Hands down one of the best KZfaq channels out there. A humble craftsman who enjoys sharing his craft and teaching, and with no drama added. Can’t get enough of these videos. I have been recommending your channel like crazy. Thank you for all that you do. Keep up the great work!

At 79 yrs now, looking back at how we did things.in the 60's, I'd never dreamed that metal working could be taken to this degree of excellence. I'm an old hot rodder, drag racer & funny car racer at the old mission track and north west US. Learned about bodywork, shrinking & stretching the old fashioned way with acetylene torch, dolly & picking hammer. All gleaned from books in the new Westminster library. I'd never dreamed of the stretching, shrinking tools, planiishing or English wheel. Covered up my rough work with tinning compound, 70/30 body solder, bees wax & oak paddle. Just a shade tree guy & loving how you simplify complex panel work. Wish I could re do my model A or my 41 convert knowing what I know now. Love yr show, keep up the great work

I love watching you and I'm 63 and you are so down to earth and really easy to listen to. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching and learning something each time. Thank you

This quickly became my favorite channel, you do amazing work, your an excellent teacher, and I really enjoy the fact that you teach the “original, hands on techniques” vs. going to all your machinery. It makes the content very relatable to most garage fab guys.

You're growing fast because your humble, talented and you both are genuinely likeable people who deserve some success. Thanks for all the great content and tips.

I do believe the reason you have grown so fast is the way you teach! Keep up the GREAT work !!

There's always something to learn watching your videos, great job! I've been following Bad Chad for a couple years, the ones that criticize him either never get off the couch and actually do something, or they don't understand what he is doing and why he does it. He builds stuff for himself, not a museum. He gets it done using basic tools and has a knack for simplifying the complex. He is not afraid to show his failures as well as successes and doesn't pretend to be a "no-it-all". In his latest video he made a custom windshield for his chopped Mercury using an old bar-b-q qrill! Took him a couple tries and almost burnt his shop down, but he persevered and got it done! Much respect for you and Chad for showing others how to get it done.

Been watching Chad since he was Green Goblin on KZfaq, like the way you Canadians build " no bullshit drama " stuff

I been a fan of Bad Chad for a few years . He definately gets it done his way. Im also enjoying your channel learning the mastery you possess and share with the viewers. You are an excellant teacher and thanks for what you do. Oh yeah, much respect for the shout out to Chad!

One of my favorite KZfaq channels. Love watching you create something from flat metal.

This couple is this most charismatic pair on KZfaq. So good to see Christina make a cameo the other day.Like that song, behind ever great man is a great woman. Karl ,I keep talking about you in Australia here and they all know you are. From car guys to pipe welding guys. If you are ever thinking of coming down under you are already a superstar. It's not just your skill, its your likeability

Karl ! nice job mate you bad chad and fitzee are the best Canadians on you tube love all you guys work man !! Much respect !!

That panel looks fantastic. Good visual explanation on how you needed to bubble the panel to fit. Great work.

For someone that’s not been wheeling for a long time, you’re doing great 👍

I like watching Bad Chad and go Wayne they do an excellent job she's a hell of a welder thanks for giving a shout-out to him

Great panel development techniques-Looking great! ✅👍

'Those that can, do. Those that can't, critique others on what they can improve upon.' Been fixing metal on my own cars and trucks since 1969 when a pro body shop covered rust I wanted replaced with masking tape and body filler. Grate demonstration on the problem solving of a shape with the English Wheel! 👍👍

More education from someone who wants to do it the older way. Totally enjoying this!

Oh, man, I have to say, that your videos editing is the best! The microphone settings is perfect. The low volume soundtrack at the background - is spot on. Angles of the camera is perfect. I mean really good quality video! One of the best metal fabricators shows on youtube. Everything about yours videos - lessons you gave, tips and tricks is SUPER good. Your knowledge is undeniable! Thank you for sharing with us. I am a young welder. Always was into the metal fabrication, but never pursued that career. I watch your videos as a relax, during coffe brakes or free time. I always learn new things from you. A BIG THANKS to you! #bigfanfromLithuania

Great work. I too enjoy Bad Chad and Jolene. His visions and methods show that you don't need millions of dollars worth of equipment, big budgets, nor a large crew to build custom cars.

Karl you are very good. I have been an Engineering trade teacher here in Australia for 30 yrs and you are as good at explaining what you are doing as anyone I have worked with in those thirty yrs. The others doing similar shows try to be funny to cover up there nervousness or act like jerks. You speak very well and are likeable. Keep it up.

I am a huge fan of hearing your brain work as you decide how you're going to attack a problem; it reminds me of how my buddies and I work on our projects. I'm just starting to do the sheet metal work on my daily driver/project car, and your videos are a huge help. Also, Kristina's shooting/editing is excellent! I never feel like I'm missing something. Kudos!

Just wanted to say thank you for the time you take to show us better ways to make our own panels, I don't have any fancy equipment like you do but I'm picking up some basic stuff that really helps.

Congratulations on the channel growth….. it’s been an amazing ride - you deserve all the recognition. Your honest, humble master-level presentations are who you are, and being genuine is why so many are watching. Please keep true 👍👍😎👍👍

Ya, you’re SO skilled and humble! Every video is sweet to watch.

Thank you very mutch Karl for the partage of your experience and the pleasure for me to see this work .sorry for my bad english but y try .tkank you for all

You guys are the reason for 100,000 subscribers! No need to thank us. Thank you!! Learning sooo much watching your tips ,plus easy to watch. Look forward to your posts, constantly checking to see if a new post is up. Thanks again mate. 👍🏻

It's so awesome that your sharing your love of metal working on KZfaq. I've been trying to learn tig, always trying to get that perfect look while burning holes in my joints. The sheet metal work you showed on the Cadillac, made me realize that I just need to get metal to flow. And stick some filler in along the way. Thanks for time! Mark

Thank you for sharing ur craft ,you and bad Chad , and my friend P are the reason why I can build a car today

Bad chad is a great artist. Love his work. He may be crazy and a little out of the box but at the end of the day I love what he has done.

Congrats on the milestone guys!! Well deserved, you make great content!! Keep it real and we will keep following your journey!! From 2 Girls Racing in Australia!

That was cool ,you recognizing Bad Cad...is a very unique person... He does things his way...and you are right he gets it done and very quick.... I really enjoy the way you explain the why and why you do things... Keep em coming... I hope you and your wife have a wonderful holiday season...that's all for now ,LOVE LIFE LIVE LONG...BE SAFE

I recon both you and bad Chad are smart enthusiastic people both love designing and making beautiful masterpiece I enjoy both channels hat's of to you both all the best to you and loved one's great job

I appreciate that support for Chad and Jolene too! Some of their recent videos seem like he's trying to defend his decisions, so I think it's super valuable to have another builder let him know that he's got nothing to defend.

You did a good job explaining the technical and theory of stretching in relationship of a balloon. I completely understood exactly what you meant.

I've watched Jesse James use an English wheel for years and was always psyched out that I would never be able to do it myself but watch you work metal and explain how to do things has really give me the confidence to go for it so I've booked up a welding course and ordered my own English Wheel - so here goes...! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Found your channel couple months ago Been watching every video since. That was nice giving a heads up to Bad Chad! With watching you and Chad , I don’t watch any car shows on TV anymore. Thanks

Thank you for your videos. Australia here, just love your videos because I learn so much. Great music!!

Just watching you select out the area and panel you want to make, and then the process of hammer, rolling, fitting, it's easy to see how you're matching the new metal to the complex shape formed by stamping, originally established, and the many ways of pushing the sheet that forms the three D shape. I've worked with die forming most of my life, easy to see how the dies stretch and form the sheet in the stamping, and I am only now seeing how that shape is forced out by careful selection of radius, direction and number of passes, move each section you focus on. It's a real pleasure watching you do this so carefully, exactly.

You make look easy what makes me watch your videos that you tell everyone you not best you don't have big Head syndrome . everything time watch your videos I learn more about metal fabrication 👍👍

Thanks for sharing your expertise. And thanks for not talking bad about other car guys/gals. Bad Chads channel is awesome too

Karl you have out done yourself again congratulations on 100 K viewers...consider making the giveaway international as some of us are across the seas... here's to 120K viewers coming up shortly🍾🍾🍾

We so appreciate you two!

Nice shaping of a tricky lower panel. West Coaster shouting out to the East Coaster, cool. 😎👍🇨🇦

Just discovered this channel a few days ago... been watching hard since.. great content! Thanks for the Bad Chad words .. Peace out!

Karl you are a true craftsman and gentleman, your knowledge and explanations are second to none

Congrats on clearing 100k guys!! Wicked skillz, great camera work and a awesome way of explaining complex things got you here. Keep up the great work!

This video is an eye opener as it shows that it is a lot of work to make your own patch panels correctly.

Another great video. Would love to see more custom metal work surrounding rust repair panels. The van video was nice as well. Two other Great KZfaqrs would be Bad Chad. He is the next George Barris. And another great metal guy just showing how to make metal repairs with simple hand tools. It's Fitzee's fabrication. All 3 of you guys are very humble, down to earth and love to share what you do with others.

I'm pretty picky what I spend my time watching. Your channel is awesome. I really appreciate your style of video and the good editing. It takes time, but its worth it.

Just amazing workmanship! Very impressed!

Noo, it’s because of YOU GUYS. ❤️‍🔥 You post rad content.

just want to say thank you for your you tube channel. so nice to see someone thats still real. Thank you and God Bless

Your a natural, love watching you work on cars!

You’re attitude and dedication are what is missing from 90% of the general public 😎 You are inspiring 👍

Man , thank you so much for putting me onto Bad Chad. That bloke is hilarious,him and his mate doing the plexiglass bbq was hilarious, fucking Cheech and Chong with tools and flames😎🤘👍🍺

7:03 in the UK, up early , cup of tea, and Make it custom.......nice!

I never knew you were on KZfaq, I've seen you at many car shows in the last few years. You are a wealth of great knowledge. I look forward on watching your videos. 🤘

Superb,, thank you. The explanations were great, the English wheel can seem like a black art and you’ve taken some of the mystery out of it right there.

Congratulations on 100k subs!!! You guys are a Huge asset to the KZfaq car community!

You’re growing fast because your content rocks ! Thanks for all the awesome how to vids and I appreciate your respect for your viewers and that’s why they respect you ….

Your wicked content got you to 100K! You explain things very well and we completely understand. Keep it up!!

You make it look so easy Karl 😂😂 i learn something new every time i watch one of your video's 😁😁🤘🤘

It’s growing bc people that can’t do it want to watch it and the ones who want to learn how can get some real good tricks of the trade from your channel. I’ve been watching for the past month and this week I finally started cutting the crushed fender off my C-10. Watchin you motivated me to get off my ass!!

Karl good morning to you. Really like your channel. Like another watcher, we did the repairs the old way. It worked but it took time to get it right. So much easier now days. Keep it up. Love the way you explain and then perform the work.

Wow, I look away for a second and 3k more subscribe! You and Kristina are smashing it!

Bad Chad is amazing...wish I was as creative and skilled as him!

Great video! Your explanations were perfect and made it easier for me to understand the process. Thank you!

I just LOVE this Channel! I've learned SO much! Thank you Karl! Great Camera work!

You hit 100,000 viewers because your videos are great! Keep up the good job!

Was just telling my 25 year old son about you today. Summarized your channel as focused, raw content by a craftsman that is telegenic/videogenic, articulate and of high character, meaning no cussing, nonsense or phony posturing. Very pleased that you have arrived at the formula discovered by many of the top 1% KZfaq creators, where content is king. Something that network programming drifted away from years ago. I feel that networks insult us with programs that are filled with nonsense, when what most of us really want is content like what you provide with your high level of skill, and great on camera presence. No yakking about unrelated things for 2:30 before getting down to business, just getting right to work is what draws me to your channel. Very excited to have subscribed a couple of days ago, and looking forward to watching more top notch content, geared towards those of us that want to reach, and aspire to make really great things in our shops! P.S. The high quality, in focus, well lit video is great, and the limited use of music, mostly for transitions/intro is much appreciated as well.

You my Friend are an inspiration to the Human race as a whole. Your humbleness and positive attitude speak volumes of your Character. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find quality people, let alone content, on KZfaq or any other format for that matter. The knowledge you and your Wife are providing is truly invaluable. I wish you both nothing but the best in this Life and will continue to support you in everything you do. Hope to meet you some day. Cheers! -Tobin.

I love your comment at the end of the video and how you respect other guys keep up the good work buddy awesome

So awesome! Can’t get enough of your channel. Thanks for another great video!

Another good video. If you haven't already seen them, I can strongly recommend Wray Scheline's (Proshaper) videos on panel shaping with the Flexible Shape Pattern. It starts in a similar way to your technique, but he makes much more use of the paper pattern to determine where and how much to stretch.

Man, things you're doing are awesome. Your explanations are so clear and nice to understand. Wish you quick development and success.

Congratulations 100k, what an accomplishment. I really enjoy your videos, and always good content. Keep moving forward!

Good people and good content is hard to not watch!!!!! Congrats on 100k!!!!

Congratulations on 100k subscribers, well deserved. You have one of the best KZfaq channels and I look forward to seeing each new video. Warren

Your success is due to your amazing talent. What you do is not easy and at times very hard to explain what is going on. You would make an excellent teacher.

Love your videos guys! I'm learning so much! Thanks for sharing and congratulations on the new shop and 100K.!! You deserve it!

Im working on my first Wheeling project right now and the first few test panels have been rough haha. seeing you work the panel into a finished product really helps me conceptualize what i'm trying to accomplish.

We need that kind of tightening radius on bonnets on pre-war cars and I always struggle with it. My mentor, sadly gone, just bent them over his knee! I haven't tried a rubber band on my wheeling machine yet (I think only non English people call them English wheels?) but how they can smooth out the walnuts after bashing steel with a mallet always amazes me. So much to learn and when you only do it as a hobby it's not easy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Your explanations are excellent.

As snowbell with no English wheel I feel like this video helped me grasp the concept a bit

Great job Karl and Kristina. You’ll have 500,000 before you know it. Keep it real. I don’t know that you could do it different than that anyway. It shows. 🍻😎

100% agree on the channel recommendation for Bad Chad

Bad chad is the man, and so are you. Both inspiring pages.

You are a true artist. Been watching the series on the Caddy, great work.

You are a magician; sir. Great workmanship.

I'm glad to see you back on the Cad. Mine needs some lower quarters also.

Congrats on the 100K. Killer to see good things happen to good people. Cheers to you and the family.

I thought it was very nice what you said about Chad and Jolene... I love their show too watch it everyday.

Talented man that is for sure great way of showing and great camera work chears guys plz keep them coming 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🙂🤞✌

Injoy the shows tremendously. I think what stands out more is the precision. I come from a long line of machinist. Everything was measured in thousandths. As a results nothing was every good enough unless it was perfect.

I like your channel and Bad Chad’s channel. Keep up the good work. You do some really cool stuff your way also. Keep it real.

Congrats on the 100k subscribers. You really have built this channel with knowledge and passion about stuff you love to do. No drama, no bullshit, just great information on how you takle a job. Glad you and Christina are taking the time to share all this with us:-)

Happy almost Thanksgiving Karl!! Thanks for teaching us all. Dave in Oregon

Congratulations 👏👏👏👏 you deserve it your videos and expertise is one in a million well done

Along with you i watch Bad Chad ,Halfass Kustoms , both Canada and Bello's Kustoms in San Diago California as regular as i can and others i check out a lot .

I only wish You - Tube had been around back when i could build these old cars , a lot to learn here .

You are correct. Bad Chad is awesome just like you 🏁👍
