ROAD TRIP!!! Planishing Hammer Delivery in the Boogie Van!

[@Downstairsish]

When your struggling and loosing your mojo, think about Chris in his wheel chair! Just goes to show what you can do if you put your mind to it... Great video...Gonna get on with my car now.

[@koolkar55]

You have to adapt to the situation you're in & Chris has got it pegged no problem by the looks of it. Hats off to him, he builds nicer cars that some people who are able bodied.

[@MakeItKustom]

That thing doesn’t hold him back at all! He gets more work done than I do lol I’m sure it’s easy to make excuses in that situation but he sure doesn’t!

[@jsshayes1]

Seriously. You realize you have no excuses.

[@gladememmott3001]

No doubt!!!!!!

[@bruceperron3796]

That was a standup thing you did,really cool.

[@koolkar55]

Yes, just show how nice Carl is in helping people with his skill. I appreciated him sharing it here on KZbin. Legend for sure.

[@MakeItKustom]

Just a win-win man!

[@daviddematos7470]

that does not mean when we are in a wheelchair that we can do nothing ..thank you for helping chris very nice action from your side

[@MakeItKustom]

He taught me lots too! I was blown away by his work nothing holds him back In fact he hast to problem solve so many situations that I bet his mind is better developed than most fabricators. He thinks in more dimensions

[@mysteriousstranger239]

Can’t wait for the Planishing hammer to come out great design

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks man this week I’m hoping!

[@Curryhunts]

That's an awesome thing you did man! I gained a tremendous amount of respect for you in this video. I always admire someone with a hard work ethic and you took it to another level with showing your character in this video. Love the content man.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Thomas! We were honoured to get the tour and invited into such a rad shop with a rad dude Chris is a great guy

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

What a Kool episode of Make It Kustom! A excellent opportunity to feature the new planishing hammer, meet a new friend, and fellow fabricator, visit old friends, and road trip to enjoy new sights with the wifey! Nice one Karl.

[@cliffwill]

that rotisserie is one of the nicest i've ever seen. good trip.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yeah I’ve never had the pleasure of using one! I love how this one lifts and lowers and turns so easy!

[@patofdubois1]

That guy is AWESOME! He does stuff most people standing up would never even come close to doing. Right on Man!!!!

[@jack002tuber]

That guy is so awesome. Love his work. He needs a youtube channel of his own!!

[@MakeItKustom]

He would kill it to. He’s a wealth of knowledge

[@scramblr08]

I realize this was awhile ago but I'm catching up on your old videos. It's great watching you stand there like a dad watching his baby walk for the first time.

[@rv-eb3wu]

The quoquahalla is usually covered in snow and has Jamie Davis recovery at work when we watch that part of the country on TV, That fellow Chris sure does some nice work considering that he has to work twice as hard to get it done.

[@MakeItKustom]

Lol it’s not always covered in snow it’s only a certain time of year that it is ha ha

[@IronheadGarage]

Great video man! Chris seem like a great guy really cool you brought him one of your hammers and looks like he's learning how to use it well. Seemed like a Great trip take care man👍👍👍

[@maxbrouggy3126]

I am also a wheelchair user that builds stuff in my shed, good to see that others do and find solutions to keep it happening. Pity I am on the wrong side of the world to have access to guys like you two.

[@MakeItKustom]

Right on Max! I learned a lot over there has a great set up

[@danboutin8700]

Glad you made a road trip in a van nice and simple not much money just the two of you! Making a new friend and seeing old ones and site seeing ! Great video

[@ryanwopat4739]

Karl truly is a stand up guy, he and I have talked quite a few times and he has always been super nice and helped answer any questions Iv had and shared knowledge with me. Honestly one of the coolest guys Iv talked to in the car industry.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Ryan I appreciate that! It’s easy to talk to car guys Hahaha

[@ryanwopat4739]

@@MakeItKustom that’s true, but we all know there are quite a few guys out there that think their shit doesn’t stink. I like to help someone with some advice if they need it, also like just talking shop…

[@Chevyv8man1]

You've got to pull that steering wheel and turn it to make it right, that would drive me nuts. lol I thought it was great of you to go on a trip to help Chris out. 2 points to you on that one. Very cool that he figured out how to make the hammer work for him Later

[@koolkar55]

Played with my OCD so much too. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. :-) :-)

[@MakeItKustom]

Ha ha I tried to pull it off and twist it but it needs a alignment get it straight properly

[@wirefeed3419]

@@MakeItKustom Lol I think guys are talking about the spokes of the steering wheel being way off from the T position driving the OCD crazy. Sounds like you may have a defective or plugged PCV Valve if the oil smell stopped by loosening the oil fill cap. What you guys did on this trip to deliver the hammer to Chris shows you are both such special people. A selfless act and gift of time, a character so rarely found these days, especially in the last few years. Btw any chance Christina likes hash browns with her Ketchup… Lol 😂 This video of you both was Awesome.

[@davidmays3333]

That was so nice of you to do that for that guy!! Love your channel!

[@MakeItKustom]

It was definitely a win-win for both of us!

[@tstuart7333]

See the world does hold a few special people who are and will go out of their way to help someone. Gives me faith. Super people with great talents and a little pinch of kindness mix in.

[@glenmiller3783]

You are an incredible young man, I can't imagine how far you are going to go.

[@MakeItKustom]

Time will tell! Thanks Glenn!

[@throngcleaver]

Excellent video, and for Chris, I love your shop, and your cars are fantastic! Great work, man!

[@kevinhudson5570]

Your a good man for helping that man out a true role model

[@MakeItKustom]

I was more than happy to! It was a win-win for both of us

[@andrel3]

Karl show us a video on your planishing hammer builds. I like all the content yall make. Thanks for another one!

[@MakeItKustom]

Will do! Thanks bud

[@72monte61]

So awesome of you to make the delivery and give him a tutorial !! I am beyond impressed with his skill set and overcoming the challenges that he faces on a daily basis and how about him flipping the car over & suspending the hammer ? Genius !! Thanks for taking us along for the ride & your wife is badass too !

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks man it was the best trip in a while. Very impressed with everything Chris has built! She sure is a bad ass isn’t she!

[@kevincorbin6273]

Chris was watching the master so intently, what great instruction on how to use the tool and read the metal

[@terrysowter4798]

Not only are you a fantastic couple, but also genuinely nice human beings. I dips me hat to you both.

[@BoxcarsGarage]

Cool points added!!! Fine job all around.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thank you it was such a fun time!

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

This is so awesome! You made his day!

[@MakeItKustom]

He definitely made my whole trip! It was great spending time in his shop with him.

[@darrenmilford1573]

Awesome road trip in a really cool van!

[@MakeItKustom]

We love hitting the road and we’re so lucky that we made it without a hitch pretty much

[@spacecowgurl57]

I have two Uncles who are now in their 80s, born "handicapable" and each worked all their lives, one a artist the other a mechanic of vintage vehicles. I've always been extremely proud let alone hold them high as my role models. *as a side note, one makes some badass hooch! Family tradition.

[@MakeItKustom]

Right on! It’s amazing how people can adapt to accomplish whatever they want despite any possible setbacks.

[@62_C10]

Chris’s garage, cars, and set-up caused me significant envy… very cool and clearly quite talented builder! Nice job guys. Now bring the van to our house and teach me to weld.

[@MakeItKustom]

Ha ha you never know Bob we are talking about road tripping around a little bit I think it would be really cool to drop in on guys

Thanks Dominic!

[@michaelkilanin6424]

Really enjoy your channel and stoked you got the van going and using it. Beautiful country..good people, talented people, living the life! Does anyone else think Chris looks alot like the Scottish actor Robert Carlisle? Anyway thankyou for the great work.

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Chris has some cool stuff, respect. Thanks K and C.

[@josezapata602]

Thanks for taking your time in helping other people most people won't take their time in helping their family members

[@MakeItKustom]

It was a real win-win for both of us! Had a great time up there with Chris

[@oldtown6240]

Great scenery and great Tri-fives. From his work - Chris knows what he is doing. Clearly not a beginner.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yeah not at all! This guy has been building and racing his whole life.

[@andyjohnson6548]

Another awesome video as usual 👍👍 You are a good man to help Chris out. I always hit the like button before I even start to watch your videos👍

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Andy! It was such a great trip! Chris is a hell of a fabricator

[@nitrofish1974]

Awesome brother 👏 I never seen that year red Pontiac before. Good to see you guys got out and spent time with mother nature and recharge the soul in God's country 🙏 nothing compares 🙏.

[@MakeItKustom]

Any chance we get! Lakes hikes and waterfalls

[@trickywoo356]

Hi from France! I discovered your channel a few days ago and I've have been watching the one vid after the other ever since, I LOVE your work and the way in which you explain things - the camera work is also tip-top!

[@darrylvohs5526]

Sweet! I'm a van guy too. First van was a 93 g20. Road trip van is an 01 e350 7.3. Camping van is an 03 e350 7.3 4x4. I'm a cancer survivor with chemo or gvhd damaged lungs(on o2). All my tools are on carts and I have the 400 # overhead hoist on homemade track system. The track is small chanel iron welded back to back. The trolley is two offset plates with 6203 ball bearings. Great video!

[@MakeItKustom]

Killer man! Good for you not letting it hold you back I love it

[@konradweniger3141]

For Chris I think moving the speed/pressure adjustment to the other end of the hose might be handy for him.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yep I’m sure he will modify it a bunch till it fits him absolutely perfect like everything else around him!

[@throttlewatch4614]

That’s awesome that you went out of your way to help Chris out , there needs to be more people like you guys in this world.

[@MakeItKustom]

It was really nothing we both benefitted greatly from the experience! Love these win-win situation

[@MikeS-ci5qw]

Thats awesome. Maybe if he welded a loop on the balancing point of the hammer he could support some of the weight with a heavy bungie off a gantry or his lift. Keep up the good work!

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s exactly what he did! At some point in the video we show a picture that he sent me of his new set up

[@runitmj]

Yess dude, stoked you made the trip up to see Chris. You guys are both an inspiration and doing killer work! Great video!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks man I really appreciate it it was such a great trip!

[@munched55]

Wouldn't mind some footage of what goes into the forming of the different shapes of the planishing hammers and the fine-tuning of the dies. Looks like you had it quite cozy in the struggle bus on the maiden road trip.

[@MakeItKustom]

All the hoops are made by a CNC bender at a local shop. The rest of the profiles are machines locally as well I build the jigs and weld everything together. We are going to include some footage of building the hammers in the release video

[@rpm016t]

There’s very few videos about how to fix roofs that are oil canning like this, and it’s an absolutely nightmare for an amateur to try and fix so was very interested to watch this and in particular, how you read the panel and tackled. Please more videos like this! Love your work

[@spiderchata1]

You come from a great upbringings..u have what the world lacks...compassion and understanding.

Thanks man my parents are very kind

It’s actually pretty huge out here! Langley BC has one of the largest car scenes in Canada

[@fonhollohan2908]

That's really good of you Karl to drop that plashing hammer off to your client Chris. Man chris has some nice vehicles and a beautiful shop. He lives in paradise for sure. I like that plashing hammer its a nice little tool which will come in handy for any body man. Definitely if you can suspend the hammer in the air so you don't have to hold it yourself it will be so much easier to use for sure. That's the only way to go about it. What's that saying again " Necessity is the mother of invention."

[@mtpocketbuilds4286]
