Hey Karl, I so enjoy watching you do your stuff. You know what you want or expect from materials and tools. You do not accept anything but perfection. Thank you for making the great videos you bring to us. Work Safe, Be Well Enjoy Life
Karl it's really nice lookin real good. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge Lit. Keep Making. God bless.
Wowie McZowie! Skill and artistry. Stunning design and fabrication. I am awed! Go Japhands, Keep moving forward and can't wait to see what's coming next!
Karl you are bloody klever. You would make a great Trade School teacher. You’re likeable you speak well and you know what you are doing. I’m very impressed with you.
Artistry at it's very best. You, Karl, are a craftsman with a talent not many people can achieve. Watching you with your skill is mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing Mate. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.
Hi Karl. Maybe you should think about making those metal shaping stakes to sell. Just get them cast off. And people who buy them can clean them up. Just a thought.
I take great pleasure watching both the shape and form come together as you work the sheet. I've really seen a lot come out in your detail work. Lot's of patience displayed in every bit of time. This piece has really come together, I didn't see it until it just fell into place in the end. Thanks for some great detailed explanations. This grill piece is really shaping up beautifully!
I just wanted to let you know. I have tried the 3M cubitron II Roloc 3 inch 36 gtit. Lasts a long time sanding metal down. Thank you for introducing this product on your channel. Cheers
@Make It Kustom Thanks for another great video, with yet another fantastic piece of "sheet metal sculpting". But I must admit that I feel a bit intimidated by how easy and straight forward You make it all appear. :) Best regards.
Make it Kustom ART Karl Fisher. It's cool you share your thought process and mistakes it's all part of the creative adventure. I needed a chill day so I watched some old Karl Videos and loved the Baby Buick build , Man that plasma speeds up Prototyping. I regret selling my 46 Chevy pickup when moving interstate. I Freaken Lurve that 46 Chev Cab over Tow Truck and the road trip with Benny to California.
Just shows you how much work and time goes into small pieces. Noticed it took about 3.5 to 4 hrs (going by the clock on your wall) to do that piece. Love learning from you even at my age of 50. Wished I had done fabrication metalwork when I was a kid. Cheers
I was thinking after looking at what you are doing for the umpteenth time and it dawned on me; the grill splitter may be more uniform with the windshield frame if it were inverted with the bulkier portion at the bottom like the WS frame and the more delicate portion at the top also like the WS frame.
So the thing with using a piece of rod or pipe in the brake to make a curved bend 11:34 ish. I was taught that one slightly differently, and in a way that’d be easier to reproduce. You weld a piece of flat bar to the rod/tube, grip that in the brake with your sheet metal underneath, and then adjust the moving part of the brake down so you’ve got clearance to fold around the round form. Assuming your brake has this sort of adjustment. For bigger curves, like using scaffold pole as the form, you’d cut the round former in half to allow it to sit closer to the lip of the brake. (Words are hard, picture’d be simpler :D ) Not that I’m claiming to some metal shaping expertise, that’s probably my one trick!
I have only had a play on those Magnetic clamping folders. And they are really good for putting pipes in the fold zone for perfect radius'$ curves 12.7mm to 42mm 🇦🇺
Yeah, I could see that working much better. In fact, I’m sure mine moved because it was ready right it had less surface area to touchdown less clamping force on the rod to keep it from moving.
Karl, another great job 😮. I took your advice and I am building a bead roller of your design, changed a couple of things, making the shafts out of model A DRIVE SHAFTS that are 1 1/8 “ in diameter, making the rolls so the will adjust to give me different profiles. Would like to send you pictures when I am done , how can I do that so you will get them? Once again thanks for all your knowledge.
Awesome work as always, bro it started to look like you was making a tesla emblem for a minute. 😂 keep it up and congrats on your hammer and kit, thats sweet stuff. Love how you share your skills and oopses with us too!
Fantastic work. Wonder if you could move the car closer so you don’t have to walk so much. Looking forward to the next video to get ideas on solving a problem on some fenders.
Maybe the name of this A should be the Norseman. As others have said didn’t think you could improve a 32 grill. But your vision and artistic eyes can see more than most. Take care. Tim.

Billy , you are too kind! I appreciate you very much and I’m very lucky to do what I do
Attention to detail is amazing Carl, love the idea and craftsmanship. JOE
Nice job!
A beautiful piece of metal art you have created.
Nice work, impressive,
I was skeptical of the split idea, I wanted to like it but couldn't envision it. As its coming together... ABSOLUTELY KILLER!
Thanks glad you see it!
Awesome work!
Hi Karl. Maybe you should think about making those metal shaping stakes to sell.
Just get them cast off. And people who buy them can clean them up. Just a thought.
Yes, I thought about creating them!
You should mount a Dane Axe coming out the top/front of that top piece.
Great job Quinn , really enjoy your video's , I learn something every time , thank you
Nice grille and the metal working is first class as it fits
I take great pleasure watching both the shape and form come together as you work the sheet. I've really seen a lot come out in your detail work. Lot's of patience displayed in every bit of time.

Well done Ricky! I really liked this one! Looking forward to see it take final shape! Profiles are spot on
Carl I’ve warned you in the past! You looking like a professional of 40+ years!
That piece was amazing! 😟
@Make It Kustom
Thanks for another great video, with yet another fantastic piece of "sheet metal sculpting".
But I must admit that I feel a bit intimidated by how easy and straight forward You make it all appear. :)
Best regards.
Once you understand what’s happening it’s Easter to see what you need to do next. It’s like learning a language
Excellent job Karl Looks great
Make it Kustom ART Karl Fisher. It's cool you share your thought process and mistakes it's all part of the creative adventure.
I needed a chill day so I watched some old Karl Videos and loved the Baby Buick build , Man that plasma speeds up Prototyping. I regret selling my 46 Chevy pickup when moving interstate. I Freaken Lurve that 46 Chev Cab over Tow Truck and the road trip with Benny to California.
Right on glad you enjoyed those videos! You’re definitely right about the Plasma it’s essential
looks like you have had a clear out to make room like my workshop got a bit cluttered the grill looks good 😎👌🤘
Clearing out helps clear mind
Bloody legend!! Just love watching this brilliant man work
good job man 👍💪
Some amazing metal forming. You have a talent for making the metal do what you want it to do. Love the way the split grill is coming out great job.
Just shows you how much work and time goes into small pieces. Noticed it took about 3.5 to 4 hrs (going by the clock on your wall) to do that piece. Love learning from you even at my age of 50. Wished I had done fabrication metalwork when I was a kid. Cheers
Amazing work Carl!!
We call it a una shear, excellent tool for cutting metal. Use one for decades.👍
Funny how speeded up video demonstrates the movement of the metal better than real time. Nice clip.
Slap hands has got talent he's an artist who's medium is metal.
I believe you meant "Jap Hands"! 😂
👍
✌
F Awesome! I think you should think about a little something on the hood between the windscreen and the grill????
Are you thinking like a peak?
@@MakeItKustom yes maybe a peak to tie the to feature together or is it to much?
I was thinking after looking at what you are doing for the umpteenth time and it dawned on me; the grill splitter may be more uniform with the windshield frame if it were inverted with the bulkier portion at the bottom like the WS frame and the more delicate portion at the top also like the WS frame.
I love my makita shear as well.I hope you enjoyed your trip down under

Amazing Job! Congrats from Brazil!

Nice been working on a 37 model a aswell

Yeah David, I tried with one of those as well and holy they are incredible
You sure do some nice work.👍

That’s so cool! I love the changes
I'm liking it, nice going
Nice work on a difficult piece
Karl! I realy think that the straps, in the mother tucker kit, are not needed, I’m like, if a person is in to fabricating, they can make the straps.
Yeah, I’m sure they could make the straps. But it’s just so easy when you can just roll into a lumber yard and grab chunks of wood and be ready to go
Awesome job
Nice work!
Nice job 👍
Awesome work as always, bro it started to look like you was making a tesla emblem for a minute. 😂 keep it up and congrats on your hammer and kit, thats sweet stuff. Love how you share your skills and oopses with us too!
Yes mad fabrication all round
Fantastic work. Wonder if you could move the car closer so you don’t have to walk so much. Looking forward to the next video to get ideas on solving a problem on some fenders.
Always great videos but let's see how you designed, made and installed you rear cantilevers on your shop rod.
Maybe the name of this A should be the Norseman. As others have said didn’t think you could improve a 32 grill. But your vision and artistic eyes can see more than most. Take care. Tim.
doesn't get much better than that :)

looking amazing!, it may need a kustom hood ornament?
Couldn't help but notice the 2"X72" belt sander in the background. Did you build it yourself? If so maybe you could make an episode on building one.
