Thanks again Trev. What I have learned from you is a light tap with the hammer is more effective than a heavy hit to achieve your end goal. From a heavy hit, the metal seams to bounce rather than move. I'm off out to my workshop to attempt today's lesson. Great stuff & inspirational as usual.
Well actually a heavy whack is quite dramatically effective in shaping metal… the thing is that it moves other places that aren’t beneficial- and correcting these stretches, wrinkles, and shapes is more time consuming than simply stretching it where you want it more generally to begin with.
The first video I watched of yours, sort of had me. You were showing an old planishing hammer you wore out over 30 years of use. That pricked my ears! 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
Hi young man from someone who has been beating tin as long as you have been alive A rare youtuber who DOES know what he is talking about keep it up Learn from this guy
Nice work, Trev. You're a good teacher; now I know why body work is so expensive as it is quite an art; while still a profession and very time consuming. Personally, I've been a mechanic for about fifty years and have quite a bit of welding experience which includes socket welding high pressure hydraulic piping. Stick and MIG are my experience as TIG wasn't really into use widely at that time, (1970s and 80s). Massaging sheet metal for body panels hasn't been my forte, though. This is why I feel fortunate to have found your channel. Not all of us have access to the major tools of the trade such as English wheels an such, so it's quite refreshing to see how panels can be formed using what can be easily and economically procured. I thank you for taking the time to share your expertise.
Thanks Trev. I have messed around for years getting poor results, not knowing what I am doing and because of this video and other of yours that I have watched, I now understand. When I have tried to remove dents in the past I have been doing it backward, trying to hit out from behind when I should have placed he dolly there as in your explanation of curve of steel etc . Thank you...
I followed your previous advice re slapper file. I can honestly say it made a great job of my daughters Vespa I had never done anything like this before. With a bit of patience we got professional results. Thank you Trev. Resto lad also does a good demo for reference.
Hey Trev, you're doing a wonderful job educating me on a subject I always found interesting but had next but had next to no knowledge of. I grew up as an auto mechanic with no teaching on body panel repair or building. Really enjoy how you make it "make sense ". Thanks
The hammer I won a few months ago has already been put to use, ok not on car panels but my daughters garage door she reversed into but it worked a treat. lol Great bit of kit and I'd highly recommend them to anyone who's thinking of getting one and NO I'm not sponsored by Trev lol. Another informative video Trev.
thanks Trev , another excellent tutorial showing the process in detail from start to finish. Its better than following a course at college or in a workshop as we are getting one to one in the front seat. Thank you for going to the trouble of explaining your tool choice and the various methods of using them so that we can see your thought process throughout the job. In a few short hours with your video tutorials I have learnt far more than I have picked up over a 50 year period of repairing and restoring my own classic cars. .. its like getting a completely free car bodywork repair workshop brought to your own home .....Priceless
Good morning Trev, I can't tell you how much I learn from your talent and expertise. Now I have more tools to manufacture. And they are just so practical and simple tools. Can't wait for the next one. You take care.
There aren't ANY schools for this skill anywhere. The skill is passed from generation to generation, and the younger people will just take the shortcut and use force, machines, or welding to do what you see Trev do in the video. Notice how slowly Trev works the small piece!
Hello, learned a lot from your videos!! My bodywork teacher back in the day explained the waffle hammer as follows: when you hit a stomp nail again and again at random places on a flat sheet, the metal will compress at those points and the flat sheet will shrink inwards into a bowl. I then tried flaring out my fenders with the waffle hammer his way, but it didn't work for me, by just hiting it and by luck doing it half your way there was more succes. Maybe I can start on the other side now, after 20 years :) Cheers
Again Trev as always a very informative video. Always look forward to your uploads don't worry about the length of them as myself and I'm sure others could watch hours of your work and not get bored. As to your gearbox I believe it's a five speed type 9 if my memory serves me right.
Hey Trev. I stumbled upon your channel after deciding to tackle rust damage on an old 60 series land cruiser. Up until now my metal shaping/ repair knowledge has been fairly limited, but thanks to you I’m gaining in confidence that I might be able to do a half decent repair to the old cruiser. Cheers from OZ. Dean. P.S I think it’s a 5 speed gearbox!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to cope without an English wheel, and then Trev to the rescue! I finished my slapper and started knocking the dents out of my Austin Healey shroud, but I’ve got some repair patches that I will need to make up soon
The gearbox in the van is a ford type 9 5 speed, patience is the key o form sheet metal and never try to weld it before it fits. Keep the Tips and tricks coming !
Useful video. Like your plans on english wheel. Also the idea to utilize a press for creating form. I myself used a rounded beadroller die in a press, to create a deep water exit hole in the outer sill area
All these people who just comment that its a 5 speed gearbox just so they can get your free panel hammer..........aaawww go on then..its a 5 speed box! Great video, wish it didn`t look so easy and turn out to be so hard.
Highlight of the week, Trevor gives away the best information on metal-shaping on youtube. Looking forward for more, Please make the 2 hour version on dent flipping ;-) Been watching you since your first video on metal-shaping and find your explanations very good, serious and still with the right portion humor. "I like it a lot" (Harry - Dumb Dumber) Best regards Michael from Denmark ps. My first comment ever on youtube. Type 9 - 5 speed gearbox.
Yours is the only channel that makes 42 minutes seem like 20 and short ;) Love your work Trev, the haircut is looking schmick man, just noticed you lost the sideburns.... maybe it's coz I'm always interested in what you have to say and show! And your 5 speed is heaps better as a replacement, gotta love 5 gears, when I'm driving a 4 speed I always search for the fifth LOL Take care man.
I see guys hammering ashtrays, and propeller nose cones for aircraft at airshows. They use a leather bag filled with steel shot to for the ash tray bowl, but I don't stay long enough to see a propeller cone made. They are actually selling soldering rods for aluminium, but hammer out parts to attract the crowds.
Great Video Trev, can't wait to see your channel grow, it most definitely will! The English Wheel & Press projects sound great, I do hope you turn them into a reality - Thanks for Sharing!
Another super video-thank you. YOu are my favorite body guy to follow. The cradle holder for the dolly-a great idea. Speaking as a rank ameratur next to you, I'd love to see a video on the essential hand tools you suggest-I have a set of cheap Harbor Fright dollies but I need to figure out what items I should be adding next. Same for hammers, punch and flangers etc
@@trevsblog As long as I'm dreaming, intermediate would be nice as well. How many dollys and types are needed., bead roller, TIG for body panels external vs MIG with Argon, must have hammers, nice to have/completist only and anything on the whaletail body picks for addressing small dents on a fender-like when something fell off the rafter and put a plum sized dent in the crown of a 61 Alfa fender. stuff like that great stuff-really do appreciate it
5spd from a Zetec focus :) You should start selling a 'Trev approved line of tools'. Hammers, dollys, slappers etc. Keep the price down by not customising them, but knowing what you sell is good gear
5 speed! Great video again Trev, the devil is in the detail and its great to see the theory covered . Most creators leave that out (or dont know it in the first place!) which introduces guess work. I used to work for a large race car constructor in the midlands and when I asked a fabby there about the teeth on his slapper he said it was made from an old file!
I would love to see some old photos of what Sr. Ferrari had in his body shed. They say he had a tree stump on the floor. An old movie of the workers hammering would be priceless as well.
Thanks. I really like the way you explain planishing on the white board. Could you explain planishing even further by drawing a number of intermediate steps?
Looking forward to your upcoming projects. I learn from all of your tips and tricks. Just goes to show that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Oh yeah, your van will have a type 9, 5 speed. 👍🏻 Get-er-done! 🇺🇸😎
Ops, It's a Ford type 9. You are a brave man to make all these changes, or maybe ignorance is bliss? Thanks for showing the actual steps and thinking needed for conversions
Hello, Trevor the Loquacious! I suggest you set up a Patreon account. I support a number of content providers on a monthly basis and would be glad to support you if only it was to see which shirt you wear each week. I'm just an old guy now, living in a apartment, but I do still enjoy learning about shaping metal. OK, listen. Whoever told you to save up all the van updates until the end is full of crap. I guarantee your subscribers and supporters numbers would jump up if you were giving weekly updates on the van. Projects, and well done projects in particular, are very popular on TH-cam.
Looking forward to the next shaping video The gearbox is a Type 9, 5 speed and oh boy a shrinker and stretcher is something I really want. interested to see what you got.
Ford Sierra Type 9 5 speed gearbox :) ... inspiring videos, found out about your channel recently and am watching from first video onwards. Keep up the Tips and tricks!
Thank you again for the great videos. Since things are slow during this time of year for TH-cam channels, i.e., less revenue generated, I just placed an order for three hammers instead of one. I hope I don't prevent anyone from being able to purchase a hammer. I don't know how many hammers you have available. I will also continue to let the commercials complete, because that also generates advertising revenue. 5 gear speed box.
Trev Supporter from USA thanks for you continued support, the hammers have just been posted. I should be able to get some more for anyone that still would like one. Cheers Trev 👍
Any chance of doing a video showing the best technique to get that panel flat again - in my experience getting sheet to go flat & straight after damage is probably harder than getting it to curve. Thanks Trev, great video! You are never going to run out of content ideas!
Ford 5 speed transmission type 9. Would love to buy a hammer but shipping is a little steep to US. Great videos, learning a bunch. Beautiful work. Thanks.
another great vid Trev, explanation of the bumping file makes sense now :-) thanks , looking forward to an update on the van too with the type9 5speed box
Excellent video and information as per usual Trev, look forward every week to next tips n tricks. Maybe a feature on spraying, set up etc etc sometime?
Great video Trev. Always great tips and advice on getting the job done from the master bodywork specialist ! i believe its a 5 speed type 9 ford Sierra gearbox Trev.
Also love the music in your videos. Would be interested in your music sources to see if I could find them on this side of the pond. Love having music playing some of the time when I'm putzing on projects, but not so much when working metal because it feels like the sound of the work is part of the feel for the metal. Which brings me to a question. Do you have a different feel for the metal when using a tool with a wooden handle verses a synthetic handle? I'm very new at this, but it seems like a wooden handle gives me better feedback from the metal. I guess a more delicate feel would be a way to describe it. Thanks!
I just search for music on TH-cam, there are millions of tracks on TH-cam. All of my hammers have wooden handles, I tend to find that getting used to using a specific tool by using it for hundreds of hours makes it more effective in use rather than buying something with a high price tag, although struggling with something cheap and ineffective is also totally pointless. Cheers Trev 👍
With regards to the shrinking process which my family used, was: 1. Heat a bullseye to bright cherry. 2. Hammer+dolly in a circular fashion from the outer edge into the center, then quench. 3. Repeat step 2 as necessary (I've seen more than a dozen 'shrinks' - on average). 4. Slap iron (medium coarseness bumping file) and dolly the panel contour, then Vixen file, move the shape as needed. You might need to pick, you might need to shrink, but keep at it, you'll get there. 5. After the repair is painted, stare at the panel profile from the side for at least an hour, and notice not one wave.
I find myself going back to your videos over and over. Thanks Trev!
Excellent advice. I have used these methods for 45 years and was taught by a great panelbeater during my apprenticeship
Thanks again Trev.
What I have learned from you is a light tap with the hammer is more effective than a heavy hit to achieve your end goal. From a heavy hit, the metal seams to bounce rather than move.
I'm off out to my workshop to attempt today's lesson. Great stuff & inspirational as usual.
As is so often the case. kinda zen advice when you think about it...
I started by hammering aluminium cans together, then forming the into ash trays.
Well actually a heavy whack is quite dramatically effective in shaping metal… the thing is that it moves other places that aren’t beneficial- and correcting these stretches, wrinkles, and shapes is more time consuming than simply stretching it where you want it more generally to begin with.

The toothed shrinker leaves a lot of damage in the metal. I sanded the teeth off mine, and use it as a nice heavy slapper. Go Trev!
Love your tips and videos, Trev. You're putting a 5-speed transmission in the van.
Thanks Trev. Dear me. Your ethic and explanation is most excellent. I benefit from this enormously. Cheers mate.

We can use saucers instead of wheels if you want for a split decision situation for sergant major 😭
you do what u need to do mate, myself and others will still watch!

You have fitted a five speed gearbox to the van!!
Can't wait to see it finished. Not long now 😁
I really admire your feeling and knowledge of panels, you make it seem so simple.

With regards to the shrinking process which my family used, was:
1. Heat a bullseye to bright cherry.
2. Hammer+dolly in a circular fashion from the outer edge into the center, then quench.
3. Repeat step 2 as necessary (I've seen more than a dozen 'shrinks' - on average).
4. Slap iron (medium coarseness bumping file) and dolly the panel contour, then Vixen file, move the shape as needed. You might need to pick, you might need to shrink, but keep at it, you'll get there.
