Sure enough, the aluminum hardly puts up a fight. With the aluminum securely between the two pieces of the clamping form, Stone used several different sized soft hammers and mallets (such as rawhide, rubber, or copper) and several different wood or phenolic dollies to shape the aluminum.

By the time he finished, he’d made about 1,000 strikes. View Related Article
