    I got a 36 chevy truck, do you think you could incorporate a die and saddle to that and make parch panels woth the molding or body molding.
    Seems like itll work with a steady hand.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  11 месяцев назад

      So this is used for sheet metal shaping, the tuck it creates shrinks the metal when hammered out correctly. Watch me next video coming up on Monday and it will explain everything.

    `Thank you Sir! Another great video as usual! I have one question, does galvanized sheet metal is harder to work on compared to regular sheet metal? What's your opinion on these two types of sheet metal?
    Thanks in advance!

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  11 месяцев назад

      Well I believe galvanized sheet metal is just cold rolled steel with galvanized coating on top of the steel as a rust preventative. Iv never shaped galvanize but I would imagine the galve would flake off, also welding on it can give you galvanized flue, make you feel like shit if you inhale it. Speaking from experience 😂

      That is awesome man! I believe those cars were made out of 19 gauge and the more common sizes are 18g and 20g. I usually build body panels and patches out of 20g. Floors and firewalls I build out of 18g cold rolled mild steel

    Saw this type of tool at Wray Schling shop about 8 years ago, he has made several videos on it on his channel. Is that where you got the idea from? If so it would be good to give credit to those that came before us.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  11 месяцев назад

      If you have watched any of my other videos I always give Wray credit for anything he's taught me. I also took one of wrays classes. When I was there he was using arbor presses to do this. After the class I went to my shop and built one of these and sent a video of it to Wray. Shortly after that he built one and had it in his shop. You wouldn't have seen the one in his shop had I never sent him the video. Also this one is different and much more simple than Wrays
