Well said. It is also possible to see people's knowledge increase via their posts on social media over time. Find a single poster, then read all their posts. It does not take long to tell who is posting as opposed to one who is learning over time.
what a nice talk. on learning welding, i watched a lot of welding in the shipyard, and i learned a lot but you don't know how to weld until you have welded your weight in rods. i found a lot of guys won't read or read and can't comprehend what they are reading, they want to rely on school of hard knocks skills instead. like you said, "you do nice work but you could do better" they won't use all the resources offered. i bring all sorts of books to the shop and few read or even look in th
Once again, a HUGE thank you for all your efforts, talent, and communication ! Excellent ps . . . the format of"school" with resource books and an apple for the teacher was classic!! thanks again.
The video started running and my wife says “Hi Bill”. So do I. Great to see your video portfolio growing with such substantial & relevant content. Very, very cool. Thank you, Bill.
@@williamtromblay6795 we missed seeing you at Jim’s last month. Life keeps happening. It’s great to see you helping other people grow, Bill. You have a special gift and it speaks volumes to see you sharing it with others. That’s real what Masters do. Very cool.
Thanks Bill for a well delivered conversation on not only how to start out or improve metal shaping skills and knowledge but how to be a decent human being while doing it. I personally have to rely on books and “RUclips University “ as living in Perth, Western Australia we are regarded as the most remote capital city on earth and metal shaping tuition is not plentiful, travel to other parts of the world to find it is costly. So when I find a channel like yours with tuitions and conversations delivered by someone with your technical knowledge I’m sitting up and paying close attention to the teacher.
Bill, I learned by the "reading a book" way. That first book I read was from Ron Fournier back in the mid '80's when I was building race cars. I've been honing those skills ever since.You gotta start somewhere, and that's where my humble skills began. Keep it up.
I think its funny how you have not shown us how to make any panels on your videos. But I think I have learned so much about metalshaping in a different way. I always look forward to your next video and contents .You are a fantastic communicator so please keep them coming .
Hi Bill, First of all, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, in such an in-depth and educational way. I'm just an amateur who likes to do things, mostly for myself. My interest started sometime in the late 80s. So in the early 90s (before the internet) I ordered John Glover's VHS tape "Making a Ford model A fender". After this I made myself an "English Wheel" inspired by John Glover. John's lower wheels had a flat track, not a full lower radius wheel. So I made my wheels that way, but many years later Peter T explained why full radius was best, which I agree with. But, I can't stop thinking what was John's point with that, are there times when it's an advantage? Hope you have some explanation for this! Yes, I am an introverted person..... Best regards Jorgen Olofsson Sweden
Hi, I agree with Peter on the full radius anvils. I always had trouble with "Flat" wheels causing marking. The only advantage that I know of, is it allows you to have a wider tracking pattern. Thx Bill
Great presentation! Future content suggestion: how to minimize warping when tig welding rather large and relatively flat panels...sheet metal butt joints. With the given that you are never going to have a perfect fit up joint and may not be sitting at some nice giant table with everything jig'd up and a foot pedal in a convenient spot on the floor. And you probably won't have easy access to the back side after the weld is done. Thank you!
...taking criticism is so key in learning. I recall years ago, my advanced photography class at a local State University, was taught in the 6 year Graduate of Brooks Institute from California. He had criticked my first photography assignment with a threatening failure, which made me toughen up, only to advance to be the only one in the class to "Ace" it. I will never forget that unforseen learning tool that is not in books...take criticsm!
Excellent advice Bill and much appreciated, You might consider covering what you would consider a good choice of initial equipment for someone just starting out in metal shaping for one of you videos. In my opinion some tools that are not too expensive but are absolutely necessary, while others may be very expensive but not absolutely necessary. It's very easy when just starting to put together a metal shaping shop to be overwhelmed by the rarity of some of the older machines seen in well equipped shops and their expense when found. We often assume that because these well equipped shops have these machines they are necessary when starting out. What do you think?
Cass’s book is next to impossible to find these days. You are totally right though. Read the book and put it into practice. Then you will fully understand.

Hi, it was interesting to hear you talk about this topic. Can you please let us know where to get hold of a copy of John Glover's The English Wheeling Machine, if it is still available?
thanks again for another informative video William. could you though, tell us more about the Jim Heary (sp) metal meet? is it open to all shapers/students? cheers.
Hi. The event is open to all levels of shapers. His event is always in laye August. I recommend you follow All Metal Shaping forum for future Metal meet event dates.
I hope you are well. Visiting your channel I have seen your all videos and content are very good but your video SEO optimization is not professional. Perhaps you are busy for managing the channel

That was incredibly interesting, and not all of it was easy to listen to. But I have to say I need to watch that again. With my notepad and pen.
Bill - thank you for another EXCELLENT video! You covered many fine points here, and I know many people will benefit.
Thank you

@@williamtromblay6795 Thanks I think you probably have some very useful insights on something that I have been dealing with for a long time
Good shit! Now I need to practice for little more than 16 hours 😁
😂 😉

Hi matey, I purchased mine last year second edition too. Do a search on the full title and google books comes up. Go from there.
Hi, there are few copies left, last I heard. Let me know if you need one and I will check on it.
Another great video thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it

The apple is a nice touch
