Get an old tree stump, a real old big bugger a couple feet in diameter and the same length as you would set the top of an anvil, and then, using convex faced hammers, pound depressions of varying shapes, differing radiii spherical sections. You can pound the metal against the wood and form very smooth curves, its a large part of how medieval armour was made. Making big heavy sledgehammers with lightly domed faces (and no square edge that would put a crease in the metal) will help a lot, and you can quickly learn to make very very pronounced shapes from single pieces of steel. Together with domed and curved stakes (like the gas bottle safety cap for example) to planish the metal from the other side and you can (if you take the time and refine the hammer surface to avoid marring the metal) mirror smooth metal domes and curves, mirror for real: polish them and you can shave in them... Or you can use the same techniques for a tenth the time and get something that with sanding and filling can be made perfect for paint. Source: I used to make armour out of 12-20 ga steel with not much more than hammers, a tree stump, an old axle with a carefully shaped head, and some snips. Back then I had no idea how to weld, sometimes I would rivet things, but mostly everything was formed from flat sheet. Later on I started reading about panel beaters, and found out about power hammers and bead rollers and English wheels, but still, most of it is doable with a well shaped stump, a stake or two, and some good hammers.

@@bartsarton2212 No more than passable, but I did learn what I can do from a remarkable craftsman. Years and years ago, back in my 20s. Look up a sculptor named Jeff De Boer, he has done a lot of work in different forms, but he has always had a thing for armour as a metaphor, and he started out building it. Still does among other work, its something he comes back to a lot., and it's very worthwhile to see his stuff... Some of it is abstract, but he's also famous for making incredibly intricate suits of armour for cats and mice... And it's 'real', like wearable, functional, made from steel and leather and such.... I have enormous respect for what fit zee does, in his own area, but the stuff this guy does is otherworldly. I really ought to go visit him, Covid has kept me at home for a while.

Hi Tony, You bring back memories of what I remembered it being called spot glaze (red liquor putty). Now thats why the body work cracked over time. You mentiond you use CO for gas and the .023 for wire. I started using the the .023 after listening to you and you were very right with control of the weld on the sheet metal but I found out the CO/argon mix works better on the welds. Have you ever tried it and wonder is it worth it cost wise? Nice job on the quarters, BTW. I know too many car guys that also put in S.S. brake lines on the car that never drive the cars in the rain only to and from shows in nice weather but worry they might rust up if the use steel lines. Good point about the paint on the inside.

Yes I remember back in the day using a piece of brass as backing when welding those small holes. This brings back early days of auto body shop classes. Back in the day our instructor was a mud slinger, he would lap weld metal in than hammer down and cover with mud ( auto body filler). Back ther didn't know anything about cut n but. Thanks for education.
