I grew up in a bodyshop picking my step dad's brain and not once have I understood "hammer on dolly off"....I'm 34 lol and I understood your wanting it to be a leverage point instead of an avil.....in 5 minutes of the video🤯🤯 you're a heck of a teacher man!
@robertgibson882 жыл бұрын
I've watched a lot of body shows here ,and not 1 has even mentioned the ting you get when hammering out dents as you did. Never have they said to stop at that point. Wow I've learned something today ,and I've always said if you learned at least 1 something in a day. You have not wasted a day. Thanks!

Mid 40's here. I almost always wear hearing protection. My hearing still tests out to around that of somebody in their late teens early twenties. Hearing protection pays off. Eye protection on the other hand. I use it all the time and I still need glasses to read the fine print ;-)

Worked as a machinist making aircraft rivets on cold heading machines back in the 70’s , the shop supplied cotton for our ears back then. Didn’t help to much I guess because I also have considerable ringing and hearing loss. Seems like nowadays my favorite word is WHAT.

@@MakeItKustom That is definitely good advice. I lost half the hearing in my right ear a short time ago due to someone not closing the inner door at a gun range (before I had put on hearing protection). I lost half my hearing in my left ear due to surgery as a teenager. My hearing is really weird now, left ear hears midrange to high range and the right hears midrange to low range. I have a private pilots license and had to go through extra testing to get my license recently. You don't know what you have until you loose it. Also, I think that eye protection would be a good idea. When we are young e think we are invincible.

@danpickett91032 жыл бұрын
This is an excellent video Karl. The one thing I would suggest is working out the damage more in stages Specifically, if you had done some of the straightening on the sides earlier it probably would have made it easier to get the nose to close up. Some of the length that was taken up by the right side being bent was pulling the front open. I usually work all around a panel a little at a time. That seems to make everything a bit easier and it can ease some of the stress on the metal. Another thing I would mentions is, dents do not only stretch metal, they also cause shrinkage. That's one of the mysteries of dent repair. I have 50 years of experience doing this. I really like your approach. I wish I had some of your energy. Good Job!
