Congratulations Ron on your 200,000 Subscribers. You deserve every one. You are not only an expert in metal shaping and forming, you're a brilliant teacher but in my eyes, your most amazing traits are being personable and humble. You make me feel like I can actually achieve what you are achieving, it's not out of my reach. Thank You for everything that you have done and continue to do. 😁👍
Wow, thank you!
Many many years ago when you first started to upload I recommended you make all your content free. You actually did it and look at you go! what a great last leg of life, spread your knowledge around the world and build yourself a nice residual income nest egg to enjoy yourself with. Great content and here is to many more years of watching.
Thanks so much! For the record, I have put shortened versions of many of my full-length videos on CZcams, but I still get a lot of sales of the full-length versions - some on DVD, but more these days through our streaming service. These sales really help augment my semi-retirement income, so I don't plan to make everything available free just yet.
To me you're like the Mr Rogers of metalworking - always calm, always kind, always informative, always friendly. I've been here since 10,000 subs, and I'll still be here at 10,000,000.
Thanks so much - I truly appreciate the support!
Your patience and methodical prep is incredible with these projects. Congrats on 200k Ron! Happy you’re able to share your craft with the world!
Brian - I'm so thankful there are people like you who enjoy this sort of information!
Congrats on the 200k !
That seat will be a work of art, once completed.
Have a good day, Ron.
Thanks so much, Joe!
My boyfriend loves watching your videos and I think you are just delightful! Even I find these cool videos now ⭐
Yay! Thank you! Metalworking is not just for one gender - it is for anyone who is interested!
Only a true master can make something this difficult look so easy... Thank you for your videos Ron, and congratulations on 200k subscribers!
Many thanks!
No! We look forward to seeing YOU next time! It's absolutely amazing what you can do out of sheet material.
Thank you! Cheers!
We like watching your videos as much as you like making these videos.
I appreciate that!
The seat is coming along very nicely!
One thing to note that might help your viewers: When you're installing those self-clenching nuts, make sure you DON'T deburr the hole. Just drill the hole and install the nut. Deburring will remove material that the clenching operation needs.
Congrats on the 200k subscribers!
Thanks for the well-wishes. Yes, it's important not to de-burr the holes. I had to learn that lesson the hard way!
Mr. Covelle has made many Great accomplishments in his field . I was really happy for him when he won the Darly Starbird award . And he is more than well-deserving of well over 200,000 subscribers . As a lifelong Auto body technician I can truly appreciate his talent. However,my fabrication skills are on the caveman level next to his .😢😂😮😅
Thanks a million!
Congrats on the 200k. Very well deserved!!! Onto the 250k!!!!
Thanks so much!
I was thinking to myself back when you were around 10k subs "How the hell does Ron Covell only have this many subs?" I'm so glad you are gaining traction and your channel is growing. Every sub is well deserved. Thank you for all the excellent tips and content Ron 👍👍
Wow, thank you, and I'm glad to see my channel growing so well!
Inning set of brackets. Thank so much Ron for all the fabrication tips that open my mind to new ideas and processes. 👍👍😎👍👍
Glad you like them!
Congratulations on 200k Ron!
Thank you so much 😀
I've always thought of sheet metal work as something of a dark art. It was always difficult for me to understand how you would go from flat sheet, to something with all of those perfect curves. You do an excellent job of demystifying this, and breaking things down into steps that are absolutely clear, well delineated, and especially, easily understandable. This kind of thing is what every craftsman with any knowledge that wants their craft to survive should be doing right now.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoy learning the 'intimate details' of doing this work!
Congrats on the 200k subs, Ron 😃.
Those might be the sexiest brackets I've ever seen 😁.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers! 👍😊👍
Thanks so much!
Watching an absolute master at work, I am in awe. 200k, congrats.. I expect it will go a lot higher.
Thank you very much!
Great to see your influence gracing Colin's channel, Great work 👍
Absolutely!
oooo, the fit of the end caps when you dropped them in place - so good. You make all this look effortless :)
Thank you so much. I've done this work for over 50 years, so I have learned a thing or two about how to get the results I want. Also, with the video editing process, I can (and do) cut out a lot of the slow, one-step-at-a-time process of getting a part like that to fit just-so.
Congrats on the the 200K milestone. I never fail to learn something about process and order of operations from your videos. I'm not necessarily forming sheet metal, but the lessons learned absolutely inform my approach to Fusion 360 for 3D printing and plywood fabrication. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
Another treat,Ron. Great watching. All the best to you.
Thanks, you too!
That depth stop countersink is the coolest tool I've seen in a while. Gotta pick one of those up.
Congrats on 200k!
Yes! Thank you!
Congratulations Ron!!! Amazing channel and you’ll be at 500K in no time!!
Thanks so much, and I hope to reach 500K!
Thanks for sharing Ron, I'm always learning from you and applying it to my hot rod since you taught the class in New Paltz NY back in the 90's keep teaching!
I'm so glad you've kept in touch. I plan to keep on teaching for as long as it brings me joy!
200K. Not surprising with your talent and the sharing of it.
The inner pieces and end caps make these supports a cut above.
I had not seen the angle drill before at my local hardware store. It's going on my must have list.
Jere
Thanks so much, Jere! Yes, that angle drill is a great tool! You'll get some good use from one.
Congrats and thank you as I learn so much from all of you setups/fixtures
Awesome, thank you!
Dear Ron. Welcome back. You're a sight for sore eyes!. First of all congratulations on reaching 200000 subscribers although you deserve much more. Always so knowledgeable, as I said before you're a breath of fresh air on CZcams. Cheers from OZ mate.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations on 200k. Always nice to see craftsmanship. And thanks for the tips and tricks.
Thank you too!
As usual. Perfect craftsmanship.
All the best
Thank you! Cheers!
Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers, and thanks for all you do Ron. You are a truly excellent teacher.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations, Ron! Nice work, as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
Super excited to see your back Ron and, Congratulations on hitting the 200k sub mark, you deserve that and many more my friend!! 👍👍
Thank you very much!
Hi Ron, You are the best!
Hey, thanks!
Excellent work as always, Ron.
I appreciate that!
Beautiful seat and very clear instructions on your process!
Glad you like it!
Awesome video Ron . Here's to your next 200k🎉
Thanks 👍
I don't even work with metal but I learn something useful everytime I watch your content. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge
I appreciate that!
Looking forward to this but I will have to catch you later.
I hope you enjoy it when you can.
It's more of an issue in steel inserts, but too much pressure can deform the threads on those self clinching inserts. The big shops all have big pressure regulated machines, but even then it's usually a trial and feel more so than "by the book."
Thanks for the warning on that. I've always used low-pressure presses, so it hasn't been a problem so far, but it's something to keep in mind.
Congratulations.

Your ability to clearly pass on your skills and expertise makes you tops in your field. Thank you for sharing.
So nice of you!
Thank you once again and congratulations on 200k (still too few!). 😎👍🏻
Thank you too!
Congratulations on the 200 000 subscribers!
Thank you very much!
200,000 well deserved subs Ron 🧡
Thanks so much, Deena!
Thanks Ron for another great video. Waiting for it to start.
Hope it met your expectations!
@@RonCovell thank you, always enjoyable
Congrats, each video is a treat to me
I truly appreciate that!
For hole saws that use a 1/4" drill, I like to drill the 1/4" hole, then replace the drill in hole saw with a 1/4" round rod. Now I know the center hole won't be pulled off to the side.
That's a great trick!
You made my day! Thank you very much Sir Ron
My pleasure!
Thanks Ron, great clip.
Thanks a million!
You are such a master . I look forward to every opportunity to watch you work.
Thanks a million!
Very nice work, great video, thanks for sharing
Congratulations Ron. I worked as a welder and fabricator in the early 80s. I wish I could’ve had a mentor like you. Back then you learn by trial and error. There was no CZcams to go looking for help.
CZcams has been a game-changer for all of us!
Hello Dave, how are you doing 😊
Amazing as ever. And Colin Furze gave you a shout-out, he's CZcams royalty!
Thank you, and I was incredibly honored to have Colin Furze mention me on his channel!
Yes yes furze is a clever lil fella but compares very little to the Finesse of Fabrication, The Mr. Ron Covell! 👏👏👏👏👏
Congrats on your 200k!
👍💪✌
Thanks!!
Congrats on the 200,000 subs, which is great considering your last video about the seat was 3 months ago.
Thank you so much! Yes, I've had a lot of things on my plate recently, but it's good to be back on the sea project.
Truly an artist. I'm always impressed at how complex parts like this are constructed. Very fun to watch the process. Congrats on the milestone and thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Congratulations Ron but I'm a little angry that it's at 200,000.... You deserve 1,000,000 subs. 😁👍
Maybe someday I'll reach one million subscribers - I'll certainly keep making new videos!
always nice work mr Ron thanks for the info
You are very welcome!
Coming along nicely.. Ill be back in June to work on my Steel version.
Bic
Thanks so much, Bic! I'll be eager to see what you do. The seat mounts were spot-welded onto the steel seat I made my patterns from.
Amazing work!
I'm very glad you liked it. I'm working on the final installment right now.
Yes! Ive been patiently waiting for this!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Great milestone, Ron. As always, a fantastic video. Truly amazing workmanship!
Thank you kindly!
Amazing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Un gusto ver tus vídeos, gracias
Very interesting to watch, you make it look so easy to shape sheet metal. Congratulations with reaching another milestone. Best wishes from Norway.
Thank you very much!
Curious on you welder settings? Sounds a higher frequency. Love the craftmanship and I learn new tricks every new video, I have never seen instruction on making templates before so that was great!
I most often set the frequency between 100 and 120 HZ for most aluminum welding.
Привет из России! Очень круто! Санта - перфекционист) Респект!
Большое спасибо!
Who else was surprised that Ron got a mention on a recent vid by Colin Furze?
Nobody was as surprised (and delighted) as I was!
Now I need fresh coffee ,,,, here we go.
Glad you could watch the Premiere!
@@RonCovell only just made it ,,, but as per usual , a total joy to watch Sir.
Fantastic my friend! And that's a pretty slick deburring tool, did you make it?
Thanks so much, and I got the deburring tool from an aircraft tool supplier. It could well have been Aircraft Spruce, but I don't remember for sure.
VERY NICE!!! I have some of the adjustable counter sinks which I use from time-to-time. I notice yours have a plastic "protector" on the open end where they bear on the metal. I think I'll make some of those for mine. Cuts down on scratching. Also, what thickness and alloy are the parts and do you have any problem with the sharp bends in the brake cracking on the outside of the bend? Thanks for another great video.
Glad you liked the video! I'm using 3003 H-14 aluminum sheet, .062" thick, and this alloy can be bent on a tight radius without cracking.
At work, I'm an expert at putting my nuts in a vise all the time... maybe not quite the same concept ^_^
Congrats on the 200K, you are an amazingly skilled metal forming artist and teacher!
This world needs all kinds of experts. I appreciate your congratulations!
👍😊
Congrats on 200k! I love that hole debur tool, were can I get one?
Thanks so much! I got the deburring tool from Brown Aviation:

👍x200k
Thanks - I'm thrilled!
totally enjoying watching you build this! I have two questions: #1What is that deburring tool? Is that commercially available? #2Rivnuts vs self clinching nuts - what are the pros of a self clinching nut over a rivnut? is one stronger than the other?
thanks!
I got the deburring tool here:
www.browntool.com/Listview/tabid/344/txtSearch/deburring/ProductID/2802/Default.aspx
Self-clinching nuts are quite different from Rivnuts. They are lower profile, but can only tolerate pressure in one direction - like when the screw tries to pull the nut deeper into the metal.
Rivnuts are larger and a bit 'clunkier' looking, but they can tolerate pressure in both directions. They are less expensive than self-clinching nuts, and they require a special tool to set them.
Your hole deburring tool looks cool. What is it?
200k! Wow well done... When was your big break? 1:33 found it :)
Clever - yes, my 6-foot Chicago bending brake is 'big'.
Love your videos
What did you use on sand paper on final finish sanding ?
Thanks
I put ordinary bar soap on my sanding discs to keep them from loading up with aluminum.
@@RonCovell fantastic thanks
I always thought PEM nuts reallr required the special press setup. Embarrassed I never tried just using a vice rather than sending it out.
I often use an arbor press, too.
I think u don't deserve 200k subscribers... U deserve many more 👍
Thank you so much, and I hope to get more in due time! 😀
Who makes the adjustable depth counter sink tool?
Aircraft Spruce is a good supplier.
Where do you get your chip board from?
One great (and free) source is a 'Big Box' store (Costco where I live). They use chip board to separate packages of toilet paper on pallets.
What did you put on the grinder?
When grinding aluminum, I often use ordinary bar soap to keep the abrasive from loading up.
Fun fact, Ron doesn't speed up any of his videos
HAH!
Amazing work!
Glad you think so!
