On this episode of The Fab Forums I highlight the Dimple Dies set.
Welcome to The Fab Forums. My name is Kyle Voss and I produce Custom Motorsports Fabrication content of all forms for you. Carbon Fiber, TIG Welding, Metal Shaping, Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Custom Choppers, and everything in between. I work hard to bring you new content on a weekly basis.
Here are some of the builds you can find on this channel.
I have built several Chevy trucks on this channel. The first was my 1964 C10 named Crown Spoyal and the most recent C10 truck project was the 1969 I currently have named the Black Pearl.
I am also finishing up a custom twin turbo Ford Mustang build I call the Gray Goose. It’s a 400 cubic inch Windsor style engine with twin 70mm turbos. I am hoping to make around the 1000 horse power mark to the tires on this particular build.
Last but not least is the one off custom hot rod build called the Bibbster. This is what I call a modern day hot rod. It’s made from an old Ford Mustang foxbody, but made to look like an old school open wheeled hot rod.
I also feature other fabricators and shops like Cutworm Specialties hand formed aluminum wide body kit for a BMW e46. Jeb Greenstone has also built a twin turbo, coyote powered model A style hot rod from scratch, and is currently building a Toyota TE72 wagon drift car powered by a 1UZ Lexus v8. Jeb’s custom fabrication skills are fun to watch and always make for good videos.
Check out my playlist to see some or all of these builds.

Thank you for not flooding your videos with advertisements.
welcome.....I think
The Fab Forums was randomly watching some other videos, and they had 3 or 4 ads thru the video, I just closed the video n called it a loss lol
Am I the only one that notices that no matter how many likes there are for any one of these videos there is always generally 10-25 dislikes. Seems to be a small group of envious haters with nothing better to do than to make it their mission to dislike every video on the fab forums. Anyway thanks Kyle for your effort and time to produce these videos. Regardless of each others differences in style or preference. Keep up the awesome work.
Yes! You're right! *Proceeds to buy one quickly*
Nice as soon as my spindle get back from having the taper reground I am making me a set of those on my mill. I have a ton of scrap steel and this would be good to test the spindle on once its re-installed. Though I'm not going to make a full set. Just one pair. If I need a full set I will just buy one.
The quality of these videos is always great. I remember looking at dimple dies a while ago but most were only rated to 12 or 14 ga I think, where 1/8 is more like 10 ga. If they work, they work though. Just moved to michigan myself though, so have to find a workspace!
I understand that tool, hi Kyle! good to see you again...
Hey Kyle. Those dimple dies are great tools and give results to match.👍 Not that it matters, but I've got that same HF press.😆 We've all got the crud, too.😩😷 Hope you feel better soon, man.
Estas herramientas le dan un buen acabado al trabajo. Saludos y gracias por mostrar las herramientas.
I think you should call the bibbster a foxrod. Start a trend!
Trent Borgersen dammit I thought I had that idea. 40 minutes late.
+James Blond lol
+Trent Borgersen Yeah I like it
Count me in for this too!
Catchy, I like it.
Nice video production quality! I enjoyed learning about those tools.
Thanks
Kyle, I got a couple of things. First, that set of Dimple Dies for around $200 sounds like a good deal. Second, now that I'm spending all my money on more cool tools I cant afford to spend a lot on a really big tool box! But I see at Harbor Freight you can purchase there 72" for around $999. On Sale Now! I know what people will say, but I believe these boxes should last my life time with proper care and handling. Have you ever thought of doing a review on Tool Boxes? You know you have to put all those Cool Tools in a Cool box! Lol Last of all I also think "The Bibster Foxrod" sounds good! Once again thank you for you time and videos.
+Romanm1957 Yeah o have looked at those HF boxes a ton of times and I would be against buying one my self. Gonna wait till the new shop is built though.
I have two of the 44” and one 18” drawer unit I built a workbench out of. Killer setup.
I thought we would be served by a nice demo... Lacking details, like materiel thickness range.
I have that exact set I dimple died a 2.5" hole in .188 ss plate I just heated it to pretty darn hot with rose bud first worked just fine my press is a 20 ton also did it just fine
Noticed you’ve gotten away from the Eastwood stuff, I know they have a plethora of stuff and enjoyed your choices of their products. I’d hope that maybe they could help you out in the future and that maybe your relationship with them is still good. Great videos as always and like always I enjoy your perspective on what to use to reach your goals. Maybe @irontrapgarage and you can get together in the future on the bibster, Matt has a very good eye with where you’re headed. Keep the content rolling sir and hope you feel better.
Hey thx for the cool videos. Can’t wait to see the hot rod build come together. I like the cantilevered suspension ride height idea but I would probably make a lockout for going down the road so it cannot drop if a line or something was to fail. I know it’s probably highly unlikely but it would put my mind at ease. Also if the pump should fail, no doubt at the most inconvenient time lol, it could still be raised up with a jack to ride height and locked. Just my two cents worth lol. Thx again.
+jeff edison Yeah i plan to do something
The Fab Forums I kinda figured you probably were but thought I’d put it out there just in case.
Those would be sweet for making gauge clusters.
Nice video, like always. Sorry your sick, I came down with the flu too. And it's been killing me to get my videos filmed. Started them last week and half way through I'm sick as a dog lol. Hope you get better, and I'll see you in Austin TX!
thanks....see ya in Austin
I personally think The Bibster Fox-Rod sounds good
+James Blond I agree
Harbor Freight press for the win!
+fuzzy wuzzy lol...Yeah
I could use the small ones to make a really nice finger box.
is the 2" die going to be a 2" ID hole after flaring or larger because of the flare ? Just thing that if it expands it larger i might be able use it to make a custom gauge pod with a raised look
Where can I buy a 6mm hole dimple or punch and flare?
Have you done a bunch of flairs/beads, with eastwoods, on a panel yet? I did on a 24x48, 20 ga, and it warped a bunch. What's the best method to pre stretch the metal throughout the panel that size? Drill the pilot hole first or punch the hole before pre stretching?
+moptop85 yeah i havent jad any issues. I dod make a hydro adapter though.
still trying to get a set of eastwood punch and flare dies from another Friday fool tool...been out of stock since forever.
I like the intro enough that I say is Friday fool you need this tool the same time he says it
Cool!!!!!!!! Subscribed.
thanks....welcome
Never miss it fool. Cheers
For those larger dies. Have you tried heating up the section then pressing it?
I have not
I thought you already did a video on dimple dies? The ones that cut the holes for you and dimple all at once. Edit: commented before I watched the video lol you explained that in the beginning. My bad lol.
lol
Fools, I have that tool. Made myself a set on my 40 inch lathe. If you value your time I'd buy a set for the prices shown. It would be nice though if they'd make the depth of the 45 degree roll the same on all the dies shown. You can keep the depth the same on various sized dimples by the depth you press the die in but in thinner guage steel or aluminum you'll want to bottom the die to remove some of the warp you get from the procedure of dimpling.
if i want a 60mm hole once the edges are folded down, should i drill at 55mm?
Curious at what point sheet steel becomes plate steel. Is there an official crossover point / thickness?
would this work on steel used for building a bulbar with
i got this tool :)
awesome
Never seen a punch and bead before. Do you know which is stronger the bead or the dimple?
Theoretically a pressed bead should be stronger. Think about the shape of the bead, verses and open edged dimple (in a like for like situations) with a bead you have two faces that have extended into the third dimension, whereas you only have one with a dimple. Problem is you probably won't be able to get a bead as deep as a dimple because you have to stretch the metal further and it would require infinitely more pressing force.
I think I'm going to go with the set from SWAG OFFROAD they are a bit more but they have a smaller hole so you can use them after the fact. Say you have something already built and can't get it in your press.
+John Gray how do you plan to press it....a bolt won't do it when dimple dieing plate steel. If you just plan to do sheet metal I would go with some punch and flare units.
I agree, I think material thickness and hole diameter should have a lot to do with it. Still can be used in the press same as the other dies to. Just thought it would be another option.
If I were to machine a set what metal would you say use? Something like EN8 steel ? And advice will be nice
+charlie brown not very knowledgeable about allows but I would use the toughest you bave5
4140 would be plenty and no need to heat treat. You can pick up cut off tails on eBay for hardly anything
Are they steel?
I made most of Mine .7500, 1", 1.5" and 2" just because I had some time and wanted to try it, but bought the .500 die. Couldn't have made it for the $18 it cost to buy.
+Steve Polhill yeah prices have come way down....hard to justify building them. At least for me
The Fab Forums Yeah when I made mine they wanted 600+ for the set, and I really didn’t want some of the larger sizes. But now it only makes sense to buy them. Sadly just like everything else the cheaper ones are Chinese.
I highly doubt they use tungsten or even tool steel for these!
Are you going to make your seats and use them dies
+theTIVANshow yeah thats some of the plan
Did the new shop space fall through? Maybe I missed it or i am thinking of something else.
+mnbickford Yeah there were roof leaks they didn't want to fix so I backed out. Building one now
mnbickford he mentioned in a video somewhere awhile back. He passed on the deal. He’s staying at his home Shop for now
Make it Extreme just made that tool.
The price isn't bad
they have come down for sure
Amazing vid. Thank you....Need to borrow your shop to build my race/street/magazine car. Kidding. And not
what kind of car will that be
The Fab Forums 83 camaro but i want it to be a wide tire autocross type
When you gonna make a cantilever beam clone and test its strength on the press??
+blindabinda123 probably never
The Fab Forums that's too bad. Would make for a good video. And would show people exactly how strong yours are.
Bummer Dude, they Don't make those for 1/25th scale models,,God Bless All
Damn you are right I need that tool send a set lol
friday
boom
keep it simple guy's. use dimple dies
Nevermind I asked my question to soon lol.
I need this shit to immediately air seal the hole I punch in my pressure sensitive vapor chamber.
Thanks for the tour of the various types of dimple/punch dies!

Oh my god no, where's your hat?
+Luuksen lol
I thought it was a guest appearance from his twin brother 😂
You can buy a lathe and make your own for less that what a set costs lol
lol...a set was like $200 ....the tool steel alone would be a lot of that.
Some things you should just buy what you need.
Every decent full set I have seen has been 5-600$, I'll agree 200 is a killer deal if they're any good
Pro Menace Gaming I'll take a look for you when I get home from work, you can grab a used bench top for 4-500$
Used Lathe for 4-$500 plus cost of tool steel and then for some, learning how to use a lathe properly..... That is already more than what you said a decent set costs. I don't see how you are making them for cheaper?
You can make these on a mill too but yeah any good mill is going to cost you 50k plus the same goes with any lathe. Now you can get manual ones for less or go straight up china garbage for way less (think grizzly or tormach) but either way you are still going to spend way more money than its worth. Although if you already have a mill or lathe and happen to have enough left over steel from a customer job then might as well just cut em. the 5 minutes it takes to mill out a set is faster than any trip to the store :D
