I grew up in a bodyshop picking my step dad's brain and not once have I understood "hammer on dolly off"....I'm 34 lol and I understood your wanting it to be a leverage point instead of an avil.....in 5 minutes of the video🤯🤯 you're a heck of a teacher man!
I've watched a lot of body shows here ,and not 1 has even mentioned the ting you get when hammering out dents as you did. Never have they said to stop at that point. Wow I've learned something today ,and I've always said if you learned at least 1 something in a day. You have not wasted a day. Thanks!
That’s awesome to hear Robert! We’re happy to hear you learned something new and find our videos helpful! Have a great day!
Agreed! I excited to try it out, with new knowledge!
You're good with a dolly but you don't know how to use vise grips
@@earlgilbert3970
You tell em big hozz!!
¹😀
Never thought I'd watched an entire video & subscribed to another man hammering metal and actually enjoyed it. #salute
Yes! I'm currently binge watching all of this great content. I've been scavenging flea markets and garage sales for a few years and have come across many tools for metal work.
Not just a great craftsman, you have a real skill in explaining things well, and demonstrating. Without a big ego. You are doing great. Please keep making these videos
Gotta say, I'm learning a lot from your videos and not least of all, how to be a decent human. So knowlegable, yet so humble.
I'm Deaf so the chance of me going to a sheet metal working class isn't in the future so I'm relying on U tube to teach myself. I am so glad i found your channel, you teach and explain in a normal everyday way plus you go into more detail than other channels I've watched. Please keep up the great videos. look forward to them.
Awesome Scott thank you for watching I’m glad that you find the videos helpful we will keep making them!
when Karl talks about the hammer hitting the dolly and makes a ring noise ,, you can also feel that in the dolly .. I have trouble hearing but I am learning metal work .. but it you try it on scrap metal you will learn how it feels ..
The length of a video is not an issue as long as critical information is being taught. Please continue. 👍❤
Will do! Appreciate it
I learn something every time I watch one of ur videos. Thanks
As an older guy with ringing ears, you should be wearing ear plugs. You're still young and you won't know you've damaged your hearing with all that banging until it's too late. Thanks for the video, great work
Thanks so much man and you’re totally right I wasn’t wearing any protection here and I normally do. You definitely won’t see that again
Mid 40's here. I almost always wear hearing protection. My hearing still tests out to around that of somebody in their late teens early twenties. Hearing protection pays off. Eye protection on the other hand. I use it all the time and I still need glasses to read the fine print ;-)
Worked as a machinist making aircraft rivets on cold heading machines back in the 70’s , the shop supplied cotton for our ears back then. Didn’t help to much I guess because I also have considerable ringing and hearing loss. Seems like nowadays my favorite word is WHAT.
@@GeorgeMcKinley. Yeah your ears took a literal beating.
@@MakeItKustom That is definitely good advice. I lost half the hearing in my right ear a short time ago due to someone not closing the inner door at a gun range (before I had put on hearing protection). I lost half my hearing in my left ear due to surgery as a teenager. My hearing is really weird now, left ear hears midrange to high range and the right hears midrange to low range. I have a private pilots license and had to go through extra testing to get my license recently. You don't know what you have until you loose it. Also, I think that eye protection would be a good idea. When we are young e think we are invincible.
I've learned more from this 24 minute video than I ever expected. Great presentation skills.
That’s so great to hear Rob I love it!
Ive learned a lot from watching your videos, you're a great teacher 👊🏿@@MakeItKustom
I don't know exactly how I got here. ...I'm a software developer LOL. ...don't work on cars at all but I was searching on some things about a repair. People are just amazing. This was interesting as hell and I have mad respect for guys who know how to do stuff like this.
It's so nice to see a young man developing old world craftsman skills. Most everyone today would replace it with a new cheaper quality part or smear a shovel full of body filler over it. Good job Dude!
This is an excellent video Karl. The one thing I would suggest is working out the damage more in stages Specifically, if you had done some of the straightening on the sides earlier it probably would have made it easier to get the nose to close up. Some of the length that was taken up by the right side being bent was pulling the front open. I usually work all around a panel a little at a time. That seems to make everything a bit easier and it can ease some of the stress on the metal. Another thing I would mentions is, dents do not only stretch metal, they also cause shrinkage. That's one of the mysteries of dent repair. I have 50 years of experience doing this. I really like your approach. I wish I had some of your energy. Good Job!
Great work fella. A panelbeater myself since Aug 74. That’s a tough repair. Like the sand bag to help the bonnet from bouncing around. Cheers from Perth WA 🦘🇦🇺
Cheers man I appreciate that coming from a guy like you! Thank you so much
This is the man to teach you how to do it properly.
This is such an incredible art. I didn’t know something like this could be fixed.
I've watched this video four or five times over last 18 months and still love it -- I just keep on coming back to review and learn.
Karl you are a magician .... not just with metal but also with your ability to communicate so well - sorry I missed you in Australia recently.
Cheers, Steve!
I really like how you walk through what your thinking as you make the repair. This is really helpful. Great videos!
Thanks so much Randy! Glad you found it helpful!
Hearing protection lest you end up as deaf as I am.
You beat hammers on hammers and wear eve protection, as hardened steel chips.
You are putting together a good channel with valuable content. You have a good pace and clear speaking voice.Thanks.
Thanks so much for input and for watching!! I agree, ear protection is extremely important, and I do typically wear them while working!
I love how knowledgeable you are and how well you explain the dolly work, yet youre completely humble and polite in the comments, and take everyones advice/comments on board. I've learnt a lot from this channel man, thanks so much, and glad to see the old girls still have a guy around that knows how to massage all the dents out and keep them on the road!
Ha ha ha! I hope this industry stays away for a long time these cars will never happen again and the beauty of design and manufacturing from those eras must live on!
Those old girls, will always need a young man, LoL 🤣
Morning Karl, you are good!! Thru my years of fabricating, you learn what tools to use for what you are trying to do. I really enjoy watching you straighten a mess!! I learn something every video of yours I watch!! Be safe!! God Bless!!
Thanks Michael ! Cheers!
My dad had a saying "Don't force it! Use a bigger hammer!" Thank you for taking the time to make another great video. Well done.
I really enjoyed this video! As an amateur body work guy, it was nice to see the actual work being done! I subscribed because you did a great job!
This guy is great at explaining the finer points/secrets of doing this type of work! Thank you!!!
You’re so welcome man! Pretty tough to learn the stuff when I was younger
Lots of great tips here! I really like the "take what you've got" approach. The clamp twist was a really good one. Don't know why I never thought about that. 👍
That's seriously impressive. Perhaps they should call you 'The magician of metal'
Ha ha ha thanks man!
Man, watching you restoring a panel is so pressure-relieving!
I never had done this technique until I got a 1971 VW Karmann Ghia. I did the nose to the point where I didn't need bondo !! MUCH easier than it looks. CHASE the 'line' ! Tink, Tink. NOT thump, thump. One can Hear when it is a correct strike. GREAT video !!
First, I wish I used hearing protection earlier in my life. Second, video well done with detailed explanations. Finally, this man has the knowledge & skill to make it work. Good job!
Thanks a lot man I appreciate that!
I like how you explain things simple but very clear
Awesome! I'm glad to know that!
thank you for your videos. I’m fixing up an old tractor and the hood has a few dents. after watching a few of your videos I tried it out myself and hammered out some dents!! woo hoo!!
The Shape of the metal is coming round. Looking good.
Thank you! It’s definitely getting there
Great video! So many of these videos lack the camerawork that shows what's going on on the other side of the panel when using a hammer and dolly, this really helped me to wrap my head around the process. Thanks!
You’re so welcome thank you for the feedback!
Karl, you are a very good teacher. I have watched this several times in the past months. I pick up something new every time.
Panel restoration is what you are doing and a great job as well really good and thank you for a 99% fantastic video !
Thanks Ronnie! I appreciate it!
For a young man, you have learned a lot, and are very good at teaching it to others. I really enjoy your videos, and look forward to applying what I've learned here to some of my own projects. Thanks, from an old man. Mike
I REALLY LIKE your channel and your work. It is refreshing to see a young man doing “old school” type craftsmanship. As an OLD MAN who spent far too many years doing noisy things (motorcycle racing, firearm shooting,wood and metal shop work, and too much loud music) I STRONGLY URGE YOU to PROTECT YOUR HEARING! When you get old that constant tinnitus is maddening,and people get really annoyed when you ask them to repeat things…a. LOT. If you hear any latent ringing after noisy work you have just chipped away at your ability to hear. You have a lovely wife, and you want to be able to hear and understand her whispering “sweet nothings” well into your 50s, 60s, and 70s.❤. It only takes a couple of seconds to slip on ear muffs.😃
Dude, this is a skill that you just don't learn overnight. You've gotta have someone in your family who taught you about working sheetmetal. It's an awesome trade.
Great video, you explained off dolly hammering very well; people do have trouble with the concept that you aren’t a blacksmith banging away on an anvil, the dolly is just there to back the metal up and you hammer the high spot! I almost yelled at my screen when you were hammering on your other hammer so I’m glad you pointed out that you wouldn’t normally hit your good hammer like that.
Hahah!!! Ya I have some sacrificial hammers I knew people would cringe on that on 😬 glad it come thru clear thanks 🙏 David !
man o man... Im 50 years young and STILL learning new stuff from you young'ns. lol Good stuff
Looking forward to part 2. You’re feeling me with confidence to fix the huge shipping dent in my 3 window trunk. THANK YOU 😊
Enjoy your low key style with helpful real world tips ,Keep them coming .Thanks
Best explanation on the net clear understanding with visuals. Good work.
All these years I thought I was doing it wrong, I have made mistakes but watching you beat on the hood I think I did pretty good and As far as I’m concerned your videos are to short , would’ve loved to see the hole hood finished. Thank you for your love of sharing your talent
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!
That was interesting. Looking forward to part 2
Coming right up! 👊
Your content and the love you put into your work is amazing! This is the only account that I follow that I sit and watch the whole thing in entirety.
Sir..you should teach anyone who wants to learn body work... your patience and skills are top notch and you picked a real piece of metal hood that deserves the time you spent restoring... you have a special talent for teaching...the best ...thanks and keep videos playing..👍
Thanks so much for this feedback it’s very thoughtful and I appreciate it! I definitely want to continue making videos and teach as much as I learn. Cheers!
Excellent videos! Great teaching skills combined with "can do" attitude. Thank you.
You did a great job on fixing that hood by hammer and dolly on it
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You have given me the motivation and confidence to keep going on my project.
That was a rough one, great job! Used your ideas today and makes sense. Trev’s blog is a great one for metal finishing too. Another master metal guy.
I gotta say your do a really good job of explaining the hows and whys in your videos, I'm 35 and I've been wrenching my whole life, I'm just getting into body work and for now I have pretty limited tooling. Your videos are informative and engaging, Really appreciate the work your doing and you'll be saving me a load of money on my car projects.
A true artist. You make it look easier than it is.
Loving the content your putting out man. I'm not a fabricator by trade but as I tinker on old projects I find myself diving more and more into it and always trying to learn and advance. Good stuff!
Glad you are enjoying the videos Erick! Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!
You make every job with so much passion, everything look like easy to do.. Good luck and don't change
I love watching talented people with skills do their thing. Thanks for sharing.😎
These are excellent videos, your presentation skills are excellent and you come across as a really genuine young man - im 70 and still learning - keep up the good work
So glad your channel popped up on my feed 😃. I’m learning so much watching your videos . They’re a real help with the restoration of my beat up Saab 96 here in the uk 👍🏻
Awesome James I’m glad to hear there of some help! There’s a lot of great info on TH-cam and I’m happy to contribute what I can
You are very amazing guy, iam in my 60s and and watch all your shows, and put to metal with fantastic results, you should have your own TV show, the way you explaine is just amazing, thanks for your help Mike.
You’re a good teacher my friend , you explain yourself very well thanks for sharing.
Man you really explained this great I learned a lot from this video, so thank you for taking the time to share this with your viewers!!
You’re so welcome man! I’m enjoying making these
These videos are pure gold. Thanks.👍👍👍
Oh man!! I’ve learned more watching that than ever! Thank you!
Love this episode. I recently purchased "The Key to Metal Bumping" and am reading it. It has fantastic explanations on removing dents and how to approach each kind. Mine is a 1953 edition so perfect for older cars.
Thanks for the recommendation I’ll have to check it out !
Second that! That book was a game changer for me. Nice work by the way.👍
I have that book as well. Haven't read it in a long time but IIRC a more gentle approach than initially beating it back into rough shape as shown in this vid. but when it's this bad maybe that's the only way to start.
You are a metal magician ... I have worked a lot of metal in my day... your talents are amazing !!!
40,41 Willy’s coupes and trucks are my favorites for a hot rod. Love watching you bring original metal back. Kept my attention throughout the whole video and that’s not easy to do.
Right on man I’m glad you like the content! Those coops are among my favourite cars as well
Great lesson. Liked all you said all the way through the video. 😊
I really enjoy every video you make you explain everything well
Great work Carl!!!!! It’s going to look great when it’s finished.Your very skilled and have a lot of experience. Love the video. I learned something today.
Awesome Roger I’m glad you learned something!
I avoided this video initially and it popped up a couple of more times, I am glad I watched if for nothing else knowing that I would have done everything wrong.
I’m glad you watched it too! Cheers
Absolutely amazing! Color me impressed! Incredible talent.
Great video of starting from scratch on an old panel that is borderline salvageable without good knowledge. Best I have seen.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Happy to hear a part 2.
I'd love and hope we are going to see the heat shrink on this one...
Great video Thank you
Fantastic,,,,That was very helpful.. looking forward to learning more about heat shrinking too....
Thanks so much! we'll be sure to make a video on that as well
Great video. Thanks, fun to watch someone who knows their craft and takes the time to explain it.
Glad you’re enjoying the content man thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the content. I banged out a few dents here and there before TH-cam was around. Need to do some finer work and am glad you were suggested to me. I have a full year to catch up on from this video. Looking forward to it.
Wow
Just found your channel and I haven’t been this mesmerized since Bob Ross. I’ll be binging now. Looking forward to more 👍
Hahaha! You can work on all kinds of emotions with a hammer and dolly
Great video Karl.
So much more learned today.
Had I have seen this lesson I would not have thrown away so many panels.
I love your videos, I can honestly say I have learned quite a bit
WOW. I am amazed! I am going to attempt to re shape my bent pieces in a patio cover. Thank you!
a true craftsman. nice work!
Where to locate the dolly with respect to the creases & damages was extremelly educational. Thank you.
Watched this video, went and bought a hammer and dolly set, and completely fixed some heavy wrinkles in my 37 chevy roof. My hat is off to you for the amazing content. Thank you!
Hell ya man! Way to go! Love hearing this
Could watch this guy for ages...total craftsman...have a 41 Ford hood that is very similar, so this will help out heaps..
You are a great teacher thank you for sharing
I don't do any sheet metal work really....buy its great to watch anybody skilled that is willing to teach. Thanks for your channel.....i get lots of good stuff from all your videos.
Love the gentle persuasion with the soft poundomitor
