This is the one you’ve all been waiting for! Our compound curve class is one of our most desired classes and also one of the most fun! This is a hands on class where Levi will teach you both the basics as well as the complexities of compound metal shaping.
We will cover things like “shape vs form” ,shrinking and stretching, proper tool usage, pattern making, power hammer techniques, planishing hammer, and even a little bit of Pullmax. This class will touch a little bit on TIG welding, panel fitment, and more!
Day 1) Metal theory slideshow with tons of critical info until lunchtime.
After lunch we will have a basic compound curve shaping competency (you’ll learn how to make the metal actually fit something right)
Getting familiar with the machines
Day 2) Hands on all day! Finish your comps or move on to something more advanced like making a miniature belly tank lakester body (shape the panels to fit a wooden buck) we also have a chopped shoebox sail panel you can try and make fit a buck and we even have a 32 ford door skin 3W coupe buck you can take a swing at. Sky’s the limit in this class. Come learn from the best and hang out with some cool cats.
This is a more advanced class but if you are a beginner and want to learn how to do this we encourage you to join us. The pace of this class is pretty intense. We will cover things like; design, pattern making, material selection, Tig welding, compound curve shaping, and panel fitment. We guarantee you will learn a lot!
