Cool another Trev's blog, blog ! I like how ignore the keyboard heros, I personally know one and we recently had an email argument over a car I'm prepping , he thinks welding a roof on or rear arch inners is like waving the torch and hey presto, done . I've been restoring cars for 25yrs , he polishes keyboards and has no idea the skills involved in bringing an old rot box back from the dead lol . Hope your next vid is sooner than later , cheers from Australia 🦘
Yup just make a channel put your stuff up and ignore the bad commenters. They are doing it in order to make them selves feel superior. I just put up my various projects and maybe someone will find it useful or entertaining.
Fair comment but I have seen many posting "How to" videos when they clearly have no idea what they are doing or demonstrate "how to" really badly.
People take what is shown on these videos as fact and they get reposted on forums spreading misinformation, so for the sake of the community some level of critique could be beneficial.
It's a shame but the empty vessels and keyboard warriors who make uncalled for and negative comments are often the loudest voices but hopefully they will never put off guys like yourself and Trev from posting.
Keep up the good work guys.
@@davidcook99 I don't do mine as a how to. My videos are a how I do than a how to. There are lots of different methods and I don't always do the "correct" or best method as it often depends on what is the best approach when considering the factors. Some shortcuts are Ok at times.
I am starting a series on making stuff for shaping metal. I am a group of Great channels, check em out in my Channels list. Even a couple in England.
How did you create that rippled corner for the roof?
With the deep throat shrinker. I did a video on it a while back 👍
Trev how do I get a hammer here in Canada 🇨🇦 cheers Eh
I have actually sold out but hope to get more in stock in a few weeks. Cheers Trev 👍
I can afford all the tools Trev, I just wish I could buy your skills & experience. :D Loved the laser gun HaHa.
I think that much skill and experience is priceless!
Cheers Tony 👍
Grab metal hit it a lot then repeat, get better in 25 yrs....that's it, that's all...........
Just go murder some metal. It’s not that difficult.
Love that tool you made for shrinking. Very clever and great tips as usual.
Trev, good afternoon from Reynosa Mexico.
You make it looks easy, I wonder how many hours and scrapped pieces of steel sheet , took for You to get that amazing expertise.
Where can I get a Trev of my very own? I have a nice shed to keep him in while he's not busy doing all my tin-bashing, not that he will have a lot of free time anyway.
Woohoo mate welcome back!
Hello Trev, just a quick note to say how much I appreciate you and all you do, great content and I have learned so much from you. You are an exceptional person and I so very much enjoy your channel. Wishing you the absolute best, Cody.
Good video, as usual and the talk added at the end was very interesting. I’ve always wondered how you tubers coped with the trolls and detractors and this fellow seemed to have it all worked out. Great advice that we all could apply in our every day lives. Sleep well.
It is a fantastic talk! I believe we walk through life making our own observations and coming to our own conclusions about circumstances events and other people, we have to for survival reasons! For people to observe and remain verbally un-opinionated takes a certain sophistication and emotional intelligence. Unfortunately there are many people that don’t possess this intelligence, there’re not necessarily stupid people, but they see the world the way they are, unaware of the fact that they themselves have formed these opinions. Cheers Trev 👍
Always a pleasure to watch.
The best hair on UA-cam by a mile 👍👍
Hey Trev. I hope that all's well by you. A piece of metal becomes art in your hands! Stay well.
Hey Trev. Brilliant video. Great to see you back. I am in awe of your artistry and skill.
Loved every minute of this video.. thanks Trevor! 😊 Cheers!!
I'm a laughing believer, and I'm not lying. tHanks for the video
(Oh and, I could not do any of what you did).
Thank you 👍
I started watching you because my partner and I grew a business from scratch to 20 rental backpacker camper vans. I realized making my own minor panel repairs was way cheaper and more profitable for us than paying a panel beater /painter so needed some basic tips on moving metal, body filler ,paint etc. You were a one stop shop. And a way Higher standard than was necessary or achievable for me. Thanks Trev. Our little business failed due to Covid. But I still have, and have always had, a passion for handcrafted anything. And love making stuff. Lifes good.
Hey John really sorry to hear this, hopefully there’s something to be salvaged out of this. Cheers Trev 👍
@@trevsblog something will come out if mate. Thanks for the words😀
You do a better job on scrap metal than I get done on a finished project. You've got the Midas touch, mad skills. Love watching you're work very relaxing like watching Bob Ross I think yeah I can do that too. LOL
Hi Trev, Thanks for more help...And spring Lamb is the Wave of future Welding! Cheers!
Awesome 👍 job guys I appreciate all your Tips and Tricks Videos keep up the great build and Work guys,..671Guam
Really good video Trev! There is another U-Tube channel called Throttle Stop Garage, and is worth watching... he is building a Volvo Amazon and hand made all the body panels in carbon fiber, very talented fellow! Happy Trails, Doug
The end is funny, sounds like 40 years worth of condensed charlatans BS, and it wouldn't make any more sense if you heard the long version. Good stuff.
Coach building:
I did a full build on a 29 Chevy back in the 1980s. I found that they butt welded the dash/cowl panels together right in the middle. It looks like they used stick arch welding with a really thin rod, both sides. Then they ground down the top weld and metal finished it so you could not see the seam. This was just primed and painted..no body filler of any kind was used. The bottom weld was left intact.
So I spent quite some time working to duplicate the process with a mig welder. Someday, if I am ever i a shop again, I'll do a video.
This taile cutter how was originally you notified where available? Links please thanks price important for Shriner and to know about much help and models to know exactly what we by help a lote
Ok, Here is why spoons exist.
They are for roughing out very large dents. You have to set up some sort of pulling to the deepest part of the dent. One of my favorites is a suction cup. The kids today love thier glue pulls. it doesnt really matter how, so long as its functional without adding distortion.
Then you use the spoon to tap down the crown as you pull the deep part of the dent up.
Spoons are tools used to strike or spread the blow out from the top of the panel so you limit any additional distortion to the panel. They are for crowns that are larger than the standard body hammer.
Once you have that crown bumped down in size, you switch to your large double ended planishing hammer. Then as it gets smaller, your polished regular body hammer.
As the size of the damage reduces even more, you move to your 1/2 sized body hammers (Chasing Hammers).
The idea is to start with the spoon for the largest stuff, and then reduce the size of your tool, as your panel has smaller and smaller damage to remove. Match the size of the tool, to the size of the damage you are working.
Always find somthing entertaining and inspiring and educational in your blogs, and the speech at the end was great. Nice shirts to.
To me a cold weld is a Sh1t weld that will fail
I understand that one advantage of a backer bar on a welded joint is that it traps shielding gas that passes through the gap.
Will a vacume pull a dent out if it will crush a 55 gallon drum it should work on pulling on out.

I'm sorry but this thumbnail "Here's Johnny"
Thanks Trev, very educational as always. Also, do you think you could you add the Benny Hill music to the high speed spooning? 😂 It would be most appropriate.
or maybe the slapping noise of his little baldy mates head when your using it ! i would soil myself laughing at that, i think you would have to have grown up in that era to understand that like !
Trev, thank you so much for taking time out to make these videos. You are a true craftsman and an excellent teacher. I feel more and more confident about sheet metal fabrication with every "class" you teach.
What that welder you use first time I see please help inform us appreciate
12 look perplexed i am a believer great video by a very talented human lol
HA - can you tell me the brand of COLD WELDER you are using Trev😀 - I want one - HA HA. "...artistic licence..." - HA - you are such a gentleman Trev, the correct terminology is BULLSHIT - HA. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Thanks 😂
I'll take one thing from this , you learn your entire life
Hi Trev, I love to watch your videos and I always learn a lot and practice it on my 2CV restoration.
Thanks a lot and please post more videos!
Btw. where can I find the presentation about presentations at the end of this video?
Search for Jim Rohn a very inspirational speaker 👍
Hi Trev, I laughed and laughed because I know I`m a believer. Thanks for your honest opinions and observations. Your fantastic well thought out Blog is inspirational and both You and your wife's skills are phenomenal.
Regards Scott a fellow ex panel beater from New Zealand
Hey thanks Scott 👍
I love the tig speed welding…🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺😎🍀
thanks Trev, good to see a new blog.
An excellent instructional video on making panels. In support of your method of metal bashing, I would urge you to have a look at the youtube videos by Make it Kustom. in the video titled "How To Tig Weld Thin Sheet Metal - Planishing & Finishing Doors 1939 Zephyr Chopped Coupe Conversion", you will see him do a beautiful, extremely long, joint on a door, that is a thing of beauty. I have learned a lot about working metal from both of you. I'm looking forward to more videos from you.
Thank you “Make it custom” is a fantastic channel 🤩
I learn a new form to do, thanks to show us!!!!
Trev, a silly question with tig on body panels. Tig rods are ER70 as is solid mig wire. Mig wire doesn't planish at all well. Have you used ordinary mils steel gas welding wire as your finish, when tig welding" I am just getting into tig and much is said about wire purity etc. What is your experience?
To be honest I haven’t over analysed it too much. I use mild steel mig wire for TIG welding. I can tell that it’s slightly tougher than if I’d just butt welded without any filler but it’s still miles softer than mig weld. Something some people have done is cut thin strips of mild steel sheet and used that as filler. I try and get my gaps as tight as possible when TIG welding so I’m guessing that most of the joint isn’t filler but mostly parent metal. Cheers Trev 👍
Hi, ive seen your 250gto build video a while ago, what happened to it?
The owner gave up on the project and sold it unfortunately. Cheers Trev 👍
@@trevsblog Thanks for answering, thats very unfortunate :( It was a very fun project to watch. Are you allowed to say what such a project goes for approximately?
@@feelgoodinc611 I think he sold the whole thing for about £2000 👍
@@trevsblog I hope you meant to say 20.000 pounds, for that price i would´ve flown over immediately haha the only one for sale over here is disassambled, missing most parts and costs 15.000€. But regardless, thanks for your content, ill keep watching and enjoying :)
yeahitsmecalmdown laugh no longer £2k... 😕
Hello dear friend Is there a possibility that you can send me your email address to send you some photos of my truck and see if you can give me some advice to make some patches? I send you a greeting from Chile, sincerely your follower Pablo von Sicinsky
My email is in the video description 👍
You would have been in your element working in Coventry amongst some of the best body bashers.
I’m sure I’d have learned a thing or two 😁
Cold welding is just sticking pieces of steel together with chewing gum. No penetration
It was the conclusion I came to but without real evidence to back my thoughts up. Cheers Trev 👍
Excellent stuff 👌
Cute motorcycle pajamas.
Until next time... Bye for now ;-)
Thoroughly loving your videos; I learn so much! Thank you!
You are just fantastic I love your channel
Thank you for all contributions
Thank you for your comment, very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
that presentation at the end was brilliant. help those that want help and bugger the idiot's that want to mock. at the end of the day, just do what ya believe in.
Absolutely! Thank you 😊
Will a vacume pull a dent out if it will crush a 55 gallon drum it should work on pulling on out.
It would depend on the size of the dent. The larger the diameter the easier dent would pull out. The problems faced would be making a tool that could seal to the panel. Another idea could be to make a tool that seals then inject the void with fluid, making it hydraulic, this would have greater power especially on a smaller dent. Cheers Trev 👍
Hi Trev, any chance of you doing any flux Core Gasless out of doors welding, it isn’t always possible to weld indoors when the garage/workshop becomes congested. Also what about Gas Mig/Tig outdoor welding and the problems associated with that, and how to get around this problem by using wind screens etc. Keep safe Trev all the best.

What I like most about your Videos is that I can understand what you're saying! It don't do much good to present a subject that no one can neither hear or understand. That's walking backwards. Thank You! JD
Cool - thank you. This video was very educational and helpful. 👍👍😎👍👍
Videos can wait... family needs are to be addressed as 'Job One'. Thanks for sharing Trev.. Best to You and Yours.
Grind a valley in your Copper….?
We also use a special MIG wire that is Soft.
Without this channel I would be lost with my van project. It's a bunch of rust and I'm virgin fabing things with very primitive tools for it.
Trev make videos of you doing stuff like fixing that steering lock motor. I am absolutely positive more then just me will watch.
Not many metalwork channels also feature Jim Rohn, excellent stuff Trev 👍👏👏
"...Brief an Understandable as possible "- Thats exactly what you do best. Thanks Trev.
Wow good to see you back
I’m a believer Trev.
When I was doing my mechanics apprenticeship back in the Eighties I used to help out an old pommie bloke at work that did his time at one of lord Nuffields factories.
He was all about the knowledge as well.
Keep up the the good work cobber😎👍
Love the hints and tips Trev! It looks like you have a bit of arcing action going on in your neon sign! The letter B! Sorry! I get easily distracted! :)
The explanation around 13:00 minutes absolutely blew my mind. Excellent video as always!
Hay Trev as an afterthought do you know of a blog showing wooden coach building, car body tub / frame building. Thanks.
Take a look at Ron Covel and Proshaper these guys use lots of traditional coach building techniques. 👍
@@trevsblog Thanks for tacking the time to reply. will follow up on your advice.
I’m replacing a dash, firewall and floor in my 73 Holden and had to pause to replace the water pump in my dodge which is part of the timing system, in now then I’ve got to fix my ride on mower which melted its wiring loom when the headlights fell on the exhaust, so I’m hearing ya
Would you treat aluminium the same way with the same spoons etc?
The basic mechanics are the same, the characteristics of the materials are different in that aluminium will mark easier, will be far easier to form but more prone to splitting and work hardening. Cheers Trev 👍
Thanks Trev for sharing your knowledge. I just love your work. Can you show me how you would go about bending over the lip of a door skin, like how to place the dolly etc..
You can only please all of the people, none of the time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with know nothing dorks like me.
Thanks for explaining how the two slappers work. It's good to some more vids from you.
Great video Trev , interesting observations regarding cold welding and i'm not a welder by the way. I thought about buying one of those cold welders but not now !
Some great tips & tricks for me as a part timer .
Thanks once again !
Awesome video again Trev. Maybe one day you can look into mig brazing and those rods you can braze aluminium. Looks like a good alternative for those of us who can't afford a decent tig.
Your tips and tricks have been invaluable during my p6 rover restoration. 👍👍👍👍
A person gets accustomed to their tools , some people have lots others virtually none but both can produce the same product. Bricklayers all say their trowel is best but some Asian people use machetes and it works
Trev I am new to this media but have been watching your videos' and really enjoyed them keep it up mate
as always, great video! excellent demonstration of the spoon and the slapping file!
One thing you are doing Trev, is attracting the elite to your channel...... keep educating us.
Thank you for the fun videos to watch
Thanks for watching 😁
Hello
Where did you buy that stand manual shrinking pice blue one
It was from a company called Metz 👍
@@trevsblog thanks I am looking but this look like China
Wow super work
What a skilled and knowledgeable , metal worker you are Trev , great workmanship on the van , well done.
Thanks for your videos Trev I have been watching for a long time. When I first saw that Bedford bus!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe what you did with it much better than new. I have learnt a lot from you and I recommend you to others big thank you.
Hey thanks 😁

We are in lockdown again. Hopefully getting some new projects in to make life easier.
Great stuff.
Just arc. NO WELD. JUST ARC
At the international welding show I watched the cold weld presses and it was very fast.
Trev's back hope will stay. Cheers mate 🍻
I learn so much from Trev,,,,,, thanks ;¬D
Hi Trev, very nice demonstration mate - looks like your spoons have been custom made? I've got a few spare old files kicking about... might have to give this ago. Cheers, Aaron from NZ.
The smooth one was made from an old file 👍
good video. Ignore the critics Those who cannot tell those who can want to do.
Superb Trev, really good one. Thank you.
I want to see what becomes of your auto shaping machine.
Thanks for all you do. Ef the punters.
