Metal Shaping: Jaguar E-Type Front Bonnet Build in 25 minutes 

great seeing a craftsman at work, wish we could hear what he was saying...

Incredible workmanship! Loved being able to look at a sped up format to get an overview of the whole process!

this not only looks extremely difficult but it actually harder to do than it looks.... great workmanship.

What's really cool about this format is that you can really grasp all of the steps as a whole. All of the explanation on the other videos lets you know the general technique but fast forwarding makes it make more sense somehow. You guys have to do more of these! Especially if you have mirrored parts. Explain one and speed up the second. There is something there for sure. Oh and you get both crowds. Instant gratification crowd and the guys that want all the gritty details (like me).

beautiful gift you have, really a splendid job congratulations on passing by and this beautiful art. God be with you.

Wow, I for got how much work that is and you make it look easy.

Thats impressive craftsmanship! So many hours of experience, wow!

Art in motion, wonderful work.

What an old school master. With a huge shop full of machines it comes down to using your hands. I must say there are other ways of doing this much easier by making fiberglass splashes of the parts you want, then hammer forming them into place. A once over with the wheel to planish them and you’re done. I will say we owe you some gratitude for showing us the old tried and true traditional way. Nice work!

Absolutely beautiful. I'm working on a xke series 1 lower valance now. Your video will help thank you.

Excellent video! thanks Wray

Love the new format!

Living a dream, beautiful workmanship

Thanks for all those amazing videos on this project : I learn A LOT !

Incredible craftsmanship. An amazing combo of science and art. Nowadays, you could get a CNC former to form an entire E-type bonnet in one piece! But it wouldn't be hand made!

I'll just call it MAGIC and be happy to watch. 😍

Wow, that is one large English Wheel, it would be great to see more of it.

WOW... That's impressive!

WOW - this guy has EVERYTHING , what a monster English wheel

Amazing work Thank You !

You are a master ,l enjoyed your video very much keep up the good work thank you.

Nice job thanks for this video from Colombia

Você é um grande Mestre do metal!

Excelente trabajo 👌, un saludo desde Argentina!

A Great edit of the process from start to finish,just my personal opinion the heavy rock music is not needed the rest ok keep making the great content 👍

This might be off topic and maybe you already know this trick but I'm a sign painter and we use something called a 'Pounce Pad' and a 'Pounce Wheel'. The wheel looks like a tiny cowboy boot spur that pokes little holes in your tape template, so you would trace your layout lines in your pattern with it, then the pad is full of chalk that you dab over your pattern to transfer your line via tiny chalk dots that go through the pattern on to your work piece. Once you have the chalk dots on there you can connect the chalk dots with a sharpy. You've been doing this since Noah was a cabin boy so you're probably familiar but it might help someone. Also I love the sped up videos, I watch all the others too but the quick ones are good for my friends with extremely extremely short attention spanss who hit a piece of metal stretching the Christ out of it then keep hitting it the same way thinking it will shrink if they hit it enough times.

Awesome Sir...

Very talented artist

Excellent but I'd much prefer the ASMR - no music - version.

The process is amazing, the footage is great, but the soundtrack is really annoying.

Possibly The Greatest Story Ever Told... Part 1

You could be a genius, but for that music.

Background music is annoying. I love the contents. Thanks for sharing. Wishing I can attend your class someday.

That was fun. Still waiting for details on the arbour press tuck maker, it's not like you've got anything else on your plate 😜

8 thumbs down from those who aren’t happy with 5+ hours compressed into 25 minutes. Angry Birds was calling them! Thanks for the recap. Best series on RU-vid!

Amazing

Wow. You're good. Thanks

Thank you very much.

Master shape!

Not yet a lost art, superb craftsmanship.

here it is again in my recommended list , and another years gone by

Top Handwerker , saubere Arbeit , Respekt !!!

Absolutely amazing to see an artist/ master craftsman demonstrate the evolution of flat stcck into a beautifully crafted form. Wow

A metal poet! I even like your music 👍😎🌏🇦🇺🆒

Very inspirational, How about a presentation on making a long headlight bucket from a late 1930s car?

I find this stuff fascinating,wish I discovered this 30 years ago but I think at 56 iam a little to old to learn a trade like this.

AMAZINGNES!!!

Inspiration 😎

Nice work! What is the thickness of this metal sheet?

Like the content of the video,could do without the music!

Respect!

👏👏👏👏👏great job💪

Most impressive! Did you have to make the whole thing? How long (roughly) did that piece take to make?

Hi Wray :Hope your Christmas was very good and thanks for the postings on RU-vid they are enlightening and stir the interest of creation . I have been looking closely at your flexible shape pattern. At anytime does the tape do a cross hatch affect with the glass tape "or" are you overlapping closely layering the glass tape and how close ? I want to do this on a project but don't want to waste material in the Genesis of my project . Just wondering is your blacked thumb nail from what was called at on time a Garand Thumb or from the from the English wheel? Thanks Dan R.

Great video, Wray. Man, I wish I could work that fast!

That's a Man-God, a Maker, a Creator.

I really wanted to watch this, but that music is awful. The decision not to have any narration on this made it a very short watch for me. Close but no cigar.

Hi wray luv the show most old trades and skills are a dying art form which when lost we cant get back ,i was wondering what thikness material you use in alloy and steal to make car body panels stay safe and god bless.

QUAL E A MÁQUINA DE SOLDA QUE VOCÊ USA PARA UNIR AS CHAPAS.

Wow you are good

Really would like to see this Bonnet finished, never could find it here or in the video series :(

Fantástico 😊

After so long Wray I don't know if you still pick up the comments but if you do may I please ask you to run the end reveal down to normal speed for 15 seconds or so, so that we can appreciate the finished article more. After 25mins I thought I was short-changed a little.

What is that white pattern material and where to get at start of video please? Is it designed to conform well over compound curves? Thanks!

PARABÉNS PELO SEU SERVIÇO, GOSTO DO QUE VOCÊ faz, é uma arte, como que você chegou a?estou tentando fazer um veículo aqui na minha, estou aprendendo muito com você.

Wray, do you play the drums, too? What a great shop you have, I'm jelly!

Gracias Master por sus enseñanzas muy agradecido.. bendiciones saludos desde Bs As Argentina

diamond!

I’ve got 3 university degrees and LOTS of different skills but my life will be incomplete if I don’t learn how to do this before I die.

Nice work, what thickness aluminium do you use there?

SDV(scule,dispozitive,verificatoare) artă și materie cenușie!

Above Level!

What is that "hole" called?

That’s a lot of really nice tools I’ll never own 😭

Brilliant! Anyone ever made a steel body for a Corvette Stingray? Just curious. Cheers!

quality.

Eres un MIGUELANGEL DE LA CHAPA👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️😇

That nose piece alone is a work of art.....Wray how many times have you crushed your toes in the shop wearing those sandals or do you have ProShaper toe guards installed. I do the same but not so much anymore because....

Holy shit

What was this what happened to the learning videos ps how is the austin health going and the 9 11 dash plus the other jobs people would have loved to see getting finished or should say I would

No matter how right and perfect shape metal do ever get those pain in the ass holes in the metal shaping progress

Figur G15 entered the chat...

👏👏👏👏👏

Did he ever finished the bonet???

Check out the "Figur G15" video on youtube. Its a sheet metal forming robot thing. Might be the next big thing in custom/restoration body work.

Age and experience is better than youth and enthusiasm.

Good grief ,,, was that really a year ago ,,, Time flies like an arrow Fruit flies like a banana.

👌👌👌❤❤❤❤

Too bad there is so much background music and no comments.

Ur Workmanship looks Sensational 👌 But the Music 🎶 🎵 😩 is kill'in it 4me . And from the Comments it looks like 👍 l am with the Majority Perhaps u should listen 🎶 2 Us . If the Music was inplace & turned right ✅️ down might be better . 4me Ur Workmanship is enough & Perhaps some Commentary from u explaining the process . Cheers Robert 🍻 Australia

I already have music; I wanted to hear about your craft.

Wild guess - 20 grand for the bonnet?

凄いですね。叩くのでなく、熱で曲げる。見た事がありますが。

even wheeler dealers couldnt do that in 25 mins ,,,

👍👍👍🇺🇦

Great and informative video! but it should be retitled: “Shaping metal with every forming tool known to man”

Great videos. Please no more music. Please.

25 Mins. of this Video

All for a vehicle known for electrical problems. Now that is what I call dedication.
