I am 62 years old, I have gratefully adopted your saying " 100 % good enough" You need to put that on a T shirt.....😊

[@MakeItKustom]

Haha I just got the final t shirt design today!

[@geneschaffer4123]

I like this one….“ Perfection is the enemy of Done”

[@kevinharms5558]

Also love the eyecrometer

[@FixingWithFriends]

My uncle used to always say he was going to "break out the old feeler gauge". Then flex his hand a bit. lol

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Karl, That section of the cab looks like such a complicated area to reproduce, yet you knocked out that repair section like it was no big deal. That is why I follow your channel, you show us it can be done. Thanks Take Care

[@AJStarch]

I love when you do stuff with just hand tools because that’s all I have!

[@fishhuntadventure]

Sometimes it’s just as efficient for time in practical terms. If fancy machines only save you 30 minutes on a one-off 90 minute job with hand tools it’s of no real consequence in real practical terms. Now if you were hammering up an entire car out of sheet the economic of scale with machines shows up strong. I’m no export, but hand tools teach you what to do so when you use machines you don’t get unexpected failures.

[@Eggwelder]

i love the fact that you still use your Canadian tire chisel body hammer

[@KevinHalliburton]

You are my favorite content creator, Karl. I always pick up something.

[@burtonr]

Wow! I've seen you do similar work in other videos, but never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for taking the time to walk through it step by step. Comparing metal with clay really stuck with me to help understanding the shrinking/stretching. Thank you! Can't wait to see that all welded up!

[@Berend-ov8of]

Even for someone who doesn't do any metal shaping, these videos are fun to watch.

[@lestergreen7262]

Really appreciate seeing and hearing the hammer strikes in real time. Helps me from over hitting and controlling the impact.

[@90FF1]

Admire your humility. "I'm still learning." Beautiful work.

[@minnesotatomcat]

You can never have too many Dollie’s. Any time I see a scrap of metal that’s got a different shape or curve than anything I’ve got already I gotta grab it. Beautiful work as always brother! Tell Brenda I says hi! 😍

[@MakeItKustom]

Ha ha hell yeah man! You know I’ll let her know lol thanks for your continued support dude, you’ve been here since the beginning!

[@philholder7983]

Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work. I' m learning a lot.

[@keithroute8906]

That is the only way I have ever made patch panels, great job. That is how we did it in the old days and I still do it that way. Fortunately or unfortunately speed was usually more important or just as important as quality back then so it is real hard for me to slow down and strive for more perfection when I have quickly banged out an acceptable panel. I make them in minutes but yours are certainly better by taking your time. You do amazing work, you are a great example for others to follow and appreciate.

[@brentonpaterson7047]

One of your best vids. Heck all your vids are great but this was really good.

[@sllimj1]

thanks for simplifying a complex procedure.

[@fuelboy]

Just pure example of learning by doing and getting smarter and better each time. And we learn by you taking us along. Great work!

[@kurtludwig6962]

Always good to see hammer work 😊👍

[@michaelsibbes3446]

Hi Karl, I see you're coming to Western Australia for our ASRF nationals, Looking forward to meeting you there , Love you work

[@brendanhurley1068]

Youre an absolute wizard. Best youtube channel by far. I reckon ive watched every single one of your videos by now

[@jdimeo1966]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. What seemed to me so intimidating, now seems approachable.

[@cowlhoods]

I received my profiling hammer kit today in Alaska. Thank you Karl!

[@toodjackson4438]

You're so inspiring there are a lot of spots that use to just get a bunch of body filler I learned a lot from you and now i might use a half gallon on a whole vehicle

[@FixingWithFriends]

Bodyfiller is the devil's makeup.

[@murdoc6501]

Amazing to watch you work! Learn something new with each video. Thank you for sharing and enlightening us! Go Japhands, keep moving forward!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thank you! Will do!

[@artemas33]

Love your channel it is my fav. Could you pls do something on the proper way to remove excess welds from patch repairs etc.? Tools, grit, heat management etc pls!

[@CalicoRiot]

Hey Karl! You knocked that out easy! I have a potential video idea... you shaped this and made it look simple, would you possibly make a video on how you make your decisions when it comes to organizing the process of shaping something? Like, "if i shrink this first, then when i go to do this its gonna make it more difficult down the line, so better to do this other part first" etc? I recently made a piece and it failed spectacularly, so i did it again changing my steps, with success. I feel like it would have been easier if i had a "the logic of moving metal" video to give me an experienced thought process to aid my inexperience. Food for thought.

[@RGVJ21]

Another fantastic video Karl, thanx. Great tunes as well. :)😊

[@larryreece1403]

Another great video Karl! I got my profile Air hammer kit this last week. Starting to put it together this weekend! Stoked to play with it!

[@larrylilly2552]

Great work on smaller pieces

[@rustyrodgarage2686]

Thanks for teaching us all.i always learn something new

[@user-tt3em9ep1h]

Great Job! The use of your Dolly stand and hammers. I need to make some custom dolly's. thanks!

[@uglysteve1]

You are truly the metal whisperer. People need to understand that they cannot possibly start at or near your level. Steve

[@designandbuild3953]

Dude, I love watching you work and grow. You're too humble to realize this, but you're working on becoming a legend in your own time. You keep me motivated, looking forward to see where you go next.

[@carcar447]

Hello As usual, very nice work, you have golden hands.🙏🤙

[@joecioe8566]

You make that look easy. Great job you are a master at your craft. This is what keeps me coming back for more.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@user-xu6nd7wh7m]

Awesome job, it’s amazing what you can do with basic tools, Thankyou👌

[@glennmiller9031]

Awesome work on that panel, Karl. You never cease to impress me.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Glenn!

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Ain’t nothing but to do it!! My learning curve, is which hammer/dolly to use and when!!!!😢 Guess this part comes wit learning/experience/ & informally mistakes 😮😮. But trick I’ve learned is to gain experience/knowledge from one’s mistakes. Much thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@billybarrett6839]

You are one bad dude with sheet metal. Nice job.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Billy 👊👊

[@thercbarn5001]

Very nice! I started building the mini power hammer last weekend. Can't wait to see what i can do with it. Mike c

[@shotsrodder]

Nice job Karl 👍

[@tjakr3869]

These are the best videos

[@petergrunendahl8799]

You are a f…ing genius! Each iron is „smelting“ directly in any kind of shape you want. Impressing. Regards from Belgium

[@axel-vancraft]

You are really awesome, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge !!

[@davidbrown-55]

Beautiful! Karl the magician works his magic once again.

[@brycechessum4684]

Very cool Karl, nice work, O saw one of your mutha tucker hammers on another channel that guy is also a genius with sheet metal

[@lancemclean9273]

Helping us learn and helping a friend- double win

[@johnfields7936]

It's a delight to see you making these complex parts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Karl!

[@laurensmith1828]

Beautiful job on the metal work. I was thinking it might be easier to tape pattern the other side because its in better condition then turn the pattern inside out to match this side.

[@Dagrond]

You make a distinction between form and shape - can you go into more detail about that in the future? Not sure I understand where one is distinguished from another.

[@GypsyJvan]

thanks, karl !! B.A. Forge..

[@FixingWithFriends]

Maybe if I watch enough of these I can do a proper job. ...Can you show me how to make a better welder?? lol Thanks for the video. It looks great (as always).

[@monadking2761]

Love watching your metal work. Have you ever made wood forms than hammer the metal over them?

[@FranktheDachshund]

You take this type of work to a whole new level!

[@stewcrane3441]

Very good one. Small piece project you played with in minute detail. Demonstrated - we can do this.

[@andyb7754]

WOW, that piece turned out GREAT!! You are a true craftsman, thank you for your informational videos.

[@ShineaholicPaintandBody]

Got my spot this morning for noth cali. This just makes me even more excited to learn from you in person!

[@clewis3838]

Every one of these videos gives me more and more tool envy. 😂

[@tjakr3869]

You have a great bro.

[@chloesodomire6505]

You really hit this out of the park... way to go.

[@adambergendorff2702]

Really like the way you used the tape to make a pattern, and the way it showed what needed to be shrunk or stretched as you applied it.

[@throngcleaver]

Best channel for this type of metalworking, by far! Great stuff, Karl!

[@peterkarlsson5416]

You are artist with shet metal, i like your videos. You show we dont have a fancy macshines. Sorry mig bad English.

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Loving this stuff....

[@albertdehn8381]

Thanks for sharing 😀👍

[@leen6bt]

Don't forget the rear bracket on the starter on that 6.5, bolts will break out of the block if you don't put the bracket back.

[@MakeItKustom]

I need one of those brackets! Mines been missing for 15 years lol I should make one

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Awesome work

[@mchiodox69]

Well done.

[@jamesarnold998]

Cool lesson, thanks!👍

[@rbyikes]

Love the channel. keep it up!

[@michaelthimm5888]

It’s almost like you are tuned into that pc of metal and knowing how to form it

[@tomcoryell]

Hey Karl, could you not make your flexible shape pattern on the “good” side and then flip it inside out? That way your duplicating the other side. Great work as always. Nothing succeeds like success.

[@daleking8529]

Nice job on the patch panel! You make a difficult job look so easy! Take care

[@UNlKby]

Отличная работа!

[@Georgiaguntraining]

Excellent, thanks!

[@AmateurHourRestorations]

Another good video! Nothing more satisfying than making panels from scratch!

[@stigerlandsson9099]

Beautiful work as always!

[@Georgiaguntraining]

Excellent, thanks.

[@edwardsterritt4598]

nice work you made it look easy

[@faroironandcustoms6577]

Nice Karl!!! Took me a couple of days to get to your video. I'm doing daily videos for February. (This will be my third year.) Thank you for a great channel. I'm currently trying to build inner wheel wells for the Volksrod using a stump and a wheel. I tried to leave myself a good margin for error (1"), and you are correct the extra material creates lots of extra work. Especially when shrinking. Probably going to take a different route. But the learning is worth the price of unusable sheet steel. Looking forward to the next part in this series.

[@richardprice713]

WOW fantastic

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Good job yiu are the man

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Awesome work!!

[@JHZR2]

What kind of right angle pneumatic die grinder do you use? How about the sanding discs? Great video!

[@JonDingle]

A great video lesson and good to see the variety of tools used to achieve the finish.

[@dewminrashindu2616]

Thanx man❤

[@donbialecki3271]

Thanks!

[@patrickharrand]

Great video as always Karl. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.

[@TheDistur]

Always fun to see what you are working on.

[@jasonhovey815]

You made that look so easy lol amazing work

[@peterwalker3147]

Great job

[@brittneykappes7952]

Love the videos so helpful thanks

[@MakeItKustom]

Glad you love em thanks for watching Britney!

[@mattvelardes8072]

Looks good!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Matt!

[@terryjay6959]

Breathtaking talent, nothing more to say.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks terry! Practice practice

[@timferriss905]

I think a twist would have been you looking over dans shoulder, whilst he had a go at the patch. I think that would have given some of us with little to no experience a pick up to start this kind of work. I no my eldest grandson would like to get into the automotive world when he finishes school this term. But it was very very good to watch you do your magic.

[@sebastianparker]

Hope somebody didnt ask this already but the first dolly you use that looks like a long maul, is that a solid piece of 2" or is it made of heavy walled tubing. Maybe you can talk about how that was made? Love the videos, keep it up and thank you

[@lenmercer7443]

I enjoy watching, you make look easy and you explain well what needs to happen to achieve the outcome. Again thank you

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks for watching Len!

[@richkelley5112]

Top notch Karl. Love the metalshaping, the commentary, the shooting and editing, and good beats too. The patterning and layout segment was great. I'm gonna buy a few more eXacto knives now. Thanks so much for this episode of MIK

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks man glad you enjoyed it!

[@tedalain2526]

Hey karl just wanted to say your videos are the highlight of my week. Just wondering if you will be offering any courses here in Vancouver area. 😁

[@cannednolan8194]

Looks good. I only have flux and mig but no gas for it yet. So the welding with flux is where it goes south. Warping and blow outs. I use a cooper plate to pull away some of the heat. That helped a lot.

[@peterkarlsson5416]

Nice.😁👍👍👍

[@rickyfulks889]

Nice worl Karl

[@jeremyhanna3852]

So the painters tape method seems to work well for you but i like to use contact paper its kitchen drawer liners can get a 10 pack at family dollar for like 3$
