This review is from: Sheet Metal Fabrication: Techniques and Tips for Beginners and Pros (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I am a metalworker, and a friend loaned this book to me. Lots and lots of photos and talk of tools and shop equipment, and actually little about technique, methods, theory. Some of the "projects" are awful as well. If this is your interest, then buy Fournier's books, and the ones by Remus.

I have several other books on this subject and I still found it very practical and informative. Articles on shrinking panels very good. Worth buying.

I am a metal fabricator and car builder. I would not recommend this book. The book takes a look at interesting projects with very little applicable information, and a broad overview of tooling. Save your money if you have moderate skills or better and check out Fournier and Remus.
