excellent video and BEAUTIFUL results!!

I am a programmer. I got nothing to do with metal. But your videos makes me feel like I can give this a try. What a great teacher you are.

simple tools and easy is something i didnt see in the video.. your are a craftman with years of experience and make it look easy.

So...when I first saw this video, I thought to myself, “You can’t do that!” And, damn, YOU DID! Terrific. Just terrific!

Very tidy work, it's nice to hear you acknowledge that not everyone has your skills or facilities, without being condescending.

A solid relatively simple project Ron. Really shows what you can do when you put your mind to it. 👍👍

"simple tools" says the guy with a shop full of metal working equipment. LOL

I’m not a metal worker but I found this fascinating. A really good, well explained tutorial. Cheers. 👍🏻

Firstly, I loved how clear this was, and Ron comes across as friendly. Really enjoyed watching. I don't know whether a beading tool and a shrinker/stretcher still counts as simple tools, but it was great to see a master at work. I've just made a little hole die and am suddenly overly enthusiastic about finding things to make... maybe not a bomber seat just yet though 😄

Thanks Ron! I've always enjoyed watching your videos. They keep getting better and better!

WOW! Nice work sir!

What a great video Ron! Its cool you showed a lesser complicated way to build the seat compared to the older aluminum seat video. It's easy to get overwhelmed with a project when looking at it as a whole, so it's nice to see a complex part broken down to the basic fundamentals of each component. Thanks for the great info you share with us!

I have no business in these comments, but the algorithm has been suggesting I watch more Ron Covell metal working videos. Ron, I know you're going to see this comment, because I just scrolled through the comments and gave up after noticing that you comment on EVERY, SINGLE, COMMENT. What a cool world we live in, when you have an absolute master at your fingertips. Gone are the days of washing the brushes of legendary artists, hoping for a nugget of wisdom. Thank god! For those who wish to access this bounty of information, it's right there waiting to be plucked from the vines. And surely they are thankful, and we all are, because like design, art is everywhere, so much so that it is often invisible and taken for granted, but necessary fuel for the mind and soul. Visually you remind me of my father. He is a brilliant artist, able to harness any medium, but absolutely intolerable. Your gentle kindness is absolutely endearing, your presentation of technique is so approachable, and the finished product is cleeaaan. Peace and love Ron, you absolutely magnificent bastard. All that being said, no one is perfect, and never meet your heroes.

So much skill. Thanks for sharing this Ron. You continue to inspire.

Ron, I love your use of fixtures for both of your bomber seat builds. You are truly inspiring. Another great video.

You are very talented, there is absolutely no way anyone can replicate those seats.

Ron, you are simply a wizard! I love watching your videos and picking up pointers here and there. Thanks for the great content!

Very helpful video Ron. I cant wait to try this out. Absolutely love your work

Beautiful Craftsmanship right there !!! I've played with wood , leather and other mediums , now I think metal is my next challenge 👍🤣

I always loved working with sheetmetal at school. I cam after I saw your collaboration with This Old Tony and was blown away. Makes me want to go out and buy a few additional tools and build something.

So glad you made this video for KZfaq. Keep it up!

0:10 This is the first time I've seen someone downvote their own video. But seriously - nice work! Makes me want to try metalworking myself

Dear Ron Covell, the way you explain your projects is so inspiring for us who love metal shaping. I follow your work with deep respect for your experience and knowledge. Greatings from Germany.

That bending fixture may be just what I need for a project I'm working on involving laser-cut 1mm thick PET plastic. So, thanks for an interesting video.

Sehr schön Metallarbeit!! Sie sind ein sehr sympathischer Menschen! Danke für die Infos! So macht Metall bearbeiten Spaß!

true master you are. always make everything look so easy! the body buck work itself in your other videos is amazing, much less the actual shaping to put on them...

You are a true master Ron. Thanks for the great content!

Ron, that was simply awesome and like a true craftsman you made it look easy however you have the one thing most of us don’t and that’s a life time’s experience. You look so comfortable working the metal and using the tools but at least you have given us a way to have a go without a lot of expensive equipment. Thanks and cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺

You make it really easy for a new guy to learn. You’re like the Bob Ross of metal work.

Wow...that Seat looks soooo Complicated to make...you make it look Easy!!!

Awesome project and video. Thanks for sharing it ron. Take care. Pete

You make it look easy Ron 😀, that large radius bending jig is a great idea!

Amazing skills Ron thanks for the video

Super work and teaching. Thanks Ron!

A seat like that but modernized with leather cushions would be supercool for gaming desk chair. It would have to be shaped a bit differently, a bit more like a sports car seat.

Your always getting us inspired with new projects. Great video.

Hola desde Argentina un gran saludo a la comunidad del custom de EEUU y gracias a covel por enseñar viejas técnicas que para mí son las mejores !!

I like this version and it shows how you could combine aspects of the more complicated version with this to make a seat that would look good and be fairly easy to make. The secret is to plan it and this video shows how thinking it out makes the finished article work. Another great video from a great teacher.

You are one skilled craftsman!

Thank you so much for making the video. It has inspired me and many others. Also thanks for passing your knowledge on.

Easy is relative. This is easy if your first name is Ron and last name is Covell. You are a master of metalcraft with skills to make the hard look easy. I can only marvel and look in awe at your work good sir.

Thank you Ron. Fantastic as always.

Upset I missed You in Minnesota a while back. I was less than 5 miles away but taking lone care of My dying Mother (Who is till alive and She wins every time Ron) takes precedence always. I'm not working to care for Her, but I WILL OWN every one of Your videos some day. You are a true master workman and inspiring Sir.

That is absolutely beautiful

Simply amazing!

Nice post Ron

Wow, just.. wow! Amazing how easy you make this look mister Covell. I enjoy metalworking a lot but thusfar sheetmetal hasn't been my friend. Thick steel plate or round and square stock I can sort of handle, but sheet.. difficult. One day I will definately give this seat a try. So very well explained. Thank you! Greetings from the Netherlands. Mark

Why does this not have a million views yet ?You are a wizard.

Very nice. I love this seat. 👍

Wow! I love it! I have no use for it but I still want one!

Awesome Ron.😊

You are a metal fabricating legend. Seriously, excellent work! Glad to see a more accessible bomber seat design out there. If you're still looking for ideas, would you consider showing us how to make a basic fuel tank?

Ron, An outstanding piece of work! I really enjoyed getting to meet you in Detroit. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me and take a picture with me. All the best! Mike

Beautiful

That's so ridiculous how easy you make it look..... It's really not that easy but I'm willing to try it out now after seeing this video. 😁

Awesome video. Thanks Ron

Good job! Congratulations.

And subbed.. I don't have the tools done yet, but I am working my way to make something out of sheet stock. Making a fixture doesn't necessarily have to be all steel. Plywood and hardwood are great tools for banging aluminium. Working with 2mm stock is a bit heavy, but it's either that or having flimsy parts.

Amazing videos, really enjoy watching. Putting together my own work shop, never been to any metal work school but very handy with my hands and feel like i understand where your coming from. I am a grasshopper in the art of metal work i have much to learn from your videos.

very cool, i'll need to try that out. thanks rc

beautiful work

Your work is amazing, regards from Chile =)

I really like the look of that seat. I'm going to try to cut out the pieces I need with my powerplasma cutter.

Beautiful!

Excellent work

Thanks Ron love your work I'll be giving these a go

Great job! 👍👍👍

Wow. Amazing.

Really Metal Art Ron! I Learned a lot to use in my workshop, thanks! I just subscribed.

great job💪🍀👍 thanks for sharing

Thank you for share use your tech video, I would like to see both projects really.

This is fantastic. I've been looking to make a seat for my go kart (I'm 6'11") but proper XXXL go-kart racing seats are eye-gougingly expensive ($200-$400). However, I do have a heap of scrap 1.6mm stainless sheet laying around.... This video helped a heap with the design method - so I'll give it a crack next weekend. Thanks!

Looks great

Cool seat Ron ,by the way thanks for the kind words about my car at the Detroit Autorama...Don

Thanks this video was very helpful

Exceptional!

Looking at an item like this you generally think it's stamped out on a multi million $ press in a factory. Producing it like this it's a real work of art!

I just finished a hexagon to round pipe, for an air breather box I am making for an 85 camaro. I used your technique from your square to round.

Dude, awesome video!

You're the man Ron!

Gorgeous results- subscribed!

Nice work.

Thank you from Russia. It's really good work, and interesting technic to working with sheetmetal. And I want to try do something after seeing your video. Its really great.

Man that is sweet!

Great video Ron,watched the previous one and saved up to but dimple dies and bead roller,now I have them I'm about to try making a bomber bench seat for my ratrod, Trev's blog reminded me about this and I'm about to start this project,thanks for your inspiration Elliott.

Love it, thanks

muito top seu trabalho show de bola

It looks better then recently created!!!)

This is amazing!

Wow, very nice! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Maybe a video how to make an "aviator wingdesk" would be cool.

Awesome!!

would love to see a motorbike fairing being made like an old style cafe racer fairing.

Thank you.

Very nice sir💐💐...

Damn that is cool , wish I had got in to that for a career .. you are a great fabricator

Hi Ron, Great results. TFS, G :)

Very nice 👌🤙.. thanks for sharing your awesome video 👍 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

very very good

Glad I subscribed. I have no desire for a bomber seat, but I love your video. The seats are cool tho.

you are awesome !!!
