Series 3 and Number 6

We are gearing up for a new series on Television. Number 3 will hit the screens around December 2008. Thank you for your patience with all the repeats that you must be seeing.

If you have been watching the Gasolene series, you will notice that each episode briefly showcases some of the work by Peach and Tommasini. Their DVD collection has expanded to hours of commentary, instructional video and detailed advice from the masters of metal working.

Number 6 is now available for purchase and covers how to make a door skin and steel welding. It is a great follow up to number 5 that covered edge wiring, weheel arch return and basic mud guards.

Brisbane metal forming seminars a hit with the locals

I would like to thank all the people at OzRods for their help hosting the metal forming seminar with Peach and Tommassini. They were a huge success and very well recieved.

Check out this slideshow of pictures from the seminar that I took on the day. We got lots of positive comments from the participants including the following. Well done team :-)

"The Tom Peach and Peter Tommasini seminar was the best practical demonstration of hand forming of panels I have ever seen. I have already the DVD set but meeting the guys in person and seeing Tom work his magic up close is even bettter. He was very helpful and stopped to answer any questions. A fantastic day, I would recommend it to anyone, well worth the cost."
- Terry Sullivan (who we call our number one fan!)

"Great day, lots of fun, very interactive. Highly recommend it to anyone. Everyone that's interested in forming metal, this is the lecture for you."
- Kenny Rivers

"Best Practical info that I could relate to and use in my trade"
- Justin Dunglison (Panel Beater)

"Great day, pleasure to see Tom and Peter in person, working their magic on metal."
- Ed Hudson

"Thank you to everyone involved in the seminar recently held in Brisbane. I was amazed with how Tom and Peter explained and demonstrated simple ways to shape and form metal with the simplest of low cost tools and the fact the I was able to test what I had just learnt after the show. Meeting Tom and Peter was a great experience and knowledge of metal work was an inspiration to me."
- Adam Doyle

Brisbane

Gasolene isnt just a television series, you can catch us on the road at various car shows around Australia.

Not so long ago, you might have spotted me at the Brisbane Hot Rod Show in May 2008. Many lucky people were able to pick up sets of the metal working DVD's that we produce from the show and registered their interest in the Brisbane seminar. I managed to get some time to myself looking at all the fantastic cars and meeting the owners and metal workers!

The next show I am looking forward to going to will be at Meguiar's MotorEx at the Sydney show grounds on 5th and 6th July.

Catch you there :-)

Metalworkers Peach and Tommasini

I have uploaded my first video to GoogleVideo. In this small clip, Tom and Peter debunk the myth that you cannot make a complex car panel without elaborate machines. They illustrate this with a Holden Monaro rear panel that they constructed using just hand-tools and a single sheet of metal.

Their work has been regularly showcased with a spot on my television show "Gasolene". You can see this by turning your dial to Channel 31 or just clicking on this link. I reckon it is great that Peach and Tomassini have freely shared some of their trade secret. You can see that they really enjoy the fine art of crafting cars and vehicle technology.



Contact me if you are interested in viewing more of their work or interested in purchasing a DVD.
