Yea bent stuff the wrong way, sawed it the wrong end, twisted it the wrong way, hit too hard, hit it too soft, set fire to it, shorted it out, dropped it, had a leak. Situation normal😀😀😀😀
Yep many times… too many 😂
We need more videos we've missed you. Keep well Trev.
More to come! 👍
Nice video and good demonstration. Sometimes short videos are nice when you don't have a lot of spare time. Cheers for that.
Thank you 😊
👍much respect for the mad skills my friend! Sorry about the elbow. I have the same thing. Here's to peace, love, kindness, and good health around the world. ❤️
Thank you 😊
The hair style never get old 😀!
Thank you 😊
Good to see you again Trev. Hang in there. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thank you 😊
I have tried to come up with a plan to make retainer channels for weatherstrips for a loooong time. I'm currently restoring and doing a video series of a tractor cab and the crusty leftovers of the retainer channels has been used to spice up my dinners lately. Nothing beats rust-pepper hehe
I have searched the entire internet 200 times for a solution to make those channels and......nothing. BUT I think I have been too focused on finding an easy method. My metal brake is a cheap one and almost impossible to use so I discarded that idea.
I abandoned the retainer-channel fabrication but then.....TH-cam told me I REALLY had to watch this this video.
Now I have found the right inspiration to make these and I'll be sure to give you credit for it and also I will surely subscribe to your channel.
Thank you so much for this good tip and I hope your arm will heal and become good as new. Have a great day :)
Thank you and if you want to send me a picture via email, I may have another suggestion. Maybe… cheers Trev ps email is in the video description 👍
@@trevsblog Thank you so much for trying to help :) Sorry about the late reply. The flu has been visiting the last week. I have emailed you with a couple of images and some links. Hope to hear from you. Cheers :)
Your metal forming skills are superb. A true craftsman.

How did I not get a notification for this video??!! I made sure Trev that all your videos notify me immediately.. and yet it failed me..
Awesome video Trev! Glad to see you back in action.. 👍 Cheers!
Thanks Paulie they can’t help but mess with notifications settings etc, I have exactly the same issues. Stay well 👍
I was wondering what that huge void was on TH-cam! Glad you're back at it Trev!
Hey thanks 😊
I've never seen that done with an air chisel before, but that should work very well.
Thanks 😊
Nice to see you back
Thank you 👍
Nice tip Trevor , I might have a go.
Tough times indeed .

What a great tip Trev - I've never thought of using my air chisel set for such an application - thanks, I will try it in future instead of an engineers hammer!

New to me. Great stuff as usual.
Thank you 👍
W elcome back stranger.
Thanks man, good to be back 🤩
Simple and brilliant great bit of lateral thinking .
Thank you 👍
Another great video Trev good to see you back, your so right I have been bending metal all me life and still sometimes fold it the wrong way it so easy to do.
Thanks Steve good to hear from you 😀
Trev, hi from USA, same here, life is not what it used to be. Anyway, I completed my first major body repair, a full rocker rebuild including new inner flange, mid flange to existing but rotted off "ribs", and a patch panel outer rocker. I was using a bead roller to bend over the 18 gauge metal, but only got about 30 degree bend and bent the rest with angle iron. I liked using the bead roller but too bad it was limited. Thanks for the idea of using an air chisel. My shoulders have been aching from all the abuse they get. You are like a friend I've never met in real life because your amazing good nature comes over in your videos and your talent is amazing. [So good to see this video so related to the job I just finished.]
Hey thank you much appreciated 😊
Great to you back bashing tin Trev even if it is for an MOT job!
Thank you 👍
What a great idea! I have used my air chisel to do the same thing. I am happy that you made a video to demonstrate the versatility of this great tool.
Thank you 😊
Repeating lots of other comments, but great to see you back on the Tube Trev, we all miss you dearly. Yeah, both tough and strange times just now, hope you resolve all your issues and come out the other side.
Thanks very much Bob, that’s nice of you to say 😀
Good to see you still putting out great content. Would love to see the sill repair on the Ka. Hope things pick up for you. Van is still looking magnificent, as are the cakes! Best wishes!
Thank you Neil 😁
I should CoCo have to get one off them on the go ,you did it again Pal.
Definitely a great bit of kit, this was a very simple demo, a snippet of what it could be used for 👍
Welcome Back Trev.
Been a bit of a while.
Handy little tip again for quick sections.
I have seen others on YT use similar for forming beads in floor and firewall panels using a rounded end chisel shaft. and a steel or Hardwood form plate with the depression.
So versatile.
Thank you and yes I’ve only just touched on it’s usefulness 👍
Awesome to see you again Trev!! I hope things improve for you guys soon, seems as though things are going a bit sideways all over the place....
Thank you 👍
Fantastic tips as always, salvaging angle iron from a old bed frame? What a terrific idea....
Hey thanks 😊
Good to see you doing video Trev, these hammer heads can do some work, hope you and family the very best.
Thanks, you too! 👍
Great to see you are well keep watching your old van videos great videos and what better than two angle irons that's how I bend my metal so useful I had plans to make one should have another lock down to have time Ja,ja( noooo chance) and just realized while you held the air chisel at the end....... That you would make a great James Bond. Ji,ji,ji look forward to see more of your expertize in the future keep well
Thanks 👍I appreciate that 🤩
Trevor it's great to see you. I always enjoy your videos. This one is a great example of helping us with options. See you again. And yes the UK is in a shit storm. Here in Canada we're heading into a major economic recession. This reason is just one reason for us to be able to work in our little or big shops and keep faith.
It’s crap isn’t it! Unfortunately the powers that be are detached from the reality of ordinary people. Keep your chin up 👍
Trev, I'd love to spend a few weeks with you learning the craft. Your skills are absolutely amazing! I've just started learning how to tig weld, fabrication side next.
Thank you 👍
Yeah that was a good a good demonstration I like that
Thank you 😊
Wow, that's a great idea. Never knew about this, but then I haven't a air hammer. But who needs a break right!!
Thank you 👍
That makes a lot more noise than my sheet metal brake 😝
Great solution, especially for boxed corners where a normal brake won't work and box brakes are $$$.
Hey thanks 😊
Brilliant!
Thanks 😊
Good video - I didn't know the "proper" use and I'll have a couple of ball joint tapers to release shortly 🙂👍🙂
Works unbelievably well. I held a lever under the lower arm and gave the hub a short blast and the ball joint popped right out and it was solid! Thanks 👍
Hey Trev: Thanks for the idea. I am going to do the same thing using a hand-held planishing hammer. You, sir, are a very talented man.
Hey thanks 😊
Good tip
Hey thanks 😊
Trev, excellent demonstration showing how useful inexpensive tools and tooling can be!
Hey thanks Uncle Ron your comment as always extremely appreciated 🤩🤩
Brilliant !!
Thank you 👍
Good to see a new vid from you Trev! Had never thought of using an air chisel like that, will have to keep it in mind for future projects.
So you had a little bit of rust on a sill and that was enough to fail the MOT test? I've heard that MOT tests over there are really strict. Over here in the US the majority of states don't require ANY annual auto safety inspections, believe it or not!
Yep this is the uk, we like plenty of legislation and red tape! Bizarrely you don’t need an mot on a vehicle over 50 years old 🤣
Looking forward to be seeing hammer forming videos from you . Thank You
Thanks the possibilities are far reaching 👍
I have a similar tool good idea.
So, bending tin inverse is a thing also in other people's workshops .... interesting. 😄
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 👍
Well it's great to hear that I'm not the only one who bends stuff the wrong way!
Great to see some more content mate. Sorry to hear that things aren't going so well for you over there. Best wishes to you and Birdie 😎
Thanks Sean I appreciate it. Hope you’re well my friend? Cheers Trev 👍
@@trevsblog yes mate, going well over here - thanks. Still building this Mini!
I use my aircraft air rivet hammer to do the same as the anvils are nice and smooth already. It's Ok I use one that's already beat up... It's basically the same tool but it's allot easier to tease the trigger for better control. Works great on door skins too. As for the box brake I look at it every time I'm at one of our tool stores and can't justify buying one or the large amount of space it takes up. I still kick myself for not buying a 48" box brake for $100 locally that was new but out of the box...
100 dollars good grief that’s an absolute bargain. The cheapest Chinese one I can find is nearly £1000! Cheers Trev 👍
@@trevsblog Yeah it was bad timing on that deal. They run around $800 ish for a 48" and $380 for a 24". The store here had the 48 on clearance 2 years ago for $350 and I still passed it up. They were freeing up inventory space but at that time it was $500 new. Grr inflation... I'd bring one over and save you a few $ but I think it might be a hare heavy to bring as checked luggage..
Great tip, remember lots of us haven't a clue!!
Crisp line, I have similar air chisel used for bearings ect, real world I find not amazing, however if I would replace would be something else, I lend a Chicago pneumatics (CP logo'd no affiliation!) Way less vibration and so much more power without noticing, knocks seized bearings with ease 😏😁
Great video Trev, I'm happy with short simple tips
Yes agreed CP stuff is excellent 👌🏻
That's a great use for an air hammer. I'm a mechanic, so I have a few air hammers and those flat bits as well. Tennis elbow, Ugh! I had minor tears in my elbow tendos from repeatative mechanic work. I had therapy sessions to repair it and avoid surgery. What worked for me were theraputty, resistence bands, hand twist exercise bars, and Granston tools. The Graston tool especially, because it massaged the area with a scraping technique which also broke the internal scar tissue allowing it to heal. I used stationary exercise bike with my arms to warm the muscles (10 min.) Then did various exercises. Each session ended with a 10 minute ice pack, or graston tool scraping.
Hey thanks for the advice much appreciated 👍
Great bit of advice.
Would work well if you needed to do a fold longer than a folder if you had six foot of angle and a load of clamps.
Lovely that you end with thoughts for everyone out there.
Yes precisely, you can make a fold any length you like and what’s more that fold doesn’t have to be in a straight line, it could have cutouts and curves etc. extremely versatile. Thanks Trev 👍
thank you
Thank you too 👍
Air Hammers are a great tool for planishing compound curves in a mold to get a part that would be impossible to create any other way. Commonly used to create aircraft skin components. A simple 90 degree bend can be accomplished with a hammer. Yeah, I like dragging out tools I really use only for the sake of putting oil through the tool.
Thanks for the info!
Cool man!
Thank you 😊
Trev, have a look around for an Aircraft Rivet Gun, Far more control then the Sealey chisel.
They are rated in sizes from 2X to 6X, for what you are doing a 3 or 4x would be fine.
I use a 4x for hammer form work, with steel.
Hey thanks 😊
Thanks for the instructional video. I have a project that will come in handy for.
As for your tennis and golfers elbow I was wondering if you have ever heard of using DMSO? It's a liniment used mostly on farm animals and pets. I think most of us are some form of animal or another. I've used it on several occasions over the years with great success of pain relief for the treatment of tendonitis and sprains. I learned about it through a veterinarian girlfriend. I've recommended it to friends over the years and they've had great success also. Do your own thorough research.
Thanks again for the videos they're greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the information! Very much appreciated 👍
Really good to see you again Trev. If I were your MOT guy I'd fail you every time if it meant you making more videos'. Maybe that's his agenda too. 😅
I haven't forgotten that Bedford van brochure I promised you. I just can't seem to find where I placed it. My wife has this terrible affliction to "tidy me up" wherever I put things. I've a suspicion it might be in the loft. But I will get it to you. Regards Tony.
No worries about that brochure Tony. Good to hear from you! All the very best Trevor 👍
I suffered from golfers and tennis elbow along with carpal tunnel issues. I used a Powerball and after a week the symptoms started improving to the point that now I generally don't have any problems - if I do, a few days of Powerball sort it. If you get one don't go for maximum speed. 10 seconds one rotation and the 10 seconds the other way, then swap hands several times, twice a day.
Thanks for the tip, worth a try definitely 👍
You're back!
I never left really… but I’m certainly intending on doing more regular uploads. 👍
@@trevsblog I totally understand, making content is hard and you don't want to repeat yourself. We just love seeing your work!
@@SkaterStimm I have a ton of new material that I could produce, this will take a lot of work and time though. My main problem has been running my catering business which has to be honest taken over my life. Things are going to change 👍
