Can't believe I just watched 47 minutes of a guy hitting a fender with a hammer, but man am I glad I did. Those tips and tricks are so valuable. Thanks again.
Okay, I’m impressed. That doesn’t happen too often on here. The way you explain without rambling on and then into talking about your mothers uncle twice removed that nobody wants to hear about is not notch. You sir have earned another sub…
I really, really love the background music used here. No rush, just calmly explaining the process
Such a nice vibe!
Glad you liked it!
You Sir are a master teacher. I`ve had a hammer & dolly set 35 years ago. Couldn`t get anything done with it and scrapped it. Your videos made me order a second set and gave me hope.
Thank you!
this is the actual show I always wanted to see on discovery as a kid! I used to watch all this dramatic bullshit for maybe if you were lucky 1 minute of info, whereas this is gold from pillar to post...so good man! much thanks to you and the crew
Right on! Thanks for that ! That was me as a kid too 👊
@@MakeItKustom awesome man! 👊
Dude, that is so relatable lol
Literally just bought my first hammer and dolly set, then your notification came up, I'm subscribed.
Right on man thanks for subscribing!
Definitely a good place to learn because he explains all his techniques in detail and the results of his methods are obvious.
Yup. Good learning and motivation. 👍
I really love it when you show how to fix metal damage with tools an average Joe/Jane can obtain.
If sharing is caring, you win the internet for how much amazing knowledge you share.
🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🇦🇺🍀🍀🍀
Lost my Dad a few years ago. He was an old school metal finish lead repair body man. Watching your videos reminds me of home.
Love how you have the tools to do it faster but teach how to do it with hand tools
Great video with no family drama and nobody crying and stomping out of the shop. The way you describe the process is very helpful. Thank you for your time.
You’re most welcome! Ha ha I don’t get it when that type of content is necessary.
We have all seen the Dog whisperer. Now We see The metal Whisperer. Always great content and never ceases to amaze! I love it!
Not only are you fixing stuff, you are explaining how to do it, and even going into the details of all the little tricks and indicators. Your skills are amazing - very impressive and a joy to watch and learn.
One of my favorite videos. Really liked the format (borderline ASMR, background music) and the simplicity of the tools used. Detailed explanations as usual. Love it !
This lifeless after market fender now has a story stamped into it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
My pleasure man! I’m pretty stoked that the fender is saved and a hammer and Dolly video is born lol
ASMR and imparting knowledge are two extremely different things, having them compete against each other, simultaneously, is *NEVER* a good thing.
It is easy to accidentally *abuse* the viewer when combining the individual "power(s)" of audio and visual. Video is so much more than the sum of it two main inputs, THAT is what makes it possible to be utterly compelling to produce AND consume.
When the art and science skills are combined "magic takes place"; use it responsibly and judiciously for it resides at both ends of the good-bad spectrum. *Background music/noise/sound matters!!!*
Oh Karl. I've been there. I'll bet your were just furious with yourself for damaging a NEW and irreplaceable part like that fender. But talk about making lemonade out of lemons! That was one of your best videos yet! You are a REALLY good instructor and I learned SO much. Thank you for showing us how to fix something like that. You are doing GREAT work sharing your knowledge.
And please do the video you alluded to on how to make that fixed dolly stand and one's own dollies!
I can thank you enough for teaching me soooooooo much.
It’s the simple things like prying against vise grips that seems so simple but overlooked too many times by myself. Looking back that little trick would have saved me tons of time.
CHEERS BROTHER - RESPECT
Just want to tell you Karl & Christina something that I noticed is that your channel’s quality improves continuously which keeps me watching. Thanks you guys cause obviously you read and listen to your subscribers and you, caring , really stands out.
I feel like i'm watching the Bob Ross of metalworking right now (does Canada know Bob Ross?) "Here's another happy little dent... we're just going to give him a little massage with our hammer and dolly." You make it look simple with your step by step explanation but you take a step back and it's actually a work of art. Incredible work with the metalworking and the video!
Multiple camera angles, new cameras, good editing… love it you guys. Keep it up!
Real world stuff right there. It's not all flashy new parts that cost more than most people can afford. I truly appreciate how down to Earth you keep things.
You what you got, make the rest, never pass a garage/yard sale. I like it! The combo shrinking stump with some nylon (They are sold as cutting boards). My favorite was at the end when clamped in, “Looks better than I thought and fits” out loud but the inner voice we can’t hear was Karl “After I ran over it and dropped a frame on it”.
I shop owner teaching me in the 70’s said, “If you are not making a mistake, you are not doing much! DK, retired ASE M
The more you watch the more you absorb. Thanks for giving basic techniques anyone can learn. It really helps having someone who knows what they are doing demonstrate.
Keep up the great work Karl!
Thanks a lot Brian!
You videos have been so beneficial in aiding me on my 55 Chevy build.
My co worker is highly skilled like yourself, and has been helping learn to hammer and dolly. But having your videos to fall back on and having real time examples are invaluable.
Thanks Carl!
Body shops in my area don't repair dents anymore, they only replace. Nice to see someone still does this type of work.
Hey Karl, you are not only highly skilled but are a natural teacher. Thanks for another very enjoyable and instructive video.
Ive tried watching a few videos on proper hammer and dolly usage, and this on by far is one of the best ive found.
Im a novice at it and when you get the hang of it spending some quality time tapping low spots out of a panel sure is relaxing and rewarding work.
I like the home made slap hammer, will have to find a thrift store file and make one myself.
Great work!
Appreciate the noticeably absence of time-lapse on this video. Please consider using less time-lapse on other videos. I know that it's necessary sometimes in order to condense the video time but I find too much to be quite annoying. Thanks for taking the time to describe the thought process with which you approach each area of damage. Great job Karl 👍
Thanks for the feedback Peter! I’ll try and have more real time footage
Slow is how this sorta thing is done which should clearly be the point being able to learn from this video.. if you want to appease persons with no attention span maybe make another condensed version but I thoroughly am stoked to see the grind so as to know what I might get into and what it takes to make it quality.. otherwise like you’re saying.. aftermarket .. this also isn’t a fast or sped up process to begin with …. Which is why I appreciate that you took your time to show us how to do it properly with real time and theory versus a jacked up TikTok video with edm that left my head spinning and still knowing nothing .. I’ve watched most all your videos .. thanks for the educational manner you’re taking that one can actually learn a skill.. skills take practice .. practice takes time
Powell is best to shut it pal, your quite annoying throwing that on the comments.. keep that shit to yourself, video is great!
Watch it in slow speed on UA-cam
Once you see the idea, I don’t see the point of watching 20 minutes of realtime hammering or 30 minutes on an English wheel. At that point the only learning to be had can only come by grabbing a sheet and working it through with your own hands on your own tools.
I already watch most of these at 1.5x so using up more time in a video would be an unwelcome waste of time for me. I think there’s a reasonable balance a lot of the time- making long drawn out segments out of repetitive hammering will achieve nothing with about equal benefits to watching an hour-long video of paint drying, orbital sanding of a stack of pine boards, or clouds passing overhead.
The production is what it is; I’m not asking for shorter videos; I’m not his only viewer. But I surely don’t want longer videos filled with mundane tasks. Besides- and I haven’t looked- I’m sure there are plenty of videos out there of clouds passing overhead. @MakeItCustom
I just repaired my neighbours Sprinter van... he took it to three bodyshops and they all put down for new wing, bumper and headlamp. Cheapest quote was £3'500.
I repaired everything and charged him £800 and it all came out perfect.
I'm an old school panebeater. nobody is properly trained these days and its always replace instead of repair..
Great video Karl, you show perfectly what can be done... I think things are going to change, goodbye throwaway society.. I will update you soon on my 41 Cadillac Coupe. best wishes from the UK
That’s a really nice thing you did for your neighbor!
A little time and a positive attitude saved a scavenger hunt for another fender . Excellent
Great job I’m 70 years old and your never to old to learn more every day thanks a lot love your video’s
wow , dude you opened my eyes ...i could actually understand what you were saying....dude you are a good teacher !!! thank you !!!
Hello✋. Thanks for the video. We have a night, and I'm watching instead of sleeping.🤦♂️😁
Sincerely from Russia🤝
I'm an auto mechanic with 30+ years experience and by no means am I a body repair guy. I have an inductive heater for siezed nuts and bolts. It works absolutely amazing. My point is that you can buy all types of attachments for this tool and one attachment I bought is a panel heating pad. I have used it to heat dents, dings, and creases and then hammer them out with various hammer and wooden hammers I've made over the years. Now I have never truly been concerned with paint finish or any real technical issues but heating the metal with that inductive heater has really stepped my abilities up. It actually makes the outcome look like I know what I'm doing. I'm just curious if you or anybody here in the comments has any experience using one, and if not I do suggest trying one as it has worked for me a complete novice.
Oh good! I'm glad it wasn't Kristina or Karl that decided to put music to your video. Whew! 😋 Great stuff, Karl! You do vantastic work.
You look like you're enjoying yourself which tells me you're doing your life's work. Sharing valuable knowledge and having a good time. Life is good. Thank you.
Japhand is the man. Thank you Professor.
Nice work Karl , throughout this video I was thinking wow Kristina has taken her filming and production to the next level !!! Surprise surprise
Haha it’s a bit different format
Good to see that van back in the videos!
Very clever of you!
Create a UA-cam Vid of a damaged fender showcasing your metal working skill! 😁
Very nicely done!
Great Practical video! Brought back a lot of good memories fixing stuff just because you can't get what you need! Anyone who has never done hammer on hammer work is either not a guy who does any work, or a liar! Really enjoyed this one!
Right on! Glad you enjoyed this one!
nice job
love the filming
you really deserves more recognition for all the teaching you doing and the passion that we all sharing in our project
Thanks man I appreciate it!
AMAZING INSTRUCTOR SKILLS!!! Keep up the good work that you do, the fans love it!!!
Thanks Jason!
Really enjoy seeing a tradesman at work very interesting and entertaining Thanks Guy’s
I think you were happy you had to fix it because you love metalwork so much😂
Your camera work is excellent, the person is quite good at aiming at the details, and your explanation as you work is quite valuable, I've watched it done many times, doing other work, and have learned quite a bit from both the video and the narrative explaining your thought process. You have great patience, and your selection of music is quite soothing, and in keeping with the work. I really enjoy seeing the metal "bend to your will" and take its proper form.
I came across your videos by accident and have spent the past few days watching them with enjoyment, your work is amazing and very informative, you are very talented and i look forward to watching more of them when i get the chance, yesterday i made myself a slapping hammer from a piece of flat bar, and today i made a dolly from an off cut chunk of steel for my collection which was motivation i got from you, also the camera work is excellent. Thanks a lot.
so grateful for such quality instructions on this video !!!
You are "THE" King !
So enjoyable watching your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I don't even do metal work but can't wait for your next video. You seem so young to have such a breadth of knowledge and your teaching approach is great. Thanks
Finger. The most precise measurment tool in the world.
I did notice the camera work, especially on the tight shots. I like it!
Best video since the 40 Willys hood video that got me hooked on your channel! I love watching dented panels get put back in shape.
Great job with the camera angles and editing
Yes sometimes having a stationary dolly to rest the work piece onto while massaging it back to form is a tremendous help when you could use a third hand. Thanks Karl, always interesting, and informative videos while fun to watch.
Karl, GREAT GREAT video for us novices that are just learning to use body hammers and dollys. I like how you didn't use any of your fancy tools to do these repairs, just basic hammers and dollys. Also liked how you showed us how you improvise, like you said, use what works. I picked up a lot of good info. One thing I recognize after watching this video is that I'm using body hammers with too much of a crown when doing dolly on hammering (plannishing). I like how you showed that very small damage can cause the oil canning effect. Would love to see a video on shrinking to repair an oil canned panel hint, hint :-)
Made yourself a bit of work there Karl. Great repair by a master of metal (You). As always Mate love your work. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Ha ha thanks Billy ! I was pretty sad when it happened lol. Good thing it’s not made of wood
So satisfying watching Karl work his magic! 😎👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Regarding hitting a hammer with a hammer... While it's good advice for occasional hammer users or novices not to hit a hammer with another, you are a professional and understand the dynamics of what you are doing. You understand the physical properties of the metal that hammers are made of and compensate for the possibility of shattering by using a soft face hammer. This is called INNOVATING! I personally would do the same thing. The cross peen hammer is the perfect force director for what you're doing. Keep innovating!
You definitely get it David! Once you’ve worked with tools long enough you definitely know what they can and cannot do. Cheers and thanks for your support!
Another great lesson, thanx. And the music was very sooothing. Nice work.
Out of all your hammering videos this one made me understand it the most. Thank you
Good job great instructions and the camera man is spot on. Thanks for the video sure helped.
This is why I watch this channel, Informative and a full explanation that covers what's next in the process. Look forward to the next one
Brought back an old memory, my dad had a '68 Datsun 510, he got rear ended. I got into the trunk and pushed it out with my knees. Using an assortment of household tools, claw hammer, sledgehammer, splitting wedges, screwdrivers. No Bondo, certainly not perfect, but he was happy as hell to have his trunk back.
This simple video has been great, It's my favourite on den repair. I think it's more instructive than the Willy's hood, in that the damage is small/less complex, so easier to grasp>
The best part is you explain what you are doing with the hammer and dolly, and show us what to look for, and what to listen for with each blow of the hammer, and different types of damage.
Brilliant, more please!
another great video! Absolutely fantastic camera work and editing. This may be the most rewatchable episode because of the content. A lot of us fear getting started on something like this. Again you make it very approachable thank you.
You’re so welcome thanks for the feedback! This would be a great video to save to keep in your back pocket when you need it cheers John!
Best video I've ever seen on hammer/dolly techniques! Absolutely awesome camera work by Christine. The totally in-focus close-ups really showed the work being done. You guys rock! Please keep the videos coming!
Thanks man ! Glad you liked it. We had the pleasure of working with @speedlinefilmwerks on this one 👊
You are truly a master of your craft
Nice work
Not even half way through this tutorial and I've already learned lots of useful information. Thanks a ton and keep being cool man.
Hey Karl, right before you said in the beginning,"I'm going to get some gloves". I daid to myself, self I see a cut coming. lol
Thank you for making an excellent video. I appreciate that the music did not detract from the content of the video. I wish more you tubers would follow your lead!!!
7:00 Yes.. I did have to rewind and watch that again :) No Pain ... No Gain
I done the same thing you did fair play for not leaving it out love your channel proper as it happens
Damn! Thank you for the great lesson! The music relaxed the hell out of me too! Bonus. I watch 'Cold War Motors' as well. A bunch of old school body guys up in Alberta Canada. Not many of you guys left in the industry.
Another great video, I have learnt so much from you from welding to panel beating. Thanks
I recommend "The Key to Metal Bumping" book. It really helped me to understand how to work out dents.
Another job well done 👍
great vid man, great info and extremely well put together
This was good video, full of practical instruction on how to work out a variety dents and creases.
I enjoyed it very much, Thanks for posting it.
Great job!
Love the background music. Thought i was watching braveheart. Like something was gonna happen at any time
Great work
Once again… Awesome work!
You should grab a masonry hammer to use for a dolly in that upper flange. The long curved end is perfect to reach up into that corner without impinging on the crown of the fender
Awesome Video
Excellent !
Okay I’ll be that guy 😉 - “Never hit a hammer with another hammer” - Only kidding - we’ve all done it and we all know you shouldn’t - using a soft, dead blow hammer is as safe as houses. The danger is hitting two hardened surfaces together. Fantastic video - I now feel like I’d be happy to give it a go! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill and experience! 😉👍
love all your videos very well explained thankyou
Nice work!
Nice demo video. Well explained.
Love it man! Well done!
A video on making a stationary dolly and the accessories would be great.
Your videos give me enough insight to have a go. Thanks
masterclass thanks for all the insight karl as usual good stuff
Another awesome video thanks
Nice work
Always entertaining and educational.
Thanks for the lesson you are a true craftsman!
Karl, that was great. You make it look so easy!
good job. great video
I really learn a lot from these type instructional videos! Thank You! JD
Love your work Karl
