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 RU-vid, 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.
I understand why Carl Fisher said we should check out your channel. Schilene is great ....your approach seems as good .... or better. Great skills and well explained.
Thanks for watching. Anything I do on power equipment can be done with basic hand tools it just takes longer. Its all just a series of shrinks and stretches
You Sir have the best workshop I’ve ever seen, a true craftsman, I came across your channel from watching Make it Custom (Karl) recommended to check you out, so glad he did, your content it very informative and helpful for us that are having a go in our garages, a big thanks from us in Australia 🇦🇺👍👍🍻
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
Thanks for watching, I dont really dont use the wheel much other than as in this video to adjust the form. Once you switch to a power hammer the wheel is almost obsolete
….. just like magic…… so smooth. Mike, thanks for the brief glimpse of converting a plan into art piece using deliberate actions yielding predictable results. 👍👍😎👍👍
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.
Definitely a dangerous channel. You're educational, and inspiring. I see a ton of old cars rejected and reasonably priced because of damage, or missing parts. Fighting cancer at the moment, but I so want to do this.
It’s amazing what you can do with the right tools, knowledge and abilities and the understanding the details of this type of work. I know it years of working on these projects like this, but where did you learn the basics skills to get into this type of work.
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.
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.
