Your appreciation for not all of us having the same level of "tool muscle" and finding the rest of us a work-around is very much appreciated!
That is a neat idea. Well done. I can see me making one of these in the future.
Love your channel also
Yeah, I watch fitzees as well.
I'm learning so much from these two.
That's high praise coming from Fitzee! Love his channel, learn a lot from these guys. Grateful for every video
Thanks so much tony !
Fitzeeeeee! How are you my friend? Great to see you in here!
I am about to fill the original fender bolt holes in my 1951 GMC Pickup bed. It has an interesting history you might like to read about.
I took off the OEM fenders of the bed in 1967 when my Aunt gave me a junker Farm pickup so I could build a small trailer to haul my strawberries out of my FFA Garden to the Saturday Sale Barn. I stripped off the cab & cut the frame to use as the trailer frame, but since the step side fenders were mangled bad after a decade of farm work, I tossed them. In 2012 after my Aunt died and her kids were selling stuff off her farm they called me and asked if I wanted (free) the old trailer I built when I was 16. (1967). I jumped at the chance to get it. I have been redoing the old trailer to use behind my 4X4 rig over the years when I have the time to haul camping gear and I installed Jeep style fenders on it. So now my plan is to fill the old fender mounting holes, sandblast it and paint the old trailer. Already tossed the old axle I put on it so many years ago because that 1951 4 bolt truck pattern is no longer available. I built a 3500 cap axle with my 4x4's 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern so I now have 2 spare tires.
Shame I can't post a picture of it up here.
Been using this method for filling holes for years. Glad to see the craft is stiill being used....
Your a legend bro
Ive been metal working for just over a decade and it's always refreshing to see people like yourself sharing the knowledge!!!
Thank you Karl!!! I never thought of using this technique to fill holes, I’ve always used weld to fill holes and it’s a nightmare! I will definitely use this from now on! Thank you again!!!
Wicked Man I am so stoked that you will use this! You’re most welcome thanks for watching!
@@MakeItKustom nice idea...if you used ac tig on the steel here, would that make the magnet not an issue.? I have heard that ac is useful to prevent arc blow or when welding magnetized metal in the smaw process
I love the language you use, not overly technical but 100% descriptive and you are very pragmatic in your approach to jobs.
Awesome tip Karl! Having just filled holes in 87 year old sheet metal I could have used it this weekend, but I will from now on...
Oh man timing was a little off. Glad you will use it in the future!
I love flexing tool muscles 😂🍻
Ha ha ha yeah man!
I love these videos showing how to make your own tools vs buying one. Old school, cheap and easy :)
And 15 minutes later you are back at work, not waiting days for a ($35?) tool to show up :)
Right on I’m glad you dig the content! I just love making little tools especially when they work really well or they are not available
Beautiful work!
Magic trick! Made those holes disappear! We used to braze holes like that shut 50 years ago, hurts me to admit to it.
Different times man! There are so many different ways to do it and I don’t ever want to take anything away from other techniques. It’s all too easy for us today lol
Very useful approach! And clever!
Awesome presentation! Well done Karl! Thanks!
Absolutely amazing! Thanks mate!
I was getting ready to say i must be the only person who has issues w the arc and magnets and was glad to see im not the only one. I was using extremely strong magnets before and inches away would mess the arc up bad. Awsome video
Yeah apparently the weeker the magnet the better. Makes sense to me so I’ll buy some Amazon cheap refrigerator magnets next
I see it is a Beautiful BC day out the window! Awesome tip!
Lol yeah we had a pretty rainy week it’s been beautiful all summer but the weather is turning
Ya know its good when Fitzee likes it.
Ha ha yeah he is a master!
I just snagged up the parts and pieces to make this for 3/4" holes. I found you earlier this week when I was home sick... now I'm trying to catch up watching a vid or two a day. I have a 47 dodge thats the same cab as yours. I love what you have done to yours, I'm going a way way different way, but yours is breath taking. Keep up the good work, keep teaching this poor fool how to do some of this stuff on a budget.
Thanks!! Great idea!! One suggestion I would offer: My son and I are doing a 57 Chevy and have been doing lots of patches in the floor. Probably up to around 30 holes and/or fasteners that we have removed. For holes this size (up to 1/2"), I have purchased a "Whitney" punch. The Whitney punch uses a dye that looks very similar to the transfer punch so it makes a disc with a slight "center" dimple and the plug is a tiny bit distorted (not flat). Choose just the right size drill bit (that the punch dye JUST fits in) or JUST undersize. Put the plug into the hole (turn a rat tail file like a ream ) until the piece just goes into the hole. Use a dolly and hammer to flatten the plug in the hole. This expands the plug so it holds itself into the hole and it's flush.
So, I would suggest you try using the transfer punch with the centering tip as it's manufactured. Hopefully it will make the same kind of plug the Whitney does that is slightly "shrunk" so it will expand when flattened in the hole.
Larger holes are done with a stepped (uni ) bit. The plug is made using a corresponding size hole saw with the pilot bit removed (drill a small hunk of plywood first and clamp it to the metal as a guide). When the hole saw cuts through the metal, it leaves a super thin edge piece that will hold your plug from going through the hole with a magnet on the backside. Hitting that thin rim with the arc gives you a fusion tack. Hammer and continue from there.
That’s an interesting technique! Thank you very much for sharing I appreciate it Bob!
Dude if you floors are that bad just buy some pans they are only like $150 each. And how does you under bracing look, from what you said you might better take a look and think fives times about doing a frame off. Yes I am building a 56 and am a tri-five guru! I mini tubbed it and slapped a 2008 challenger independent rear end with wavetrack differential into it. You can catch a few glimpses on my channel so you know I am now full of 💩.

Look at "The Time Machine" playlist @ Pappabob on UA-cam to see our work on the floors. They definitely don't need replacing. Check it out. ;o)
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding video. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TALENTS!
Very nice tips. Well done.
That is really slick, thank you for sharing!!!
Love these tutorials...learning heaps...
Very good videos Karl! Thank you.
I'm really glad I found your channel. You do awesome work. Keep them coming.
Simple tools are the best tools. Well done.
Very good it's a bliss watching you work keep it up
Great info, you are an artist, the weld looks perfect.
Thank you for the idea. I will be making that. Love the channel. Take care and stay safe.
this is gold. simple and effective love it!
A great tool idea, thanks for sharing your expertise, man.
That’s a pretty cool idea. I used a similar method to fill in a dozen holes where the roof rack was on my Cherokee Chief. Instead of making a tool, I used a 1/2” hole saw to cut out little circles. This worked great since the outside diameter of the holes I wanted to fill were a 1/2” and the inside diameter of the holesaw was about an 1/8” less. This left me with a 1/16” gap all the way around.
Excellent information and excellent video style. Thanks
Nice, made it look easy.
Thanks for that. Will be making a few sizes for sure.
Fantastic! Will try it next time I am in the shop!
Awesome. Very informative video. Thank you!
Always great to watch your videos. Great info and teaching style. 😊😊😊

Wow great job
brilliant! like all his videos, excellent. thank you for sharing
What a great idea!! Awesome, thanks for showing us a trick!!
Very Cool Tip!! Thank you!!
Clean solution, very well done-Thank you ✅👍
Awesome video
Really cool idea - thx man!
Killer job!!
Thats a cool tool! As a toolmaker with experience of punching, cutting, pressingtools I would recommend you to make a rounded shape like getting it cutting in two spots at first on the tip. You have to try out the radius that fits you (bigger radius mean more force) and the piece that you will fit the "dot" into.This to make it more like cutting than forcing thru avoid that expanding the sheetmetal will do when hitting the entire surface at once and make the tool stick when the remaining sheet re-shape and the hole get to small.😊👍
Cuts way better. Instead of a disc grind with a mini drum sander
Yes absolutely if I had shape the end it would cut it a little bit better but it would also distorted a bit so I don’t mind the struggle with the tool a little bit to get a perfectly flat disc that doesn’t need to be hammered. For larger holes I would absolutely have to make it more of a cutter. Thanks so much for your guidance on this. I am not a tool maker but I love listening to you experienced individuals such as yourself
That's like electrical knockout punches. Whitney punches all have that pilot point. But jewelers disk punches are always flat and square to eliminate distortion on the piece you want to keep which is the slug not the parent metal
Fantastic! What a great idea... Thanks for the lesson👍
Great tip. Thank you.
simply explained from start to finish as always! PERFECT!
Thanks man much appreciated
Love your videos and style dude
Great tip! Thanks!
A valuable skill that I'm sure I'll use on the restomod for my pickup. Thanks Karl.
I really enjoyed this tool you created to patch holes in your vehicle. Then I took a look at your film metal reborn .. I am blown away how professional this film was made and presented…way to go Karl
Fantastic video! Will be making my own for my project. Keep up the videos.
Very good idea my friend
I really appreciate you always thinking of the lil guy! Why I follow this channel.

Thanks for posting all these videos showing accessible techniques and demonstrating such great workmanship. I love the tasteful (and subtle) use of music in your videos. The video technique is excellent too.
I noticed you are in Maple Ridge then noticed the rain outside while you were talking about your welding technique. It brought back fond memories of when I was growing up in Vancouver. Hope to visit your shop when I return for a visit.
Thanks for all the great videos man you keep me in the tinkering mood huge fan
Awesome man thanks so much for watching I’m glad that you like the videos! Cheers
