Very impressive.
English wheel, plannishing hammer, Pullmax, shrinker/stretcher, a large collection of hammers and dollies, and a whole lot of practice. We make a lot of paper and metal templates along with wooden bucks to keep things the same side to side. Each piece and shape is different, so it is hard to tell you what to do in a general situation. I would reccomend taking a sheet metal working class to get going on the basics. Ron Fournier, Lazze, Ron Covell and others are out there putting on good classes. Ron Covell also has a lot of books and videos available.
