How-To TIG BUTT Weld Sheet Metal Restoration Panels 1932 Ford Split Grill On Model A Roadster

[@koolkar55]

Love ya work Karl. Thanks for being such a great teacher. Amazing skill & talent displayed in all of your videos. Thanks for helping Brent. Both of you guys are awesome. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Billy! Cheers !

[@matthoward923]

I’ve watched you and others build these custom cars and all the work that goes into them. And when they’re done the average person can’t see or understand a thing you’ve done. Just amazing

[@ingeniousmechanic]

Not gonna lie, sometimes the things you do seem like they're a little excessive, ...but the result, man, the results are just amazing, and built to be right and last a long time. Impressed every time!

[@2nickles647]

Thank you for the lesson. I'm 69 ole guy. I'm always learning. The next thing I want to learn is TIG welding. I just need to get a small bottle first. So I can learn.

[@fred7854]

Hey Karl, You make everything look easy. It's cool how you stop in between breaks and explain what you did and why. When you start your classes, your pupils couldn't have a better teacher. If I was a young man again, I would be in your class. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.

[@allengose5438]

Karl there are people that are " Master Craftsmans" and there are people that are "Next Level" there are people that are "genius level" you sir are a Michaelangelo of Artistic Level Genius

[@That70sChannel]

Great tutorial. I am loving the continuity of this grill with the split windscreen. I am looking forward to seeing what you and Brent get up to with fixing or building his equipment.

[@MakeItKustom]

I’m sitting at the airport right now! Lol im excited

[@dfusit]

Looking forward to the collaboration with Brent.

[@shanehack871]

I've just bought my first tig welder so i'm keen to use your tutorial, as i've never tried doing it. And it was you who've inspired my purchase.

[@stevewilliams2498]

It amazes me how much more you have to put in to move up a notch from Brent. So much time, effort and finesse to go from a result to fine art. PS I love Brent and his get things done attitude.

[@brycechessum4684]

Nice welding Karl, a panel repair industry guy told me one test they got at tech was they get a sawn in half car door and you make the other half and fusion weld it together with oxy acetylene torch no filler rod to be used

[@martinmessersmith2900]

You are an amazing "Instructor"! You explain everything so well - some of it repetitive but only on things worth saying multiple times.

[@richardsink9198]

Ever since Brent mentioned the name Karl (in one of his videos). I knew it would be you going to visit him. This is Gonna be Good! I can hardly wait to see what you two have for us. Brent and Esther are wonderful people.

[@joecioe8566]

Great work. Thanks for the tips.

[@DanHancock-e7o]

Great TIG welding video thank you Karl for the information on how you do it.

[@davidoliver2826]

You sir are a true craftsman and I have learned tons from watching and listening to you. Who said an old dog (60 yr) can’t learn new tricks? Thanks Karl for sharing your journey!

[@nathanmanners7862]

Halfass Kustoms, DD speed shop and Make it Kustom mind blown 🤯 Cant wait

[@vernonjames2951]

Just a tip.. Ive been using an led headlight behind the steel to emphasize the gap between the panels when butting them up, it works really well.. Great channel as usual Carl,keep it up.. Vern..

[@bscoffeeandwelding7236]

Glad you are back to a shorter video, some of those longer movie length ones I had to break into pieces love your work

[@garyyorke1080]

Everytime I watch you I'm always amazed at how much knowledge you give out to make it so we all understand why you're doing it how you do . Quick peek looked great see ya in the next vid. Can't wait to see more . Thanks Karl

[@ossimio]

fantastic work very well explained looking forward to your next video thankyou

[@Spycontroll]

We got today again a perfect demonstration about sheet metal work and Tig welding technique. Thank you very much! Greetings from Hungary :-)

[@charlietabone6162]

Job well done excellent teaching well explained thank you

[@waynecreech]

Thanks Karl, I love these videos...

[@gapporama]

Great explanation of this process. Thank you.

[@javman03]

Love it when I see a Make It Kustom notification on my phone!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

Great video i don't do any mig or tig welding just a mechanic but find what you do so interesting and you are such a good teacher what i do wonder is what the cost of doing something like this grill would be. i know would have to be expensive i have seen a small amount of how much time it takes. was so bad about Brent but am so glad he is getting back to work seems to help everyone he can glad to see he is getting help

[@brentfellers9632]

Learning so much watching your videos

[@jamieyz]

I’m working on my first rat rod. These little pointers are always fun to take to the shop to improve my work.

[@richardgreening3533]

Awesome work again Karl , great video content.

[@markthomas9604]

Man you have a ton of patience. Fantastic work. Thanks for the videos.

[@2509498788]

Definitely kustom that's for sure,, halfass sent me over

[@LeonStOnge]

[@dougwernham5209]

Excellent video very helpful thanks Karl.

[@MrAutoimagination]

I always enjoy and appreciate your videos. So clear and concise. Please continue to post more. Nick Butler, Auto Imagination.

[@UnconventionalMetal]

The compound curves you’ve got going on at the topside is just beautiful 👌

[@bespokecoachworks8919]

love how consistently you spoke about consistency. love it brother keep it up.

[@MakeItKustom]

Hahaha 😝 you know it better than most ! Loving the videos man keep ‘em Comings!!!!!

[@jman6030]

Lookin good man!Another colab' with Brent..cool🇨🇦

[@gregorycritch4329]

love watching, you should try the Norton Orange Blaze stripping disk, last way longer then the 3M. I agree that the Cubitron is a great sanding disk

[@averageschmo963]

Unbelievable skill!!!! Amazing

[@christianbaraldi2137]

How do you not burn through... I´m learning and avoiding burning through is so difficult. Like you said; consistency and settings. If it was easy everybody would be a professional welder. Beatiful job.

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Thank you Karl. Awesome!!

[@123gonow]

Would be good of 3M to get behind this young man, hell it would be good for them both ! Always learning here Karl thanks so much for all the lessons !

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Karl awesome job. Hopefully you like that. It turned out very well there. Great job as always. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.

[@jaimesan2609]

Karl, your skills and artistry never cease to amaze me.

[@daleking8529]

Amazing talent!! Grille is killer!

[@waynespiteri122]

You are so detailed Karl. I’m enjoying your work, great work, keep it up, looking forward to you finishing the grill shell.

[@fixinstuff9662]

This makes me happy.

[@steveredman6083]

I want to go out and buy a tig machine after watching this. Awesome job..

[@iancook7315]

That looks so awesome ... can't wait for it to be completed

[@theDerelictCrypt]

Gotta say man im incredibly impressed by your work. Wanted to say youve inspired me to start changing careers to something im more inspired by. Thanks for the hard work

[@Macbetula-yl8wq]

Looks great, excellent job. Happy Canada Day.🇨🇦🍺

[@Nocabishanienty75]

Great tips again japhands 😎👌🏼

[@PiefacePete46]

I always come away from your videos smiling... and I don't even know why? 🥴 Many thanks... keep it up! 👍

[@jeremyhanna3852]

I like to put my fusion tack on the front like you did then put my thicker filler metal tracks on the back (if I can ) then when I run across the front the tacks aren't miss up my rhythm goes a little smoother for me

[@CJLeTeff]

Awesome as always! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍

[@TBS_Machine]

Great explanations ! Thanks

[@morgansword]

The shrinking stump would make a nice gift for anyone.

[@tomcoryell]

Karl! You Rock buddy!

[@johnjewell219]

Great as usual Karl 👍😎

[@normanshepard5914]

[@peterouellette3874]

Nice going, Karl

[@torstenkaus3559]

simply amazing - you are are really a (metal) master ..

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Those disks you call cookie wheels are also excellent for removing gaskets and glue on engine parts that are sealing surfaces

[@williamhinton5906]

Your video editor is amazing! I love your videos.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks 😊 that’s ME! Lol

[@saaskwatch5537]

Amazing explanation!

[@dodgeyaussie]

[@georgemadrigal7909]

Always amazing work!

[@facopspec5386]

Another awesome and informative video! Looking forward to seeing the next. Appreciate your time and effort braddah Karl! Aloha🤙🏼

[@erictaunton2183]

Nice job Carl love watching your videos keep up the fantastic work 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@avmech2126]

Once again, great vid Karl 👍 Truly an artist with metal

[@darylthexton2287]

How awesome!! Looks amazing!!

[@bobbycole5597]

Like your work. Us old guys hammer welded we worked the weld not the metal. Pre tig just gas welder. I've a mig and tig. But just fall back on what I was taught. We're not building the space shuttle. Just don't to use filler. Weather it be lead or bondo. Your teaching skills are very good. You don't grind welds you cut them ... metal have feelings too😢

[@johnkranz4004]

Looking really good Karl Nice Work

[@midnighttutor]

Nice explanation! Would greatly appreciate your thoughts on why you are using a furick 12 versus a furick 10 or for that matter a conventional #6 cup...obviously with a gas lens in all cases.... Thank you.

[@kirkoglesby6175]

Sick metal work, Karl. Looks amazing.

[@mattlee007]

Another great one Karl cheers ... i'm working on a 66 beetle and learning as i go ... what would you do if you can't get behind with a dolly ... what would you do then please

[@marciabaldwin2506]

Absolutely brilliant love your work and videos Karl great teaching skills the same as with Wrays and Brent also fitzes fabrication ❤

[@warrencole2974]

Amazing skills matey

[@monadking2761]

Great work and Happy Canada day.

[@daos3300]

very nice. interestingly, my experience of mig is that having a tight gap/no gap pretty much guarantees distortion. mig tacks shrink a lot, touching edges have nowhere to go and end up overlapping/distorting. planishing mig tacks is horrible. all of this is compounded when you are welding in situ on a car and have poor/no access to the back of the panel.

[@Vangabonders]

I've learned so much from you. Thank you for these videos!

[@williammccormack6295]

Your fabrication skills are brilliant Bill Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@PaulAsselstine]

Very detailed video.....

[@tomthumb3085]

Hi Karl, I absolutely agree with you on the use of 3M products. If you’re doing a job and need materials and 3M make them, it’s a no brainer to use their product. They outlive other products, guarantee the performance and make the job faster. Ok, they’re not the cheapest you can buy but they will save you a lot of money in the long run. I’m not sponsored by them at all and have no links to their company, but when the products are this good, why not use them

[@bobo_ceesay]

Really curious on what you think of the new handheld arc welder ?

[@danamcintyre3565]

I think consistency is key with gap no matter what type welding your doing ? Now a question when welding, how do you fill about welding say a weld being more than three feet in length should you weld the hole weld or what if you were to stop say something come up and you was away for say forty five minutes to an hour before finishing your weld would you check when done for a difference in for a warp ?

[@Group-Five-Industries]

You are a great instructor and craftsman! I cant wait to attend the Karl school of metal shaping in person. (you should)

[@bdpgarage]

Really great demo. Learned a lot.

[@OGTtom]

Great job

[@franksgarage8551]

Sharpie is an awesome tip! I have used liquid whiteout for years. I have had that shrink bite me a few times while mig welding long panels. Was curious what gauge of sheet metal, you answered that right at the get go. 18g. Heat affected zone was a term used in some reference books if i recall correctly.

[@michaelhallas6450]

Nice Work

[@dukesgarage]

Another awesome video! I only wish you would have shown the backside of the welds, just to help understand penetration. Thanks a million, Karl!

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Enjoyed your show brotha,love that 32 ford grill and Deval windshield.

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

Hay Carl why dont you use pulse Tig? A great craftsmen love your work always look forward to your posts.

[@whatmakesyourday]

Oh that’s beautiful.

[@williamenglish4398]

Great work, love watching your stuff, hope you enjoyed your time in Aus! when will you be putting up more on the Baby Bewick? Lloyd Innisfail QLD Australia.

[@FreddyFunderbunz]

I like getting good tacks with stainless wire and filling in the gaps with silicone bronze because of its low melting point. Keeps some of the heat out of the panel. I wouldn’t use silicon bronze on anything structural obviously, but something cosmetic like a grill, all day

[@theoriginalDirtybill]

Karl, would using a lay wire vs. dipping the filler wire be faster in this application?

[@dinadaughtry8993]

you sir have some serious mad skills, I would have to search a 200 Mile radius to find someone who has half the knowledge and skill as you
