Fluid Forming Compound Shapes in Aluminum Parts
Use water pressure and a cavity to form sheetmetal parts, with either city water pressure or an inexpensive high-pressure pump. We show you how to make aluminum shapes that are smooth and free of marks. Other types of sheetmetal can certainly be "inflated" into some interesting shapes.

Gas Welding Aluminum 2.1, "The Difficult" (2 DVD set)
In that first film I deliberately avoided the higher-strength alloys along with brazing and soldering. I wanted to keep that film short and to a specific point: teaching people to gas weld aluminum and with a minimum of fuss. Now, after these ensuing years, it is time to delve into the more complex aspects of this science/art.
