excellent as always Ron and that's the craziest dustpan yet!
Now you just have to make a crazier handle for it.
😆😆😆
We should tell the apprentice to grind it to a point so a handle can be fitted.
Thanks so much, Tony. I didn't realize I was making another dustpan, but I guess it could be. In fact, I could attach a 6-inch diameter vacuum hose to the round end, and it would be self-cleaning!
ooooh do i smell another collaboration ?? shhh everybody hush two top tier humans are about to make a thing !!! may i suggest turning the maho into a hot rod transformer ? :)
I don't know how to thank TOT for letting me discover your channel!
Welcome!!
I’m the same, if it wasn’t for TOT I would have never found you channel. I have learned so much from your channel. Thanks!
👍
I never knew how much I needed to learn about shaping metal like this. I’ve really enjoyed these!!
Great to hear!
First Tony, now Zep? Next thing you know Jimmy will be here!
Watching Ron Covell work metal is as relaxing as watching Bob Ross paint.
I was just thinking the same thing. I keep waiting for him to make a happy tree!
Lmao you hear that Ron. People want to see you bob Ross a episode and weld a happy tree
AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😎
Everybody needs a friend. 😊
Love learning new things from a legend off the internet, what a time to be alive.
Yes, it's a great time to be alive!
Oh, PLEASE!!!
Awesome time to be alive :D
Some people can't afford a small brake but will have a tig welder ?
This is the kind of thing that I know how to do in CAD but would never expect to be done by hand. Well done!
Well, people did make things before computers were invented!
@@RonCovell im a sheet metal worker i would lay it out by triangulation pattern develoment
Stuff like this makes you appreciate the old car fenders with all the curves and lines.
Your CAD can't make it out of sheetmetal.
How do you suppose it was done before CAD?
His voice sounds like the best text-to-speech in the universe.
I love how you’re able to:
1) Find an interesting subject,
2) explain it perfectly,
3) build it perfectly - using simple tools no less, and
4) portray it so well in video format.
Talk about being multi-talented!
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Wow, thanks!
I love that you've been using relatively basic tools to show how accessible "strong work" can be to us entry level hobby types. I've been imagining a variety of projects to build with my son, working up to something like a skookum electric go cart with clean body work.
I have been a professional metalworker for over 50 years, and I have acquired a shop full of expensive, professional-level tools. I only recently learned that people relate much better to videos that show simple tools!
@@RonCovell What I enjoy the most, is that while high end tools make work easier or less labour intensive, your videos show that even with relatively basic tools, and without too much more effort, I can make relatively high quality work.
@@RonCovell Another fantastic video I agree with many of the other comments, great you set an example of wearing ppe, also the "simple tools" you use to show it can be done without the aid of expensive equipment, and yea that's a crazy dust pan...
Looking forward to the next video ...what ever it may be.
I love that you do videos with the simple tools. But I also love when you show me new ways to use my own expansive and expensive collection of great tools. You still have more. But I'm catching up.
Thank you and your crew for all the work you do making these videos.
Skookum? You an AVE fan? 😉
There is no way in H*** I would have figured that out. Wish I would have seen this stuff 40years ago. I may have had other hobbies. You are a jewel for passing this knowledge on.
I am blown away by your 3D mind. It is like a musician´s perfect pitch.
Wow - kind words indeed!
I really am taken back years. When I was an apprentice, my master sheet metal man taught me your method to use. Been so many years and I still remember him. So sad he is not with us any more. May he rest in peace. Good day Sir.
My bad for not using your name Ron. Peace
Well I've been called a square peg in a round hole, maybe this video well help sort that out.
I hope it works!
LoL
This is such a great tutorial. The pattern and the bending jig made the process so much better, and each were pretty simple to make. Years ago someone told me that fixtures, jigs, and patterns saved time and made things easier, but that hasn't sunk in until watching your videos. So many times I would try to put something together without any of that, and just flounder....or get sidetracked spending more time or money on the tools for the job than the actual job itself. You have such a good balance of that. You're inspiring me to think about the process more. Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching, and commenting!
One of the best things about today’s world is having access to educational master craftsmanship videos for free, thank you for posting sir.
You are very welcome, and I can assure you that I am constantly learning new things on CZcams, too!
I truly appreciate how you chose to use more basic tools and showcase the process in a way us hobbyists can replicate.
It also amazes me how you can hide those welds so well. Thanks for all you do, Ron!
My pleasure!
Rollation is brilliant, but I was blown away by the scribing part at the end, literally outside the box thinking.
"I have to sorry"
No no wrong end its outside the tube :P
I would have spent ages trying to come up with a way to scribe the outside and ended up with a far worse result. House tool was exceptionally simple as all truly smart things are. I was in awe of the simplicity and effectiveness!
Often the simpler solutions are best!
Ron is like the Bob Ross of the metal working world.
“ And we just add a little tack here. The fit up is beautiful!”
Thanks for the great videos.
Wow, thanks
Ha!
I just made that comment, above.
I also LOVE that there's no distracting music. We get to hear the welder fan, grinder, whatever....
You call it a success, I call it watching a skilled craftsman effortlessly going about his business! Such a pleasure to watch. Thanks Ron
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's so cool that there are videos like this on the internet. I will be referring to these forever.
Great - I do too!
I like it Ron, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Knowledge is wisdom, wisdom is powerful. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant format of premiering a pre-recorded video & being live in the chat to answer questions! Thanks Ron👍
I'm delighted with all the interest these videos are getting!
Why would a live chat be a better way to answer questions?
@@jonasthemovie Nice for those with fast/proper Internet connection. And you "get it from the horses mouth". Like watching live TV. Or like being married versus not.
Various options, will be (perceived) better, on the basis of individual preferences.
What a great privelidge it is to be able to watch a true craftsman at work. Thanks Ron, I learn a lot from you.
Wow, thanks!
Never was a friend of sheet metal, I can’t believe I am not bleeding after watching the video. Wow you sir are a real teacher.
Ron: And that looks pretty good.
Me: I need another band-aid.
Good one!
I saw this video going square to round and just had to watch,and I am glad I did.You made this look so easy and the final result was perfection.You sir are a metal magic man and I appreciate everything you do.I have learned so much from you compared to how other people do things,you blow them away with ease.Thank You so much Sir.
You are so welcome!
Very nice I just got retirement/disability. I worked as a welder,machinist, fabricator from 1971 to 2019. Nobody ever showed me that method. I sure could have used it a few times.
First video of yours I have seen won't be the last.
I have a small shop in a two car garage, hopefully some day I will be able to get back out there and finish the 5 or 6 projects I was in the middle of.
Thanks again
Bob
Good luck with your projects!
Thank you for teaching a regular guy like me about a trade I know NOTHING about. Well done!
I appreciate that!
Your geometric skills and your patience really do pay off handsomely in the piece you have created. Sure was a real pleasure to watch a highly skilled craftsman of steel do his work. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much 😀
This man is the Bob Ross of metal working ans its absolutely amazing
Totally agreed!
I am a Mechanical Technician, and I studied that method ... I only have one word for you .... perrrrrrrfect!!!! ... greetings from Argentina !! ...
Hey, thanks so much!
We’re all rolling along with you. Thanks Ron. Such a pleasure to have you visit my shop (virtually through CZcams) and provide another amazing tutorial..... 👍👍😎👍👍
Any time!
"I made a tool to scribe the outside", coincidentally enough it also functions as a bottle opener.
HAH - good one!
Lol
Everything's a bottle opener (if you're determined).
@@mattgies ....how about a pretzel?
....I dare you...... 😄😄
Ron, that is beautiful work and your Rollation™ technique is a wonderful tool for us. Thank you for sharing!
Many thanks!
Between here and This Old Tony, I have wasted an entire Long Weekend. Cheers. Best three days ever spent.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks again Ron. Keep up with the simple technique videos. They are a great help to those of us who have to come up with solutions on the fly outside the shop.
Great stuff, Ron! Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!
Glad it was helpful!
Ron, great techniques for many projects! "But wait there's more"! ... " TOT - Dust Pan"! ... Food Processor Funnel! .... Fan Shroud! : )
Your sharing what you know, with clarity, helps my life. For most of my 74 years, I have both math laid out & trial and erred patterns for 3d fabrications in glass, wood, fabric or metal. Rollation is a fine gift I wish I'd known earlier. Thank you Ron.
I did a copper smithing apprenticeship on the Rhodesia Railways in the 1970's. I haven't done any metal work for 40 years. I've just bought a Tig welder and you have inspired me to get stuck in and create a few pieces. Excellent series with clear instructions.
Very cool!
Love the videos Ron.
Great!
This is amazing! So simple yet so effective! I've dropped my jaw, I can't find few of my teeth now, but never mind that, I've learnt something new today and that makes me happy!
Wonderful!
This is great, practical how-to content made by a true master of the craft. A real treat to watch.
Ron Covell is the Bob Ross of the machining world.
Photo looks GREAT, Ron! Can't wait to watch the master at work.
It won't be long now!
Can't wait to see this, Ron! Thank you!
Hope you like it!
@@RonCovell Both the part and video came out perfect! Thank you!
more than 1,400 comments, more than 300,000 views ( march 2021) , it's a deserved popularity, because you teach
us with grace , kindness & efficiency, best regards from France & Canada !
Thanks so much, and honestly, I was surprised that this particular video got so much attention!
Ron is the most calm and collected guy , soothing to listen and watch you work .
Thanks!
The Bob Ross of sheet metal forming!
"Happy little hammer taps. tap, tap, tap"
“Covell’s Foil Rollation Pattern Paper” sounds like a good product idea to me!
I LOVE it!
@@RonCovell I’d order a roll of it tomorrow - as long as the shipping to Canada isn’t too expensive! :-)
Art!
Great craftsmanship . A seemingly simple thing for a layman requires so much of inguinity. Thank you for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
I’m in the sheet metal industry and this here has helped me a lot thank you sir!
Great to hear!
Ron, I commend you for the endless possibilities this series of videos has given me and countless others. Thank you so much.
Wow, thanks!
Ron, Thank you for these invaluable videos! Not only do I find them educational, but also entertaining. I’m always looking to add to my arsenal of knowledge.
Awesome, thank you!
A fantastic teacher, master craftsman and extremely skilled artist. We are truly blessed to have you, Mr. Covell. You are lucky to live in this era, though, as these works seem like magic or witchcraft to us mere mortals!
Thanks so much!
Having done a lot of machine build work in the past, your videos take me back to the shop floor and trying to show the young guys how to make anything we needed to get the job done. Because as you know you always have the parts you don't need for the job and the order time to get them is always 2 weeks after the date you need to ship what ever job your working on.... It was always fun and I loved making the parts I needed....
That is awesome!
Mister Ron I run across your videos a few weeks ago and I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom it has helped me tremendously as a backyard mechanic and farm boy building and working on my projects really appreciate the videos and can't wait to see the next ones :):):)
Welcome aboard!!
I particularly appreciate how Ron demonstrates making/using special tools for those of us who do not have the commercial equipment that many pros can afford (and have room for). Thanks, Ron!
Being a professional metalworker for over 50 years, I do have a lot of high-end (expensive) equipment. I only recently learned that most people enjoy seeing how much you can do with simple tools!
I doubt there's a more Superior teacher/mentor in this profession than this Master. So outstanding skills that - anyone with "what ever" background - get fascinated!! I was once blessed with a teacher
reminding of you (in woodcrafts) Ron in many ways! Thank you for sharing high valued skills!
Wow, thank you!
Ron having recently discovered your videos, I am renewed in my interest in metal. I have built hot rods and 4x4 stuff my entire life. I started sanding cars when I was 6 with my dad. He chopped Mercs and built motors and did his own paint and pinstripe. I enjoy working with my sons. 50 now and while my time will wind down, my 23 and 18 year old sons are just getting going. I have shown them your channel and look forward to doing these projects with them. You are truly an inspiration. Thank You
Eric - it's so important that we continue the chain of handing down this important knowledge to the next generation. I'm glad you are doing your part!
This is another great example of proper preparation pays off! Excellent work Ron!
This series is AMAZING! ! ! Very ingenious and you are teaching it very well. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
Ron - I am amazed !!!
It's one thing to model it in software, it another to see it in practice - You are brilliant !!
Thx Ron, I’ve heard about your DVD’s and other creators mention your work, I was really surprised to see your video pop up in my recommendations and the quality of presentation, thought and execution really stands out. Mind blown.
Cool, thanks! I have a lot more videos on CZcams, and you may enjoy browsing through them.
Genius at work and the best instructional video on rollation on the web, thanks for knowledge.
Wow, thanks!
Absolutely awesome Ron. Any trainers out there who are endeavouring to teach this stuff need look no further than your videos. They are the blueprint right there.
Awesome! Thank you!
RON I freaking love your work! Thank you for teaching this to anyone who cares. I know we have computer to machine manufacturing these days, but seeing stuff that seems complicated done by hand with such finese is inspiring. Makes me wonder how much better our lives have really gotten with these machines, or if we have just weakend ourselves for depending on something a computer.
Something else I really appreciate is that your videos are practical and real, when the paint runs you don't grab the acetone and reshoot the video. I appreciate that you respect us enough to not pretend like you are master of the universe. Sometimes paint runs, sometimes we bend the metal past 90 degrees and when that stuff gets hidden, sadly, people get demoralized when they make mistakes and the professionals show perfection. Working through perceived problems is good for everyone.
On a side note, watching you use those dividers made me want a pair. There was an episode of Tony's where he took us all on a date to his favorite BBQ joint and talked about some of his favorite tools. Would be great to see some of those tools you can't live without. Thanks again for the brilliant work!
Thanks for the great idea, and for your kind comments!
Amazing work. My whole live I thought I need "a full metal form and 80 tons hydraulic press" for piece like this :) Your videos opened a new world to me. Thank you Ron.
You are welcome!
I watch all your videos, may not ever attempt to make the same projects you work on, but I learn to apply your methods in my hobby coppersmithing projects, you and Jere are my metal fabrication online teachers.
Cool, thanks!
That my friend is a thing of beauty. As an ex Ford toolmaker in the UK, they never taught us that in fabrication. Top notch :-)
Absolutely great stuff. Easily approachable and to the point video about seemingly complex part.
Much appreciated!
Keep all and any videos coming! These videos are a real treat!
More to come!
Wow. Amazed again. I love the use of simple tools that anyone could have in their garage. The outside scribe idea is so simple yet I never thought of that. Thanks for sharing your skill.
Glad you liked it!
I don't think I will ever need this but it sure has been fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I do the fixing around here that can be done and if I can't fix it, being short from breaking my spine. I lost 4 inches, then we have to call someone in to help us, and I am the girlfriend. I never got to take wood shop or metal shop in school and I'm 59. Home Ec alone don't cut it. I am only now realizing I have a serious need inside me to make and fix things beyond crafters level. :D Sometimes you never know what info you might need so I try to learn a lot of neat stuff. I think it is neat and absurd for me to be trying to learn stuff like this at my age, which tickles me to no end. I read if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room so that's why CZcams tutorials are the best! You made my day. Been angry because I had to go out with a bb gun and scare off someone's gigantic loud birds that were screaming bloody murder to get inside our gate to get at my cats I reckon. Girlfriend duties. :D Not even angry anymore but I screamed to the top of my lungs they better put those dangerous birds up before I kill them all. Getting back to the vid calmed me down. Beautiful welds, btw. Both my exes did welding, and I worked in a horse trailer factory, so I can tell. by the end of this video I am like "Dayum! Looks like it was born that way!"
I am inspired by your new-found passion for learning how to do new things. For perspective, I'm 78, and I'm still on a mission to learn new things too!
@@RonCovell That's awesome! I will be watching more of your videos. I've just been weed eating to make my yard less attractive to those giant birds. I think they are geese but never seen any like this. Short necks. White feathers with black accents. Honk louder than a train whistle. I really will kill them. I mangled 3 wild chickens when they came at me, with my red rider, which is why it is Gorilla taped together I bent it up so bad. :D Grabbed them up with my reacher grabber and put them in the dumpster. Irresponsible pet owners suck. :D BB's will not penetrate but I hiss at them like an angry mama cat since they were after my cats. Ran them off my neighbor's too, then I scared them so bad they actually flew away. Had a squirrel try to attack me from the tree in our front yard, too. Same thing. Trusty old red rider and a lot of sounding angrier than him and he realized He better don't. :D what's up with these animals?
Such calm and masterful artistry. I'm always impressed Ron.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thanks Ron..!! The nobility of the material can only be found when you love what it does. Greetings from Mexico..!!
Wow - you have a wonderful way with words!
@@RonCovell Thank you..!!
Yet another excellent layout and technique video.
Thank you for these and for focusing them to the capabilities of those of us without high end equipment.
Glad you like them!
Big thanks for the help!! You deserve the most choice blessings for you willingness and gentle instruction. You come off very encouraging and supportive.
I appreciate that!
Thank you Mr. Covell. It's amazing and so fun to see a flat piece of metal change into whatever you want it to be. Thank you for sharing your life's work
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know why I watch that video I don't ever plan on doing anything like that but it was a very nice watching You make that. Should be outside working but I came inside for lunch and got trapped into watching a 20-minute video by you . Thank you so much sir .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sir, you are a true craftsman. Thanks much for gracefully sharing your craft. I enjoy watching your method of problem solving.
Thank you very much!
Hi Ron. I enjoy the math behind projects like these, but the fact that you are showing techniques that don't involve a bunch of calculations, has opened my eyes (and my mind) to a whole new world. Thank you for these simple and elegant solutions to real-world problems. I'm absolutely loving this Rollation series and look forward to seeing your next video.👍 Enjoy the rest of your weekend, sir.
My mind doesn't process numbers very well, so I will often find a more intuitive approach.
Than you so much for making these videos... you are like the "world's shop teacher." Making sense of what math teachers cant... I remember asking my teachers how I use this or that in math classes in the real world... it just helps to see it all come together... keep up the great work. Again thank you for taking the time to make these videos
Glad you like my videos - more on the way!
I used to fold metal and make transitions for heating and air ductwork but what you just taught me was amazing.
Glad you liked it!
Every time before clicking one of your videos there is a little voice in my head that says, "there is no way he could have done that by hand". You make it look so easy man!!
Wow, thanks!
I'm 15. I own 5 Muscle car's I'm rebuilding. My friends are playing video games of car racing. I'm learning from this wonderful man , how to build the real thing LOL. I own a Miller welder too. Awesome video! Thank you. Mr Covell.
Hats off to you for getting off to a great start so early in life!
Ron you are THE MAN. Incredible work. The way you show your skills makes it easy to follow. 🙏🏻☮️❤️😊
Thanks so much!
Great reminder! Thank you. Very early in my engineering career I design and built both cement mixers and garbage trucks. We did it usually CAD. YOU CAN IMAGINE that the drum of a cement mixer is just a dome connected to numerous cones. I took a sizable number of designs by hand drawings and put them in CAD and then fine tuned the numbers using true calculations and added in Bend Allowance calculation depending the type of bends or rolling process. I would bet the first cement mixers were developed the same way you layed out. Good memories of creating systems and a quality product. Unfortunately it did not pay very much. Keep up the great work.
Sounds like you got to work on some great projects!
@@RonCovell I had a ton of them in the past, now I live through your videos. Keep up the great work!
As an old dog now approaching my 80's - and born during THE war - it is amazing how many new tricks I am now learning.
I have done many of these by intuition out in "the wild" so to speak - but this is doing it to perfection in a nice clean workshop - and with ALL of the tools I never had and many of the so called "assists" that can be bought "off the shelf" I just had to think about - and make for myself.
i suppose that "my old days"{yeah yeah} education and thinking outside the box was the way we all progressed I suppose - but thank you for an excellent demonstration - I am more then impressed!
I truly support 'lifelong learners' like you, and often thinking 'out of the box' pays big dividends!
So happy to finally see this. Had to put this one on “Watch later” for today, and it was worth the wait! Thanks again. I’m hooked.
Glad you enjoyed it! As you'll see, I have lots of other videos on various subjects.
it's so enhanceful to my technical knowhow,you're fantastic,Lo...
Your genius is the simplicity. Again, it’s awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
I work in a completely different area of business but love watching the skills and art of others. I high five your sharing skill and metal dexterity.
I appreciate that!
Ah the Fabricators Home Companion...
Sweet job Ron, thanks.
You've taken my rotation Knowledge from a 3 to a 8.
That is awesome!
Always enjoy! Very straightforward and informational narrative which makes it easy to watch while learning. Thank you for sharing your abundance of talent.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I find your videos fascinating to watch. It’s easy to see your years of experience make it look easy. The rolation technique is such a great way to get the shape.
Thank you very much!
I learn so much, feel so inspired and never cease to be amazed by your ingenuity and skill Ron. A joy as always. Thank you 🧡
Thank you Deena! It pleases me very much that you keep checking in with my videos!
@@RonCovell ❤
I am constantly amazed at how little I know, how much I have to learn and how short a time I have left to learn it ! Thank you for passing your knowledge on.
You're very welcome!
Love to watch your videos! Amazing results with so ”little” work, you make it look so easy!👍🏻😊
You make it look so easy!
Love your little scribe, again it's so simple most would over engineer something that produced the same result.
The rolation process is so simple, the scope of what could be done is endless, like lobster back bends incorporating reducer, rather than the bend then a reducer/ transition.
I've been watching your videos for a while and have learnt so much, the earlier ones were using an English wheel, I had no idea what they did till then.
I have done transitions from round to square using a pan brake.
Thanks for sharing your skills.
Regards from Oz, Dennis.
Glad you enjoyed the videos!
