    You are one of the few who go into great detail in their description of what is going on. I really appreciate that. Can't wait for part two.

    Just finished watching....the real value in this Bedford resto. is the fact the vehicle was manufactured with purpose. The purpose was utilitarian. Your end goal is to put it back into service. As a merchant of tea and cake it will again be of practical use. Not a toy or museum prop, but again serving the public in a useful enterprise. I see it as an exceptional labour of love that will bring joy;and smiles; to all who work out of;and purchase items from; this piece of British history. The blending of new and old brings an even greater practical utility to your unique Bedford. Thank you for showing me there are still artisans with hard-earned skills and most of all: SOUL. The very best to you and yours.

    Nice im working on a 1970 Dodge W200, When I lived on Ascension Island in the 80s I had a Bedford van for a bit ended up trading it for a mini pickup that needed tons of welding haha. Nice upload!

    This video made the biggest improvements to my patching, and I’m still referring to it and trying to improve each time. Thanks Trev! Never mind the ridiculous thumbs down, I bet it was from the old panel :)

    Thanks for making these! Your content is awesome and so educational. The guys who do the v weld end up adding so much filler to cover the v. Your results are obviously so much better. You could grind down the back and nobody would even know you had patched the panel. Impressive results.

    Thanks Trev for taking the time to explain things. It really helps us new to welding. I have body panels to weld and your tips will certainly help me from making some mistakes.

    More revision for me Trev, as I have watched all your videos before and now picking up again on the specific ones I need for my next task.
    I have shared one of your videos with my car club Facebook group The Gentry Register and intend to share more. Thanks again teacher Trev, very helpful and your work always looks great. Good point you made about your van restoration and the value of the finished vehicle. There are so many people only interested in the cars that make the money so its great to see your philosophy in action. 👍
    My project is a replica of an old MG so it is of the same ilk, but I don't care what others think, I am really enjoying my project and I'm doing it (with your help) to the very best of my ability. Every day's a school day.
    Cheers Trev 🤔👍
    Kind regards Paul

    you're the first person i've seen ever use a body saw to cut the metal. i don't like the big gap left by an angle grinder. i just did a patch on my old truck and i rushed the spots and warped it bad. i have to learn patients which is not my virtue. i weld so seldom i have a time getting the settings right on the welder. that all said thanks for the video. i really enjoyed and i learned something and that's always good.

    @PauliesProjects Před 5 lety +7

    Absolutely one of my favorite videos of yours. Great information here. I am happy you explained the use of the damp cloth, moving around, skip welds, and the "panel" pliers that several places sell. What I hoped you would have explained in the beginning is how you set up the welder to weld on the thin gauge steel.. welder settings, and gauge of wire used.
    Spot on explanation of everything. All of your tips exemplify the quality I looking for in my restoration. Cheers Trev!

    • @trevsblog
      @trevsblog  Před 5 lety +3

      Chax24 I have thought since about making another video showing the welder setup and also another technique I use for reducing distortion by using a heat sink using wiper cloth soaked in water. Lots more stuff coming soon. Cheers Trev 👍

  • @loadtheskillrounds4167
    @loadtheskillrounds4167 Před 5 lety +2

    This was awesome! I’m just starting with my own mig welder and have very similar work to do. These tips from a pro like you are very helpful, it’s good to understand the properties of the metal and how it reacts to the weld and the heat.

  • @GT.Bugger
    @GT.Bugger Před 4 lety +2

    Been looking for a video like this for ages, should have known better and came straight to your channel! Wanted to see how you butt weld two panels together and make it look like it was never done. I've seen people use a step tool which almost creates a lap weld, which I thought about. But seeing you do it this way and the results I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you!

    Many many thanks, Trev... Truly inspiring ... And I have been welding since the late sixties ... Probably, we share a similar philosophy, as I have spent over thirty years saving Citroën A- and G- series cars, 2cv etc. which were despised by the motor trade in general in the U.K.

    Flipping heck you’re a good teacher! I’m the same age as the van and I’m just starting learning welding, mainly for artisan reasons as I'm not well enough to do big jobs, and I’ve learnt more from you than most people of the other videos put together. Thank you for posting this.
    May I ask why you use a mask rather than the usual flashy helmets?

    I've never done any welding myself and just seen a bunch of tutorials here and there, but do want to get my hands into it but didn't quite know where to start, whether to go for a gas-based or solely electric for welding car parts, not quite massive jobs and it's only meant for doing little projects, would be nice to know your opinion on this!

    I was into collision work and bodywork for years and then got sick of body work and become a welder fitter cause mostly cause I got sick of dealing with rust buckets. lol But I now miss both of those trades due to a back injury. Been bed ridden now for two years and haven't been able to work for twenty years. My point is when I did do body work I used air to cool the metal down between welds have you tried that?

  • @als.4568
    @als.4568 Před 5 lety

    Can’t get enough of your “stuff” Trev, but I know you have a life, and there are only 24 hours in a day!
    In the trailer to many of your videos there is a corner patch shown, replacing a rusted area in the corner of a front or rear panel (?). It is highly compound curved, looks like a 6” radius, or so. I sure would like to see how you formed that patch! Is there a video showing that process, or was it just cut from another panel? ANY info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Al in USA.
