    Hi all,

    I'm searching for a metal working/shaping book for my father. He's a machinist and builds custom items on the side. He mentioned he would love to have a book on bending, tabbing, breaking sheet metal. If anyone knows of a quality book, please send me over a link.

    Thanks again

  6. The Key to Metal Bumping is another great book- usualy around $15 on Amazon/Espay.

    He doesn't do much forming with hammer and dolly. He is more into bending flat sheet metal into trays. So he's mostly looking for an informative book on laying out patterns and cutting tabs and bends on flat sheet metal.

    http://www.fournierenterprises.com/cart/home.php?cat=1 - These look promising.
