Don't apologize for the "crappy" camera work. It's far better than a lot of channels. For starters you are using a tripod so your viewers don't get seasick. The biggest thing is that you focus on the work that you are doing in a manner that makes it easy to follow. Thank you for your time and effort. Very educational content.
I'm in awe of your metal fabrication. It probably helps to have all the tools necessary. Still, this is a lost art and it's a joy to see you keep it alive! You have a new subscriber!
Great, clear, straightforward, no fluff, selling me nothing, passing on only real-life hands-on, in live time examples, of mastery level metalworking skills. And with No B.S. no hintings of political positions, or any of the like...educational only kewl postings! He is not even promoting his blatantly obvious, fully operating business he is casting the video from where you could quite certainly through this example alone, count on being assisted by a really skilled individual!
This is the type of work many of us want to learn, using hand tools instead of mega dollar metal shaping tools like on some other channels, thanks.... Subscribed.
Good video keeping it simple and basic. I'm a Panelbeater/body man and it's good to see simple easy to understand hands on demonstration. Cheers from new Zealand.
A True Artisan my new friend. Just watched a body putty video before this. I think I found a new channel to learn some new Technics to try. I have a passion for Metal work for over thirty years an still learn something new everyday! Keep em Rollin.
Excellent video for those of us who have done a little of this, but benefit greatly from seeing it done in detail, especially with relatively simple tools. I especially did not know a planishing hammer could be that effective at smoothing.
I'm a little late to this channel, but I think this particular video taught me more in the time I watched it than most others I viewed previously. Straight and to the point. Well done! No apologies necessary. Thanks for the lesson. Regards, Bert
Not just "don't got it", but "can't even get it", so can bring things back to life or invent new things! We recently saved a Hoover vacuum we like that you can't get the bottom plastic assembly for any more. We had a friend print a part from Thingiverse that reinforced the axles and superglued it in - bingo! That's how we can afford nicer things... (^_^)
Hey man, you're a solid guy, really appreciate your real world explanations using real world affordable methods that regular guys can get their hands on. This channel is awesome!
I love the rawness of this! I learned more watching you and your explanations than I did in my first year as an apprentice 30 years ago! Don’t change your methods at all!!!
Thank you for this! I know nothing about metalworking or bodywork, and I struggle to learn. You cover several different methods and steps necessary to create that simple but awkward panel shape and it helps me to understand a bit more. Wonderful, honest and helpful video! thank you :)
Amazing video, love watching the old school guys doing a job properly! I started my mechanical career working with an old boy in his 60’s restoring old jaguars, he taught me all the old techniques from lead filling to panel production and English wheel work! It’s a lost art now, but awesome to watch it still being done with love and passion! My best regards from the uk and keep up the great videos!
My father was a professional truck driver his entire working career, but he really wanted to be an auto body mechanic. I can see why Dad would have loved this. One of his uncles ran a body shop and my father briefly apprenticed with him. Uncle Percy was a cheap bastard who screwed my dad out of his wages, so my father walked out in disgust and never went back to it. I'm impressed by your skill and craftsmanship. Your videos may not have the polish of some other TH-camrs, but your straightforward and earnest presentation make your videos well worth the watch.
Thanks for posting these videos. I am learning heaps. We are losing these skills but your videos are helping preserve them. When I was a young guy (many many years ago) we built things from wood and metal. Yeah we cut ourselves, hit our thumbs and did other damage to our bodies but boy did we learn about the physical world and how things worked. And I am still learning. More power to you. Great job.
You are a great teacher, I feel like learned a ton, thank you for taking the time to make a video like this, covering ever little detail and explaining why you are doing something or why you are switching tool
Good video fella. Didn't overcomplicate the process and made it like we all could do this. Funny how as you age you get a lot more enjoyment from the things you HAD to do as an apprentice.
I'm so lucky to get your chanel , you and other guys with old school skills make our life so easy I'm just one who has a project in garage to do and you helped me to understand lot of concepts needed to finish what I have thanks for your efforts to deliver what you know to people you don't know like us , god bless you man
Thank you so much it’s guys like you that make guys like me you want to keep making videos like this lol. I really appreciate your comments and your support on my channel. Hopefully I will see you on the next video. ARCO
Okay, full confession. All of us want to be able to do this....most of us will never spend the time to learn this art. Thank you for sharing this. Could watch this stuff all day!
Some of us learned by necessity but you never stop learning new techniques and 90% is want to in this craft so these videos are really great ,no high dollar equipment just good old know how ! Thanks !
Sir you are genius, I just found someone I can learn from, I make my own metal forming tools from railroad iron, whatever they want to give I also use aluminum blocks, I have made some panels with these irons and some scrap wood for my 1953 Nash statesman, again I want to thank you, and keep it coming, it is a pleasure to see you at work,
I appreciate the fact that during the whole time you were acknowledging that there was/is an entity on the other side of your camera. Some folks have trouble doing that. Great and useful video. Trying to teach myself shaping, So thank you for even the littlest details.
Thumbs up! Always glad to learn a better and easier way to accomplish panels and brackets. People ask me if I can make something for repair and I ask can you draw it and I make it. I love that I am able to fix and repair as needed because a lot of time we don’t have a part replacement! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
@@wayneblackwell4609 this is what it takes to fix these after market panels, they do not fit, at all, ever! I mean if you don't mind your body lines jogging all over the side of the car, your wheel wells to be completely different and nothing to fit properly go for it, but if you want stuff to fit well, look good and match you need to refine the after market panels to fit. Also not every car has aftermarket panels and having the skill to build what you need goes a long way. Thanks for watching!
THAT is a beautiful piece reproduced, not in a factory, but, by hand. Skills in this day, of plastic paneled, glued cars, skills that are rare, unless you are a coach builder, and I believe you are. Kudos to you and your profession.
Great video's just came across you site. I use alot of the same tools stumps, O2 bottle for shaping, beater bag w/ plastic hammer. I like the set up you have on the English Wheel having everything on one stand. Great Idea ! I feel add on's coming to my English Wheel. Again great video's ! Thanks !

Hey mate, welder / 'sheetmetal' guy here who doesn't actually do real sheet metal work anymore, everything comes laser cut, gets formed on a hydraulic press with a die that was also CNC'd, and I just weld the fuckin thing. Miss the old days of heating and beating copper by hand when I used to make stills, enjoyed this video. Never worked on cars, but my former coworker always used to talk about his resto projects, so this was interesting to get a glimpse.
You will get more out of the tipping wheel by levering up on the work with your left hand. I think that’s where most of the bending action comes from. Nice to see a guy getting panels done without $20k power hammers. Just some simple HF stuff, modified where required and some ingenuity. Thanks for the video.
10:33 I like the way you made your tool using an air hammer. Great idea! And you have a really good feel for how to move the part to make the shape you want. Awesome!
Nice video!! I like you're shop. I can't believe somebody would give a thumbs down!?! Thanks for taking the time to adjust the camera to a real good angle. Good video!!
Really impressed by his expertise,and easy way of teaching. I just started doing art metal fabrication and into my 2nd semester of welding school. I would work for free, if this guy would teach Me. Thanks
Excellent, Goes to show,"skill" at work and an active Brain on "how to" make something,its called Skill and a very Innovative person on how to get it done!!100--100 ty
My grandfather in law was a hand artist and rebuild many many 1930s rolls roice and I think he said Bugatti that sold for millions. You make it look so easy its so much talent
Scrolling through and this recommendation pops up. Glad I watched! Great skill and that's just one small piece of the puzzle. New subscriber! Looking forward to seeing more.
I’m a retired welder/fabricator and I am impressed. Your metal working skills are obviously top notch. I thought your camera work was great. Everything was easy to see. Thank you.
@@tuttiw3014 He is forming a piece of CRS (cold rolled steel) which is mild steel and lends itself well for forming. A high carbon steel (one in which could be hardened) is not necessary for this type of work and application.
Really cool video. Reminds me of working in the body shop as a kid and watching my dad rebuild rocker panels, fender wells, cab corners, door skins and all that. He'd braze them in, I'd grind them down and float them out, spot prime, and prep for paint. Got tough when the panel steel started to get really thin though. Haven't done anything like that for over 30 years now, but I sure did enjoy watching you do this part. Thanks, new sub.
Subscribed. I been making patches for the rockers on my project. It’s my first shot at this so it’s good I found your channel cause I really don’t know what I’m doin. A few hammers, dollies and an anvil is all I got. Results have been good but takes me a long time.

@@lewiscollins1045 Yes, maybe a "panel beater" but one applying great refined mechanical skills to shape raw materials into another form. It is all mechanical skills whether shaping metal or tuning a combustion engine...says a very skilled highly experienced industrial construction worker who started his career in 1985. I have countless times applied my mechanical skills to just figure out a solution to a problem for pay. That is what I currently do now for a living, in fact, and that is I advise by drawing on my mechanical experience to apply it to a situation in a way as to avoid many costly holdups on a project before the first step even begins. So I am still being a mechanic "with my hands in my pockets" so to speak being paid to, in quick time in my head review an entire construction process from beginning to end in a self-generated simulation model running it multiple times to see where glitches can occur before they get the chance to stop progress. Industrial Electrician/Welder/Framer/Sheet Metal Fabrication/Mechanic/Wood Working/Blacksmithing are my main backbone skillsets usually relied on the most, but I am also very skilled in Primitive Technologies, (stone, bone, wood, fire shaping/modding, etc) Primitive Boyer, BackWoods and Off-Grid living in long term situations and even own my own commercial sewing machine as a man and make my own survival clothing by hand myself just using the machine to radically cut the time it takes to hand stitch something. Besides, being in my 50's it is rough on my now corrective lense dependant eyes to look so long so close up at such small things as threaded stitches for hours. So yes I really can say I possess a cornucopia of real very serious hand skills in widely varied forms and areas, and will always point out that every skill mentioned or referred to in this reply, even the brain only applications, is purely mechanical! He is a master level mechanic indeed.
@@lewiscollins1045 Wow what turned you into such a spineless cry baby? If you can't take criticism in any form you are definitely in the wrong forum... Grow up or go home
@@yestervue4697 All some people can do is hide under their doona and criticize others - easier than actually doing something positive with their life..........
Hey mate new to your channel. I've been teaching myself how the hand shape penals for about three years now and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Cheers Wayne
Amazing bro, I’ve learnt more about sheet-metal working in the last 18 minutes from you there any other channel I’ve seen. I build bikes on my channel so this is going to come in handy very soon. Thanks mate. From Australia 🇦🇺
I stumbled onto your channel by accident but, glad I did. You are proof that tools don't make a fabricator but, hand skills do. I'm now a subscriber to your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Here it is, the comment I come looking for after finishing the video. I started laughing and said damn he sounds just like me when I'm out in my shop when he went after the harder body hammer and you hear him say that. I'm such a "Hey where the hell is my, nevermind I found it" type of guy too. lol Then I thought who else caught that and how far am I gonna have to scroll down to find it? Anyways, here I am and here's to constantly misplacing shit on a daily basis and finding it shortly after. Most of the time. 🍻 😁😂
The secret to defeating the workshop gremlins who hide your tools is to look for something else and then mysteriously you find what you were looking for in the first place.
Man great video i was a fabricator for over 28 year's until my wife decided to destroy my business... but watching you is kool just the atmosphere of your shop and I I own a 1965 Plymouth fury 3 my last build 543 cu stroker with a 88 mm turbo back half with 15/32 Mickey Thompsons and it just sets been setting for the last 10 year's trying to just get motivated you're videos not a whole lot of shinny shop hi technology equipment just down and dirty raw talent thanks.
This is what I call honest labor. Man is a tool- using species first and foremost, this is the kind of skill you can use for a lifetime with the simplest of tools, and create things of value beyond just car parts- think where else you can go with this like Repoussé, chasing, and other such fine arts. Thanks for sharing your gift, you are a true Renaissance man for sure.☺
I love metal shaping. I don't have any fancy tools, and I know I'll never be able to buy anything unless it's from harbor freight. So I love learning different ways to shape metal with simple hand tools and some inexpensive power tools. I'm glad I stumbled onto this channel. I'll be watching it a lot.
DUDE!!!!! You are the BEST!!!! You put a real world perspective with real world tools and old school Craftsman methods and to the public eye and that some awesome ship brother I have a 15 year old son that he was all about the tuners and now his dream truck is a 64 C10. This is pinnacle for him I am a bit of an outlaw myself old school Arizona blue collar life blue collar roots and this keeps a dead art alive I think it's great what you're doing my son tried to research Ron Covell. And of course he wants $600 for his Box set of metal shaping which I think is krapp what a d*** the average welder is now 58 years old and are young people don't wanna do this type of stuff anymore I'd they get sad because some of the coolest things that are created are built by our blood and our sweat and by our hands you are the bomb one of the best TH-cam videos I've seen I can tell you had a hard life like I have and wish that you were in Arizona cause I would like to connect up and hang out man you're bad a** keep up the killer videos!!!!!
skeeter summers thanks so much brother for the nice comments. Im always pushing for young kids to use their hands and build something instead of messing around on video games. Check out our channel there is alot of videos for young guys starting out in this lost art. Also check out my Instagram. And our website just went online too. MN outlaw customs.com thanks! ARCO
@@OutlawEdge For sure bro. I was raised old school my grandfather was a valve train machinist for TRW federal mogul my dad was a Porsche mechanic that died when I was 4 years old in a car accident and I've had A Series of Unfortunate Events in my life like divorce drug addiction long time ago I was in trouble with the law. At any event I sit and watch my son struggle and it breaks my heart because the stupid f******* schools Teach college preparatory for 100% of the students when reality is only 18% of them and up going to college so what happened to the other 82% of kids there are no shop classes there is no vocational training offered for free in schools and it sucks. My son and I build old Chevy trucks and do custom welding and fabrication ourselves but it is encouraging to him to see a secondary perspective in his learning curve. He has 80HD and is very artistically in tune and associates metal fabricating with graphic design just real world design as what he calls it we are out in the garage every weekend without fail. Or the drag races or some other event where we're getting out from in front of ATV or sitting behind a phone. I'm so dedicated to this that I do not have any social media I do not allow my son to take his phone out of his pocket while a vehicle is running and he is sitting in it I feel that electronical devices are the downfall to creative thinking and the challenge of intellect and exercising your mind within this world not to mention the breakdown of verbal expression that's lost through text print. So when I tell you my friend that I really appreciate a guy like you Who is humble real apologetic for being poor at being a camera man. I laugh my a** off because that is me all day and I can tell just by some of your tattoos that me and you have been down somewhere paths in life if you're ever in the Phoenix area Shoot me a message. Keep up the great videos man some of the best stuff I've seen on TH-cam and I'm always looking for things to share with my son thanks so much for being one of the last of the mohicans left. Have a good night your fellow mohican
Very informational. Wonderful work. You’re a real craftsman. Looking forward to watching more.i have DVD’s that cost me as much as a very good steak dinner, and they are, none of them, as helpful and direct as yours. Thank you.

He'd braze them in, I'd grind them down and float them out, spot prime, and prep for paint. Got tough when the panel steel started to get really thin though. Haven't done anything like that for over 30 years now, but I sure did enjoy watching you do this part. Thanks, new sub.
Subscribed. I been making patches for the rockers on my project. It’s my first shot at this so it’s good I found your channel cause I really don’t know what I’m doin. A few hammers, dollies and an anvil is all I got. Results have been good but takes me a long time.
Canadian Marauder ive done complete builds with a couple hammers,dollies and a crappy anvil. Keep up the good work brother. It’s therapeutic 😂👍🇺🇸 thanks for the sub! ARCO
nice one dude,you are helping thousands of us by sharing these skills with us.
Don't apologize. You're obviously a master level mechanic, and we're not watching for your videography skills.
He's a panel beater, not a mechanic..
@@lewiscollins1045 Yes, maybe a "panel beater" but one applying great refined mechanical skills to shape raw materials into another form. It is all mechanical skills whether shaping metal or tuning a combustion engine...says a very skilled highly experienced industrial construction worker who started his career in 1985. I have countless times applied my mechanical skills to just figure out a solution to a problem for pay. That is what I currently do now for a living, in fact, and that is I advise by drawing on my mechanical experience to apply it to a situation in a way as to avoid many costly holdups on a project before the first step even begins. So I am still being a mechanic "with my hands in my pockets" so to speak being paid to, in quick time in my head review an entire construction process from beginning to end in a self-generated simulation model running it multiple times to see where glitches can occur before they get the chance to stop progress.
Industrial Electrician/Welder/Framer/Sheet Metal Fabrication/Mechanic/Wood Working/Blacksmithing are my main backbone skillsets usually relied on the most, but I am also very skilled in Primitive Technologies, (stone, bone, wood, fire shaping/modding, etc) Primitive Boyer, BackWoods and Off-Grid living in long term situations and even own my own commercial sewing machine as a man and make my own survival clothing by hand myself just using the machine to radically cut the time it takes to hand stitch something. Besides, being in my 50's it is rough on my now corrective lense dependant eyes to look so long so close up at such small things as threaded stitches for hours. So yes I really can say I possess a cornucopia of real very serious hand skills in widely varied forms and areas, and will always point out that every skill mentioned or referred to in this reply, even the brain only applications, is purely mechanical! He is a master level mechanic indeed.
@@yestervue4697 Hows get fucked sound? jog on prick..
@@lewiscollins1045 Wow what turned you into such a spineless cry baby? If you can't take criticism in any form you are definitely in the wrong forum... Grow up or go home
@@yestervue4697 All some people can do is hide under their doona and criticize others - easier than actually doing something positive with their life..........
Fantastic explanation. I learned a lot from you. Many thanks
Hey mate new to your channel. I've been teaching myself how the hand shape penals for about three years now and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Cheers Wayne
Drinking some coffee this morning, and this drove by my TH-cam so I decided to watch it Arco. 😁👍☕
Thanks so much brother! Its guys like u is the reason I do this channel. 👍 ARCO
Look back at some of the older videos lots of cool stuff there .
Amazing bro, I’ve learnt more about sheet-metal working in the last 18 minutes from you there any other channel I’ve seen. I build bikes on my channel so this is going to come in handy very soon. Thanks mate. From Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks brother I’ve been sub to your channel for a long time I absolutely love your channel 👍 ARCO
@@OutlawEdge Thank you so much mate. Maybe we could collaborate somehow?
That would be awesome! Shoot me an email and i will send you my number 👌🏼
@@OutlawEdge sent 👍
Great tutorial. Unedited makes it feel like you're in the shop with the dude and he's giving you a one on one lesson. Keep'em coming! Subscribed!
Good time to put these up brother it's lunch time in Tasmania lol
A true craftsman enjoying his creations ! Excellent video
I really learned a lot thank you.
Stumbled on this video but I'm glad I did because you have some serious skill and dudes like you are what TH-cam is all about ...
I actually though the camera work was really good. Perfect position to see what ur doing!
Great job. Enjoy watching people who do things kind of the way I do them.
This popped up in my recommended list.. wow, Mark Wahlberg is really good at body work 😆
😃😃😃
I stumbled onto your channel by accident but, glad I did. You are proof that tools don't make a fabricator but, hand skills do. I'm now a subscriber to your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
"Annnnd where's it at?!?!?" Me when I worked as a mechanic look for tools I just had in my hand 10 seconds ago....
Here it is, the comment I come looking for after finishing the video. I started laughing and said damn he sounds just like me when I'm out in my shop when he went after the harder body hammer and you hear him say that. I'm such a "Hey where the hell is my, nevermind I found it" type of guy too. lol Then I thought who else caught that and how far am I gonna have to scroll down to find it? Anyways, here I am and here's to constantly misplacing shit on a daily basis and finding it shortly after. Most of the time. 🍻 😁😂
Maybe a tool belt with magnets riveted on it! I AM THE WORST ABOUT THIS TOO.
The secret to defeating the workshop gremlins who hide your tools is to look for something else and then mysteriously you find what you were looking for in the first place.
@@markfryer9880 I thought you had to live out offerings of booze and cookies or salty things : P
GOOD INFORMATIVE VIDEO WILL CONTINUE WATCHING AND LEARNING,THANK,S PJP
Man great video i was a fabricator for over 28 year's until my wife decided to destroy my business... but watching you is kool just the atmosphere of your shop and I I own a 1965 Plymouth fury 3 my last build 543 cu stroker with a 88 mm turbo back half with 15/32 Mickey Thompsons and it just sets been setting for the last 10 year's trying to just get motivated you're videos not a whole lot of shinny shop hi technology equipment just down and dirty raw talent thanks.
Jerry Jordan awesome 💪 thanks for the nice comments brother. Thanks for watching. Stay safe! ARCO MN OUTLAW CUSTOMS
This is what I call honest labor. Man is a tool- using species first and foremost, this is the kind of skill you can use for a lifetime with the simplest of tools, and create things of value beyond just car parts- think where else you can go with this like Repoussé, chasing, and other such fine arts. Thanks for sharing your gift, you are a true Renaissance man for sure.☺
Nothing wrong with your video skills and really good teaching. Thank you.

It's awesome watching you I'm a sheet metal worker but I do cladding on pipes and I love working on cars and learning real skills on shaping metal
I love metal shaping. I don't have any fancy tools, and I know I'll never be able to buy anything unless it's from harbor freight. So I love learning different ways to shape metal with simple hand tools and some inexpensive power tools. I'm glad I stumbled onto this channel. I'll be watching it a lot.
DUDE!!!!! You are the BEST!!!! You put a real world perspective with real world tools and old school Craftsman methods and to the public eye and that some awesome ship brother I have a 15 year old son that he was all about the tuners and now his dream truck is a 64 C10. This is pinnacle for him I am a bit of an outlaw myself old school Arizona blue collar life blue collar roots and this keeps a dead art alive I think it's great what you're doing my son tried to research Ron Covell. And of course he wants $600 for his Box set of metal shaping which I think is krapp what a d*** the average welder is now 58 years old and are young people don't wanna do this type of stuff anymore I'd they get sad because some of the coolest things that are created are built by our blood and our sweat and by our hands you are the bomb one of the best TH-cam videos I've seen I can tell you had a hard life like I have and wish that you were in Arizona cause I would like to connect up and hang out man you're bad a** keep up the killer videos!!!!!
skeeter summers thanks so much brother for the nice comments. Im always pushing for young kids to use their hands and build something instead of messing around on video games. Check out our channel there is alot of videos for young guys starting out in this lost art. Also check out my Instagram. And our website just went online too. MN outlaw customs.com thanks! ARCO
@@OutlawEdge For sure bro. I was raised old school my grandfather was a valve train machinist for TRW federal mogul my dad was a Porsche mechanic that died when I was 4 years old in a car accident and I've had A Series of Unfortunate Events in my life like divorce drug addiction long time ago I was in trouble with the law. At any event I sit and watch my son struggle and it breaks my heart because the stupid f******* schools Teach college preparatory for 100% of the students when reality is only 18% of them and up going to college so what happened to the other 82% of kids there are no shop classes there is no vocational training offered for free in schools and it sucks. My son and I build old Chevy trucks and do custom welding and fabrication ourselves but it is encouraging to him to see a secondary perspective in his learning curve. He has 80HD and is very artistically in tune and associates metal fabricating with graphic design just real world design as what he calls it we are out in the garage every weekend without fail. Or the drag races or some other event where we're getting out from in front of ATV or sitting behind a phone. I'm so dedicated to this that I do not have any social media I do not allow my son to take his phone out of his pocket while a vehicle is running and he is sitting in it I feel that electronical devices are the downfall to creative thinking and the challenge of intellect and exercising your mind within this world not to mention the breakdown of verbal expression that's lost through text print. So when I tell you my friend that I really appreciate a guy like you Who is humble real apologetic for being poor at being a camera man. I laugh my a** off because that is me all day and I can tell just by some of your tattoos that me and you have been down somewhere paths in life if you're ever in the Phoenix area Shoot me a message. Keep up the great videos man some of the best stuff I've seen on TH-cam and I'm always looking for things to share with my son thanks so much for being one of the last of the mohicans left. Have a good night your fellow mohican
skeeter summers thanks my brother. Shoot me a message anytime and i will give u my number. Arcohorton53@gmail.com
