Quality work makes the install better even when most people will never see it!

You've motivated me to apply for a sales job at a local Car audio shop. I hope I get the job.

I use leather punches for so many things and I've found that a plastic cutting board, from any local store like Target, works great as a backer. They're usually about 1/4" thick white material. I also found that when striking the punches on a workbench, they cut much easier when placed directly above the bench leg, because the leg gives you support all the way to the floor, reducing any give in the workbench top. This may sound silly, but my workbench is 2x4 constructed with 3/4" plywood top and even as stout as it is, striking above the legs still makes a big difference.

Clean installs like this just always SOUND better just like having a clean car always RUNS better!

[leoniemiano]

cling wrap from glad works pretty well. I know it sounds silly but it works. it's basically sticky saran wrap. and the prices stick to each other to make one big piece

I got those hole cutters and they are awesome. not sure why it took me so long to discover these, I have cut so many really bad holes with a scissors. thank you.

YOUR A CAR AUDIO GOD!!! Thank you for your videos! I just got my driver's license back after 3 years and getting back into car audio. The knowledge you share is priceless! Thank you!

Bro. Bro... bro- SERIOUSLY BRO!
THIS IS FRIGGIN GENIUS! I'm always looking for easier ways to make templates and sometimes it's on uneven or 3 dimensional surfaces. This is great. Especially since we can buy that cheaper stuff at big box home improvement stores. Nice tutorial

Yes, use a teflon cutting board for your back, when the punch goes into the teflon, it wont dull the blade out as quickly and its more of a mobile option with multiple sizes. 3 pack of white ones at walmart does the trick.

I use those punches at work for leather, and we used lead underneath.
Gives a nice clean cut.

I'd like to know where to get that big set of various sized hoops on the wall in back. I assume those are also used for tracing and making arc's as well? Thanks, Enjoy your videos!!!

Bringing education to a career field where education is not a priority. Thank you, you have changed my mind to be more accepting to the trifling young kids.

I would like to inquire about the optimal approach for soundproofing a second-layer door. Should I create a hole or seal it completely? Kindly provide insights into the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Your expertise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

[caseytbss]

There is a random shapes punch kit seems like a good idea so you can do nice slots for door panel hooks and more.

[kriswest]

Great video, the leather punches have so many uses. This is one I didn't think off. I am going to use this when I start my custom install in my mustang. Keep up the good work!

[boredombuilder]

I use punches all of the time at my work for cutting holes in lead tape. We have a really nice harder rubber table top matting we use to protect our work tables. The punch is able to go through many layers of tape and usually goes into the mat without chipping or hurting the punches. I looked online real quick and rolls of that stuff definitely isn't cheap though. That's if I'm looking at the right stuff haha. I don't know exactly what we use but I can see if I can find out tomorrow

[radhikagoyal]

grt video mark.

does adding a sound baffle to the speakers do any good to your audio performance?

please make a video on sound baffles and installation.

[rascalwind]

Those appear to be leather works puches. You could use a leather workers mat that is used for backing those punches. They are a hard rubber that is intended to deform around the punch when striking it. Hard materials can dull the cutting edge but you can strop them to get them sharp again without having to grind. You can find them on most common leather work suppliers site.

You forgot the nuclear explosion when you used the hammer. My bad wrong chanel.
