Críticas:

Of my many failings or vices in life, an instant attraction to technical and 'how to' books ranks right up there alongside coffee as an essential part of life. The whole concept of making things appeals to me, be it a bracket or an engine plate or anyhting, and if there's a publication about it then it's a one for me. This latest books from Wolfgang Publications is all about sheet metal fabrication at the basic end: and from what I've read in it, there will be enough information for any classic enthusiast to begin the none to gentle art of shaping metal into motorcycle parts. As with many modern publications of this type, it's aimed at the custom market; but the dedicated classic restorer or maintainer shouldn't let this put them off, as the basics are the same whatever the end product is to be. Inside the book the reader will be shown how to make patterns from simple materials, the sorts of tools a small workshop should be looking at and what sort of metals can be worked by them. Throughout the book, anyone attempting to work sheet metal is shown safe working methods, and is encouraged to use them, along with safety equipment, so that the whole experience is satisfying rather than painful. In the end though it comes down to this...you may not want to make a double compound curved rear mudguard from scratch, but if the untinkable happens and the one on your bike is damaged, you could well be able to repair it after a read and some practise. --Classic Bike Guide, Sept, 2010

...shows you what tools will be required to bend, stretch, shrink, weld and manipulate steel and aluminium. The sheet metal book does this through a series of practical projects, aimed at building a custom motorcycle, which not only demonstrates the techniques of working and joining metal, but also illustrate how jobs can be less daunting if broken down into small elements. --Classic American, November, 2013

Reseña del editor:

Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics is designed to provide how-to help for fabricators working at home and in small shops. Whether the goal is a hand-made air dam or a one-off air cleaner cover, the project can be done without expensive power tools. This book was created with the help of fabricators like Rob Roehl, tin-man for bike-builder Donnie Smith, as well as Bruce Terry and Ron Covell. Projects include the creation of simple shapes made with hammer and dolly, hand-operated shrinker-stretcher, English wheel, and various mallets. Some objects are made from more than one piece, thus the book also includes a section on welding both aluminum and steel, with gas and TIG. You can learn to fabricate sheet metal. All you need is the raw material, the sincere desire to learn and a copy of this new Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics book from Wolfgang Publications. 144 pages long, and over 400 B&W images.
