Hammer form




I wanted to start forming the bottoms of my tanks differently for my friend Keith's shovelhead project in TX.  I made a MDF hammer form the shape of the tank bottom, and started moving metal over the rounded edge of the form.  The finished product makes me happy, and I dig how the bottom dishes in.  I think it cleans things up quite a bit.
