I have lots more CZcams videos, and here's a link to my website - which lists 20 full-length videos you can rent, stream, or download, plus the Covell line of fine-quality metalworking tools: covell.biz/
You can see the great Covell shirts, cups, and stickers here: rons-store-10....
a cliffhanger! looking forward to the next video! I like where this is going.
Thanks Tony. You should be receiving your dustpan in a couple of days. I can't wait to see what sort of handle you will dream up!
Im just as excited to see your half of the project!
Can't you just use your time machine to travel to when it's out?
What a mad Collaboration this is
@@RonCovell Hopefully This Old Tony and the Maho will do a collaboration for the handles.
Dude imagine being Ron Covell's favorite person on CZcams and This Old Tony AT THE SAME TIME
Life moves in mysterious ways!
Ron Covell AND This Old Tony???? Maybe 2020 isn't so bad after all.
That's the best comment yet!
Right!?!
Don't be absurd, 2020 sucks! What you're seeing is the bright star in the sky from the bottom of the well. Cheers
I just love it when people I follow on youtube discovers eachother and connect like this. Love your work, it's so inspiring.
give ToT a moment to Eff this up.....
My wife saw me watching this, and thought I was nuts for wanting to make a dustpan. Not understanding that it has nothing to do with the dustpan, it’s the process of learning metal work.
Well, I'm glad you understand, at least!
Exactly! Now I can make a dust pan shaped hood scoop! (no seriously, this is really cool information, glad guys like Ron & ToT are sharing this kind of knowledge!)
What are talking about? It has everything to do with making a dustpan!
Thanks for viewing, and commenting!
The process is the same for a hood scoop - just turn it upside-down!
Incredible information, thank you 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Woah this is the greatest crossover event I've ever seen!
I'm so glad you liked it!
Wow is it really THE Alec Steele? I mean I figured this collab would draw some near CZcams fab fan royalty out but didn't know it would be you good Sir.
I mean what's next OxTool or Adam Boothe?????
Whoa, Ron, Tony, Alec....WE NEED A COLLAB FOR 2021!!!
"There's more to life than just being practical."
You have no idea how long I've been looking for those words to describe doing things for the fun of it.
Glad you like my point of view!
Learned "rollation" today. Thank you so much for educating us!
Happy to help!
Your way of teaching really reminds me of Bob Ross', showing how accessible things can be in a calm and simple manner. Thank you for putting this out there for the world to see, you now have yet another new subscriber.
Wow, thank you!
I see TOT mentioned in a title in my recommended and I can't see a situation where my curiosity isn't immediately activated. I must say I was not disappointed and now I have a new channel to watch. I'm starting to think that the CZcams algorithm is finally starting to work. Let's just hope it isn't a fluke. 😉👍
So glad you liked the video, and CZcams has directed me to some interesting content recently, too!
Exactly the same reason I'm here... four and a half minutes in, I subscribed!!
Yeah. My subscription list just keeps getting longer and longer.
To anyone new to Ron Covell he's been producing metalworking videos since long before CZcams....to have him say ToT is his favorite channel is seriously high praise in the world of metalwork and custom cars.
@mute8s Me Too! Just added Ron Covell to my Sub List :-)
This could be the most useful 3 videos I have ever watched on CZcams. So many cool tips and ways to use simple layout tools to achieve a beautiful result. Thank you for doing this.
Wow, thanks!
Everyone subscribe to Ron's channel and share with your fellow metalworkers. Ron's a pro, he deserves more viewers! I bought a DVD bundle from his website about 10 years ago and learned a lot.
Wow - thanks so much for chiming in! If there is anyone who doesn't know Aaron's 6061 CZcams channel, you simply gotta go there! He is definitely one of the best! czcams.com/users/aaronmlarsen
Ron Covell is an absolute master. Amazing skill, talent and humbleness!
I just subbed.. a friend of TOT is a friend of mine
I'm very glad to have you as a subscriber!
I used to sit in the library on the floor looking at Ron's books! I not realize he's on youtube now. thank you!! Ron your a Guru!
I've been on CZcams for quite a few years now - I'm very glad you found my channel!
That dustpan is an excellent shape to show so many techniques. Seeing that complexity is something people could stand to learn alone. Great video Ron. 👍🏻👍🏻
Alan - thank you so much! That means a lot, coming from you!
Watching a master fabricator make something that could have been so simple is really satisfying. Craftsmanship will always show.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The final video in the series will launch soon!
such a cool technique, this is the basic patterning and metal forming info I've been looking for. Can't wait for the next video.
Awesome, thank you!
This video was worth it for the Rollation tip alone! Thanks Ron! Been a fan of your work since the 90's.
Awesome, thank you!
Looking forward to Part 2. I've got a pedal car that my Dad bought for me when I was 4 or 5 years old (I'm now 69). That pedal car got left behind at the farm when we left so many years ago - every one of my many cousins and I played with that car whenever we visited and it got oh so beat up, covered in dents and is now missing a seat bottom. That dust pan sure looks like it could be modified into a seat bottom for a pedal car ! Admire the craftsmanship and appreciate the willingness to share !
Yes, a hammerform would be great for a pedal car seat. I once built a complete, Packard-inspired pedal car body using a hammerform. It was featured in Tim Remus's book 'Ultimate Sheet Metal Fabrication': www.amazon.com.au/Ultimate-Sheet-Metal-Fabrication-Timothy/dp/0964135892
I came over from This Old Tony's channel. I enjoy watching true craftsmen work and you are one of the best.
Thanks and welcome!
Everything about this is awesome. Especially getting two great guys working together. A big fan of both.
Thanks for the kind words!
Ron, I'm still kind of new to your videos, and I love them a lot. Your way of teaching makes things look achievable. You're not only telling how to make a dust pan. You're telling how to think a fixture that can make a step in my project possible. Thank you.
By the way, I love the old tools and machines that are visible in your videos. They have their own style to them. New tools may work the same or sometimes even a little better, but the old ones are much more beautiful.
Awesome, thank you! I have a mix of new and old tools. I love them both, and I use whatever seems appropriate for the job at hand.
I love the monotone "This Old House" vibe on this channel.
You've earned a new subscriber here!
Awesome, thank you!
Norm Abram and Ron Covell seem like twins, separated at birth, don't they? I wasn't aware of that, but you nailed it! I just subscribed
Ron you're still the best. I still miss your workshops in the Dallas Fort Worth area. All the best to you and yours.
Thanks, you too!
Wow, a collaboration between Ron Covell and This Old Tony! Looking forward to the rest of the videos and making a dust pan of my own soon!
More to come!
Wow, just a dustpan but so many metal shaping skills, and layout techniques that go into this, and its just the right size for all of us novices to try without feeling overwhelmed, thanks for posting Ron!!
Right on!
Wow! A masterclass from Ron Covell on making a hammerform. And this is just part 1? Looking forward to the rest of this series.
We'll keep 'em coming!
I love seeing two unique and skilled craftsmen collaborate with a common goal. And teaching the next generation of future craftsmen what gentleman do , how they do it and have fun doing it ! Love it. Love it and the underlying lesson in a beautifully designed and fabricated " dust pan " with the well thought teaching of technique layout and design. The people this was intended for , will get it. Love it ! Thank you the man , the myth, the legend. " Ron " and next generation fabricator/teacher via CZcams exstrodinair this old Tony. Thanks guys . Loved all three . Just had to come back and watch how it all started again. And this trilogy deserves a great comment. Wish i had something better. Bravo my good men Bravo !!
Wow - thanks for the high praise!
Love me some TOT, and this one. Two great channels!!!
Thanks so much - this is a privilege and an honor for me!
Thank you to This Old Tony for bringing this channel to my attention!!!
Glad to have you on board!
@@RonCovell I love metal working, and enjoy learning new things and watching people make things, so it is a win all around :)
I've never seen a welding table that I would eat off of.......cool techniques...
...just follow this old tony around and you'll find good content
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're always so chill, Ron. You're the Bob Ross of metal fabrication!
Thanks for the wonderful comparison of me to a true master!
@@RonCovell It's a genuine compliment. After 40 years in metal fabrication, I love watching you work.
I would have to clean up the workshop to make this dustpan ... I also need an armored cupboard so my family will stop taking out my tools. Greetings from Poland. :)
You can do it!
Boy oh boy Tony and Ron colab!!!!!!! My life is complete.
More to come, I promise!
Most expensive dust pan in the history of the world....my kind of project!!
I almost thought of making the title about making 'The World's Most Expensive Dustpan'!
I would be willing to sell you a more expensive one.
Hmmm - maybe we should have a contest!
Saw the part on T.O.T. and I been a subscriber to both of you for quite a while. You're both Master Craftsman and I have learned many tricks of the trades from both of you. I am building a car from frame up and have seen you build bucks which I have learned from you on many parts that I need to still make since the body parts are not available anymore, even still today 65 years later after production. I have even taken the time to build.my own bead roller after seeing many benefits of having one. Your videos are fantastic and keep them coming.
Hey, thanks for the nice comments! I promise you there are more videos coming soon!
While I enjoyed this video, I gotta say, as someone who has used a dust pan every day for work (Movie theatres and now Bars) for the last 20 years, I don't really care about the curve of the back, but the ability for the front to stay tight to the ground so I can sweep things in. I'd rather take multiple trips to the trash can for a shallow pan than have to fight to get the material into the pan in the first place. Either way, like the idea of this, sorry for the rant which is really just me sheading off a couple decades of poorly made off the shelf items that I've had to endure.
You sound like a very experienced dust pan user, indeed!
I am in heaven! Master craftsman Ron Covell the Bob Ross of metal forming is collaborating with CZcams wunderkind this old Tony! I’ve never been so excited about dustpan in my LIFE!
Wow, thanks! More to come.
I feel like a caveman who just watched somebody make fire :|
Wow - that may be the most amazing comment I've received so far!
I learned so much in 18 minutes! And we're not even done making a dustpan. Subscribed!
Great - more to come!
When one refers to Old Tony, shouldn't they say "That Old Tony"?
Well, English grammar has never been my strong point, but somehow saying 'That Old Tony' just doesn't seem right, and just calling him 'Old Tony' seems a bit disrespectful.
This video took me straight back to my middle school wood and metal shop. The mastery you share here is stunning.
I'm so glad you liked it!
Ah , what a great pair , not very often I say that to a man . ......... or two.
you really should make three , and give one away , signed by you both and dated of course.
Hmmm - not a bad idea!
Wow...all your techniques are like magic to me. I build a lot of things out of wood and steel, but without too much overlap with your main focus. I hope to learn from you to expand my horizons of building!
Great to hear!
Oh my goodness. I “work” with wood. Built two houses a caravan, 2 boats etc. But realise from this I have crawling for 73 yrs and you have shown me how to walk!! Everything I “knew” but did not do! Am so grateful for your patient teaching.
It's all about continuing to learn and evolve!
Great video, this is where it’s at for me. That first glimpse of the hammer form process is what first inspired me into getting interested in metal shaping. 👍
Thanks, Trev - so great to have you chime in on this one! Did you notice that I used really simple tools in this video - that's largely because of your suggestion!
This video is great, no unnecessary video material, straight to the point. Very educational, cant wait to see the next vid. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
ToT sent me. Happy to subscribe. This is priceless info that's easy to follow, with almost unlimited applications for hot rodders and would be fabricators.
You should enjoy what's coming next!
This is what social media and CZcams are made for, sharing amazing skills and seeing what years of accumulated experience can deliver. Thank you..
Wow, thank you!
You have been blessed. We have been blessed.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video!
This is kind of like watching 80's PBS. Great :)
Thanks!
Ron, beautiful workmanship. I have been dreading a project I have to do and your techniques have helped me figure out how to do it. I have to install a round tapered bathroom sink into an oak counter top while leaving part of the round sink exposed. I subscribed to your channel and I plan to watch more of your work. Thank you This Old Tony for introducing me to Ron.
Glad to help!
How does this legendary man not have 50mil subscribers?
I'm workin' on it!
Ron Covell is like the Bob Ross of welding!
I consider that a high compliment!
Other than the welder, I like how low tech and simple the fabrication technique is... no fancy tools or computers needed, just a refined brain!
Thanks so much. Honestly, I do have a shop full of expensive tools, but I've learned that the more accessible I make my online projects, the more people can relate to them!
This old Tony brought me here and by God I'm glad he did 🤙
Welcome aboard!
I'm a subscriber to this old Tony I've never saw your videos before beautiful layout instructions
Awesome, thank you!
I thought there was no one better than ToT in making a mountain out of a molehill. He sent me and I'm glad he did. Great job & amazing skills! Sub'd!
Thank you very much!
A master of practicality at work.
This Old Tony is one of my absolute favorite youtubers. Now thanks to CZcams recommended videos I know about you, too! :D
Wow, thanks!
I have never learned so much in so short a time before. Thank you!
Wow - that's high praise indeed!
10 years ago i was watching Rons videos on forming gas tanks. I never thought to look him up on youtube and see what he is up to. Its great to see the collaboration between tony and ron.
I hope you can check out some of my other videos, too!
A great teacher and master craftsman.
Thank you so much! My next video debuts tomorrow morning.
Incredible talent. Looking forward to part two.
Just a few more weeks!
Thanks Ron!
I’m a huge fan from way back......worn out a few of your VHS tapes.
Tony is in my top 5 of YTubers❤️
Wow, thank you!
I appreciate the conversions of the old fashioned measurements into regular measurements.
Glad to help - hey, what if the world had 6 systems of measurement?
@@RonCovell I'd still use whatever units were in the drawing, which is a crazy idea for some people
Ron you're a saint for giving a boost to TOT's struggling youtube career X-D
Hmmm - you're a funny guy!
Once again, it takes planning and proper techniques to arrive at a quality item. You seem to have that foresight to know that as well and are showing such plans. Bravo sir, Bravo. I can see the form building coming together now.
Thank you very much!
Two of the best channels on CZcams
Thanks a million!
Thank you much like Tony's material this is helpful for furthering knowledge. Also I'm amazed with your process thanks again for taking the time to share.
My pleasure!
that rollation technique is ingenious :O
Wow Im glad I learned of your channel through This old Tony, I really like your way of doing and explaining things. One quick tip for the countersinking(I do a lot of woodwork) is to use the flat of the head on the screw. So the pointy end of the screw would be facing up and you would be testing the countersink with the flat of the head against the metal. When the width of the head can just fit into the countersink then its the perfect depth.
Hey - that's a great tip!
That is just the information I needed to get a stuck project of mine back on track again. Excellent! Thanks.
Fantastic!
Wandered over from This Old Tony's. SO MANY FAB TECHNIQUES!! Subscribed!!
I'm so glad you did!
Holy smokes, two of my favorite guys working together. Masters both!!
The rollation technique! I love it! I have a tubing bender and for whatever reason, I cannot find distances to the radius of a bend. This explains it well! Thank you!
Rollation would work well for tube bending!
Came from this old tony. Instant subscriber! Can’t wait to watch all your videos now!
Awesome! Thank you!
I cannot imagine what type of people would give this a thumbs down As the old sayihg goes, there is no accounting for taste I could be less polite but I am a guest here on Ron's channel and respect both he and his regulars
Thanks for your interest, and respect!
This old tony is the reason I got into machining
He's a great teacher, and extremely funny, too!
Adding Rollation to my vocabulary. Thanks Ron I always learn something watching your videos.
You're very welcome!
Thanks Ron , so nice to watch a master craftsman teach , liked and subbed .
Awesome, thank you!
Attaching my pencil to a protractor to help draw my predetermined cutting angle. Pure Genius.
Glad you liked it!
So happy to see this channel grow. I watched my first video from you 7 years ago, how time flies.
I'm happy too - believe me!
Ron, I'm ashamed to say I'd not heard of you before today (I saw the This Old Tony reference in your title and clicked reflexively). Please believe, however, that I just liked/sub'd/bell'd, and am thoroughly looking forward to seeing more from you. You are, hands down, one of the best explanatory narrators on CZcams. I'm not crystal clear how one maintains a Buddha-like tranquility like that, but your calm, almost clinical detailing of your steps is strangely soothing to watch.
You're like the Bob Ross of CZcams metalworkers (I mean that in the nicest, most flattering possible way): "Now I'm going to cut the hammerform. So we'll countersink some screws... happy little screws, and there: nice and flush, isn't that plumb? Now we'll scribe a line... a happy little line... maybe at an angle... I think I'll be setting mine to 20 degrees, but you can set yours however y'all like... there's no wrong way to fabricate! Now we'll switch to a jigsaw..."
Hey - welcome aboard, and thanks so much for the very flattering comments!
Holy smokes this just made my day!
I have a VHS copy of working with tubing somewhere, need to get that badboy out and rewatch it...
Hey, VHS was king of the 20th century - I hope you still have a player that works!
I am a fan of both channels and TOT subscriber so I know Tony will rise to the occasion and crack some of his grandpa jokes
I'm sure you can count on that! Tony just let me know he shipped the handle to me, so his video should be uploaded pretty soon!
@@RonCovell thanks for the heads up. And because of that now I've subscribed to your channel too.
Welcome aboard! I should have the last video in the dustpan series up in a week or so.
@@RonCovell can't wait to watch how you gonna finish it
So cool to find you on youtube . I learned metal forming from your books in the 80s and still use what I learned today. The pattern making techniques were transferable to leatherwork and marine trimming too. The foundation you gave me set me up to be successful in many endeavours. I still have some of your books
Rock on!
THANK YOU for adding metric measurements. They make things so much easier for us Euros.
I fully understand that there are more 'Metric' viewers world wide than those few who use the Imperial system.
Nice work so far. Glad to see a collab.
Pretty sure you could just sell sheets of steel and plywood with this video attached to hipsters to never assemble like so many HeathKit radios and make out.
Can't wait to see more.
That's a great idea!
You popped up in my "suggested" feed, and I'm so glad! What a wonderfully put together video. Carefully and methodically explaining everything, you make it all look so easy!
Thanks for sharing.
Welcome aboard, and look for more videos in the near future!
So many skills and techniques displayed in this part one. Awesome job! Going to head over to part 2 now
Awesome, thank you!. Part 3 just launched recently - don't miss it!
This is why youtube amazes me. Undiscovered awesome content. (undiscovered to me)
Glad you liked it!
I have been watching your tutorials since i was 5 somehow I didn't think to look for you online thank you for all you give to so many
You are so welcome!
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I will be smashing out some dust pan forms while waiting for the next video. Can’t wait for the space shuttle door build!! 👌
Tony has already done some work on the Apollo 11 hatch: czcams.com/video/d6SbRkM0C3s/video.html
Rolation (rollation?)... Blew my mind. So simple. So genius.
I can't take credit for inventing rollation, but it has been helpful for me many times!
you sir are a true master in your craft!
Thanks!
Just found your channel and it is a total joy to watch. Thank you 🧡
Thanks, Deena - nice to have you on board. From your name and picture, you appear to be a woman, and I 'm so glad that there are a number of women who enjoy content of this sort!
@@RonCovell Yes I'm definitely a woman! 😁 Yep not many of us appreciate such skills. I used to be a silversmith, and I'm an artist so I love them. Thank you Ron 🧡
Deena - I have a background in sculpture - but I went back to building cars because it's so hard to make a living doing art.
@@RonCovell I can tell you are an artist Ron. Your lines, structures and composition are incredibly sensitive and you can eyeball things to look 'right' with a fine artist's eye. 🧡
Deena - thanks for the very kind words!
It's been a while since you showed all the steps in creating something. Well appreciated.
I'm delighted that you enjoyed it. More to come!
This was really informative. Since I don't have a Maho or a Serpa, but I do have a dustpan, this might be the place for me. Seriously, though, Ron, I really enjoyed seeing these techniques. Just the details of how you made the two curved metal bars match the pattern were great to learn. Thanks!
Everyone develops their own favorite techniques over time, and I love to share what I've learned with others!
@@RonCovell There were just SO many mindbending nuances in the creation of that part of the tool. It seems to me there's a sort of convergence when exceptionally high skill levels are attained by attention to detail, and deep learning. It's as if you break through to a core of fundamental principles which are central to a wide range of apparently unrelated situations and endeavours. Kudos to you, sir, for laying it out so beautifully, memorably and simply!
Wow - that's pretty high praise, indeed - THANKS!
Your a wizard Ron! A lot of small tricks im sure you've learned over your life, very helpful!
Thanks 👍
