In today's video Matt explains in great detail exactly how he makes reverse curve panels. This is a skill that anyone who wants to start sheet metal fabrication absolutely has to learn.
Amazing skill and attention to detail it‘s sad that the views are not what they should be but we live in a world of instant gratification I‘m afraid🤔. Cheers Dave
Until I saw these latest videos, I wondered if in The Future anyone would know how to repair those 60's sports cars when they wreck. It's good to see young blood doing this kind of work.
thanks for uploading the video. this is a great tutorial on making a reverse curve. i have learnt alot from it. wonderful craftmanship. am looking forward to future videos.
It’s almost like rolling snot bolletjies. Just joking. I could not do this , I have no patience for it. Rather build the chassis or design something. I take my hat of for you guys. What makes your work so interesting for me is the fact that I am in the process of building a Cobra. It takes a lot of time because I am going all out on BMW. The engine,gearbox, front and rear suspension plus steering and other BMW goodies. 🇿🇦🇦🇺🇬🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Wow ! 😎 The progress, the explanation and the way the video is cut. Had to stop everything and watch it right away 😅 epic as always lads, keep on rocking. Roll on 17K !! 💪🏽
That young man, is brilliant and very skilled work. I see you are using a self made English Wheel. I am plotting my own so I can learn to wheel metal. Any chance you could do a short video on your English Wheel please?
Nice job. Ive learnt a lot just watching and nicely explained. Can you show more how you tip edges. Ive used and love using a beading machine but looks like you just hammer and dolly ing it on the fiber glass buck.
This is the best presentation I have seen on english wheel use probably in general but especially for reverse curves. Would you please comment: could this be done with a less strong/stiff english wheel than you have? e.g. harbor freight in the USA? Thank you
Thanks, With the 5754 it doesn't get hard to have to anneal it while wheeling. The only time when annealing is needed is when hammer forming larger sections.
hello Matt, am i correct in thinking that when you wheel the sides of the panel to produce the waivey edge you do not run the wheel off the ends of the panel? and the same again when you wheel inboard and work back out to the edge - you do not run the wheel off the ends of the panel. i tried making a reverse curve this week and am not having much success.
So when I'm making the edge wavy I am stretching the edge by running the wheel off the edge over the length of the panel then when I'm working in board I stop running off the edge to capture the shape essentially. Hope this helps 👍
Is that your new Project?The message I have send you about an engine.The engine is actually a very rare Fiat Abarth Ferrari 2.3 L straight six engine and it needs a new owner.😄🇿🇦🇦🇺🇬🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
That definitely sounds like something I might be interested in Mike. I'm currently out of country till end April but will want to contact you when we get back
