Kudos to the editor for not drowning out everything with the music track.
Mercy, I'll second that.
To us metal benders we actually like the music of an air die grinder.
Amen
@@leeklemetti1887 it is the sound of our people.
Thanks for noticing Kim this is been a struggle with sound levels on our videos and happy to know it’s working for you! Kristina is killing it
Im sure this has been written before, but i'd like to point out that this channel is absolutely spot on. Informative without extended yapping about irrelevant matters, nice camerawork, no music leaving your speakercones left as dust on the floor, a clear happy voice that explains it all to you, entertaining while educating and nice and clean surroundings.
Thank you for your good work mate, keep it coming we love it. :)
Great job as always, I'm an 80yr old welder fabricator I still make beautifull artfull gates and front door entries. I know you take great pride in your work, but you are a teacher that explains in some detail but not at all boring as most teachers are, and thats a gift also. I'm just starting on another build, a 1931 model A pickup with a model T bed, classic 4inch droped chrome axle, 383 stoker, OD trans, corvette , 1984 corvette rear end. My last pickup was a 1948 studebaker, camero front clip, trans and posi camero rear end. Slammed and fun fun to drive. I like building them its more satisfying that driving them. All the engineering making everything working together, and looking good too. Christeen (not spelled right} does a great great job too. You guys will go far can't wait to see your new shop, just keep doing what makes you happy to build, don't worry about what others think, love all your videos, Jim from Las Vegas Nevada
Not a bad life for a twenty year old.. ;)
I am nine hundred ninety-nine years old
I am a welder also but not great like you.
Good wishes from INDIA.
Doesn’t matter. Keep at it like me. I’m still learning and none of the things I’ve welded have broken. Must be doing something right. Learning tig now on sheet metal. Self taught too.
Great info on those pieces
Just ran across your channel. I really love the depth and completeness of your demonstrations. Telling it like it really is, and working from just the basics is a great philosophy, and makes for really excellent teaching.
I thought you were making a tool... until you were holding the finished product! Man thats awsome !
Same here, that was great.
Ha ha I didn’t realize the video was so misleading. I guess it added to the mystery and I’m very glad you enjoyed it!
First time watching!
Patience, eye to detail, and a vision of what the finished product is! Your a talented metal fabricator!
Brilliant. The 45° grinding is such a great tip for consistant edge radius.
One off the few YT fabricators that leaves the guard on his grinder. And teaches us things without expensive equipment.
So good and so achievable for the mortals having a go, and yes excellent camera work! 😉
What a useful craft to be taken to such a level of excellence! Natural teacher. Good job young man. There'll always be a need for folk like you.
This was amazing! Even if I never use these techniques I still love watching this kind of fabrication!
Another fantastic video, great camera work to show to show how it's done,I never ever would have thought to do rectangle bends like that,I also agree with Mr Steinberg that I can learn from the younger generation as old as I am! Excellent, well done,Thanks to your counterpart for her great camera work!
Nice! Love the no music and just explaining the whole way through. Great technique and you did it really well.
That's a great technique for making that elbow. A way I was taught in HVAC metal work was to call that a flat 90/45 (curve on the long side) and a curve on the short side is called a stack 90/45 or elbow. Your welding and fab work is awesome!
15:47 The best teachers remember the nuances they developed over time, not just the broad strokes. You go a great job of pointing out these nuances so others can pick them up quicker. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and show how to do things in such detail.
THIS is why fabrication, REAL fabrication is EXPENSIVE!! GREAT JOB!
Good job. There's a lot of builds this will show a level worth the extra time. Thanks
Free knowledge!! Thank you so much. I will definitely share this video with my nephew, who is really loving fabricating and welding. Love your channel, brutha !
Karl, great tips on making these bent shapes and neat work-arounds for those of us who don't have rolls in our workshops. And, "Metal Reborn" was great too!
Thanks for the informative video!
It's so good to learn new things every time you put out new material, and you do it in the best of ways, always smiling and sharing all of your best tips, love your channel!
In a past life I was a machinist, CNC programmer and operator, fabricator, and welder. It is nice to see someone use common tools that just about anyone might have to make nice parts. Hats off to you and you get a press of both the like and subscribe buttons!
Agreed. I am setting up a tiny workshop to do sheet metal work mostly restoring old plant and equipment that I own. Learning the techniques to do this stuff by hand or with minimal equipment is invaluable because I'm never going to have all the big machinery.
You've really got a great channel here, thanks for all the hard work and to those behind the scenes as well.
Fantastic work Karl love your skills and how you present your video’s. Love how the tube bender turned out. Thank you for sharing Karl.
Love your videos man I'm doing a mechanical engineering apprenticeship atm an your videos have helped immensely with my custom jobs at work cheers bro from New Zealand
That was nice to watch over breakfast with a good coffee ☕ it maybe a little bit longer and more work, but it beats tubes that have been rolled and have wrinkles and weaknesses from being rolled. But at the end of the day you know that, that piece of fabrication won't fail. Brilliant work and I enjoyed every moment of it ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it man! Hope the coffee was good too!
Fantastic, another long contemplated mystery solved. I have wondered how those kinds of radius were done for decades. Never would have thought of making a donut out so sheet then cutting it up. Thanks for another truly educational vid.
🙏🙏🙏
Said it before, will say it again…..Karl you are a true artist AND you do a bang up job sharing your skills/ideas. My grandfather (old school Swiss-French machinist, long gone from this earth) had what he called “le système démerde”, basically figuring out how to do things outside the box when confronted with an “impossible” task (I guess I inherited it from him). Karl, you have the same mindset, I sometimes get the “I never thought of doing it that way” watching you do some things……..this is one of them! 👍👍
I like that you include welder settings. I was taught to weld stick, mig, tig and had to learn settings on my own.
Even your welds are beautiful. Almost a sin to grind them down. Carry on, we're watching and learning.
I agree but when he's finished grinding....what welds? 🤷♂️ He really does do nice work.
@@josephking6515 I actually thought he did bend some rectangle tubing at the start.
love the content and love the presentation -not everybody can afford new tools - so I appreciate how you innovate with what's available and make it work. Keep it up!
Thanks Randy! Myself included. I still can’t and won’t afford expensive tools. It’s too fun making them
Ok, so now I have to redesign my floor pan...
Thanks, you really do present some of the very best build methods that I have seen.
I joined your channel today, like 3 minutes after I started watching it, I like the commentary as you go along explaining what you're doing or you're thinking plus no crazy music that we old guys don't like. Great work!
I just came across your channel. I'm so impressed with your craftsmanship that I will be subscribing. You are very talented and look forward to seeing more of your videos.
That’s awesome RICHARD thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel!
@Richard Shaw same here.
His talent and craftsmanship makes it look easy.
I've always enjoyed watching a gifted fabricator. Fabricating from scratch was never my strong suit.
This channel is really making me feel like I'm watching a fabricator series on Discovery or History channel, it's amazing the quality you and your wife pour on these videos! The only thing "missing" is fake drama (and I don't miss it obviously)... And maybe some location drone/tripod shots to contextualize, bring the viewer on location with you... bah not necessary eh? Magnus Mitbo (climbing channel on RUclips) always include those and it's kinda cool, a little finishing touch ;-)
This is a great quality channel, and yes your wife got better as a camera operator, I remember watching previous episodes where you pointed at stuff, describing the work and the thing is juuuuust out of the frame haha!
Thanks for the feedback Greg! I don’t miss the drama either ha ha I’m glad we are getting better at it!
Love the shout out to Bello's. Watching his videos actually lead me to yours.
I appreciate you teaching us how to make intricate parts with common hand tools. I'll be trying this method very soon. 🤘
Great work dude! I think a lot of people will benefit from using the radius stepping approach ( 45deg then both 22.5deg then blend) ! I clued in on this a while back and stoked to see someone teach it!! keep up the cool vids!
"You don't *need* one. No excuses!"
Love that.
Seat of pants engineering teaches skills.
That’s right man it’s all a puzzle! And there’s always a way out
Thanks for the tip on turning up the heat so as to put less heat into the weld by doing it quicker, it’s helped me out a lot
Hi Karl, My comment is not about this video per se. But more about your channel in general. THANKS ! Great work! As an older person (59yrs) starting to do some metal work on our cars and things around the house, I have found your videos to be a fantastic source of info AND inspiration. Your video on Basic Mig Welding has been a great learning/relearning aid. Stay Positive, Test Negative! :)
Consistency of grinding a radius . That's the best tip I've heard in ages .
Thanks heaps
Epic as always. You’re a massive inspiration man - not just with the content itself but how you present it. 👊
Thanks so much man I appreciate it!
why make a 5 minute clip when.u can dribble for 25 mins.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to put out basic content for us diy’ers.
I really thought I'd fabbed up almost everything possible, this was an inspiration to keep thinking outside the box. Thanks
Thank you thank you , It’s just such a clean look . Another technic for the toolbox. You’re the man ! 👊
This is a great idea video, and in the end it looks so good to make angle bends in tubing. I know that it takes a lot of time to make each donut in the beginning, but it sure let's you make some nice looking tubing frames and so on. So thumbs up and I will be looking for more video ideas.
Be careful and stay safe.
As always, Jeffrey !!!
Man, I love your videos! I've not worked alot with sheet metal in the past and have always been intimidated by it. But I've kinda been forced to because of the rust damage on my '47 Ford truck. I dont have a big budget and alot of sophisticated tools to work with so I can really appreciate the way you work with basic everyday tools and use what you have around the shop to demonstrate how the average person like me can do the work your doing.I also like the fact that you save heavy pieces of metal. I can relate to that! Lol, I am always raiding the scrap metal bin at work looking for treasures like that because "I know one day I'll need it for something!" I especially like the way you take the time to explain all of the aspects of what and why your doing something. You dont take it for granted that everyone understands all the aspects of what your doing, thats what sets you apart from a lot of the guys out there making videos and helps someone like me begin to learn how to do this kind of work. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills with us. Your an excellent teacher and an excellent craftsman as well. Keep the videos coming! Its definitely helping me figure this stuff out! and congratulations on finding a new shop!
Thank you so much man I really appreciate this feedback. I try and think about it like I’m talking to myself at age 16 I had so many questions and didn’t know where to ask or who to ask. I don’t think RUclips is big back then
This man is a true craftsman.
Wish that I had his skills.
Great job.
Hey Karl I'm a ex welder fitter one tip to help you Karl when grinding is to always when ever possible grind the flats surfaces including perpendicular first then grind the rest afterwards. Its insures a clean grinding finish and helps you not grind too much metal away once you do this you will understand after a while exactly what I mean. cheers bud.
thats what he says to do?? but yer your both right.
“Whenever I see heavy hunks of different shapes...”. Didn’t know it was gonna be that kind of video. Hahaha
Ha ha ha you wish lol
Jimmy Diresta talks about this too, but the steel places near me don't usually have those mongo chunks you want. Wish I lived closer to a metal supplier that often has big beefy drops of respectable size.
I love how meticulous you are with everything, that is some admirable work !
Awesome to see you using PPE, without a doubt you reach teachable minds..
Very nice! I'm an amateur metal fabricator and I Rely heavily on great tips like this.
Thanks for posting your video 👍
Here I thought you were building a tool to bend the tubing, interesting
I mean that’s cool, but you might as well spend the $600 and get a bender if you have to do more than a couple of these. The time invested honestly might be worth just buying a bender. Looks like dude spent at least an hour or more on this.
Just found your channel. Very impressed with what you can do with simple tools (and a lot of skill/practice). Will definitely keep watching!
It seems like a lot of work yet the results are awesome… nice and clean. Great job
It is nice to see someone take great pride in their work!
This is perfect. I HATE angler frame notches. Years ago I did see a full size truck with a half circle and I thought that's perfect and looks killer. Years later now I hear the hard and easy way and didn't put much thought in it. THANK YOU for putting all of it together! Cheers to the family and the shop and stay warm this winter. You can't cruz in the cold damn it.
I've watched Bello,'s Kustoms quite a bit. He is good, and he really knows how to use the air hammer in different sizes. Thanks for the tip's. Ronnie.
Great video !
I was ALWAYS told that if I wanted to DO something, then Start from First Principles.
Your explanations reinforce those principles absolutely, and that is why your fabrications, not only turn out well, but LOOK GREAT as well.
I am impressed !
Thanks !
Stay safe !
Stu .
Awesome technique! Thanks for passing it along! Going to use it to build a brush guard for my Kubota RTV900
Wow. I only stumbled on this video. Brilliant work. There are lots of phenomenal things about it but the radius you ended up with...that was the phenomenalist! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and techniques
Great work as always. Clear, concise, and informative. I don't know what I would use it for, but I need to make one of those donuts.
Just found your channel. All I can say is, AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.
Finally! Somebody that uses a die grinder as a go-to tool. I love them. Very versatile. I have a powder coating shop and you wouldn't believe how many people ruin their own projects by grinding the crap out of them with an angle grinder. Less is more. Great tutorial on rounding over the edge by grinding top, side, then 45 deg. It does help to see a nice consistent radius.
If they can wreck their item with an angle grinder, then they can equally wreck it with a die grinder. When you get right down to it, they are EXACTLY the same tool.
Awesome job. You are a talented fabricator and a joy to watch and learn from.
I like your can-do attitude. I learned long ago, there is always a way. Nice job.
Teaching is one of the highest levels of human and you do it well. Thanks from a retired millwright learning welding.
i love this channel because the way you make things is always such a "oh duh, why didnt i think of that" moment. keeps the imagination going
What a great way for me to start my weekend, by watching this at 5 am on Saturday morning!!!
Thank you!
That’s awesome I’m so glad to hear it! Cheers
As a technical educator myself with over 30 years experience, I can confidently say that you are one of the best educators I have seen. It is one thing to know your trade, however to be able to not only show and tell a story but to inspire others to follow you is truely a gift ……and you have it. Follow your dream …… it will take you far further than you can imagine, I am sure.
I appreciate you covered up the sparks of the welder with your gloves !
Thanks for another great video mate, it’s great lateral thinking instead of trying to bend something straight, build something bent! Have a great day to all
Excellent tutorial on making radius bends. Absolutely the most clean way to make radius bends in HSS .
Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
Stay Real
Rick
Beautiful work and perfect instruction. You should be a teacher my friend. I also learned a ton on the mig welding sheet metal van video. Really slick tips and tricks.
Thanks very much
Donnie
Cannot wait to start putting some of this knowledge to use! Thank you
Listening to the welds, that thing is set perfect!
Good honest down to earth presentation of a Very skilled metal worker ! Thanks for the video
Excellent work! Matched the straight piece perfectly.
Always a pleasure watching you work Carl....
Awesome!!! Perfect results, impeccable explanations, and correct hear, eyes, hands... protections, so that people realises how important protections are. Thanks a lot!! 👏👏👏😉😉
Thanks for that. I had not thought of that. I had always made a mandrel and bent the tubing around it. Your way is so much cleaner. Thanks. I’m sure I‘ll be using yours in the future.
Probably the best fabrication video I've seen!
Nice work. We have used this technique on race car chassis and it creates a very strong structure. Nice tip!
What a pleasure watching someone that knows what he"s doing.
I just found your video it is great.My brother was a fabricator for years.God bless him he loved his trade. You reminded me of him.keep up the good work,and pass on your knowledge to the rest of us amatures.
Thanks Richard!
Totally awesome thank you. Great teacher
74 years old and learning
So this is exactly what ive been looking for! I have an idea for a simple rectangle tube motorcycle build!
You have skills, you explained things well...... you earned my follow. I look forward to not only seeing what you will do next, but looking back at everything you have already done!
Right on Scott welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching
just wanted to say thank you for your beginner level welding videos i have been able to begin to learn the whip and pause with good success i have not been able to break a weld yet. they are not real pretty but they withstand being bent almost double and restraightened without breaking. i'm 63 never struck an arc in my life. I LOVE your way of explaining things so I can understand them. hopefully the trike that i'm attempting to build will be a better build because of your videos. THANKS AGAIN
I loved the welds you got out of that little 110 mig. Proved you dont need the big guns as you said to achieve a quality weld in this sized material. Makes me excited to use my Hobart 140 I just picked up. ✌
Thanks for the helpful tips. A lot nicer finish than slotting and welding
Awesome video again.
So much respect for your ability and knowledge
I made some cowl braces for a custom bodied roadster by pie-cutting 1" square tubing with a 1" spacing. It was at least as much work and it didn't come out any where near as nice. I plan to build a '27T track roadster this winter and I will need braces for the cowl at the windshield and firewall and also for the track nose. This technique will work great! Thanks for the lesson!
This dude is an artist , with a tonne of confidence . Well done, keep on dotting the I's and crossing the T's . Make that money .
Nice work and made with common tools and great instructions. Thank you.
Love the way you made up that tube man. This way you don't need to be spending thousands and thousands of dollars on a big fancy bender. Great video!!!!
Nice to see a craftsman at work!
Yes lots of work but your finished product looks absolutely beautiful!!!! Very nice, I’ll be watching you more!!!
So simple and so obvious but still had to be shown. Great video, thanks.
