My wife is also off in the summer from working her job. She is always ready to help me in my shop when I ask her. We are lucky to have them in our lives.
I'm a new viewer and live off grid in W Tx since 07. Born/ Dallas and I'm 60 now in 2020. I just got done watching your "sad" video, end of project... And I just realized that some how, some way, we got mixed up at the hospital or something! I was supposed to be you all along! Lol, I sure am richer now tho, and partly because of your channel. Hi to the wife. Love the pole truck and everything else that's good. You remind me of my friend who builds houses out here in the mountains. He does PERFECT work. I don't. I do good work but I cheat every inch of the way. (think, brush paint) My stuff is strong like a tree and about as ugly but I get to compete and that's the best! ---- You run circles around me dangit.... LOL, and I love watching it! Thanks pb
Always good to hear from you Primitive Bob. Watched a couple of videos of yours and like your peace and quiet out there . Water sure does seem like a big deal though. Any chance of drilling a well out where you are ?
@@metalshaperJeep I wanted to try a few years ago, to drill one myself problly 2-3 hundred ft. deep. We haul water and save rain water and don't 'go thru it' like modern folks. My wife says we currently use 1000 gal. per month. All I'm gonna do is fix this buggy and get old and have fun I hope, doing it. LOL, But I have 2 barrels of kerosene for parts washing! And I love your big gin pole... Most folks, the few there are, have wells and power poles. I'm just, lol, "sticking it to the man!" I went form riches to rags, High tech to Indian style. Even gave up trucks and driving in order to concentrate on building our castle but dangit, then my neighbor gave me the 2 old jeeps from the former owner of there property. Then I found you, started to rebuild and presto!!! We have thunderstorms! It's all too good really...
Another great video Brian. Lots of good prep and painting tips! That tire machine makes short work of that job. You pack a lot of work into a day. Please keep the videos coming.
Thanks George, always good to hear from you. I hit the ground running every day and make the best of the time from sun up to sun down. A little bit of everything is coming in future videos, hope you enjoy all the different content. Brian
Snowblower jeep is getting heavy each time I add more pieces. Great to move it in and out of the shop under its own power. More videos coming of it soon.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. As you can see the type of stuff I do has an extremely limited audience. Most people will say that metal work is safe, but trust me it is a dying art. Been at it for many years and there has never been a single person who wanted to learn and take over the business. I don't mind not having lots of subscribers, as long as I reach a few folks who enjoy watching and learning from my videos.
Miller trailblazer in the background....if you get a chance I would love to see your roll cage set up for it. You do have just about everything. I have always told my kids, "He who dies with the most tools, wins". You have me beet. Nice work.
Good to hear from you. I did make a complete rolling cart for it when I got it with protective bars all around. Used to do a lot of welding in areas with concrete floors. when I moved out to the country and bought a farm I added some 3 point hitch attachments so I can pick it up and move it around with my tractor.
I’m having a great time learning from your videos! I sent you an email about learning some metal shaping. It looks like you’ve been busy but I’m wondering if you got it?
Well played with use of time and video. As much as I love the Auto stuff I do enjoy your equipment segments as well. Really like old equipment and restoration on them as well as setup and building procedures. Thank you and keep up the good work. ENJOYED IT
Brian, there’s no end to your tools of your trade, I have never seen some much gear in a one hard working mans shop, just how many strings are there for your bow,,,well done mate regards Frank
There are some amazing people on UA-cam and your one of them. The tools every trade needs is a never ending collection. I have been watching some of your videos. I like that tip on pressure relief holes in oiling systems. Not sure i understand where the pressure comes from, but i suppose it is a byproduct of heat. Looking forward to the saw mill, be nice if you can explain all the mechanics of it and why you choose a certain drive system.
I remember when I was 16 and on work experience I had to fit a landrover tyre on the rim on a series 3 then fit the tube with the puncture repaired only thing I wasn't told is the valve of the tube was off set so the tube went in with the valve pointing forward in the rim, when I placed the valve in the threshers valve was set to point backwards as I pumped it up the valve was sacked into the rim so I couldn't deflate it to correct my well learned mistake so I had to drill a small hole in the tyre to let it down the fix the puncture I gave it lol
Well done sir ! But that's status quo in your shop . Hey , don't be so harsh , you've got a well equipped shop , we' re jealous ! Well stocked too . Those tires and rims look excellent . That's what I want on my cj5 , upon completion . When I find the money , I'd like to ask you if you can fab a complete front floor panel , riser and rear floor and wheel house tubs . That will take some time , but I know you'll make them to fit with no readjustment of the hat channels . That will be in the future and I know I've got to wait my turn . Hey , your just one guy and perfection is not to be rushed . Keep up the good work sir !
planer has the original motor direct connected to the shaft and was always electric driven, not flat belt. I should have it up and running soon and will give some close up shots of it working.
What's the price on those military trucks in that condition? I want to paint my wheels on my dually and was thinking on using my left over epoxy primer.
The wheels came out very well, paint thickness is always a problem at the rim edges, too thin they rust, too thick they chip, with your paint type I think they are much better at resisting chipping. How can we manage without a helping hand ? When you just need another person to steady something you are lifting, we try to do everything on our own, but there are just some jobs when that extra help makes the job so much easier, I can see you are getting some nice sunshine there at last.
Wheels come out great and another happy customer. Sun is out and summer is really heating up. My wife has summers off from work so her extra hands are a welcome change from doing things myself.
standard military 5 ton tractor. It is a 1984 model and purchased from the government liquidation site about 6 years ago. Cummins engine, automatic transmission and plenty of power and traction. A very useful farm truck.
Sir, could I have your e-mail address or regular address? I have a rolling chassis and Super Hurricane engine that I want to use on a project...but definitely want to use the Willys engine and frame. I have a few questions...hope you can help. Thanks...Newk from Kentucky
Thank you Brian, you da
Man. Screw the haters, there just green with envy. You are a natural master craftsman, teacher and I sense a man of integrity.

Another great video Brian.
I truly enjoy watching you at your craft. It's an inspiration.

Looks great, as always. And it was nice to see the snowblower Jeep moving under it's own power!

For the life of me I do not know how you don't have 10 million subscribers!! Awesome Channel!

A tip: you can watch movies at kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Benedict Adonis yup, I've been using kaldrostream for since december myself :)
@Benedict Adonis Yup, have been watching on KaldroStream for years myself :D
@Benedict Adonis Yea, I have been using KaldroStream for months myself =)

Brain, great tip with the wet&dry paper thank you,
If you do a lot of sanding you will notice that your paper lasts much longer if you fold it the way I showed in the video.
Brian
Excellent video! Love the color on those rims! I’m looking forward to the painting tips video
Waiting on the weather to cooperate again and then will be back on painting. Humidity is crazy right now so hoping next week drys out a bit.
I’m having a great time learning from your videos! I sent you an email about learning some metal shaping. It looks like you’ve been busy but I’m wondering if you got it?
Didn't get your email, please contact me at metalshaper@comcast.net

Brian, there’s no end to your tools of your trade, I have never seen some much gear in a one hard working mans shop, just how many strings are there for your bow,,,well done mate regards Frank
You do some nice work. I enjoy watching your projects come together.
Another typical day in the shop and around the farm. Lots of things to get done. I appreciate you watching. More to come.
Brian
Good looking paint job.

I like that big truck with the pole
That truck is quickly becoming one of my most useful items to have around for many of the farm chores that need a heavy lift.
Love the truck
That’s a wicked kool Jeep

This guy can build anything, if he has an interest, along with the time and money.
Wheels turned out great!
Thanks, they turned out great and my customer is super happy with them .
Nice enjoyed the planer
Just have to get some power to it now and it will be running. Setting up a hood and dust collection system also and will show that in a future video.
It took me 3 years to get mine up and running and I love it.
Yes it is a truly wonderful machine
planer has the original motor direct connected to the shaft and was always electric driven, not flat belt. I should have it up and running soon and will give some close up shots of it working.
Is the poles at a 45 degree angle? Because it should be
Nice jeep you got there! What kind of front and rear diff you put there?

Are tube tires dangerous?
No they are fine to run on the road. I have tube tires is all my jeeps and never had a problem.
