Thanks for the educational & entertaining videos. I enjoy that you go in depth on what you’re doing & why you do what you do. I’m an at home do it myself guy, & your videos are very helpful.

A craftsman at work. I don’t think we give enough credit to young people who have taken the time and effort to learn these skills to this level. Amazing work.

I paid a good chunk of change a couple years ago to go to a school to learn how to do this. I think everything you said was "spot" on lol. I'd emphasize your comments about keeping your gaps consistent and tight, I think extra time spent doing this saves time in later steps. I'd also reiterate your bit about not grinding too much if your weld is uneven, I learned this the hard way. Going from a big professional shop/school to a one car garage with a 110 welder, a mediocre air compressor and basic hand tools I really appreciate you doing a lot of your fabrication the hard/long way. I'm doing some simple patches and repairs on a '49 Ford pickup as we speak so this video was a great confirmation I'm headed in the right direction. Sorry for the long post, I'm a huge fan, your channel is great for building on the bit of knowledge I already have. At first glance your videos appear to be long but they are clear, concise, and packed with the right details (unlike many other 20-30 min videos), I'm very impressed. I hope this really takes off for you and wish you the best of luck with your new location. Keep up the great content!

This, in my opinion, is the best outer panel welding tuition video on youtube. Incredible work, no filler required. I salute you.

[benjones]

Panel repairs to that level without filler is artwork, amazing stuff

[memirandawong]

You're amazing at what you can do. I have to say your personality goes a long way on these videos. Your presentations are so straightforward.

[qabsoloff]

I don't often comment on videos but I had to say that it was a pleasure to discover your channel. Your skills, knowledge and professionalism set you apart from the typical YouTube offering. It was also refreshing to hear your clear, very articulate description of your work. Thank you.

Great job Japhands. You bring back nice memories when I helped my dad do body work when I was a young child. Back in the day he used brazing rods with a acetylene torch and lead solder to seal the edges, then a little bit of bondo. Metal warping was a big problem and it required a great deal of hammering later. He then switched to spot welders for sheet metal work. Now there are so many cool and cheap tools like the mig and tig welders. They are awesome. Most people don't realize that working easier and better is the way to go. My dad did not have the luxury of a car hoist and elaborate tools. Like you he made his own tools when needed to save money. He is 93 yrs old now and no longer does body repair but the wear and tear on his hands, knees and shoulders is evident now. Be safe and work wisely always. Thanks again for the education. I still do some repair when I can at 63 yrs old and still have a passion for it. Keep up the great job.You are an inspiration to all who watch - I'm sure. Take care.

You make sheet-metal work look too easy and the fact you share your knowledge openly is so sick dude

[richarddariozuel]

The best technique of panelbeting and welding your are The best 👌

[raceR]

Dude you’re a great teacher! Excellent communication skills to add to your technical knowledge. Thanks for the videos!

[MrRoberoni]

“The closest I can get without putting bondo on it” JESUS- this guy is a magician and extremely modest! I’m a subscriber now.

Thank you for sharing!

Incredible skills. If we didn't watch you make each panel from scratch we would swear those were die stamped. The orbital sander to final finish welds is what separates amateur boys vs professional men. 💯 Professional Karl.

[akathelilguy]

When you said no filler my jaw dropped. You were right it looked straight as a whistle. Subscribed.

[maggs]

Anyone questioning why quality body work is so expensive should watch this. 👌

THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO!!! No BLAH, BLAH, BLAH talking about yourself and how "wonderful" you are ....like so many of the other videos.
You are to the point, with specific "discussions" of your experiences ....and the "fast-forward feature" to make the video more efficient.

Very clear message how much work is involved in preparation, and measure, measure, measure. before a single tack is done.

I have a '57 Healey, 100-6. Lower portion needs body parts replacement. I have ALL the replacement parts needed. Been looking for a reliable, honest shop to do this work in Vancouver, B.C., but haven't found one shop who will provide any honest answers. Either humming and hawing, or simply don't call back with answers. The work you have shown here is pretty much exactly what is required ...but in fact, a little easier. Fundamentally nothing is being done "blind". I have both TIG and MIG ....I'll do it myself. Your video was the stimulator.😉😉😜😜

[henrent]

I love seeing people that are really good at their craft and this guy is exactly that. Great video!

[buddyfrederick]

You, sir, are a true ARTIST! Your techniques, methodology, and knack of instructing are unsurpassed - not to mention the great camera work! It was a pleasure to watch this video. It was both educational and inspiring. You have a real gift. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents! Stay well!

Been welding almost fifty years lot of sheet metal well done youngster

[derekjemerson]

I’m teaching myself to Mig weld. To keep my older cars (80’s Subaru’s at this stage, but a 76 square body c20 is in my yard as well). Videos like this are awesome. Thank you
