MAKING a Wood HAMMER Formed Firewall - BEADROLLING Can't Do THIS!

On this episode of Make It Kustom, I am working on a 1931 Model A Roadster. With our new engine and transmission in place, its time to build a firewall that suits the car and fits the engine. Since the build is largely inspired by the 1939 Zephyr in the shop, we are again looking for inspiration.

I always appreciate your videos, even though I'm now in my 80s and will not likely get to put these lessons to use. At the same time I have experience I can share with the viewers who "may" apply your methods. I did years of fiberglass molding and finishing and can say without doubt that you'd be better off using a shop vacuum to inhale the dust, rather than using the air hose to fill the shop with it so you can inhale it in the long run. Paper masks let too much of it into your nose to be much protection. It also get into "everything" in the room. I know mdf is not as bad as glass fibers, but your lungs and the surrounding tools, materials and projects don't care about the differences. I used to wrap my vacuum's filter with a couple layers of paper towel, taped with painters tape, so I could roll it up and dis card it. I also doesn't hurt to hit the covered filter with a spray bottle of water before you run it. Gets the first dust to coat the surface and hold more of it there to be tossed when you finish.

Hey Karl, Nice job as always. I can't wait to see the finished product. Happy Birthday, Roy! Hope you had a wonderful day. Thanks and we'll see you next time.

[@wrenchpony9735]

Great tips 👍

[@KevinHalliburton]

Solid advice!

[@stephenredmon-bw1qe]

Happy birthday to Roy, glad yall can spend the time together! I enjoyed the buck work, its looking good.

[@wyattoneable]

I truly appreciate the time you spend teaching us your skills.

[@JeepDraw]

Happy Birthday young Roy, you raised a good lad there, well done. Thanks Karl, and Elio (where would we all be without him) All the very best to you all from Queensland, Down Under.

[@timweidner3335]

Perfect timing Karl, I'm close to having heat in my little three stall and expect to remove the current stepped firewall out of mt 67 C-10 and replacing it with something like what you are showing in this video. Thank you for the direction. T-Dub

[@RobLaing-i2r]

Happy birthday Roy ,your son is a genius, taking time out to teach us viewers ,he sure is a good one greetings from south africa

[@dadstoygarage1878]

Very cool! I used what I learned from that other hammer forming video you put out a while back to make the entire bed floor and wheel tubs on my 1974 FJ40 I'm currently restoring. It's all exposed metal no carpet on that truck so it had to be nicely formed. It worked awesome. Those bucks were huge for that project. I gave a little shout out to you in one of those videos I made on that project, because the how to you gave was very good. I still have to make the cab floor yet this winter. I like your idea of counter sunk screws Im going to give that a go I think. Its also cheaper than all the nuts, bolts and washers.

[@maggs131]

On those outside curves creating the wrinkles with extra material, why not take a few tiny pie cuts out and weld them back together once formed?

[@jerrybickes7957]

Happy 65th Birthday Roy, A very informative video about buck building. Hello Carl and Elio, hope you have a great rest of your week. Thank you Carl for the information.

[@markjohnson8448]

Use a rosebud on your torch to heat metal, it will heat a more uniform area than a cutting tip.

[@mixerman1]

Karl, you have a good way of teaching, I can't wait to see part 2. Happy Birthday Roy!!

[@KevinHalliburton]

Happy birthday to your dad! I've often said that a man can fool me for years, but give me 5 minutes with his wife and kids and I'll know what kind of man he really is. It's not an exact science, but you've always left me with the impression that you were raised by a good man. I hope he had a great birthday, with many more to come.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Kevin! He's the best man

[@vridaw]

Happy birthday Roy! You raised a good one!!! 🍻

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

The first time I saw wood working was needed for metal working I knew I was in over my head. So I bought a router and scroll saw. Man you make it look easy, I wish it was. But it can be done if someone is determined and patient! Awesome work!

[@murdoc6501]

Great work on the bucks and explaining the intricacies of folding that edge! Happy Birthday Roy!! Looking forward to the next video and the new tool! Go Japhands and Elio, keep moving forward!

[@DanHancock-e7o]

Thank you Karl great Job! MDF is good flat surface to use. I noticed you don't really use a Rosebud with the torch I guess it's less changing of the torch head? About flying! Keep you feet on the ground brother, unless you do that all the time it never turns out good for part timers. Happy Birthday Roy! You guy's be safe!

[@terryeustice5399]

Thank you Karl for again showcasing your talents on this firewall. 💯👊👍

[@DouglasMiller-iz9yu]

Use keyway stock for small reference guides. You’ll have adaptable (cut to length as needed) sticks to uuse for guides or assembly fixtures. Also available are the brass tubes found in hobby shops for round guides or small bushings.

[@robertmazzei2412]

Happy Birthday Dad! Really enjoy your channel. I’m an airline pilot and I recommend learning to fly. Really fun and there’s a ton of cool stuff to learn.

[@michaelanderson3771]

Happy birthday Roy Just a suggestion for some of the hole positions. Use the spots that would be used for the grill cowl support rod brackets and brake booster mounting holes and any other item that would be bolted to the firewall. Because those holes will remain and a small pilot in those places will save time later. Loving your work Karl.

[@angusmackay7281]

Happy birthday, Roy. Great video, thanks.

[@roym.9875]

I just finished making a formed panel for behind the back seat of my 73 Firebird. Made a buck from 1/4" steel plate, laser cut to the exact dimension I wanted. Used my pneumatic hammer with a rounded off end on the tool. Worked sweet! A little practice on some scraps of material. Had to move the hammer quickly so it didn't make deep depressions in local spots. Only took a few minutes.

[@ThomasThomas-wn3km]

Happy Birthday, Roy!

[@ewcarpentry]

Happy birthday Roy! You have a very talented son! Hope you two have an amazing day!

[@37FordGuy]

Happy 65th Roy! Fabulous video Karl. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Simplifying complex concepts into practical projects using basic tools is truly a gift to the community. Oh and ask Santa for a jigsaw.

[@davidchappell-o2u]

Great instructional on hammer forming To stop tool punch through how about turning the depth stop as a flange on the actual forming head Also lay MDF strips in the slots under the beads as a backer to help even out tooling punch marks

[@paulbellanger2772]

Great video, very educational. I would rather hear the back ground music than the noise of the tool. Keep up the excellent videos.

[@1944chevytruck]

AWESOME!

[@Berend-ov8of]

Happy birthday Roy !! Did it three months back and I can tell you, this is where the party starts. Looking forward to the next video.

[@kirkoglesby6175]

Happy birthday to you, Roy! Karl always informative, man! Have a good one.

[@dartmoormancave]

Brilliant...learning loads every time I watch one of your videos....😊

[@jaybird4095]

Happy birthday. Your firewall timing is perfect. My kid and I are building 1925 model T boat tail roadster and I want a different firewall.

[@Studebomber]

Happy Belated Birthday Roy. Karl, these videos are so helpful and inspire and teach me so much. Thanks for the great work and one day it will line up for me to take a class so please keep offering them!

[@MakeItKustom]

Absolutely Brian! Thanks for your support

[@javman03]

The wood buck looks like a giant slice of bread!

[@rembertomartinez4457]

Thank you for the class and happy birthday to your dad

[@dfusit]

Happy Birthday Roy! Love the buck work videos.

[@PynkPwny]

Man I love your rat rod that's in the background! Love your content and thanks for inspiring garage guys to get out of thier comfort zone!

[@daleking8529]

Firewall is looking killer! Happy Birthday Roy!!

[@jasonshaw9240]

Crazy cool firewall, can't wait for part 2, thanks Karl 👍 . Happy Birthday to the Oldman

[@mikemassey1405]

Your hands on and explanations are very learnable . Thank You 😊

[@paullatour7012]

Happy Birthday Roy

[@enordquist1]

I love your videos, I come away with knowledge I can apply to my projects without having to buy $thousands in tools. Happy birthday to your dad! Re, Mark Wagner saying he's not intelligent. Your honor, I object. The witness is extremely intelligent. Seeing his way through the project and setting himself up to glide through it is more intelligence than many "smart" people have. It's not about books and school degrees. Re heating corners, would induction heating work? Those induction heaters for bolts might work. Heats locally quickly with less fire. Not super cheap though .

[@gregorystroud6119]

Around 34/35 I find myself blowing the flame out!!!!!!

[@1208bug]

Very cool Karl, Happy Birthday, Roy!

[@brianjones6500]

I really like the custom oval chunky die you have to back up the hammer. It reminds me of squeezing rivets; the dies are flat and pretty much useless for the pneumatic squeezer. But if you round off the edges and build a dome; then you can have a nice concave squeeze resulting in a nice smooth surface to play with. Tell your pop happy b day!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Happy 65th birthday Roy hope you have a wonderful day 🍻 I was 60 on October 9th we had a huge family party and also renewed our wedding vows ..so I’m all set now 😂 great work Carl can’t wait to see it in the car dude 👌👍

[@rustyrodgarage2686]

Thanks Karl,nice work

[@cliveburton8992]

Happy birthday Roy 🎉

[@KUP13JLOSTPROJECTS-u1n]

Great work keep it up you have been a great help in my metal shaping journey

[@MdubFrederson]

It's wild how much stuff you do by hand. a CAD platform and a plotter would have most of this stuff done in a quarter of the time. It's impressive, regardless.

[@doughills8024]

A down draft sanding table would be a really nice addition.

[@timferriss905]

Happy birthday Mr fisher. Hope you have a fantastic time. Sounds like the sky's the limit. Karl very interesting the way you are going about this fire wall. I will copy this in the future. Not the same layout but your buck form. Cheers and best wishes, from England.

[@whatzthis64]

Love your videos, Happy Birthday Roy, have a wonderful trip.

[@bass60guy]

Nice job Karl, using your finger as a guide is an old carpenter trick. Oh, by the way I'm an old carpenter, lol!

[@JohnMcClain-p9t]

Lots of us "old guys" watching!

[@AlanPitt-y3n]

Fantastic work well done guys 👍🏼

[@graemecraddock8846]

great video and Happy Birthday Roy 🎂

Nice work. Happy birthday Roy. Be safe and stay well.

[@TheSandman614]

Happy birthday Roy! You got a good kid here!

[@ronaldschmuck3901]

Happy birthday Roy,hope you had a wonderful day.🎊 🎉❤

[@joecioe8566]

Happy Birthday Roy. Looks great, looking forward to seeing you form the beads sounds like another great idea Karl.

[@IkeAndoit]

You would want a skid plate like a sewing machine for your hammer tool I guess. Or something that runs in a guide that will magnetically or mechanically clamp to your material, like a plunge saw rail would work for straight lines but something like a router jig for curves. Just spitballing.

[@dougwernham5209]

Happy birthday Roy. Thanks for a very interesting video Karl.

[@daleheiligenthal3988]

Happy Birthday Mr. Fisher. Great video Karl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JustinPaul1st]

Happy Belated birthday LLoyd Fischer be blessed...thank you Karl for this informative episode ...was wondering how you gonna get that corner sorted but you showed it can be done

[@carlhansen5807]

Happy 65th Birthday Roy...

[@martinpook5707]

Very interesting - the chassis mounted diff with chain drive seems to have been quite common, effectively independent suspension.

[@Tat2TankT]

Happy birthday old Roy 🤙🏼😎

[@albegt98]

good job man 👍💪

[@AbstractDreamz]

At 6:29 it is funny that you say sandwich as you are sitting in front of template that looks like a slice of bread!

[@paulmaigler289]

Happy Birthday Roy!!! Always a great video of information and tips Karl!!

[@RaperJason]

Very Happy Birthday, Roy!

[@philholder7983]

Happy Birthday dad.🎉

[@andrefranco9352]

Happy birthday papa Roy!!!!

[@frankschwartz7405]

Very interesting. I plan on doing a similar forming project this Winter. Have you done a video on hammer forming larger louvers with this technique? (like 34 Ford style) Thanks for the video and company.

[@matthewgridley3509]

Duck tape a shop vac to the sawzaw contain the dust. Constructive criticism. Great vids man. The music volume and talking volume is a good difference. Many make it hard to hear them talk hahaha.

I would recommend using a jigsaw. It costs three kopecks, but it is convenient, simple and fast.
