I thought I'd post a link to some books I found. They are on line and free to download. They are old, but I thonk there's some good information to be had.

In Calgary Canada the Southern Alberta Institue of Technology (Sait) now offers a metal shaping class that runs for 30 hours, twice a week for 5 weeks. You will find it in the continuing education section of their website. It is a new course and from what I've heard the next course will be offered in early 2011. Enter metalshaping into the search tab on this page.

Default DVD/Videos

I also have an instructional DVD and have placed the contents of that DVD on YouTube in four installments. Here are the url's:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEgnRNcn7BQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oShUNY7G34Y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRmY9TczVlI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw7--BKKYdY

The last of the video is shrinking stainless steel.
There will be another update video coming along that will revise some of what is on this current content. I have found that the TuckPuck really functions better when mounted to a good solid surface since I did the first video. And I have some other products that I need to feature. It will be in HD as soon as I get a more powerful quad core computer capable of editing the AVCHD format.
Whereas this video is featuring my TuckPuck product, the techniques are similar to those used in stump shrinking. I can't speak to whether the stainless can be shrunk on a stump. It shrinks very easily on the TuckPuck. Perhaps I need to do a stump and do a side by side comparison.

My website is: http://www.tuckpuck.com/ I will be updating the webpage to add more product and better links to the YouTube videos.

As for DVD's:
www.lazzemetalshaping.com/

I saw on Covell movies that he uses bead roller made by Lazze (they are friends by the way). There You can find free videos, DVD's for sale, books and hardware.
This web was the first I have found when seeking knowledge concerning metal shaping

Unless, I missed it in the above posts, we should add the recent book by Cass Nawrocki.

Default DVD's, books and tools

Tomek,

There is not one general website that sells all metal shaping related books, tools and DVD's, but in Kerry's first post, you will find a listing of websites you can go to that will get you started.

One thing I've found is there are many ways to make the same shape. Some people prefer the quietness of the english wheel (ex. Lazze) while others will pound it out with some sort of hammer (ex. Kent White). Some DVD's focus on a single area, like the bead roller DVD that Ron Covell sells. Once you find which technique works for you, you can pursue information along those lines. However, you will also want to try the other techniques, as they come in handy some times.

Amazon, ebay, or directly to the sites above - there are a variety of ways to find the DVD's and books.

For free information, there is always youtube. But my advice would be to put a serious effort into searching, and reading, this site. It will take some hours, but you'll find a lot of information.
