Sheet Metal Stretching
I am trying to find or make a forming block of sorts... To be used with a blocking hammer to stretch sheet metal to form my own panel repairs. I have
seen huge 400mm squarechuncks of hardwood used or even leather sand bags. I was thinking of making a timber block one but have been told that I need
to kiln dry the timber to stop it splitting and not only that where does one find a piece of timber 900mm high? I also do not know where to buy a
sandbag. Has anyone made up some thing like this before or can tell me where to get a hold of one.

Strex, cheapest way to get a beaterbag is to use a leather handbag and fill it with sand.
Otherwise give this guy a call http://www.rodsandrelics.com.au/site/index.php?cat=beater_bags_&sub=tools
This guy also makes and sells heaps of other tools
Cheers
