@mindover3 Uh oh, this is like suddenly finding out Julia Childs is coming over for dinner in 10 minutes! But seriously, thanks again. I’ve currently got a door skin I’m working on now using your methods (gas welding and metalworking) that I should have posted in the next couple days.
Thanks for your comment, I am glad you have learned from the DVD. Restoring a car is lots of work but having some good knowledge and skills will help a lot I am sure. I will check into your channel to see how you are getting on.
David, just a quick note to say thanks. I bought the videos about a year ago and have recently started in on my TR6 restoration and the investment is already paying off in spades. After practicing various aspects of your methods over and over on a $5 junk Honda fender I bought, I’m using a mix of gas and MiG welding so far on my first panel repairs. I’m recording and posting my restoration on my Youtube channel and I’ll definitely be giving you a “shout out” during my videos. Thanks again.
Yay! Just what I was looking for, good instruction for amateurs with hand tools! American vids just want to sell their “system”… Btw, can welds be worked or are the too hard?
I bought the DVD. If you have a project and youre up for doing some metal fabrication and shaping on it i’d say its worth the money. Its a long DVD too. If nothing else, it was good just to watch the guy working something out of nothing.
I was quite impressed with this video and so I ordered your DVD last night. I am currently living in Switzerland where it’s difficult to buy specialty tools and when I can find them they are always 2-3 times the price in the U.S. These tools being as heavy as they are I would be very interested in a UK source to save on shipping. Would you be able to recommend a website for a UK supplier of the sort of hand tools you use?
Thanks,
Jason
Hello david, I do double curve sheet metal as well and going by you accent your not far from me ,my shop is on canvey island essex. and ps my wife bought me your dvd for my birthday, Ive been doing it for 20 years but you can always learn something new, so I wasnt insulted! goodluck with your sales
David makes metalworking look easy, and has the ability to inspire you to want to learn more – a real quality in teaching. I have thoroughly enjoyed his video and learned a great deal.
Hi, im trying to pop a little dome / ridge that is less then 1cm long into a piece of metal container so when i close it, the lid will stick on to the little tiny dome so the lid will stay closed because currently nothing is holding it closed. If anyone knows what i am talking about can they please answer me or tell me what kind of tool can do this, im thinking some kind of handheld tool like a wrench that and press it and pop out the dome. Thanks.
could anybody advise me how i could make a small jet engine casing. basically a small hollow metal tube. would i make something like this from metal casting in a mould or bending flat sheet metal together and welding it together. are round hollow metal tube shapes generally milled from a solid block of metal or are they usually sheets of metal bended into shape
The toolbox contains common tools used for editing clips in the timeline. Click on any of the buttons or use the keyboard shortcuts to select each tool. The default tool is the selection tool. When you select a tool the mouse pointer will usually change to a new icon to represent the tool when held over the timeline panel. In some cases you can change the behaviour of a tool by holding down a modifier key such as the Shift key.

I just ordered the DVD, WOOHOO! Hopefully I can implement the techniques when making my armour.
January 22nd, 2012 - 05:34
why aren’t other forms of welding acceptable? thanks for the lessons.

Do a search for metal spinning. That’s the process used to make most of the housing and casings you are talking about.
