Glad to see lots of new videos! I shared this video to a couple of forums on Facebook. I hope it brings you some more viewers to appreciate your channel!
I have a better camera and a nice stand now. Next thing I am hoping to get is a person to do the camera work for me while I am working. Takes a long time to set up for a shot, so I am hoping someone, someday would like to do the filming.
Last winter, I told you the sun would be beaming through those workshop doors again, and here we are moving right into the next winter, and you are getting stronger and stronger... I hope what you are making on these jobs is really contributing to the materials and tools you need to get your place bubbling along, and that we will see your little empire go from strength to strength - and of course becoming more autonomous in terms of self reliance in the meantime. There is nothing better than watching a man just slicing through life, and pissing off all the idiots that said he couldn't do it.
your grasp of my situation is amazing. You must have had some of the same troubles as I have along the road of life. Always good to hear from you, and yes things are getting better. Have a freezer full of food..... enough wood to heat for the season...... and a shop full of work, should be a good winter.
@@metalshaperJeep Hey Brian, you are correct, I have had the same problems, listening to deadbeats talk about how other people are so useless, as they themselves, go through the relentless and hopeless lifelong routine of sleep, commute, work, commute, eat, TV, and repeat - living little more than a slow boring death, just consuming and producing nothing as they do it. Sitting in their cars as the service lights pop up on the dashboard or in front of their TV's listening to the lies. I look at them now and think "the wheel is going around, but the hamster is dead..." I am building my own house and workshops in the South of France. I used to listen to all the laboratory rats back in the UK, where I am from, and it dragged me down for years, until I realised these idiots are exactly that, and I basically got in my car and drove on and on until I found the perfect place to live and flourish. And now, as the process is slowly but surely taking shape, I look back at them all, that herd of sheep, and guess what? They are in the same place, doing the same thing, saying the same stuff... There is a saying and it goes; If you always do what you've always done, you will always be where you have always been. It is men like you that built that fkn country Brian. Men like you that that got off there backsides, took everything they had thousands of miles from home to go to a wilderness in a horse and cart - and they built a civilisation from NOTHING,... Just remember that my man. It is men - real men - like you that made what we have today possible.
Thanks for watching. I am hoping to generate some interest in metal shaping with the next generation coming up behind me. I don't want to see work like I do die off like the dinosaur that I am becoming.
Excellent result! I think the people that think this work is easy need to sit a watch it all come together, unfortunately there are more people around now that think you can just throw it on a 3D printing machine and sit there drinking coffee, they have a lot to learn from watching this. Many thanks for showing this.
Great video! It is certainly took a lot of time and effort to make just those two pieces. People who complain about cost, should be required to watch videos like these so they have a greater appreciation of the skills required!
Bill, it is always a problem with people and projects........ they just don't understand what it takes to make parts. I think it would be even better if they were here in the shop watching and helping.
Hey Brian awesome to see you making videos again just caught up on watching them once again I'm amazing sheet metal work that you're doing keep up the good work man
I don't know how much experience you have with metal but you can make parts like this by hand with a hammer and shot bag. You will need to be able to shrink by hand and the process will take much longer than with a power hammer. Any part can be made by hand with enough time but you will need some understanding of how metal moves.
Nice metal working. Bring the old back to life.
This cab will be perfect when done.

Thank you for sharing on Facebook for me. Feel free to pass along my videos anywhere you like.
Man I love your videos. Your camera work is improving as well.
I have a better camera and a nice stand now. Next thing I am hoping to get is a person to do the camera work for me while I am working. Takes a long time to set up for a shot, so I am hoping someone, someday would like to do the filming.
@@metalshaperJeep man if I lived near you I would. But I moved to Western Washington.
Boy, shrinking with those thumb nail dies is sure faster than tucking by hand. Nice work.
the power hammer is the fastest way of shrinking that I know of,... puts shape in quickly and planishes out nicely. Thanks for watching.
Wish you would of shown what you did after the shrinking. The hand work is everything!
Another great video as always.
When I grow up i want to be just like you ..I love watching you shape metal you make it look so easy, im half way there but nothing like you ..
Hi Brian, beautiful work! Are you still making cab corners for sale? 1:53
Great video

Yes, art work at it's finest. Amazing talent.
Great to have you watching, thanks for the comment
These FCs are such cool trucks. You're doing great work.
thanks for watching.
Metal work is an art of bringing the correct tools in line with a talented fabricator. Nice work.

Very good job Brian. It's amazing what you do. You are a master of restorations. thanks for sharing
thanks Jack, always good to hear from you.
WOW! You are an artist! This just blows me away! Very nice work

metalshaper Brian your a craftman don’t let Utube get you down mate
beautiful work
Just getting going on this project and things are coming out perfect, just a lot more rust than anticipated.
Looking good man, thanks
thanks, more metalwork coming.
Wow how nice.... It looks like it was made with a die.!!
Time and patience on the power hammer can produce just about anything on the FC project. Fits the buck and the cab perfectly.
Hey Brian awesome to see you making videos again just caught up on watching them once again I'm amazing sheet metal work that you're doing keep up the good work man
That came out beautiful, great job and more than well done. Wish I had that ability.
Hi, what if you don't have a power hammer? 55 F100 rear cab corners are similar, I would like to make? Thanks,
I don't know how much experience you have with metal but you can make parts like this by hand with a hammer and shot bag. You will need to be able to shrink by hand and the process will take much longer than with a power hammer.
