Can't believe I just watched 47 minutes of a guy hitting a fender with a hammer, but man am I glad I did. Those tips and tricks are so valuable. Thanks again.

Okay, I’m impressed. That doesn’t happen too often on here. The way you explain without rambling on and then into talking about your mothers uncle twice removed that nobody wants to hear about is not notch. You sir have earned another sub…

I really love it when you show how to fix metal damage with tools an average Joe/Jane can obtain.

You Sir are a master teacher. I`ve had a hammer & dolly set 35 years ago. Couldn`t get anything done with it and scrapped it. Your videos made me order a second set and gave me hope. Thank you!

this is the actual show I always wanted to see on discovery as a kid! I used to watch all this dramatic bullshit for maybe if you were lucky 1 minute of info, whereas this is gold from pillar to post...so good man! much thanks to you and the crew

Lost my Dad a few years ago. He was an old school metal finish lead repair body man. Watching your videos reminds me of home.

Not only are you fixing stuff, you are explaining how to do it, and even going into the details of all the little tricks and indicators. Your skills are amazing - very impressive and a joy to watch and learn.

We have all seen the Dog whisperer. Now We see The metal Whisperer. Always great content and never ceases to amaze! I love it!

Just want to tell you Karl & Christina something that I noticed is that your channel’s quality improves continuously which keeps me watching. Thanks you guys cause obviously you read and listen to your subscribers and you, caring , really stands out.

One of my favorite videos. Really liked the format (borderline ASMR, background music) and the simplicity of the tools used. Detailed explanations as usual. Love it ! This lifeless after market fender now has a story stamped into it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

ASMR and imparting knowledge are two extremely different things, having them compete against each other, simultaneously, is *NEVER* a good thing. It is easy to accidentally *abuse* the viewer when combining the individual "power(s)" of audio and visual. Video is so much more than the sum of it two main inputs, THAT is what makes it possible to be utterly compelling to produce AND consume. When the art and science skills are combined "magic takes place"; use it responsibly and judiciously for it resides at both ends of the good-bad spectrum. *Background music/noise/sound matters!!!*

Multiple camera angles, new cameras, good editing… love it you guys. Keep it up!

I can thank you enough for teaching me soooooooo much. It’s the simple things like prying against vise grips that seems so simple but overlooked too many times by myself. Looking back that little trick would have saved me tons of time. CHEERS BROTHER - RESPECT

Love how you have the tools to do it faster but teach how to do it with hand tools

Real world stuff right there. It's not all flashy new parts that cost more than most people can afford. I truly appreciate how down to Earth you keep things.

You what you got, make the rest, never pass a garage/yard sale. I like it! The combo shrinking stump with some nylon (They are sold as cutting boards). My favorite was at the end when clamped in, “Looks better than I thought and fits” out loud but the inner voice we can’t hear was Karl “After I ran over it and dropped a frame on it”. I shop owner teaching me in the 70’s said, “If you are not making a mistake, you are not doing much! DK, retired ASE M

Oh Karl. I've been there. I'll bet your were just furious with yourself for damaging a NEW and irreplaceable part like that fender. But talk about making lemonade out of lemons! That was one of your best videos yet! You are a REALLY good instructor and I learned SO much. Thank you for showing us how to fix something like that. You are doing GREAT work sharing your knowledge. And please do the video you alluded to on how to make that fixed dolly stand and one's own dollies!

The more you watch the more you absorb. Thanks for giving basic techniques anyone can learn. It really helps having someone who knows what they are doing demonstrate. Keep up the great work Karl!

I just repaired my neighbours Sprinter van... he took it to three bodyshops and they all put down for new wing, bumper and headlamp. Cheapest quote was £3'500. I repaired everything and charged him £800 and it all came out perfect. I'm an old school panebeater. nobody is properly trained these days and its always replace instead of repair.. Great video Karl, you show perfectly what can be done... I think things are going to change, goodbye throwaway society.. I will update you soon on my 41 Cadillac Coupe. best wishes from the UK

Great Practical video! Brought back a lot of good memories fixing stuff just because you can't get what you need! Anyone who has never done hammer on hammer work is either not a guy who does any work, or a liar! Really enjoyed this one!

Body shops in my area don't repair dents anymore, they only replace. Nice to see someone still does this type of work.

Ive tried watching a few videos on proper hammer and dolly usage, and this on by far is one of the best ive found. Im a novice at it and when you get the hang of it spending some quality time tapping low spots out of a panel sure is relaxing and rewarding work. I like the home made slap hammer, will have to find a thrift store file and make one myself. Great work!

I'm an auto mechanic with 30+ years experience and by no means am I a body repair guy. I have an inductive heater for siezed nuts and bolts. It works absolutely amazing. My point is that you can buy all types of attachments for this tool and one attachment I bought is a panel heating pad. I have used it to heat dents, dings, and creases and then hammer them out with various hammer and wooden hammers I've made over the years. Now I have never truly been concerned with paint finish or any real technical issues but heating the metal with that inductive heater has really stepped my abilities up. It actually makes the outcome look like I know what I'm doing. I'm just curious if you or anybody here in the comments has any experience using one, and if not I do suggest trying one as it has worked for me a complete novice.

A little time and a positive attitude saved a scavenger hunt for another fender . Excellent

Oh good! I'm glad it wasn't Kristina or Karl that decided to put music to your video. Whew! 😋 Great stuff, Karl! You do vantastic work.

Regarding hitting a hammer with a hammer... While it's good advice for occasional hammer users or novices not to hit a hammer with another, you are a professional and understand the dynamics of what you are doing. You understand the physical properties of the metal that hammers are made of and compensate for the possibility of shattering by using a soft face hammer. This is called INNOVATING! I personally would do the same thing. The cross peen hammer is the perfect force director for what you're doing. Keep innovating!

Thank you so much for doing these videos I’ve learned so much about hammer and dolly work from you it’s helped me out allot.

Always very well explained and successful. Thank you Karl.

Great video - loved it! Thank you for a detailed video on not fast forwarding parts. back to basics. Something we all need

Love this van... Real big job on this piece...

You’re a good teacher Karl. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see that van back in the videos!

Yes sometimes having a stationary dolly to rest the work piece onto while massaging it back to form is a tremendous help when you could use a third hand. Thanks Karl, always interesting, and informative videos while fun to watch.

I really learn a lot from these type instructional videos! Thank You! JD

Love it man! Well done!

Carl you are truly a gifted Artisan ! Thank you for making videos to share your knowledge!

That's great work Karl! I'm so glad I found your channel. You've shown how much can be done to bring back old (and new, lol) sheet metal. You've inspired me and I can't wait to practice on my own projects.

I feel like i'm watching the Bob Ross of metalworking right now (does Canada know Bob Ross?) "Here's another happy little dent... we're just going to give him a little massage with our hammer and dolly." You make it look simple with your step by step explanation but you take a step back and it's actually a work of art. Incredible work with the metalworking and the video!

Another great lesson, thanx. And the music was very sooothing. Nice work.

Another great video, I have learnt so much from you from welding to panel beating. Thanks

Thanks for the very helpful video Karl.

Excellent video Karl, thanks!

Really enjoy seeing a tradesman at work very interesting and entertaining Thanks Guy’s

Best tutorials on KZread, hands down! Thank you for taking the time to teach these priceless skills

When it comes to teaching, you and @fitzee are killing it! Thanks for the education.

Thank professor, another valuable lesson! Seriously thanks for taking the time to show us how it’s done. The filming and editing did look great too. Can’t wait for the dolly stand video. Cheers!

Karl, that was great. You make it look so easy!

Out of all your hammering videos this one made me understand it the most. Thank you

Thanks for sharing your skills and spending the time to teach us! Hope nothing but great things for you !!

Great content, information and explanation of the work process from start to finish. The humility and skill you have are what make your channel phenomenal! Keep up the good work!

Recently, found this channel and I love the content. Thanks Karl for putting out real content that is useful to people. Very useful information for me!

I came across your videos by accident and have spent the past few days watching them with enjoyment, your work is amazing and very informative, you are very talented and i look forward to watching more of them when i get the chance, yesterday i made myself a slapping hammer from a piece of flat bar, and today i made a dolly from an off cut chunk of steel for my collection which was motivation i got from you, also the camera work is excellent. Thanks a lot.

This is why I watch this channel, Informative and a full explanation that covers what's next in the process. Look forward to the next one

Your camera work is excellent, the person is quite good at aiming at the details, and your explanation as you work is quite valuable, I've watched it done many times, doing other work, and have learned quite a bit from both the video and the narrative explaining your thought process. You have great patience, and your selection of music is quite soothing, and in keeping with the work. I really enjoy seeing the metal "bend to your will" and take its proper form.

This was good video, full of practical instruction on how to work out a variety dents and creases. I enjoyed it very much, Thanks for posting it.

Good video. Keep the good stuff coming.

Thanks for letting us in on the tricks of the trade were to start and patience is the a big part (something I lack) Noel

Wow, what an awesome informational video. I can't believe how light you are tapping and getting results. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Japhand is the man. Thank you Professor.

Hello✋. Thanks for the video. We have a night, and I'm watching instead of sleeping.🤦‍♂️😁 Sincerely from Russia🤝

Thanks for this...patience and an expert eye help a lot. I've got a mangled fender from a 11T Ford that needs a heap of tlc...so this will help a lot.

As usual a great episode!

You are truly a master of your craft Nice work

Most relaxing vdo. So much better when every other would is not a cuz word like some other. Much class bro

I done the same thing you did fair play for not leaving it out love your channel proper as it happens

Very nicely explaining video. Turned out very well there. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Weld On. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.

Love your work Karl

Not even half way through this tutorial and I've already learned lots of useful information. Thanks a ton and keep being cool man.

Very good video Karl, I'm sure this can help a lot of folks develop the confidence to attempt to work on panels themselves, excellent video Karl.

Best video since the 40 Willys hood video that got me hooked on your channel! I love watching dented panels get put back in shape.

Now it looks much better! Having the knowledge of how to attack a damaged panel sometimes can be so satisfying! What to do first sometimes is the hardest choice!

Very clever of you! Create a KZread Vid of a damaged fender showcasing your metal working skill! 😁 Very nicely done!

Thanks for sharing this. Cheers Carl. 🍻

Thanks for the lesson you are a true craftsman!

Appreciate the noticeably absence of time-lapse on this video. Please consider using less time-lapse on other videos. I know that it's necessary sometimes in order to condense the video time but I find too much to be quite annoying. Thanks for taking the time to describe the thought process with which you approach each area of damage. Great job Karl 👍

Slow is how this sorta thing is done which should clearly be the point being able to learn from this video.. if you want to appease persons with no attention span maybe make another condensed version but I thoroughly am stoked to see the grind so as to know what I might get into and what it takes to make it quality.. otherwise like you’re saying.. aftermarket .. this also isn’t a fast or sped up process to begin with …. Which is why I appreciate that you took your time to show us how to do it properly with real time and theory versus a jacked up TikTok video with edm that left my head spinning and still knowing nothing .. I’ve watched most all your videos .. thanks for the educational manner you’re taking that one can actually learn a skill.. skills take practice .. practice takes time

Once you see the idea, I don’t see the point of watching 20 minutes of realtime hammering or 30 minutes on an English wheel. At that point the only learning to be had can only come by grabbing a sheet and working it through with your own hands on your own tools. I already watch most of these at 1.5x so using up more time in a video would be an unwelcome waste of time for me. I think there’s a reasonable balance a lot of the time- making long drawn out segments out of repetitive hammering will achieve nothing with about equal benefits to watching an hour-long video of paint drying, orbital sanding of a stack of pine boards, or clouds passing overhead. The production is what it is; I’m not asking for shorter videos; I’m not his only viewer. But I surely don’t want longer videos filled with mundane tasks. Besides- and I haven’t looked- I’m sure there are plenty of videos out there of clouds passing overhead. @MakeItCustom
