Part 2 of how to build and Jaguar E-Type Fender Wray completes the area value of the panel to match the flexible shape pattern. Then using the english wheel as a fulcrum, arranges that panel to fit the gauges created from the original fender. After trimming down the sheet metal Wray uses the tipping wheel and then hammer and dolly to bend the flanges and create the seat for the light.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd rate this one a 20...you raised the bar on UA-cam for metal shaping to a new level.
Thanks Alger, please recommend my videos where ever you can. They seem to be lagging lately. Someone smears some bondo filler on a dent and they have 200000 views in a week....
Congratulations! some artists paint pictures, others perform on stages, but for me, without disparaging others, this is true art
While I'll never work metal to this degree, it's delightful to watch a craftsman at work. Amazing to be able to manipulate metal like this.
I really like how you extended the handles on those parallel jaw pliers. That is working smart!
man I was sweating bullets thinking you were going to split that part forming the jiggle after all that great work. It was a real education to watch that happen before our eyes. Big effort to make such high quality videos thank you.
My deep respect! So hard to find the kind of craftsmen you are these days. The true origin (actually) of the title "magician". Not as an expression only. Making your own tools settles it. You are a magus! Very inspiring. ...No motor driven machines - for better control - I do agree! And most people simply don't understand the argument. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant, you are what You Tube should be, entertaining & educational in equal amounts.
Thankyou!
I learned a lot by watching these videos, I appreciate all the work that has gone into making the video and your great teaching skills.
every video i tell myself "i'm so glad he takes the time to show the whole process, not time-lapsing everything". there are no videos that are too long from wray schelin.
2 key things that make this video amazing:
1. You showed every step including the struggles
2. You muted the hammer hits.
Thank you and keep it up.
Subscribed to a true craftsman / educator
These are invaluable. Showing the entire process, warts and all, has been very helpful. The amount of time it takes, the methodical approach to a goal, all things that you don't see on other videos. Thanks for taking the time.
Very well done, Wray!
Your talent level is off the scale. Really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Excellent work.
I appreciate that!
I have been rebuilding my Jaguar xk-e '65. I had found a few dents and you gave me the confidence and the teaching how to get the pieces back into place. I did need a little body filler, but very little. Took a long time, but came out almost perfect. Thank-you. I will share with anyone who might be interested. Took me a long time to use the hammer and dolly the first time. I hated to hit it. I found I could do it a little at a time. If you want a few more views, you might change the title, and thumbnail. I searched on jaguar e-type, but I don't think there are that many around now. This can work on any car. :-) H I subscribed, liked this, shared it, and made a comment. This will give you the most notification for the youtube algorithm.
P.S. I give a 25 on scale from 1 to 10.
This is how stuff like this used to be done but hardly ever is anymore. Tech is nice but I gotta say I still have the beat bag and the stump. :)
Great to watch the panels taking shape, and how to make mistakes and get around them so easily.
I must admit that I was a little skeptical about the sticky tape technique but it certainly works. The cardboard profiles help for sure but much easier than making up bucks and so easy to store too.
Bucks have their place, but it is ridiculous to make a buck for a right side fender if you have a left you can copy with a flexible shape pattern and gauges. All patch panels can be easily made and super accurately with a flexible shape pattern and gauges. Even if you have a buck and you are making multiple panels the flexible shape pattern will speed up the process. It tells you exactly what you need to do,where, and how much.
@@proshaper I am certainly convinced that your system works. No doubt at all. Fantastic to watch the progress.
The most important development in metal shaping ever. The Flexible Shape Pattern.
Seems a little sketchy at first. But, that is before one’s mind overcomes the resistance.
It’s hard to express enough gratitude for these fine gifts.
Sacrificed my lockdown sleep to watch this meticulous guy with fine handiwork. Amazing gifted hands.
Kipidap .....as they say it here
Thank you so much 😀
I just started watching your videos. I went through the bonnet build and now the fender lots of very helpful information. Thank you and Mark for taking the time to make these.
Hi Ian, Awesome, please spread the words to your car friends- thanks. Wray
Amazing stuff, didn't look possible, some magic here! Shout out to Mark (the camera man?) who knows exactly how to show the really important little details of the action.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fitzee and now Wray. Thanks you.
We both have accents but my approach to repairs and making panels are very different.
@@proshaper Yes I see that. I was looking for part 3 of this fender build, is there a part 3?
As always pleasure to watch you do the magic.
Excellent as always Wray. I've shared it to all my E Type Facebook groups. They always get likes.
Thanks for sharing
Wow! Thank you, Such a craftsman. Makes the Eastwood videos look like infomercials. ;)
thats what they are .He build a hard part here
Wow...Looks Awesome...From South Africa
I took your weekend class 5 years ago, highly recommend it to anybody sitting on the fence about doing it, probably learned 15 years worth of figuring stuff out myself in that weekend.
Very nice videos, you're a very good handyman.
Unbelievable, Amazing skills it’s a piece of Art absolutely fantastic
Just want to say thanks to Mark & you. I have paid lots for some VHS (Danny Glover?) and did not learn as much. Thank You Fred;26T
Great to hear!
Amazing as always!Mark is doing a great job at capturing too!Wray I like the new videos very much!
incredible and inspiring. thank you, great work.
These videos are fantastic. It's amazing to watch how metal can be made into something beautiful by a skilled craftsman.
Thanks, See my "T-shirt Metal Is Clay" that says it all. Everybody knows how to shape clay, metal is the same it's just stubborn.
Awesome as usual! Cant wait to start acquiring some tools to begin practicing. Gonna buy a shirt! Great job wray!
Awesome! Thank you!
Your skill and teaching methods are 100% really good informative video
Thanks a lot!
Wray Schelin's ProShaper Workshop no problems really enjoyed the video, even has encouraged me to invest in a small English wheel as I have a 1984 rover sd1 here in the uk and going to try making some of the small more awkward curved repair sections rather then buying whole replacement panels and cutting bits out of them. Thanks again and keep up the good work really enjoying watching listening and learning
@@therestorementor7742 see my English wheel frame plans at my website proshaper.com
Thanks again Wray that was a great watch, I think those small mistakes you make can only be tiredness 11.30 pm that's a long day ! yep been there done that too I still do sometimes but it is when I make annoying mistakes.......... get some well earned sleep sir, says me at 1.30 in the morning lol
jus found your channel amazing I'm binge watching
Ive been looking forwards to the headlight seat double bent , a master class ,, patience and lots and lots of it .How I wish I worked in alloy , it moves like sheets of processed cheese by comparison to the 1.5 mm steel I get .
the dark colored roof rafters give you a good way to see high and low spots in the rafters reflections
I notice god developed your body bits just right for body assisted bending of your panels, unfortunately mine were slightly over developed and dont work as well as yours. Great videos and well explained procedure. I taught to never to stop during a wheeling stroke , something I tried hard to resist. It made sense to pump up the area then planish off. Seems the American way has its merits.
These videos are so good.
I appreciate that!
Amazing work. You are a true artist. I enjoyed every second of this video. What would be a round about cost to have the piece you just fabricated if someone asked you to do it for them. It seems like you would need a decade of experience to do something so perfect. Thanks I look forward to watching your videos.
Thank you very much! I teach students with zero experience to do what I do, I have had some students ( maybe 5%) leave my class producing work close to mine in quality. Others it takes longer, but if you stick with it it starts to hit home and away you go into a whole new world of creativity. I have about ten former students building amazing scratch-built whole cars!!! See my video on the 1937 Riley in my UA-cam channel library, Also check out Gerry's 120 Jaguar special video in my library. ua-cam.com/users/proshaper
Assessors use a striped screen to find the smallest imperfection with ease.
When the stripes reflect on the surface every detail gets revealed.
Stellar work!
Hi Wray, top stuff as usual, when you sped up the footage, & got the high pitch buzzing noise,? I recon you should check out your work shop, JT kirk might be in the back ground, keep them coming, just saw the English wheel build video, looks awesome. Cheers Les. Glasgow
Fantastic video. Gracias
Thanks Calixto!
thank you very helpful indeed
Artist.
WOW THAT IS COOL
Enjoyed
That is looking kinda rough as of now. But I know you can hammer it out with a shine ✨ on it.
What is the brand name of the Shear being used @ 37:59 ? All I can see online looks different than that one, so I must be spelling the name wrong.....And that one is soooo quiet!
Hi Wray. Where did you get them cool pull up pliers?
Can you tell me what a finder like this would cost to finish ?????
Hi Jerry, "How long does it take to make, how much does it cost?" These are very common questions. The answer is it depends on where something is made. If it is hand made in a low wage country it will be very reasonable. If it is hand made in a high wage country it will be expensive.
How do I find the part 3 of this series??
I was copying a sample nose which I borrowed. The person I borrowed it from needed it back so I lost the model I was copying. I now have acquired an original E-Type nose so I can finish the project sometime this year. Stay tuned.
@@proshaper Thanks Wray. I really enjoyed the first two. Can't wait until the series is completed.
What is stippiling v not on the shrinker
Stippling describes the working surface of the shrinker stretcher jaws. It has like a sandpaper look to it. Stippling is better for shrinker/stretcher tooling working faces as opposed to the other format which looks like a file surface. The stippling is easier on the metal, especially aluminum.
If I buy something from the site can you get Mark some gloves before he loses a digit? Lol
Что-то в конце пошло не так. Сколько труда, штамп сделать проще наверное.
Gee, Wray... I didn't criticize you about not showing the work to the camera. I asked nicely with "a small request".
Hi Joe. It was former employee that told Mark that I needed to show the panel to the camera. 😁😁😁
@@proshaper Whew! Those former employees.. tsk tsk ;)
It's looking good. I like the name change for the channel.
Love your work, but I'm really sorry to say that headlight flange looks like a beaver, and a elephant had a go at it. The edges are all dented, crooked, and not uniform in any way. there is no way that will work as the headlight ring will just accentuate the irregularities like a magnifying glass.
Scotty362100 wasn't paying attention on the class. Shame on you Scotty362100. Man says it all in the video.
The headlight joggle will be adjusted and tweaked, it will look good and fit perfectly when completed. Patience!!!
More important theres no annoying frickin music
Mark ( my camera guy/editor/ did put the canned music on the few speeded up compilation videos that we have made.
Other than that application, I see no reason for music in the videos.
This sort of stuff is why I got into panel beating but then I used bog and d i d smash repair and lost the love
2 people accidentally hit the thumbs down button. Pay attention. You can undo it if you do that.
