This is where I should have done an apprenticeship rather than a degree lol!!

Anybody know of a simple online guide to marking out sheet metal to form a segment-folded bend between two different curves?

I was shown this by an ex-rolls-royce sheet metal guy, who just used dividers to do it all, but I can't remember how the bloody hell he did it!!

this sort of thing?

i was having a general browse on amazon and there are some good (according to the reviews) books on the subject. There are also some terrible ones.
