Karl Fisher at Make It Kustom does some awesome metal shaping, and often with cool machines. But he also does a lot of hand shaping, and even teaches classes on the subject at metal shops around the world. And while he has done videos about metal shaping, he’s usually using a mix of both hand and power tools. But the video below is all about making compound curves without any fancy power tools.
In the video below you’ll see Karl using a shrinking stump, sandbag, and English wheel to make complex compound curves using just those tools and a few hammers.
Watch.
