Jeff,This would have been a great video if it wasn't sped up so fast & you took a minute or two to explain your technique & show the progress of the metal as you worked with it. I've never seen a planishing hammer used directly on a fender before & it looks like a great technique to use. Very interesting at the least. I hope I don't sound negative because I really enjoy your videos & dont want to critcize, but I'd love to learn a little more about this topic. Maybe revisit this one soon. Thanks.

@Lonewolf3165 My videos are for entertainment purposes I just like to share a bit of my work with all of you. It's funny you say this because this is one of my favorite videos to date.

That's a cool tool! The old cars have some thick metal to work with.

Have a question.. What do you think of Pimp My Ride that's on the Speed Channel? I guess it was on MTV?

I was glad when the car build shows started going on tv a few years back because it gave new life to our industry. I'm sure guys watch the shows and want to build there own projects which gives us more work at Photofinish. My favorite show was American Hot Rod @ Boys shop. Most my inspiration come from websites nowadays I don't watch the shows as much.

@jamesfreddys I can appreciate that, but there is a true art in your craft & you have a way of explaining things easily when you do. I guess it's just my own intrigue in what you were doing here that made me want a little more. I know you don't really intend to put out instructional videos so to speak, but if you ever go back to using this particular method I'd like to see a little more up close. I really don't want to come across like I didn't like it, I guess my appetite got wet that's all.
