Very well done, Karl! It's hard to keep a video over an hour long interesting, but you do it well!
Ron I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you are watching. I’ve looked up to you for so many years!
Two of the finest fabricators I look up to in one comment section 😅! Karl, It's always Kustom, and always amazing. Every video, I wish I could work with you and learn "ALL THE THINGS". And Ron, you've been one of my biggest influences as a teen 30+ years ago. maybe one day we'll get a Japhands/Covell video! and I HOPE it's more then an hour long!
I was frustrated by getting distortion when doing the basic "tack the ends of the weld" method and wondering what i was doing wrong. Now i can better practice getting good welds and not worry about the distortion (at this point) since I understand that there are more advanced techniques to manage that -- but one needs to be *able to weld first*.
Wow dude you've got Ron Covell watching your videos!
@@MakeItKustom just an idea, I’m a metal roofer and do you think a sharp pair of offset aviation snips would work better cutting your template? Might make inside radiuses easier. Midwest are the better for more detailed cuts. Just throwing it out there.
Karl you are a true artist. Your common sense approach teaches me something in every video. Keep up the good work. It’s always a treat to see you work.

Excellent Bill I’m so glad to hear it thank you!
Not just welding. This is an artist at work we are watching. Amazing job Karl. I just found your channel and I am now a subscriber. Detail and description of metal and how it changes due to the heating process and then how to combat it by hammering with visual examples is priceless. The skill used to template, cut and shape is just a bonus. Please keep the content coming.
Very nice work! I'm a retired Navy veteran. For my career my rate was Aviation Structural Mechanic. I did everything from fabrication, NDI, welding, painting, etc... I thoroughly enjoyed it and the challenges that came with my work! I served our country for almost 30 years. I'm now a disabled Navy veteran and retired. I miss the work. I do enjoy doing small projects at home. It's nice to see a talented young individual enjoy what their doing. Your work is impeccable! Keep it up and keep the videos coming I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
Thank you for your service!
Nice work! I learned a lot...
I had a metal shaping class at Dagger Tools and we discussed metallurgy and welding and the takeaway was gas welding and tig provide a "softer" weld that is easier to work such as planishing, hammer & dolly and shaping much like the original sheet metal, mig leaves a harder more brittle weld that's not as good for those things I mentioned, it can crack much easier because it's harder.
Yes absolutely true!
It is Harder because it cools faster.
Take the weld above 375F and cool it slow and it will work.
Thanks for explaining this. I have wondered what the metallurgical difference was for quite a while. 👍👍👍👍
I'm not a car guy but I learned more about tig/mig welding sheet metal here than from any welding creator. Loved the topic, the challenging project, lighting, camera work, audio and editing. Thanks to you and your video production team from Colorado.
You are an absolute metal work wizard. I always look forward to more videos here.
Thanks so much glad you enjoy it!
He makes it all look so effortless too… 🤯🤌
This may be my favorite video and i've seen almost if not all. Your fit up skills are truly amazing, thanks for taking the time to explain.
Great work again Carl its never the same each time, also the importance of hammer finish welds returns the metal back to a relaxed state. Your channel is great especially for young blokes to learn a dieing craft. God bless.
Thanks les! Absolutely with hammer welding ! It’s amazing how much stretching it back helps
Wow! Well done Karl, you are an excellent fabricator and instructor! One of the more informative videos I’ve watched! Thank you!
Incredible. You´ve got me so stoked on metalworks. Building your tools. Renovating an old Merc 107 from 75. Bying a english wheel tomorrow, benchmodel. Got myself a TIG too. Now all I have to do is learn to use everything hahaha. So much fun.
Great information, always great outcomes! Your teaching style is easily followed. Eager to learn whatever you are teaching next. Thanks!
i love these long in depth videos you make, beautiful work, thanks for sharing!
Very welcome thanks for watching
As always your description is detailed enough to easily follow what you’re doing. Very beneficial watching, thanks.
Awesome Steven thank you
Beautiful work , you are a great teacher. I like the long videos because of the detail you are able to show.
Wow, a very complete demo very well presented. That's really got me buzzin! Thanks
So much good stuff to absorb in this video. Truly a great tutorial. You have so much skill and talent Karl - Thanks for your patient explanations of each process 👍
You’re very welcome Peter ! Thanks for supporting the channel 👊👊👊👊
Your videos are a real treat. Your calm way of narrating what you're doing is just perfect for the understanding of your work. Thank you for letting us watch over your shoulder.
Awesome to hear Andre! You’re most welcome!
Yes, very methodical and your approach makes so much sense. Keep making videos like these so we can all learn.
Your attention to detail is spot on! I don’t mind the longer videos when it comes to instructional information. You have a heat way of explaining your thought process and show as you go along. Keep up the great content.
Lovely work Karl, doesn't seem like an hour when you're watching a true craftsman, so jealous of your workshop, Joe
Looking forward to the next video already, Whatever the content. The metal work is great craftmanship. Many can learn a lot from this very talented young craftsman. Thanks you for the videos all the time consuming editing.
You’re very welcome and thanks for supporting!
Thanks for talking and explaining what you're doing. So educational and entertaining.
Thank you Karl. Very useful ideas as to how to approach such matters, notably what is best with TIG and MIG.
You do amazingly beautiful work suck a joy to watch you go through step by step and all the fabrications procedure.
Glad you enjoy the contact Paul thanks for supporting!
Thank you, Karl, for the tutorial. I really enjoy watching you work. As a professional educator, myself, I really appreciate your style and how you communicate the steps. I recently repaired my race car, and wish I'd had this information before I started. I now understand what went wrong, but will certainly correct things on the next project.
Amazing Karl! You are a talent! I adore your skill. And I very respect that you share your techniques with others selflessly.
Very happy that you still got the shop
Fantastic Karl! Thanks for giving a detailed demonstration of your processes to achieve beautiful results. I know it is very time consuming to record the work but it is very informative to many of us. Thank you
Report the spam brothers!
You’re so welcome 😉 thanks for your appreciation and support!
Excellent job, Karl! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and your skills! I learn something almost every time I watch you! The hood and the cowl came out beautifully! Enjoy! Be safe! Bro Harry
Thanks so much Harry! I appreciate it
Very nice work!
The finished bead looks awesome. Your technique was definitely logical and made sense to me. Still learning something new from every video.
Great instruction and a beautiful, graceful bead line. Awesome work Karl! This is going to be a gorgeous roadster.
Thank you once again for taking the time to make these longer videos! I just moved into a new home and my garage is not setup yet, but I have a 72 Datsun B110 that needs some rust repair and your videos and the knowledge I'm gaining every time you put them out is giving me the confidence and taking away the anxiety I have about the metal work. So thank you! Keep building rad stuff, I love your videos!
Check out fitzees fab too.... he did a bunch on a datsun PU.
Great to hear it Mark! Those are cool trucks but they always get rusty. Daniel is right Fitzys fab is a lot of great videos on a Datson
As always, perfection and extremely informative. cant wait for the hood sides, I am following you as I build my 1935 chevy master coupe 3 window. Thank you again sir.
What a beautiful car you are building. I love those! Sorry to disappoint but no hood sides for this roadster
@@MakeItKustom Not to worry, any thoughts on vents with a difference
Thank you, as always you have shown me something new. Your commentary is easy to follow.
Nice job man ! We love it . Your a real talent and we are all inspired . Thanks for putting this out into the world
watching you make this template takes me back to art class as a kid when I was cutting stuff out with scissors to glue them onto a big piece of art paper lol
Your skill makes it look easy, brilliant talent. Thank You
Thanks Bill and you are most welcome!
Karl, creating bespoke tooling for your job is next level stuff! Truly amazing!
Wow! Learned another new technique to welding in patch panels thaks Karl for the great demonstration of your works and showing different techniques fir metal work keep em coming
From Russia with Love! Best videos about metallwork. Really like to watch you. Very positive.
I repair my Nissan and look at your work, it's give power to continue. Phanks
That’s great thanks for watching! I appreciate your support
Well done. I love learning more. @ 65 I don't see much I haven't already seen. Steel, stone, wood, glass.... I've worked with it all, but this episode pulls together so many disciplines and principles to a fine point. Thank you for sharing.
Great to hear thanks very much for watching!
i love that you build your own tools as well nothing more gratifying than building tools to make more tools or to just use awesome!
Very nice welding! And helpful insights. People seem to fall in MIG or TIG camps, good to see someone who sees the value in both and is willing to share!
Hi Karl, for those of us that liked your bead roller project I thought you would consider making a basic kit just with the cut out steel ready for welding. You could tailor the kit with or without the extras. Thanks
Absolutely I do have those plans for the future!
Hi Karl,
hope you read my comment.
I love watching your videos and can learn so much from them!
But for TIG-Welding thin sheet material like that with almost no distortion, you should try out a machine with Spot-Welding function.
Spot-Welding is a technique with extremely short single-pulses but very high Ampere with no up, or down Ramp at all!
For 1mm Sheet for example you go with 0,08s to 0,12s Spot-Time with 100A to 120A. Works very good!
Brings almost no critical heat into the material and almost no shrinking!
It is not a very fast way to weld, but it is a game changer for sheets, where you have no access to the back for hammer and dolly use.
A very good (but not very cheap) machine for this technique for example is the 'REHM Tiger digital Ultra'
Also very good, but a little more low budget is the 'Weldinger W205p'
Best whishes from germany
Martin
Shermann digitig 200 ac/dc multipulse too i guess
@@12345kisma
yes, it's the same machine as the 'weldinger 234p' just branded different.
On this machine the HF-start is a bit tricky and not always starts the arc fast enough for short spot-times.
And in general on both 'weldinger' machines the minimum spot-time is 0,1s! Sounds very less, but for some high precision welds 0,1s is a bit to much. On 'REHM' Machine you can adjust 0,01s!
Martin thanks so much for your comment I’ve seen people use this technique before but didn’t really understand how it was set up I guess certain machines will have that option. I would be happy to give it a try! Thanks again cheers
@@MakeItKustom
Hi Karl,
i don't know if it is available in your region, but if you only want to go DC, the Weldinger W205p is a very good, and not very expensive option!
If you want to give it a try use very sharp 2,4 pink electrodes, because they will be good for starting the arc even on low Amperes.
I use that machine by my own and you can create almost laser-like welds with it!
A good HF-ignition of the arc is the very critical key for good results!
But most cheap machines are struggling with exactly that.
As always, it is just a little bit of try and error, tiny to no gaps between sheets and of course getting some routine.
Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪
Martin
Well done. Easy to watch and understand. Great workmanship, your videos are so skilfully done. Thanks.
I like everything about your videos: attitude, technique, explinations, use of safety gear... I'm learning a lot. Thanks.
Excellent craftsmanship! its well explained and demonstrated by a professional. what are you going to do with the front and rear edges of the hood?
The front and rear edge of the hood will not have anything done to it as they do not from factory. Just the sides of the hood need the strength
Absolutely beautiful hood!.. the arrow detail really looks cool. Are you going to make hood sides or leave the engine exposed?
Thank you very much I am going to leave the engine exposed
Karl, you have become a true sculptor of metal which my friend is an art in itself! I love your thought process and the execution.😍😎
Brilliant content again Karl. Always incredible fabrication, an artist at work!
Thanks for the great video. My takeaway of this video: know your skills or lack of them and use what works for you. Your not born a master, you have to work up to it.
Absolutely we are all born the same not knowing anything. It takes patience and dedication to learn any craft. And there’s always a way to do it with less tools
@@MakeItKustom at my age I'm still works on the "less tools" part!
Just re watched this content again,thanks for the GREAT INSTRUCTION !
Well done, Karl! Thanks for sharing your knnowledge.
A young master at work.!!!! What else has to be said. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Helpful tips and tricks!!! I find this information very useful for when I go weld my dad's 68 Camero quarter skins in place!!!
WOW...that looks really cool! Makes all the difference in the world.
Karl , I like when you say this works for me , no right or wrong way. Being able to adapt to what's happening as you do it . That skill alone keeps us all learning. Awesome talent youg fellow !!

Beautifully explained and demonstrated.
Thanks!
came across your videos and love sharing with my metalshop students. So much skill, passion and patience with hand tools. Kids want to depend on technology to do everything quicker and easier, even when it's not feasible or possible. RESPECT!
I hope to get as good at welding one day as you are. I'm learning and you tips help. For most content on RUclips I would find a video this length too you but yours are a pleasure to watch. Thanks
Man, I rarely watch a feed for more than 20 minutes, you had me hooked brother. Great job!
Really enjoyed that, great work. Thank you. I enjoyed learning with the longer videos.
Thanks for sharing, mate. This detailed explanation helps me understand when you should think about tig or mig.
I had no idea your video was well over an hour. I was watching and suddenly it was over. You taught me a good difference between tig and mig. Helped me on a project I"m on now. Thank you Karl !!
You are a store house of knowledge and incredibly generous to share your expertise. An artisan with a great eye for style. I'm 74 and never bypass an opportunity to learn from the best who walk the talk!
Karl, thanks for taking the time and showing us detailed why’s do’s and don’ts . Much appreciated.
You’re so welcome Wayne thanks for watching!
The bits you added to the bonnet defiantly finish the lines off , great job Karl 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
I will be applying these techniques on a Charger fender here real soon. Thanks so much for quality video. You explain everything very well. Keep it up!
Just found this channel and I'm addicted, the work you do is awesome!
Many like you helped me make up my mind on what I went to college for.
Great job Karl! What I learned from you here will really help me on my project. Thanks and keep it up. Chuck
The best "how too" vidio I've ever seen. You are a great teacher Karl.
What an amazing tutorial. Production on this was top notch!
Great to watch a true craftsman at work. Thanks for such detailed instruction it has helped me in restoring my old motorhome, I have learnt so much about mig welding.
Karl, Just discovered your vids. Im an old racer used to doing it all myself, kinda jack of all trades, master of none. But I love metal work and your vids really help someone at my level of experience. I quiit using the tig years ago, but Im gonna get it out and work on my Land Speed Racing 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe this winter. Thanks and looking forward to more.
great job!!! been doing body work and painting since 1990 and i learn something new everyday . but i also believe if you don't then your eyes aren't open. i can honestly say i have learned a lot from watching your videos. keep up the great work and teaching others whats possible with hard work and dedication .
I learn things every time i watch you. This hour just flew by ...
WOW, this video IS very informative. I couldn’t even get close, thanks for spending so much of your time to show us how you do this amazing work.
With practice and patience you can! Your welcome 🙏 thanks for watching and supporting!
This is exactly the video I needed to see. I normally don't watch the long runs but this one was perfect. A lot of really good information. The camera shot from the back side of the mig weld was amazingly informative. Thank you very much.
Right on I’m glad you like that shot!
Inspiring work, thanks for posting and taking the time to show your techniques.
Super rad video! Long content is great and shows the full process. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Thank you for another fine video explaining in an easy to understand way. Always looking forward to the next video!
I’ve been a stainless tig welder/fabricator for 20+ years. And still I find myself watching all your videos. Great job man.
Love the long videos. Superb work as always!
Your insanely talented! Didn't think I'd watch the whole vid being that its 1hr long, but I felt like I was right there with u! Awsome work man!
You're a legend dude. I learn so much from you and I don't even do cars. Good technique is universal. Thank you.
ik vind het fantastisch hoe je het doet met zoveel plezier en vindingrijkheid.
That is some PRIMO Metal work my friend. You are a hell of a fabricator Karl, & a great instructor too because I'm learning a lot from you, and I really appreciate your know-how and show-how.
The final result brought a smile to my face! I appreciate your attention to detail! And the music was great throughout!
Rad Karl! Thanks man
A true artist you are. Thanks for the video.
New to your channel... I'm'm restoring 55-57 Chevy trucks... At 62 retired and building trucks... Having fun ... I have a mig and great education on tig... Awesome work ... Thank you Sir
Your patience during the process is an inspiration to say the least.
Really makes me want to be more thorough and patient the next time I do sheet work.
Thanks for all these great videos!
Right on man glad to hear it!
True talent at it's best , I have been in the auto body repair for 35 years ...your no 1
Awesome tip on the disc cutting thing. Love it
Your dedication is outstanding
You are a true craftsman. Awesome work. Keep learning me.
