    Trev, good on you for not selling out like some other content providers have done. I admire your ethical approach. Great graphical demonstration of the physics at work during the shrinking process.

    Thank you for explaining the 'doughnut' effect. I have one of those nasty sharp dents in my car and even though I don't have a fancy spot weld puller, the knowledge will help me massage the dent out more effectively. I love to learn new things. Also, thank you for understanding about those who can't donate. I sometimes feel a bit guilty because I am not a patron, especially to some of the channels that talk a lot about how wonderful their patrons are, but I am a pensioner and every bit of my money must go to keeping me going. If I had the means, I would be donating to many of my favourite channels, one of which is yours of course. Cheers.

      @trevsblog  5 років тому +4

      Pauline Hunter as said donations are helpful but not expected. Please don’t feel guilty about anything, just by watching commenting and subscribing to UA-cam channels you are already helping the content creator in many ways. My primary objective is to help as many people out as possible and UA-cam gives me the platform to be able to do it. I’ve watched many videos myself and it’s helped me out immensely. Cheers Trev 👍

    • @PaulinesPastimes
      @PaulinesPastimes 5 років тому +1

      Thank you. Much appreciated. I have fond memories of a late model Bedford CA van. It belonged to a friend and several of us went on an ill-fated camping holiday that didn't eventuate because of a broken windscreen on the way. Driving in cold rain with no windscreen was not fun. Great van though. Cheers.

Grate guy wish he was around when i was a aprent wouldn't have had to duck so much when you make the mistake all people do when learning and the tool use to get thrown by the boss young guys now are lucky for work cover

    I'm amazed that this channel only has 36k subs as I feel it's one of the best D.Y.I. channels there is for body repair. I believe you to be a sheet metal artist and a gifted master body man. I've learned more from your channel in a year than from the previous 35 years of doing bodywork. Thank you very much for your brilliant instruction!

    @chrisbenn8691 5 років тому +3

    What a great video Trev. Fixing up my Kombi I've also had to pull up dents that can't be accessed from the back, particularly around the swage line next to the windows. Having a stud welder like that is something I always want to add to my kit but never seems to happen. Keep up the videos as your able, not let others corrupt you!

    Hi Trev. I have just binged out on your Pods. I have run my own repair workshop for over 40 year and have often kicked myself fo some of my quirks-it’s nice to see one of the best doing the compromises that we all have to make.You said in one of them that your mig. Torch stays live, l have the same mig as you and there is a coil of loose coil of earthing wire between the the aluminium mounting plates that hold the large bank of capacitors.
    I tried to to get a replacement but had no luck so finding an element from an old electric fire l un wound a bought eight coils and that has worked
    Now for years.PLESE MAKE SURE YOU EARTH OUT THE CAPACITORS BEFORE CHECKING.l hope this helps. Many thanks. Robin.

    Love that you are staying true to your subscribers.. this is exactly the information I come to UA-cam for!
    Thanks Trev! Cheers Mate!!

    Until I found your channel I thought sheet metal work required a building full of heavy tools. Now I can consider it a realistic possibility to do the body work on my own cars.
    You're a gentleman and scholar. Thank you for giving away your knowledge for free. Is there a way for fans who are willing to throw a few dollars your way?

  • @colinstables
    @colinstables 5 років тому

  • @johncooper7242
    @johncooper7242 5 років тому

    very timely video for me thank you Trev .
    What still amazes me is the opportunity for us to learn a lifetimes of a craftsmans experience and skills in as little as an hours video.
    I have been repairing my classic cars since 1968 and this sort of information was never available before. There wer'nt any DIY bodywork books you could buy and where would anyone have the opportunity to watch and learn from a local body shop !...When I think about some of the repairs I have done over the years due to ignorance and having no money ...I cringe.

  • @moltopericoloso
    @moltopericoloso 5 років тому

    Great track for the outro! As for the rest of it....well, it's up there with the very best in my book. Spot-on techniques backed by generous quantities of solid, in-depth info (some would say 'straight as a die' ). Thanks Trev, I always learn something useful and nothing that's steered me in the wrong direction. Keep up the good work.

    HinTrev , I have been watching lots of your videos and just like to say, top man 👍. I have been self taught over the years doing loads of projects but learnt so much from your videos and also had confirmed by you what I have learnt the hard way by trial and error, so would have been easier if I had watched all your videos years ago had they have been there 😂. I would also like to commend you for a UA-cam gold medal for wanting to keep in the spirit of UA-cam and the internet by not jumping on the ' let's get greedy bandwagon' and sharing your knowledge to those who need it rather than those who can afford it 👍. Keep up the good work Trev , thanks for the videos mate , much appreciated 👌👌👌 ,Mick

    Trev, you are not only incredible in what you' re doing but you are also a great guy. Another little tip from me is not to use a too long extension cord with the dent puller, because it causes a huge power drop at the tip of the puller. Thank's for the Videos!

    What a guy, they don't make em like you anymore Trev. You are an inspiration.
    I've got a VW T4 caravelle which I will be attempting to emulate your skills on. I'd be happy to get halfway to your skills.
    If you have time could you please show how you would deal with a sharp crease which has no access for a dolly. Would you cut out & weld a new patch or do you have any magical methods up your sleeve? My problem is a side loading door with a sharp crease on the edge & a strengthening flange behind stopping rear access. Regards Tony
