I do exactly what you do every day for a living. Yet I still find you inspirational.
I think it is because I am 100% self taught
So it is good to see some one else doing what I do so I know I am not doing it wrong 😁
Hahaha right on well I’m glad you do it the same way so I’m not wrong too 😂
Self taught. I don’t do this for a living but my skills seem fairly good to me. But watching other people do this with skill far exceeding mine isn’t inspirational to me- it makes me think how much better I could be if I’d had instruction like this when I was young! Basic stuff that took me years to get somewhat competent would have been so much better if I’d spent those years refining my skills instead of figuring it out! I only amaze the unskilled…
@@MakeItKustom Any professional Tradie knows the way they were taught gets it done, they also know there are other ways, But the Real Boss is the one that can make mistakes and knows how to get it back.
That is the difference in a world of armchair critics that never created anything in their lives, But watching cool talented Tradies with high standards always shines through it all.
Awesome Video and delivery, Content and Talent, and no time wasted apologizing to critics, Steel for me is such a fascinating subject having come through from Carpentry and timber that once cut wrong is always wrong where Steel in a masters hands like yours is such an artistic medium that is restricted only by your imagination and to watch groups that work together feeding each other is just pure pleasure because No one is actually wrong and the different ways to get to anyone point just is amazing to watch.
I would love to see where damage is in a flat section of the sheet and you can take it out after it's been stretched and it can be done where access is difficult to the other side of the work surface or will you always need to dolly or support the other work surface in light gauge?
CONGRATULATIONS on the new shop. As always great video keep up the good work.
Still want big machines but that is super cool ! Thank you
Known about tucking to shrink for a long time and seen other demonstrations, but yours is the first one that made clear how to capture the tuck. The light finally came on for me. Can't wait to try it again. Thanks for your clear and patient videos.
So h go lad to hear this man!! It’s awesome to know that it made sense!
A nice little tool to have in the shop. Thanks Karl.
As always Karl you are the best teacher & thanks so much for sharing your skill not only on metal shaping but making inexpensive tools to make it happen. You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge & passion for your chosen career. Thanks. Billy J...... Queensland, Australia.
Thanks a lot Billy! Cheers 👊
Glad to see ya in the new place, thanks for showing that technique!
just starting with metal shaping and I am very thankful for your videos to get me started in the right direction
I’m not only blown away with Karl’s skill but also the amount of people with interest in hands on metal working.👍
100 dollars for a bumper on my old Ford. 3,000 for the plastic to cover the bumper on a 2014 Nissan. I am half a mind to get a Ron Covel book and start making the cover out of sheet metal.
It's like ASMR for car guys. lol
Very nice shop you have! You and your wife make the best videos showing " how to" to everyone, keep it going.
Great teaching video Karl you have so much talent the sky is the limit !! keep going you are doing great. Great video take care Thanks 😊
Watching this, it's why you do what you do, and why I don't do what you do. I have a hard time even picturing how you figure it out. But I love watching it.
Great DIY tool idea video, love these kind of videos. Thanks Karl
Very cool idea. It reminds me of a pipe crimper for round duct as far as principal. Glad you are settled in to your new shop.
As i was watching i was thinking about the malco crimper i have but i dont think it would work on 18 gauge
When I needed one, for the first time in 40 years, I taped two parallel wires to the lower jaw of vice grips and one centered on the upper jaw, worked perfect for a one- off need, and now I can die because I won't need to again.☺
@@phantom629 I always had 2 sets of Malco crimps my newer set for regular duct work and a beater set for heavier gauge. They will crimp 18 but it just takes longer between hand cramps.🙂
Excellent video. I love seeing what can be accomplished with basic tools. I always hear people say "I could do nice work too if I had a shop full of fancy tools", but the reality is that the pro metalshapers all had to start with the basics, because without an understanding of how metal works all those tools are useless. Thanks for proving that us regular backyard builders can create complex parts too and bonus points for taking the hard road and using 18g steel for the demonstration!
Cool video man thanks for showing us hand tool techniques… not everyone needs or can afford the machines so great to see the old school ways 👍👍
You're a true metal working artist. 👍
I seriously hope CZcams is paying you good money, as you have so so so much amazing content.
You give me confidence in what I’m creating.
Thank you for that!!🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
Thank you for making this so attainable for the average knuckle head.
It's great that you work with steel. It seems most metal working videos work with aluminum and my 53 Chevy pickup is steel. Thank you for your time.
Today we got again a perfect lesson! Thank You! :-)
Your welcome!
Tucking fork admittedly sounds a little like something a dyslexic would say at the drag races. Great video, Karl!
Hell yeah, that new electric Mustang has some tucking fork man!!😂😂
I was thinking exactly the same thing.....
As always,fine craftsmanship.
In Australia we have this thing called Bush Turning, you would put that round bar in a drill or drill press and spin it while using a grinder/sander to taper it. Much easier
🤣 i was thinking the same thing. As long as it fits in the chuck of your cordless, i use this method quit often.
Btw, i love those Aussie slang words…
I think Karl's point is to show that anyone can do it without all the tools. I would just chuck it in the lathe, but I admire how he makes a point to show that anyone can do it.
@@jonnyrox116 that’s true. I do have a lathe also, but as you said, Karl is showing the way, to build stuff without expensive equipment, which many guys in garage shops don‘t have.
I kind of decide what tools i use, depending of the level of the workpiece i build.
Instead of setting up the milling machine for a slot in a basic piece of flat stock, that becomes a temporarly spacer, i just use the drill press and an angle grinder, to safe on time…😂
Great channel though, and he is a really nice guy sharing his great knowledge
Hahah bush turning! Yea I prob could have assumed most people have a drill
Always more than one way to skin a cat, I have a forge so I would just taper with a hammer, forging a taper would be the fastest way If you have the skills & equipment
Thank you for not blasting us with the DA and grinder noises… makes for a great video.. keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make a simple tool, awesome
Congratulations on your new place!
The build short is one of our fav edits too! The last short of the series that's about to drop is a must watch though!! Check out METAL REBORN and the inside the mind of KARL on our page and stayed tuned for more 🔥🔥 content!!
Hell ya boys! Can’t wait!!!
Thank you Karl..watching you is truely inspirational.👌🏼
Another great idea I really like you are showing it's fun to watch. Thanks
Excellent content guys. Thankyou.
I like stump shrinking but I’ll definitely take some time and make a tucking fork. Thanks so much.
Watching this in hospital after back surgery. Thank you for muting the die grinder, so annoying to pulse width modulate my sound every time I see a tool about to be used. So many people don't edit their video properly. Thanks mate love every single one 👍
Hey Karl, loving your "BFH"
Solves 97% of problems... 🤣
Cheers Aaron 🍻
my dad always called it a "multi-angle swing press" :)
😂😂😂
Good to see you settled in Sir!
Congratulation on the new shop. I’m I bit older, but relatively new to metal shaping. I enjoy your videos and your projects are very cool.
I love your show. So informative. Keep them coming.
Congrats on the new shop. Can’t wait to see what you do in it.
I always look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work.
Another useful tool that’s cheap to build, good one. 😎👍🇨🇦
Great Karl, I will knock one of them up tomorrow , Greetings from Bonnie Scotland
Loving the basic style tutorials lately
I've been using a bowled stump to create tucks but I think I'll make one of these as it seems easier. Thanks for taking the time to pit this video together 💪👍
I love that so many of Karl’s videos show how to do it with simple homemade tools that anyone can make instead of expensive machines the average guy doesn’t have.
Thanks Ken! I realize now that I could have started much sooner because I too used to think it wasn’t possible without unattainable knowledge and expensive tools
I guess I'll have to up my game from a rock and a stump! lol 😁
I like watching these videos. I am at an age where learning to do metal shaping is not gonna happen. Watching videos that show the work and time that gets invested in doing such things teaches me to respect those who do this work.
Doing it with such passion and passing this passion on to others is something very few can do.
Thank you for what you do.
You’re so welcome man I’m glad you are enjoying the content!
That's a neat little tool, and great tips on how to make one. Thanks!!
Once again Karl, an awesome video on a tool and technique that is clearly and concisely explained and demonstrated.
I just started following your channel and find your skills and talent amazing. I especially like the fact you are Canadian, we need more of your ideas and especially on budgeting. Your message goes across much more than just the business you are in, I am a certified organic farmer and apply your practices in the upkeep of machinery involved in the everyday operation of our farm. Keep up the good work, I am spreading your message!
That’s so awesome to hear! And thank you for spreading the word across other industries! Cheers
You’re absolutely right about most people working with aluminum when they are showing their work. I appreciate the fact that you did that in 16 gauge steel.
Thanx for putting in the effort, another great video.
So technically if the steel is 18 gauge, shrinking it pushes the area you want to move smaller, the metal gets thicker, say 17.5 gauge or thicker depending on how much you move it.
I have watched a motorcycle builder, Eric Gorges, shrink metal this way, teaching a blacksmith who admitted she had always used heat. One thing he said about working with metal, is to move or place your equipment higher or lower to fit the worker. If it is not comfortable you may hurry up and not produce a good job. Your vise, wood stump, sandbag, air hammer, etc. He made a point of having a hook spot in each location to hang ear protection, gloves at each work station. You don’t waist time looking for them nor make noise without having them because you’re in a hurry! Makes sense to me. Thanks for sharing this simple tool. It is useful and priced right! I enjoyed.
Great explanation. I especially like the comparison between aluminum and steel.
That could make a cool bottle cap for a wall hanger. Little paint ,pinstripes . Giant japhands brew ha-ha.bottlecap sign! Excellent video as usual.
Hey Karl, You make things look easy. Your also, going to make one hell of a teacher. You make it interesting, and explain everything where a young teenager can understand. Thank you from an old man. If I were 35 years younger, I would sign up for your class. Thanks again and I love your videos.
Your so welcome man 👊 thanks for watching!
True, Karl goes against the old saying “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach.”
Excellent teacher of great projects.
You just made a great tool, keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family.
I'm older, and have been fabricating, and tinkering with my old junk cars for 40 years, but I'm really learning a helluva lot from your videos. I really appreciate that. Never too old to learn.
Same hear. Its cool how he is showing how. The new bees how to. But new this 30 years ago. Inter net makes it like it a new thing
thanks Karl...guess I know what I'll be making today down here at the Flat Beaver Garage in Flathead Montana....thanks again
I’ve seen this technique once before. The other video I saw the guy used needle nose vise grips and clamped on both sides of the tuck to keep it from sliding out. You have great videos. Very professional and thought out.
Yes you can hold the edges to help the shrink more ! We should go into that on the next one
I definitely need this tool this tool. Thanks.
I like to read the comments as well as watch the video, responses are also enlightening, I'm just watching and learning, and so many comments pursue avenues I don't even know exist, until I follow them. It's a pleasure to watch a craftsman pursue a steady line from beginning, flat, to a compound complex curve that matches what was established first. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Karl and Christina, awesome videos. I've been working on cars, trucks and heavy equipment since I was a kid. You are very talented. I enjoy learning from your videos. You're never too old to learn a little trick of the trade that will save you money and time. At my age time is important. I like the new shop. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks for the education.
Thanks David! Cheers !
Thank you very much for showing us that!! Watching you put those kinks into the end of that disc, I was immediately reminded of the "Crimper" that is used on the ends of sheet metal ducts to shrink them so they will engage into the end of the next section.
Made my first successful little "patch panel" this weekend using some of the knowledge and confidence I gained through watching your videos. A little patch with a couple of little "bead" dimples on the inner side of a 57 Chevy rocker panel. Mostly welded in and not all ground yet. It will be in my next video. Thank you very much!!! 👍👍⚙️🛠🗜🔩
Awesome man stoked to hear it!! It’s crazy how much shape one can get with a few tucks
I’ve been studying the stuff for years and I always wondered how to make that tool and use it very helpful thank you.
great demo you make it look easy
Congratulations on the new facilities. Much luck on growing your business and your brand of custom.
I prefer demos with actual material being used for repair. It sets the realistic tone. Aluminum is very deceiving and if you're not expecting it you will end up discouraged. Good stuff 👍
Aluminum is very nice to work with one thing about aluminum if you have to pay attention to what type you get I believe it’s T6 which is not very malleable. There’s more to it than that but I’m not that smart I don’t have time to Google it right now. Great video man keep up the good content.
Your the man bro so humble and also so willing to share your knowledge
I do not do this for a living its a hobby for but i see a need for this so ill be making one very soon i want to thank you for videos very helpful fo guys and women like me who like to do their own work shop looks great hoping to build one maybe by this summer keep up the great videos we people need them thanks again
Amazing never knew how to do what you do. Thanks for explaining and showing how to make a dome and for shrinking metal.
Good practical information. Thanks!
Keep up the great content. You are a natural teacher.
Karl, thank you for being an insperation to the 'everyman, backyard builder' as well as the seasoned guys. I especially liked the videos on both the door panels and the circle blank punch as well as all your other tutorials. Congrats on your new place and I'll be following you in the future. Thanks
Thanks very much Paul 👊 so glad you are into the videos!
Another great video. Hope to see more homemade and modified tools.
Thanks Karl. I actually don't have one if those but gonna make one now! 👍
Definitely going to make one of those. Thanks!
I'm so happy I found this channel its nice to learn another skill everytime i watching one of your videos , keep up the great work
Thanks for the video, looks like alot of hammering 🔨. Building up the arms.
These are some of the best most accessible videos I've seen. you and Trev's blog make me feel dangerous enough to get work done.
Haha thanks man !
I know that time is money, so I am very grateful to you for demonstrating this for us. Kudos
Another awesome video thanks Karl -
Thank you for sharing, Karl! The tool is cool, but the new shop is incredible! Congratulations to you guys, for sure! I, personally, believe that the actual number of hobbyist applying what you are teaching us far exceeds your estimations! 'Looking forward to the next lesson! Enjoy your week! Be safe!
Thanks a lot Harry! I hope so 👊
This is great at Learnt so much thank you
It's such a pleasure to watch your videos ! Your videos let people with not very much metal knowledge understand that you can do a lot with just simple tools and your hands . It seems to me people want a machine to do everything for them anymore, you show that you don't have to own a lot to be able to do a lot .I needed some simple machine shop work done , a shaft turned down and a key way cut into it. The shop was like I have to have a cad drawing to do that. The true craftsmen are a dyeing bread . It 's great to still see people like you .Keep making the videos they are very enjoying.
Thanks tony ! A jetway is the first thing I ever did on a milling machine!
I made one, and it does work!
Cant recall what channel. Just want to see how you done it.
I want to see DD Dan get into some serious metal shaping.
Thanks for showing how to do this I needed a rounded piece like that recently ended up cutting some corners out of an old roof I had ill try this technique next time
Another awesome video thanks karl
Thanks for going into detail and showing how home gamers can do this stuff. Used to work at a race shop and had any tool at my disposal but no longer at that shop. Trying to accumulate tools on my own. You had me stoked to buy my first horizontal band saw off market place for 100 bucks! It’s on the smaller side but does what I need it to.
Awesome man one tool at a time. You will get there. It’s actually crazy how cheap all my tools were because I waited to not just a deal
But a crazy deal and was ready to jump on it or drive right away
Yeah. Watching and learning. Thanks for being a good teacher.
Outstanding period of instruction. Really enjoy your content and your professionalism. Easy to see how much you enjoy the work you do.
Your skills never cease to amaze me🇨🇦
Very nice video Karl and the tucking fork is a cheap tool to build and use.Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
nice to see you with new Gloves :) looks like the start of a custom hub cap
I really like your videos and your Master teachings. hug here from Brazil
Thanks man 👊
Hi. I'm an older plumber and find your channel fascinating
Please keep up your sessions.
I'm close to retirement and will probably make some efforts to get into metal as a hobby.
Well enough said.
Thanks again for sharing your trade in a way visual people can understand 👍
Another great informative video Karl thank's dude 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you Karl.👍🥰
Karl is the man. 👍 great video!
My tradeschool teacher used a crimper tool for eavestrough downspouts. They're $50 on amazon and work ok on 20ga or thinner. Works great for doing wheelwell repairs on rusty quarter panels
Karl, I have to give you a
10 + out of 10. Your Series.really explain exactly HOW metal shaping is created. All your different lessons are a positive to anyone who choses the challenge of fabricating their own parts. The main ingredient is a passion and a vision to create your own build project - car- truck - whatever you dream of building. Karl, you motivate people to "create"! I enjoy watching your videos. Congrats on the new shop, lots of room to build!!! You can never have enough space. I teach Collision and Refinishing Classes in So Cal. I suggest to my students to review and study your videos to help them to more understand how sheet metal works. Much Respect for You.
Mr.P
Well thank you very much man I really appreciate your feedback and I am honoured that you pass this on to your students! Maybe if I am in SoCal in the future we can link up
Thanks a bunch Karl! Excellent technique for metal fab and hats off to you two for showing us how to make our own tools and save us money.
