Freekin' brilliant!

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you. It’s a great tool

[@MaxPower_Designs]

Your video just popped up on my home page feed and I’m glad it did! Pretty slick tool! Subscribed!

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you

[@animal_engineering]

Thats cool as, think I'll join the que and make one as well. cheers for showing us.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

That’s all good I thought it would be good to share.

I have a similar situation where I welded some metal on a curved area where the windshield attaches to fix some rust, however it didn't have the curve I needed. However it was over 4 feet long and weighed 20lbs and welded to the car. This would come in handy. Funny enough I have the same style kick shrinker/stretcher so I could make this easily.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Definitely make a set it will come in handy

[@SkaterStimm]

@@Resurrected_metalshaping I will, I will take a pic tomorrow when I am done making it.

[@craigwilson5631]

Wow ! such a great idea, thanks for that, keep them coming, tools are cool

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you

[@ericcrawford326]

I need to build one of those. Perfect for tweaking panels in on the car.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

I think it would be great for tweaking stuff

Thanks for sharing this build. This one is going on the wall too. Got any hand held planishing hammer build ideas?

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you. I do have a few ideas on a planishing hammer.

[@normancurd8719]

Great idea!

[@shanemulligan791]

Love it. Will have to knock one up too.

[@ODGColornChrome]

Awesome idea! I will be making one of these!

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you. Definitely do it they are handy

[@tedbauer7380]

Thanks for showing how this was made. Could you make a short video on making the door handle indentation on your door skin video please?

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you. Next time I do a similar job I’ll add a bit extra in for door handle

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Awesome! Bro your subs shot up quick !

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thanks. Yeah they shot up quick. I’m glad you guys are enjoying the videos.

[@65cj55]

You could hold it in the vise if needed as well.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Great idea

[@shinemine6135]

Awesome video this is a great idea. How much do you think this would cost in parts.?

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

With buying a set of shrink jaws I’d say about $200

[@billsimpson2392]

Hello. Do you know if you can you buy those jaws on their own? (In Australia!)

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

You can buy the jaws on there own from hare and forbs they have a few options.

[@billsimpson2392]

Where did you get the dies from friend and what did they cost

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

I had a spare set in the shop. Hare and forbs have the dies for $88

[@julianlloyd4743]

Did you get this idea from metal shaper Tom? Looks identical

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

@@julianlloyd4743 I got the idea from old mate sawyer. I did see metal shaper Tom’s one a while after I made this and it’s defo similar

[@Metal_shaper_tom]

handy tool!

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Super handy man

[@tonyv1952]

Where can I get the dies?

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

If you look for shrinking and stretching jaws online you should find some.

[@garysgarage.2841]

This could come in clutch in some situations but no way it's easy or cheap to build let's be honest here. I could build this but I have a shop and equipment those things don't come cheap if you add up all the tools and equipment you used to build this it's extremely expensive and takes skills to get the job done.
