@@chopperhehehe I have been working toward building old cars my whole life. I have seven children so it has been a bit of a challenge but I'm not giving up.
I was always told "You can't make a silk purse from a Sows ear" I recon you could Karl. Amazing stuff Mate. Love ya work. Billy J... Queensland, Australia.
At 19:05. Don't we all lol. Jokes aside, really digging your vids. I've had a new plasma/tig/stick combo unite for a year now. Watching your videos makes me want to unbox it, get a small plasma table and start playing around with it. I've always mig'd, but never tried tig. Very inspiring, Keep it up.
Karl , your a great instructor . Thanks for your time that goes into these videos .You sure are teaching me a lot and thanks for shareing your craft . Be well and stay safe !!
Yeah I need a Tig welder now more than ever. I’ve been stick and mig welding since birth pretty much but have never learned to Tig, u finally convinced me.
Carl...Carl...Carl...Carl it is illegal to use the Eddie Van Halen analogy you see Karl is Canadian. Alex Lifeson would work much better....bahahahaha!
The other benefit to TIG and gas welding sheet metal instead of MIG is that the weld is the same as the parent metal and can be worked. MIG weld is harder and that's why it splits away when you hammer it. Very informative video Karl.
I have made that mistake and have to figure out a recovery. I tried to work / refine the panel but am finding the 80 year old steel starting to crack beside the mig weld. any ideas Dave?? (have since bought a tig welder for that and other reasons) Thanks for the comment Donnie
This guy is just explosive with talent. I wish I could come up there and work as an apprentice for a year or so . . Heck even just a weekend or two.. I just love how positive and overall passionate you are.
Its nice to see all the rot coming out and fresh steel going back in 😁👍 you have certainly got my attitude Karl If in Doubt Chop it out another great video dude 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I am a recent follower. Maybe since August. I think I've watched everything on your channel. Maybe missed one or two. But I'll get them all. It's like collecting rocks. Not everyone gets it. But those of us who do, do so because we want that beauty to be our own, we want it to be part of us. The work you two do here is wonderful. I'm so glad you share it this way. I have learned a great deal here, and all while thoroughly enjoying the video, from end to end you two make an amazing team. And your journey down this path is fantastic to watch. Thank you for bringing me along.
I always head for the Tig rather than Mig. Tonight my coworker gave me a simple fab job. I think he thought I should just cobble something together quick and be done. He came over to me right as I was about to start welding and says, " you know this needs to be done tonight, right?" I chuckled and said, "uh, yeah." A few minutes later I was done and mounting it. I think he saw all the fitting I was doing ealrier and was thinking I was dawdling. Not being a Tigger himself he didn't understand fitment is everything with Tig. Love your videos, Karl. You're inspiring me to get started on my own projects. Thanks.
Love how your background music is at a lower volumn than your voice. Lets me watch these at night while the wife is sleeping by setting the volumn to your voice and then not blasting her out of bed when the music comes on. Thanks.
I've been beating sheet steel over the years and getting the best fit and finish suitable for UK M.O.T. quality , but watching you beat and tap n hammer to get it very precise is a real enjoyment . Tooling obviously helps and the variation you have in anvils and dollies must assist in ways that would have been a dream for me 30 years ago . I'm not sure how I found your channel but I'm really glad I did . Thanks it's a real pleasure to watch
Truly an artist at work here. I am impressed by your teaching methods, and your very detailed explanations. You make it all look so easy!! Thanks for teaching this old guy some new tricks!!
Great video, my deceased dad and my brother and I worked on our 1930 Ford pickup that we put 1966 Chevy station wagon running gear underneath it with the 327 and power glide transmission in it. The motor and transmission is out of it now and has been sitting on blocks for about 20 years never finished. So now that my dad has passed on we’ve decided to sell it to my older cousin who is really wanting it to redo a frame off restoration in honor of my dad
Somehow hypnotic and very relaxing to watch! The sad thing is: it looks so easy...and when you try it yourself disappointment is pretty much certain! ;-) anyway I am looking forward to try myself and learn! Thanks so much!!
Thanks Karl. Yep start the puddle and go. For exterior work on cars I work on I prefer TIG since it doesn't leave a lot of filler if fitted right. You keep me coming back to see the progress on this caddy. As many have said befor it is a most beautiful impressive car. I saw one a month back that was a convertible and was laser straight and as black as black can be. Not a ripple anywhere on the body. I even got on my hands and knees to check everything out. I am 72 years old and have seen many thousands of cars in that time and this one was perfect. Thanks again for another helpful video!!👍👍👍👍😁😁💥✌️👌
I have always said the more work you put on the front side the less you will have to do at the end and the better the results will be. Thank you for posting.
Once again, you owned the internet with another killer vid. I hope one day you start a course teaching ppl the ropes, I’ll sign up right away! Keep it up.
The pioneers of"kustom" work would sometimes use tig to stitch weld long seams on say a roof that had to have a section added. Then before it cooled they would hammer on dolly the seam to avoid grinding and add strength to boot. Got to watch Bill Hines and a couple guys chop a car live in 2 days. It was sick!
Very nice work as always. I had sorta written off making full tig welds in body panels, because I thought it would warp them more than MIG. So you de-shrink them after welding--seems like that must be the tricky part, at least for me. I've got a '72 Chevy Suburban K20 (3/4 ton, 4x4) with some serious rust holage. I would love to resto-mod that thing, time and money provided. Pretty much every video of yours I watch makes those kind of things seem a little more feasible.
Hi 🤗. You're a magician. You are also fantastic at teaching👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Definitely one of the best on RUclips channels I have seen💪💪💪💪💪. Good day to all. 🇨🇦🇩🇰 Lars from Denmark. Hope you understand my slightly bad English
You are one hell of a metal artist and a great teacher even through a video. I don't even do metalwork but I really enjoy watching you turn a flat piece into a work of art.
You have a good attitude and do quality work, i've been a Coach and Motorbody Builder for over 43yrs, it's so refreshing to see someone still showing the importance the good metal working skills.
You have inspired me. Working on new computer and getting Draftsight program. Now I’m going to try making my own replacement body mounts for a 66 F100 from this video. Keep up the great videos.
One thing I like about Karl is not only can become up with ways to build something, when he comes to something difficult to do he can build the tools to build the parts. A lot of the tools and machines he uses he built..
I can't get over how well you explain every step of the process. I am just learning to TIG weld so I can get going on a couple project cars that have been sitting way too long. I am absorbing everything I can from your videos and the clear and calm way you present everything is fantastic. You are an incredible craftsman and teacher. Thank you so much for your channel. ✌️
I have a MIG welder and remember you saying that you couldn't use TIG because you couldn't access the backside of panels. Now that I see you hammering the backside of the panels I understand. The weld bead reminds me of gas welding beads except without the warping. Thanks for trying the new filter for welding and for making the metal working tasks simplified for us novices.
Your comment on MIG vs TIG really rang true for me - with MIG I can stick any old crap together but struggle tuning my (cheap, ancient) welder settings for a really nice looking weld. With TIG I do much better setting the machine up .. but my fit-up is what always lets me down! (Currently struggling my way through a set of headers and making all the pieces fit is way harder than sticking them together once they do!)
Just got off a 12 hour shift, pumped to have a fresh vid to watch man, thanks for your awesome attitude dude!
Just watched it after a 11 hour shift. Found it very mellowing/relaxing. Can't wait for the next one.
Excellent video very helpful
Awesome work. I would love to build hot rods when I grow up. I'm only forty now.
Lol briliant

Bravo once again Karl , you’re an excellent teacher. Great work you two , thanks
Thank you, been waiting for the video ✌🏼appreciate it, ciao
Love to get personal instructions on fabrication techniques from u Karl well done mate
The absolute Eddie Van Halen of metal fabrication !!!! What great instructional videos !!!!!
Carl...Carl...Carl...Carl it is illegal to use the Eddie Van Halen analogy you see Karl is Canadian. Alex Lifeson would work much better....bahahahaha!
Once again a demonstration thats accurate, informative, inspirational, artistic and relaxing to watch.
Thank you
You’re so welcome thank you!

As I understand it, most MIG wire has limited malleability, and that there is special MIG wire available without this limitation.
As always Karl...nice job, and Kristna`s filming 100% prof! Thanks
This guy is just explosive with talent. I wish I could come up there and work as an apprentice for a year or so . . Heck even just a weekend or two.. I just love how positive and overall passionate you are.

You do an excellent job on everything you do. Keep up the excellent videos and have a great day.
Thanks so much Bill same to you!
Watching this is kind of therapeutic.
This guy is a metal magician- the Paul Sellers of Metal!
Thank you for sharing!
I'll say it again -- always illuminating.
Awesome work as usual my friend!!!
Very cool master of metal manipulation . The art of making a panel one out of three with all the curves. 👌
There's not much I can say to improve what everybody else has said. Amazing man!!!
I love to see an artist at work.

You’re so welcome man! And yeah you know what I mean about the tig fitment. Every extra bit is worth it in the end
Enjoy watching your 'fussy' work and the pleasure on your face says it all! Nice work!
Hi, Murmansk is watching. Everything is at a very good level, there is much to learn from you.
your channel is a treasure ! glad i found this beautiful work !
It feel great to learn a little something new every day. Thank you it's always very much apprreciated.

Awesome I’m so glad that our music volumes are acceptable now lol the early days were challenging
It's great to see a younger person doing metal fabrication the old school way. great workman ship love it.
Nice attention to detail. Also, Ordered a t- shirt and a sticker for my lunch box.👍👍👍👍

For a guy who is not a body man, Karl knocks this work out of the park. We used to call these guys panel beaters

Really awesome work ,I learn so much from you and I'm not even a body man
Your videos are just amazing, so easy to understand what your doing
Watching with great interest over here in Victoria... my 1959 Coupe De Ville is going to need some of the same panels. Fine work Karl !
Brilliant as normal. I don't do tig only mig . Witch some times isn't good but get buy .great video as normal thanks .Jamie from Scotland
That panel turned out better than it needed to be, great work!
Great explanation of two types of metal fusion.
