When you start welding a seam at one end, the other end opens up as you add heat into it. You should get a perfect fit, then add a tack at either end, then space them out evenly and over time so there is not so much heat build up.

Please don't take this as sounding arrogant. But I have to ask how many compound fenders built out of .050 or .060" Aluminum you've welded? The statement you just made, in my experience with this specific type of application is completely false and will cause a huge headache. When you tack each end you eliminate the ability to make adjustments throughout the panel as you weld down the line. This typically ends up with a large bulge and potentially can cause you to loose a panel half or both sides. It would be great if you posted a video on your channel showing your technique with a similar application. The wonderful thing about metal shaping is there are many ways to achieve a common goal.
You need some little clamps I got at harbor freight they have thin blade that goes trough the seam You install a pin through a hole in the blade and screw it tight And it aligns your seam clamping it in place using several will allow you to tac a part together In one go they’re bad ass You’ll find then with the weld supply’s

Thanks for your comment Steeltree. I don’t mean to sound arrogant but have to ask if you have any experience using those on aluminum? They work great for steel panelwork but they leave too large a gap and are not favorable for aluminum panel welds.
I weld aluminum allot but mostly Tube either square or round Or 1/4 flat stock I’ve had. Problems with penetration with aluminum So a gap always helped To ensure a complete weld With aluminum I unjust with the size of filler I’m adding I’ve never done what you do forming panels But I intend on trying it Thanks for responding My favorite thing about UA-cam Interacting with people you admire Your work is spectacular keep it up I can build anything.....getting it on film and uploading is my challenge I’m actually thinking about building my own English wheel
A bold man, working with a ring. Either way, your latest seems to be the greatest! Keep it up!
Can't wait to see the new car. You're craftsmanship is inspirational

RÜNGE CARS well you have a point. I don't do this kind of shaping. My experience is with welding steel. Do what works for you.
hello i have a similar libert shear i just converted.. im wondering what you have found to be the capacity for your machine,,
I notice you don't use gloves... Don't your hands get torn up?
Thanx and...
cheers

What technique is used to get the final smooth finish?
Great work, but I wince for your hands in advance ;-)
