@user-fu1bh3dt2cАй бұрын
Tony, Don't change a thing about your videos! Each one is a lesson in body work that teaches us something we did not know before. I don't know, maybe I am deluding myself but I have some old iron that I hope to restore (not customize) one day. Doing so is going to involve a lot of metal replacement (rust, damage) and what I am learning here will be a great help. I thank you now and will thank you again when I get to my projects! There's other tubers who do jaw dropping things with a sheet of steel, but they use equipment that I will never see never mind own. Your techniques are sensible to the everyday guy, who sees what you do and says, "You know, with a lot of practice I think I could do that!" In fact if I had to gripe about something, it would be that I suspect you make things look too easy. But no matter, we watchers come away wiser than we were before.

A few years ago, I started doing rust repair on a 64 Chevy van and I was stumbling along with butt welding small patches. I figured nobody would see it and the end result was going to be better than NOT doing the repair. Fast forward to watching a few of Tony's videos, and I was basically doing EXACTLY what we see here. Had I only known this was on YT I could have saved a ton on the learning curve. BTW, I had a shop at my disposal, but limited tools, such as a MIG welder, plasma cutter, torches. (yeah, fancy but not mine) The rest was basic hand tools and a large bench vice. I did some of my bending with angle iron as the form in an arbor press. Other bending was with a hammer in a vice. I also had a small supply of used cabinet metal (doors) that was factory bent and I salvaged as necessary.

Hey Tony, every time I watch it reinforces the "tips" you've been kind enough to pass along. Using the "cut &butt" myself I enjoy watching and anticipating how the metal will pull with the welding. On my 65 F350 I've got the rust cut out and new steel welded in. Even did one complete door bottom. I could hear you in my head, " don't over think it!" Turned out pretty darn good! Thanks for all the lessons!😊

Definitely NOT too long. You have the best channel because it contains NO time lapse! ❤❤❤ Now that I’ve completed the major rust repairs on my project I can enjoy sitting back and saying: “I’ve done that!” ☺️ CutNButt for the win! ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇦
@lcar9871Ай бұрын
This might be your most comprehensive Cut-n-Butt video to date. You covered how to weld into corners, how to anticipate metal movement, how and why to let that long "tail" find it's own way, and so many other things. There's even a camera angle, at around 49:09, that shows why your angled Cut-N-Butt works - you make the cut, then push down and the two pieces come together beautifully! A very well done video, Fitzee!

Regarding the length, personally the detail of showing the whole job demonstrates the work and attention required. For those who want to skip, there is a fast forward feature or play at faster speed. I think the greater detail show the price ( time, effort, skill) required. I’m looking forward to seeing the other side and see if the end moves the same amount. It was interesting to watch it move. Keep it up!!!
