You’re a great teacher Tubal showing us how it’s done without the need for fancy workshop machines! It installs a bit of confidence in having a go myself . Thanks dude 👍
I just made a removable transmission tunnel in my drag car. Im just getting into fabrication and metal work, i did it with pliers and it doesn't look too bad.
They are these ones I just cut the ends off of them to get in tighter curves.....😎👉 www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-jaw-straight-sheet-metal-seamer-98728.html?campaignid=17889101199&adsetid=139531489156&product=98728&store=402&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwydSzBhBOEiwAj0XN4I-X6tAD_gVVPYXkhkZCSQ-JBYm43nibqd_Ishcb9m6di2wc1IxEmBoCYKsQAvD_BwE
Hello Tubal, great tutorial! Now when you planish the flange, is it better to do it by hand, or can you use the planishing hammer without worry of distortion ? Ricky👍🇨🇦
What's up Ricky! A planishing hammer would be a great option! But by hand works too. You will just have to be careful not to stretch it too much or you will have to go back and shrink if the panel starts to curve again
nice , thanks for sharing this . what gauge metal are you using ? just went through this on a 57 door jamb , didnt have a bead roller, wish i saw this yesterday lol
@@BeAMetalFabricator right on bud , thank you for the reply , I can't get 20 gauge by me lol they carry 18 or 22 and won't order it . I picked up 22 gauge for PPP anal patching , it's easy to work with but it really thin to be weld . anyway thanks again , I'll be following your channel
I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm no metal fabricator but the second demonstration seemed to be the most efficient and looked as if it would only require a small amount of shrinking. Am I correct?
Thank you very much! Well since each panel was exactly the same they all took an equal amount of shrinking, the second method (hammer form) was more of a tuck shrinking method, you can see the metal gather together and create a tuck and as I proceed to hammer the tuck out the metal tends to shrink in those spots. Thanks for watching!
I used that hammer only because I like it, a metal hammer would work too! Also for a U-shaped piece, the same process applies, if the flange is on the outside of the U-shape, the metal would shrink. But if the flange is on the inside of the U-shape the metal would have to stretch. Thanks for watching man
Then the hammer form is your best bet. But a shrinker stretcher is super affordable at harbor freight. Also you can always cut the tuck and weld it in a pinch(not recommended)
Thank you for the video. Being brand new to the entire world of body work, this helps a lot!
Right on man if you want to learn more and wouldn't mind me asking you a few questions shoot me an email Tubalcainbamf@gmail.com

I know you can do it brother!!
This is a cool, comprehensive video. That third way, by hand, certainly came out pretty damn good.
Yeah the pliers worked out nicely didn't it! 👍
Plain simple.and to the.point...As always👍👍👍
💯💯💯
This a is great video, three methods of how to shape a curved flange. Top stuff young man!
Thank you!
I was surprised how good the hammer forming worked. As good if not better than the bead roller. Great video.
Yeah they all worked pretty good! Even the pliers!
@@BeAMetalFabricator I even forgot about the most simplest way. The plyers.
thank you for this videos man, each video is very interesting
I appreciate that bro! Thanks for watching
Great video and nice job with the 3 examples.
Thank you my friend I appreciate that!
🙏much appreciated brother!
Great to watch how a pro with a practiced eye can transform flat steel into having the curves needed to fix a body damage disaster.
Thank you bro I appreciate that!
thanks straight to it , well explained as always .
Appreciate that man!
Fz6 front fender issue sorted, you legend
😎👉💯 Glad I can help brother

Awesome!! Glad I could help!
@@BeAMetalFabricator I actually just found your channel today, but I see where what I learned can help me with the rest of the floors
Hahaha Oh ok gotcha!!
Excellent video, you have a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the sub!!
Link to the pliers? Awesome content!

Спасибо за видео! Какой толщины металл используете?
I'm using .063 aluminum

You're welcome.

Thanks bro!

Why did you use a plastic faced hammer on the hammer form? Curious how you would make a curve U-shaped piece.
I used that hammer only because I like it, a metal hammer would work too! Also for a U-shaped piece, the same process applies, if the flange is on the outside of the U-shape, the metal would shrink. But if the flange is on the inside of the U-shape the metal would have to stretch. Thanks for watching man
Where did you get that bead roller 😊
I got it from @mittlerbros
Got it thanks 👍
Gracias mario bros

...and if you don't have a "shrinker"?
Then the hammer form is your best bet. But a shrinker stretcher is super affordable at harbor freight. Also you can always cut the tuck and weld it in a pinch(not recommended)
