How to Use the Hammer and Dolly: The Basic Tools of Metal Finishing

[@brianbrewster6532]

I must commend you for being like the only guy to SHOW these oddball tools in use. Every other video showcased the tools, explained their specialty use but weren't demonstrated. I learned a lot watching this. Thank you very much.

Thank you for posting this video. I bought a dolly set from HF but have no experience. The hammering direct and expanding metal to create oil can effect is something I've already learned the hard way. I never thought about the "hammer off" method and this is why your instructions are so appreciated!

I'm glad it helped. Yes - nothing fun about oil canning. You're welcome BTW and have a great weekend :)

Don't feel too bad; my first attempt at doing dent removal with a fresh cheap set of hammers and dollies had me oil can the hell out of an aluminum hood. It was already borderline scrap, but lessons were learned for sure.

This video deserves to be watched more than once. Your technique with the hammer is notable. You use several small taps with the hammer instead of a few large blows. I also noticed that you occasionally choke up on the hammer handle and use your index finger to direct the hammer. Thank you so much for a well produced video.

I was wondering about if you have to Anneal the metal on older vehicles? I noticed you tapped and did not hammer. I have an old truck I bought and the door is caved in. I can’t find another door so I was thinking about how I would get the big dent out. I learned metal working in jewelry. My last project was a Jamaican steel drum. I had to anneal the metal and put a bowling ball into a Gunny sack. Then gently began the process of caving in the steel drum. Then a used hammers to pop back the area’s for the sound. I got an “A” in my course. That was back in the day without internet.

[@LakesideAutobody]

You don't have to anneal the metal. Are you Belgium? My grandparents were straight from Belgium - both of them came over after WWII :)

[@markhamze154]

I bought a pdr kit from e bay that has an air bag in it. I just. I just put a flat piece of metal on the outer skin side. Then i put the air bag in and inflate and i hit all the tension points and high spot in and the dents slowly disappear!

Thanks Dave - have a good 🦃🏈😊

[@edmondpower5722]

Good work there with the hammer and dolly, I think it's harder to do that type of work on modern cars because of the metal that is used nowadays and metal finishing is questionable also because filing the metal makes it thinner

[@LakesideAutobody]

Here's a bit of info relating to what you said: “Many newer panels are too thin to hammer straight when they are seriously deformed. Traditional metal finishing techniques are out of the question because files tend to skate over their high carbon metal or, if they do cut, they weaken the panels grievously or cut right through them. Even disk sanding them can be a hair-raising experience if you are not super careful.” Source: OLD CARS WEEKLYJAN 25, 2019 www.oldcarsweekly.com/news/sheet-metal-basics

[@edmondpower5722]

Thank you for your reply, once again I've learnt something useful.

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Hammer on. Hammer off. I didnt really understand that before. although I actually own some of these tools and have used them. Great tutorial. So how long did it take you to get it that close.??? Very good video 👍👍👍

[@LakesideAutobody]

Really about the length of the video - not a lot of magic or mystery with the hammer and dolly - just a hammer and anvil - nice hearing from you as always :)

[@jonlobello7151]

Which hammer do you prefer? I se you use both the "pick" and "chisel" hammer a lot for beating down welds.

[@LakesideAutobody]

I usually go for the "pick". There are times the chisel comes in handy - like if you have to knock down a ridge. It's good to have both. If all you can get is one though I'd get the pick.

[@jonlobello7151]

Thanks.

[@zekebowling9850]

Thank you so much for the great video! Easily earned a new subscriber! I’m about to order a hammer and dolly set to do some work on an old truck I got, are there any brands that you would recommend? Or does that exactly matter when it comes to these tools?

[@LakesideAutobody]

It does matter when it comes to these tools. Like comparing the old China made sockets to Snap-On. A good quality company that sells these tools is Martin Tools - www.tptools.com/Martin-Body-Hammers-Dollies-and-Kits.html The only thing you need really is Martin Tools 158G and the Martin Tools heel dolly - you'll love them both :

[@Revan_the3rd]

What is the other side of the hammer used for? The sharp end? Great video though.

[@LakesideAutobody]

The sharp side is for knocking down high spots - any size really. You'll always have a few small high areas that can be tapped down with that before filler is applied :)

[@lschneider6109]

How do you address similar damage to double wall panels? Welds and pogo stick?

[@LakesideAutobody]

Yes and that is exactly why many dents and damage can't be metal finished. When you can't access the back you can use a stud welder for small stuff or weld shims or sheet sheet metal and pull from the outside similar to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5Pag2qMmMifnqM

You do hammer on dolly before you do off dolly? Or it doesn't matter what one you do 1st?

[@LakesideAutobody]

It doesn't matter. What ever you need to do with it. Like straightening a nail - sometimes you put the nail on the floor and hit the high spot (hammer on). Sometimes you put it in the vise (hammer off) and hit the end. Good ? - have a good weekend :)

[@LakesideAutobody]

[@philh9238]

It’s not oil canning. I got it fixed but I did use your other video on my moms Honda

[@hddm3]

You ever do any pdr? I am intrigued by it

[@LakesideAutobody]

It's very rare that a car is damaged w/o markings on the paint or serious creases that can't be PDR'd. You have to have a very "nice" dent to remove it with PDR - not usually the case in the real world. No disrespect - just being honest as I try to look out for folks that really want to learn auto body repair. I will look into it and do a video on PDR though soon - if I come across a dent w/o a scratch - maybe I'll have to create one with a soft object so as to not damage the paint :)

[@donaldappelhof2059]

I’m taking the comet down to clean metal and I keep finding little rust spots. Looks more like a stain in the metal. I’m cleaning them as best I can and I was going to epoxy the whole car. I’m thinking that if I seal them it will be ok. We live in a dry climate. This car came from a wetter climate.

I'm trying to bang out the dent sratch on fender someone left me . Depression isn't that deep but about 4-5 inches wide . How to fix the scratch ? It's a lil gouged but not very deep . I have a small 3 lb hammer , can i use that as dollie ?

[@LakesideAutobody]

Yes. To be honest, if it's not that deep you can just DA sand it and fill something like this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaCwqGljltqif9U - Or this video minus the pulling.

[@Gendo3s2k]

OH NO! I've beat on it too much, and it's "tin cannining!" What do i do about it!?? Does that pointy end of the hammer do anything?

[@LakesideAutobody]

This honestly is the best way to remedy the oil canning. t will leave small dings but better than the popping in and out. The pointy end is basically for tapping down high spots. Shrinking hammers don't work very well - at least for major oil canning situations :

[@VARocketry]

It would be even better for newbies like me, watching this technique for the first time, if you had continued to describe 1) what you were trying to alter 2) where the dolly is in relation to the spot and 3) whether your using 'hammer on' or 'hammer off' at that time to achieve the desired change. Otherwise, it looks like a bunch of random hammering with no understanding imparted.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Cool - I'll keep that in mind next time I do a video on this topic. Thanks :)

[@jonviol]

The old boys would have got all the paint off first,dressed the panel to shape with a hammer & dolly then body filed and planished it perfect with a slapper .. No filler just primer and stopper . You ground the surface rather than leaving it 'natural ' for the body file to sight to .It's not difficult to achieve .

[@LakesideAutobody]

You're right metal was thick and you could use a metal file - my dad did that type of work. Today metal is only 5 hairs thick 22 gauge sheet. You don't want to file on that too much :)

There's no easy way to say this it's a little bit on the rough side you shouldn't really not be teaching people such terribly bad techniques seriously you should have no more than 2 mils of fill on a easy job like that max and no big grind marks especially going against the shape of the panel you should really be embarrassed about this I would stop doing any more and leave it to some of the other guys that do a far better example even then there not perfect but good enough meaning you and a few others like bad Chad are a dead loss in the trade to many of you with bad very bad techniques if not no techniques but it seems that everywhere else in the world gets away with murder very low class mostly think they can charge good money for it giving the guys that know how to do a good job at bad name making them look like they're overcharging perhaps so you're not doing the good guys who have the experience any favours at all here you just make it worse for 80% is there are too many people out there with no common sense or mechanical knowledge to know what what they are doing wrong and what is a good job and now they see this and it's a big excuse for them to make a mess and for the next person who gets the car don't mean to be too negative but there's not much else you can really say I had to laugh about the finger on the hammer handle which shows you've had no experience or next to none 😞😞😞😞😕
