Man I have been battling cancer for 3 years and I just wanted to say how therapeutic watching your videos are. Been fabricating for 40 years and I learn lots from you. Thanks man it gets me through the hard stuff!!

I love the homemade tools! That is a sweet one. So I have another project. Lol.

Love your trial and error "just get it done" approach for making these simple hand tools - not everything warrants being drawn in CAD and cut CNC. Great work Karl, and great channel!!

Haha that was the original! You’re welcome dude!

Maybe get a cnc shop to make a small batch and sell them? I bet many people would buy it.

I just want to say thankyou so much , I just got done making my Dimple die punch tool. I got my bead roller 3 days ago, I have a long way to go .....but maybe some day :)

When family members ask me what I'm watching, I say "jazz hands, hush up or I might miss something!"

I’ve got to say your wife is great at filming your channel .

A great technique but it is your eye for detail that beautiful that makes the difference. Like a great photographer you have an eye for seeing things others don't

Going to say it again so it sinks in....counter sinks in. haha. Another nicely done job. Thank you.

Another Great Idea and great tool Karl. I was thinking for the 3/16 “ alignment pin, for those that don’t have or want to use a transfer bit, most people that have tools have old broken or dull (burnt) drill bits laying around.. One of the 3/16” drills flute end could easily be fastened with Loctite or epoxied into one of the tool half’s. Also for a template most home building stores have pick bins where you can find the countersunk washers that could help with the size and shaping. Thanks again keep em coming.

That's a pretty neat tool, the way I made my dimple dies for tappered screws before I got my lathe was I took countersunk machined stainless washers that I brazed over a larger, drilled piece of cold roll steel or bar stock. Then I drill an undersize hole in the sheet metal I want the dimple in, take a tappered screw that fit the hole, place the sheet with the screw over my tool, give a good whack on the screw head, that will start the tapper and enlarge the hole, repeat with the correct size screw, then with a piece of tube of a slightly larger diameter than the washer placed over I hammer it. It can be a pain to center, but it gets the job done. If you don't have a lathe it's super easy to fabricate and in no time you can make different sizes.

Very cool. Give us old guys like myself to know how to do this some inspiration as well as making us relearner help us remember what we've already forgotten as well thanks for responding me the other day about you liking my comment I like how you approach the video so way you never read them in the way you were able to film them and how you show the real the real world when you mess up or forget stuff and you can put it in some of your videos if you can

Man keep making these types of videos, you just got a like, sub and the bell for this one! I really like that you show how to make tools! That is something that no one else is doing and it really sets you apart!

2:42 I was one of them when u made the door panels. I’m very excited to watch this video after watching that one.

I had some warp issues, but I just got my man Scotty on the job; he fixed it! CPT. J. T. Kirk Love you work Karl!

That's some mad etch-a-sketch skills! Now, if only I had a lathe...

Thanks Karl! I am an old farmer in Sweden and you just teach me some thing . Göran i Björnarbo

You're a badass....plain and simple! Love the calm demeaner even when you hit roadblocks...

Karl, Christina you both cease to amaze me. I enjoy, respect and very appreciate all your efforts. The learning curves you invite us to join in. Many thanks.

@@jenkinseric2 it's a common phase that is wrong. I have said the same thing and thought about it and wondered how it became a common phrase being wrong. English language is complex.

I'm old guy that's been doing body work for 40 years and now I'm watching you and found out that I know nothing about custom design and work. So I'm learning a lot so thank you for how you explain everything. Just started following you about a month ago. Foot surgery so can't move around and found you guys on Utube. So glad I did. Thank you for all your videos and you have a awesome wife. Always remember that. God bless

Man, would sell my soul for a lathe. Even a desktop mini one. Some day.

Ohhh I hate when I hit enter by habit before I was done commenting! Anyway, how does your build compare to like, a $600 dimple kit (8 size one)? Not sure what steel you used or how long it lasts before flaring etc.

That's the lathe getting fired up tomorrow morning 🤣👍😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That would be a great tool for you to offer for sale on your web site, I would buy one. Most people don't have lathe to make their own.

Got to make me a couple of those. Great tool, Great video.

Thank You Karl 👍🏼🍺

Awesome!

So cool! Keep these "How-To"'s coming!

Love that tool. It is now on my "to do" list.

So sano. Thanks for sharing!

Fabrication on the hoof and freehand turning - absolutely awesome. Thank you

Love your channel kid. Keep up the great work

AWESOME. I'm going to make one for my shop...

Nice job 👍

I'm sure this show will be good, your videos are golden!

Another great idea my friend!!! Awesome work!!!

I don’t have the equipment to make one of these but I would love to have one. If you decided to make one for sale I would appreciate the opportunity to purchase it. Also I came to your channel after watching you with halfassed custom. The two of you worked well together. You should do more together. I really enjoy your how to with what I call every-day tools (no specialized tools). Great job!!!

Awesome video today guys from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

I have found that if you do the dimples first and then bead roll it doesn’t distort the bead roll and it still keeps the panel tight. Works really well for when the step is close to the dimple.

He has become the metal whisperer. He definitely understands the metal that he's working with. Great job 👍 and nice video as always.

This is a way cool process that I can put to use right now. Thanks again Karl for sharing your insight. Always learn something new here.

great tool......

Love your videos, very good at what you do

Each video is so useful in understanding how to shape metal, thank you for your great explanations along with the hands on component. Brilliant!

Awesome! Thanks for making the video. I need to make one. It would be awesome on the teardrop.

Thanks so much, I learnt heaps.
