Not much "How to use them" going on. Good description of hammers and the cheap grind your own is pretty cool. More demo would would helpful.

On the bench there's a small metal panel with a bunch of curves on it and further behind there's a stripped down Camaro with exposed panels that you could have used to point out the different surfaces, curves, and angles you were referring to. I wish you would have demonstrated the USE of the hammers and dollys. It was a painfully long video to watch when all you did was talk until after half an hour. You're very knowledgeable and a good speaker but goodness...please demonstrate the product.
On a technical note try locating your microphone a little lower or avoid tilting your head downward towards the pick-up. This will help to avoid some of the audio distortion.

Found this very informative, but I don't know why I watch these videos. Not sure if it was the deep throat shrinker & stretcher, or bead roller that I added to my cart. I'm pretty sure it was over $700 before Duty at the border. I'd like to have the tools, but I'm not willing to spend double the asking price. I'm sure I will be bad mouthed being Canadian, but I'm looking at rebuilding a '57 D100 that was a tight budget build in the early 80's. My dad taught me oxy/acetelyne welding, body work, electrical. When he passed away in May, I was devastated, I was looking at getting a modern chassis. I'll keep what I got, just clean things up.

Love this video, been 25 years since I did body work, my daughter hit a deer and the right front fender was one of the casualties. Normally I'd buy a new fender and be done, I can get one from rock Auto for $40, BUT, the shipping is $125. I'm going to see if I can get her fender straight before buying new. If can't get it, I'm just out a few hours of panel beating. Lol

Great vid, looking forward to the next episode.

I tried using Shrinking Hammers at different times, with not much success, torch and heat was always best for me, plus I could shape the metal at the same time. William

I love these videos! you're doing great! I've been using your products on my build..body is on a rotisserie, using your mig 175 fixing rust and stuff..boxed frame, yadda yadda..

I love that you offer a way to learn how to use your stuff..these videos are what made me a customer!

[HOBBYROBBYS]

[blahblah]

Why is it every eastwood video the audio is not lined up with the video, Only when i watch Eastwood videos.

[markpayne]

What gauge sheet metal are you working with when you are showing the hammers what type steel as far as say example carbon steel etc when I go to my supplier or do you sell patch panels or sheet metal

[jesusalvarez]

did you ever make a video on the different techniques? off and on dolly?

[keithallen]

Deep dents in 55 Chevy Roof how to repair by myself no helper what tools work for solo beginner body guy ?

[richardsanborn]

ive got 2 hammers get by fine been doing it 45 years
if i need something special in a pinch i make one

[Zillustration]

I would think that marking your hammer head or handle with the radius in Sharpie would make it much easier than snagging the radius gauge while working.

The film and sound synchronization is very poor and that coupled with the poor presentation (scan the camera to the hammer with the pick end but no such hammer is a available for actual scanning!) leaves me seriously peeved.

What’s the best way for a beginner to get into a shop and talk someone into teaching you what the school did not?

[eclypsed]
