I really think your videos on making custom tooling using mostly simple hand held tools are great and not often seen on-line. Bravo!

When I was your age, I was totally focused on "getting as much done as possible" before getting too old.  You've got great skills, and you do very well teaching and you do it very well.  I became an instructor in aviation electronics, late in life, and have often wished I'd focused more that direction, younger.  That's a really impressive bit of work on a beautiful hood.  A lot of good "home made tools" came into being in the mid and late sixties, and you are reviving that spirit among people all around the world.  You're making a substantial impact I think.

I spent 2 years in school learning tool and die work. I will never not be in awe of you and my dad and what you can accomplish with a grinder and a little time. Awesome video as always.

Karl , if you start from the other end you could hook the last louver on the back of your die that then becomes your gap between them and keeps it square ,

LOL  Back in 82, I retired from the Navy and went to work teaching SQIP to Navy Tenders on the east coast.  On my second tender course, I showed the sailors how to use some of their equipment, which included a press that had dies for louvers.  I showed them how to set it up and when I went back for the two-week refresher course, everyone in the shop had louvers in their car hoods.  Love it. My hat is off to you and what you are doing.

One thing I really like is when a Louvre has a top that is as vertical as the material it’s on. Right after the bends.
