Fun

Had fun playing with the english wheel today . The most recent body panels for
the streamliner that I picked up from my C minus aluminum man made needed help
and I got them looking passable . Decided to try making the blisters that'll
cover the Dana hubs that stick through the body . C-clamped a scrap piece of
.050" 3003 between two pieces of 3/4" plywood with the right shape teardrop
cutout and hammered it with my plastic hammer till it had the right bulge .
Then wheeled it smooth which took some screwing around to roll in near the
flange . Was considering cutting a piece of maple to the shape of the inside
of the blister and hammering the aluminum over it to get the shape closer .
Has anybody used that method ?
