Ive been filming a few different tuck shrinking methods for my next video, and just figured out I can capture stills (Im a little slow). These are pictures of tucks formed with my foot tucker, and hammered down with a steel hammer over a hard steel surface, as well as picture showing what kind of shaping you can do with this method. You can see the thumbnail die type markings where the shrink is. This is a very controllable method of shrinking, without any expensive equipment. John www.ghiaspecialties.com
