Thanks Brice, great to hear from you. Yes, when I started out KZread didn't exist and the PDR guys who came into our bodyshop when I was a panel beater wouldn't give anything away and were so secretive, which only made me more determined! I also don't claim to know it all and have learned loads on here from guys like yourself and others, so it's a great platform for us all to share our knowledge. Loving your work as always 👍👍👍

You are my #1 PDR technician i saw alot of your videos and i learn lots things. You are a unique on repair because you are using few tools with super result!! double bend and rubber tips are the main part of the repair including heat gun and knockdown the other technicians will show us for 1 repair a lot of roods, diferent size glue tabs and more and they will make repair horibble. Thanks a lot for having you our hero!! respect and love to you Sir.

@@1st_track_dents @1st Track Dents I am in the U.S. and have been seeking out as many channels and as much info as possible. Though your humbleness is refreshing as far as I can tell there are maybe 10 channels that someone can actually learn the actual text book type physics and theories behind the art of PDR...with not being a PDR Tech I will say that your channel is on that top 5 list of my watchlist, along with Dentless Touch, Dent Time, The Man of Steel(can't remember channel name)and a few others I can't recall off the top of my head...your easy to follow video production format, explanations that have just enough words to be understood by the lay person...and video editing quality is top 5-10 in the KZread PDR content, you may see yourself as a small avg shop in the U.K. but you have 100k+ and growing subscriber's for a reason who get inspired and learn new things everytime you upload a new video! Remember this when ever there is a teachable moment...good or bad...the art of taking someone's ugly disaster and making it beautiful again must make the work and painstaking attention to detail worth it in the end...keep up the great work! Whether you are too humble to accept the title or not...you are a Master in alot of our eyes, and who ever you teach/pass your knowledge on to will become the same...!

​@@grandsea2 Thanks Ricky for taking the time to write this and for your kind words I really appreciate it, it means a lot as I had to take the whole year off in 2021 due to a sudden illness and I'm still recovering now but managing to work again even though I'm not at full capacity yet. I wasn't even sure if my business would survive or if I would make any videos again. So I'm just glad to be back and can continue helping the PDR community even though I am just showing my way of doing things which isn't always necessarily the right or wrong way but I do seem to get the job done in the end! I am trying to come up with a new style of quicker video as these ones do take a lot of time so being able to do a quicker edited one would hopefully prevent the big gaps between the videos, so watch this space! Thanks again Ricky, putting yourself on KZread can be a scary place sometimes and as expected I do get the odd nasty comment here and there but these types of comments remind me that there are some really nice decent people out there who appreciate the work involved in making content like this and it makes it all worthwhile! Take care and I wish you lots of success! 👍👍👍

As I have commented before, great video. Picked up on your comment about feeling the panel to determine the strength of your input. I do the same on our glass topped oven - by touching the top (not the burner!), I can feel whether a pot is at a certain point of a boil. Second, you have to have a very experienced eye to do what you do. Good job!

Thanks Terry, great to hear from you. Yes I can imagine MTE must be amazing, I would absolutely love to go to one of those events but it would cost me a fortune to fly out and the lost days from working. We don't really have anything like that here in the UK. It's a shame as It would be great to just look and feel some of these new tools, I rarely get to buy new tools and when I do it's always a shot in the dark, hoping that the tool will feel right and work the way I want it to. Also most of the tools I want are always out of stock here in the UK! It only makes sense to buy direct from the USA if you are buying quite a few as you have to pay import duty on top. Hopefully I will win the lottery one day and get out to one of the MTE events 😂 Great talking and I wish you all the best 👍👍👍
