Pattern making video I did with Eastwood
Check out the video I did recently with Eastwood about the basics of making a paper pattern when shaping sheet metal. It features the Handmade fenders I just did. Making an acurate paper pattern of the original part, the 'Buck' or the opposing part you need to create is the first step to shapping an accurate panel. PLEASE SHARE! and check out my shop page for more...

Thanx for the link. Great tip on the carpenters pencil. Will be using that soon.. Easy to understand video, well done. Is there a follow up especially on the shrinking of the radiused sections or is it simply heat/shrink as you go?

I am a power hammer guy so I use thumbnail shrink for just about everything. If I did not have that option i would have built the panel with more stretch then shrink. I still would have to shrink the edges and it would have been with stump shrinking and with crushing the wrinkled edges created from blocking up the stretch over a bag or hardwood. Non of this would have been fun with 18g steel though

great item thanks for sharing , the best way to make a panel copy
for the radius sweeps on the corners i would have used strips of metal hammered on the out side edge untill they formed the correct curve to the panel then marked on the pattern the hight to use them. i fined the redius gauges are a bit short on longer sweeps . hope this makes sence look forward to seeing more.

Mike, nice professionally done video. I do the paper patterns with the magnets and fingers cut just like you do but never would use a radius gauge. Once I have the paper fingers lying flat on the panel I dust coat them with fast drying black Krylon. Yes, all my magnets do have many coats of Krylon on them. When I lay my paper pattern on the sheet I can tell by the un-painted parts of the fingers how deep to pull the shrinks plus the width of the un-painted paper gives you a pretty good idea of how much to shrink & where. I mark ¾” out from where the un-painted portion of the finger stops because I learned at Scott Knight’s class that thumb nail dies will shrink ¾” out in front of where you stop going into the panel.
I also mark blank cutting lines with pin-striping tape and sometimes even use flexible magnetic guides for pin-stripers but again I just dust coat them with dark Krylon. I only need the accuracy of a scribe line when I’m joining 2 panels together. ~ John Buchtenkirch

Paper patterns have a useful accuracy of .010” on panels that have not had their surface areas manipulated, at least for me.
In my experience, using paper of certain weights has advantages in particular operations. Like re-skinning the dihedral intersecting panels of F1 wings, for instance It’s all bonded structure of .012” 2024T3 contact-adhesed onto a molded rigid foam core with a titanium inner structure. Light as a bag of chips and incredibly strong. The fits have to be dead on because you're bonding on a mirror finish and you have to get it right the first time because of the dang contact adhesive. (icon of sweating bullets here.) Making accurate paper patterns and cutting the panels to the half-whisker are absolutely de rigeur. Good clear film of the essential standards, Mike.
