Great to have you back Trev. I finally have an understanding of how heat distortion works and I'm as thick as. Your demonstration and explanation was lifetime educator grade. Thanks!
Trank you so much Trev, that was enlightening. After tinkering around with cars for over thirty years (about 15 year as a profession) I finale understood this damn shrinking issue! Whoopieee!!!
I would be so much cooler if I was British - but anyway.....dedication to true craftsmanship is a diminishing attribute among humans - we must support those who resist that sad trend. Great video Trev, nice to meet you.
i put my filler rods in the freezer before welding........................... you could also use the hammer off technique after welding up a panel, give the hammer to the apprentice to fix it and bugger off down the pub. Great vid Trev
Hi Trev. Many many thanks for this and your other videos. It is totally making sense and will help me to restore my 1957 Triumph TR3. Kind regards from Holland.
One of the best metal shaping, trick tools channel on youtube. Always a pleasure to watch, so good at explaining and showing thing. So even us not as good at English can understand 🏆
First! Glad to see you back online Trev! This has been long awaited! Great information.. 👍 I am really glad you broke this all down. I can now refer all my non welder friends to this video to better explain heat distortion and how it affects body panels. Amazing video Trev!!
Trev, thank you for putting in a lot of work, teaching a bunch of strangers the tricks of the trade. It is highly appreciated! I certainly learned a lot from this one. Light bulb moment with the bar in the beam, thickening in the heat effected zone.
Hands down the absolute best explanation I’ve heard on this subject! It finally makes sense! Thank you so much for breaking it down so simply and for explaining it so well. You are a helluva teacher, Trev. Keep up the great work, and best of luck on your new business!
Nice demonstration of what is actually happening. I welded a roof in a 33 Ford 2 door sedan. I fitted a roof panel of a 55 Chevy station wagon to fill the roof. I scribed the panel from underneath and then cut it 1/16" oversized. I tacked and hammered all the way around to keep the right tightness and up and down of the panel. I then Tig welded the back in one pass so that my heat affected zone was even. The high crown held it very stable. I welded the front the same way but being low crown the heat caused the panel to buckle about 2/3 of the way across. After it cooled I was able to just push it back up and tap the weld a bit to hold the shape. I welded both sides the same way without stopping except to grab another rod but never let it cool. A little grinding and planishing brought it to the point of very little filler. By allowing for the shrinkage by adding to the panel and just letting it shrink I reduced the amount of work to get it back into shape at the end.
Great to see you Kiddo , that description was a belter ,you showed us how to do it ,now you showed us why we do it.I always find it easier to understand something when I know why I am doing it . My lamps are going as well , a real mother welding with glasses on ,bang my head more than ever , now I have more time than ever getting too knackered to do it.That's the way the Big Ball bounces eh . Great to hear the Business is going well and more importantly you're enjoying it . Keep rolling with the punches .
Trev that was a terrific explanation I was watching a Gene Winfield video where he would spot weld then Hammer and Dolly the hot weld and it made no sense to me but now it does thanks to your explanation.
Excellent demonstration on the square stock. I’m better now at fixing heat distortion but much further to go. Blew my son mind on blow lamp shrinking, “oil can” on a door skin. Thanks much.
Great demo Trev I was surprised how much shorter that bar got. I will be putting all your knowledge in to good use when I weld the door on my car thanks good to see your back.
I'm very happy to see you again Trev! You are without a doubt one of the best sheet metal workers I know who can explain in such a clear and simple way. thank you.
Thanks for all the explanations Trev, enjoying my coffee and crossiant(sp) this Sun am. Loved the intro with the young protege, always keeping it light and cheerful. All the best to you , the Baking Bird and followers. You've been missed, can you tell?
Good afternoon Trev, it sure is good to hear from you. Hoped you didn't forget the people that really benefit from your expertise and creative craftsmanship. Your tig welding amazes me. So pretty and flat and it looks like stacked small dimes. Can't wait for more. Take care and good luck.
It happens to be that I like reverb. In perticular plate reverb. So I was quiet pleased with the reverb added to your voice from this sheet of metal before welding - the shorter reflections after and perticularily the smoother reverb trails after planishing it out. All I wanted to express is - I Loved it!
MY late father was taught by English pro restorers. Did amazing work on cars. Never once used a MIG welder on a vehicle. All gas. He could cut a door panel through the middle horizontally with hand sheers and weld a new piece in with gas welder and NO rod.
Good to see you back. I did see a part animated by one of the American welder manufacturers from around the war about heat distortion which made the same points. Quite interesting to see you demonstrate that.
It's about time you turned up Trev, as usual, a great video, now I get it I couldn't work out if it was stretched or it was shrunk thanks and hope to see more of you.
Good to see ya back,very good information on expansion and contraction, the key word here is patience, to many times I have welded everything first and then tried to chase the high and low spots, which as you said trev it doesn't work to well, thanks for this vidio
This is the best explanation of what is going on with welding sheet metal. Thank you for helping me understand what is happening.
He's Back! This needs a good coffee to celebrate - It can only be good.
Welcome back Trev! You’ve been missed buddy!
This kind of presentation is what happens in a college classroom. Thanks, Trev! God bless and best wishes for your coffee van venture.
This was worth waiting for. In half an hour I learned more about heat shrinking than I have learned in my entire life. You are a superb teacher Trev.
Same here, excellent explanation!
Great to have you back Trev. I finally have an understanding of how heat distortion works and I'm as thick as. Your demonstration and explanation was lifetime educator grade. Thanks!

Fantastic #50! Best video yet in so many ways! Well worth the wait!
Watched heaps of welding vids and never seen such a good explanation for heat distortion, thanks
It is great to get to watch your videos again. Please keep up the good work. I get sooo much out of your work
Best explanation and demonstration of heat distortion I have seen!
i put my filler rods in the freezer before welding...........................
you could also use the hammer off technique after welding up a panel,
give the hammer to the apprentice to fix it and bugger off down the pub.
Great vid Trev
It all sounds so much smarter when he says it. Thank you.
Hi Trev. Many many thanks for this and your other videos. It is totally making sense and will help me to restore my 1957 Triumph TR3. Kind regards from Holland.
Thanks for taking the time, very clear. It also explains how shrinking discs work.
Thanks Trev! Its now clear as daylight!

Thanks for the great explanation of heat shrinking. I now know that I need to correct sooner than later.

Good to see you back. Miss Bird's treats would be hard to escape from.
Nicely done video my friend, thoroughly enjoyed the explanation and application
Good to see you again Trev

Congratulations on a very well thought out and clear demonstration, Good luck with the business!
Excellent demonstration on the square stock. I’m better now at fixing heat distortion but much further to go. Blew my son mind on blow lamp shrinking, “oil can” on a door skin. Thanks much.
