The reason you're confused is you have no grasp of the basics of using

hand tools to form sheet metal. I suggest you buy this DVD and get a

clue.


But I am not confused. I was asking a member of this group when he would use which tool. Never hurts to get additional opinions.





If you don't understand how to work sheet metal with hand

tools then all power tools will do is get you in trouble faster and

further mask your real problems.



I agree with you on this.

The answer to all your questions is watching the right video. You will
not find the information you need asking questions.

Without a doubt this is the best video I've ever seen and I own the
majority of sheet metal forming videos ever made... Covell, White,
Fournier, etc. Did you watch this link that I posted before? If not, I
suggest you watch it. Now, not later. :)

If you like David's no bull****, friendly, style I'd be more than happy
to lend you his video. It's worth ten times the $40 plus shipping from
the UK I paid for it. There is simply no video that's even close to this
video for starting out. I know it and a bunch of people on the H.A.M.B
and other places know it as well. David is also an incredibly nice
person who I have nothing but respect for. There is so much helpful
information in his video that it's mind boggling.

Sheet metal work is very physical work.

One set of videos I don't own are the one's done by Peter Tommasini.
When I have some free time I'm going to order them. This guy says they
are the best and I respect his opinion. I would still start with David
Gardner's video.

Like David Gardner, Peter Tommasini also makes it very clear that it's
not about the tools.
