    Yep, keep em Rollin' out Ryan... boilermaker of 20years learning with every episode on this channel. I love that you don't have any million dollar tooling and it's predominantly manual machinery or improvised self made tooling. It's more than just the medium that you use, it's the tooling that's interesting too!

    I don’t really work metal, but I had a couple bends in the edge of my rear fender on my motorcycle that I was able to flatten out with the first shrinking method from this video. Thank you!

    The in depth-videos like this one are amazing. I want to eventually get good at bodywork on cars, as to keep them on the road/out of the scrapyard. Now that is a complex thing of course, and I'm nowhere near that level, but videos like these really help me visualize the type and amount of work it would take to do certain repairs, as well as how to go about it. So far, this is the only channel where I've found this kind of in-depth metalworking specifically applied to cars, and I'm really grateful for your guys' content!

    So good to see in-depth how this is done, and have a clear explanation of what you're aiming to achieve and why you're doing each step. Also great seeing multiple ways of achieving the same thing. Keep 'em coming!

    Awesome video my dude! Never would’ve thought it would be shrinking when hammer forming but your description helped me see how that works.

    I used to work with metal , but it was generally done with heavy-duty equipment . We took rolls of flat steel and turned it into things like corrugated siding and flashing for construction . And since nothing is ever perfectly straight in construction . We had to use some stretching and shrinking techniques . But like I said all of it was done with heavy-duty equipment . The brake that we used was probably the smallest tool . And it was 25 ft wide , with hydraulics running it instead of your arm .

    Dont know why i dont get all your video's at time of release when im on all notifications. I had to go searching for this one. It's probably a little late now but yes more of these videos like this please. I would like to know more about plannishing hammering. Why do the cheap ones use a rubber top lip? How much pressure to apply, and then handheld ones. What surprised me was the weight of one a saw being used to do a roof section. I thought the weight would be a detrimental force to the area. Thanks guys.

    Great tutorial video! While shaping, how much stretching and shrinking will you use?
    Please go ahead with the cheap machines, since those are the ones non-professionals may buy.

    • @CrucibleCoachworks
      @CrucibleCoachworks  9 месяцев назад

      Really depends on what I’m making. I try to use a good balance between shrink/stretch to avoid the material getting too thin.
      And sounds good! 🤝🏻

    • @richardprice7299
      @richardprice7299 9 месяцев назад +1

      The piece you are making will tell you what it needs, if spots need more shrinking or stretching in spots, it's just about getting to the point where you can look/feel the metal and understand what is happening
