Your videos have been hugely helpful Karl! I started watching quite awhile ago just to help me work through some rough rust repair. I didn't have big expectations, I figured I could get things close, fiberglass and bondo could do the rest. I'm a decent mechanic - not a bodyman. But I kept watching and learning new things and techniques. The other day I was thinking about how to create the missing corner on the lower valance for my truck (1976 Ford Courier). I made a tape template of the opposite side then traced it onto some sheet metal. Then I studied it to see what I would need to shrink, stretch or form. Made some notes. It was a complex shape with lots of stretch in the middle. All things I learned from the channel. Ended up pre-stretching it with a hammer on some dirt and grass and outside my garage - couldn't be more barbaric (but I don't have a shrinking stump or even a panel beater bag). Yet my very first attempt got it close to the rough shape. After a little tuning - still just hammering against dirt - it just looked like a slightly bubbly/dimply mirrored version of the opposite side. I planished it by hand and once I was done and the whole thing painted - there's no bondo and yet you can't tell which side I made and which one came that way from factory. That's just one example. I'm way better at this than I ever expected to be. You're an excellent teacher!

Good work, use what you have!

Great comparison between using a tucking hammer and stump verse a power hammer! I didn't realize you were working on this video when I asked you this question on Saturday. And, I've never used a tool that worked as well as your planishing hammer. That thing is awesome!

@CraigHollabaugh Ай бұрын

Shrinking that middle band to push the lifted end down was a great take away here. Thanks Karl.

Karl you’re awesome, I just made my first panel 2 days after getting my wheel. Couldn’t have done it without all your knowledge and videos. Hope to be at a class soon.

Since you like visiting Australia you'd appreciate a young lady calling herself 'Stout Metalcraft' . . . she makes a nice firewall

@wadelawson8449 Ай бұрын

Yes! I just found her channel last week and she does really nice work. I’ve always been into mini trucks so I really enjoy seeing what she’s doing

She was a Motor Trimmer before she got into Coach Building, i can just imagine the interiors she done.

I watched her videos while doing the cab on her toyota stout. Very little that she hasn't left untouched, very talented metal shaper. Right up their with Karl, Wray Shelin, Ron Covell, and several others that I watch. I did some autobody repair, and made some custom repair panels years ago. Just need a place now, to get back into it, too get my own projects done.

From the start of watching you Karl, I immediately went and subbed Wray Schelin. I loved that he says, "Metal is clay"! It's simple and really does help one to understand the material. Thinking like a kid, I imagine if our hands were hot enough we wouldn't need hammers. I was glad to see your post this morning, so I'm enjoying another superb Japhands video!!!!

@enordquist1 Ай бұрын

Great video! I very much appreciate your explanation of the processes both demonstrating and explaining what you just did. Those minute steps are really key to getting past a trouble spot. Must get/make a stump! Also intrigued by the thumb nail dies, would like to see the contours in more detail. Finally is there a link to the trans tunnel / welding wire buck? (And one for the stump too).

@danes2412 Ай бұрын

Nice job. Good comparison, hand shape vs power hammer. You can shrink with planishing hammer too, you should try.

@mikeobrien6954 Ай бұрын

Carl, for those in the home garage you can cut the buck pieces using a small router and straight cutter and apiece of flat steel connected to the router for the radius of the buck parts use say 1/4” mdf

@SheetMetalShaping Ай бұрын

Good tip on stack shrinking being the same "size" throughout the shrink vs a stump tuck shrinking more at the panel's edge 🏆

@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542 Ай бұрын

If I ever get into sheet metal forming full time [I have done a small amount over the years, but never enough to justify tooling], I will be going with hydroforming with molds.

@SkaterStimm Ай бұрын

I think (correct me if I am wrong) that a shrinker / stretcher with a long throat would work really well here.

Correct.

@michaelrotsheld2765 Ай бұрын

Random question. What ear protection do you use? I developed Tinnitus from cutting metal a couple years back, and I wanted to use something that protects at a high level. Great videos - you truly are a master who knows how to explain things and make them easily understandable. Thanks again!

For the love of God add a u shape third wheel to your English wheel so the rubber stops sliding off. Also a dynofile should be useful. Love your stuff

@murdoc6501 Ай бұрын

Incredible explanation of both processes and the science behind the techniques! Great seeing the power hammer in action (saw her hiding in the background)! Question...are you lubing (WD40) before running it thru the power hammer and the planisher? Fantastic execution and a joy to watch! Go Japhands, keep moving forward!

@snupi_nut Ай бұрын

After beating the crap out of that panel and work hardening the metal have you considered annealing it to take out some of the britlness ?Alot less stress in the part.

@stephengent9974 Ай бұрын

If you think about a shrink as a triangle, then you are pulling the short side together, thus the apex of the long side acts like a hinge, and pulls in the ends. Of course having extra material means you can even out the discrepancies

I see you sell thumb nail dies for your hammer kit. I have a eBay Planishing Hammer that is air hammer powered and uses the standard shank. I would be interested in purchasing thumb nail die set I could use in it or even flat base does I could weld to a hammer bit myself. Just a thought.

@ohar7237 Ай бұрын

Ah, so, yeah. Like i mentioned in the comments I made on the last video, the tool I made that's like the tool you made there, is designed to do what your mother-tucker hammer is doing here. Accept different radii of inserts, and then go into an air gun. I'm hoping for better control than I feel like I'm likely to get just swinging a hammer. ;)
