I'm learning a lot from your videos and techniques. However, I would not recommend using brake cleaner to clean weld areas. Clorinated brake cleaner can generate phosgene gas which can kill you. Please keep up the awesome work and stay safe!!!
I was looking for a tig welded skull but this was better
You should have talked. It’s ok that you didn’t and I know it was one of the first videos. 😂. Good job ! So how many hours did the job take and how much did you charge?
Did this to my bug to cover the 7 inch wide rims that came with the car. Far more subtle than flares and most people don't realize even that they are widened.
Very nice video! Great craftsmanship! What gauge metal do you use for the patch?
Thats art
One word for you...wow
husband, experienced welder (Navy) learned a lot. Loved idea of tape for pattern
What gauge is that steel?
Sweet work. Earned my subscription.
Nice work !! What diameter tig rod are you using ?
Awesome and straight to the point! Thank you I will make me one now 😂
I really like how you get straight to business. You make it look so easy. Obvious years of experience talking here. I look forward to getting my hands dirty and learning by doing

Дуже гарна робота. В Україні багато автомобілів з аукціону Copart і багато майстрів. Для маленьких пошкоджень використовують шпаклівку. Ви робите бездоганно без шпаклівки.
Thank you! 🙏
Very god job, greetings from Germany 👍
Thank you Germany!! 😎👉
Greeting From Albania. I am new at this procces. I want to learn how to weld the rims because i also work at e tire shop, so this was going to be very useful for me. But i have something i want to ask you. When i weld the aluminum and i think everything is ok, when we put the tire back on the wheel it keeps leaking air from the welded spot. Please can you help me ? And i also want to thank you about the video, I found it very helpful.
Well it sounds like something isn't right. There is a lot to unpack here, are you Tig welding? If so what filler material are you using? Do you have adequate aperage when welding to get full penetration? Are you making sure you are welding the entire crack? Sometimes the crack goes farther than you think, but usually you can notice this after welding. how clean is the surface when welding? Are you welding both sides? Are you getting a bunch of porosity? Is the aluminum boiling when you weld? How long after you weld the wheel does it start leaking? Sometimes there is two cracks. Sometimes it's cracked around the spokes (which I don't recommend fixing). I need more information in order to help
Very cool and informative, thank you. I just watched your tire stretching video and was wondering if you've ever tried a sand bag with a hold like a donut and an extra thinner sand bag donut hole insert. It seems to me that the donut hole would give you the same shrinking / stretching effect as the tire concept and having different thickness donut hole inserts would provide the extra needed support.
Ive accidentally brassed things before, and you dont need *that* much heat, but you have to run the brush a bit more. I guess you can creat the heat you need with just the wheel. I could be wrong, but i liked to play in the shop on my free time.
Great tutorial! Thanks
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your time and talent! What sort of sort of special magic tool is shown at 15:03 ?
Thank you I'm glad you like them! It's called a shrinking Disk. It helps level any highs in the panel that might have been created by hammer and Dolly
What size filler rod do you use?
did you put a metal sealer on the inside of the fender before you put the inner structure back on if so,what type is best.

Of you heated the metal would it be more pliable to hammer ?
Eh not really.
Why'd you TIG the front, and MIG the back? Genuinely interested.

Sir I want to make a metal Beyblade attack ring using aluminium liquid how can I give shape
What is that? Lol
U don't know Beyblade
@@HarshalChachere Bro I have know idea what your staying
Hi
You make that look so easy. Great job.
Thank you!
Thanks for responding to my posts, because many who have many followers don't do so but ask for feedback. What's great about your videos is that we say to ourselves that we would be able to do it. The English wheel, the bead roller and other tools can be found for very little money for an amateur. What you do is fascinating and what's more, with explanations, for me, I have YT translate it and it works quite well.
Thank you I appreciate the feedback man! Makes me proud that people like my videos, I try to give as much information as I can for guys who are working on there own projects and want to get professional results. I try to respond to as many comments as I can. Sometimes I might miss a few but I really try. The comments help push my videos so more people can see them so I appreciate you commenting!
I don't know how this guy only have 17k subscribers, He deserve a lot more!
Thanks dude! I appreciate the compliment!
I'm always amazed, you have to be clever, like here using a piece of metal as a model. On the other hand, finishing with a hammer and dolly at the end certainly requires more know-how. The repair is perfect and invisible.
Thanks man! Sometimes you have to get creative
Thank you for the video. Being brand new to the entire world of body work, this helps a lot!
Right on man if you want to learn more and wouldn't mind me asking you a few questions shoot me an email Tubalcainbamf@gmail.com
A little bondo won't be shameful, it's impossible to do otherwise!
I had never seen this technique with clay, and the contour model, on the other hand, the Vray Shelling technique is effective, so I am writing from France.
I learned this technique from Wray when I worked with him in his shop for a few weeks
@@BeAMetalFabricator I saw all the videos too
Hey buddy there's a auction in Buda TX not sure how far that is from you but some really nice sheet metal tools auction is...jones Swenson auction...real nice stuff on there auction ends in a few days....take care
I seen that! They got some nice machines!
Was the first welding machine a Tig? Which brand was it ? Thanks for your content it helps a lot.
Thanks for watching my stuff dude! Yeah first machine was a Miller 180 tig
All the aluminum wheels I've seen repaired, were done poorly and still leaked. One apparently was so bad that it caused a tire to blow out. Just know what you're doing or just straight up replace it.
Yeah you have to know what your doing. Whoever that is welding those wheels that you know... You should tell them to stop. Or watch my videos.
@@BeAMetalFabricator I have no clue who's repairing them. But these were on vehicles that had been traded in. One was a 2016 Chevy 1500 factory aluminum wheels and the other was a 2019 Challenger 392 Scat pack. I do agree, you better know what you are doing and if I do find out who did the repairs, I will send them your way.
Thank you bro!
Ggreat work, Where is your shop???
Albuquerque NM
Thanks for knowledge! Love watching someone doing cool stuff back home NM!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!!
Truly insane man, work of art
💯💯💯
Get a file handle.
Don't tell me what to do😝
Dude, buy some wide tape haha
3/4" works better for panels Crowned in both directions. Also I didn't have any handy😂
Hahaha, yeah fair enough. Thin tape is mint for fucked shapes. I'm a spray painter, so seeing you take that long to mask that section with small tape kinda triggered me lol
Hahaha I've actually got that comment from a lot of people but it wasn't a mistake because the more people that comment the more TH-cam pushes the video 😎👉
What did you charge for this job?
I charge 115 per hour. I did both fenders and the other fender was way worse. It took me almost 8hrs to do both sides if I remember correctly.
Sehr geil😊
Great video, well explained mate. Keep on keeping on.
I'm about to do a Shortbed conversion on my f100 and also have to replace cab mounts and floor pans so I'll be watching whatever you got on beginner welding
Sounds great bro! I'd be interested in learning more about your skill level and any challenges you're facing with welding and fabrication. I'd love to offer some tips and guidance if you're up for it. Shoot me an email at Tubalcainbamf@gmail.com
