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.

[@vridaw]

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

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@mikemassey1405]

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

[@kirkoglesby6175]

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

[@1208bug]

Very cool Karl, Happy Birthday, Roy!

[@Berend-ov8of]

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

[@davecates9139]

Happy birthday Roy. Thank you for Carl. He's a treasure.

[@wyattoneable]

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

[@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.

[@mixerman1]

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

[@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 👌👍

[@laurensmith1828]

Happy birthday Roy , you raised a fine young man. !

[@dfusit]

Happy Birthday Roy! Love the buck work videos.

[@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.

[@graemecraddock8846]

great video and Happy Birthday Roy 🎂

[@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!

[@SkaterStimm]

Happy 65th birthday, you have one talented son(s)!

[@RaperJason]

Very Happy Birthday, Roy!

[@Buddy-bh3]

I enjoy the great work that goes on in the shop from Karl to Alieo with the great camera work great job guys

[@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.

[@paullatour7012]

Happy Birthday Roy

[@dougwernham5209]

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

[@blakestone8088]

Happy Birthday Roy Going to be a Pilot, I did that in the 70's, for "Horizon Aviation"

[@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.

[@floridian7143]

Happy Birthday Roy. Thanks for sharing!

[@icemanfiveoh]

The firewall looks like a piece of toast! Great video, very informative.

The wood buck looks like a giant slice of bread!

[@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!

[@RR-mt2wp]

Wishing your dad a great Birthday, great video as norm.

[@shedmover9769]

Hey, Roy Fisher, Happy Birthday !

[@paulmulready6031]

Like your stuff you do. You need to learn the power of raw hide mallet on shrinking your tucks,you won’t need the heat. You’ll like the results,the mark you put on is a mark you have to take out. Also Maple wood slappers with a leather cover on the striking face are an awesome tool. Metal stretches when upset with metal,when doing inside radius’s use a wood corking tool,you’ll get the stretch you need without the metal finishing. General Motors use to pay to send me to Ron Fournier’s metal shaping classes back in the late 90’s , really great time did it three times! Did I mention I got paid too😂 Good luck on Yours and Happy Birthday to Dad! My 65th is next week…….still playing with metal/cars/planes/semis 😎

[@johnkranz4004]

Awesome work Karl Happy Birthday Roy 🎈🎂🎈

[@JoesTruckingAdventure]

Happy birthday Roy Fisher

[@jman6030]

Happy birthday Karl the craftsman's pop 😉

[@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!

[@doughills8024]

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

[@ryanlove5332]

G’day Aaron, love watching your videos mate. Have you ever seen the videos of rejuvenating interior plastics using fire? It might be worth testing on a scrap bit of plastic.

[@MrAnotherAnkor]

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

[@adrianbranham2023]

You could install 1 inch bent metal pipe in the corners of your MDF buck where you apply the heat and save this buck. Great job Karl?

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

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Happy birthday mr.fisher your dad is only 11/2 years older then me....l

[@Mark4star1]

Great work! You will find a shop vacuum cleaner will work better with MDF dust than blowing it in your face though.
