Metal Fabricator's Handbook [Fournier, Ron] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Metal Fabricator's Handbook Review: Great, well-rounded metal fabrication book. - Ron Fournier's Metal Fabricator's Handbook is one of the items a hobbyist fabricator should have on their bookshelf. The book's sturdy binding even lends itself well to sitting on the workbench, where some of my favorite machining and fabrication books end up, to be thumbed through with dirty hands. The Handbook starts off with a pretty detailed chapter on handtools, paying particularly good attention to the vast array of hammers, mallets, dollys and spoons that made even a seasoned fabricator like me say "hunh, so that's what it's for" to a couple things. After handtools, the book goes into power tools, forming tools such as English wheels, brakes and shot bags, then jumps into the use of it all through detailed automotive projects the author has done. Some of the projects are definitely a bit dated, but the techniques are what's important. Overall the Metal Fabricator's Handbook is a well written, informative part of a hot rodder's library.

Basic metalworking
New addition is touted as " updated" but I see no difference from the original. Good book if you are just starting to learn metalworking basics, indicating tools and basic techniques. Not going to help more experienced people.

Great book!
A bit dated, but sound advice and great information. I refer to it often. It always helps to learn other people's techniques and add to your repertoire. Small price for that...buy the book

Excelente libro, me sirvió para la fabricación de un auto de carreras que estaba totalmente destruido, desde el chasis hasta partes de componente mecánicos como horquillas de suspensión, los escapes, etc. Éste junto con el de como soldar me ayudaron muchísimo.

A must have for Sand Rail owners
I love this book. It has a lot of great information and suggestions. I used it along with "Baja Bugs and Buggies". They are a must for anyone who works on their own Sand Rail.

Das ist ein super Buch und hält was es verspricht - schade ist nur, das es nicht in deutscher Sprache ist.

Quality information that will likely never be outdated. It is as relevant today as it was in 1982 when it was written.
