one of the better ones
i've bought a lot of sheet metal fab books on amazon, and this is one that really is for the backyard fabricator. expensive machinery is next to nil in this book and instead focuses on very gradual basics of moving sheet metal with most tools you can easily afford or fabricate yourself. bought the jesse james austin speed shop dvds on amazon, and although they're affordable and interesting to watch if you were a west coast choppers fan, they cannot hold a candle to this book as far as educational value. i only wish that rob roehl (pictured on the cover) would release fabrication videos, maybe showing how to even set up basic fixtures at home and how they could potentially shape custom parts at home. long story short, you can't go wrong buying this one.

Exactly what the title promises.
This book is aptly named. It covers the basics. For someone new to fabrication it is a necessary addition.

Blechbearbeitung nicht nur für Motoräder
Auf Grund der Bebilderung und dem an sich leicht verständlichen Text ist es eine unglaubliche Hilfe für viele Detaillösungen und Arbeitsschritte bei der Blechbearbeitung. Sowohl für Stahl als auch Aluminium werden spezielle Arbeitsschritte leicht verständlich erklärt. Obwohl es als Biker Basics bezeichnet ist, sind die Inhalte auch für den Karosseriebau bestens gegeignet. Leider gibt es für diese sehr speziellen Themengebiete kaum deutschsprachige Lektüre. Wer den Aufwand nicht scheut sich mit dem Buch auseinander zu setzen, erfährt mit ihm einen "Tiefgang" in die Geheimnisse der Blechbearbeitung. Beim Kauf empfehle ich die Advanceversion gleich mit zu bestellen. Beide Werke sind unglaublich lehrreich. Wer sich mit der Blechverformung von Stahl - und Aluminiumblechen beschäftigt sollte beide Exemplare sein Eigen nennen. Wer allerdings der Meinung ist, das er nach dem Studieren beider Werke nichts neues darin finden konnte, dem kann ich wohl nur bescheinigen, das er ein ganz Großer seiner Zunft sein muss!
