I like how Ron smiles a lot in his videos. It makes it really wholesome.
Thanks!
@@RonCovell you are a creative thinker your ability to recreate the whole Bomber seat 💺 is amazing iam happy that I have found you on TH-cam videos you make many people who are not into metal shaping to look into this even further have an excellent Saturday afternoon bye from 🇨🇦 #YSW respect back to you Ron Covell you are an intelligent Metal Master
he's adorable
Kind of a Bob Ross for sheet metal, in a very positive way.
I'm always impressed at how you make such complex objects using simple forms, like when you make the templates and then the wood parts, all of that to bend the metal to the perfect form. It's really awesome!
Thank you very much!
My daughter wants to video knitting and asked me what I like in builder/maker videos. I will show her this, a perfect example of basic filmmaking skills and snappy editing making a complicated task easy to understand.
Also, I now know how to make a basic bomber seat.
I sincerely wish you both the best, in your respective areas of interest!
Watching you effortlessly bend metal to your will, while simultaneously educating the rest of us in such a calm and professional manner is very soothing. I really enjoy your videos, you have a knack for making the seemingly impossible, possible, for all of us laymen out there 👍 Thank you for sharing!
Wow, thank you!
Well said, RGL!
I'm sure most of the viewers, myself included, think the same.
Great Video! When I woke up this morning I didn't think I was going to become smarter today, but I did. Thank you Ron!
Excellent!
We're honored your posting
I appreciate that!
Really great video Ron! I love that you have taken the bomber seat project and used it as a vehicle to show very different fabrication processes while still building clean and beautiful parts. Being able to build a beautiful part with a shop full of specialized tooling is great, but distilling that down to a set of simple steps using common tools and simple processes is magic.
Thanks so much, Joe. I got a lot of comments on past videos with people saying they didn't think they could do this kind of work without expensive tools. Now they have no excuse (hah!).
A lot of good tips can be gleaned from this exercise. Not only did you use simple tools but you also used the bare minimum to accomplish an outstanding project. Jere
Thanks so much, Jere!
YOU ARE AN ARTIST INSIDE.
AND A BLESSING TO WATCH.
ALL THE BEST.
Thanks so much!
That's really cool. I appreciate these simple ideas with metal shaping that uses common stuff. I could see some techniques being the same to make a trans tunnel and maybe even the dash I would like to make on my project. Lots of time but not a lot of money. I just picked up my first hammer and dolly set. Can't wait to put it to use!
Welcome to the journey!
High end craftsmanship with simple tools is a rarity on youtube, thank you for this vid
Slim Picken's would have loved this!
Dr. Covell or: How How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bend
I love what you say!
I've learned to slow down and do the extra steps necessary to have a better end product. Thank you Ron!
Learning the proper speed is actually quite important. You can ruin a lot of stuff by going faster than your control allows.
Thanks Ron again for another great project.
You are very welcome!
The fasteners along the seams, rather than welds, give the seat a sort of industrial aesthetic, which I like very much.
I like that look too. Rivets are often used for this work, but I know that not all of my viewers have a rivet gun - or even an air compressor to drive one!
You are unique 👍🏻 i’m a welder
I learn a lot from your videos
I appreciate it thank you so much 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Lovely.
I just got into sheet metal working at home and a new world of manufacturing opened up 😍
Fantastic!
Thank you for making this video. I have always been interested in metal work and finally have time to experiment. I enjoyed how you made it simple for the person with limited tools to make this.
Hey, that's great! I hope you have a great success with this project!
At the beginning of every video I can't imagine how he's going to pull it off, but by the end I almost feel like I could do it myself!
Well, you probably CAN do it yourself!
Oh, look at Ron with his fancy fine tooth blade on his jig saw :D
Thank you for making this video, it looks quite approachable this way.
You're very welcome!
Whenever I watch your videos, first thing I do is hit that thumbs up. I already know it’s going to be good
Thanks - as I'm sure you know, lots of 'thumbs-up' helps the TH-cam algorithm to steer more people my way.
@@RonCovell definitely. The more people I can steer your way, the better. I look forward to taking a class with you as well
I actually made myself a bomber seat for use whilst working in the garage it’s great for sitting and pondering next move or thinking of solutions to problems it was your video that inspired me to do it. Thanks Ron 👍👍
That's great to hear! I have a favorite 'thinking stool' myself, although it's not a bomber seat.
You are the Bob Ross of metal working. You show how to create elegance with simple tools and techniques. And, like Bob, your voice is so soothing. Thank you! I suspect you work very hard to make it look easy.
Thanks - I take that as a high compliment!
Absolute sorcery Ron!!!!! Good god this was beyond excellent!!!!!! I will be doing one of these with my grandson! Thank you!
I hope the two of you have a grand time together!
Thanks Ron for sharing a simple version of the seat.
You are very welcome!
More than the sum of its parts, sheet steel, button head screws and nuts and some edge strip. Elegant functional and comfortable! Just beautiful! 👍👍✊✌
Thanks so much!
Thank you Ron, great discussion/demonstration/build…..very subtle (pro) 🧐 tip, don’t fight it 🤬,clamp it 👍
Yes, clamps are good!
If anyone looked up "making it look easy", there would be a picture of Mr. Ron. A brilliant mind with a bright and happy countenance. Thank you sir for the best 20 minutes of the week.
Wow - that's high praise indeed!
Such a simple but elegant design.
Thanks for sharing Ron.
You are very welcome!
Great vlog, thank you for sharing your beautiful vlog with us. Ron, this vlog needs a small booklet describing the steps to building this great project. Or better yet, put a lot of your tips in a book!!!
Maybe someday I'll do a book, but the videos seem more interesting to me right now.
Fantastic video! Thank you very much.
Now that's a bomber seat, that I could try to build on my garage.
I hope you do!
Absolutely a master of your trade Ron, not to mention so humble. I would love to see your process of building a vintage radiator shell. To me a very hard process which I would imagine to be fairly easy for yourself. Please please please. John
There is an article online that shows me making a radiator shell:

I feel like watching a life time experience of metal fabricator, thx for sharing. Hope i can restore my old peogeot seat with a bomber seat :D
I hope you can, and will!
Bob Ross of sheet metal
There are very few things as satisfying as seeing a Master working and also sharing his experience in such a didactic way.
Thanks a lot
My pleasure!
These seats are true masterpieces.
Maybe you can make some for yourself!
@@RonCovell With talent and experience... maybe. Seriously, your creative demonstrations are for me real artistic performances with real power and not stuffs that comes out of a 3D printer or with a horrible finition with mold join.
I really like this video!!! The way you explain things helps someone with less experience.
Thanks!
Ron, you’re like Bob Ross of Metal Bending.
Thanks for the very nice compliment!
i have watch a few videos about making a bomber seat. This is the best tutorial ever. Its pefect. Thanky you
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Love how you showcase formwork and what is possible with even modest tools.
Very nice design and finish.
Thank you very much!
Showing how these simple templates and forms that are such excellent tools are made is what makes these videos so high quality teaching material.
I'm so glad you liked them!
Ron is the Bob Ross of metal working!
Thanks for the nice compliment!
I love your videos, Ron. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I can't imagine a chain of events that would ever lead to me needing to build something like this, but I will NEVER miss one of your videos.
Wow, thanks
Simple tools but expert technique! Thank you very much Ron!
You are very welcome!
As just a guy who thinks this is neat with little sheet metal experience, I really appreciate these “limited tooling” videos for techniques I can use, Thanks a lot Ron!
Thanks for watching!
Craftsmanship at its finest ! Great video sir
Wow, thanks!
i got a tractor in my head this seat is perfect for. i love you Ron your the best
Thanks 👍
The smile on your face reveals your passion for the craft. A master at work. I love your videos, they are truly inspiring for me as a (very) hobbyist motorcycle builder.
Thanks so much 😊
Ron, you're a legend. I'm still amazed with the easyness you work, no hussle, no anger... =) A master.
Why get angry - it's only metal!
Thanks Ron, great information to share! Always enjoy learning from you! An older student from your class in New Paltz NY in the 90's
Hey, thanks for 'chiming-in'! That was one of the few workshops I gave in a working space with a dirt floor!
Thanks Ron you are always awesome and a wonderfull smart person. You made this bomber seat not only using a simple jig, but I can also see that you used affordable inexpensive tools that encoursges many of us afford to build it. Thanks for all your concern and teaching.
I'm glad you liked it!
I did enjoy that. Particularly useful tips for curved edges.
Glad it was helpful!
I don't watch this channel enough. You are an excellent teacher. I'm glad that you "dumbed it down" on this latest version. That is not a bad thing in any way, it makes me believe that's something I can actually do at home and as a student. Thank you.
Don't be afraid - dive right in!
It really couldn't get simpler than this. I really appreciate the time and effort you've put into making this version of the bomber seat. I'll have to give it a try sometime. Thanks again and take care.
I hope you do try it!
Thank you Mr Covell for sharing this. I'm dreaming about making one chair for my desk, but now I'll make some more for my living room too ☺️
Merci encore et bonne soirée !
This is a great demonstration!
I was really stumped on how I was going to build the back seats for my car. After seeing this I know have a great base to start from! Thank you so much for teaching!
Fantastic!
Awesome video Ron! My father and I love your videos. He recently starting collecting metal working tools after watching your stuff 👍🏻👍🏻
That is awesome!
Thank you again for these great captions. Love your metal problem solving as always.
Glad you like them!
Ron, glad you used a countersink, there is nothing more painful than a burr on the backside. Yet again another faultless video.
My thanks 👍
Yep - nobody likes a burr in the backside!
Thanks so much for putting these videos out! I love seeing your approach to problem solving each step of the process.
Thanks so much!
I'm am definitely going to try this on my project car with some tweaks. What a great video
Go for it!
Beautiful. Can’t wait to see what you come up with the edges. This was very inspirational. Thank you 🙏
You are so welcome!
Awesome job Ron and with minimum tools.
Thanks, Randy 👍
Must be one of the best instructional video I have ever watched. I'm glad, that you took the time to show us how you can replace lots of expensive tools - by just using pure ingenuity. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Very informative video Ron, Love that you used simple tools too show that it can be done easily.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you Mr.Ron. you make it so simple
I'm glad you liked this video. Not everything has to be complicated!
One thing I've done when cutting thin sheet metal is clamp it to a piece of sacrificial wood when cutting it. It dampens the vibrations and helps cut down the noise a bit.
Ron, you always make this look easy! Great work, as always.
That's a good idea!
I'll be building these in my new workshop next summer!
Thank you Ron for breaking down complex fabrication into something super simple. I am surprised on how elaborate shapes you can fabricate using only a table, a handful of clamps, and a couple of bending and shaping forms and super simple tools. Cudeaus to finding simple solutions to complex problems ! :)
Yes, it doesn't take a lot of fancy tools to make something cool!
great work sir - always pleased to see what your making Ron
Thanks!
Thanks man. Always enjoy your videos. Your a modern day Master.
I appreciate that!
Hi Ron It's always refreshing to see the collaboration with other craftsman. The metal repairman and builders are in a class of their own and knowing you can learn from men like yourself and other I have seen on the TH-cam series . Thanks for the confidence.
Thanks 👍
Hi Ron after seeing your production of the seat and by the way you made it look simple , Now for the question Do you think that seat would be a road worthy /usable to install in a daily driver provided cushion and mounting hardware?
The edges of the first version of the seat have a little flex to them. If the seat is mounted with sufficient support on the edges and back, it would certainly be fine for a daily driver. I'm close to finishing the video where I show a way to reinforce the sides so simpler mounts could be used.
@@RonCovell Ill be looking Thanks again Dan R.
Wow! I learn something from every one of your vids! Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Another very informative video packed full of great techniques. Thanks Ron!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Simpliy stunning 😉 Definitely looking forward to the next installment. All the best to you Ron.
Thanks, you too!
I’ve admired your work for years. Thanks for the great videos! You are a true Master of your craft.
Wow, thank you!
another fantastic video! thanks for sharing your knowledge
My pleasure!
fantastic work! learnt a few new things as usual from you! thankyou!
Awe man! You said you were going to make this without using any specialized tools but I can clearly see the label right there on the front of it! I've looked everywhere trying to find one for myself but to no avail. If anyone knows where I can find one of these versatile, super awesome, must have Covell metal formers, I'd greatly appreciate it. Cool seat at any rate Mr Ron. 😎👍
I guess I should start cloning myself! Glad you liked it!
@@RonCovell oh no that would be too much awesomeness for this world! And I know I wouldn't be able to afford one anyway, then we'd start seeing a cheap Chinese knockoff called the Ron Coverr ! 🙃
LOL! So, you're calling Ron Covell a tool? I beg to disagree, Ron's a prince for sharing his methods with us!!
Love all your videos, looking forward to the next one!!!!
More to come, for sure!
I love watching you work, you always make it look so easy.
Thanks so much 😊
You sir are great I love your videos !
Glad you like them, and there are more to come!
I love creative techniques and methods, than you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Man you make it seem so easy Ron
Once you learn how, it isn't too hard.
Fantastic as always. cheers for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very awesome seats... Great video, Ron! You and Craig are both my heroes, and great guys!
Wow, thanks!
Very Nice!! Going to look up the other vids.
Please do!
You sir are AMAZING
I appreciate that!
Seriously impressive work, thank you for this!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The mark of a great instructional video is to be left feeling you could make the item. I have very limited metal working skills, but I felt that even I could attempt this project. We’ll done Ron. Many thanks.
Give it a go - you'll probably have a success!
@@RonCovell I’m really tempted. In fact I can resist anything…… except temptation.
Very cool!
Super, love that blue tape trick
Glad you enjoyed it!
good work as always Mr. Covell thanks for the tutorial videos
Glad you like them!
Thanks Ron. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You make this look so easy :D thankyou for the videos, I always enjoy them.
I'm very glad you enjoyed the video. More to come, I promise!
Thanks! Awesome job!
Thank you too!
thank you for sharing this! can't wait for the next video!! cheers!
More to come!
Ron: “I hope you enjoyed this video.”
Me: “Every second of it, sir. Thank you.”
I'm SO glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! I really enjoyed watching it and look forward to seeing more. Cheers
You bet!
Great tutorial. And your skills are amazing. Thank's for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
