METAL SHAPING with ONLY Hand Tools STEP BY STEP!!! How To Make Compound Curves EASIER THAN YOU THINK

[@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!

[@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 !

[@brianmassey1800]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@tstuart7333]

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

[@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...

[@DuckyHunter812]

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

[@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.

[@flatworm00]

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

[@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 ! 💯👊👍

[@rgc1961]

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

[@TheTubeTube2]

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

[@williamhinton5906]

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

[@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 👍🏻

[@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!!!

[@carmenjackson1972]

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

[@cowfrank]

Fantastic content as always. You are a gifted teacher .

[@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.

[@MrLangleylad]

Dude you make it look so easy , you never know what you can do unless you try . Please give my condolences to Rick , Ron was a good man.

[@davemartin1534]

Very interesting and informative. Answered a lot of my stumbling around inexperience of shaping metal. What few times in my life I needed to do it. So I just gave up,wish I could have saw this video some 40 odd years ago.Thanks for this video. Never to late to teach an old dog tricks.

[@frankm8533]

Man wish I could take that class some day

[@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

[@robertbennett9243]

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

[@friedmansfabrication]

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

[@garyhodder2784]

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

[@billie-jeanpettman506]

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

[@joescully566]

Well do e again Karl. Great start to my weekend and off into the workshop😊 Joe

[@williamweesner1191]

Thanks for your contributions Fisher.

[@MakeItKustom]

You’re so welcome William! Thanks for your support!

[@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 :)))

[@dragonnorway]

Wow, you are incredible both as a craftsman and teacher!

[@brianbrochu9318]

Thank you so much for all your tutorial video, you are one hell of a metal shaper

[@israelsilva9789]

Thank you I needed this I couldn't find a hand tool metal shaping vid for my project you're awesome thank you

[@DependableAutoTruck]

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

[@CraigHollabaugh]

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

[@krekautofunilaria8730]

Top das galáxias belo trabalho 😮

[@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!

[@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

[@Mopar46]

Excellent tutorial, as usual, Karl. Thanks mate.

[@timr.3108]

Great instruction. Always looking forward to the next one.

[@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.

[@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!

[@daleking8529]

Excellent educational video!! Nice job Karl!! Take care!

[@whittlerdave1440]

I've been a lot of metal patching on cars but this was great information I don't have all these tools I'm old school I've made a lot of different panels and they turned out all right not like yours but I did learn a lot watching this

[@mjm7187]

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

[@franksgarage8551]

I mentioned the class at our car club meeting. A few of them want to learn about it as well. Im hoping to find someone local to share knowledge. Im not nearly good enough to pass it along. For those that have never tried this, its an absolute game changer. And that Mother Tucker Hammer,mind blowing how well it works. Worth every penny!!! I have one of those transfer gauges,to match wheel to panel. Dont have a radius gauge..

[@denniscooper3150]

Karl is awesome. Great teacher

[@Macbetula-yl8wq]

I always learn something watching your videos, thanks 👍

[@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). 😉

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

So cool you can manipulate metal like that with just a nylon hammer and a bit of know how….nice work 👌👍

[@albertoferreira6194]

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

[@petermaunsell4575]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@Kamalaheadqueen]

Ridiculously educational video. Perfect ..thank you

[@TheDistur]

I love how much information you are putting out there. I think anyone with a little ambition could learn so much on here. Thanks Karl!

[@MrGixxer1300r]

as always great content Karl. I always learn something watching your videos

[@davidwright4363]

Seem to be the same principals of armour making ❤

[@garylietz6305]

Excellent tutorial.

[@HWMDesigns]

Great video and really informative, keep them coming!

[@pierrelacroixexk6713]

Thank you very much, I learn a lot!

[@eddss123]

Super clean work. Thanks for the video

[@lawrenceessard4086]

Incredible nice metal working. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@waynerohde1036]

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

[@tomdawson2035]

What a skill!

[@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

[@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.

[@mikeanderson1139]

Great tutorial...ordering my MTH and stump kit now

[@MakeItKustom]

Right on Mike thanks for your order!!!

[@johnkranz4004]

Nice work Karl

[@claytonjackson9476]

Hi Karl, I have been watching you for years and you have inspired me to get out to the shop and try things. I have a question... could you use a stationary planishing hammer in place of the English wheel for metal shaping like in this video?

[@marca5883]

Proper job 💚🇬🇧🌱as per usual Mr fisher👍👍👍

[@marca5883]

& that shear is awesome dude💚🇬🇧🌱

[@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?

[@johnkennedy8452]

You are amazing, great ideas make great art and you my friend are an Artist 😅

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Luv ur vids so much learning content! But it also causes so many questions for the novice (ME) lol! It’s neat one can achieve radius and curves with simple tools I.e. hammer and dolly, sandbags, stumps, etc but if you go to English wheel to smooth out panel, can’t one actually achieve the same panel with English wheel alone? Speaking for my self an sure others who don’t have any body tools. Seems thru my eye the EW would be the goto tool to purchase/use??? So wish KZbin would been around in my teens I can see a different career path I would have chosen ❤❤❤

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing, always interesting! Thank you!

[@lio0101]

I love that shear,,👍👍👍.terrific video ...

[@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?

[@stephenmonkhouse6114]

Great video, Thanks!

[@laurensmith1828]

Awesome video ,very informative! Thanks Karl!

[@williamenglish4398]

[@AlexxBulka]

Thank you for the useful video

[@rondunlap4628]

Karl I keep send vids to like minded friend you rock brother

[@garrykellogg3215]

I love seeing how you take a smooth sheet of metal, make it rounded and lumpy just to make it rounded and smooth. At 60yo, I'd be exhausted. LOL!

[@paulhedman7387]

Great stuff!!!! I'm learning plenty...

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

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

[@rodneydelaney9227]

Great video. Fascinating 👌

[@glenmiller3783]

Another Awesome video Karl

[@petersmith1076]

Really enjoyed this video. Just wondering what happened to the caddy? My favorite episodes are on the zepher.

[@Aaronferguson31]

You're right about that shear cost. I found a used one for $500 US.
