Morning there! thanks for another great video guys!

[@ROBByJONEs-2]

none of my business sir but 3.30 into vid. do template in pieces is my guess..now ill press play n see how how did it.. hello to Jamie also.ty for 5 star video.

[@ROBByJONEs-2]

man youre great at what you can see before its made..

[@ROBByJONEs-2]

i dont see things untill ive tripped over them. just sayin

[@31ratrod]

Can your friend who is helping you with how to use the English wheel actually come to your shop? And show you some tips and tricks.

[@FlorencioRivera-ei6ms]

Let’s not forget the beauty behind the scenes that works just as hard so we can enjoy the videos . Hi Jamie keep up the great work

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you! My pleasure! ~ Jamie

[@IndridCool54]

Morning guys! I love watching you learn! I’m going to be 70 years old in a few months and the one thing that keeps me going is learning something new everyday. I know you’re not even half my age Ian, 😐😂, but keep on keeping on! As we used to say. Love the show, love the projects, love you guys! 🥰

[@timothymerritt620]

Me too I turn 70 in July my old man told me when I was a kid the day you stop learning is the day you die

[@derbf1]

Love ❤ it! Jamie's intuition is spot on Ian, the best is yet to come😊

[@derbf1]

Ps, looks like us new 70 yr olds love this type of art😉

[@bustinyanutz4195]

Ian is 155 years old but looks a 100 years younger than that 😁 I always try to learn something new myself on a daily basis, I'm 51 and I've been this way since I could walk and talk my parents told me

[@gregdavis1487]

Absolutely, I'll be 73.

[@Hopwhisperer]

I’m 51 and I’ve been watching you since the cameras first started rolling. I used to have to search for where I could find your show. You were a breath of fresh air in an atmosphere of drama with a couple clips of actual car building. Just a guy and his dog building things thank you. Now we get to see you grow your skills on camera very brave and I’m digging it. Jamie encouraging you in the background is awesome! Thank you guys for letting us join you on this journey.

[@cckman]

Dude! Incredible work! It's like magic. I could see that once you stopped overthinking it that everything just clicked. I would love to see a WHOLE project with Ian Skin. More like Ian-Whacked!!

[@hippynurd]

My pop was a machinist and I grew up making/modifying my own tools all the time. He also showed me that when working with soft metals, like aluminum and brass, you can often use simple tools, like a pocket knife to make holes and trim stuff down. Everyone thinks that you need a million tools to do all the things, but often, you may already have something that can do the thing you need.

[@russellstewart5414]

I think that is something that makes their channel so unique. You can do this at home and try it. If you made a mistake you can always pivot back and start again, Ian says it all the time, let’s see where this goes. I’m wanting to see the finished product but no sense rushing through and then saying we could have done this or that. Make it your own thing and enjoy the journey

[@hippynurd]

Ohh, one time, I had a pair of right angle needle nose pliers that I never used, I had them 10 or 20 years and never used them on anything. One day I decided to cut and grind them down for doing electronics stuff, and they worked great, but a few months later I needed a pair of right angle needle nose pliers to take a turbo apart, and didnt have one.

[@136092195]

Had to work but as soon as i can checking out the video Awesome home made tools and got schooled thank you Both tcomity

[@JustAGuyHavingFun1]

I've had a long time moto..."Just Do The Thing!"...Meaning just go try it, what ever it is! The worst that can happen is you figure out how not to do it! Watching this I think Ian is the one that has inspired that in me over the years! Thank you Ian!

[@fullcustomIan]

Yes!

[@Wally2Feathers]

We can all appreciate the work it takes to make custom parts and panels. Where there was nothing, Ian created a custom piece 1 of 1 so far.

[@fullcustomIan]

It definitely takes a lot of work!

[@randywineinger779]

Ian, you are a true artisan! Your patience shined through on this one. Not just the cut and weld, but true craftsmanship. Bravo Sir, bravo!

[@dave-uf8ir]

O my guy's I've learnd si much excellent 😊

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Thanks Ian and Jamie. I’ve been trying to learn metal. Sometimes I find myself just staring at a piece and wondering what do I do next? How come what I did had the opposite effect of what I wanted haha! 😂 awesome 🙏!!

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

It's so exciting to watch the curves beating into submission! Here in Australia car smash repair companies are known generically as panel beaters! I never appreciated what that really meant before now! 😉 Great job FC Crew! I love ❤ you guys, it's so thrilling to see metal metamorphosis. Yeh, it's metal morphology! 🎉❤😮😊

[@nathanwalker8599]

Hi, Ian and Jamie. I absolutely love your show. And can I wait for you to make another video as I've watched them all. Would you consider asking Joe Martin from iron resurrection or going to see him? As he is the metal master, maybe he can give you some tips with the english wheel and bending and shaping steel.

[@RJo-o5v]

Ian as an old Tin Bender the square hole in your anvil is for the placement if various "Stakes". They are for forming metal shapes, one type is called a "Blow Horn" Check with a Black Smithing company. Hope this helps you!

[@lanceneuman9528]

Lovely, I've seen on KZbin where an armorer will use a concave top of a wood stump while pounding to help form a large deep curve. Like Jamie was saying sometimes I guess you just have to have imagination and make your own tools. Very cool you guys. Thanks.

[@jnorth568]

The wife's right dude😮 that's like next level stuff🎉 everything you build is a one-off custom but I do believe there would be a justifiable monetary adjustment attached to that completely handcrafted custom build not to mention the unmeasurable experience you will gain😊😊😊

[@davidrollins5402]

rite on.... only 89 over here in the other mohave desert today here in lucerne valley ... love u2.. god bless....

[@DeathRockRadioTampaFlorida]

Dude you did awesome way to go Ian 🍻🍻

[@henrylambru7878]

It's amazing how Ian uses what he has to build and fabricate. It's amazing he's like the myguyver of builders.

[@ronaldhackett7979]

Good Day Ian and Jamie! I just watched this episode and it was GREAT !! Ian did an Awesome Job on fabricating that piece! It was good to see the Professor do his Magic! Shoutout to Jamie for the Excellent Camera Work and Ideas! I love what Y’all do! 🔥🚗📹🤴🏻&👸🏻💯

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Y'all are doing amazing work. Really enjoying the channel and trying to learn something new. Thank y'all for sharing.

[@lawthom1956]

Always been a big fan. Have you ever checked out Bello’s customs he works a lot with metal Great job Ian and Jamie.

[@Hoittoboes]

Your sound has gotten so much better. Great work.

[@nielsschweigmann]

Love the classic old Roskopp skateboard on the wall too, along with your work!!?!!

[@davidohler5611]

You are sure getting into the metal craftsmanship of the old timers who built cars from scratch. Your efforts are admirable entertaining and you two are pretty groovy folks to hang with. Thanks for hauling us along always on your adventures.

[@fullcustomIan]

Our pleasure!

[@scottcole6129]

Awesome job on the metal forming

[@SaltySteele81]

BZ! Love watching you work and learn a new skill set to improve your fabrication. This and the bug are my favorite projects so far.

[@gregdavis1487]

Ian, take us to class with you and show the lessons as you learn them. This is how we see a genus artist be the creative thinker that you are. Especially learning with everything you do and learning from every "mistake, screw up," or simply something that did not work out is the true measure of genus. Keep on pounding metal, and if at first you don't succeed get a bigger hammer.

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you!

[@dougdickson6849]

I love to watch you work. Jamie is doing a great job with the camera and editing.

[@jackbrown7895]

Thank you Ian and Jamie for providing content in that blazing hot out West.. I watch every video Jamie sends out to the world!!!!😊

[@fullcustomIan]

You are very kind

[@carlphelps4098]

Ditto 😊

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

Ian this caddy is coming along really nice and your Chief editor and video art director is creating stuff I've never seen before

[@mikebordensr5358]

Fantastic work Ian !!👍👍

[@alanhubbard1868]

Amazing work I agree!!!!! Jamie the music is great too!

[@KeithRutledge-t1w]

Happy Sunday Morning to you both ! I hope you know Ian that is mere mortals out here in U tube land are not worthy of watching the Magic you perform for us ! That piece had several shapes that all had to be worked into a small area... Craftsmanship Sir , pure Craftsmanship !!

[@brentbarnes5802]

I agree. I really respect Ian so much Its hard to explain. But if you understand than you know

[@jnorth568]

I also knew you could do it in a style and a way only you can convey 😊

[@scottkrolik4699]

Wow, that is so amazing starting with a flat piece of sheet metal and cutting it and forming it truly amazing on what you can do Ian to learn all the things that you have learned over the years wonderful all the time you spent working with other people and learning that’s what it’s all about. Thanks for a great video and Jamie. Thanks for the wonderful time on the camera. see you on the next one.!

[@chadmote3466]

I made a helmet 20 years back with nose guard and a flared neck, and most of it was formed on a rounded log stuck in a vise. I also thought a ball hitch might make a good ball to work on with ot in a vise as well. Just food for thought.

[@chucksayers5080]

YOU ARE DEFINITELY AN AUTOMOTIVE ARTIST WITH AMAZING TALENT WHO REALLY COULD BUILD AWESOME MACHINE FROM SCRATCH. 😮😊.

[@davidohler5611]

I hear ya - living in Az working in the heat can be a killer. Good to see another video Ian - thanks for what you and your lovely wife do - I sure enjoy watching your adventures.

[@robprather6469]

Jamie is awesome with her camara shots ! The part of filming when Ian puts the slag hammer in the vise , you can see [because she captured the reflection ] the metal coming into shape. a real teaching moment , caught on film by a real professional .

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you! I was really trying to pay attention to where the metal was going to bend and capture it. I believe there will be more English Wheel episodes in the near future. Ian really enjoys working on it. ~. Jamie

[@michaelsulpizio606]

Ian: I have followed your show on TV since motor trend picked you up! I was delighted to find your new show on You tube! As so many of your associates are doing from motor trend. I especially love your show because you show the profession from a grass roots perspective! You show what an artisan can do with the minimum at home without all the extravagant tool systems that are available if you have the money whic most of us don’t have! Like you I collected tooling as I went along in my craft! Over a 54 year period . Episode #14 really shows what a guy or gal can do with minimal tools actually the basics to make a very complicated panel such as that upper triangular panel to finish the top of the right rear fender that meets the right door! I also love the fact that your working with your wife on these projects who is filming the projects and commenting and conversing along with you throughout the projects! My wife and I have been retired 2015-16 I from the Automotive restoration and hot rod , custom , both cars and motorcycles, we have mutual friends in the business, Gene Winfield, and Bruce Gregory. Gene as a mentor , Bruce as a close friend and fellow Technician! Bruce was who first turned me on to you early shows on “motor trend”. I really miss the business! But physically can’t do it anymore! I don’t know how Gene does it but more power to him ! He has been a blessing to many aspiring custom car builders and folks that just do it at home now as a hobby for me! I have my own retirement project at home + all the honey- doos that my wife can come up with! I just wanted to say I love what you do , along with all the folks that are out here watching the videos you and your wife produce! Keep up the good work! 👍🇺🇸🦡🇺🇸………

[@dawayneduffy3509]

I've been watching you for years now. This is one of your best videos yet. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[@davefenton102]

Im really loving the music selection in the videos, it has been a great mix of good tunes. I liked the drums when Ian was beating it over the dolly.

[@brokenbackunlimited2187]

I'm impressed. And I learned a lot. I have many tools that I made myself especially hammers! Great job.👍👍👍

[@lottiecooper609]

We never know what we can accomplish until we apply ourselves. I thought you were going to make those pieces out of wood so you would have a mould, and then be able to make them out of fiberglass. Either way it's done Ian does not accept failure!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@jerrydespaltro4023]

I think that crease you were looking for would have been best achieved using a tipping die in the bead roller. None the less, beautiful work. I'm always looking forward to the next video! Jamie, your video have improved in leaps and bounds. It's second to none!

[@eziotaddeo1726]

Another gr8 lesson with the master, Ian fantastic, gr8 questions Jaimee(on our behalf) music was gr8 in back round, awesome ep, wow

[@davidohler5611]

As I’m watching I have to commend you because you still seem to have fun and enjoy the adventure - good on ya - My Dad would advise me not to take life or myself too seriously - not always easy but glad to see you put some enjoyment into what you do. Cool for us folks out here too

[@sektiesolcrew5146]

What a great episode. Great to see you learning and gathering skills while just doing it.

[@jeeptrucklover72]

Wow! The look on your face when the piece went right into place was priceless! I don’t do bodywork anymore but I did it for 40 years and I never stopped learning. Watching you work your magic is refreshing even if you’re just learning new things like now. Keep up the great work and we’ll continue to cheer you on!

[@Just_me1776]

Awesome! If I ever managed to make that part, I’d be worried about making the mirror duplicate for the other side 😅😅

[@AceMcgee-q9f]

Metal God! You two rock. great video. Peace Love Ace out

[@mikeschauger5498]

very good, I wished I was a little younger to make it worthwhile to atempt to learn these skills, I'm totally mesmerized 👍

[@SilverBack.]

*WOW* Ian the transition piece you made looks like part of a Spanish Conquistador breast plate, *Amazing work*

[@RobbGrove]

Love it when you use old surf music.

[@fullcustomIan]

Next vid 😎😎

[@williamjohn1815]

You have metal in your blood Ian great hand work , shaping and English wheel .

[@FlorencioRivera-ei6ms]

No matter what you always come through, I enjoy to watch the process and progress.

[@johnkennedy8452]

Love your style and your work, so many cool projects from your mind. Stay safe and keep hydrated and healthy

[@jnorth568]

Yeah when it comes to body work I'm like a little infant😮scared and timid😢 but watching you and hearing the way you articulate what it is you're doing with your work has helped in the learning process❤❤❤

[@stevetravels6160]

Thanks for sharing your time with us. It is great to be able to learn metal shaping along side of you.

[@stevefarrar715]

Eureka Man you did it !!! there's power in knowledge thanks for the class lesson really enjoy it

[@ronjenkins8529]

Remarkable, Ian! Thanks for taking a risk by showing something you weren't sure you would pull off. Watching you think your way through it is so engaging. Of course, you picked possibly the most complex set of compouund curves that are on that car. And you did it! Really, really great. -- I felt like even Jamie started getting quite for the last 1/3 or so; probably feeling amazed by the same realization as the rest of us, "holy shit, he's doing it!"

[@renash1815]

Wow! I've said you are good, but man, YOU ARE GREAT! Love everything you guys do. Keep up that great work.

[@mikeguthrie5432]

I'm going to say "what a metal working genius!" Plus, you seem to have the patience of "Job"! Great work Sir! Keep us posted.

[@steveham803]

I’m totally amazed by how you moved that metal around! I learned so much. Thank you.

[@JohnSmith-vc4yg]

Facinating, nice work

[@ashleydubbeld9236]

AMAZING I was wondering how flat piece metal and make this look so good this going have million dollar look 💰👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JohnnyJalopyArt]

wow!!!!!! that was super kool! seeing Ian figure it out and not quit! kick ass!

[@jamesrankin9833]

Unfrickingbelieveable!! Watched that form right before my very eyes!! Amazing! You better go right for the other side while your juices are flowing and shucking-n- jiving! Good stuff!

[@paulcarter7061]

Job well done, I had all faith in you ✔️👍👽😎🇦🇺

[@johngiaquinto8705]

Watching you shape that metal was so satisfying to see great job my friend

[@donlandenberg8126]

Now we're talking! Glad to see you doing it by hand. Best video ever. Thanks for sharing with us today.

[@davidbohner692]

Thanks!

[@billweston6579]

You’re journey with the English wheel is fascinating. Keep up the good work.

[@jefferynugent]

What a FANTASTIC JOB....

[@laurensmith1828]

Another great show thank you guys! I got a wheel months ago and havent really done much with it. This was very imspiring!

[@jnorth568]

The man that taught me the little bit of Bodywork that I do know instilled in me one very important thing to remember when working metal... I do have to say this was in regards to accident repair what metal is metal and what he told me was do you always have to work it back to where it started from, meaning you have to undo the damage in the opposite order that it happened... at least your house of cards is moving in slow motion so you can see where the flaws start to happen😊

[@shake-the-earth1]

Ian, very nice job. You know some people use a nice tall round log and dish out the end like a bowl to shape metal. That way you are not metal on metal. The shiner you make your metal tools the shiner your piece will be when worked. Thanks for the video Jamie.

[@jimmyjam813]

This was the best metal forming video Ive ever seen bar none. Nice job ! I feel like I learned as much as you did just watching. Thanks !

[@songsmithy07]

Ian, you're a really good explainer, which makes you a good teacher. It was always a mystery to me what was going on beneath the metal, like forming that tool to hammer in the shape. So great!

[@selbord1]

Ian, I feel so selfish when your show comes to the end of an episode, the first thing that enters my mind is now I have to wait I check daily just in case you guys drop something, anything so yes I’m that ignorant fool, spoiled when watching greatness, I just can’t get enough, even with the world at my fingertips See what I mean I had to wait for your seasons to drop now, and now 1 to 3 shows a week I still look forward to every episode. Thank you Jamie I know this would not be possible without your foresight like your man said sometimes greatness needs to be believed in. God Bless you guys.

[@KentFjeld]

Wow that was great to Ian get excited as he was learning, while teach us :) you guys are getting better all the time . Best show Ive seen in a long time and getting better every time ... thank you ..

[@kirstenspencer3630]

Thank you both for the considerable efforts it takes to produce your videos. Stay relatively cool all.

[@brentbarnes5802]

My morning coffee and Ian & Jamie. It's great ☕

[@fullcustomIan]

Happy Sunday!

[@erneststone5229]

Absolutely cool to see you work the metal into shape, just envision the shape you want to create and use the forming tools to bend it to your will! Impressive!

[@davidcolantuoni9165]

Hockey pucks work good for small corners, and can be ground out with a flap weel convex or concave as needed. Also a tow ball is a great tool.

[@donbell8187]

The polish on the dolly is what will imprint on the metal. The smoother the finish the better! A Scotchbrite wheel on a bench grinder works great.

[@johnnyrotten3175]

Jamie, Asking great questions allows Ian to pass on his knowledge. Great job! You could even have Ian answer questions that are posted. Learning about The Tools, and their history, is enlightening, and is where lan really shines. Ian, Love your Flair. 👏 Keep up the great work mann ‼️

[@chadcoffman1870]

Thank you so much for not cutting out the parts were you make mistakes. We all make them as humans this is how we learn.

[@fullcustomIan]

We all make them!

[@keithwallington4966]

it will come to you and the more you do the better it gets im still learning at 70 i like to watch halfass custom and make it custom on ytube

[@johncornell5136]

I'm happy to see you are learning along with the rest of us.

[@dougbutterfield1739]

Dear Guys, I really enjoyed watching you learn, Ian one of the things I thought of was to remember= it's just a piece of metal and there is a bunch more out there. I build custom Obsidian knives and over time I lose blades by breakage and it's part of the learning process. One heck a start for Ian. Jamie= Great music, perfect fit for this video.

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you 🙏

[@CommodoreDudley]

I’m lovin’ Jamie’s music selections.

[@cjnavyblue]

Master metal fabricator Ian.

[@barrysprague8889]

You guys are pros!!!...Ian is fearless and he is an entertaining commentator is such a calming voice in the face of certain disaster!..and Jaime has skills beyond her own belief....i love the groovy music she inserts into tedious time periods of hammering and English wheel...

[@caseyspirit9385]

U can build anything u put your mind too. Mainly it is weather u have enough tools to do it in a timely manner…. Love seeing u work

[@DrBenIngle]

Loving the end product always great to see Ian learn new ways to fabricate

[@jameswaite6496]

Beautiful, Awesome!

[@AntiqueAutoSmith]

Freestyle forming at it's best. Thanks for sharing!
