You see TV build guys on a 42 minute show doing a custom car, and they spend 2 minutes of the show on actual fabrication, and 40 minutes on fabricated drama. This was 42 minutes of pure genius. Thank you for sharing your talent and thought process!
We are currenlty mostly drama driven......i can only imagine my Dad with all the information on CZcams at his disposal. In this modern age there are few that really want to be craftsman (which takes dedication, perseverance and patience) and more that want to be be mindlessly entertained.
Robert B. You are so right. I don't know why those shows think we want to see anything but the "how to" of the project. There's enough drama in life already.
Indeed this guy has serious talent and watching him explain and actually become part of it is not something you see often...
I agree
Best metal working I've ever seen. Masterfully presented. Thank you for real time useful technical information. Simply awesome show and tell.
No macho egotistical attitude and no heavy metal music playing in the background. It's nice to see a real craftsman at work.

It's great to see a young guy keeping the early coachbuilding skills alive. I watched a show where a older guy was building a Ferrari type of vehicle on a wooden jig. The guy was using an older Ferrari as a pattern and didn't have the skill set that this young man has. His cars are works of art and I would love to drive one... Keep up the videos

That’s what make a real craftsman... his choice of music...
I know, right? Everything else is not real. Everything else is a simulation. Even attitude is simulated. Take you, for example, your are just a fart in the brain of one of the programmers. (not a real fart though, a metaphorical, simulated fart).
The measuring and meticulous working of the metal is everything. I was a sheet metal mechanic for twin engine civilian prototype aircraft fuselage and wing panels back in the sixties. The fuselage and wing panels had to fit perfectly down to 3 millimeter’s. I was there when it made its maiden flight. It was a thrill to see it take off with the designer and the test pilot knowing that their lives were at stake. The plane was called an Aerostar.
Ex soviet jet aircraft manufacturers were skilled at fabricating to hundredths of a millimeter. At the high speeds intended the airframes had to be virtually perfect.
Kirkham bought an exSoviet aircraft manufacturer and put the skilled staff back to work building replica Cobras in aluminium and some cars in copper.
You don't look old enough to have acumulated all these great skills. Its obvious you have a natural born aptitude for this high quality workmanship. You are also a very good instructor, carefully explaining all the whats and whys. I much appreciate your videos.
Ok, I've just stumbled across this video, and it's hands down the most watchable metal fabrication video I've ever seen. Instructive, relaxing, interesting - this is genuinely on a par with a good TV show.
Probably one of the most relaxing car builds I've seen,that soothing jazz.
Dude!!!...You're a Great teacher...thank you for sharing your knowledge
I couldn’t look away unbelievable craftsmanship keep them coming
Chris, you're doing great work, I really appreciate seeing the metal shrinking in action.
Thanks for sharing!
I've watched your cars come together on social media and always been inspired but this video is so amazing I can't thank you enough.
Chris, you have NO idea, how much I appreciate you taking your time out to teach us. Love your organica nd sensual work. And the jazz!!
I was drawn to the picture of your car's curves and sleek lines. Decided to watch video. Had no idea what to expect. I just wanted to commend you with a big pat on the back. Your explanation of attention to details needed to accomplish this feat are absolutely tremendous. It was utter joy listening to your tutorial. You are totally on track as you hone in on the task. Making a video and teaching all the while. God Bless You and best wishes for a long life doing what you LOVE. And you are just a young fella. PHENOMENAL !
Your attention to detail is inspiring!
I've wanted to see how this art works for decades. Thank you for revealing it like this, and thanks for including the bumps along the way.
thank you for making these videos. Really appreciate you going to the trouble of explaining your thought processes. Many craftsmen like you show how they work and never say a word. What is going on in your head and why you choose a certain path really helps. Pleas e keep making them!
You know that the man is a master craftsman when he simplifies his teachings and makes it look simple! Eager to see more!
Much improved since this freshman work. Here you learned the kinks before grace. Even so this effort matters. Not the most beautiful thing. Yet the Minnesota heart begins on the anvil
A pleasure to watch a master workman! Thank You sir, great work!
I love that these skills are coming back into prominence... Amazing work and thank you for the knowledge.
Videos like this from a true master craftsmen are repositories for knowledge in a sea of planned obsolescence. This sort of knowledge is becoming rare, and as we become more and more dumbed down this video will become priceless. Someday, not so far in the future, we are going to need to relearn how to make things and this video like those other master craftsmen who shared their expertise will be the seed from which a new society is built. Thank you.
FANTASTIC JOB YOU ARE DOING FRIEND
I hope your channel get a lot more subscribers and views, the knowledge that you are sharing is getting rarer by the minute.
You’re a wizard! Thanks for teaching us your incredible craft.
One of the best vids on CZcams.
Amazing work! Glad to finally find an in-depth video focused on pure craftsmanship!
Great video,thank you. The grade of metal used and heat treating makes so much difference. Aluminium is so lovely to work with. I repair old aircraft and enjoy it so much.
Great job and impeccable explanation on a high quality video. This is so underrated! This video should be in the hundreds of thousands of views.
Now it is :)

Awesome---great attitude. You look to be enjoying this work as much as I watching---Thanks
Thank you for the video, I'll never use this type of art, but I watched your genius all the way through.
Great vid, appreciated your workmanship and your explanation of the different methods used. all the best!
This might be my favorite video on youtube. Learned more about working metal in 40 minutes than i could imagine.
You have no idea how much I appreciate you sharing your processes. You're helping me pursue my own dream in doing so.
Thanks for such a great video! Very inspirational! Really enjoyed your commentary, thoughts and instructions throughout the video, you have a talent for conveying your knowledge. Hope you have time keep more coming 😀 Cheers from Tasmania.👍
Wow what an amazing job. I could watch your videos all day. Thank you for showing these.
I accidentally happened onto your channel and I'm glad I did. I'm a retired precision machinist. I did alot of prototype work for mechanical engineering for most of my career. But this metal shaping (shrinking and stretching) is obviously an art! The patience and foresight involved is incredible! Thanks for sharing.
some of the most impressive car craftsmanship ive ever seen
So brilliant!!!!! Thank god these skills are still alive!!!!
No words.
100% fine work.
I am just amazed at what you can do to make the metal take the shape you have in your mind. You sir, are truly an old school craftsman.
Nothing else but my compliments for your work.
having been a sheet metal worker and fabricator for many years , this took me back to my youth when i worked with a guy who made bodies with compound curves ,he didnt have a shrinker in the 60,s a wheel and gas,to get the curve he would pie slice the sheet and gas weld them ,then hammer weld the joins, i could never do do this , he made it look easy , but im impressed by chris as he is a young man
came across this video and my jaw was on my computer table. Thank you for taking time to show the technique and explaining how it is done. Beautiful work. I am going to binge watch your other videos
Wow man you are totally inspiring. That thing looks beautiful, thanks for walking through some of the steps to make that fender. I’m trying to learn metal shaping, not for scratch building cars but for restoration, and your work blows past what I thought was even possible. Keep it up. If that Nigerian prince ever gives me those millions of dollars he promised, I’ll be giving you a call ;)
As a side note I’m really jealous of your English wheel. That thing is huge!
Chris, this is just wonderful, really enjoyed every minute of your video. Thank you
What a master! Awesome work. Love the jazz in the background
The jazz in the background is perfect. Well done sir.
I think my Jay Leno garage binge sent me here. This is amazing, I watched every second of this video and I now appreciate fabrication much more. Thank you sir.
You are a true artist.
I had never watched metal formed as you have done. When first observed, I expected you would need to make pleats like cloth.
Nothing like a craft that will never die and someone that is trained in applying that trade. Fantastic!!
I"m in absolute awe. You are a true master-craftsman. Way beyond "nice job". Thank you.
You Sir, are one skilled individual!
You live whilst you learn and for the last 40 or so minutes I live taking in deep breaths of knowledge. Nice work, good explanation and now I am inspired to try it myself. Well done and thanks for taking the time to make this video and share it.
Thanks for your detailed explanation! It's really cool to hear the thought process behind various decisions.
ok...I thought I knew metal...but is like a whole new world. What a great professional view, thanks for the video.
I was so astonished when I first learned that the way these shapes were once achieved was by hammering sheet over what looked like a wooden ribcage made rom 2”x4”s. And here all this time I believed that there was an employment of quite different methods. Today we have so much technology and computer design softwares to aid in these efforts, that it would seem logical that these old and original methods for doing bodywork had basically been disposed of so that the present day technologies could be embraced and better learned. Not every mechanic builder necessarily likes to mull over a computer and literally plot one point at a time on CAD software either, I know I wouldn’t. So why not embrace the older ways of doing it?! Thanks for sharing, and beautiful work there!! Great music and clean shop, too!!
Very cool! My grandfather used to work on old Noorduyn Norseman planes and did a lot of body work but I was so young and never really saw how he did it.
As I grew older he was doing more fiberglass which is totally different.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks from Australia. As a landscaper I like your knowledge of when to use a machine or a hand tool. I can't teach my boys that. And they tend to attack the ground with poor results. You have that zen thing happening. We call it common sense and know how. Thanks for sharing. .
Nothing short of amazing. Old world craftsmanship!!
Wow this is a great video. I always wondered how metal was shrunk and curved. To me what you are able to do is simply incredible. This borders on magic. Thanks so much for sharing your skill with us!!
I saw you on Leno's Garage and WOW, your work is amazing! Still can't wrap my brain around how your "shrinking" hammer does it's job without expanding and stretching the sheet metal, simply incredible! You're a sculptor man.
Dude, you had me captivated for 42 minutes. Honestly one of the most informative and helpful videos I've ever seen. Not too many distractions, calming sax in the back. I really liked this video. A little bit of a change in pace compared to most other channels. And I really like the lighting in the shop.
Seriously epic! The love you have for this craft is awesome.. hats off to you!
absolutely beautiful work
Almost mesmeric to watch a true craftsman at work; this is art!
Well that was amazing. I always wondered how an English wheel and shrinking worked. Thanks for a great no fuss video.
Very skilled commentary Chris, so easy to follow exactly what you mean.
I'm in awe of your artistry and craftsmanship but also of video production and the way you calmly verbalize as you work. If only all tutorials were like yours.
It is a real privilege to see craftsmanship like this. Many many thanks forthis fascinating, entertaining and informative view of your artistry.
You are an ARTIST to the fullest extent . Thank you
You are definitely an artist, love your work. I’ve seen a couple of your cars on Bring a Trailer, they are very appreciated.
New subscriber,where has this been all my life? Will be binge watching to get caught up on this project!
Beautiful metalworking and craftsmanship,thanks for sharing your knowledge much appreciated.
Hi Chris. Very nice video. I've not seen anyone else show a project like this fender from start to finish. There are so many informative small details as result of your taking the time to do such extensive coverage of this project. Thanks so much. Great work, Chris Conley
Fascinating! Metal forming as shown here is a rare trade skill. It takes years to obtain the expertise shown here. Outstanding work!
Very good. Your patience is great!
Great work. I was really captivated by the work you were doing. Great shop music too. Lots of excellent advice and narrative on what you are doing and your thought process behind your actions. I’m a fabricator by trade and you have managed to take some of my favorite parts of the trade and make a business of them. Excellent artistry. Thanks for sharing.
True craftsmanship. You have a talent most of us would love to have. really well done. Thanks for the video's
Yes I agree this is fascinating and even entertaining stuff. Very honest release of some hard won skills here. A nicely made video & sound as well. Thank you very much Mr Runge.
Great skill and artistry - very few people are doing this in the UK. Great video and fantastic explanation of the principles involded - thanks!
Nice video and explanation. I totally respect the skills, talent, and excellence these craftsman show!? THANK YOU!?
Beautiful work, I love the hands on style and feeling the pull in the metal. I also enjoyed your down to earth explanation of how and why you make each change to the metal. Makes me want to have a go.
Excellent job , with your explanation you have answered many questions I have always wondered about metal shaping.
Thank you for making these videos you teach very well just from this video I’m changing the way I do same things please keep posting really really useful
just found you. EXCELLENT explanation.
i've seen lots of metalshaping videos on yt and still looks like black magic to me. You guys are magicians
I have always believed that a clean tool is a happy tool. Thank you.
Thank you for this down to earth instructional video, makes me want to continue with my over my head project with some optimism!!!
Thanks for sharing, Chris
Beyond bodywork. This is pure art.
I don’t have any experience in metal fabrication as complex as you are doing here so I marvel at your skill but also your ability to explain it to me. I get it immediately.
Absolutely one of them best demonstrations and talk throughs on what is going on with the metal i have watched, for a guy that is self taught you definetly have a good understanding of the alluminium, to the people that gave you a thumbs down obviously have no idea about the skill level you have shown, thanks for sharing some of your skills and also in the way that you have made this video. cheers from down under.
Truly one of the best videos . Many thanks for the effort and for sharing your craft.
Fantastic tutorial. It is so relaxing to watch an artist at work and listen to words like mistakes happen this is how you learn. Chris has a straight forward positive , even toned presentation with logical explanations for his choices of tool and material. And did I mention along with the light metal some light metal music in the backdrop. love the classical jazz. I could not not subscribe. Thanks so much.
Superb. Just superb. The complete craftsman. Thanks for this excellent demonstration.
As a young amateur, I am forever grateful seeing videos like this. Artists like yours should be held up against others in whatever industry they're in. You didn't have to educate the whole people here - yet you took the time and effort on probably posting one of the most explanatory and step by step approach in whole youtube about metal shaping. Thank you, very much.
Amazing!kudos to you youngman,for doing something Very amazing with you life and yet retain a humble spirit 👍👍👍
I am restoring a 66 El Camino that's pretty much a rust bucket and I am having to make a lot of panels myself. I have a small English Wheel very little metal working tools but I am making it work. Your work is awesome and inspiring just watching your videos has given me a new edge thanks so much for sharing. Lee
You sir are an inspiration! Fascinating!
really interesting … gratifying results … thanks for sharing, chris!
A true technical artist, combining the best of skill and vision. Awesome craftsmanship.
This is a great tutorial, the product looks splendid, and is a consistent path for people who this doesn't come naturally. I'm envious of some of the tools I see.
