Hi Marty, Ive been doing autobody for 12 years now and the guys in that game don't really push the boundaries when it comes to new techniques for getting the job done, just bash and bog (bondo) as we say in Australia. I watch pdr videos regularly (particularly yours) to improve my repairs and make my life easier. Its so fascinating how you do it and i can move metal much better just from videos and trial and error at work. Thank you for your time and effort with your videos its making me a better tradesman

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos to keep an old school tradition going. The amount of education that an individual can walk away with is priceless. Quality work is almost non existent these days because its all about the dollar and not the time it takes to do it right. I worked for a printing co for 28 years and the motto there was "Slow and right is always better than fast and shitty" Im semi retired now and I am not a PDR tech but watching your videos has really made me want to do this sort of work. I am what most folks would consider a perfectionist and I believe this would be a very rewarding business to get into. Thanks again for all the videos I appreciate it very much.

Hey everyone. I'm not trying to put nice looking tools down. I'm saying they don't really increase your skill level, and they can actually get in the way of making you a better tech because if you believe a tool will give you more skill, then your depending on a tool and not LEARNING and PRACTICING which REALLY WILL give you the skills. So buy all the fancy tools you want... I have many. But don't buy them until you have developed your skill level. Don't fall into the trap of thinking they alone will give you skills because they DON"T! All a tool can do is increase your efficiency. You alone can give yourself the skill!

Thanks a lot Marty yeah that was too helpful I discovered that I am using my slapper in wrong way Please keep on teaching us those techniques... yesterday I tried your lesson on using hammer and dolly on a bodyline and it worked like magic, I picked up 90% of the dent very very cleanly by doing so and just picked up the center with my rod Thanks a lot for those valuable tips Next demo we would like you to guide us through oil can dents when half of the dent is under a brace 🙏

You are a super teacher! You have the most visual lessons! And you did not think to release a training video course? I would organize a translation into my native language, and sales (if it is interesting to you). If you are not interested in this, can I ask you to allow the translation of your videos into my native language and free distribution "as is"?
@TopGunPDRTraining5 жыл бұрын
I may release an advanced PDR video subscription course in the future, but not a beginning PDR course as that would only add to the problem of techs trying to learn by video. As I mention in my "Is PDR for You training video" ... "Learning PDR from the beginning is the worst way to learn the trade as your guaranteed to pick up a huge amount of bad habits that will hurt you big time." I would never add to the problem by making these kind of videos. The videos I'm making are for functioning techs that are trying to improve their skill level.

Did you bevel the edges of that hammer or buy it that way? I purchased one and it seems to be just a fraction of a degree concave, and has very pronounced edges. I have made some small crescent moon shapes in the paint of my practice panels. Should I file the edge a bit?

Hi Jason. I almost always reface any hammer I buy. 'll be doing a video on how to do this. If your hammer is flat or slightly concave it isn't right for PDR
