Newbie!
Hi All, my name is Jeremy and I'm interested in learning more about forming sheetmetal using a powerhammer and planishing techniques. Really enjoy metal working at the hobby level, making useful things for myself and others which fits in well with my occupation as a mechanical engineer, but haven't done much sheetmetal forming. Looking forward to getting involved on the forum.

Welcome to the forum Jeremy. Why power hammer? that is hardly a hobby level machine. Most things can be done with a few hand tools, once you have learned how the metal moves using hand tools you can decide what machines you need or don't need.

Welcome Jeremy, definitely check out those suggested DVDs. They are a must have tool for a metalshaper. Also think about taking a metalworking class, such as Dagger Tools offer, in Wixom MI. All well worth your time if you want to shape metal.
