I gave been in the metal work and fab industry as a technician for 30 years and an instructor for 6 years and I haven't seen anyone even close to his abilities and instructional talent on RUclips. I cant speak enough about this man's talents ! Keep up the awesome work!
I don" t think that his skill as an instructor/entertainer is stressed enough in the comments. I am really dense when it comes to instruction, and this guy has me trying all kinds of metal feats! They don't look as good, but what an enjoyable experience. I just purchased my Mother Thumper and stump kit and you would not believe the quality of the hammer alone, I almost hate to use it. Just have to save up for the timber now. Thanks Karl.
Ron Covell is on here and he's better.
Yeah, Ron Covell is prolly da best, in the industry!, But Make it Custom guy has it going on.@@moparnut6933
Ron Covell has 30 years of experience beyond Karl's.
Ask Ron what he thinks of Karl. I doubt he'd be as harsh as you.
Incredible ! I've been in the trades for almost 40 years and very seldom am I impressed with someone's work and their ability to communicate it step by step. Great job!
Thanks
Iam happy with the fact that he not only shows' how to do the work with his tools but also shows the average person who may not have all those tools how to do it with only simple tools anyone would have on hand. The explanations are great also. I've watched a lot of channels and videos and think these are the best, so I subscribed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I also love the fact that he says You don't need to go out and break the bank to start and do good work.
Thanks for the kind words and support Mike! I set up road blocks for myself when I was younger by believing that I had to have special tools and expensive stuff to do metal shaping and just having those thoughts held me back years
I know nothing about being a panel beater but you've explained it in such a way that it makes it look possible to me. I'm not sure what you do full time for work but you would make excellent teacher. Also the video was put together superbly. The audio remained consistent throughout its entirety. The audio fade away when you are hammering and yet when you start talking again the volume is perfect.. I was not having to adjust my volume up and down throughout the video. For a RUclipsr that's just as important as the content in my opinion.
This is the first video I have seen of yours, I'm a subscriber
I absolutely agree. Some of the best videos I’ve seen. Awesome skills and explanation and he’s really charismatic as well, which doesn’t go astray.
4z,,
I've been doing sheet metal work for over 50 years and I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing your skills!
its so refreshing seeing the young guys keeping "Old School" Craftmanship alive and well Great video buddy keep em coming
After watching this video, I was thinking the exact same thing!
You're actually really good at explaining this stuff. You're the only guy I've seen on here who seems to actually understand what they're doing enough to explain it to others. Great job keep up the good work.
First class demo
Props on the proper PPE! Especially when grinding. You’re setting a great example.
X2 .... sets a great example 8)
Thanks for this. As an educator I’d like to compliment you on how clear your explanations and examples are for us laymen.
I was curious if this could be done with aluminum? I have an airstream trailer that could use some inside panels
I appreciate you only using had tools Carl. I feel like I have skipped a step using all the tools that I have available to me. You are a gifted person, thanks for taking us on your metal working journey.
I've worked steel and iron over fifty years, but mostly solid stock, machining, welding, forming, but am watching because you are doing the sheet metal, which I'm not skilled at. I noticed you use the cross pein to "close the fold", it seems to compact the metal very effectively. I really enjoyed your hammer work, you brought it right in very nicely. I've never seen a slap hammer used before, and it was nice to see it smooth out those little ripples. Thanks!
Carl,... I tried to watch thinking its late at night but this is something I love to watch. I went to sleep tho and woke up in so much pain.. pain from hell as my broken back problem has got much worse, I now have arthritis in the area I hurt n doctors made worse. I got hurt when a man fell from his roof and I stupidly caught him in mid fall. He had a torn tee shirt in the pocket area, I had nine major fractures which was three completely severed vertiba in the neck, doctors ain't figured why it didn't kill me from that alone. Several hours later, from them going through my throat (they moved my parts I swallow with to the side) and then used bicycle chain links and sheet rock screws in those to hold the vertebra in place. I could not swallow even a mashed pea for several weeks learning to use my throat to eat food again... never extend the body with a large amount of weight in the arms. I'm a ex body builder when your age so at a small two hundred an twenty little more and a neck line of twenty one inches around catch the man who fell from his roof with no fear of getting hurt... this is in two thousand five, oct., first i make the mistake I can do anything ... I was not thinking well as he weighed just over three hundred pounds and was almost seventy years of age so, although the fall from where i caught him must of only been say twelve feet from that roof line to my arms.. his injury was some bruises from me pinching his skin some. Those left his body in just a few days and I now am seventy two n watch youtube as a teaser of my first love... fixing cars n other ... anything with a engine or steering device. I did what your doing now and something i got away with was a heat gun and wet paper dried in place to form a pattern that i used body hammers, heat and ice to try and form different shapes... I look at the tools that you have made... I wish that at the time I rebuilt a forty ford two door business coop that had laid in a chicken coop and was severely rusted/eaten away from that horrible acid in their poop... every hard part to remake was so much fun trying to do this. I was successful in making a firewall and the grill using just wet paper that I formed inside the bad metal... before removing it from its prison of chicken crap. I did not even suspect things like a wire feed welder, a tig welder... just a good torch, and a stick welder. It takes so much patience to do this kind of work and keep the dream alive. I did win some small town trophies for awards i got in car shows. I had hundreds of polaroid self developing pictures... I kept those for a long time but our technology and a small town before internet hick boy at the time of my build.... Oh to share those hours of tapping the metal into shapes... the truth is, had I had someone like you to teach me these methods, I would of saved hours of hard work/felt more like playing to me at the time. I so enjoy your skills that you are learning on the fly and stuff someone had to of showed you or even videos of the different ideas.... just little stuff you seem to just keep getting better at this type of fun/work... I think of you as a younger version "Chip Foose" who is a great fab man. He is like you in many ways... never doubting if you can but just what you know you will find the methods of doing. Carl, I think that your name may reach many high levels of skill. Your tall friend and self using wire to form the shapes desired to make new parts or even your own ideas. If Henry Ford could build and name a car after himself, I kind of suspect there might just be a car named Carl someday. I don't go anywhere except hospitals and meet some young nurses.. bite my wrist thinking if I were just thirty years old again.. youth is wasted on the young as most have their heads on a hand held phone playing catch a fish or build a castle instead of going out to their garage/lean to or just a dirty driveway an build something, maybe even toss a real fish line in real water n catch trout for real, cook on a campfire and eat them charcoal edges and all. I spent every minute I could that I wasn't working in a garage that I built myself. Just don't forget to include your lady in your ideas and share hers as well. Kind of a miserable world if you don't have someone to share the dream with.. sorry for the too long comment but you just bring out the best in people n you seem kind... I just hope you don't change as success becomes obvious
You explanation off locking in, closing the end of the tuck, creating a bubble, and forcing into itself. Best showing and explanation of the technique I’ve ever seen or heard. As usual brilliant.
This channel only keeps getting better!!! Learning so much. Always good to know how long things take. Thank you guys.
Welcome
Totally badass. Thank you
*@**40:24** great banded 4x4 solution for an old stump or sandbag. Looks very portable, how did you dish it?*
Always nice to see old school techniques being remembered and practiced, great job!
Love how you always bring it back to you don’t need million dollar tools
Pannel beating has earned a high digree of respect after watching your video. Many thanks for making this instructable. Great personality and excellent audiovisual methodology. Greetings from Beirut
Thank you so much for doing this video! I really appreciate you taking the time to show and explain hand tools only!
Very hard work
You’re very welcome man!
Love watching you work your magic! I'm learning so much, thanks for putting the time to make these videos!
I'm in the process of restoring an old cast iron wood stove that has metal sides. I'm using 16- & 20-gauge sheet steel and I'm gonna tell you, that stuff ain't no joke! I'm sore from head to toe but it's going to look brand new when I'm done. I have a whole new respect for what you guys do every day.
I always enjoy watching a true craftsman. You acknowledged your mistakes and put them right. I've go some work to do on my campervan which this video has encouraged me to do myself. Thanks from the UK.
These "How-To's" are so inspiring! I really am looking forward to doing some sheet metal work on some project in the future! I already used some of what you've shown in a little project at work.
That was impressive bro! The amount of patience u have is equally so. I also want to point out that humility is what draws us in and inspires ur subscrubers. Let's also give mad props to Christina for capturing all the subtleties to the power stance!
Ha ha ha thanks very much man appreciate it!
Agreed!!
It never ceases to amaze me that you can take something that looks pretty close, smash it with a hammer until it looks like absolute hell, nod approvingly, hit it some more and watch it turn into perfection. There's some "insert magic here" part that I miss every time.
Ha ha ha yeah that’s what Metal shipping is!
So nice to see you share your knowledge. Can’t wait to see some other projects thru completion
Carl,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you showing these techniques to be able to get started. What you taught would take semesters of school to teach if they even offered it. Thanks again and looking forward to more videos.
Thank you for doing a video on basic hand tools, it is really appreciated, I know you cannot do this too often as it is physically demanding, love the content of this channel.
Yes Karl please keep the videos coming, you make this all so easy to understand you have a great gift to teach people! Thank you!
Thanks Carl for showing these fundamental metal forming methods. Awsome explanations as usual keep up the great work.
I actually watched the video where you made the stump and hammer, great job by the way and fabricating those, and great job on shaping this piece by hand! I always like watching you work on stuff, because you show the mistakes as well, and that is a big part of learning for everyone! Thanks for sharing the process, Karl. Look forward to the next video my man!
Yes, I DID enjoy this video, & Yes, I DID learn from it. Thank You Carl, You are an awesome fabricator, & you have a knack for instructing that comes across informative, breaking it down so that a layman can catch the "O-Yeah" factor. No doubt, whenever I need to learn how to Make It Kustom, you got it covered.
Right on Ricky I’m stoked! Cheers thanks for watching!
@@MakeItKustom and thats the difference one wants to see ... sure all the high tech machines are nice for large volume work ... BUT they just need memorization to do the job .... doing the same thing by hand takes longer BUT it then shows that the person HAS the skill to do the job ... and the better they do the better they teach it .... in just this video ... sure you made mistakes but you also corrected them.... stuff happens ... the fix is easy
.
an hour or two and you have mastered a machine program ... 20 or 50 years and you have become accomplished in doing it by hand ... maybe by the end you will have mastered it ... BUT that is never attainable but worth going for
Having done a metal forming course at the local tech collage under a 5ft 2inch Yorkshire man who made a living from making Jaguar radiator shells etc with sublime finish I can appreciate this young man's skill; He is superb plus he can explain it with grammatically correct English. You have skills which must be preserved. Thank you
Someone who loves their craft...To teach and show and give one for the pain team....Much kudos to you and your team....
Thanks for taking the time to do it “old school” so to speak, it really puts into perspective what power tools are doing, I picked up more from this video on metal working than all the books I have read. Appreciate it! Nice job.
This is what you and your videos are all about, the DIY person and how it was, and still is done today. You do the hobby a real service for those of us who need the little guidance that you can't get in books or from someone telling you how to do it. Watching you is such a great pleasure...
All I can say is THANK YOU Karl..!!
TX
Mr fixit
Chris :)
You have the patience of Jobe and a never quit attitude and I learned much from your instruction on how to shape these panels. You also have a "Dream Shop"~!! Kudos to the camera girl also~!
This was one of your best videos. TY for letting me HEAR the work being done Good advise on tools and tool making
I absolutly love these type of videos. Some good news on my front is I am done being otr truck driver and have found a job that will be getting me home way more often! I have been working hard on getting my new shop going so I think really soon I will be getting back to my project. Thanks Carl!
Great video. Nice to see real hands on skills complemented with detailed advice and instruction. I'm just about to make a seat base for my hardtail chop. I have a tool box, a work bench and vice and a hammer.
Now I've watched your video I feel ready to go and have some fun.
Cheers
Thank you for making a video using more hand tools. It certainly does help make sense of things. And will be helpful for some of my projects that don't have replacement sheetmetal available.
High quility with simple hand tools GREAT VIDEO
Morning Karl, I make a honest effort to watch each video you put out..this one was exceptional, alot of information, with anything we do with these vintage cars, experience is the key, you learn from your mistakes & how to correct them, you explain steps & procedures well...Great video!! Be safe!!! God Bless!!
excellent video thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and skills. you explained each step really well and increased my understanding of how the metal reacts ie shrinking / stretching and the simple tools needed to create complex curves and flanges and tipping cheers thanks :)
I used to be a sheet metal journeyman I installed commercial hvac not too much architectural work,watching him work his skills and knowledge make me want to be learning what he's doing.thanks you have awoken something in me.
Awesome work! A great demonstration of how a lot of work, determination & a few basic tool are that's needed to create. The art of bodywork is alive & well.
You have given us a glimpse of techniques that have come about from hundreds of years of experience and made it simple and understandable. Undoubtedly this was one of the clearest, most well-presented educational videos that I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing. My dad was a sheet metal worker for Avro in Toronto back in the fifties. One of his jobs was to make the wing tanks for fighter jets.
Great video, I love your passion for the trade. I work as a millwright and sometimes have to shape metal.
To break edges I use an adjustable wrench to ply the flange. They can do all thickness of metal and up to the depth of the jaws. Look forward to learning more, keep them coming.
Shaping metal with hand tools is a great tutorial series to show . Kinda like those that rely on grocery stores should be tought how to hunt and grow .
Good point!
Excellent stuff man!! Have done a lot of metal forming stuff, but you have taken it to another level which needs lots and lots of patience, well explained as well.👍👍
Thank you once again! You are awesome and so easy and fun to learn with! Keep up the great work! (Great camera work too..you know who you are 😊)
I never knew how this type of work is done... and the last hour spent watching you do it was amazing. Absolutely one of the best demonstration videos I've seen. You are skilled, super-competent and to the point... a great teacher. A rarity on RUclips. Cheers!
You are in good company. Jessie James, Mike Petko and you. Master metal formers. Boyd Coddington’s metal former is deceased and so is Boyd, I think.
Thank you sooooo much. You are amazing! So talented, but still take the time to help us that “aren’t” or don’t have the tools, to do projects like this. I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you for helping to demystify this process. Learned a ton. Very inspiring.
Excellent job of teaching skills and editing. Nice to have gentle music instead of hammering and instant clear voice for instruction. You give all that is needed without anything that isn't. From a tradesman, it's super easy to connect with what you're doing ... your videos are right up there in the top 1%. Awesome job.
Thanks for the lesson bro, major talent now go rest that arm and keep up the great content, really look forward to your videos so interesting, you explain what you're doing thank you.
Wish that I had teachers like you when I started pounding tin ,We finished with lead , no bondo and a ton
of pounding. Truly enjoyed your video. Stuart in Ontario..............
Another brilliant video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills. Also great camera work!
My first project trying to shape metal has been my 1994 f150, I'm a straight out of college welder, no job yet, but it has absolutely been a learning curve trying to fabricate the inner cab corners, that the actual cab corner welds to, as well as the floor pans, as they have a funky angle where the rock and the pillar meet edit: love the osb tables. Very easy to make, easy to dispose of, burn it in a barrel and collect the nails
this is one of his best videos yet. Really taking it back to old school hand skills.
You have real quality in your work , teaching, and I assume as a overall person. Thank you for taking your time to show off your skills to teach others
Love it, and love that you have someone willing to do all of the videoing so you aren't spending twice as much time setting up cameras. Looks great!!
Great channel, thanks for the informative videos. Just getting into metal shaping and your instruction is very helpful.
I love how on his videos things don't always go exactly right and shows you how to fix or attack from other angles ... Dudes an artist.
I think that this is your best video yet and that is saying something. Thanks especially for showing how to do it with “machines” and then how to do exactly the same thing with hand tools. Epic!
sound stuff, bril vid, i appreciate you two taking the time to do this, much thanks.
Its great that your doing it this way so people can see how to do it without alot of $$$ machines. And its great you listen to what people would like to see.
wow really great job showing how it works and explaining so well it feels like anyone can give it a go, thanks for your sore shoulder was really fun to watch.
Amazing video. I am an old guy just getting into this type of work/restoration and I find the body panels are the most important to a show quality paint job. Great Job!
You really are an amazing craftsman. I try to take away as much as possible from your videos. You have so many great techniques I need to remember. Also your ability to convey exactly what you are doing as you are doing it is great. You truly are a great teacher as well. Thanks for the videos!
This is the first video I have seen from you. I have been a locksmith for over thirty years and have learned quite a bit from you. Thank you for this.
This work blows my mind. The hole time I was watching I barely dear to bread and almost got sick to me stomachs. Wish I had the skills.
I found this as a RUclips wild card. I now have an answer as to HOW an automobile prototype is/was made. LOVED THE VIDEO although there is a hell of a lot of skill there and seeing a CRAFTSMAN demonstrate the craft is fantastic. It has now inspired me to want to make a pedal car for my new-born grandson. Hopefully Ill be able to achieve this goal in time. THANKS for the INSPIRATION.
It is impressive watching you work. You have a lot of patiences and skill. Love your videos. Keep up the great work
3 hours? This man can build the Spirit of St Louis in a day. I am now a follower. Nice video.
What I believe the rest of us were waiting for! 🙏
Thank you for making this.
Please create a complete series on this No Special / Expensive tool Metal bending vids!
I just learned a ton. Thank you for being such a great instructor.
Great demo. The shrink is something I've been trying to learn. The bubble method is new to me. Looks like it works awesome.
Absolutely a beautiful video. Thank you, Sir!
masterful work. Thanks for sharing your techniques. These videos are priceless.
"it's just sheet metal". I love this guy! Amazing talent for such a young dude.
very inspiring video for a beginner like me. thanks for showing the way to do it without all the fancy tools. i learn so much from all of your videos!
Enthusiasts really appreciate you demonstrating these methods, as well as showing us the tools that are used to perform the work!
excellent work and great skills thanks
awesome! thank you so much for the class! 😊
It’s probably the best video I’ve ever seen somebody do super informative you didn’t skip any steps great job
This has been the best video I've seen that actually explained how to manipulate the actual tuck by closing the end.
That was AWESOME! Thanks for showing how to do this without the expensive equipment, I’m in awe.
Great camera work! You showed me the views I wanted. 🤙🏻
You truly are an extremely talented metal smith, I am in awe! Thanks for all the great videos!!
I want to thank you for this vidio! You're the first one ive ever heard explain locking down the tuck when shrinking by hand. I hope to one day do metal work and that was gold so Thank you!
Kevin the videos are great 👍 I have learned so much from you. I have challenged myself to do things with metal that I never dreamed of doing. Keep up the awesome work and the sincere words of incouragement to people such as me to challenge my own skill learning.
Outstanding Karl. Thanks for your continued content.
THANK YOU for sharing you knowledge and experience so awesome!
This is the first video I've ever watched where I didn't get annoyed by the dozen ads. You deserve whatever money you get from all the ads. This video helped me out a lot because I've been doing this kind of shaping by making relief cuts and welding it back together. Thanks bro.
Impressive job, really impressive! Also very appreciated your revealing the actual time you spent on the job!
Wow, so great. You are so good at teaching and showing what to do step by step. I never watch videos this long because to be fair they are never that good or interesting but your video was perfect. Learned a lot. Keep up the great work and please don’t stop with the videos.
I always love that you show not just the more advanced tool tips but the basic handtool tips & tricks!
You are right
Great instructional video Karl. Learning a lot with these!
Love you sharing the knowledge brother! Thank you so much!
Respect for this talent 🎉🎉🎉
I usually won't commit this much time to a video. This one was worth it.
Sore arm reminds you this is real work. Old school talent . Nice to remind people it’s still possible
