I am a coded welder from lincolnshire, stumbled across one of your videos and now watching the back catalogue. Interesting vids with nice explanations. Subbed.
Great to have you with us!
Making something hard look easy, No fancy explanation's just lots of skill and experience. Nice on mate.
Thanks 👍
No doubt , I’m a body guy and it motivates me to use less and less filler for worthy cars !
Yes, i agreed
when you wear the helmet but just close your eyes instead
epic fail
I was gonna suggest an auto darkening helmet for xmas. Otherwise spot on fabrication from a true craftsman.
Yea a lot of boilys do this ahahaha
Or, alternatively - when you've got enough welding experience you can do it with your eyes closed!
Yeah not only can you still burn your corneas through your eyelids. Eyelids also provide no protection against shrapnel. Only dust protection.
When you make something thats really really hard look this eazy, thats when you know your a pro. Great video mate!
Thanks Richard!
Love watching not only a master of is trade but also obsessed with restoring, modifying, driving well anything that has wheels n a engine lol.
Yep that's Ash alright!
Just found your channel . Looks like you do great work . I’ll be watching more of your videos .
Awesome, let us know what you think!
You can tell this man has a lot of experience and failures. Incredible craftsmanship and teaching. Thank you for the upload!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a thickness of sheet metal?
I always like true quality metal repairs instead of bondo repairs... Thumbs Up
Cheers Gary

Thanks 👍
Great work. Thank you for sharing your skill. I learned a lot.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting! The time flew by! I don't weld, but hoping to get into it and play around with some metal soon. Looking forward to your other videos.
Glad you enjoyed it - keep up the good work!
That's some quality work right there
Thanks!
Bro be straight up closing his eyes He’s a OG
Nothing like old school!
This guy is a savage. Well done mate!
Cheers Bruce!
Like the calendar above the workbench..hahahaha. Great video! Thank you.
Good evening, great video. Lots of expertise and creativity. And you don't use a building full of high dollar equipment. I do like the use of the gilbo sheet metal snips. They really have a precise ability to do fine cutting. Thanks and you take care. Good luck.
Thanks for the comment Steve, glad you enjoyed it! Stick around, we've lots more!
thank you!! I don't even weld or fabricate but NOW I really want to! haha! enjoyed the video!
Ha! Glad you enjoyed it - give it a go!
Very cool to watch. A master and very detailed
Thanks, appreciate your comment!
Big gash on his hand, no big deal! Keep at it. Separating the men from the boys! I love it. Metal work isn’t for everyone!
Nah, just a flesh wound!
Getting ready to do this on the rear door on my 57 Chevy 4 door hardtop.
Good luck!
Great work ol scout, I’ll be watching for more tips and tricks so I can do my projects
Thanks! If you want us to make a video about anything specific which may help then let me know!
thank you, absolute mine of useful information
You're very welcome - stick around there's lots more!
I could follow most of it as I've done some welding at the body shop thats a nice neat tool 8:58 he used to space out the lip to fold skin around underhood.
Close your eyes and it’s “Michael Caine presents…” 😛
Great content !
Ha, awesome!
It's funny, as i've worked with metal over the years and always listened n learned as much as possible from pro's with more years in the game, they explain it like metal is a breathing creature more akin to wood with grains and crystals. lol. Metallurgy is quite an art.
You're right. And in the right hands metal appears to be incredibly flexible, pliable and adaptable.
hmm. metallurgy is a science, and the majority of metal workers don't have the first clue about it.
I so wanted him to say, "Toyt like a tiger".
😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant ... Loved the video and learned so much!!!!
Glad you liked it - stick around, we've lots more!
Thank you for the wisdom!
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely be careful with those fingers! I just barely nicked one and pretty sure that wheel could take it off like nothing. Your video is helpful. Thank you! :)
I totally felt like I was in school awesome work
Thanks 🙏
I have been watching your videos for some time now and like the way you shoot them, I love they way he can turn his hand to any job with such a high level of knowledge & experience but always with common sense approach, I try to do the same with my videos but i don‘t have anybody to film them for me lol, I would love for you both to take a look at a few of mine and let me know what you think, Cheers Dave
Hey Dave thanks for watching and I'm glad you're enjoying what we do. Will be sure to check out your channel!
Excellent Work!!
Thanks a lot!
Man took a chunk from his knuckle and said... Alrighty we'll move onto the curve
It's just a flesh wound!
@@theworkshopuk nothing some tape and a paper towel can't fix!
Great video! Any idea where those hand shears come from?
A good stong magnet will get all those tiny metal splinters out of your eye there Mate!
Talent you have sir !! Thanks for the upload
Thanks, that's much appreciated. Stick around we've lots more!
Love the calender
Thanks for the tips getting ready to takle some swiss cheese on my fifty dodge pick up overly excited to get into it tryingnto retain as much information as i can before starting
Awesome, good luck with the dodge and let us know how you get on!
This is great work I really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it - stick around we've lots more!
I learned the hard way. Take your time and spot weld it. Cool it off with air. It doesn't take a lot of heat to warp the metal a lot way up from the welding spot. I hope I learned anyway.
Awesome work mate !
Thanks!
So old school mastery.. awesome shit 💘
IMO patch panels on those old 18 or 16 gauge cars are easy compared to the 20 gauge or 19 gauge VW ones. they warp so much easier.
Keep a close gap with each tack it will want to close up so grind it almost flush and hammer and dolly the weld to stretch it back out the gap will open back up again use that as a reference rinse and repeat all the way along as you tack make sure your flush then come back and fill the gaps 5 tacks at a time grind and hammer and dolly again then planish until finished once you learn to stretch the shrunk weld area back out heat isn't an issue either because you can stretch it back out so you can move much quicker.
Absolutely mustard mate 👌
Cheers Craig!
Excellent teacher.
Thanks!
The lid can come down on the helmet you know 🤣 cheers for the info never the less mate
Ah that's what it's for!
My vehicle has rust near the sunroof metal is gone I might try to tackle this job,I do tacks at work mothing more than that so hopefuly it comes out good
Bloody awesome that ..
Cheers Tom!
Awesome!! Great job
Thank you! Cheers!
The first 5 seconds is enough for me
Me too...
Good work and Good welding tech !!! We also have rich experience in sheet metal fab, we are a strong manufacturer in China, with high quality and competitive price.
Well done! Wondering though, what's with the calendar image at 2:54 😁
Standard workshop materials...
Nice job 😊
Thanks!
Hi, sir your work is really amazing 👏 . Sir I have question can we make our own car design I mean car outer metallic body with all appropriate tools and machines
Compound bends are the hardest to make. Yes you need to shape them first or pie or slit cut and weld up the corners to release the stress and weld up the cuts.
@11:01 got a cut on the thumb, really important to wear safety gears, I know it can sometimes obstruct the workmanship, but the mastery skill will be gone if unable to practise his skills anymore! Take care!
My old dad always refers to those as "blood offerings" to the car gods that guarantee a successful repair
The welding hood is only there in case the boss comes past "oop yeah I forgot just this once"
He's a law unto himself!
Outstanding
Thanks!
Great video yeah
Thanks!
Wears the welding helmet as a helmet instead of as a faceshield, and never heard of gloves. Brave soul, with great results.
This video screams 25+ years experience just seeing how he just casually (or at least seemed like it) cut and shaped the metal. Also what dolly set are you using, looking to buy a good set. Great video and awesome editing to make it flow.
Ash answered your question in this weeks episode - ua-cam.com/video/LXRoZKGbEsc/v-deo.html
Totally new to this stuff.
Where do I find someone who does this stuff and who can give me help with a job?
Ash answered your question in this weeks video ua-cam.com/video/5hsiMeO-eLI/v-deo.html
Really nice hand craft! What's the thickness of the plate (in mm please) your are working with?
I once saw our instructor use copper or some non ferrous metal at times then cover gaps created by blow through; he'd go back over them with that material and the weld would sit nice and flush, didn't stick to the scrap either. even acted as a heat sink.
Good work, pls can you explain the type of welding, is it mig or tig?
Where can a guy get an awesome pair of sheers like ones you were using ??
I think he is still trying to close that wound with a sheet metal patch . So kiddos do not work with grinders or any sheet metal tools with out any PPE I been working with sheet metal for 28 years and it will send to the ER every time you slip up ! You are a master of your craft Sir .
Artist
Master real!!
welding from either ends towards the center is not good, your panel will have a huge hump by the time you get to the middle. stay in the same direction. spread out small welds, use a blow gun where it gets a bit hot. very nice work, could just be a little different with the heat spreading and avoid bad warps
I think it’d be easier to flick the helmet down than squint that hard... lol. Great vid
Good call, couldn't agree more!
Jeez mate ! How many times have you had "arc-eye" ????
Great craftsmanship old school very talented impressed work is amazing
Will eventually will wind up seeing an eye doctor fir surgery as well as a skin doctor for melanoma skin cancer
Safety glasses gloves and just put the helmet down or get an auto darkening helmet
You are quite right and it's something that I remind him about all the time.
15:27 weld from the outside edge to the inside to avoid that keyhole, the heat had nowhere to go
True Takumi = Craftsmen
Welding like this is vey easy and I do it too.. Although you will be increasing your skin to the harmful arc rays...
What type and where did you get your tin shears?
Ash answered your question on this weeks episode! ua-cam.com/video/HPNa9aCgj-M/v-deo.html
Didn’t take long for Safety Sally to show up.
Safety is the word ...
I thought grease was the word?
I like the way you do your thing. I'm pity you Sir. Please take extra precautions in the future.
so the helmets there incase the inspecta comes along? i also enjoyed the precision measuring instrument to scribe your lines, I just started welding and fabricating in my garage, and i practice better safety than this.
Cool story
This video should be called 'how to injure yourself when welding'. Holy safety batman.
❤❤❤❤Very well 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Squinting, with a weld mask on the head flipped up. 😂
Wow, killer talent
Thanks!
Id put some rust protection on before folding that edge..
I think he knows what he is doing.
So what is the helmet for?
Its for welding, when welding the light is extremely bright and can severely damage your eyes without that helmet.
Bravo

No welding gloves while welding or grinding (resulting in a ground thumb) and a safety squint? Never understood the aversion to PPE...
it's all about the machismo. same reason he won't put a plaster on his thumb. same reason people refuse to wear face masks during a pandemic.
@@daos3300 rubbish, he knows the risks and is willing to take them, not his responsibility to be a ppe role model.
masks don't do shite in an overreaction pandemic
@@daos3300 “same reason people refuse to wear face masks during a pandemic.”
No, it’s because they are stupid and making people sick. If the mask works and you have one on, then mind your own damn business and leave others who aren’t mask wearing sheep alone.
Fixed it for ya.
Why where a welding helmet if you’re going to use it. Grinding and welding without safety glasses?
He will make an ophthalmologist a lot of money eventually. Great skill but such a cavalier attitude to eye safety. I see cataracts in his future if a penetrating injury from the grinder doesn't get him to surgery earlier.
You are quite right and it's something that I remind him about all the time.
