- This is a quick video i made of my process of making a aluminum motorcycle fender by hand. Hope this helps a little for anyone who may want to try to make one !
Sorry for the 50 million times I say "um uh" in the video
I'm not use to explaining how I make things as I'm making them.
Great video. That was so helpfull . I immediately went out back with the chainsaw and cut a block dry 8 in tree trunk. Wittled botto to fit in vice outside and then cut out bowl on top. I used 4 1/2 inch sheet metal and hammered fender out after rounding out my rubber hammer. My english wheel took out the bumps. Paint covered up the rest. Very happy i found your video. I give you a handshake and a thumbs up. Made my day.
No fluff, all info. Thank you so much. Best video I’ve found on making fenders
I wouldn’t apologize, ya did a great job with your video, and the New England accent, I was raised in Boston, and have lived for 34 years in Pennsylvania, and still have that Boston accent, makes me feel like I was listening to a buddy back home 😊 nice job on the fender........
Lmao I was like hey am I bugging or is he from new England. I'm 15 min south of boston myself. Where you from?
I 3-d printed a fender with a flange on each side. I then made a thick fiberglass mold of it that I use to pound it out. It’s very simple and the form makes an identical perfect fender everytime.
Don't complain about the quality of vid when the content is top quality. Great video and look forward to seeing more, by the way very eloquent and nothing wrong with your accent mate, keep up the great work, Joe
Excellent video, no need to apologize for who you are.
One of the best videos on this subject. Thanks mate.
This is brilliant , thank you
Thanks, I was talking about the curve of the fender ( trying to make it conform to the curve of the tire ) . I did hammer it some more and I see that seems to be working. Thanks for your video and thanks for getting back to me. 👍
Very good my friend
Thanks for the great tutorial!
Very good nice
Good job
Very helpful video! Thanks, Doug
Great video, you make it look so easy!
Thanks alot of trial and error along the way but I think I can do these small ones fairly quick considering it's all hand done without power machines. Pullmax machine would probably cut the time in half though 😅
Super. Thanks!
That helped me out a lot. Thank you.
Very good one !!!
This video was just what I was looking for, Tanks
Great job
Nice bro !
It look so easy 😑
But for me not easy !
You are good skills
Great video
Good job man...
Excelente trabajo, felicidades por tu habilidad y gracias por hacer y compartir el video...
No need to apologise for the video,it was very informative.
What aluminum alloy and thickness do you recommend?
good job maan..!
Great vidoe thanks alot!
Thank you for your video, I am new to forming metal this way and work primarily with stainless steel, would this same concept work with a 20 gauge stainless and how long does something like the fender take to makes. recently purchased an English wheel
Wow very nice
Great video!! My questions is, now would you add a ducktail to a fender ?
How do I increase the arc so it goes with the tire diameter? I rolled it then hammered it , wheeled it and it’s a bit too flat. Do I hammer it more to curve it? Then wheel it again?
You can use a shrinker on the edges to tighten the radius back up. If you are talking about the depth from side to side then yes hammer some more to make it deeper then wheel out again.
awsome thank you
Stop apologizing. Looks good.
can you make a tutorial about the rear fender honda cb 125
What did you grease your upper wheel with? Looks like it's got a lot of easy free moment in it. You can see it going well after your done using the wheel.
Where are u located ? Could you make a custom MC cafe racer seat for me .
Excellent instruction. What did you use to form the bowl in the stump?
Great video! What English wheel are you using and what hammer? Thanks man this is very helpful
Thanks
Doesn't the fender need a bead around the edges to give it strength
A really informative video 👌 would this work just the same in copper ? Thanks
I never worked with copper it I would think so.
What are the material thickness ? thanks a lot
Thankyou so much bro
thank you

What's the regular english wheel sizes (lower and the upper) you use the most for building the fenders ??
Upper wheel is an 8" diameter wheel 2" wide. The lowers I have are your basic 4pc set you get usually when you buy the wheel.
I use the 2nd to the most crown one in the set for the long vertical wheeling then I use the flattest wheel for the short horizontal wheeling if that makes sense.
Can you make me a fender for my bobber ive just finished building
Es aluminio?
Great video. You add 3/4 inch to the width do you do the same for the length?
With the length is actuallly grows so if you cut the piece to length, when your done it generally adds an inch.
So as an example, if you cut a 15" piece it will be around 16"-16.5" in length when your done.
what thickness is the aluminum?
have you made a tank for gasoline?
Thanks for the vid
awesome
So can this process be used to make a smaller tighter and longer mudguard for the Honda Monkey 125 that fits close to the tyre and is much longer, with a good amount of coverage sideways?
It would need to fit a toroidal “Hammerform”, or inflated innertube shape, 18.5” od and 5” wide. And to get a decent coverage the flat sheet would need to be 7” wide and 23” long
Hi roger
Sorry for the delayed response. I dont always catch u tube notifications. Anyway yes I think I could make a fender for that type of tire and be able to at least cover all the tread. If the fenders needs to have deep straight sides, I usually weld and blend side panels on them.
I have managed to hammer a sheet of aluminium into the shape I want!! I need to plannish out the blemishes caused by “wrinkle” shrinking the edges, so some kind of wooden hammerform and millions of tiny hits with the hammer, then sanding, then polishing!
Hey there, what do you call that piece of roller used in the process? Really need to know what’s it called we need one for the shop. Thanks
Do you mean the English Wheel?
How much time do you think you have in that fender
I average about an hour and a half for a 5"×15" fender from start to finish.
@@aaronrichard75 thanks for the info looks great
Congratulations on the video ... the best I saw with your explanations ... what is the thickness of the aluminum plate? and if it is to do with carbon steel
thickness plate should you use?
Hi
I use .063 For these aluminum fenders. I've used as thick as .090 depending how big and the style of fender.
Steel is tougher to shape by hand.
If I make fenders from steel most I could use is 18g. Anything thicker you really need power hammers to move the metal.
do you soften the alum before shaping?
Bennie, i do aneal the aluminum. If you are hand hammering it makes things easier. The aluminum work hardens back up from hammering and wheeling. I use 3003 h14 which is hardened unlike say 1100/0 pure aluminum which is not hardened.
It also depends on the thickness of sheet your using and if your trying to put alot of shape into it.
Do a search on anealing aluminum.
Plenty of how to videos .
What thickness do you use for genders?
@@benniecantrell6901 it depends how they will be mounted and the size of the fender, Short cafe fenders usually .063 but longer wider fenders i use .080 . It also depends what customer prefers as well if their trying to keep weight down.
Also say if you plan on beadrolling or putting in a wire edge , you can use the .063.

Nice work! Like,sup,coment and go find me stump! When you make a new stump for yourself make a video. Do you sand out the depression or bang it in,? So many stump questions?
SIR CAN USE STEEL METAL
Yes I can make them from 18g steel as well.
How thick is the metal?
Its .063 aluminum . I also use .080 for seats and tanks
Thank you
Ugh, can't anyone make a fender out of steel???
Sure it's the same process just different material. You also can't anneal steel so it will be much harder to hammer to shape by hand. You should try it and feel the difference in your arms when your done 😊
@@aaronrichard75 I understand all that which is why I am asking why we can't see videos of people making fenders out of steel. Not everyone wants aluminum on their cars. BTW I have tried it and again that's why I'd like to see videos of people doing it so I can get tips!
Process is basically the same when doing it by hand either way. Steel is just more labor intensive. Unless you have advance metalshaping tools/machines to help move the steel easier and quicker.
thank you
