This makes me want to make my own floorpans instead of buying them. I appreciate you sharing your skillset.
Awesome I’m so glad that you want to try it! It’s so much more for filling to make your own
@@MakeItKustom YEAH BRO VERY EDUCATIONAL 👍🏼👍🏼
Would make nice floor pans!
....unless your doing high dollar restorations always make your own metal floorboards, huge savings. We beed roll but this technique is very cool and looking forward to giving it a go.
Great video, very entertaining.
You might try using the router to cut the bottom form for the"X". You could pick the depth without having to find the right thickness material for a depth stop. Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Good idea
But I’m also thinking the way he did it gives you options
I agree,Using a core box router bit to cut the bottom board would give a nice rounded form and you could adjust it to whatever width or depth you want.
He did say basic tools and did a damn good job sticking to that IMO. A router is like, right on the cusp of where you start getting expensive just due to the bits alone. However you can pick up a jigsaw and chop saw at a pawn shop for 20 bucks.
@@FilthyHyenaHe already used a router to make the rounded wood for the edges.
I think a router for X shape would've been way easier than his method.
I’ve spent hours on RUclips trying to figure out how I’m going to make my custom inner fenders without any fancy tools. This video gave me everything I needed and more. Thank you so much
I was thinking you were going to weld a washer onto the the hammer tool as a shoulder stop, instead of using a shim in the bottom of your form. Pros/cons? You do great work and share your knowledge freely. You do us Canuckians proud! Thank you son. cheers🇨🇦 👊
I straight up laughed my ass off when you unbolted the finished piece. I couldn’t believe how awesome that panel came out with manual work. I can’t wait to try this exact project this weekend. Currently my favorite channel. You have me questioning and rethinking my life decisions on the daily 😮 Keep up the awesome content, I appreciate it like you wouldn’t believe!
Ha ha ha! Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
PPE on the MDF, the dust is toxic due to the bonding agents. Great content, love your work mate, cheers from Sydney Australia.
Thanks man I’m definitely going to wear the respirator in the future. Gotta get better with that stuff 🙏
@@MakeItKustom It's not just the bonding agent, which is formaldehyde glue and is also found in particleboard, but it is more to do with the very fine dust that is produced when using machine tools like power saws and routers when cutting and shaping MDF.

Just caught this video and that was my first thought when I saw he wasn't wearing a mask! Its a must when working with MDF, I was going to comment the same.
Love your videos though.
@@MakeItKustom Political correctness is very boring! You don't work with MDF, you work with metal. Machined a single piece of MDF. Any of us breathe more toxic things than that, just walking down the street! Your creativity is amazing!
Those that can, do? Those that can't, teach? You Sir, can do both! I'm a woodworker and want to expand my skillset to include metalwork. You are inspiring. And hats off to your wife? For the camera work.
I'm planing a teardrop camper build and was concerned with the price of aluminum so I'm just going to buy thinner sheet and roll my edges and put random beading all over to stiffen the walls up.
Thanks so much for the tutorial.
I’m watching this again as I’m actually recreating your merged!
Super inspirational man!
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀🍀🍀😎
Impressive! For a young guy you're already a metal master with your knowledge and skill.
Thanks man it’s all I know and it’s all I wanna know ha ha
Easily in just two days watching, your channel is one of my favorites 👍🏼 keep em coming
same here 👍🏼
I just hope I can retain enough of your content that I can do the job when I do my own rat rod. Then again I can just go back and look at your video again! Thanks
I love learning something I didn't know was possible with simple tools - Now thinking of something to make for my wife to show her how clever I am 😀 😁
As someone that’s looking to expand my skill set for my own projects, I greatly appreciate you sharing tips and tricks like this for those of us that haven’t yet established a sufficient tool collection. Keep doing what your doing man. It’s much appreciated!
Thanks a lot for your feedback I’m happy to share as much as I can
@@MakeItKustom just a thought you used bolts .. maybe try heavy drywall / deck screws to hold the boards smaller hole to weld up .. going to try and make a skin for a Jeep tail gate 81 Jeep wrangler ..just repaired my dads lower half rusted away .. My 2nd jeep is a rust bucket ,, might try making a skin can buy a cheap tail gate around 150.00 US but that's not fun working with my hands is ,, used my stud gun on the weld seam of the gate could not get behind to hammer the weld ,, used about a 1/16 in thick of bondo on the weld seam about a 1/2 wide in some spots ,, learning as I go hands on thank you for you videos
Not only are you talented, you also possess the ability to teach! Thanks for taking the time to show how in simple and concise manner. I believe you could work with any medium out there.
Thanks man I appreciate the feedback! Cheers
Your channel is my new addiction! Soooooo many good technique's in your videos. I dont even do any of this type of work but as they saying goes, "The more you know"... lol
You are a wizard. It makes me want to hammer sheet metal. It brings the tin basher out in me. This is how they did it before all the highly mechanized manufacturing. 3 cheers!
Fantastic skill, beautiful work, showing what can be done with basic tooling.
My only advice would be, use a vacuum to clean up the MDF dust, as that stuff is really bad for you.
Ditto on the MDF dust, that shit will kill you
Great point on the dust thank you very much!
The MDF thing ,very. much so but also holding the part whilst cutting it, grinding and buffing is a bit sketchy but if your cutting then stick it in the vice, fingers are useful things and best kept on a hand, I have been using grinders for over forty years and five years ago had a nine inch one go rouge and slice open the back of my hand, eight weeks in plaster and three months physiotherapy to get back as much as I ever will and its more tender than the other hand if I knock it, you have a very informative channel but please take care and stay safe.
@@CrusaderSports250 Shit, you were lucky to get away from that 9 inch grinder bite. I knew a guy who was using a 9" grinder with a 9" power saw blade to cut the bottoms off door jambs to make way for a floating floor. Made the cut OK but as the grinder was slowing down, he relaxed and the blade bit and jumped up and bit his knee. Went to the hospital and came back out with a patched up knee and a super-bug infection to slow his recovery down.
I watched this with much interest, as I made similar dies to form 1968-72 G. M. A- Body firewall heater delete plates years ago. Forming the edges with 18 gauge cold roll steel sheet metal, I used 3/8ths thick steel to make my dies, as the edges had inside and outside radiuses. Your work is very impressive. Neat and concise. Thank you again.
Excellent vid. Saw the short & great to see the longer version. Little bit of woodworking, machining, welding and a lot of metal fabrication!
That was amazing 50 years ago I used to help and old boy, making tea sweeping up etc, and he showed me how to use timber to form things, but I dont recall him having an air chisel, I have one, and didnt know you could do that with it, a massive learning curve, many thanks from England
This is such a great tutorial! I will definitely try this in the future as I work on my sheet metal skills in both automotive and HVAC situations. Your videos are incredible! I just found your channel and am so excited to take what you have taught and apply it to stuff I am doing. Truly outside the box thinking!
Great video. I've formed beads the same way, and your video made me realise how much I need a more powerful air hammer! The one I have struggles with smaller beads.
It’s funny I barely ever use this big air hammer but holy crap it could’ve ripped the sheet metal it’s got so much punch
It's probably your compressor.
EXCELLENT!!! I should be in the garage working on my project... but it's more comfortable in here watching your channel.
You my sir are a God for the normal handyman that does not have a million dollar budget to set up his shed....Thankyou
I got a step for a 1992 Ford Iveco Turbo Daily motorhome, several strengthening ribs in it.
Making an MDF former would be the way to go. Panel looks top notch.
Thanks for sharing, great video.
Thanks for your feedback sounds like a neat motorhome! Cheers
Thanks Mate, I'm in awe of your skill & thank you so much for sharing it. Learning so much in such a short time after finding your channel 3 weeks ago. Love your work. Cheers Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Thanks Billy! I’m glad that you’re learning some stuff that’s the whole reason I’m here! I absolutely love the fact that this platform allows for such a community to exist cheers

In the morning with the breakfast at 10 I whatched tis video. During the afternoon I made exactly how you told in the video the tool. Around 4 the cross was in the plate and it was time to bend the plates on all sides. Around 6 my old classic mini has a nice increased motorspace of 10cm for the honda engine. Thanks a lot for for your videos, they are very very good en helpful! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Love this. I’m getting ready to make some light tool boxes and this would look like a great accent for the doors.
Great video! Best explanation of the hammer shrinking around that edge that I've ever seen. Love that you're showing how do things without having the really expensive one-off tools.
Fantastic Karl!!!!! The panel turned out very nice. Love watching you build things from start to finish. Good to hear that the planishing hammer kits are selling well.Keep up the great work Karl. Can’t wait for what’s next.
Right on Roger thanks for watching! Cheers
I've constructed a similar part and asked a few sheet-metal companys to do it, and all of them said, it's not possible for them to do it, because they would need to deep draw it and they wouldn't have the capacitiy to do so.. now I know that I can do it myself for cheap, thank you! 😍
How you have just today come up in my recommended I don't know. New subscriber and fan. Have been stuck to TV for hours watching you videos. My man you are the " this old house" of metal work ......and to all the younger generation yes that is a compliment.
Thanks so much Aaron I appreciate it!
Awesome work !! Super nice deep crisp bead to!!. I’ve also gotten some great results from hammer forming like this. I’ve also found(especially in thinner metal) if I do my bead first that it helps hold the metal in place for the edges with less bolts …. Sometimes none needed.
Awesome job brother !
Love watching this one , you continue to open my eyes, thanks again 🇦🇺
That’s all I can ask for I am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching cheers!
Welding it on it's place would have been the cherry on the cake for the vid. It's great.
Thank You sir, for sharing in a way that lets us understand without making us feel like s☆☆☆!! At 74, I'm still learning and you are a good teacher. Thanx.
Ha ha you’re so welcome man I’m glad you’re still learning! Me too every day is a school day!
@@MakeItKustom My motto is "No guts, No glory" you don't know unless you try, and if you crash and burn, try it again!
Great info, really enjoying the channel and learning new things along the way. Great shout out to DD as well!
I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Yeah he deserves all the shout outs!
As always, great stuff. Livin and learning on this end.. Thanks for sharing.. Great presentation by an excellent presenter.
Thanks Thomas I appreciate that! You’re most welcome I am sure that I am enjoying it as much as you are this is such a great community
Young people's smart work..... amazing. I'm from Indonesia
Greetings from Canada! Thanks for watching these videos I’m glad you like them!
Dude , That's some old school technique ! Thanx !
this is rad
😆👊😆
How many hours to make that battery tray ?
Титанический труд ради такой маленькой детали. Большое уважение!
Karl,
Thank You for sharing your Expertise & Tips. I enjoy your, "make it with what you have " way of thinking. And they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks...I am 65 yrs old & learning new tricks from you on every video.
Thanks again.
Stay Real.
Right on man so glad to hear that you are learning new stuff!
I thoroughly enjoy watching a young person,like you, using the "old School ",simple methods Been doing auto repair,auto body work for 48 yrs,and you do it WELL!
Man I love hammer forming panels! Iv done it for a long time and there is just so much you can do with it.
Yeah it’s pretty incredible how many uses it has and how well it works
Love the videos! Can’t wait for the other caddy channeled vid!!!!!
Yeah I’m getting on that real quick here! I really want to finish the drop
Jam up Job man I’m 68 would like to see young men like you do all the work that is needed.Keep up the good work watch ya all the time.
You have a. Marvelous spirit! I truly like what you do and your passion, congratulations!
I have this suggestion for you; instead of placing an additional pice for depth, use either of these two options to avoid wood waste and work. From the pieces that you cut off for the 'X' slice them at the desired thickness and place them in the slots. Second option; weld a donut around you rod at the desired depth and that will hit the topper when you get to your desired depth😉.
My hat off to you dear friend, Dan
Excelente tutorial muy bien explicado y con un excelente resultado final le felicito y muchas gracias Amigo un saludo desde islas Canarias 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just found your videos today and I'm hooked. Relatively simple solutions for complex problems in fabrication. I have a question about this method in particular. Why not just use the router to set the depth of the X on the buck?
I was thinking that same thing, he used one on the edge
Beacouse probably that would bent the buck.....mabe
I could have but I didn’t have the bit to run the depth
One of the best instructional videos on metal forming. Why not use your router for the grooves then no stops needed for depth. Thanks from Scotland
Yeah that’s definitely a better way of doing it
As usual, you got mad skillz,hopefully it won't be lost in younger generations
If they want to know they will be able to find it out! I see a lot of people my age and younger getting into it
That was awesome 👌 brother like seeing these techniques come to life,
Glad you like it man!
Great to watch, your skill level is very high both metalwork and presentation. The camera work is also awesome. I thought you were going to use the router to make the cross form with a rounded bit, would this not be easier and then you automatically have the depth stop?
Yes that would’ve been amazing to use a router bit it would’ve saved a step for sure I just don’t have one
@@MakeItKustom Ah, now comes the build up of the router bit collection.
A great way to start is with one of those larger sets with multiple bits of different sizes and shapes.
this isnt fair....I should be able to give a THUMBS UP, each and every time I watch this video!
It’s pretty cool how he always plugs another channel to help out other RUclipsrs, nice guy with mad skills. Great teacher too !
I really enjoyed this episode, hammer form fixtures are so cool. You’re a real pro! Grinding at the lathe kinda makes me cringe a little tho 🥴lol
Ha ha Ha I do it more often than you wanna know!
@@MakeItKustom i hope you clean the ways thoroughly afterwards to get all the abrasive dust off. Unless you want your saddles etc. to flap about like a dick in a shirtsleeve down the line!
Also, please please get some handles on your files - any jam and the tang that the handle should be on will instantly give you a kitform artery in your wrist and up you forearm. Handles are dirt cheap so no excuses.
Besides all that lecturing and diatribe I've just issued, I really like your videos and presentation style. I should be retired here in the UK following years in industry and now in education of Design & Technology, but still love it. Sadly I can't show your videos comfortably to my students without having to point out all your H&S breaches, which would detract from your excellent hands-on demonstration and instruction!! Shame - but power to her elbow, Ryan! 👍
Great presentation and content.
How about how you plug weld all those holes without distortion or leaks?
Yes good point I should do that and show it thanks for the feedback!
@@MakeItKustom thanks for taking it how I meant it, not as a smarta$$, but there are so many details to this stuff. It would be almost impossible to remember them all. One detail from your bead rolling the teardrop galley hood that I’ve never seen anyplace else (and I think I’ve seen a bunch) was using a smaller lower die than the upper die so it was an interference fit. Do you leave the edges of the lower die sharp or do you round over the edges?
Had the same question. Great videos! Subscribed!
Wow, I wish all YT videos were like this! No hi guys or wearing the cap the other way around, just well explained hand work. Thanks.
Going to make a beaded repair piece for under the battery on my 1971 VW Beetle.
What a valuable tip. Thanks a lot Karl. What a great college shop instructor you would make.
Will that work with stainless
Theoretically it will work with any metal but your buck material will have to be stronger for stronger materials. If you use steel instead of MDF then stainless would not be an issue
Please build cars❤️😅 I dont learn from watching.
DD speed shop is dope. that man gets more done in a day than i do in months.
Hi...I had my own custom metal shop for 36 years where I restored and repaired vintage and historic metal aircraft. After all those years I had a whole room full of marine ply formers on which I hand made some really complicated parts.....so I greatly appreciate your skills...and also appreciate how sore your arms get pounding metal. !!! Thanks for teaching people such useful skills....a real pleasure to watch.
Best wishes....Ralph Hull.
From 1971 to now, (Yes I'm 64) Is how I done it. As a Panel Beater and coach builder all my life I make all my own parts and panels by hand the old way. Great video 👍👍👍👍
That’s awesome Tony! I bet you’ve built some amazing cars! True craftsman are hard to come by these days
There you go. I'm a cabinet maker and watched Lakeside Fitzee's and your channel to pick up body work tips on doing extensive rust repair on a 2004 Dodge Ram. I cut out and installed new box fender panels , fabricated my own outer wheel houses (170.00 each to buy). I fabricated 2 piece lower fender tips as well . All was done using MDF jigs . Making 2 piece jigs with the metal clamped between them prevents the metal from warping while you hammer shaping it. I make the top jig smaller then the bottom by the amount of the round over then router a 45 degree angle. It makes it easier to get the hammer on the right spot. To deal with inside curves without a shrinker I make a cut hammer it down, then cut off the overlap and butt weld it back together. After grinding you cant even tell their was a cut there.
BTW your using your router wrong. Going backwards is called climb cutting. That method is used when you have a lot of material to take out and you need to do it in several passes, but you always finish by pushing the router forward on your work piece,
I find your explanation very clear and I have been doing panel work for over 40 years. I'm over 74 years old but can't stop learning. Great channel 👏 👍
You bring up so many ideas on how to make tools...I make a lot of stuff in small sizes(1/6 scale, etc.), and these tools would be easy ways to scale down...
That's an awesome piece of metal you made for your gas tank. Yes DD speed shop is fantastic I've seen every video he put out since he started. I watch all of your videos also and DD speed shop told us about the hammer he got off of you and he loves it. Dan even told his people that watch him to come see your channel. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and Christina & family . 💯👍👍🙏🙏
I love low buck creative solutions and you are not short on those at all. Nice work bro!
I used a simple version of this to make a couple of rain caps for some steel columns. I still found this tutorial very interesting.
Mark from Melbourne Australia
Excellent I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
I love the way the hammer marks are still visible. Looks so much more authentic than the pressed option.👍👌👏👊👊👊
Your skillset and ability to explain what you're doing to us newbies is rare! Plus, you did this with common shop tools. You have a gift of teaching advanced techniques to novice people. I appreciate your efforts and sharing! Plus, I dig your rambling. I have learned that when someone very knowledgeable starts rambling about that topic, that's when you take notes because they are about to lay a bunch of really good information on you that you don't realize is really important, until you're midway through the task and wishing you had listened closer when they were rambling. And I enjoy hearing your Canadian accent through my Southern ears, y'all talk weird hahaha. Keep up the killer work!
Ha ha ha! I’m laughing at this one thank you for appreciating my little rambling lol! Sometimes the words go through my head faster than they come out my mouth glad you enjoyed the channel man cheers!
@@MakeItKustom I feel you on the words moving faster than you can speak them. Definitely enjoying the channel. Once it cools down a notch or 2 below hell here in Georgia, I'll be in the garage at night putting to use your information. I watched the tree crushed hood videos, then went and bought a few cheaper hammers and dollies. I have some dents I was going to work the best I could, then bodyfill them. Nah, they're getting beat in to submission thanks to those hood videos. I'm rambling lol. Thanks again!
Man I can only imagine how strong that panel is with that amount of work hardening!!! Yep time to design the floorplans for my truck! Thank you!!!
Great video. I now have a reason to use a router and bits I bought 15 odd years ago. I’m not kidding!
Got yourself a new subscriber..
Right on! Welcome to the channel lol is the only thing I use my router for
I lIKE your videos before I watch them because I know they will be amazing. Lots of blessings from the Caribbean bro!
Thanks so much man! I’m stoked that you like the videos cheers from Canada!
Je te remercie tellement pour toutes tes vidéos. Je ne suis pas carrossier et j'ai mon Oldsmobile 57 à remonter. Toutes tes techniques, trucs et astuces vont vraiment m'aider pour mon projet. Je comprends pas tout ce que tu expliques parce que je parle français, mais tes vidéos sont très explicatives. Merci de prendre le temps pour toutes les personnes passionnées. Thanks a lot my Friend
One word. OUTSTANDING!
Can't believe yt never recommended this channel to me. At least I found it ...no thanks to the algorithm! Subbed 2 minutes in to the first video!
Wow thanks man welcome!!!
Make It Kustom = The Joy of Building
Thx Karl
hp
I never imagined I would be doing this shit, but watching you absolutely killing it, I'm inspired to have a go.
Thanks!
Oh boy what a great video find. After seeing your technique I'm dreaming of access doors on my cargo trailer build. Thanks for posting!
Right on! I hope you use it!
such a joy to watch a master of his craft
Brilliant, the first video I haven't skipped through rock music and rubbish talk. Class.
Thank you man I appreciate that feedback! We are doing our best to keep it moving and interesting cheers!
You really put time in detailed preparation, hats off for the result. On a scale of 10, I give you a 10 👍🏼
What a great video.
Easy to follow. Hand forming metal panels is a perishing art..
What an eye opener...... Thank you Karl!
My head just blew up with ideas keep this videos coming
Will do man I’m glad your head blew up lol
Quick comment - I really love your content, and your delivery is outstanding. You are a natural teacher. 5 Star Channel!
Wow. Looks like a hydraulic press did that but you did by hand.
True craftsmanship right thar...

Holy smoke Karl Hell of a lot of work but for someone like me who has no need for a bead roller the results are Awesome dude 😁😁🤘🤘🤘
I wish I'd seen this two decades ago. I'm pretty impressed, thanks! I've "mau maued" sheet metal into place for most of my life, brute force. I'm enjoying seeing it "carefully moved in place".
would never have thought you could do that with a Hammer and i just watched you do exactly that freaking amazing am luring a hole bunch from you thanks
I'm glad I found your channel! I really wish I would have found it 5 years ago when I was replacing the bottom half of my 88 k2500. But lucky for me I want to redo the 89 next I'll have some more knowledge this time! Thank-you sir!
I could watch your videos all day. I know there’s all those expensive machines that do this stuff but seeing how it’s done manually really helps me understand what’s going on with technique and the material your working with.
Personally I like the added information you include called “babbling”. It really helps to understand why your doing what your doing.
Thank you so much!
Wow! This is the 2nd video I have watched, WOW!! Awsome.It is like you turned on the lights.
I work doing sheet metal on commercial airplanes. There's a guy at work that does exactly this to form many replacement parts for the aircrafts and he never really explains me the process and doesn't like to teach people. Thank you for taking the time and showing me. I'd like to see more stuff like this. Cheers!
You’re so welcome man go give it a shot!
I'm not a metal working person, and never will be, but this is absolutely fascinating to watch. Love your channel, and will watch all you do.
I appreciate that Russel! Glad that you find it interesting even though you do not desire to try it yourself
A very highly skilled young man….. love your work.
You have managed to blend both art and science in a realistic and believable demonstration, well done good sir!
Thanks so much man I really appreciate that cheers!
