In this episode I thought it was a good idea to show you the method I use when making 3 piece fiberglass moulds for a set of front fenders.
Be sure to turn subtitles on so you don't miss all the added info.
This episode and the next one will be a little self contained mini series inside this Stagea build. These episodes should give you all the details you need to make most types of fiberglass moulds.

I like that it's just showing us how to do , and not a bunch of b-roll and talking to the camera .

@adrianvanderzandt4310 Год назад

Absolutely phenomenal! I've been moulding and casting for years (although in the prop making industry, where quick and dirty is the order of the day) and I have never seen such neat and meticulous work. TOW is a master craftsman. I learn so much from these videos. Much respect!

@TofuAutoWorks Год назад

Thanks mate! There's always a time and place for quick and dirty moulds too, ones with packing tape repairs and where you just coat the thing in PVA and cross your fingers but I usually point the camera the other way for those ones haha.

@nosaint01 Год назад

Best content on the internet....seriously. Even your mold is beautiful. Love it

Thanks bro I really appreciate that!

Perfect way to start the Sunday, excellent work 👍

Yay this might finally mean the end of the "imagine using that much bog in a panel..." Etc comments from those who still haven't figured out it's all narrated via subtitles lol

Oh I reckon I'll still get those almost constantly even after this build is finished haha 😂

@simoncherwell Год назад

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video. It was really fun and interesting to watch, and I learned lots. Clearly a lot of time goes into moulding even a single panel, particularly when it's done as meticulously as this!

@brynalban Год назад

Loving your work man! As a guy who's done some of this stuff myself I can only admire your patience and attention to detail. Top stuff.

@SunShyne_Culture Год назад

As an audio engineer, we always say half the mix is done during the recordings (1st stage). So what TOW is doing now means after casting it's straight prep for paint. There will be nothing to fill or correct. Best way, great job bro, love it. If it was possible I'd like you wing my car!

@bigdadgigachad3042 Год назад

Incredible work as always. Skills unmatched 🔥🔥🔥

@TofuAutoWorks Год назад

Thanks man. There's a tonne of other amazing channels out there, if you haven't already, check out Street Bandito and Easy Composites. Half of what I know I learned from those 2 channels alone. ✌

Serious props on progress per video and your schedule. Just got back into editing and forgot the amount of mindless hours it can consume. Great to watch a perfectionist with a vision, keep it goin!

@kenecchi Год назад

I wanted to argue with your flanges but it looks like they worked out great. That's some serious cardboard you've got there ;)

@TofuAutoWorks Год назад

Haha, yeah a lot of trial and error. I've done coreflute, signboard, polycarb, tin, and even made my own flanges out of fiberglass before for some really tricky shapes, cardboard is surprisingly good if you're spraying a sealer over it.

@kenecchi Год назад

@@TofuAutoWorks Awesome, I'll give it a try sometime, probably with a backing layer of csm just to be safe!

That's what I like to hear mate. I'll have more videos specifically on making the widebody for this one as well so that should be pretty helpful too. 👍

@GlassWerx Год назад

Awesome. Your miata is how I found ya a while back was looking at some diy widebody stuff and it popped up. Definitely 2 amazing builds. A stagea is definitely a car I wish and hope to one day get but import cost to the states are so high.

@animal_engineering Год назад

Awesome work, I need to make a lot of molds for a future project, have watched a lot of videos on the process. I really like the gap filler instead of body filler, much easier to work with. Bloody crazy how many hours goes into making a perfect part, and then the amount of hours to make a mold off that part.
