Your videos are a great classroom session. I appreciate your British humor. Must be the trace of English ancestry I have. The nice part of your videos is that you repeat information with just a couple mouse clicks. Cheers from Ohio to Trev and all viewers.
This is brilliant. I must have watched it 10 times already. Trying to make my own version based on this. Thank you for excellent break down and explanation, as usual. ISH, South Africa
Trev, believe me mate, you are a real star! I love all the vids, and like others say, you have inspired me to carry on with my project which I was pretty much stalled with. You are super-skilled and do a fantastic job.
There is a similar tool marketed to sheet metal workers making ductwork to crimp the ends of ducts so one will fit inside the other. I made one using Visegrip brand locking pliers. The double fulcrum action of the Vise grip reduces the amount of force to close so it is easy to make 2 or 3 crimps at a time. Also, the adjustable closing action makes it simple to make consistent tucks or crimps.
Another great lesson. You should market that shrinking plier. Attached to your Coffee Maker’s Containment Sphere is the Receptor Antenna, which collects artron energy using chronon transduction. Alternately, you can run it on LPG.
Hello Gerard - possibly a bit colder in TAS than here in GEELONG where I am at the moment today and not as WARM and SUNNY as where I was up in QLD a couple of weeks ago - HA - bring on SUMMER - but at least we do not have to suffer ice//snow as poor Trev and others do - they must be a tougher breed - HA. HA - not sure I could survive a cold concrete floor in such a location - bad enough down SOUTH here.
The coffee machine is run on gas LPG. Love your vids, it’s given me the confidence to have a crack at a very rusty Toyota Landcruiser roof which I never would have tackled if it wasn’t for your inspirational approach to your craft and it’s dissemination, your a good one Trev keep up the good work 👌👍🍻
Mark. Bradshaw he makes it look so simple and love the explanations! I hear ya, he’s motivation for me for sure! I only have simple tools and Trev always delivers using simple tools! Love that about this channel
You will be using lpg gas for the coffee machine. Thanks again trev another excellent video. I have had a car in my possion for 20 years that I’ve always said I would restore and your blog has inspired me to get started on it thanks again for all your inspiration.
Wow, what another great video Trev!! Your adapted tool has given me a great way to use a weird pair of pliers my Dad had for as long as I can remember and neither of us could ever come up with a way to use them properly, then I see this video and there is the answer!!!!!! Only took around 40 years or so but now I know exactly what to use them for....!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your efforts making these videos, it is really appreciated
Trev you're a genius, thanks for the great tip for tucking metal with a slate cutter. I believe your coffee machine will work off a portable gas tank, mounted in your van.
Thanks Trev. I managed to knock out some dings in my box truck turned tiny home project following tips from one of your previous videos. I'd say your radically complicated LPG tank locker is pretty unique.
It's a nice easy to understand method. I am not in the trade now, but I did my apprenticeship shrinking and stretching complicated shapes by hand and rubber wheel , sand bag or powered rubber bumper and the English wheel. The most effective was to crease the metal by hand and then close the crease by hammering with a mallet. Softening using heat. It's possible to shape flat sheets into very complicated shapes by hand. My father was a master of this trade and I learnt a lot from him.
For the Coffee machine to operate off grid Large Battery attached to a converter will operate Your Machine in ac mode presto we have Coffees love your Demos and your smile keep it up. Pete.
Your channel is the greatest TH-cam channel. Each week I anxiously await the release of your newest knowledge package. Thank you. I urge all who view your videos to let the commercials run completely. This is a simple way to support your TH-cam channel. Your coffee machine is powered by LP gas.
great tutorial again Trev ....thank you for spending all that time creating and editing it for us to benefit for free. I know that You know how much we appreciate it. I did watch the Bedford video where you constructed the housing for the LPG bottles and explained how it was going to function but I see someone didn't listen to instructions about using the link to reply and posted the answer on here for everyone to see doh! so i'm going to say that you were thinking about sending up a Helium balloon with a Lighting catcher to run the coffee machine off and store the electricity in an accumulator lol ....We all know that these shows and events are held on stormy days don't we
A wow is in order and I'm not talking about your shirt them pliers you made for shrinking are just a merit just brilliant and easy you make it look keep up the good work matey and you have good taste en cervesa.
Great video Trev. More great info and tips on how to do a great job like you always do ! Your coffee machine will be run on super quiet LPG. Cheers Jeff.
Excellent work and with simple tools. Keep up the good work Trev! Probably my favortite panel beating channel. I really like the hammer so I'll be answering your question. You will be powering you coffee machine off grid with gas most likely propane or some sort of LPG.
Hi Trev, It seems most people think your coffee machine will be powered by LPG but just to be different I'll go out on a limb and say it will be solar powered . Enjoy your videos. You should have been a metal work teacher. Cheers from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Awesome instructions in the way of steel...Has helped me immensely in the way of the morris boot.giggle.Thanks for your help...Love your methods .Keep up the amazing work.....
Impressive!! You make it look so simple. I finally have a decent understanding of "shrinking" metal after watching this video along with your previous vids.......Coffee machine power source is LPG
Watch any of your videos and it’s obvious you’re cooking on gas. And you’re running the coffee machine on gas of course. Let’s hope I win this last one, or I’ll have to buy one next week. Cheers Trev, thanks for all the effort you put in to your videos!
Thanks for the great advice Trev. A far better solution to shrinking a flange than a shrinking hammer or a shrinking dolly. I have tried using several of these over the years and never got results that were close to pleasing. I have reground them back to useable smooth hammers and dollies.
Andrew Wilson thanks Andrew, the way I view shrinking hammers dollies and files is they only shrink when you have a dished profile. The teeth grip on contact either side of the dish so as the dish is straightened out it also compresses the material along its length. I have never had any other success shrinking with these tools. If I metal finish with my toothed bumping file it rarely stretches but if I switch to my smooth file or a planishing hammer I find it’s more prone to stretching. Cheers Trev 👍
Thanks Trev, very handy tool you made there. might have to make one myself. You will have the coffee machine running on LPG. Cant wait to see this van completed!
So glad you thought of examining the bottle cap while everyone else was doodling along! Your ideas are so interesting and entertaining to see. Then you add the theory behind it and it all comes together. You have great intuition and real talent that is so natural . Lovely work Trev!! Can’t wait to see you build the Ferrari from shhet metal and your planishing hammer :)
Good Morning from the U.S. This is a great video. Really informative. Thanks for the instruction on how to remove tuks in a metal edge. I have this very problem on an upper radiator support on my project car. I think the previous owner backed over a post or stump and hooked the bottom of the support and bent it forward which caused the top to compress a little which put 4 or 5 small tucs in the top edge. this video will help me to remove them without having to replace the entire support.
LPG powered coffee machine. Loved the amount of work you put into that with the gas box & all. Cushty! 👌👍 Great video, as always, Trev. Informative, educational & instructive. Love your cheerful & lightheartedness "can-do" attitude. Look forward to the next one. Best wishes. 👏✊✌
Great explanation Trev. I have learned a lot watching your vids. Thanks. I use the term gathering in place of shrinking, it helps me understand the way metal works a bit easier.
Love the teaching style thanks Trev. Knowledge plus experience is always a great combo. The sprinkle of intervention doesn’t go amiss either 🤓 I think you have fitted an oversized alternator and are running the expresso on a inverter. Cheers
You will probably use a dc to ac inverter to power the coffee machine, hammer pls , awesome explanation and design for the tool . Adapting a tool like that is a really effective way to end up with a high quality one off tool for not too much money, smart man.
Most probably don't notice the geometry lesson they're getting in your videos :) Another awesome lesson. I don't know what you're using, but you really need a Flux Capacitor! (Lp gas).
Trev- Thank you for your teaching efforts. Your methods of explaining what is happening and when are spot on and very understandable. I do believe that the coffee maker will be powered by LPG. I remember all the hoops you had to go through to install the gas tank and the nest it will live in. Charlie
They are already for sale. Unfortunately, they are incorrectly described in the video. They are not a tile-cutting tool but a SLATE cutting tool or slate cutter. Tubela used to make them and many are available second hand. Most common new ones now are by Silverline. The ductwork pliers can be found in UK as 'Kennedy 5-blade pipe crimper' (Zoro/Cromwell).
Gas for the coffeeeeeeeeeee machine. Great tool you have made, I worked with a body guy who made his own tool for putting a step in a panel from an old pair of mole grips. We use to call him professor pat pending!!!!
Yet another great video , very informative with a problem that a lot of people can relate to The idea of repurposing tile cutters is brilliant 👍 a simple idea for a very annoying problem The answer is LPG gas Cheers Davie campbell
Hi Trev, Those pliers are in fact slate cutters and were the right cutters for the job you did on your sons little job. you fitted slates not tiles. cheers
Hi trev you’re coffee machine is run on a lpg - gas bottle, great video ,can’t wait to see your Bedford ca finished,my auntie & uncle had two back in the day for there milk & egg round ...mike 👍

Great video Trev the plasticine analogy made the handling of metal much more intuitive.
I always thought a hardwood worked better for shrinking than a metal, but Trev is the man
Another great lesson. You should market that shrinking plier.

Thanks 😊
Beautiful work Trev! I love your sense of humor!

Hi Trev, another great video. Thanks. The coffee machine is LPG powered.
Propane powered coffee machine sounds awesome. :-)
Great tips and techniques as always! Looking forward to seeing the LPG powered coffee maker in action when the fantastic van is finished.
Thanks Trev love your work

Good job Trev. Now I'm gonna have to make me a set of those crimppers to put on the shelf
Trev = top good man. cheers for a nother video
Coffee machine will be LPG. Love the work, panel making is a very skilled job.
excellent information many thanks the answer is lpg
Hi Trev, you should look at making and selling those pliers, Great idea.
They are already for sale. Unfortunately, they are incorrectly described in the video. They are not a tile-cutting tool but a SLATE cutting tool or slate cutter. Tubela used to make them and many are available second hand. Most common new ones now are by Silverline.
