Those rivets are so badass. Love that contrast, man. Great work.
I'm 16, also in Anderson who recently started watching your videos and I think I could do something like this when I finally get my truck, keep doing what you do man I enjoy it!

thats awesome. thanks for watching
You are awesome !!!! Thank you for posting this video. I love working with metal and welding and etc. be blessed !!
Very nice and neat fabrication, good narration too. The completed box looks really good and I particularly liked your bead roller work. This was such an enjoyable video and such a neat box that I find myself rewatching it. Update: I liked your battery box so much that I bought myself some metal fabrication tools and equipment and am learning to use them! I'm looking forward to making myself a titanium tent stove and some custom configured storage boxes after I've gained more experience. Thank you for the inspiration, seeing your battery box really made me want to make one!
As Picasso is with a brush, you are with that magic wheel. Very creative Brother, Top Job Mate. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
This just shows that prep and attention to detail pay off. Great video, the sketching was awesome

I realize this is an older video, but nice work. I like manufacturing boxes out of everything from cardboard to steel sheeting. I started doing that back in my early teen years to make foot controlled sound effects pedals for guitars, and carried it forward to today. Interesting to see how boxes are produced for every type product we buy.

Found your channel a while back and I love the content. I'm curious about how you learned so much from the mechanical aspect of cars to even the fabrication of the custom pieces. I'm trying to learn more about mechanical stuff on my own since nobody really taught me but your channel is helping me out a lot. Keep up the good work my man!

One way to learn is to just try it, you won't always do it right the first time but you will learn how things work and soon be able to picture in your head how things will go together and how they will look before you even pick up the first tool. It would take years of training to "know" how to do all of the things Kyle has on here, he is still learning as he goes too I am sure, sometimes you just have to "Do work son"

@drew monty you just have to do it. I went from working on my own cars to being a R&R guy, to building custom cars and race engines. I still don't know everything. I watch a lot of these channels to get insight on things and learn new tips and tricks. You never stop learning, when doing tubing I ALWAYS used a notcher until I stumbled across another fabricators channel who taught another way to do it. Keep watching and keep doing brother
Sweet work as usual, I like the "radioactive" design on top!
Keep up the great work !

Really enjoyed this video, as always. It was like you read my mind, I'm wondering what's cleaning the permanent marker- acetone. I always use CAD when designing things. Cardboard Assisted Design, but a lot of the time it doesn't fit right, after transferring it to sheet metal. Probably doesn't help that my sheet metal brake is 2 pieces of angle iron in a bench vice, and a hammer. It works for me, and you're great at explaining things, why you do it a certain way. Who said you can't teach a 50 yr old dog new tricks.

Clecos just make your life so much easier. If you don't mind me asking, why do you use the painter's tape? I want to make my own sheetmetal footlocker and this is spot on with everything I want to do. Aviation mechanic with VERY LITTLE sheetmetal experience.
how thick is that metal sheet , Sir ?
I may have missed it, but what gauge steel are you using? Great vids btw!
What if I don’t have the piece of equipment that helped you bend it?
Awesome job

Having a CAD program of some sort would allow to make the initial mistakes digitally. Especially if that program has a metal folding add on. But apart from that its a great video
