Just thin out some JB Weld a bit with acetone and fill the tube. No need to weld. (And I'm always looking for reasons to spark my tig) And how do you align the handle with the tool tip? Having it off leads to mistakes. No reason to go through all that work to have the handle 35 degrees off from the tip.
Marty, do you recommend welding on the gear? I made 3 of these handles, but I used springsteel and made my own tools. I put a thread on the springsteel wich was a lot of work, and used green loctite to secure it. After 5 years it's still holding very well. I think it was from a photo from you on door ding.
Hi Bjorn. Ya threading high carbon steel is a nightmare! Threading or welding SS is much easier. I wouldn't recommend welding to the gear as the heat will soften the gears hardness. If what your doing is working for you then keep doing it!
Thanks Marty great video . I plan on doing that soon. So how do you make the whaletail ends sharp to do a deep ding under a brace ?shrink up some metal . Thanks for sharing your expansive knowledge with us.
Ok Marty how about making a removable handle that will fit most of your tools. Cut handle off tool then weld a bolt or something that will receive the McMaster that has a socket type on it? For the traveling tech. One handle for most of your tools
Thanks again Marty. Another great handle on homemade tools is a half inch socket wrench with a cushion handle, works great.
Whatever takes the strain off your wrists!
I love your videos
Thank you for continually making them
Your welcome William.
I know a lot of friends that are as talented as you there jw's I want to stay tone you have correct teaching.
Parabéns professor pelo ensinamento
I'll have to call you sometime to see how much training costs I find PDR really interesting. I didn't even know people did this the way you do it
Ya my method of doing PDR is a blend of traditional PDR and old school metal shaping. It is different LOL
Great video - Thanks.
Thanks Carl
Looking forward to it. Thanks

Funny you mention that, thats the next video LOL
Buy a blehm whale tale, there great! Or dent crafts
Exelent
I enjoy watching your craft.
Thank you sir.
I ordered some 7/8- 049” wall. Will that be too flimsy?
I have some one inch also.
Should be ok
Went together fine!! Thank you!

Yup just weld the bolt to any tools you like and screw each into the same handle. I know quite a few techs that do that.
Where is the link to the video for making the Whale Tail rod itself ?
You have to buy the whale tail first and then shape it.
Vídeo veri long.
