Gotta love that CAD - cardboard assisted design 😂
Love it!
And the extensive use of CNC (copy n cut).
Diff passing on the South African humour eh !
That's what another DIY fabber (FarmCraft101) calls his, and it cracks me up every time.
How many just Laughed Out Laughed with how cool this was to learn ? Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it. It’s really the best way for hand plasma, cutting using a template!
This technique of tracing with a pencil is called "Frotage" . Love your work, and simplicity. Thanks.
And the Grammy award for best musical accompaniment in a TH-cam video goes to.....
Karl from Make it custom!
Awesome soundtrack and a great educational video.
I second that vote! Awesome blues! Next vid, can you play some Jimmy Vaughan? lol Maybe some Popa Chubby?
Love the Timmy's and A-and-Dub signs in the shop. Little touch of Canuck land!! Great work on the support structure. It looks like it's gonna be a big improvement. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.
Well done Karl 👍👍. This old geezer (or as the wife calls me…old gasser LOL) definitely learned how to make templates for the plasma, will come in handy in the near future. Going to make some signs and need to copy a pattern to cut on sheet metal and now have the knowledge on how to make templates easily. Many thanks!!
Karl - a LOT of layout work. Once again we see that preparation and planning is a HUGE part of any project. Your patience and attention to detail pays off in the long run. You need to reward yourself by introducing your Aussie friends to Canadian Whiskey!!
The shop teacher everyone wanted... thank you
Diggin' the tunes man 🤘
Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺 I hope you enjoy your time here with the metric system 😊😂
We use both the Metric system and the Imperial system in Canada and the US. So do you I believe. Do you measure your tv or computer screens in cm or inches?
@@SkaterStimmwe use the finger measurement and axe handles but every thing else is metric now. Your example using a tv screen measure it a bit of a pathetic attempt at trolling so run along.
@@strangecustoms8486 no one is trolling, just pointing out the obvious.
So much patients. I'm impressed.
Good to see you in Aus mate. Your accent is closer than most can get it, not too bad of an effort.
Love your videos, learning so much.
Thank you for you.
As usual: A great demonstration of ingenuity and educational video ❤
Great video Karl. Sometimes it's the seemingly simple things that make a huge difference. Keeping lines straight and crisp has been one of my concerns with using my small plasma. This really helps and is perfect timing.
Thanks and enjoy the trip!
Thanks a lot man! Yeah, it’s crazy how well a plasma cutter can do certain things!
Great video showing what can be done with a plasma cutter with some pre planning. Got to break out mine. Looks like fun. 👍
Hi Karl, another great video. Totally awesome blues background music. Who is performing?
Thats freaking amazing !! who woulda thought !!
Such a nice and relaxing video, awesome metal works as usual.
Perfect timing 😊
Great job, that cardboard template is reaaly cool, alot of things can be done with that process, thanks for sharing!
That floor is wicked cool! You guys make a great team!
Wow thanks for the tip , I was struggling with my complex shapes when plasma cutting, this is awesome!
I don’t have a plasma CNC table so I can’t wait to try this out!
Great work 👌Hope you are enjoying being in warm Oz
Wow lots of work in that thing .i seen you walk up with it in bennets video and kinda wondered about it . I figured he had a scale drawing of it.that trick with the plasma is amazing with outstanding results im definately going to try it with mine.
Great video. And thanks for sharing the cardboard template trick - that’s a winner for sure.
I don’t know why I would’ve never thought of it lol back when I was hand plasma, cutting everything I just made steel templates painstakingly with zip, cuts and files lol
Need to start with Good Day Mate. Yes down under is a whole lot warmer. You did a great job Karl with the card board. And the Laser cutter. Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy ❤
💯👊👍
You are always doing cool stuff.
Love the Tim Hortons sign.
Thanks for the Video from Australia. He has a nice set up there. You have to appreciate another metal fabricator. Like yourself. Has the right equipment to make all you need. Thank you Karl.
💯👊👍❤️
Hey Karl. You are a freakin artist bro. Plus the way you plan things out and follow your methodical step to the fore approach. Mate we are seeing you being the Da Vinci of car building customs. watching you do, what I know to be real taxing persistence, gives testament to your desire to create and willpower to succeed in this art. This is a moment in history that showcases some of the greatest talent within our world. Thanks to Jordan of course for planting a seed of process in your fertile mind
that material is called Chip board I order it from uline .050 thick 26"x38" 50pcs a case you can also get it from print shops or by the roll at home depot its used to protect finished floors they call it ram board I find the rolls harder to work with because its curled
Great to see you back in Australia Karl. Hope you enjoyed a brewski’s while you were here! 🇦🇺🏉
Good work
Oh hell yeah hope you are enjoying it here.
That is alot of patience,turned out nice
Nice technique, very surprised the board shows no burning evidence. Thanks for sharing
as a new plasma cutter owner, this is like a revelation! i never would have considered using cardboard.
Karl. Stick to being a Hot Rod Wizard. 😂 The Aussie accent was a real shocker mate.
Love your videos. Best Wishes from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
Always inspired after watching your videos. They also use good cardboard as a pallet base it's 1200mmx1200mm or for Carl 4ft x 4ft
U R a Bad Man. Keep up the good work
I’m in love with that two tone bus behind you Karl. Looks Subie powered!
It's an airplane engine I believe! There's some vids on Bennet's custom channel about it, I've only seen a few shorts about it
@@biryaniofbodyhair Jabiru maybe? I think they are a flat four aircraft engine from OZ.
3 cylinder radial aircraft engine.
🦘🇦🇺 Hey Karl, old mate I've been to "Canadia" and guess what you use "Metric" money . 😂
When I started my trade waaaaay back in the early 70's, the Metric System was just being introduced down here in Oz and had to be proficient in both.
All I know is 5/8ths of fck all is still fck all. 🤣
Cool cool 😊
nice technique! unbelievable amount of effort too. I do metal fabrication, and any time i'm working on mild steel, my hands get black pretty fast! I wear gloves when handling material with burrs and sharp edges, and of course for welding, but I can't stand trying to do careful manipulation with even thinner gloves most of the time.
Very cool method 😅😅
i think i would use panel bond to attach the "skeleton" to the floor panel. it would look much cleaner.
I am Canadian. I know both metric and imperial. I used metric in the machine shop and imperial in construction. I tried a metric tape in construction... was lost in 10 minutes. LoL. It should be more simple! I guess I need a little more time at it.
A graphite stick will make life easier than using a pencil for making rubbings, an X-acto knife will save your hand and a large cutting mat (4' x 8') will save blades and make cutting way easier.
Well, that is a neat and creative way to stiffen the panels. I gotta wonder, though, if you gained any more stiffness by doing it that way over simply rolling beads down the center of the areas you cut the skeleton for. 10ga sheet metal on a flat plane isn't really that stiff, especially in the manner it was used here. The beads would have added stiffness, not added any additional weight, and been much cheaper than the skeleton. Also, the single layer of metal can't trap moisture between the layers like the skeleton can. At that point just add the material along the sides at the frame rails to aid in the body attachment.
Looks like you're having fun. Did you check out the Busselton Jetty while over that way?
Pretty slick way to both make a pattern and then cut with a plasma cutter. I think that board is called RAM Board here in the States.
Is metric a new thing for you Karl ? Metric in Australia came in just as I was finishing school, so I had to learn both. Metric is way easier once you get used to it, and in my opinion more accurate. I still guestimate in feet and inches, but all actual measurements are in millimetres.
That material you are using for the template appears to be "chipboard." I have a couple hundred sheets that I bought from a mill called Newman Paperboard in Philadelphia. No relationship to Newman Paperboard--just sharing the information.
Na chipboard would have crumbled. Well the stuff we have in the UK would never get this thing. It's most likely a particle board of some sorts. Like a MDF type of cardboard.
@@ifell3 In the US, "chipboard" refers to a stiff paperboard, similar to matt board. The word is sometimes used to refer to "particleboard," but that's something completely different.
Making Jigs makes me smile. You would be good with fiberglass; cutting cloth to save material is important =]
When I order sheets of steel or aluminum, it is covered with chip board bit a little thinner than the construction board. I use it for plasma templates too.
Yeah, it works so awesome! That’s cool that you get it with your sheets. It’s like free templates then lol.
Good job Guy ;oP
In the USA that material is called chipboard. It is available at Home depot, Hobby City and many paper supply stores (used for making tablets). Fred Barnes
Yeah, it hit 47 C the last Jan/Feb I lived in Perth. Kinda recalibrated my perception of what is hot :D
Mate it's good to see you out here in Oz and I hope you got a decent amount of time in the surf to cool down. So.... the big question is do you prefer WA's heat or that white stuff on the ground of home? 😆😆😆
Nice work as always Karl. It's always a pleasure to see Jordan the Canadian Ausie as well. Being fro Minnesota I almost feel like we're brothers in freezing as a child.
Just curious put at the point where you traced the paper template to the cardboard could you have just attached the paper template directly to the cardboard with some spray adheasive and then cut to the paper template rather than having to redraw the paper template on to the cardboard again?
Are you running the plasmacutter tip in contact with the steel? No gap?
Are the floor panels a mirror image side to side, if so?
That tape measure wwould be a trip
Top video!
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀☮️😎
Tip- this is a good example when X2 on your video speed maded this episode better- the music sounded great sped up too.
3mm MDF and a jigsaw is another way to go for that template. I find them super durable for use again and again.
Nice video. And thanks for the "Pull the plasma torch instead of moving it sideways." No wonder a couple of my first ever few cuts looked perfect and the rest looked like shark's teeth. Now I know why. Surprised such a small amount of 10 gauge reinforcing stiffened the floorboard up that much.
Ha ha yeah it’s funny how it’s such a game changer but shouldn’t be lol
IS THIS THE MUSIC FROM SIXTEEN CANDLES WHEN THEY ARE AT THE PARTY AND THE PIZZA IS ON THE RECORD PLAYER ?? JUST CLOWIN LOVE YOUR WORK AND ADVICE !!!
Looks awesome, my only concern would be buzzing between the panels when its running. Also its gonna be bare metal between the panels or just a weld through primer, so eventually it will start to rust between the panels. Maybe he could have the whole floor assembly e-coated?
It will get coded in between panels and lots of plug weld, so hopefully no buzzing
Saw Jordan use straw board on a previous vid and that it worked perfectly for a plasma template but wasn't able to find it online or locally in North America. Just checked and couldn't find it at HD either.
I love how we slip back into the old ways when the new ways won't work for us. CAD, cardboard aided design.
Ram board at HD
Thanks for lining that out ha ha
Time consuming effort that pays dividends. Steady hand and good eye to seal the deal. Cheers Tim.
Your Aussie is at the very least, entertaining!
Karl, it might be too late but can you highlight the bus Jordan is working on. Looks like an interesting engine choice he’s using.
Bet you pack a tape measure next trip Karl. I have similar experience when building BMX. Manufacturers want to use Metrics when referencing dropouts for the wheel setups.
It's that a Canadian model "eh?" 💚🇬🇧🌱
Very nice work Karl Like you said you could reuse the Cardboard template and you Destroyed it That should be Hanging On the WALL
Ha ha ha it’s funny I was tired and hot. I was kind of frustrated that day.
👍👍👍
"Every day is a school day."
Don't mind if I put that one in my tool box.
Thank you.
Inspirational. The clash of the two strange accents (American here) is amusing, ey.
I have to wonder if it wouldn't have been easier to just remake the floor in heavier stock. By the time all that gets paint prepped and joined together I can't imagine starting over would have taken longer.
Ha ha yeah definitely I think lol
Us Kiwis have to speak slowly so our Ausi mates can understand us 👍🤣
Millimeters, how much easier are they to use. 160 mm or 6 inches and 19/64th
Aussie Accent nailed it!
Ha ha ha!
That was a lot of work- but it served the purpose
I'm pretty sure it will be stronger to put the 10 ga piece on top of the bead roll rather than inside it. Putting it inside gives you no benefit from the structure. It's like having a solid bar instead of a tube, the strength difference from the bits in the middle is not much compared to the outer area. If you make the arrangement so it's taller, there will be additional strength because you've made a sort of 'beam' from the parts.
Karl: "I'm going to Australia!"
Australia: "Get to work, Son!"
lol :D
Ever considered just glueing the panels to the subframe? Grat tips - i'll have to try to get my plasmacutter not to chew away the cardboard. A nozzle issue I assume ...
Never thought of it. I’m sure it would work out. The problem would be holding it down evenly everywhere.
@@MakeItKustom As I know there are "spacers" to guarantee an even layer of glue as recommendes troughout the seams when weighted ...
👍💪
Boom
Tim Hortons sign in Austraila
Yeah narr 😂🇦🇺🍻
Somebody help me why did he not use the right thickness from the begging? some one put me on the right page my brothers.
Funny that Canadians still know that Imperial is best! 😂

Nice Video.

Why is there a Tim Horton sign hanging in your shop?
