Ultimate Sheet metal fabrication review February 8, 2010
James S. Wieler
Great book, very detailed and has more information than I'll ever use. I found several great tips and tricks in the welding section so it was worth the price just for that alone. The seller said it was used but I doubt the book had ever been opened before. If you are restoring a car or doing any custom fabrication, this would be a great place to start.
 Great Book! January 23, 2010

This is a great book that I find myself going back to over and over. The interviews are worth the cost of the book. I bought it specifically because someone else whined it was for advanced body men. If you're a beginner you may not understand what is being said. That's OK, buy the book and continue your auto body education and over time this stuff will become clearer.
No, it's not going to show you how to bend up boxes and cones and such. However, you will learn what some folks that are really good at this stuff think about their work and how they approach some pretty tough (but exciting) projects. You won't learn any of this slinging mud nine to five! It's hard won information at your fingertips. The sort of thing you do on your own time to get the hang of it.
If you want to learn to bend up boxes and cones (and a lot more) check out Ron Fournier's book, "Metal Fabricator's Handbook/Race & Custom Car". This too is a great book that belongs on every fabricator's bookshelf.

If you've bought a few metalworking books you don't need this one.
I was disappointed -- expected more than was given, especially on the english wheel topic.
This book read more like a press release than a how to.

Very good for the novice sheet metal worker. Good explanations on the how's and why's of sheet metal work. Great interviews with professional mechanics. Pictures also help alot, as the task is explained the reader can see the before and after of a given project. Looking forward to my first project.
 Watch two Biker Build Offs on TLC you will learn more August 11, 2005

about metal working than this terribly mis-titled book. Read the other low rated reviews. They cover the problems well enough. Only thing I can figure is all the 5 star reviews are friends of the author or something.
One guy mentions how much he learns about metal shrinking. My question is how? It is mentioned many times. In one place they have a photo caption saying heat shrinking works by heating a spot and then blasting with air to quick cool it. As for mechanical shrinkers, they never tell you how they work. Or give any info on how to figure out how much or how to really shrink metal. You will learn it can be shrunk and pretty much nothing else.
For someone wanting to learn metal work, it isn't useless. It is pretty close to it. You honestly can learn more by watching some Biker Build Offs as metal is worked in the background. I haven't been this disappointed in a book in many years.
