Just came upon your video. Very clean and clear explanation of making your paper pattern, wow it's really nice to see such a craftsman creat design and build meticulous body panels bondo free as if they were newly stamped out of sheet metal and aluminum. For what it's worth, I'm completely impressed. Thank you sir for showing the world time and patience pays off and is something we just don't see anymore
The paper pattern sistem is very well explained and carried out . If beginners follow your instructions they should not have any problems understanding how metal works . WELL DONE !!
Great video, nice to see the crafts have not been lost, don't know anybody that does this hear now, most of the old timers have gone and not many youngsters have the patience to take it up and stick with it.
Your video is the most clear & concise paper pattern video I have watched to date. You explain in very under stable terms & show graphically on the pattern what is to be done. I now have a more clear idea of how a paper pattern is used & the benefits of it. Thanks for posting this & sharing your experience & expertise with us. Take care, Rick
Mike, super stoked so so happy to finally see this in video form as someone who sucks at trying to figure it out over Instagram comments 😅 Like others in the comments hope to see a breakdown of the shaping routine you follow to make the panel and hope to make it out to a shaping class here soon!
From a guy that knows nothing (me) but has watched many videos about this: “Well done!” You kept me very focused and I look forward to follow-up videos.
Great video, very clear and easy to understand, proper layout and keeping the tucks uniform on the pattern was the step I was missing, Thanks for sharing.
Brent at Halfsss Customs considered your channel snd skill's noteworthy so who am i to question such a glowing recommendation, another excellent Canadian Channel.
Awesome video and very clearly explained. It matches the quality of your work and your attention to detail shows why you are an outstanding metal shaper!
You are very good at explaining the process in a way that’s easy to understand I’m new to your channel and looking forward to following all your videos and learning from your teaching methods. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Hey, this was very informative. Very interesting. I've learn to do flexable tape patterns. Have tryed paper pattern with bad success but now I see, I've tryed with too thick paper. Have to get thinner paper and give this another go. Thx.
This is amazing to me--l am just getting into car body work so half the time l have no ideal what l am looking at but you have explained a lot plus taken much of the novice guess work out of the learning process (for me anyway) and that makes a very complicated process understandable. I could actually see a pattern forming in my mind as your explanations are clear.....thanks again for tips on tools and those magnets. 💯 👍🏾 ha!
Love your videos and way of narrating, to the point without a bunch of chatter, makes it much easier to follow along. Do you ever work with wirebucks and have any good techniques for getting a good result from those when transfering to paper?
Very interesting system you have developed. I can see the benefits in that it gives you a set of instructions for how to actually fabricate the panel. A couple things I am not clear on and would appreciate your thoughts -- Thank you: - iI you have to shrink an area how do you quantify the amount of shrink? In your example you put lines for shrinking but did not indicate the degree at the shrinked edge - Are the radius measurements adequate versus making a bunch of profile gauges out of chipboard?
there is not an accurate way to quantify the amount of shrink needed to note. you shrink the area and check it to the car, on a buck or with contour gauges. the radius gauge is more than adequate. if you were to make profile gauges you would essentially doing the same thing that i am doing with my gauge set, except spending additional time making the chip board gauges.
neat to see how you make your patterns. I have seen a few patterning videos and its good to see the slight variation to get ideas what way may work better for me. thanks for sharing.
because i am mimicking what the metal needs to do. a tuck in the paper mimics a tuck (shrink in the metal). I only cut when i need to perform a linear stretch.
Great job, Mike! Well explained and very informative. I have one question. Do you also add registration points to your pattern, so that you put it back in exactly the same place when you are making the panel?
Great video, absolutely enjoyed this. Is there anyway to show how to make this panel with hand tools and your English wheel? I know your very busy and understand if you can't. Thank you for showing this.✌😁
most likely not at this point. most of the stuff i am filming is client work so i have to be as efficient as i can be. If this channel gets to the point of being profitable i might be able to do some stuff that is just for youtube and not client related. i appreciate you watching
I have a question. I don't have any kind of power hammer with shrinking dies. I use a harbor freight English wheel, a stump and hammer/bag. Those roughly 10" lines you have traced for the shrink, I think my instinct would be to maybe initiate the various radius on the wheel, form over my knee, and then lay it over the original panel. Then the various areas the panel is touching I'd add stretch so that the non stretch areas are "shrunk". Is your layout and approach because you have the tooling to do such a large amount of shrink? Sometimes I think of it like playing Tetris....as you lower the sheet onto the shape, if it hits, that needs blocking to stretch out. Hope that makes sense.
my lay out works the same for any approach of shaping technique. you would just have to read the map for your skills and equipment. i focus heavy on shrinking due to having the machinery to accurately shrink large amounts of material. if i didnt i would pattern it the same way, just break my approach differently to work with the tools in have. personally i would stump or tucking fork shrink as much as i could and block the rest up, then blend it all out on the wheel if i did have a power hammer
Great tutorial, at the 17 min mark you outlined a second mark just above the fender lip which I take was the fender lip or flare correct? Would you happen to have a video of you forming that lip/flare. I will search around as well. Again great tutorial, I have no experience and I am slowly buying tools to begin practicing this art. Thank you for your videos!
thanks for watching, i will have more videos in the future showing the process of making this panel as well as many more using the patterns as our guide. so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned
Very cool. I hope we get a part two where you start shaping the panel.
That's the plan!
Yeah
This is an awesome video! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Awesome ! Very informative in your process . I’m surprised you don’t have 1,000,000 subs lol . I’m subscribed !

Aluminum is can be sheet metal too.
Thanks for taking the time to show how you made a map of a part .
thanks, its one of the questions i get asked most so a video was the best route
The paper pattern sistem is very well explained and carried out . If beginners follow your instructions they should not have any problems understanding how metal works . WELL DONE !!
Excellent video, thank you .
Thanks
Nice job, well explained! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching!
I’ve been struggling with paper patterns. This helps a whole bunch. Thanks for laying it out in such detail.
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching
This helped me a lot with marking the shrink and perpendicular to the panel, not radial around the curve as I was seeing it.
Glad it was helpful
Great video, nice to see the crafts have not been lost, don't know anybody that does this hear now, most of the old timers have gone and not many youngsters have the patience to take it up and stick with it.

thanks for watching. I plan to do a video series on the shaping of the pair of these quarters down the road
Great explanation on gathering the information, gets it down to a science, I think.
Glad you enjoyed it

You are so very good at explaining it all thank you
Thanks for sharing, I’m hoping we get to see you make the part you just patterned out.
thanks for watching, plan to do a series on this panel later on
Great job on explaining your method.
Thank you!
Solid video Mike, it’s nice to see others do things. Picked up some good info I can use and adjust my techniques. Thanks bro.
thanks man and thanks for watching
Nice. I can’t wait to see you start making the panel.
thanks, stay tuned videos of shaping the quarter are in the works
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice hope to see a part 2 :)
coming soon. i have a lot in the works and in edit now so might be a bit but there will be a follow up series
Very well explained, by a man who knows what he's doing.
thanks for watching

So much valuable information! It all made such perfect sense. You are truly a master of your craft/art!
thanks for watching
Awesome job Mike, I forgot some of those tip you taught me years ago, thanks for the refresh 👍
thanks man
Thanks Mike, that was very helpful. 👍

Great video. Well done Mike!
Thanks man
Great information👍
Great explanation, it will be interesting to see this pattern transferred to the sheet metal
Great job !
Coming soon! thanks for watching
Excellent video and I hope we are going to see the full build process of this panel 👌🏻
thanks for watching, there will be future videos of making the quarter panels
Great video! Keep em coming.
thanks for watching. lots of video ideas in the works
Great demonstration and explanation on your process. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, looking forward to your future videos.
Thanks for watching! and stay tuned for more
Awesome video thank you very much for explaining this it’s going to help me build my COE from raw material please keep video’s coming
thanks for watching
Crazy how that diamond pattern popped.

Great info...look forward to seeing some more!
More to come!
Great video
`Very clear detailed video. Is there a reason why you didn't cut vertical lines where the tucks were needed and tape them?
because i am mimicking what the metal needs to do. a tuck in the paper mimics a tuck (shrink in the metal). I only cut when i need to perform a linear stretch.
Great job, Mike! Well explained and very informative. I have one question. Do you also add registration points to your pattern, so that you put it back in exactly the same place when you are making the panel?
Nothing extra, all the lines and markings i put on the panel allow me to line it back up later as needed

@Cornfield Customs thanks for considering it. Ultimately I knew it was a long shot but you don't know unless you ask. Thanks again Mike. ✌️😁
Good video thank you
thanks for watching
Good Video . When making the panel , are you going to make contour gages off the old panel ? Thanks
Not on this panel. Its a simple enough panel to just use sweeps and standard radius gauges.
I have a question. I don't have any kind of power hammer with shrinking dies. I use a harbor freight English wheel, a stump and hammer/bag. Those roughly 10" lines you have traced for the shrink, I think my instinct would be to maybe initiate the various radius on the wheel, form over my knee, and then lay it over the original panel.

I was hoping you would do a paper pattern tutorial 👍🏻
Thanks for watching. There will be many more pattern videos to come
22:13, link to radius gauge?
You mentioned "sweeps". What is that?
A sweep is essentially a large countour gauge that are individually graduated by inches of rise
I think a seamstress would make a good metal shaper They already know the basics.
Nice Video.

Paper is cheaper and cuts down a lot of work and measurements
