In this episode of Metal Shaping tips and tricks, Wray wanted to show how to make an extreme reverse curve on the inexpensive side. He starts off by annealing this hard aluminum (creating a layer of soot on the panel and burning it off). He then takes the panel to a tool he created using an large pipe elbow to secure the panel while shrinking it with our mallet. When he is finished he shows a nice reverse curve from 5 minutes of hitting. All that needs to be done from there is smoothing it out with an English Wheel and possibly another round of shrinking.
