Making A Motorcycle Tank - Video Series

I recently uploaded the final video in a three-part series demonstrating the process of building this cb350 tank start-to-finish. If you’re looking to pass some quarantine time check them out and let me know what you think!

Well done man love seeing people make things from nothing.
I like the wireframe form ideas, Ive only used a block of foam carved to shape.

Also that first planishing hammer is fucking terrifying

Thanks man! I use a variety of buck types, but the wireforms are nice because you can see how the panel is fitting from the backside.

That’s actually a power hammer, the momentum goes past the lower die. It’s a beast. It’s out of tune in that video, it’s had a lot of use since I built 4-5 years ago. I just rebuilt the mechanisms and it’s way smoother now. Really it’s no more dangerous than a table saw, just looks sketchy haha
