  • On this episode of Make It Kustom, I show you how to make an easy dimple die tool step by step. Anyone can do this at home with a grinder and a welder. I have used dimple dies in the past for the structural bracing on the Model A roadster project.

Great camera work and editing cannot be overlooked. Thank you Karl and Kristina... you bring a smile to many faces when they see a Make It Kustom video has been published. Cheers Mike!

      If you can ever do without you metal maid keeping your shop clean I could use her service. I expect a price break though, she can leave her jewellers loop at home. No Karl, I know you don't do it.

      if you put the flange piece that youre going to grind on to the shaft and start grinding it will begin to spin....now its - its own lathe!
      get her spinning and hold your grinder hand steady .
      the threaded rod allows you to double nut/lock the flanged piece from jumping up / around.
      once youve done it for a few minutes it all makes sense.
      the grinder spins the piece and grinds all at the same time and because power is lost to spinning the grinding doesnt dig in very deep....
      you could also weld first and put it in a drill then mount the drill in a vise.
      the cool part about making your own is you can make both pieces with steps in diameter to do 2 different hole sizes in 1 tool or add
      a crease into the flange/dimple
      make diamond or star or square etc dimple dies.
      time is cheap when its mine for me....lol

      @@kazzTrismus There is another aspect that can be brought in here. make the the bottom and top piece to fit perfectly into one another without any clearance for the material thickness you want to dimple. ie. zero clearance. then make a few washers, each washer to be the thickness of the various sizes of plate you want to dimple. Then you just insert the relevant washer to match the material you want to punch. The washer will give you the relevant clearance needed.

    In regards to the scarcity of 19 gauge sheet metal:
    Wray Schelin mentioned finding a supplier for 19 gauge sheet metal and was able to stock up on the stuff. His video was about 8 months ago titled, Metal Shaping for Beginners: Shrinking With a Helve Hammer.
    I recall you mentioned the 19 gauge shortage in a recent video I watched and several other TH-cam builders have found the same shortage in their areas. A place just outside of Langley was cold rolling 18ga to 19ga for a restoration that was very fussy. Their rollers were capable of doing 30 inch but their age showed some distortion at the edges so 24 inch was settled on as the max width.
    The hydraulic roller press was apparently from one of Boeing's auctions in Washington state. At one of their auctions I ended up with a project to rebuild a hot dimpler for aerodynamic aircraft riveting. Industrial auctions can be interesting with crazy expensive mixed in with nearly free deals. A $100usd hot dimpler was nearly free. Just thought I'd mention that. A great way to bring occasional use equipment into your shop that you normally wouldn't have considered buying.

    I have your exact vice, right down the missing pipe jaws. It's an awesome bit of kit, and it was cheap. I bought mine over 40 years ago and it must have travelled over 1 million kilometres around and across Australia within me in the back of my vehicles. Yours is the only other one that I have seen. Love your content. Greg

    great video ....Being a retired electrical contractor I had several knock out punch set laying around sooo I took one set and had the back side of the cutters beveled to 45 degrees. Now I take one punch and knock out the hole and then take the next size up and use the back beveled side of the die to make the dimple....a two step process but cheaper than going out and buying the one step dies and I have a set from about 7/8" to 2 1/2" dimple dies.....like making your tools

    Another great tool that when you need it you really need it.
    Our original ones, 3" dia., were made out of dried Oak. Like you said you use what you have, everyone had different raw materials and tools to make your tools.
    Sometimes it hurts watching you as Being a retires machinist I'm use to all the big boy tools like mills, lathes, presses, benders, surface grinders and all.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I'm also a young resourceful person who works metal, I just discovered your channel and seriously… wow! you work well and you have extremely talented ,I love the fact that you explain the tools and that despite all your equipment you force yourself to use conventional tools. I'm going to say something you probably haven't heard yet, but you speak well, we understand perfectly what you're saying, I'm French so I don't always understand how English speakers speak.

    I've always had a fondness for dimple died panels. Looking at the prices for premade dies has always kept me away. I had never even thought about making my own so cheap and effectively. Thanks for sharing!

    How good is this video. I have always thought it would be nice to have a set of dimple dies but could never justify the cost for the limited amount of use that they would get. LOL, guess that's been solved. Thanks for sharing.
