Default Schelin Shrinks a Reverse Curve: Video

Hi all.

Last week I was at Wray Schelin's shop in Connecticut working with a class to wheel panels for a custom car. Wray showed us how to shrink a reverse curve on a specially shaped log. The steel is 19 gauge. As usual, Wray's make it look so easy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK-vdlTvBHI

The part made is the front of a wheel arch and the reverse curve flows out to become the fender flare.

Interesting, especially for aircraft parts where one needs to maintain the material thickness.

Gene Olsen showed this some time back also. There is an artsy name for it but I can't recall what it is.

Wray did something similar back in 2002 at Formfest 02. We needed to do a shrink in the middle of the door skin for for Les Edmonson's ZM2 roadster. He took a couple piece of OSB, carved a wedge out of them and used that to create a shrink. Blew me away.

Here are a few photos. I think he made it out of maple, which is readily available in New England.

his classes are hands on. I went for a 3 day class. You start at 8 am and finish each night at about midnight. You have free reign on his shop ,tools and most of all his knowledge.
All the people in my class were all new to metalshaping including myself. I learned a lot ,but not nearly enough to be good at it. I keep practicing and plan on attending again soon
