HEADS UP! We know about the fake YT accounts saying you won. They are FAKE accounts. You will NEVER win anything from a comment. We will NEVER ask you for personal info, money, or additional details. The fake accounts do not have the official YT check mark next to them. They are just trying to get money from you. Click on their account and report it. Additionally, we will never ask you to click a link, call a number, download an app, buy gift cards, trade them for bitcoin, fear that we are some random government agency with Indian or Nigerian accents, or ANYTHING related. Scammers are desperate, lonely, useless 3rd world-ers searching for gullible people. We will continue to call potential winners until someone pics up the phone. It would be nice to change the rules and just pick someone random, but this is all legal stuff and we have to follow the rules.
Has the "cut-off" date for your welder "give-a-way" contest already passed? I've been a subscriber for awhile, but I wasn't notified of your video describing the contest. In fact, it's been a long time since I was notified about a YT video from you. I made a few sissy bars myself, way back in the '70's! I enjoyed the video!
Man I wish I entered the contest I probably would have had a good chance at winning since no one answered the damn phone. That stuff would have made my dreams of opening a small weld/fab business a bit easier.
@@mikesalm5053get a small job and save up start it while at said job then once your fully competent and your ready to sacrifice basically everything you should be good 🤣
If the audio was off slightly in this video, I totally understand. The shop is a loud place and I only had one lav mic hidden under my shirt. I did my best to level out the audio which can make it sound a little muddy at times. I hope everyone enjoyed the video as is. It is always a pleasure to work along side other builders and fabricators in the industry, and even more exciting having my youngest son, Q, with me as we all learn together.
Video is great! It shows the real life of doing fab, and felt like more old school TFS! The back and forth, the missing tools (helmet), things not staying in place. Only thing it lacked to sound like my workshop is a few more "Oh for f*** sake!" As everything keeps going wrong! Ha ha ha
Love the old school fab! Thanks for sharing. Just think of the time and experience that is summed up by Q when he looks at something you’re making and just says ‘Cool!’
I am loving watching a guy with tons of experience helping a guy with a massive amount of experience. Everyone has someone they can look like a greenhorn next to.
Steve is a measing device, thats why he doesnt need one. Ive seen guys pretty good at eye ball forking their way through projects but Steve is on a different level. Just shows what putting in the time now looks like for later.
Love the old school work no bs just two talented craftsman working with their eyes and hands. All while relying on their skill set and years of experience. As a millwright for many years we only use rosebuds to heat large things. Imo and experience I use a cutting head and change to a large diameter tip for heating things like round rod up to bend. I like it better because I can turn that 1/2 round rod cherry red in just a few seconds and allows me greater control of my heat migration. However use what you like and gets you good results. Awesome job showing how something can be made with minimal tools. All a man really needs to start a fab shop is a welder grinder and a good vise .
Man, you had me so damn excited. I was watching that video and you had that 7 foot stack of welders and plasma cutters and all I’m like how awesome would that be to win something like that and you could get anybody to answer their damn phone nowadays I don’t answer my phone either unless I recognize the number, keep up the great take care, buddy
There are a fair number of us old school metal shapers out here in the wild, in the custom car business. From "panel beating", (Coach Smithing) entire car bodies from aluminum and steel to "hand forging" sway bars and trunk springs.... (With proper heat treat/temper for performance), turns out that learning blacksmithing, (the origin of all metal work,) was a great foundation before schooling for machining and welding... You can make amazing things with your hands, eyes, and basic tools, if you hone your skills. Thanks for the video.
The oldschool guys when they would build bars like this one, but from square stock and twist it the entire way or reverse the twist and make a pattern if you will. That is a skill that takes time to master and have it look good too and all even. Be rad to see you guys build one someday!!
This is simply wrought iron work and over in Charleston SC there is a trade school that teaches this craft as those homes down there in the historic district have a lot of wrought iron fences and gates and such and surprisingly there are a lot of youngsters that are interested in this work. The This Old House series did a house down there and they featured this school. So the art is not lost as we have many people who are interested in this type of work. Granted we have a lot of amazing products that help in the fabrication process, but necessity is the mother of invention and all through time we have always had necessity.
I'm curious why you bent the bar hot instead of using an adjustable bender. Is it a tool availability limitation, or is there some other consideration at play that led you to choose hot bending? It clearly caused some irregularities that had to be adjusted, and doing adjustments is a risky process to the part. I wonder what made you take that risk. to be clear, I mean the acute bend in the long bar starting at 19:00. the adjustments I mention are at 26:00
Hey Justin! We met at FabTech in Atlanta a few years back. Im the guy in the wheelchair lol, If nobody has claimed that Primeweld set, i'll take em lol
Nice job. Talented people can do metal work without fancy tools. This job is a perfect example of years of fab work with basic tools. Well done to all involved. No doubt the customer was thrilled.
EDIT: This applies to general low carbon-mid carbon structural steels. The best middle ground would be HR PO (Hot Rolled, Pickled and Oiled) CRS is more expensive than HRS, CRS has internal stresses due to the cold working whereas HRS has mill scale. Generally, for the same Mill Test chemistry CRS will be slightly harder with more tensile and higher yield. More uniform and predictable too when bending and forming. Machining a CRS plate or bar however is where it gets problematic: the internal stresses get released and the part will warp, sometimes violently.
People need to realize all the time and steps needed to fabricate somthing as simple as a sissy bar. Half a day Maby with design and clean-up. It all adds up.
The account page only offers either email or phone number… when I made the account originally and made my first order I had to use my email, but since then I have tried to change it to my phone number but it always gets weird and kicks me back a page or completely off the website…
From personal experience, I think the reason why so many calls go to voice mail is because people are sick of being called by scammers and thus will let numbers they don't know go through to mail.
Did anybody notice when the old man held the torch. He turned physically away from the person handing it to him, almost as if to not accidentally hit somebody with a lit torch.
Okay, this is a challenge (not a fake YT account): if you EVER have winner issues again just ship it to me (will make a YT video in response). The challenge is where you'd have to ship it to if you accept it (contact me via YT - i can tell if you are this channel or not). Let's see how this goes 😂... Love you skill, personality and videos, man 👍. Fake accounts: don't bother, i can tell all cheap fakes from behind the corner.
I work from 1:30 to 9:30 and I cannot have a phone at work. If you call is 4078 the number you will call from? so I will know if you ever call. thank you for creating content and doing the giveaways.
If you cant contact a winner, i’ll have the prizes, i’ve been trying to save to get a welder and a cut 60 for my shop. I could probably afford the shipping and import taxes 😂❤
Sad why don’t you just email the winner? Too much spam these days where phone companies block unknown numbers. I Am entered and if you wanna give the welders away I’d be happy to help! But sadly if you called my phone Verizon would block you. You need to give out the number you will be calling from so we can save it in our phones. That might help.
I already have a Tig225x, so I didn't enter unless you went with really old accounts. And I don't have room for the other items, wife would not be happy.
I like that you’re giving away equipment from a drawing, however due to telemarketing and robocalling, people don’t answer calls from unknown numbers. I suggest you consider texting first
So just my $.02 but I don’t answer calls from numbers that aren’t in my contacts. My policy is that if it’s important enough the caller can leave a message and I can call back if needed.
I don't see a single situation in which you folks used an angle grinder in which it really needed to have the guard off. Keep an eye on your safety, folks.
No one answers their phone today. Leave a message. I’ll get back to you so you don’t leave a message. They don’t answer that’s gonna go round and round forever. Good luck. I do hope you find a winner..
maybe don't call from an unlisted un named phone number? does the phone your calling from show who its calling from???? did you also take into account time zones? are you calling them when its sleeping time for them?

@walter2990 the cutoff was June 30th. It is no longer possible to enter this campaign, but more will come in the near future.
@@TheFabricatorSeries Well, dang it. I'll be sure to look for your next video. How often do you post them on YT?

Love seeing stuff made this way. I've hand made a ton of sissy bars for the homies over the years! Good stuff Justin!

Nice job Justin and watching you with the gas torch & have you ever thought about an induction heater for doing that?

Yes sir working with one's hands is rewarding work.
This vid was a nice change of pace and it was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us.
Man this video sure brings back great days on my panhead build. Thanks
Great job, guys! I hadn't even heard the term sissy bar in decades. I had one on my bike in the 1970's.
Justin, suer duper super enjoyable Fabrication Video.....cheers from Orlando, Paul
great video as always man, thank you for the great content
Awesome Job

When people ask me how did you do that? I just tell them that I've done it wrong before..
This bike needed you.
Thanks.
Beautiful
Also, love the fabrication videos.

I live in Vegas by your shop I can come pick up those welders if you want lol
And That is how you make "Custom" Parts. Nicely done Justin.
I'm very hard up right now I could use a it tig setup! Grass is dead in the east. 😪
Hey Justin! We met at FabTech in Atlanta a few years back. Im the guy in the wheelchair lol, If nobody has claimed that Primeweld set, i'll take em lol
I second this, Ill take the TIG welder
It looks like a rare and almost lost skill. By the way; just LOOK at that bike!! Amazing and real.
Nice job. Talented people can do metal work without fancy tools. This job is a perfect example of years of fab work with basic tools. Well done to all involved. No doubt the customer was thrilled.
Love watching the guys that are my age...just goes to show, Old Guys can still cut the Mustard......
I want a free welder Justin. Your content reminds me why I enjoy welding more than any human should lol
Nice build. I want to build a mini bobber with a 212cc hf motor.
I just used the Hossfeld manual bender at my work
Those are pretty cool. I used to bend a lot of sch 40 aluminum pipe with one.
I cant count how many times i have tried to flip down those crazy invisible hoods like you had on towards the end of this video.
So why does cold vs hot rolled matter? Does the metal react differently? I always thought cold was just "cleaner" than hot due to the way hot is made.

I will take brother!!! I need a tig machine please!!!
I'll gladly take those machines from you. I've been saving to get a prime welder.
I won last year. It showed as "Fabrication Series" when he called me and with a number. It's not a blocked or unlisted number when Justin calls.
Damn ill take the machines ill go buy something right now
"Hand built in the USA." Words that need to be heard more often.
How I like to do things , your just a little better at it , lol.
I'll take your welders Justin ship to Australia 😂
That would have been totally amazing,,, what I could do with those welders!! Luck 8s never on my side.
I will put them to work!!!!
People need to realize all the time and steps needed to fabricate somthing as simple as a sissy bar. Half a day Maby with design and clean-up. It all adds up.
I could take that plasma cutter off your hands lol. They probably dont pick up thinking its a bot caller
I’m assuming you sign up at Tfs
The account page only offers either email or phone number… when I made the account originally and made my first order I had to use my email, but since then I have tried to change it to my phone number but it always gets weird and kicks me back a page or completely off the website…
I could just imagine the conversation you had when you went home…” how was work?
Good
What did you do today?
Not sure, but I’m exhausted
Man, I live in Canada but I'll take those welders off your hands if you'd open it up to us Canucks
what's wrong with leaving a VM? every single phone in the country has it by default. and nobody answers unknown numbers. :shrug:
lol. I just made a custom sissy bar by hand a few weeks ago
I do!!!
Give me a call and send it to England. 😂
Most people, that watch your channel, wont answer a number they dont recognize.
From personal experience, I think the reason why so many calls go to voice mail is because people are sick of being called by scammers and thus will let numbers they don't know go through to mail.
Bent by feel is the only type of bending I ever do. Call me Bender.
I would gladly take them off your hand, I can then stop trying to save for a Fronius
And best of all no one mentioned, losing the shop once
Camera shy joke was funny
Did anybody notice when the old man held the torch. He turned physically away from the person handing it to him, almost as if to not accidentally hit somebody with a lit torch.
@@hassenfepher wow, I noticed that also, old school safety methods.
You gotta leave a voicemail, there's way too many scammers to answer unknown numbers.
Okay, this is a challenge (not a fake YT account):
if you EVER have winner issues again just ship it to me (will make a YT video in response).
The challenge is where you'd have to ship it to if you accept it (contact me via YT - i can tell if you are this channel or not).

Pretty sure this had a different title initially
Just give me the welders
If you cant contact a winner, i’ll have the prizes, i’ve been trying to save to get a welder and a cut 60 for my shop. I could probably afford the shipping and import taxes 😂❤
for the record i would them

But sadly if you called my phone Verizon would block you. You need to give out the number you will be calling from so we can save it in our phones. That might help.
Allot of people screen calls. Leave a voice mail give them a day.
To many spam calls these days.
When you find out your number has been flagged for spam. So when you call it says Spam Caller or auto block.
Justin you can give me one. lol
are they pissed you used all their gas bending one sissy bar? :D i'm sure that old timer can show you how.
I already have a Tig225x, so I didn't enter unless you went with really old accounts. And I don't have room for the other items, wife would not be happy.
I like that you’re giving away equipment from a drawing, however due to telemarketing and robocalling, people don’t answer calls from unknown numbers. I suggest you consider texting first
Also, way to go Q
I've got an idea.....try leaving a message.
With the plethora of spam calls people receive nowadays, nobody answers phone calls from unknown numbers
So just my $.02 but I don’t answer calls from numbers that aren’t in my contacts. My policy is that if it’s important enough the caller can leave a message and I can call back if needed.
I will help you out, just send them to me. 😅😅😅
Why couldn't you leave a message?
I don't see a single situation in which you folks used an angle grinder in which it really needed to have the guard off. Keep an eye on your safety, folks.
Now if you were realy old school you would have upset the rod and punched the holes where the bolts went.
Can't win if you don't answer, seems fair.

How about telling everyone what area code you will be calling from. Many people, like me, look at the area code before answering due to spam...
When he called me, it literally said, "Fabrication Series" on the ID.
Use email dude. Send a text. Leave a message. Nobody answers phone calls.
Maybe send a email and then call the winner
I bet Jesse James does.
