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.

An Introduction to Aluminum Work DVD set
If you are starting out and wish to have a good overview, then Kent has chosen these DVDs specifically for you. It is hard in the beginning, so you need inspiration and careful instruction to get you going. A price savings helps too.
5 DVD Set Includes:
-Shaping Aluminum Wheel Pants
-Shrinking Magic
-Basic Damage Repair on the Aluminum Body
-Sheet Metal Repairs to the P38 Lightning
-Metal Aircraft Construction Methods
These 5 DVDs cover hand tools, measuring, cutting, forming, form blocks, patterns, shrinking, stretching, Pullmax, Air Hammer, gas welding and spot welding, too. Kent says if these DVDs had been available back in 1970, he would have learned a heck of a lot faster, saved a lot of learning curve time and would have had fewer wasted efforts on mistakes!
