Karl does some amazing stuff alone, let alone he takes some time out of his already booked schedule to show us all how things can still be done with simple tools. Love it!
The brilliance of this video is in how well it shows how very doable metal shaping is. You could actually take a flat piece of sheet metal and make it look like the Hulk hit it from the inside with a fist. Or a face or just ten fingers, or how about the imprint of a cartoon coyote on the front of a car? You see what I mean? This is what an inspiring video looks like. It makes people come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Thanks !
For euro heads, 18 gauge is 1.2mm, 19 gauge is 1.0mm. Awesome work Karl! What I really love is how Karl explains things so a non metal worker can understand without problems.
That was really amazing to witness! Flat piece of steel to nearly perfect match compound curve in less than an hour, and mostly in real time too. Excellent work Karl! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could join you and the others in class. Maybe next year...
Karl your an amazing fabricator. Your just amazing . Your great at teaching the skill of fabrication. And you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing ! 💯👊👍
This is awesome - i’m one for the comfort of narration, so was loving this vid - more talk, essential timelapses for brevity, superb info as always - this format has great flow for me at least. Excellent work and great tips - i have a reverse curve for rusted wheel-arch on my Humber Super Snipe to handle soon and simple as it seems i’ve been procrastinating - thankyou for the kick in the butt Karl 👍🏻
See I learned something new again, I've been using to much pressure on my english wheel. Even after 40 years experience you still teach me something new
Thank you very much for a wonderful video, I appreciate your & Elio taking the time to show the skills needed, and your editing/voice over when needed. Great Stuff.
Very interesting and informative. Answered a lot of my stumbling around inexperience of shaping metal. What few times in my life I needed to do it. So I just gave up,wish I could have saw this video some 40 odd years ago.Thanks for this video. Never to late to teach an old dog tricks.
I've been a lot of metal patching on cars but this was great information I don't have all these tools I'm old school I've made a lot of different panels and they turned out all right not like yours but I did learn a lot watching this
I mentioned the class at our car club meeting. A few of them want to learn about it as well. Im hoping to find someone local to share knowledge. Im not nearly good enough to pass it along. For those that have never tried this, its an absolute game changer. And that Mother Tucker Hammer,mind blowing how well it works. Worth every penny!!! I have one of those transfer gauges,to match wheel to panel. Dont have a radius gauge..
Karl An Elio absolutely amazing work as always. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon guys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
Some wheel in one direction because your body's ability to push and pull require different muscles. This means your force angle will be different even in the most ambidextrous arms to ever wheel a panel. You could very well be rolling the panel in one direction and flattening out the panel in the other direction. If you only wheel in one direction, you've just reduced your chances of error by 50% You're not going to find a better technique to eliminate issues. The down side is the panel takes twice as long to do in certain situations.
Thank you so much man for taking your time and share your hard and long acquired know how with us curious hobbiests. You are great. And your humble attitude adds another 10 points to these videos. I think i love you :)))
Why u teaching people the poor old skool way. Just want to know. Really appreciate it. It makes welder so kool like a carpenter and mechanic and no combine. God bless da welder
@MakeItKustom - Carl, any chance of maybe doing a RUclips short where shrinking and stretching is demonstrated but using a micrometer to show how many thousandths of an inch in change there is at a certain place? Love the videos, I've learned quit a bit. Thanks
I believe that you explain why a wee bit different than Jordan that transplanted Canuck- he is definitely a more artsy builder ( not a bad thing at all, I can copy but to be totally new with ideas isn’t in my genetic makeup) so he is definitely a wonderful source for new moves, but his latest foray has him stretching modelA axles like Superman on a good day. Your old school thinking in my mind is about the how versus why- definitely compliment each. And you both always so positive it’s a good mentoring for a crusty 72 year old mechanic.
i like the metal shear you have i have never seen one for sale in the uk the only metal cutter is the electric one like you have have a good time on your project 😎👌✌
I think your work is amazing, I also saw you at a local fabrication shop in Australia called MotorRetro…. May I ask, when you build, modify chassis etc, how do you get all this approved for roadworthy regulations as it’s very strict here in Australia … cheers and keep up the good work!
Lots of great info for us amateurs, I bet even experienced metal workers pick something up. Awesome. Since my C10 is almost done it'll come in handy on the next project.
Hi Karl, I have been watching you for years and you have inspired me to get out to the shop and try things. I have a question... could you use a stationary planishing hammer in place of the English wheel for metal shaping like in this video?

Karl, thanks for taking your time that you could be working on your projects to help us learn, much appreciated!

Excellent work Karl! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could join you and the others in class. Maybe next year...
I love how you can hear the difference in tone as the wheel planishes the sheet out. Ribbed to smooth. Well captured at 51:30 to 52:00
Hand tools - and an English Wheel, which almost none of us own or have access to. Informative, despite the headline. Thanks!
Karl your an amazing fabricator. Your just amazing . Your great at teaching the skill of fabrication. And you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing ! 💯👊👍
I love the basic hand tool videos. I like the exotic fabricating machine videos too though. Always useful content in here.
What a beautiful, simple piece of work! Thank you Karl.
Beautiful combination of art, science and skill. Very impressive.
Always great content for Carl and Elio. Many thanks guys.

Great video! You make it look so easy. I am amazed at how smooth the metal is.
I just got my tickets! The stars aligned and I'm in the area with time off on those exact dates. Couldn't be more excited, see you next week.
Thanks for your contributions Fisher.
You’re so welcome William! Thanks for your support!
Dude you make it look so easy , you never know what you can do unless you try . Please give my condolences to Rick , Ron was a good man.

Wow, you are incredible both as a craftsman and teacher!
Super informative for a garden sculpture I'm designing. Thanks from Colorado.

Very good info. You make excellent videos for us beginners.
What a skill!
So cool you can manipulate metal like that with just a nylon hammer and a bit of know how….nice work 👌👍
Why u teaching people the poor old skool way. Just want to know. Really appreciate it. It makes welder so kool like a carpenter and mechanic and no combine. God bless da welder

That class is a great experience.
Stoked you enjoyed it Phillip 👊
Excellent tutorial, as usual, Karl. Thanks mate.
Great instruction. Always looking forward to the next one.
I always learn something watching your videos, thanks 👍
I've done a bit of metal-shaping for my cars, by way of necessity. And I will say that he makes it look easier than it was (at least for me). 😉
Thank you very much, I learn a lot!
Great details on shrinking tucks, def will archive this episode. Thank You!
@MakeItKustom - Carl, any chance of maybe doing a RUclips short where shrinking and stretching is demonstrated but using a micrometer to show how many thousandths of an inch in change there is at a certain place? Love the videos, I've learned quit a bit. Thanks
That’s a good idea
Excellent educational video!! Nice job Karl!! Take care!
I wanna see Elio make something. Hes getting the best education being with you all the time
Thanks for sharing, always interesting! Thank you!

Thank you for the useful video
i like the metal shear you have i have never seen one for sale in the uk the only metal cutter is the electric one like you have have a good time on your project 😎👌✌
Are you referring to his Beverley Shear?
Great video, Thanks!
I think your work is amazing, I also saw you at a local fabrication shop in Australia called MotorRetro…. May I ask, when you build, modify chassis etc, how do you get all this approved for roadworthy regulations as it’s very strict here in Australia … cheers and keep up the good work!
Great work.
Seem to be the same principals of armour making ❤
Great video and really informative, keep them coming!
Very cool
Watching you is like watching a great magician, except the magician is explaining exactly how to do all his tricks while he does them!
Another Awesome video Karl
Great stuff!!!! I'm learning plenty...
I love that shear,,👍👍👍.terrific video ...
bom demais tu é fera e muito caprichoso
Lots of great info for us amateurs, I bet even experienced metal workers pick something up. Awesome.

Good stuff again!
A M A Z I N G !
Excellent
Awesome video ,very informative! Thanks Karl!
Great tutorial...ordering my MTH and stump kit now
Right on Mike thanks for your order!!!
I love seeing how you take a smooth sheet of metal, make it rounded and lumpy just to make it rounded and smooth. At 60yo, I'd be exhausted. LOL!
Proper job 💚🇬🇧🌱as per usual Mr fisher👍👍👍
& that shear is awesome dude💚🇬🇧🌱
Great video. Fascinating 👌
Some kind of sourcery. 👍
Nice going, Karl
You're right about that shear cost. I found a used one for $500 US.
Nice!!!
I learnt something out of that one that was excellent thank you Carl Fisher
Hi Karl, I have been watching you for years and you have inspired me to get out to the shop and try things. I have a question... could you use a stationary planishing hammer in place of the English wheel for metal shaping like in this video?
