hi guys, made a lot of my own tools , copys of things i learned on www.metalmeet.com and www.metalshapers.org the bat hammer has become one of my favorite tools and the tucking fork and shrinking disc are all things a person can make for very little. also don`t overlook a stump for forming and shrinking . also an air powered planishing hammer can be made for very little. gary
^^^^^^^^ The one I made . Used2 1/4 tube on one end that has acc. that slide in like the plow disk with sand bag . The three different size tubes make for those radi and you can form by moving slow to make different curves . Hope this helps . Blue
Heres a pair of handy tools, one of those cobbler stakes with different shoe sizes. I polish them and they have all mannor of radius etc to shape small brackets on and a large 'shot' bag for fornming.
