I want to make sure I have these terms straight.
blocking
Creating a rough shape by working the metal into a hollow.
Hollowing
Working the inside of a panel from the outside edge towards the center.
Drawing
Is performed by placing a piece of sheet metal over a die cavity and then pushing the sheet into the opening with a punch.
Maybe we should start a new thread on the terms of sheet-metal shaping.
This has turned into a interesting thread.
