The “compass” tools are called dividers 😉. Another great video Travis 👍👍 you have the knack of explaining techniques that basically makes things simple
nice tips! another one is once you buy that profile gauge, wax and grease remove the oil on it since they store it oiled to prevent the needles from rusting !
AVmech is close but a compass has a connection from one leg to the other. Most can be locked by screw or have a long screw mounted to pivots. Used on ships, aircraft and precise mapping on paper or metal. A divider has a single top pivot connecting two legs together under tension. You have just entered 100+ year old world of coach building. Body was made by one company while the chassis & power train was built by the car company. A very good explanation of hammer and dolly planning with a bead roller used to create other profiles. My Datsun 1600 Roadster has a full box frame and power train by Nissan. The body was built in England with British standard bolts and threads. Great job of teaching to develop a plan ahead of slicing & welding, hoping for the best! Thanks.
Very informative video. Love your videos. Restoring my 50 Ford F1. Wishing I had all the kool tools. I'm doing it all by hand. Thus far, the patch panels have worked great for me. They are never perfect. But, can get them where I need them.
Here’s a video on the same thing it's has all the action footage left in it. How-To Replace the BOTTOM of a Car Door - Rust Repair ruclips.net/video/TwZeWB-LYDk/видео.html
I have a big 80 gallon ingersol Rand I forget the cfm but it doesn’t keep up as much as I’d like with 4 guys in my shop. Get way more cfm than you think you’ll need.
You always advocate fitting the patch as close as possible to the opening the patch goes into. That is only true if you are tig welding. Doesn't the expansion while welding cause the gap/fit to close and cross over it's self. If you are mig welding wouldn't you recommend a gap between the body and patch. 60 years ago when I took a welding class, we had a very expensive water cooled tig torch. I didn't spend much time with it because I didn't think I would ever own one. Now, thanks to the Chinese, I have one but I went to get a small bottle of gas to try it with. $3oo --- wow! I already have 3 tanks to maintain, (oxy/act/mix). Is tig welding that critical that DIY'ers should rent another tank??
Couple things…. 1, Perfect fitting panels that are tight with no gaps is required tig or MiG doesn’t matter. 2, no welds expand but they do shrink this is where you get an overlap as you mentioned. If you hammer and dolly the tack welds it will relax right back to the state you started with. 3, the only time you want a gap or a fillet is doing thicker structural steel not sheet metal. Lastly the reason tig is superior is the strength and ability to hammer/dolly out the warpage which happens from the weld seam shrinking. In my opinion it’s worth tig welding but it is not for everyone. Can you get a good result with MiG sure! Do what works for you, your time, and your budget. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

In sheetmetal class they were called dividers. Makes sense as you often use them to divide distance
Yes!! 👍🏻

Talk about perfection, you guys rock.
Thank you!
Great explanations as always. Recommendation - probably add more hands-on action footage to the videos.

Haven’t seen you on much lately

Never gets old
👊🏻👍🏻
Excellent......
Many many thanks
May I ask what air compressor you use? Does it keep up with all your tools? Thank you. Have a great weekend!
