Car dolly hammer Videos

Hey Jeff Great videos ThankYou for taking the time, demonstrating your skills and techniques of the trade to demonstrate the "correct" way of repairing, restoring, auto body with great looking, long lasting results, and also your patience to explain it in a way someone with not much experience in auto body repair can understand, and learn for themselves.I am following along with this paticular project with great interest as I am currently in the process of restoring my '68 Firebird. Thanks bud.

4 arms and 4 hands makes shrinking easier. Lol. Sometimes an assistant comes in handy. Enjoying the videos!

i've just recently found your channel and have watch quite a few of your vids to catch up on your build. you are doing an awesome job, a real credit to you. shrinking with the flame ain't easy, something i've always struggled with to master. i have recently purchased this metal disc shrinker and it does an awesome job and is really quite easy to pick up. hope you find this interesting for future use. scott.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt07pLebQwQ

I'm pretty sure there is a "shrinking hammer" to move the metal around..Good on you for giving it a good go Sam.

OUCH ! you gave that dent the what for ! too much heat too much hammer, no hammer on dolly , no dolly needed, process is heat dime size to quarter size orange depending on stretched area size, tap with hammer around the outside working in toward the middle sweeping all blows toward the middle then quench with a damp rag, take it down a little at a time not all at once, finesse. get a junk hood or scrap and practice, you've got skills just takes practice to get good. my boss used to say if it was easy women and children would do it ;)

Maybe try the style that roger uses the slide hammer technique and work it from the farthest part out to come into the high center

I use my stud welding gun for shrinking. I place the tip of the gun without a stud in it right where it needs to shrink. Pull the trigger for a few seconds. It heats just small areas at a time.

Every time you hear a ping you are actually stretching the metal

nice work

Body work is very frustrating. I used to have a complete set of hammers and dollies for that stuff, but I never could use them properly. Keep at it Sam, you'll get it.

Great video! The art of dent repair has not changed much since I started as a body repair man in the 1970's. Great to see the younger generation involved. Thanks for sharing.

I have a 68 xr7 just finished with my 11 year old daughter. She LOVED it & learned so much about working with her hands & problem solving, mostly the time spent together will be unforgettable for life. The little man at the end of the video was awsome! Thanks for sharing,hope u keep us updated

How well do you think something like this would work for taking out dents in an aluminum boat?

"You bastard" lol thumbs up!

If it doesn't work out as art maybe you can adapt it to a Hotwheels track ? Yeah Kev. We're old enough to remember those ;-(

Did you heat the metal at all before you started pounding on it, or is it easy enough to do cold?

That is unique! Can you show us how you made the curving tubular flames? Thanks for putting in the effort to share your skills. 

Why not make the sculpture the burner also? Drilling the holes at an angle and playing with the air flow, maybe you could create a flame vortex? Maybe a different project for all that though. Thin high temp stainless and tig welding could be another path. Ah, Air, Water, Fire and Earth, elements for creativity! 

Cool tool Kevin! This guy (https://www.youtube.com/user/tinmantech/videos) has a bunch of videos about "flow forming" metals with an air gun. Super neat technique.

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE! You'll get great national event coverage, how-to videos with Eastwood products and awesome sales.

Seems like a really nice bloke, as someone who went through school and university I can totally relate to how he feels about being more productive with your hands and have been considering moving from an office to a hands on type job for a couple of years now. Hope it works out well for him.
