It is a privilege to watch quietly while someone who knows what he is doing does it masterfully , I hope you have an apprentice who is learning your skills .
It's interesting coming back to these videos and your DVD's after working in the trade for years. I see a lot of details I didn't pick up the first time, because my experience level wasn't there yet. There is a wealth of information in this one video alone, thank you Peter!
Thank you keep watching all the others you tube video's for more info's .You can also buy others instructional dvd's from 1 to 10 simply visit my web site
@Handbuilt1 that's greT Peter, thank you and looking forward to them. I know what you mean with the vad shoulder mate. I have only been playing at it up to now, and it is very hard work. Your documentaries are so valuable to me. Joe. 👋🤚
Wow, gold pure gold. For me this is a master's class. I've followed Peter on various metal shaping forums over the years but this really brings it to life, Thanks Peter.
27:58 ,,,, thats a man who just knows exactly and I mean exactly , what hes doing and in those three seconds the rest of us get to appreciate that too ,,, perfection.
I only found this channel today by chance after watching Ivan's shed and within the first few minutes I was thinking 'how the bloody hell is this piece of aluminium going to be a wing for a Healey'? This man is incredible; I am dumbfounded by his skill and craftsmanship.
@@Handbuilt1 Don’t thank me Sir Tommasini you have earned it with your skills over years and sharing the knowledge with the new generation who wants to learn your skills. I thank you Sir because I’m 48 and worked at Holdens back in 1994 and I had the privilege to work on prototype cars and everything is handmade before it goes into Production
I started off in Holdens in 1994 as a metal finisher and gradually worked my way up to working in the pilot rooms and that’s where I learnt sheet metal fabrication
Respect M. Tomassi!! I have no words to describe when I see a professional working !! Thank you so much for making Video ! To share your talents !! Long life to you !! 👍🏼👌🏽
Great video Peter, thanks for sharing. I have very recently repaired my Healey rear wing in steel, a BN6 with the swage line through it, when I made the lower rear section with sharp edge, I tipped a 1/2" flange over on the jenny, then welded the flat piece in underneath, so finishing wasn't as critical as welding on the face, as you suggested.
It's quite interesting to watch different methods used by different metal workers. It seems you aren't afraid use stretching while others stick to shrinking only. I tend to like your method better because one can see the development as you go not wait until the end to shape it.
It's a combination between stretching in the right place and shrinking where it needs to , moust of the time shrinking first, or too early , or only shrinking , will not do the job . In this case if I shrunk the panel too early I would have create a BIG HOLLOW, then by triyng to fix it I would have the panel too full .
Thank you for a great video. I wish I’d of got into metal shaping when I was in my 20’s not now I’m 50 but i do enjoy learning and trying to do it myself I find it’s great for relaxation as feel calmer after bit of metal shaping I know what you mean with arms I’m doing it to also get over a shoulder injury. 👍
Notice Peter is always in control of the panel, and every action he takes has a purpose. There is no wasted effort. Also notice he doesn't need a dozen clamps to clamp something to a buck. Remember this is a Trade just like any other. Roofer, Carpenter, Mechanic etc. Peter has spent 50 years making panels for a LIVING. He has literally worn out his body doing so. What is Proshapers resume? What panels has he produced for a living? Once you start to understand, the difference is painfully obvious. I am thankful that I have learned (and am learning) from Peter. Very few of these men who made their living in the trade are willing to share their knowledge like Peter is.
I find Americans (in particular) are always trying to find a different way regardless of tried & perfected methods.Thinking there is a better way eg. those hideous steel English wheels . They want a “tool” that will do it for them (Tim Taylor tool time ) instead of listening & understanding & practicing .Every process Peter does is explained & the reasons for it. Understanding what the metal is doing is only achieved “with practice”.Which is Peter’s catch phrase.
Love watching your videos. No sure what is wrong with your shoulders but mine were killing me almost stopping all my work for several years. I stopped drinking soda pop and my 69 year old shoulders feel like their 30 again.
Believe me, it;s not soda or others drinks, I think that after 50 Years of working my shoulders are simply worn out . Thank you for your concern and for watching
amazing content by a real master. note to the person doing the sound mix - check the levels, the mic is constantly peaking and there is a lot of distortion. applies to all of this series so far.
Sorry about that but I can not regulate that , I am a panel beater , not a sound expert I will try to look in to that problem .....Thank you for your reply
@@Handbuilt1 what? you mean panel beaters aren't aslo sound experts..? but no worries, i was thinking you have someone else recording & doing sound. and if nothing changes, the content is still great.
@@Handbuilt1 Ciao Peter ho sentito Ausilio. Lui sarebbe lieto di conttarti. Mi scriviresti un mail a autoexpertustv@gmail.com? Cosí ti mando i riferimenti. Grazie
Good morning Peter. I see we share the same affliction. My doctor told me to have cortisone injections 5 years back . I told him to rearrange two well known words ! I wish l was 25 as well ! The mind is still willing , the body isn't ! I've been in crash repair for 50 years so have never wheeled or power hammered . But l manage with hammers , dollies and this and that . It's very enjoyable to see your knowledge and confidence at work. Is the "e"type an early flat floor with welded louvres? I'm restoring mine but it's the ugly duckling series 1 2+2 . Everyday's a school day. Thanks for sharing.
The louvers on this model are part of the bonnet and it's not a flat floor. With my shoulders it's as you said ..the mind say Yes, but the body does not agreed with it .I also wish I was 25 LOL
No it is not , Europe and the US use 3003 ( 3000 series) Here in OZ we use 5000 series . Here is the code 5005 H 34 1.6 thick ...... but the 3000 series is good just the same
Hi Peter , i enjoyed your video and gotten alot of info from it, thank you... question , its hard to tell from my screen . how do you have that wood strip attached to the fender thats being prepared for the pullmax machine dies (about the 1:05:00 mark in the video ?
I attach the first layer of strip with double side tape (which can be taken off with heat ) then we built it up the strips with wood glue till high enough to use it as a guide
Great video Pete. I have just kicked off my auto restoration business in the future I will be in the market for one of your air Hamer wheel combo machines I haven’t seen you online on the ps4 for a while mate 😁
theres room for both. One is inspiring the hobbyist in their garage with cost effective methods and one is teaching the traditional method of coachbuilding. I respect both of them and work completely different from both of them. I find both of their videos entertaining. Theres something to learn from everybody
@@steveshepard Cost effective garage methods??????? Seriously? Have you ever visited his (WS)site and seen the prices for classes and tools. The $150 plastic hammer? Garbage. Peter in his several of his vids makes a complete 1/4 panel with nothing more than hand tools and a wheel. That's pretty cost effective IMO. You should read this thread. ce8df029be3e-004671.vbulletin.net/forum/tutorials/videos-online/1967-new-video-by-our-friend If the man knew how to shape Peter would respect him and not be as vocal, but he is teaching crap. Read the thread and watch those videos that WS posted, and then tell me if you feel the same.
@@VonDutch5151 I guess I don’t have the time or energy to dive into a forum full of what I perceive as bullying when I can continue my own path, enjoy all the videos and shape my own way. I enjoy Peters content, but don’t care to participate in the dick measuring contest of “who’s doing it right”. Plastic mallet aside, I live local to Wray and know first hand a bunch of people he’s inspired to get out and do something. I prefer to spend my time developing my own methods instead of scrutinizing on a web forum...I’ve been there, done that, grew up and lost my ego. It’s RUclips. There’s plenty of space for both of em. ❤️
It is a privilege to watch quietly while someone who knows what he is doing does it masterfully , I hope you have an apprentice who is learning your skills .
Now days those apprentice do not exist , but it would be nice
