Bonnet Skin
I made several attempts at getting the bonnet done.
The first attempt involved beating it with a big mallet. That ended in the bin. The second attempt involved bending, beating, heat shrinking, panel beating, the shrinker / stretcher / a shrinking disc etc I got it closer but before I spent a couple hours sanding it, it was an utter mess. I was afraid it was going to crack due to hard and soft patches from all the heat I put into it. There was nigh on 5 weekends work in getting this far. I've never done metalwork like this before so it was good practice so the skills learn't won't go to waste. I wasn't happy, so I watched a load of youtube and tried a rubber band on the English Wheel. Lazze made it look easy. But it was worth a go.... 20 minutes later I had a perfectly fitting bonnet skin. read more here Next is the nose section

You got there in the end and have a better understanding of what happens with different techniques, even if they weren't what you wanted at the time.
