very cool, I wish I knew about using a wooden log with a divit and a hammer before I went crazy trying to shape a sheet for my cars floor. I got it ruff enough to keep the water out but it looks like crap. someday I got to make a proper patch for it, this video gets me that much closer. thanks

@eelguy95 you can use a slapper or flipper as brits say.low or no$?no problem.you can make one from a leaf spring from a wrecked car or truck.metal shappers.org i believe have plans with photos.you use a slapper over a dollie that matches the shape of the patch panel you"re trying to fabricate.themultiple light hits spread over the metal planishes or smooths it out.hope this helps.

Is there a way to smooth out the ripples without big power tools?

Also you can use a shrinker/stretcher to shrink those waves on the edges and an english wheel to smooth out your rough shaping on the bag.

Where is that power/planishing hammer from?
