    Hands down, I have yet to find any YT metal shaper that teaches better than you do! For those of us interested, huge thank you. I hope your ROI for the effort you spend capturing and editing your content justifies your commitment to sharing your craft so you have the motivation to continue.

    I've followed you for a while on Instagram and only recently started watching your channel on youtube. In a world of presenters on UA-cam, you have to be hands down the best at showing and explaining how you go about making complex curved pieces. Your skill and speed in turning a flat sheet into a compound curved piece is amazing. Thankyou for sharing. I've been forming sections in builds for many years and feel like I'm quite good, however nowhere near your level. With every video I watch I'm learning and understanding and aspiring to improve my skills.

    Even though I only do my stuff manually, it is very interesting and enlightening to watch the metal move with those big machines. Watching your videos also helps me understand how to predict what will and needs to happen to make the panel go where I need it to go. I find myself predicting what you're going to say as you say it which helps me build stuff for my projects. Thanks for sharing the stuff you do.

    Another WOW! Knowing what to do where and when represents untold hours of labor on your part. Your explanations are superb and of course the craftsmanship matches. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your vast knowledge with us. It sure makes me want to learn the craft that I've respected for so long. I've done several cars using the ultra-hard Chavant clay but mistakes were expected and easy enough to fix. Aluminum and metal are totally different animals, so now I'm learning to oxy-acetylene and TIG weld aluminum. Hope to be a student within the forseable future.

      @Chevypowered5766 9 місяців тому

      I just didn’t know if there was now a days a schooling, classes, videos, books, anything else like that. I would think an apprenticeship would be the best way to learn with someone that is there to help and teach you, but I know when I looked for something like that years ago nobody wanted to teach you what they knew. They learned the hard way so they thought that was what you needed to do, l was actually told that by a couple of body men over the years. So many years ago. I still love to watch and learn and think how I would try to do things if I was still able.

      @cornfieldcustoms  9 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching. The problem with longer format videos is the time to make and average watch time of 12 mins. so its a lot of wasted effort when i could cut it into shorter videos. not so sure on the production assistant. I had a video guy for a while and it failed miserably

      A power hammer hits harder and slower BPM, and the planisher is lighter hit and much faster BPM.
