Previously the domain of large factories and certain old-school fabricators, power hammers are now available to hot rodders and collector-car restoration shops. As more and more fabricators consider the purchase of a power hammer there comes the need for a book explaining which hammer to buy and how best to use this fabricator's super tool. If it takes two hours to make a quarter panel for a Ferrari on an English Wheel, the same panel can be crafted on a power hammer in less than 30 minutes by a fabricator with a good working knowledge of this reborn technology. Author Longyard includes detailed step-by-step photos of well-trained and well-known craftsmen working with both steel and aluminum. He takes each project from the first planning session to the finished piece. The projects include both shrinking and stretching, plus the why and how of using a buck to guarantee accuracy.

Manufacturing Technology - I is a branch of mechanical engineering which involves transformation of raw materials from its original state to a finished product by changing its shape and few properties in a series of steps. Not all manufacturing processes can produce a product easily, economically and with good quality. Each process is generally categorised by some advantages and limitations over the other processes. This subject gives information about the different joining methods for metals, different plastic moulding techniques and sheet metal processes. It also includes different forming techniques and casting processes. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and figures bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
