My Dad was a sheet mtal mechanic after WWII working on airplane wings. It's a pleasure watching you work as it gives me some insights to Dad's skills. ❤
I was the foreman of a metal fab shop and this is some of the best work that I've ever seen....
It's another level... é outro patamar 😯😯😯👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thanks Peter!
Hey Karl,
That piece you made to hold the instrument cluster matches so well.
It looks like something made in the art deco period.
You are on the right path with the whole dash.
Watching you do things in your shop gives me confidence that I can do it in my shop.
Thanks for your channel.
Take Care
It screams Art Deco, & I love it.
One of my favorite videos in this series so far.
Awesome as usual Karl. Magnificents in Metal. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.
Music is so underrated in these videos. The content is great and the music is just right.
I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one to forget the ground clamp...
Heck yeah! Super glad to see this thing back on the channel. I cannot wait to see where the roadster ends up.
Thanks mate, great to see you back at it
Man, you are a magician!
I think it looks great comming along sweetly
Can't wait for the rest of the dash to take shape, it's going to look sharp.
Very classy looking dash
This lad never fails to impress.
Love the look!
Looks great. The Bakelite knob / button idea is a great one.
Honestly this is the best RUclips video i have ever seen. Between the relaxed approach, overall message, fantastic music and pure magic flowing from your hands into the metal its an amazing piece of film. Captivating, inspiring, relaxing and exciting all in one. Im blown away. Retired carpenter learning metal working and this is food for my soul right now. Keep em coming kid.
Wow!! Thanks so much for the high praise! I’m just glad you enjoyed it. I’m so lucky to do this AND have it be enjoyed by others
@@MakeItKustom keep em coming! I love the tool building and the projects. Too many channels glaze over all the little details and you really show every step. Years ago people would hide their talents to protect their trade and their jobs from being taken you know!
Love the step-by-step videos! Because this stuff can be very challenging to do!
Karl you just amaze me on how your brain works, You had the idea the form you wanted. But getting there you struggle just a little like most of do but our struggles normally ends in frustration and our projects sit for ever. Now yours in the wonderful world of video became a product and the way you go about your process teaches us a different way of creation Now all this babal means is I love how you show to keep marching on to get what you wanted from the beginning I wish I had the room or a shop to create all the cool tools you have shown how easy it is to build great job as always and love your designs All this could have been said in one sentence Sorry
I’m a bad Chad watcher but I think I might be big fan of yours nice work
That dash is awesome. Amazing metal work but the most impressive part is how you go from a vision to how to make it happen. Love the art deco Zepher look.
Great work Karl as always
Oooh, Japan. I look forward to you sharing that with us.
They are always doing some crazy stuff.
What a wonderful design! It's just like a Flying Angel. 😎👏👍
I’m glad you built a custom dash instead of modding the Ford Dash. The Ford Dash just looked too busy and those center creases didn’t fit. Right from the start of the video I couldn’t see it working well. You’re on it buddy!
This is art! Metalevolution!
I'm digging the aesthetic You're working towards. Kool stuff as usual!
I like your vision of the dash cannot wait to see the final look.
Circular cut with a circular saw. 😎
Your videos just keep getting better and better!
This dashboard should be really crazy... Men, you are the best...😊
Bruno from France...
some of the best content on youtube. true craftsman
That's going to be absolutely beautiful!!
Karl you’re so gifted. It’s a pleasure to watch you work this metal into what you want. You are fabricator extreme. Thanks for sharing your talent! Happy Holidays to you Karl ❤️🎄
I love the design, and I like the way you worked out the metal to get the right angles.
Design, skill and all round nice guy make you my favorite Fabrication videos
Very much "Art Deco" looks great.
Its going to look great, you made the right call because it takes so much time to make an existing part match what you are thinking .
Since you are a non-wood-worker per se, seeing you cutting the radius on the UHMW board I came to think of the tale of the bumblebee that didn't know it couldn't fly :D I'm really enjoying these vids!
Let's build a dash, gets SCT and starts cleaning up sheet metal everywhere else. Something I'd do.
Killer work as always, glad to see you back on the roadster
Super creative!
I liked coming along during the evolution of your vision from Ford dash to hand-formed. You could have edited that out, but seeing how the inspiration dawned, I think, is useful.
Glad it’s worth keeping in! The whole process is always more than most see
Great work again Karl, happy holidays to you and your family.!!
Looking awesome!
Thank Awesome bro...Thank you for sharing...from South AFRICA
you might want to look at some wood working books at the router profiles for cabinet doors and counter top edges. i used to do solid surface counter tops lots of profiles out there
That dash looks incredible! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us yet again!
Outstanding......Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Keep the dash bump... it's the era of the car
Lookin' good Karl. Thanks again for sharing your skills with us.👍👍❤
Amazing how you see it in your minds eye, explain it the best you can and it comes out beautiful.
What do I think you ask well my thought is I I don't think I have ever seen anyone as skilled and modest about how good you are in what you do.
Man, those were some mad skills cutting that circle of your hammerform with the circular saw! It's looking good. You are an inspiration.
Right? I was watching and went- HOLD ON, YOU CAN'T USE A CIRCULAR SAW LIKE THAT! I was cringing as I was sure it was going to bind, kick back and bite you. And then you just finished the cut. Experience matters... Well done Karl.
Hahaha I wondered if anyone would see that. The piece was so small and flexible
Learned a new way to shape sheet metal thanks and their was so many white plastic shavings on your hat it looked like snow 🌨 lol 😂
You should be getting more likes and comments for all the amazing things you are creating.
Very cool! Love the way its coming together. Mike c
I love the 1930s Model A ford.
Great to see the homemade tools used.
It reminds me so much of my Harley Heritage gas tank Carl - good job
That dash will look unique and amazing! Those interrupted lines from different panels could look great if done right.
Can't wait to see your video of a trip to japan!
Try tilting the bottom panel, like the dashes in modern cars. The side panel's diagonal support line could form nice line for the dash
Brother you just saved me thousands. Now I'm no longer sweating/dreaming of buying a Zephyr dash. I'll take a crack at making my own version for my 35 5W. God bless
Yes!!!! So stoked to hear it!
Absolutely cool man
I like it. I love watching the pivot in thought process.
Really diggin the symmetry you are incorporating into every aspect of this car Karl😎
Thanks frank! Hope your doing well man 👊
That dash and waterfall will look quite amazing when you get it done. I really like the art deco appearance. Good for a period piece.
Thanks 🙏
Looks really good
Loving the look and the process
I like what you have created so far the vision you have. We done
You are incredibly talented man, I enjoy watching your videos
Great video. I really like being in on part of the creating process!!
Karl, one of the things you might try on a future project like this is using styrofoam. Regular home improvement store insulating styrofoam, the pink stuff, can be hot glued together and cut, sanded, and molded to form something like a dash. When you get it where you like it, you can see what the finished product will look like and function and, as a bonus, you have a ready made buck.
I think the plastic he is using is HDPE or similar.
Have you tried the extruded polystyrene board that you mentioned? My thought is that it can't be used as a buck because it is much too brittle and compressible.
Fine for making a test/mock-up though.
The problem is that shit takes time. Once you get to the level this guy is at, you see a shape in your head and everything you do makes that shape a little more clear. I would do the Styrofoam thing, but Karl is past that, I think.
@@5Perf65mmit's uhmw and that still ain't cheap!! That's a pricey mold lol at least for what looyk to be at least 3/4" thick.
I am thinking clay for my next mold. The cheap stuff you mix yourself. Maybe even sand or paper mache, because I can't do metalwork well enough to do a nice job so there is no point spending more money for the same outcome. If it saves me time even better, if it takes longer... at least I saved money and get some practise kicking myself.
Styrofoam as a hammer buck ain’t gonna work on one hand. On the other it’s gonna give you a warped piece full of edge dents.
I love the dash, the whole car is coming out beautiful. Happy Christmas.
You are an awsome fabricator and very good at educating at the same time - Keep it up 👍
Karl, live it. Great job.
Dude. Your work is incredible.
Awesome. I was thinking art deco, a minute later you said art deco. A lot of processes packed in this video. Thanks.
You are a true artist my friend
Karl, that is going to be a killer dash. Always been a fan of waterfall dashboards. Enjoy your holidays.
That is going to look class Karl. You have a great eye for the real detail can't wait to see it finished.
Karl you are amazing! Keep up the great work!
perfection 🙏
All of my experiments end up in the scrap bin. This first attempt turned out nice! I bought a contour tool from PA too, i agree it works well.
That reminds me of an art-deco clock. I like the proportions. You sure have an eye for this stuff!
Karl you are so great at what you do...your eye for detail is outstanding....I love watching you work....
Thank you...and I wish you ,your wife and all your friends safe and joyful Christmas, and a prosperous new year...
Be safe see you next year!!!
Love that gauge piece and the whole dash. Looks so awesome!
Just outstanding fabrication work😮
Absolutely amazing!
Watching how fast you can build these shapes is so satisfying! Even more after experiencing many times how hard it is to get the sheets moving like you want them to.
Karl fantastic design like it can’t wait to see the finish 👍👍👍👍👍
Your dash design is killer!! Enjoy the Holidays!
Very cool I like where the dash is going, the Japan trip sounds exciting.
That is so sweet. Im glad you let your artistic juices flow. And Im glad that you didnt use the 35 dash, They are hard to come by anymore
That dash is going to be amazing. You make it look so easy.
Oh man. At 49:54. What If the dash insert was brass??
You are a master with metal good job
Some complicated shapes going on there Carl nice . looks amazing dude the cars gonna be sick 🤙
I like the music choice 12:50 on this one 😊👌
Dude it’s all beautiful!!!!😊
Excellent workmanship, looks great 👍
Harley Primary Chain Cover 😊😊😎😎

That dash will be awesome!
I like this dash, nice work Carl
