It's just magic how those dents disappear in your hands. Perfection!

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

Kudos to Ms. K. for her wonderful photography. Every image clear, in focus and in-frame. She captured the Dents magically disappear(with a little help from Wes of course). These videos would not be as satisfying without her great camera work!

[@wickedcabinboy]

@eezyclsmooth9035 - Definitely a team effort that yields excellent results. Watching those dents disappear was magical. His skills are remarkable. Definitely looking forward to the remaining videos in this series.

The dents just jumped right out in the hands of a master with self made tools! Great camera work Ms K!

[@brucematthews6417]

It's always a pleasure to see someone with the right tools matched to the right touch doing such fine work. And I like that the right touch extends to making the tools that match how you like to work so perfectly.

[@guataco]

The dents dissapear in front of our eyes. Respect to both of you. Good filming.

[@lotsabirds]

That is artistry, Wes! I love those old horns!

[@ablelock]

Look forward to all of the different things that you’re doing with the horn. I’m a LOCKSMITH by trade but I work with brass as well and it’s quite exciting when you’re able to refurbish something or fix things back there’s been many of times and I’ve refurbished old locks, doorhandles, etc. to make the customer happy and that just feels good when you working in the trades. 😊

[@richardhole8429]

You make it look so easy. I know better. Years of experience give the illusion of easy work.

[@georgesaunders6362]

Ms. K did a fantastic job with the camera. I could see the dents just disappear as you worked the metal. Great Job

[@incy55]

your intros are getting better and Miss kay is getting very good with the camera work. Of course your abilities with the brass is great. TY for spending time to show us what you do.

[@ydonl]

Wow. Shop-made tools, plenty of skill and experience, and patience, giving some awesome, precision work. I really enjoyed this one; it's encouraging to see it done.

[@mrsock3380]

That was some of the best filming of dent work you two have ever done, too often I have missed it because with the camera moving around to get better shots it's hard to know where the dent ball is, I'm sure it's also hard for Mrs K to follow while looking at the camera screen, you pointing out where you're working is great for everyone, thanks.

[@Eupher72120]

Nosepicker -- that term is brilliant!

[@ms-mac521]

👍👍👍 In the past, soda cans used to be stronger too. 😉 as always, tremendous work !

[@JasonFaul]

Mr. Wes, I am really enjoying this series. That horn is beautiful. I hope Mr. Collier enjoys his treasure.

[@kalyan26rus13]

Вы просто волшебник 👍

[@ddistrbd1]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching part 2, can't wait for the next episode.

[@tandr3w]

When does part 3 come out?

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

From a spectator's viewpoint, the the nosepicker appears to work as if by magic; like Christine repairing herself.

[@David-mz3or]

Amazing dent removal 👍🏻

[@terrydoberstein6742]

Would be nice to hear this horn played when finished. Also love seeing the dents leave as You work them out.

[@SkylerinAmarillo]

It look like quite an art. Thanks for sharing with us. My sister did this for a living, went to a school at West Iowa Tech (I think that's the name). I never realized how much there was to it.

[@57Banjoman]

Always interesting-thanks!

[@davidlj53]

Amazing work!

[@alfabsc]

So the thermoplastic form helps you shape the bell without thinning the metal. Almost like pitch does for repousse. Another reason to keep that thermoplastic stuff around. Art and science combined. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@jackhans4510]

Master at work. Great stuff. Thank you for sharing.

[@phooesnax]

Looks great!

[@WilliamSupples]

i could watch this for hours

[@ivorwm2291]

Wow!

[@jetsetsc]

Great to see the DIY tools you use. Any particular grade of steel rod for these? Plain or hardened?

[@dgomez7761]

Awesome job! I recently had some cleaning & dent repair on my trumpet. Looks great but one of my valves continues to stick and only when played. Any suggestions on how to best fix this valve? Thank you

[@HappyJ]

We used to say at King Musical, "Slicker than snot on a doorknob".

[@ernestoborrego5102]

Nice!

[@OlmanPiedra]

magic

[@kerrystricker6962]

Now for a potentially foolish question, the dents certainly look bad, but do they affect the sound of the instrument?

[@wickedcabinboy]

@kerrystricker6962 - Can't say. But they certainly do effect the appearance.

[@dougberrett8094]

Do you make your tools out of "drill rod?" Do you harden it?

[@ShainAndrews]

You're over thinking it. He does not need tool steel.

[@deejackson5930]

Great camera work!

[@hijmestoffels5171]

I wouldn’t pick my nose with that tool!

[@wickedcabinboy]

@hijmestoffels5171 - Not more than once, anyway.

[@bomaite1]

My friend always says "slicker than snot on a doorknob."

[@mikerichards6311]

🤓👍👏🏻🙏

[@dougberrett8094]

Maybe, maybe not. I just know I get a much better finish using drill rod.

[@golfprochen]

Magic!
