Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics (Biker Basics) Paperback – October 15, 2007

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.

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

Great Great book. Easy to read and understand.
