New Tools For Doing Auto Body Work
Wayne Hagen, Hagen Mfg. Ltd., Lake Alma, Sask.: "I've designed and built some neat tools for doing auto body work. They include an English Wheel, which I use to shape larger sheets of auto body metal; a bead roller, which puts various beads or ribs in metal to make it stronger and also improve its looks; a pneumatic planishing hammer, which is used to sculpture sheet metal; an automotive frame straightener, which pulls on the frame and body steel to correct damage to frames; a manual metal roller; and a 12-ton press.
  "Tools like these are used in TV shows such as æAmerican Hotrod', æRides', and æAmerican Chopper.' I offer plans that give you the satisfaction of building your own tools at a fraction of the original cost.    "I sell plans for other shop tools, too. Most of them have been featured in FARM SHOW over the years. All these tools are hydraulic-driven. They include a 4-ft. brake and shear combination, a bar shear, a 12-in. throat punch, a light wall tubing roller, and a light wall tubing bender. "
