  THANK YOU! Really well done video - Very consise yet also comprehensive, covering quite a lot. <br>Being on a tight metalworking budget (more time than money here), this is so helpful in showing what I ACTUALLY NEED to do a good job.

  Those shrinking dies look like a refined version of the shrinking hammer and dolly, and a &nbsp;lot kinder to the steel. <br>I havent done much sheet metal work but it is in my realm of interests<br>Thanks for the information and the demo

  Came here as an armourer looking to shrink some overworked plates. Thanks for all the different methods, I have the tools on hand for at least a couple of these!

  I use a propane Torch on body panels all the time. &nbsp;The trick is when it&apos;s popping in and out, if it&apos;s right when it pops in. Then you just need to heat the area and quench it. It will usually retract to that popped in position. &nbsp;If it&apos;s the out position. &nbsp;Then take a body hammer with the spike and hit it in the middle to basically stretch it to the middle in a tighter spot. And start shrinking.

  A very good explanation of the options. The first time I watched a shrinking fork wasJaphands making one. He then showed how to use it and it looked a mess until the last few minutes it all became clear that it was very effective at doing the job and you suddenly understand. <br>A bit like watching Rolf Harris drawing you think what the hell is he doing then you &nbsp;have that moment when you get what he was drawing. That just showed my age a bit.

  Once again thanks Tom for taking the time and showing the different ways of ShRinKaGe. Particularly the meat Tenderiser as some say, type hammer and Dolly. Great to see them in action.👌🏻
