Car restoration became my obsession over time as I was fascinated by the shape and artistic style of vintage, veteran and prestige vehicles. My main objective is to restore and recreate the cars that have been icons in the history of motor racing and have also grabbed the hearts of enthusiasts around the world. The men and woman who share that special attachment to a "bucket of bolts with four wheels" will understand the obsession I have had for 40 years.
HAND TOOLS:
Some have been resurrected from designs that have faded away as times have changed. We have chosen the name "Handbuilt" to represent the 'old school' tools and techniques that were used in the days when men building cars were craftsmen. For more information and prices please contact us.
NIGHT CLASSES:
We have constructed these night classes to teach advanced techniques in panel fabrication. Through these classes you will achieve an advanced level of skills such as complicated return shapes, bulbous shapes, oxy welding, panel beating, rust repairs, plenishing and many more. As you become confident and have achieved an appropriate skill level, you can bring in a project of your own or create artistic items such as medieval helmets and ornaments.
SEMINARS:
Seminars will demonstrate the skills I have been using over many years and include metal shrinking - cold and hot, stretching, blocking, plenishing and wheeling and welding of aluminium and steel.
This is followed by an in-depth discussion and answering of your questions. Time permitting, there will also be an opportunity for hands-on experience towards the end of the day - material supplied.
DVD's:
Handbuilt by Peter Tommasini, DVD Series 4, 5 and 6 priced at AU$110.00 are now available for purchase. DVD Series 1, 2 and 3 are still available for purchase at a reduced price of AU$105.00.
