hung like a stud field mouse and
or know the where abouts of a shrinker/stretcher for sheet metal?

Looking for one. I see them at eastwood or harbour frieght, but the 300 bucks scare me:doh:
 
Yup, I've got one. Or several, I should say.

Not to be a smart ass, but I call them hammers and dollies.

Are those the ambidextrous (?) convertible hammers? Got to get some of them.



Shrinkers and stretchers are great little tools, but with some practice you can do a better job with a hammer, in absolutely any contour you want.

If you can find some time, could you put together a simplistic how to thread?

shrinking and stretching you don't have to give away trade secrets just the basics.

I did follow your advice and made a bag from a glove (not a huge one from a leather jacket) works neato I can make cool curves but not really sure what's going on when I'm doing it.
 
These guys can explain it much better than I can -

or search for anything by Ron Covell, a true Master of metalwork. I'm good in my own little world, but a hack compared to Ron Covell.

With some practice and some thinking, just about anybody can work metal with very simple tools.
