Hand tools - and an English Wheel, which almost none of us own or have access to. Informative, despite the headline. Thanks!

[@ScottGovey]

Karl does some amazing stuff alone, let alone he takes some time out of his already booked schedule to show us all how things can still be done with simple tools. Love it!

[@WilksGRendai]

This is awesome - i’m one for the comfort of narration, so was loving this vid - more talk, essential timelapses for brevity, superb info as always - this format has great flow for me at least. Excellent work and great tips - i have a reverse curve for rusted wheel-arch on my Humber Super Snipe to handle soon and simple as it seems i’ve been procrastinating - thankyou for the kick in the butt Karl 👍🏻

[@mjm7187]

Great details on shrinking tucks, def will archive this episode. Thank You!

[@eddss123]

Super clean work. Thanks for the video

[@waynerohde1036]

I wanna see Elio make something. Hes getting the best education being with you all the time

[@erichall9438]

Good stuff Karl! You boys are killing it. Have you seen Bellos Kustoms 39 Zephyr? Though it would be right up your alley.

[@briankalfus598]

I want to go to San Antonio, I went to the website the first time you said something about it, but I haven't heard anything other than my request was received

[@MakeItKustom]

Hey Brian I’m so sorry you were not contacted. Pls reach me at [e-mail]

[@jamesmcnamara7484]

Amazing and entertaining content as always! Loved the sped up template transfer.. I heard it as “dot-dot-dot-diddly-dot….”

[@flatworm00]

Great video! You make it look so easy. I am amazed at how smooth the metal is.

[@minnesotatomcat]

Watching you is like watching a great magician, except the magician is explaining exactly how to do all his tricks while he does them!

[@carmenjackson1972]

Amazing content. Very easy to follow man! Can’t wait to see the build finished! 🔥

[@burtonr]

That was really amazing to witness! Flat piece of steel to nearly perfect match compound curve in less than an hour, and mostly in real time too. Excellent work Karl! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could join you and the others in class. Maybe next year...

[@tstuart7333]

Always great content for Carl and Elio. Many thanks guys.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Karl An Elio absolutely amazing work as always. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon guys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.

[@MakeItKustom]

Cheers man thanks!!!

[@JohnClutch1]

Some wheel in one direction because your body's ability to push and pull require different muscles. This means your force angle will be different even in the most ambidextrous arms to ever wheel a panel. You could very well be rolling the panel in one direction and flattening out the panel in the other direction. If you only wheel in one direction, you've just reduced your chances of error by 50% You're not going to find a better technique to eliminate issues. The down side is the panel takes twice as long to do in certain situations.

[@DuckyHunter812]

I love the basic hand tool videos. I like the exotic fabricating machine videos too though. Always useful content in here.

[@shootgp]

@MakeItKustom - Carl, any chance of maybe doing a KZbin short where shrinking and stretching is demonstrated but using a micrometer to show how many thousandths of an inch in change there is at a certain place? Love the videos, I've learned quit a bit. Thanks

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s a good idea

[@terryeustice5399]

Karl your an amazing fabricator. Your just amazing . Your great at teaching the skill of fabrication. And you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing ! 💯👊👍

[@garyhodder2784]

Very interesting content and you explain the process very well, Thank you!

[@jags01071]

See I learned something new again, I've been using to much pressure on my english wheel. Even after 40 years experience you still teach me something new

[@frankm8533]

Man wish I could take that class some day

[@rcwarship]

Thank you very much for a wonderful video, I appreciate your & Elio taking the time to show the skills needed, and your editing/voice over when needed. Great Stuff.

[@ravinperera4255]

I think your work is amazing, I also saw you at a local fabrication shop in Australia called MotorRetro…. May I ask, when you build, modify chassis etc, how do you get all this approved for roadworthy regulations as it’s very strict here in Australia … cheers and keep up the good work!

[@robertbennett9243]

Very good info. You make excellent videos for us beginners.

[@brianmassey1800]

Karl, thanks for taking your time that you could be working on your projects to help us learn, much appreciated!

[@friedmansfabrication]

Awesome work thank you for the tips definitely will be trying these

[@krekautofunilaria8730]

Top das galáxias belo trabalho 😮

[@cowfrank]

Fantastic content as always. You are a gifted teacher .

[@TheTubeTube2]

What a beautiful, simple piece of work! Thank you Karl.

[@Berend-ov8of]

The brilliance of this video is in how well it shows how very doable metal shaping is. You could actually take a flat piece of sheet metal and make it look like the Hulk hit it from the inside with a fist. Or a face or just ten fingers, or how about the imprint of a cartoon coyote on the front of a car? You see what I mean? This is what an inspiring video looks like. It makes people come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Thanks !

[@RichardHeadGaming]

Gonna be hot when you get to Texas, start soaking that body with lots of water beforehand lol. Canadian in the Texas heat lol.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

nice work :)

[@sadiejustin]

I love how you can hear the difference in tone as the wheel planishes the sheet out. Ribbed to smooth. Well captured at 51:30 to 52:00

[@MrCaprinut]

For euro heads, 18 gauge is 1.2mm, 19 gauge is 1.0mm. Awesome work Karl! What I really love is how Karl explains things so a non metal worker can understand without problems.

[@williamhinton5906]

Beautiful combination of art, science and skill. Very impressive.

[@dennisschickling2249]

Nice Video. Nice Work. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY🇺🇸

[@Tyrel_156]

I just got my tickets! The stars aligned and I'm in the area with time off on those exact dates. Couldn't be more excited, see you next week.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

Great work i never will probably do any but it is nice to know how it is done keep up

[@larryreece1403]

Awesome video! I really like it when you explain what you're doing and why! I saw the urethane wheel on your english wheel have you tried it for shaping?

[@albertoferreira6194]

Gosto de ver seu trabalho.. Tambem vou aprendendo...

[@blue32nu]

My name is Karl, and if you spell it this way like I do, and Mr. Fisher does, comment and like 😂👌

[@rq5663]

ba bla, he said only with hands tools but he use english wheel, there are a bunch of persons that make this panel with only a hammer

[@billie-jeanpettman506]

Incredible, I've never thought of doing anything like this, but you have sparked my interest...bloody awesome 😮

[@chuymunoz9282]

Es un excelente maestro pero la verdad me gustaría que trajera subtítulos para su explicación, porqué me preguntó que dira😅😅

[@MtnBadger]

Take your personal air-conditioning unit. 😂 Wish I could go.

[@yungglock9349]

yoo nice initial D shirt

[@wrstew1272]

I believe that you explain why a wee bit different than Jordan that transplanted Canuck- he is definitely a more artsy builder ( not a bad thing at all, I can copy but to be totally new with ideas isn’t in my genetic makeup) so he is definitely a wonderful source for new moves, but his latest foray has him stretching modelA axles like Superman on a good day. Your old school thinking in my mind is about the how versus why- definitely compliment each. And you both always so positive it’s a good mentoring for a crusty 72 year old mechanic.

[@eralpakyol]

Thank you so much man for taking your time and share your hard and long acquired know how with us curious hobbiests. You are great. And your humble attitude adds another 10 points to these videos. I think i love you :)))

[@keithwallington4966]

i like the metal shear you have i have never seen one for sale in the uk the only metal cutter is the electric one like you have have a good time on your project 😎👌✌

[@alanellsworth5961]

Are you referring to his Beverley Shear?

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Super informative for a garden sculpture I'm designing. Thanks from Colorado.

[@vdubjunkie]

The only problem with that SOSA Metal Works thing is that it coincides with the formerly Republic, MO "Steam-O-Rama". Have fun though! :D

[@erichall9438]

I've got too much to say today, one of the things I've picked up on, there is no basic hand tools solution for smoothing the panel out, if you don't have access to an english wheel or planishing hammer, two of the more cost prohibitive pieces of kit, you're kind of SOL.

[@Combat.Wombat.official]

It might just be Australia, but a 'quick little intermission' would be mid show, not the very start, that would be an intro or pretext. Just saying lol

[@shensley27]

How do these techniques apply to aluminum? I'm looking to get some light weight fenders for AutoX beetle.

[@jf8461]

I've done a bit of metal-shaping for my cars, by way of necessity. And I will say that he makes it look easier than it was (at least for me). 😉

[@MrHandyDad]

Another valuable technique ppl. dont need 100K in tools to do...

[@kaidakemes1260]

Why u teaching people the poor old skool way. Just want to know. Really appreciate it. It makes welder so kool like a carpenter and mechanic and no combine. God bless da welder

[@davidspin5353]

Im a welder and have a shop, but dont do body work but is very interesting. With basic tools ( no machines) what would be better to practice with aluminum or steel?

[@petermaunsell4575]

Thanks, gotta make a copper cowl foa pizza oven , this really helped. Cheers

[@billwiebe1579]

Its a science, but a reasonable simpler science, but anyone new to this its rocket science

[@KenWandrey]

Nice Job! On your English wheel what is the vertical bar that is above the upper wheel with what looks like a strap going around it? Thanks Ken

[@airdave1961]

yeah. you do good stuff. not a breakthrough in technology . back in the day we didnt have paper or magnets. and worked with real sheet metal. not tin foil these days

[@TradIrishHarper]

Let’s say I have a cowl that some chuckle nut managed to cave in or at least weaken enough over time that is has a sag in it. How do you get that sag out of the cowl? It’s the size of a coffee can.

[@timr.3108]

Great instruction. Always looking forward to the next one.

[@HWMDesigns]

Great video and really informative, keep them coming!

[@blackbeard308]

You're not going to hold down a stronghold let the chips fall where they may be ready to move at all times figure out what you can carry on your back and that will be your life in a shit hits the fan and situation
