A further comment. You could easily incorporate the lower die from the previous tool so this works as a stretcher… take the concept a step further and incorporate your shrinking dies from the tool before into the upper die holder with a removable handle- suddenly you have created a 17 in one tool with endless possibilities. Rock on man - this tooling series is wicked. Thank you
I've loved following your work...but this DIY TOOL series really takes it to another level. I hope you keep going with these ideas. I'm a hacker/hobbyist, that would love to put a little more "finish" or detail on some of my projects, your ideas make me feel "yeah, I could do that". Thanks.
You could offer Elio wigs in the merch store.
Elio wig welding caps
I find myself looking more at his hair than paying attention to the video 😂
😂😅😂😅😂
You beat me to it. If this was someones first time watching a video. You'd think he was wearing a wig. As someone who's been balled since his 20s, I love it. Let that shit flow dude!
This comment wins the internet for today.
Try a spiral flute tap, they push the chip forward and are designed for through holes, you won't believe how much better they work! I love the tool building videos you do!
I agree and I’ll go one further. I push a hex nut over the square drive shank on my taps. Push them down in a vise with a socket until they bottom out. Use a cutoff wheel to cut off the square until it’s flush with the nut. The nut will hold pretty tight and generally slips (not always) before the tap breaks. With the nut pressed on you can use an impact, a socket and ratchet, or a wrench on your taps. It’s great for getting deep into hard to reach places. I’ve been doing this for years at work and it’s gotten me out of some tight spots. Always a great show, Karl. Thanks for bringing us along
You are mixing spiral flute and spiral point. Spiral flute for blind holes and spiral point for thru holes.
😂That was a brain fart, sorry@@nicktube1857
I appreciate being in the room with you two while you think though the design. That was great to see. You and Elio make a great team!
Also, that curved bead looks killer!
These videos are never to long. Love these videos on making tools. You are a natural at making great things.
I greatly appreciate the format of your videos - the "why" of it and not just the "how" of it. There are eleventy-billion videos out there of people making things, but very few get into the thought processes involved. So you either make it just like they do and don't improve upon it or you go down dead ends in your own modifications that the original maker probably considered and rejected for the same reasons you're encountering. Hearing and seeing the process helps those watching to expand their own understanding of what is going on instead of just blindly following along.
And I love the back and forth with Elio. Again, it shows the process of design and not just the end result. Although, Elio needs his own microphone because parts of his input get muddled in the background. ;)
I’ve watched this several times and still learn something new. Watching your brain work through your hands is a pleasure to watch! Wizardry!
Pretty cool you teaching us how to build our own tools Karl! Thanks man, you guys got it going on!
You guys have great energy at the shop. Nice to see the whole process and engineering behind the machine. Your drive to make the dies perfect is next to none. I would have been happy with the first result. Thanks for the awesome year of videos. Lets hope the next year will be as great or even better!
I considered doing something like that before and didn’t think an air hammer would be enough. This proved me wrong and I now want one.
For the dies, you could mark them with a sharpie, use it, then polish away the light spots until you have a consistent contact patch.
And what about casting a die with something? Kirksite maybe?
Cutting both halves of the die in the plasma cutter would get you a close start and maybe ready to polish.
1978 habe ich auch Autospengler und Lackierer gelernt. Hervorragende Arbeit. Hab viel dazu gelernt. Danke. Grüße aus Österreich 👍
This is an amazing design- youve done a great job. I work in a 7 x 4m shed, and once you put a car in there: dont have room for a lot of the bigger metalworking tools. This thing is so awesome in that its compact! Its on my wishlist now
Wondering if an adjustable spring loaded action pulling against the moving arm would enhance the machine? It could be as simple as a spring with an eye bolt going trough a bracket with a through knob to tighten tension.
Love your videos. You are such a creative young man with a great work ethic!
To keep the top die clamping the work piece, instead of jumping around freely? I was thinking the same thing!
Have nostalgia of being a kid watching my dad build the machines from the popular mechanics magazine...great job guys
Hi Karl ... Matt here again... this is awesome. Really keen to see you take this to the next level and add the planishing elements to it please... For someone like me that follows you to learn/ grow etc and I'm in a small garage setup a tool like this will be amazing covers so many applications and doesn't take up much space... PERFECT! please do another video expanding it!
Watching this Video Elio has the Creative Flow energized in you Karl. That is one real Cool Tool you made. Excellent collaboration guys
This is sooo cool! Many of the commercially available tools are overkill and overpriced for the weekend hobbiest like myself. What a great idea you have to produce these for sale as a kit or to sell just the design.
Fantastic design/engineering and problem solving! Well done. Go Karl and Elio, keep moving forward!
What an amazing compact tool, love that you incorporated so many functions too. What a great offering for those wanting to move up to creating beaded panels for prewar cars/trucks.
Hi Carl,
It is always astonishing to me what ideas - you had this year! Many thanks for all the videos!
All the best wishes to you and your family - see you in 2024
A fan from Germany

Nice!
I've seen Joe Martin pre-strech a little with a planishing hammer along the line of the raised feature before you start the beading. It helps control the minor warping you are getting.
It is so nice that you did your design on paper rather then CAD. I have paper and a pen. but I am not very high tech savoy. I am old school and I can see the finished product when looking at paper. But computer screens you have to move it around too much, THANKS !! Keep up these tool builds !!
Man this is great! A deeper throat to make floor pans would be a slam dunk!!!
The choice of music is really boss Karl ..
Cool 😊
I really enjoy this channel because not only are you a shaping wizard you're also an inventive, clever tool maker. That machine is useful and it's cheap to make.
Being a part time blacksmith, the only thing I would have done different is to hot rivet the frame together rather than using expensive hardware. I would have added countersinks or counterbores to the holes so that I could rivet it together flush sided and make it even cheaper.
Hey Karl, really fab shop tool there. I understood the bolting it all together right up until you welded the gun head onto all 3 pieces. After that all I could think was why not just weld the framework together instead of bolting?
The gun head could have been a bolt on design, leaving room for future options?
I made a version of the previous stretcher hammer, it works awesome, total game changer for wheel arch rust repairs.
edit: the air hammer tool holder for those planishing dies exists, I saw them all over ebay a minute ago. They're just super expensive!
This is a fabulous idea. I can see a lot of potential for adding all kinds of beaded panel work for anything, even irregular panels. So versatile! If its reach was extended you could make concentric beads on larger and circular panels 😀 And a very Happy New Year to you, Karl. Nickie
Just when I thought I'd made all the tools I need to make other tools to work on my projects along comes Karl with another. This one is awesome and has endless possibilities. Any guesses what I'll be starting tomorrow......... Have a great 2024 everyone. Just a thought, why the grub screws? why not bolts all the way through?
I did something pretty similar, using my existing plannishing hammer, to reform a bend on a side panel on a vintage tractor. The bend had become deformed so i made two anvils to match the curve profile and it can up really well. I could use your ideas here to modify it to do beads too.....thanks for the inspiration
Absolutely wicked tool, Karl 😮. Great things happen when you and Elio put your brains together.
@ 1:43 I like your choice of pneumatic to polish conversion kit. Normal people who build anything at all don't do that. I like your humor ha ha
WOW!
Just when I thought your little rattle gun stretcher couldn't be topped! A cheap portable Pullmax 👍👍👍👍
I gotta have one!
Yep, another cool tool. Also will be super interested in the Norcal class.
Pull the center plate back a few mm at the top where the air hammer holder goes, that way it will be easier to get the holder centered and square as it will drop into the grove made by the two outer plates being that bit further out than the centre plate. You might also get a better striking angel if the swinging die holder arm is L shape with the pivot point higher or lower than the die.
Great lil tool bud👍micro pull max ish
I like the things you make/do in your shop. I really like your troubleshooting to figure out that which needs to be figured out!
Nice! It was a lot of fun seeing the whole thought process and designing of the hammer. It's definitely a design that I'll keep in mind and might build down the road. It did give me some ideas for some machines I've been planning to build and I got an idea for another machine just watching. Great work!
Great year of videos. Love all the content. You helped me so much with my metal work. Thank you.
You keep making the coolest stuff I've ever seen and then outdoing yourself with the next one. I'll be building one of these.
Hi, great idea, looks like an easy tool to make and use. What about welding balls from different size ball bearings or ball valves on the holders? Unless you grind the surface you will miss the flat spot, but I think it will produce a perfect ending to the bead.
I've been away for a bit, but really enjoy the tool making videos! You are the reigning DIY king of RUclips, chive on brother chive on!
Hi Karl and Elio, this is a great little tool. I can see the potential for lots of profiles. Loving these how to videos.
You guys, there are real metal tamers. Good job, I like it!!👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
I don't even wait to hit the like button. I already know the quality that's coming. Love this channel
Hey Karl,
I really enjoy these videos where you make tools we can make for ourselves.
On this one I wondered why you did not just weld the two plates together.
Then you mentioned using any of the bolts to add on parts, good thinking.
About your noisy compressor !
You can make it so much quieter by building a cabinet around it with one side opening to allow for checking oil.
Or you can put in a small door or even a window to view the oil level window built into the compressor.
If you do not already have an automatic blow off valve on the bottom of the tank, you can use the type of drain valve truckers use to drain water from their air tanks.
Some trucks have the automatic valves also.
Just drill a hole in the lower part of the cabinet for a rod or cable to attach to the valve.
Then let it protrude out so you can push or pull to drain the water from the tank.
Just remember to do it if not daily then weekly !
Allow plenty of room for fresh cool air around the tank.
Putting a small box fan near the bottom of the cabinet to push air into the cabinet, with a vent the same size as the fan opening at the top at least a foot above the compressor and motor.
The fan can be wired into one leg of the 220 volt line supplying power to the motor so it only runs when needed.
Putting the vent up top allows any residual heat to escape as hot air rises.
Insulating the inside of the cabinet will help to quiet the sound very well.
Thanks to you and Leo for your videos.
Take Care
Your music while taping sounds like the music from like a early 90s movie like the BMX movie rad! I see myself needing one of these!
That is an absolutely brilliant design! Maybe you can offer it without the air hammer and foot pedal for people that already have an air hammer...would save on the shipping too. Maybe throw in an Elio wig welding cap for the 1st 10 orders! Lol..
Good on you. The tool will become a must for many metal workers.
I got all excited for a kit, but no way am I going to california. You got me all excited as a Canadian, maybe I could actually get my hands on some good stuff! Keep up the good work, guys. I'm not into hot rods but I do fix cars and turn metal into scrap.
$735 CAD for this shipped in Canada is a bit ridiculous.
The cost of the plate has sky rocketed, but you could nearly buy two 4x8 sheets for the cost of the kit. Air hammers from Princess Auto on sale are $25-$30, regular $50.
I understand you're paying for the idea, but c'mon.
Karl I love the simple design just like I like building my custom built tools I'm definitely building one thanks for the great idea I've been a fan of your channel I can relate to it so much.
I'd luv to see an Automatic Hacksaw build, it's a much needed peice of tooling, in any sized shop. Thanks again ah!
Nice! 👍I was looking at buying a bead roller but I think this would be a lot better tool for what I need to do.
Happy holidays to you and your family Karl!
Love the apparel I got for Xmas!
👊😁
Also maybe rounding the outside corners of the die might help it more smoothly follow the contours of the guide shape your trying to produce. The corners might be getting hung up as it’s simultaneously trying to follow the tight guide and the shape it’s producing. This will lead to error in locating AND bead distortion as it bounces back and forth as it tries to negotiate both things.
Been tapping like that ever since they had cordless drills ,use your clutch settings definitely more forgiving on smaller taps and tighter tolerances.
That really works so well dude what a wonderful design so cool and so simple 👍
Great machine, Karl!
Now make another one, cut the frame in half, bolt the top and bottom halves to your bead roller, so that you get the same capability, with the capacity of the bead roller's depth. 😂
Thank you K
Love all the hard work
Amazing idea
Just an idea after watching it work, maybe a light spring under the upper die arm linkage, that would keep the upper die in a raised position for when starting a new piece and finishing to help remove the work piece ???? on long pieces I could see where it really probly would not be needed, but for smaller stuff, it might help out or if you had a bunch of small work ( production parts ) . THIS IS A COOL DESIGN THOUGH !!!! LOVE IT THANKS FOR SHARING THE VIDEO and your TIME !!!!!
Great video Karl a bit off advice to make die's use your milling machine . For example place a 50mm square in the vice drill two holes at each end in the centre line the same size as your mill bit. Then mill your shape in the middle centre line all the way through. Then cut through the ends with a cut off wheel then mill the end excess of. Matching male and female dies.
Karl as ever brill vid and subject matter. However, on this one you don't show how to connect a foot pedal? I would love it if you could go through a how to add a foot pedal video for us. Sorry if I have missed it but it would be a great help, Joe
Completely outstanding for an old art is incredible thank you for sharing
So many tools, so many machine, nice garage, many thanks for ideas, design, videos .
Carl can I say thank you for all the amazing teaching you do I'm learning so much from you and I'm an old fart about to start a big car build thanks to you in part
I own a 94 Mustang GT with a bit of bodywork needed. I am very optimistic that with your video series, I may be able to actually do some bodywork.
Hi Karl and co
You can make ms plattens to fit your filing machine and ds tape ,abrasive paper to them for pre polishing dies. Any dies you wish to retain could be made from bisalloy plate and hardened after polishing
Regards John 😎🇦🇺🐈⬛
Been inspired and picking up valuable info since day 1. Happy new year and keep up the great content. Love the mix of stuff you do.
Love this new tool! I'm just finishing up copying your stretcher from the last video! What if you made the tooling out of 3/4 square stock for the profiles then weld on a 1/4 plate to hold in the fixture? That would give you a larger flat for a smoother hammering surface. Love this tool! Great, now i gotta build this one too! Keep up the great work!
I would add a heavy duty spring to pull it tighter together on your design there, so when it does clamp together, it’s actually spring loading too. It’s gonna give it away better finish
If you laminate the dies to make them wider it might help with deformation and surface finish.
Great Karl, now I have to build another tool, you just keep making my life easier,, ❤❤
Love the videos, especially The tool builds. it looks like you are using hand taps. If so get yourself some spiral point taps for power tapping. They push the chips out of the backside of the hole so don’t jam up like hand taps.
You never cease to amaze me Karl 😎 Nice having Elio to bounce things off of 😂
Hey Carl, great idea and video. I’ve really liked these “make from scrap” tools!
I have a couple of questions about this one; 1) why does it need the arm? Why not attach the top
Die directly to the hammer bit and use the arm just to prevent it from rotating? Then it would hit straight all the time.
2) should the ends of the dies taper away to prevent them from marring the panel next to the bead?
Also, a suggestion that I learned for coining the ends of the beads…use an open end wrench! Between metric and standard, you can usually fine one that fits really close. It works great and nothing to make!!!
Happy new year and keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you for doing this,anyone with reasonable metal skills would be able to make these.Have a great new year from aussie.
Great little bead hammer, you should sell it as a kit
I like them both, very well thought out and design, awesome ideas you have and changing up equipment, that plasma machine you have sure makes things possible
Cost would be freight prohibitive to AUS but if there was away you could sell the DXF files I would be all over it Karl.
Love your channel and seen every episode you’ve done.
You have a knack for passing on information easily making each episode totally addictive.
Cheers man!
I am a broken and broke disabled Vet. I am finally at a point i can start forging. My problem is that I may 30-45min. the days I can. Then I’m normally away from the forge and anvil the next 3 days. I could really use a forge press or power hammer…I don’t even have cheap flux welder. My back has taken so much of the stuff I love away from my. I did see a guy use an air tool once to concave the bottom of a barrel to make an instrument and it looked like it had a huge weight to the head. It made very light work of that drum. I tried maybe finding something like that I could mount to an arm of sorts to move it around but never found it. I did find a few used electric powered lag splitters, but again, no welder or skill. Maybe I could make something worth selling but as of right now it’s just screwing around and learning. If I didn’t live on such a tight budget I think I would just hire someone… happy new year and hope it’s a blessed one.
Finally someone offers a product!
Put a light spring under your upper die holder, so the die stay open at start and end of work piece
Karl,
Your diy tool videos are epic...
Cheap but great.
Thanks!
Another awesome simple tool we can make, Great Job Karl and Elio.
I so could do with something like this to make the outer lower sills of a transit,such a simple idea👍
Show de bola,
Parabéns
Aqui cheguei a fazer um desenho uns meses atrás justamente pensando em fazer exatamente isso, porém, não coloquei em prática ainda
Sou hobista e mexo aos poucos no meu opala 74
Awesome guys, you nailed it almost outta the box!! Love the look on your face Carl when it works just like you knew it should! How about that same curvy bead around an outside radius!?
Brilliant tool. I already ordered mine. Since watching the garbage hammer form the zephyr trim I’ve been scheming about a scaled down profile tool. You absolutely nailed it. Happy new year.
Did you order through the RUclips channel or his website, and how much was it?
@@daveherrington9112 I purchased it from the Japhands website. It was $500US. I think he is sold out but will be doing another run. Happy to support the channel
I built die holders for my cheap planishing hammer and it works great.
love these type of videos, but I really like it after you have made the tool to use to to fix something of one of your project cars.
This is a great tool! Please make these plans available! Thanks again!
Man , I wish I had your talent !!!! Happy New Year 2024!
Really like this tools you and Elio are making, this one are the next prodject for me. Nice work man 👍🏽
I can see a few improvements to make right off the bat
I think I'll have a go at making my own I can see so many uses
I love the channel. I love the content. I hate the length of your videos. I know RUclips pays more for longer vids but I, and likely many, don’t have time to devote. A series of videos for tool building would help a lot. Keep up the good work.
That, was an excellent video Karl. Needless to say I will be making one, not immediately but I will be doing it.
Instead of taking extra time on the dies for thickness make the lower die holder adjustable then you just adjust the lower die to the thickness of the material,not saying fitting up and tapering and polishing but adjustability for thickness just like a pulsar style machine is nice to have . But great job on what you've made looks and seems to work great👍
Once again my brother's you nailed it !!
Awesome karl! Thanks for the awesome video to end off the year! Happy new you to you and your family and friends as well as your followers!
This is a very useful tool, I would use this on every project.
