I started using Weiss snips in 1977 when an old guy said they were the only ones to use. I’ve had a number of them over the last 47 years. They cut the best. How could anyone get by working on metal without a good set of sheet metal hammers? Now I don’t beat on sheet metal for a living, I do it best enjoy it. Building a T Bucket by hand right now, including the steel body panels. Great video and advice!
Came across this video while contemplating using some sheet metal for my jet sim cockpit I am going to build. This video gave me the confidence to go for it! Thanks for the video.
Just gotta say bro. Your stuff is dope. Found my new dude. I learn by watching. RUclips is great when we have people like you and tips for what you would do in a situation.
I have no background in using metal tools. :( I want to put about a half-inch lip bend to a round cymbol. Is there a tool I could try to do this? Many thanks. Another broke bastard.
Starting over or redoing takes up alot of time. Im a Welder-Fabricator at my job. So im semi experienced at this stuff. But i have been debating on building my own rat rod from scratch.
@@BrokeBastardGarage ok. Good to know. I have been searching for a good frame to go off of as of right now. Im thinking a truck frame from a dodge would be best as i like old school mopar cummins
Might find one online and reverse engineer em urself. Its what i would do to save on overall cost. As you will make mistakes regardless of how good you are.
I see you have ear-pro, so I can tell that you care about safety. It surprises me that you aren't wearing gloves while cutting sheet metal by hand however. You had a near miss when you finish that right hand radial cut. You should see if you can partner with a brand and see if you can't have the gloves benefit you as a sponsor somehow. I'm a team lead (and welder) in a factory setting and I have seen plenty of hand injuries, some permanent. Please wear gloves. If not for yourself, do it for the young people who watch this content.
Great job brother I would buy the hammers just cause people love to tell you what want or dont work for them cause people love to control others or make things harder for the next person. I dont understand but this is my opinion alot of people are always trying to COMPETE, when all some people are trying to do is keep things as simple as can be for their families or in their own lives. Yahuah will barrack(bless) you for this for helping someone, in the name of Yahusha so be it SHALOM ta ya.
Yellow are a pointless tool. You can cut straigh with right or left and waste either side with both depending on which way you snip, pulling up or pushing down. Also wiss suck. Just my 2
The hand brakes are no good if youre using sheet metal of any decent thickness. Yellow snips are never used. Shears are a luxury, not necessary. Grinder and bandsaw get used way more often in day to day use. The hammer and dolly set, is this guy trolling?
I would be interested in seeing your take on rivets and rivet guns.
Man it's the little tips people don't know about.. thank you for teaching us!

Could you do a video on them hammers and dollys. I have the basics but would like to know what each hammer can really do. Thanks
I agree I use my hammers all the time shaping different panels
Never used yellows...dont need them....reds can cut straight if you know how 2 uae them...
Yellow ones make good wire cutters.

ozzynomicon I also have work as a welder an fabricator for many years. This is my first ground up build. Got to say it’s a bigger job than I thought.
@@BrokeBastardGarage ok. Good to know. I have been searching for a good frame to go off of as of right now. Im thinking a truck frame from a dodge would be best as i like old school mopar cummins
ozzynomicon sounds like a good place to start
I LIKE IT.
They have life time warranty on wiss can't u warranty and how
great vid!
Yellows are for the trash can
🤣🤣🤣 damn right! I'm a tinner, and it's right offsets all the way. Blue bulldog snips for thicker metal.
Nice gloves
Great info Thanks!!!
TIME FOR A TOOLBOX UPGRADE.

What gauge sheet metal are you cutting same as needed for patch panels
18 ga
@@BrokeBastardGarage Ok thats what i thought but wasn't sure
New sub you have a good channel your video on mall Crawlers got it👍🤙
Midwest dee best
Wiss tin snips are the best. I've used many brands but none ever compare to Wiss.
Midwest all the way imo
Midwest is better but more expensive. Sometimes you can find them cheapish on eBay but they’re definitely best of the best
@@guillermoduran3735 hell yes. Menards is carrying them now. I go through about 2 every 10 months.
Invest in some Midwest tin snips.. those Wiss snips you have are terrible
👍🏻
Throw WISS in the garbage! Them MIDWEST offsets are more expensive but are far better snips. cuts cleaner, lasts longer, and dont open as wide
