I grew up in a bodyshop picking my step dad's brain and not once have I understood "hammer on dolly off"....I'm 34 lol and I understood your wanting it to be a leverage point instead of an avil.....in 5 minutes of the video🤯🤯 you're a heck of a teacher man!
I've watched a lot of body shows here ,and not 1 has even mentioned the ting you get when hammering out dents as you did. Never have they said to stop at that point. Wow I've learned something today ,and I've always said if you learned at least 1 something in a day. You have not wasted a day. Thanks!
That’s awesome to hear Robert! We’re happy to hear you learned something new and find our videos helpful! Have a great day!
Agreed! I excited to try it out, with new knowledge!
You're good with a dolly but you don't know how to use vise grips

You tell em big hozz!!

Never thought I'd watched an entire video & subscribed to another man hammering metal and actually enjoyed it. #salute
Yes! I'm currently binge watching all of this great content. I've been scavenging flea markets and garage sales for a few years and have come across many tools for metal work.
As an older guy with ringing ears, you should be wearing ear plugs. You're still young and you won't know you've damaged your hearing with all that banging until it's too late. Thanks for the video, great work
Thanks so much man and you’re totally right I wasn’t wearing any protection here and I normally do. You definitely won’t see that again
Mid 40's here. I almost always wear hearing protection. My hearing still tests out to around that of somebody in their late teens early twenties. Hearing protection pays off. Eye protection on the other hand. I use it all the time and I still need glasses to read the fine print ;-)
Worked as a machinist making aircraft rivets on cold heading machines back in the 70’s , the shop supplied cotton for our ears back then. Didn’t help to much I guess because I also have considerable ringing and hearing loss. Seems like nowadays my favorite word is WHAT.
@@GeorgeMcKinley. Yeah your ears took a literal beating.
@@MakeItKustom That is definitely good advice. I lost half the hearing in my right ear a short time ago due to someone not closing the inner door at a gun range (before I had put on hearing protection). I lost half my hearing in my left ear due to surgery as a teenager. My hearing is really weird now, left ear hears midrange to high range and the right hears midrange to low range. I have a private pilots license and had to go through extra testing to get my license recently. You don't know what you have until you loose it. Also, I think that eye protection would be a good idea. When we are young e think we are invincible.
Not just a great craftsman, you have a real skill in explaining things well, and demonstrating. Without a big ego. You are doing great. Please keep making these videos
I'm Deaf so the chance of me going to a sheet metal working class isn't in the future so I'm relying on U tube to teach myself. I am so glad i found your channel, you teach and explain in a normal everyday way plus you go into more detail than other channels I've watched. Please keep up the great videos. look forward to them.
Awesome Scott thank you for watching I’m glad that you find the videos helpful we will keep making them!
when Karl talks about the hammer hitting the dolly and makes a ring noise ,, you can also feel that in the dolly .. I have trouble hearing but I am learning metal work .. but it you try it on scrap metal you will learn how it feels ..
I've learned more from this 24 minute video than I ever expected. Great presentation skills.
That’s so great to hear Rob I love it!
Ive learned a lot from watching your videos, you're a great teacher 👊🏿@@MakeItKustom
Gotta say, I'm learning a lot from your videos and not least of all, how to be a decent human. So knowlegable, yet so humble.
I don't know exactly how I got here. ...I'm a software developer LOL. ...don't work on cars at all but I was searching on some things about a repair. People are just amazing. This was interesting as hell and I have mad respect for guys who know how to do stuff like this.
The length of a video is not an issue as long as critical information is being taught. Please continue. 👍❤
Will do! Appreciate it
I learn something every time I watch one of ur videos. Thanks
It's so nice to see a young man developing old world craftsman skills. Most everyone today would replace it with a new cheaper quality part or smear a shovel full of body filler over it. Good job Dude!
Great work fella. A panelbeater myself since Aug 74. That’s a tough repair. Like the sand bag to help the bonnet from bouncing around. Cheers from Perth WA 🦘🇦🇺
Cheers man I appreciate that coming from a guy like you! Thank you so much
This is an excellent video Karl. The one thing I would suggest is working out the damage more in stages Specifically, if you had done some of the straightening on the sides earlier it probably would have made it easier to get the nose to close up. Some of the length that was taken up by the right side being bent was pulling the front open. I usually work all around a panel a little at a time. That seems to make everything a bit easier and it can ease some of the stress on the metal. Another thing I would mentions is, dents do not only stretch metal, they also cause shrinkage. That's one of the mysteries of dent repair. I have 50 years of experience doing this. I really like your approach. I wish I had some of your energy. Good Job!
This is such an incredible art. I didn’t know something like this could be fixed.
Looking forward to part 2. You’re feeling me with confidence to fix the huge shipping dent in my 3 window trunk. THANK YOU 😊
I've watched this video four or five times over last 18 months and still love it -- I just keep on coming back to review and learn.
Karl you are a magician .... not just with metal but also with your ability to communicate so well - sorry I missed you in Australia recently.
Cheers, Steve!
Lots of great tips here! I really like the "take what you've got" approach. The clamp twist was a really good one. Don't know why I never thought about that. 👍
I really like how you walk through what your thinking as you make the repair. This is really helpful. Great videos!
Thanks so much Randy! Glad you found it helpful!
Karl, you are a very good teacher. I have watched this several times in the past months. I pick up something new every time.
I really enjoyed this video! As an amateur body work guy, it was nice to see the actual work being done! I subscribed because you did a great job!
Enjoy your low key style with helpful real world tips ,Keep them coming .Thanks
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You have given me the motivation and confidence to keep going on my project.
You make every job with so much passion, everything look like easy to do.. Good luck and don't change
So glad your channel popped up on my feed 😃. I’m learning so much watching your videos . They’re a real help with the restoration of my beat up Saab 96 here in the uk 👍🏻
Awesome James I’m glad to hear there of some help! There’s a lot of great info on UA-cam and I’m happy to contribute what I can
Thanks for the content. I banged out a few dents here and there before UA-cam was around. Need to do some finer work and am glad you were suggested to me. I have a full year to catch up on from this video. Looking forward to it.
This is the man to teach you how to do it properly.
Best explanation on the net clear understanding with visuals. Good work.
Happy to hear a part 2.
I'd love and hope we are going to see the heat shrink on this one...
Great video Thank you
Man, watching you restoring a panel is so pressure-relieving!
WOW. I am amazed! I am going to attempt to re shape my bent pieces in a patio cover. Thank you!
I gotta say your do a really good job of explaining the hows and whys in your videos, I'm 35 and I've been wrenching my whole life, I'm just getting into body work and for now I have pretty limited tooling. Your videos are informative and engaging, Really appreciate the work your doing and you'll be saving me a load of money on my car projects.
Your content and the love you put into your work is amazing! This is the only account that I follow that I sit and watch the whole thing in entirety.
This guy is great at explaining the finer points/secrets of doing this type of work! Thank you!!!
You’re so welcome man! Pretty tough to learn the stuff when I was younger
40,41 Willy’s coupes and trucks are my favorites for a hot rod. Love watching you bring original metal back. Kept my attention throughout the whole video and that’s not easy to do.
Right on man I’m glad you like the content! Those coops are among my favourite cars as well
Excellent videos! Great teaching skills combined with "can do" attitude. Thank you.
Could watch this guy for ages...total craftsman...have a 41 Ford hood that is very similar, so this will help out heaps..
Man you really explained this great I learned a lot from this video, so thank you for taking the time to share this with your viewers!!
You’re so welcome man! I’m enjoying making these
thank you for your videos. I’m fixing up an old tractor and the hood has a few dents. after watching a few of your videos I tried it out myself and hammered out some dents!! woo hoo!!
Great info I'm doing some repairs on an old holden ute. Your helping me so much.
For a young man, you have learned a lot, and are very good at teaching it to others. I really enjoy your videos, and look forward to applying what I've learned here to some of my own projects. Thanks, from an old man. Mike
That was interesting. Looking forward to part 2
Coming right up! 👊
Great video! So many of these videos lack the camerawork that shows what's going on on the other side of the panel when using a hammer and dolly, this really helped me to wrap my head around the process. Thanks!
You’re so welcome thank you for the feedback!
Thanks Karl .You are a great teacher. I learned a few things in your class today . On to pt 2
I don't do any sheet metal work really....buy its great to watch anybody skilled that is willing to teach. Thanks for your channel.....i get lots of good stuff from all your videos.
I love watching talented people with skills do their thing. Thanks for sharing.😎
Loving the content your putting out man. I'm not a fabricator by trade but as I tinker on old projects I find myself diving more and more into it and always trying to learn and advance. Good stuff!
Glad you are enjoying the videos Erick! Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!
My dad had a saying "Don't force it! Use a bigger hammer!" Thank you for taking the time to make another great video. Well done.
That was a rough one, great job! Used your ideas today and makes sense. Trev’s blog is a great one for metal finishing too. Another master metal guy.
Oh man!! I’ve learned more watching that than ever! Thank you!
These are excellent videos, your presentation skills are excellent and you come across as a really genuine young man - im 70 and still learning - keep up the good work
You are a metal magician ... I have worked a lot of metal in my day... your talents are amazing !!!
Fantastic,,,,That was very helpful.. looking forward to learning more about heat shrinking too....
Thanks so much! we'll be sure to make a video on that as well
You’re a good teacher my friend , you explain yourself very well thanks for sharing.
I love how knowledgeable you are and how well you explain the dolly work, yet youre completely humble and polite in the comments, and take everyones advice/comments on board. I've learnt a lot from this channel man, thanks so much, and glad to see the old girls still have a guy around that knows how to massage all the dents out and keep them on the road!
Ha ha ha! I hope this industry stays away for a long time these cars will never happen again and the beauty of design and manufacturing from those eras must live on!
Those old girls, will always need a young man, LoL 🤣
Morning Karl, you are good!! Thru my years of fabricating, you learn what tools to use for what you are trying to do. I really enjoy watching you straighten a mess!! I learn something every video of yours I watch!! Be safe!! God Bless!!
Thanks Michael ! Cheers!
Great video of starting from scratch on an old panel that is borderline salvageable without good knowledge. Best I have seen.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Love the gentle persuasion with the soft poundomitor
Absolutely amazing! Color me impressed! Incredible talent.
Very helpful. I just purchased a hammer and dollie set to work on a 66 Ford truck. I had know idea of how to work them. Now I have a basic idea.
Great work Carl!!!!! It’s going to look great when it’s finished.Your very skilled and have a lot of experience. Love the video. I learned something today.
Awesome Roger I’m glad you learned something!
That's seriously impressive. Perhaps they should call you 'The magician of metal'
Ha ha ha thanks man!
The Shape of the metal is coming round. Looking good.
Thank you! It’s definitely getting there
Panel restoration is what you are doing and a great job as well really good and thank you for a 99% fantastic video !
Thanks Ronnie! I appreciate it!
I like how you explain things simple but very clear
Awesome! I'm glad to know that!
A true artist. You make it look easier than it is.
I've really enjoyed this, "the ting" was an interesting bit of knowledge, I've only done a very little bit, but I've worked with those doing the sheet metal work, and it's nice to learn their techniques. I've been working as a mechanic for more than fifty years, but never had the time to just watch. Thanks for sharing this.
There is a lot of knowledge and experience in those hands. Thanks for showing us how it's done!
More than happy to Henry thanks for being here!
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. Great channel!
I love your videos, I can honestly say I have learned quite a bit
Absolute amazing transformation on a P.O.S. hood that I would of threw away and try to replace. You have given me hope. Great skills.
These videos are pure gold. Thanks.👍👍👍
Very useful, informative video. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Great skills and advice.
I really enjoy every video you make you explain everything well
Amazing technique thank you for posting
Great lesson. Liked all you said all the way through the video. 😊
Hearing protection lest you end up as deaf as I am.
You beat hammers on hammers and wear eve protection, as hardened steel chips.
You are putting together a good channel with valuable content. You have a good pace and clear speaking voice.Thanks.
Thanks so much for input and for watching!! I agree, ear protection is extremely important, and I do typically wear them while working!
Watched this video, went and bought a hammer and dolly set, and completely fixed some heavy wrinkles in my 37 chevy roof. My hat is off to you for the amazing content. Thank you!
Hell ya man! Way to go! Love hearing this
a true craftsman. nice work!
Great video Karl.
So much more learned today.
Had I have seen this lesson I would not have thrown away so many panels.
You are very amazing guy, iam in my 60s and and watch all your shows, and put to metal with fantastic results, you should have your own TV show, the way you explaine is just amazing, thanks for your help Mike.
First, I wish I used hearing protection earlier in my life. Second, video well done with detailed explanations. Finally, this man has the knowledge & skill to make it work. Good job!
Thanks a lot man I appreciate that!
Wow
Just found your channel and I haven’t been this mesmerized since Bob Ross. I’ll be binging now. Looking forward to more 👍
Hahaha! You can work on all kinds of emotions with a hammer and dolly
Great video, you explained off dolly hammering very well; people do have trouble with the concept that you aren’t a blacksmith banging away on an anvil, the dolly is just there to back the metal up and you hammer the high spot! I almost yelled at my screen when you were hammering on your other hammer so I’m glad you pointed out that you wouldn’t normally hit your good hammer like that.
Hahah!!! Ya I have some sacrificial hammers I knew people would cringe on that on 😬 glad it come thru clear thanks 🙏 David !
Great video. Thanks, fun to watch someone who knows their craft and takes the time to explain it.
Glad you’re enjoying the content man thanks for the feedback!
Great video, very informative. Thanks
Excellent video. I learned a lot. Thanks!
Great demonstration on hammer off dolly and thinking about where and how to strike that panel. Great video!
Thanks very much! I appreciate all feedback🤙
man o man... Im 50 years young and STILL learning new stuff from you young'ns. lol Good stuff
I learnt a lot in that video. Thanks man, that is awesome work.
All these years I thought I was doing it wrong, I have made mistakes but watching you beat on the hood I think I did pretty good and As far as I’m concerned your videos are to short , would’ve loved to see the hole hood finished. Thank you for your love of sharing your talent
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!
Love watching how you do your craft!! Great job
Thanks a lot David!
sec. time I watched this, getting more and more out of it. Next one A must. Enjoyed, you are getting it to me. Thanks
Totally awesome video you make it look easy but also teach people how they can do it in a way that most will understand. Thank you for sharing Ive smashed the like button and I'm subscribing now
I never had done this technique until I got a 1971 VW Karmann Ghia. I did the nose to the point where I didn't need bondo !! MUCH easier than it looks. CHASE the 'line' ! Tink, Tink. NOT thump, thump. One can Hear when it is a correct strike. GREAT video !!
Good show! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent, excellent video. Really appreciate you sharing the details of what you are doing. Thanks!!
Thanks so much for watching! You’re very welcome
Great Video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks man! Hope it was helpful!
Great information ! I agree with comments below, hearing protection required. Thanks for the great videos , I will use the knowledge gained here . Keep it up.
You are a great teacher thank you for sharing
