    Just found your channel and I am blown away! I've been a mechanic/restorer for over 45 years and have never had anyone teach metal working in such a friendly, easy to understand manner. It's like hanging with your best friend and learning at the same time. I'm 64 years old and am currently working on a truck resto that needs a great deal of metal repair. Your channel is exactly what I need to help me as I am more of a mechanic than fabricator. I have a great deal of respect for you and the knowledge you have. Your personality and presentation skills are over the top! Thank you for sharing your love of metal-working. It's making a difference to your viewers. I have already shared your channel with several friends and we now are all subscribers, calling one another to discuss your videos. Keep up the good work!

    Being both an automotive and industrial mechanic but never doing any body work I find you and fitzee to be a wealth of knowledge. And you both have a way of conveying that knowledge in a way that makes it enjoyable and entertaining. If the student hasn't learned...the teacher hasn't taught. This channel is like an autobody encyclopedia except its exciting. I'll definitely be using a lot of your tips and lessons in my own shop as I work on my old 54 pick up. Stay safe. All the best in 2022 and in your future.

    @garagegnomes Před 2 lety +16

    Great explanation and demonstration man. An expensive wheel is definitely not a necessity, I've done some pretty nice stuff with a $100 piece of junk. I think the issue for most(as it was for me) is overthinking the process. I always tell people that you can only do 4 things to the metal.....cut,bend , shrink and stretch! It makes things easier to digest. Keep up these amazing videos!

    I think these videos are awesome, I just don't understand why people would click the dislike. These are good educational tips and tricks and even how to build tools and required equipment.
    All of us in this field are on a forever learning path. And knowledge is key.
    Maybe some haters that think they are better, well then, make your own "better" videos.
    Or people that are not in this field and don't understand the art, skill, time and effort this kind of work involves.

    You have a great way of explaining what takes place in sheet metal forming. I had historically steered clear of anything involving an English Wheel, or a Bead Roller etc. as it always struck me as some form of sorcery. Now I'm exploring these as options to expand my ability as time, money and space allow... you are still some kind of wizard though!

    I am at base level, just started trying to tune up the Maddox body and fender kit. Also stopped by a yard sale and bought all the big hand files that felt good in my hand to make some slappers. When the seller asked why I wanted that mix of files he mentioned he has some old professional body tools and gave me his phone number. Basically what I have learned from you has been enough to impress a retired metal shaper into selling me his old tools. Much love brothers

      Wow man that’s great! Lucky score. Those old tools are hard to come by. Glad you are getting into it!

    I don’t usually comment videos but you and other young people give me great hope for the future. We have local 30ish guys becoming master woodworkers, machinists and metal artists. I love watching a good presenter and craftsman!
