I wish we had those air driven planishing hammers back when I was serving my apprenticeship as a panel beater during the mid 60’s here in the U.K.. To do what you’re doing with the hood (we call them bonnets), I’d have used a variety of profiled dollies, a slapper/flipper made from a “bastard file”, a dreadnought/adjustable body file & a pot of thinned down primer and a paint brush. The slapper having a cross hatched surface would show me where I was making contact with the dolly when bringing up the low spots. The bodyfile to show where I had raised the low spots and which areas I needed to still refine. I’m retired now, almost seventy years old and I loved going to work every day. It’s so encouraging to see a younger generation carrying on the old traditions of metal finishing but having the benefit of using tools that make the job less “wearing” on your hands. Thanks for sharing, very enjoyable and educational. 👍👍👍
This young fellow is determined, that’s why he’s soooo good!
Interesting observation, or rather I should say articulation of. If you hadn't have said it I probably never would have thought about it much, but yeah - I think you're correct.
Jus saying...now I know why my dent removal didnt work! You gave me more relevant info than Ive gotten from anyone. thank you! now Im willing to try again. You have a new sub.
I love this kind of feedback John thank you so much I’m glad the info is coming across!
Well done...metal work is a true craft! I learned a shitload in only 2 of your clips. Thank you Carl
I am amazed that this level of craftsmanship still exists .... proud of you, man!
Props to the camera person. Moving to show all the angles is a win 🍻
Right!? She’s getting really good not showing the important stuff
I should be out welding earning $150 per hour as I own my own business and have work lined up waiting on me, but instead I'm binge-watching your channel. You do shit with metal I had no idea could be done. Awesome. Thanks for the entertainment that's also education. The best kind.
Wow man what a compliment! Keep on keeping on!
The youtube algorithms at it again. I was just trying to figure out how to fix the roof on my old wagoneer and magically this video is suggested. liked and subscribed.
Awesome man! Welcome to the channel glad you are here for it cheers!
it's funny at car show how most people don't have a clue as to how much work it takes to build or restore a car. I try to take photos of all my builds as the progress to show how much time and effort goes into a project even a rat rod. People are amazed at the hours spent. Good video. I usually always learn something from your videos..keep up the good work
Thanks so much you’re absolutely right many don’t understand the hours sometimes even customers lol cheers Ken
Nice to see a true craftsman doing good work.
Great Part 2! Amazing to see what a professional can accomplish with the correct tools and techniques.
Hi a kiwi here with a r32 Nissan skyline 2.5 manual, I have had a couple of small dings in the front left panel and some backed out of a park next to me and put a lovely dent in the back Rh panel and I got most of that out with my hand but lots of little dents remain and these videos are gonna help a lot with getting them out. 🍻🍻🍻🔥☕☕☕
Right on Bret I’m glad those videos are going to help you out! Light hits with the hammer careful not to stretch the newer thin metal is easy to stretch too much
Inspirational! Your videos gave me the confidence to do some bodywork on an old '59 chevy bus I bought. Welding is my thing, totally like a fish out of water with bodywork though... you have an incredible amount of skill and I appreciate you sharing it.
That air planisher rig is genius!
Ah ha. I just watched part one earlier, and while I learnt about the ting, here I learnt the other side of the coin with the die.
Awesome stuff man.
Your presentation is straight forward, and your passion for your craft is evident.
You have a lot of talent i wish you would show a forgotten art of how to use lead sometimes when its needed i learned the hard way and have never forgotten it and the special tips you need to use with your torch it does make a difference thanks again Michael
Wow this guy is a master of steel
Great video, like your attitude and ingenuity. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much cheers!
You are an inspiration, young man. I’ve seen those shrinking discs for years, but have never seen the process explained this well.
Thank you sir! I greatly appreciate that 🙏 I’m happy to know that I explained it well!
Easy to see you love your work on vintage cars. You are a master at your craft. I restore vintage bicycles. Nearly all of them have fenders and have dents and dings. I like to work by hand like yourself. Takes patients to do what we do. I make tools that I need that are not made like you did from the leaf spring. I have learned a lot from you sir. Great work my man. What we do is an art and you do it well. Keep educating! "Vintage Bike Restoration Guy".
Excellent explanation of the processes in good clear language, with excellent camera work also. Credit to both of you. Puts 90% of youtube 'instructional' videos to shame. I've subscribed and will be watching more of your content. Congrats from the UK.
Your willingness to share your knowledge and skill is priceless. This set of videos has helped me understand a lot more of the principal of moving the metal the way it needs to go. Great stuff. I'm slowly learning the body work/metal work techniques and your videos are my classroom. Thank you Sensei.
Good stuff Karl, I'm slowly working up to attempting some repairs, this sort of information is exactly what I was after - explained clearly and simply. Thanks man.
You were recommended by Hardcore Fab. I am so glad he sent us here. I learned so much in the 1st video I watched. It makes me want to go and beat on some metal. You are an excellent teacher. Thank You
That’s great to hear! I had a rough time finding out this stuff early on before RUclips. I just love that the platform can reach so man so easy. Go beat some metal!
I have a ‘63 Impala SS that’s all original, but needs some small stuff body wise. These couple videos are badass and are a huge help to get started on learning hammer and dolly basics…you got a subscribe from me! Keep up the good work. You have a knack for teaching/explaining.
First off….bravo and mega awesome points for working on a Willys. Second, mad skills. Made skills
8:00 was exactly what I've been missing. Thanks!
If I hadn't seen it with my own eye's , I wouldn't have believed it , Karl is a metal working genius !
Wow! You are one hell of a teacher dude!!!
Listening for the pitch change is also a great tip. It will start out as thud thud thud and start getting a higher pitch as your getting closer. When the dolly and the slapper meet it will become a high pitch tink tink tink. This is extremely important when putting on a door skin because any waves on the inside of the door frame side of the skin equates to a wave on the outside of the door edge. So if you listen for the dolly and hammer to tink then you will know its even inside and out. You wont need any bondo on the face of the door skin.
Amazing Craftsmanship, glad I found your channel.
Something i doubt I will ever do......but awesome to watch and admire your talent!
My son just gifted me a set of hammers and dollies. Your videos are just what I needed! Much appreciated. New sub.
Learning alot from you, I restore cars and trucks am 64 yes. Old....still learning, thank you Carl.
Just started watching you, Halfass Customs recommended you and I am enjoying the way you talk us through everything. Really well made video.
Thank you Dean 🙏 I am glad you are enjoying the content !
I watched Brent at Halfass Kustoms and saw that same shout out to you, Carl. Glad I stopped by. I have a huge dent in a '65 Impala SS door that I need to straighten out. I'll be using your tips.
Great. Pleasure to watch
Fascinating. Can't imagine though where he gets that level of patience.
Haha it doesn’t always come easy!! Thanks so much for watching Michael!
Thanks for making this vid, recently damaged some metal products at the warehouse when a pallet collapsed from the forklift. Got a dent repair kit and had no idea of where to begin until your video. Thanks a lot again!
Thank you . I love videos that educate , I was looking for information on working my honda 175 mudguard back into shape . Very informative and presented well without the forced humour of some . Regards and best wishes from the UK
Thank you will!
This is a lost art. You should offer classes. I’d take a week of it. I’m sure it would be the best weeks of vacation of my life.
A lost art. Great craftsmanship!
Damn Derby, where you been? I just found my new favorite channel! Fantastic content 👌Thank you Sir
That’s so awesome to hear man!! We really appreciate that! Thanks so much for checking us out! 👊🏼
Good, 3X. Good video, good workmanship, good explanation. Thank you.
Merci Carl pour ta bonne humeur et ton entousiasme .j ai encore appris des trucs ce matin .thank you very much .
Philippe
You are good at that sheet metal work! Never seen anyone make it look that easy.
As all of your video's I learned a few tricks. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome I really got a kick out of you trying to push the dent out of a Studebaker hood made of real metal made back in the day and I learned a lot you got a new fan.
Right on man welcome to the channel!
Great video. I learned a lot. I probably will never apply this to a vehicle's sheet metal, but I do other sheet metal work where it will apply as well. Thanx
Even I could understand your method, very good demo . 10 of 10
Awesome man so glad the info is clear!
Holy sh**, damn. You are the master of your domain sir. very impressive work.
This was the best plannishing hammer tutorial I have seen in a long time. Thanks.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting
I use my aircraft rivet gun to planish. I didn't know they had big frame to hold what is essentially a rivet gun. Cool. I'm just a amatuer and grabbed the gun one day when I was borrowing the neighbors car trailer. It had a bad ding on the fender that hit the tire. I did have to use a torch and shrink the metal a bit. Cool!
That’s really cool man! Use what ya got! Planishing hammers are essentially the same tool 👊🏼
New subscriber. RUclips random suggested your site and now i'm binge watching every video....Makes me want to beat out the thousands of dents in my 70 GMC! Awesome Content!!! Thanks
Super duidelijk video leerzaam, je bent een echte vakman. Je legt goed uit met niet te veel tekst precies genoeg ga zo door
Thanks Karl for giving me (an amateur hack) the confidence to tackle a dent that’s been on my Wildcat since I got it a decade ago!
You are showing people the lost art of true body work . Thanks for sharing as some of us do our own work on our old cars that my friend is what makes the difference between a so so car and a great car .
Awesome man glad you’re enjoying it! Happy to share as much as I can still lots to learn
Hi Karl, really enjoying your video’s. You are great at explaining what you are doing its very educating and watching a guy working who really enjoys his work is refreshing. I would love you to do a video on oil canning and how to remedy this problem. Ive got this problem on a f100 hood over here in the UK, would really appreciate your help. Keep up the good work
Really awesome, exactly the kind of work I'm looking into at the moment.
Good tips and helpful insight 👌
Blown away by your panelbeating skills.
Keep at it, u the man 😲
hope you show the shrink disk as I've never used one of them as of yet
hell ya man! just got some new ones in the mail, and I'm stoked to try them out. Will definitely make a video on that
This guy could stamp his own new car from a pile of sheet metal, I'm too impressed👍
Thanks man maybe one day I’ll work up to it!
My dad is 79 and started doing body work when he was 17, this is how he still does it to this day. Great video from a younger guy. The only thing I can tell you is you really need to wear ear protection man. Save your ears.
Yes this video got a lot of comments about my ear protection and I promise I am wearing it every day now! Thank you very much for looking out I do appreciate it. I bet your dad is a wealth of knowledge
Very interesting...I am learning more and more with each video.
Hello from Russia, video class, watched in one breath, super!
Thanks so much man cheers!
Really enjoyed your teaching technique and the DIY hamming tools you've created.
Again........ brilliant. And your tools you are making are as top notch as everything else you do Karl!
Good on ya mate!
Cheers, Steve.
Love these two videos, I hope to try my hand on some old bodywork. Great gob on that hood.
Learned a lot here today. Thank you. Time to start a new approach.
Unfortunately an inexperienced me found a Planishing Hammer cheap, and made a mess outta my roof skin on a 1950 Ford I had chopped. It can really stretch metal if not used properly. Great video
Absolutely love it man! Great info without the ego, cheese or drama on other channels... 👌
Thanks a lot for that feedback! I just want to give a good clean clear content
Hey buddy another subscriber here, love your videos and thanks heaps, me and my father been restoring cars for many years, we are both trades mechanics but also do all the body work and ourselves. Good too learn all these tricks from a professional like you. Keep up the good work and thanks again. From Sydney Australia 🙋🏻♂️
