Sheet metal is a common and widely used material, which can be easily worked using hand tools or simple machinery. There are lots of opportunities for designing, making and using sheet metal parts to produce elegant, effective and low cost solutions for new items, repairs and modifications to existing components. This new guide takes a practical approach to the manufacture of sheet metal parts, and explains how you can make full use of hand tools and machines to produce ambitious work of a high standard. Topics covered include the use of specialist tools such as snips, nibblers, folders, the jenny, the flypress, punches and dies; and techniques for manufacturing a wide range of sheet metal parts, including marking out, cutting, bending, joining and finishing. There are practical projects to illustrate the use of techniques and tools. Fully illustrated with 337 colour illustrations and 109 CAD diagrams.

Dr Marcus Bowman has been machining metal for forty years, and programming since 1970. A lifelong maker of (amongst many other things) models, clocks and tools, he has made a wide range of threaded and screwcut items, from small nuts and bolts to specialist parts for industrial machines. This is his third book for Crowood; he has also written CNC Milling in the Workshop and Sheet Metal Work.
