Several years ago, I bought the first of Peter's DVD's, Series 1-6. Then a couple of months ago I got Series 7-9. Sometimes it takes me a long time to actually sit down and watch video's; which was no different this time. What was different this time, was that I attended one of Peter's seminar's; which was held in Everett WA, last month. After taking Peter's seminar, I had some down time (from some surgery) and watched every one of the DVD's; which are the best DVD's that I've ever seen. The Series 1-6 are really good: Series 1 Basic shrinking and stretching metal. Paper patterns Series 2 Using tools. Bulbous shapes Series 3 Making return shapes Series 4 How to make a rust repair section with hand tools Series 5 Gas welding, repair and metalfinishing lesson. Series 6 How to make a door skin using the English wheel The Series 7-9 are the one's that will blow you away; which are advanced skills in panel fabrication & forming with hand tools: Series 7 Stretching and shrinking Series 8 Hand swaging Series 9 Hand forming The Series 7-9 show you all the techniques displayed during the fabrication of a HK Monaro rear quarter panel. Remember all of the above DVD's show you how, with just hand tools. Peter's DVD's are hands down my favorite metalshaping video's. I have a rather extensive collection and these are the best. www.handbuilt.net.au
Here is a Youtube video of Peter making a one piece HK/T/G Monaro quarter panel; which is completely detailed on video's Series 7-9, of his set of videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIpOhz0uGRM
Yes Peters DVD's are some of the best out there I also have them all well worth the $$ Plus I attended his inaugural class in California this September & if you get a chance go to one of his hands on class. He is working on coming back to the USA next year & holding several classes all around the country.
they were playing the whole series on tv a few years ago (a quarter hour at a time at the end of a terrible auto themed show). I was spewin' when they canceled it. always wanted to buy the set and take one of his seminars but never had the cash.
Those were a different series of video's, they were from the program "Gasolene"; which were of Tommasini and Peach. These video's are just of Peter Tommasini that came our less than two years ago. One of my friends was talking about the same video's you were talking about. http://sydneyinstituteonline.net/uclibrary/2011/08/04/gasolene-ultimo-tafe-library/ There are several Tommasini and Peach video's on Youtube.
