Paul my father was a welder in a stainless steel factory that manufactured milk coolers and other various tanks. My brothers and I grew up with a Lincoln stick welder in the garage and dad was all the time welding things for himself and others that had problems. My biggest regret was that I never had him teach me to weld. He passed away from pancreatic cancer and I lost that opportunity to learn something that could be beneficial for years to come. Thanks for your good work in teaching your family!
I loved how Dr Wades boy was just sitting on the kitchen table (the operating table😊) holding the flashlight and digging the whole event. Was not his first rodeo holding the light for dad.
DUDE APPRECIATE YOUR DAD, ALL ME AND MY DAD DID WAS FIGHT, WE WORKED ON THINGS AOUND THE HOUSE, BUT YOU HAVE A PRETTY COOL DAD TO DO THIS FOR YOU
I wouldn't be too harsh on him, I don't think anyone is ever really ready to raise children.
Many people told me that I was too harsh, but I wasn't simply raising good children, I was trying to prepare young men & women to thrive in the often harsh world around them. Overall, I'm pleased with the results. All are married and raising their own children, using many of the same rules they once hated.
I must admit that I really enjoy hearing my words coming out of their mouth, but I didn't invent them, many of those quotes came from the old men that influenced me!
In the end, just try to do the best you can raising your children.
@@arizonapapa9453 your last line says it all. We are ALL doing the best we can with what we have at any given time on any given subject. Some just have better emotional/physical/financial/judgement/patience skills than others. My dad was hard on me too, but it made me stronger. I miss him every day.
My dad was a abusive drunk. I wish I had a dad like Paul. He is amazing.
@@LarryYaw I’m sorry for your misfortune there. I can only guess how hard that was for you. I hope you have risen above substance abuse and made a better person of yourself…and try to bring yourself to forgive him, if only to free up YOUR mind and YOUR energy for better things.
@@hgj2019 amen. Hate, anger, resentment, guilt, and other such emotions all serve to punish us for things we didn't do. Grace and forgiveness actually serve to free us from all that. We need to get our heads around the idea we deserve better!
Dr Wade's kids probably think this is everyday life, dad fixing people up on the kitchen table 😉. Love the fact that one of his sons is actually holding a light for him!
Fixing cars or body parts its all the same lol
Way to go “Dad” Lando did a great job and continues to learn and make memories that he will tell his kids and grandkids about👊
Great stuff FabRats
I couldn't agree more. I see children as our future, and I suspect his are on a great path!
One of the best things is it's all on UA-cam what better way to keep these memories. Always there to watch for years to come
As a man growing up without a "father" I can appreciate how special it is to teach your son skills while spending priceless time with them , much respect to you sir , Grasias
Enjoying your show. Heartwarming to see Paul, wife ,kids ,Matt and just everybody on the show interacting and the kids playing around, getting their own "toys" build. Holding a fulltime job and fabricating, Paul you are a inspiration. Much respect brother. Michelle keep on laughing its who you are .Riaan, South Africa
Take care of the hand Paul. We need you to be back at 100% asap! Love watching these father&son episodes and all of the time and derby tested engineering.
Paul, you are my hero of a dad! My father would never let me weld, I taught myself through trial & error. I taught my son to weld when he was 12, needless to say there was 4X's more grinding than welding. Now he owns his own rig and welds professionally. Michele you know I HATE commercials, so thanks for putting it at the end so I can completely skip it.
Looks like Dr. Wade did a good job on Paul's hand.👍👍
I unashamedly admit that I skipped the medical part. I have seen too much of that in my lifetime to look at it on my time off.
You can just tell that all his children will turn out to be we rounded and confident. This is a no fear family right here.
It's great that Landon is getting all of this hands-on experience under his Pops guidance. AND the truck looks cool with it's new and improved short bed. Lucky kid, lucky father.
I was going to say "gobble gobble" after the kids first weld but upon seeing the final result, he gets top marks from me!
Great to see your son learning and working on his own project. Having had more stitches than I care to count, I'll send a tip of the hat to Dr. Wade for the bedside manner and the fine stitching, I've had worse from MD's. Thanks again all.
There are many things I can appreciate learning from UA-cam but doctor stuff kind of stretches the limit for me. I am sure he respects his limits.
Landon is going to have one special truck! Glad to see you letting him do so much hands on learning how to fabricate
I see so much more than a great truck, I'm seeing the kind of bonding that will help him boldly face the future with an unshakable confidence, no matter what is thrown his way!
I like the way you teach your kids how to weld, rebuilt a tranny and other things. It bring me back memories of my teenage years when we lived on my grandfather farm. All the time I spent with him in the shop to fix the mower, the rake etc. Best time of my life!! I try to reproduce these moments with my kids too
NICE! Good to see Lan getting involved and dad Paul steppin back and "supervising". Landon's welds look pretty good.
Good job gentlemen!
At the start of this video that little fella looking up at his dad with such admiration is so cool. What a gift from God
Landon, you are so lucky to have the opportunity to be learning the things you are doing right now. When my son was your age he was in the shop with me and I often wondered if he was paying attention, today he's doing maintenance for a large plant. Dad is teaching you things that will keep you going all your life.
Gotta love this All American family. Building the future the right way. Thanks.
The whole family is funny. Dr. Wade's assistant was so committed. Good for her.
That was some fine looking welding on Landon's part. That kid's a keeper!
Good job. I would like to meet you guys. And my b do a muffler job for my wife's truck. I replaced the moter and I just wanted to hear it before I get really sick . Cancer stage 4. Thank you for your videos
Mike Godspeed to you brother 👍🇺🇸
I hope you can make that happen.
Loved Wade Jnr sitting holding the lamp closely watching the wound being sewn up. It's the countryside.
I am an electrician, since US Navy electrical school in 1957 at 17 years old. I worked full-time for 54 years. Retired at age 72 y.o. You are an amazing craftsman. An Artist. Congratulations. It's not work when you love what you are doing and that shows in your shop and projects. Keep going as absolutely long as you are physically able. I am 82 now and have 4 or 5 small projects in progress.now.
I am loving watching all of the Father & son work. Hopefully Lando will still be in the shop for other projects after his truck is complete. The whole family dynamic is one of the things that keep bringing me back to the Fab Rats channel. Well that, all of the amazing work and Papa Dar!!!
I love all the teaching moments between your kids, it will go on for generations.
I know that old Jackson welding hood isn't much but it does my heart good to see Landon using it. You guys really put out some great content. Thanks so much for sharing your life!
I think a good Dad teaches by example. That is what I see here. Your son is learning the right way with a smile. Special thanks to Dr. Wade and family (cute little son)!
In Canada stitches are free! I hate hand wounds, but have had more than my fair share. Be carefull out there. You're a great Dad teaching your son skills that will make him a man to be proud of!
You always appreciate something more if you put your own time and money into it. Landon isn't just being given a truck, he's earning it and helping fix it as he goes. I hope this is a truck he keeps and values all his life. Way to go, Landon, way to go, Dad.
Glad to see Landon enjoy working with his dad. Also dad enjoy teaching Landon.
Like father like son(s).
Good job Landon. Keep stackin' those dimes! You'll be on to the lathe and mill in no time. Good on ya dad!
Looking awesome guys . Keep up the good work . Great to see a man being a dad , and a son doing this with his dad , and not sitting on the couch playing video games all day . He’s learning and living things he will never forget, that’s the best part .
15:45 - The cheek of these young 'uns! Great welds from the lad, real life skills right there.
Edit - Love "dr" Wade's kid with a cheek bandaid to just round off the the scene 👍
The process of welding is simple science. The act of welding is a true art form, and from what I can see Lando is going to be a great artist like his father.
This young man will have so much more appreciation for the vehicle because he has been a big part of getting it built. Paul you are a tremendous role model for your kids!!!
This is one of the COOLEST channels on UA-cam. I wish I had a tight knit family/friends like you guys have. You are truly blessed!
Landon's welds look a lot better than some of the brand new trailers I've seen. Keep up the good practice Land!
Working in a surgery center for 4 years and watching many a doctor suture up some wounds, DR Wade did a heck of a good job on those stitches for learning from UA-cam. props.
22:01 a wife that brings in truck parts is a true supporter ❤️ that or things are going very well in the bedroom
Landon is going to be very proud of that truck and for good reason. He will be telling his grandkids about how tough his old man was, getting stitches at the dining table!!! LOL This is all good stuff. Thanks for sharing part of your family life with us and for another great video.
You have a milling machine, lathe, plasma cutters, welders and grinders. NICE toys.
TWO lifts, crane, big ol' shop...
and a whole lotta ambition, something I lack often times .. 😆
@@oneshotpete6.591 ditto! The more I age the easier it is to watch videos while thinking I should be working on SOMETHING!
@@hgj2019 i can so relate to that 😆
@@hgj2019 The older I get the less energy I have to get stuff done. When I was in my thirties I always assumed I'd have that much gas in the tank as I got older.
Lucky to have a guy like Paul as a dad , you don't know how good you got it bud.... I'm a South east coast guy about pauls age 😆..
What a great Father / Son time. Mentoring and Making Memories that will last forever. Congrats Dad & Lando.
My Dad was a WWII UK REME mechanic. Worked on cars and stuff with him from about age 5, it was always wonderful being with him.
Landon knows what it’s like to work for something . First thing I noticed was His Dad talking about smoking the tires off and Landon saying “NO” when I was a kid I would have said ohh yes burn them off. Then have to work another 2 weeks to get new ones.
You guys and gals are outrageous. Your son is so very fortunate to have this opportunity.
Literally the thing I look forward to most on Sunday’s… one day when I grow up I wanna be just like you… got a lot to do in the next 5-10 years haha. Thanks for putting your life out there for us to be a part of!!!
Good advice for your son on the safety glasses and ear plugs. Maybe Dad ought to start showing his children by example? Landon truck is going to turn out awesome. He'll remember this time working on it for the rest of his life. Good job Paul. Hope you heal quickly.
Love the hair commercials... Far better than ANY advertising firm could put together....Totally enjoyable.. Thanks
Good dad! Good mom! Will keep praying for all of you!
Going back thru older Vids....you have done ALL your kiddos well.....Hat's of to you.
Thats beautiful stitching and that little girl held that light so good for her dad . Paul be careful hi Michelle just benge watching having a sleepless night
On a farm that I worked on in high school, I was chasing hogs from a field into a cattle lane between two fields. The entrance to this lane was a 6' wide hole cut out of the farm fence, unknown to me the top wire was left uncut (remember this) to help maintain the fence tension. A mud hole had developed in that entrance to the lane. As the hogs ran through, I followed in close pursuit only to catch that wire right above the bridge of my nose, did I mention that I was in the air trying to jump over the mud puddle? Not as bad a cut as yours but you know how forehead cuts always look worse than they really are when bleeding.
Kudos for the son's welding, he's been paying attention.
❤️ you guys are awesome. Your children are so respectful and polite. Love the long blond hair 😁
That’s cool you’re uncle got you stitched up. My uncle is a old farmer and has stitched me up multiple times. Always saves some time and money. Build is coming along nice.
Really enjoy watching you teach your son and making memories! What better gift can you give your kids...He will be driving his truck for years to come saying, "My Pop and I worked on it together." Your a great father!
Can't wait to see it painted even though I like it the way it is. It already has the broken in look.. Landon is gonna have a really cool truck and memories when it's done..
Landon is already a head of his dad.
He didn't hurt himself, catch himself on fire
Pro tip for ya when welding Landon. If it sounds like bacon. Smells like bacon you are on fire.
Yes but he needs to be sure to use PPE all the time.
Looking good on that bed! Landis the more welding you do the better you will be! So keep on welding! OUCH on the hand and of course it is always the dominate hand you hurt!
Dad doing a great job with Landon. Truck looking good now. Paul, I almost did the same damn thing on a T post a few months back. Climbed them darn things all my life ranching. A while back the net wire slipped just as I was almost on the ground and If it would have been a second sooner I might have had the same exact issue and possibly a gut rip. I don't know that I want to climb another now. Good job on the stich job Doc.
I didn't know they made full length welding coats... 😂 Good job Lando....👍👍
Loved Dr. Wades assistant crouched on the OR table, bear foot holding the light... Got to love it.... Roflmbo 🤪🤣😜👍👍
Super lucky to have a friend like Dr Wade!
He does nice work to!
Gooseneck hitch. I appreciate the home surgery channel. Reminds me of me and my family. Bed is looking good. With the narrowed bed you should be able to load a pickup camper too!
Glad Paul was able to get put back together! Lando, is sure going to have a special ride, Johnny Cash’s song One piece at time comes to mind. So good to see and hear from Poppa Dar! Thanks for sharing!
👍👍Great video. I think local Tech Schools should pay you to come in and teach a class. I thinks you have the personality and patience for teaching.
it warms my heart how you two work there together. I would have wished for such a dad too!
Warm greetings from Germany
Nice job guys. Landon you did fine on those welds and Paul thanks for making sure everyone is using safety gear.👍👍
This is awesome. Love to watch handy craftsmanship. Back in 1980 I was an apprentice learning metal sheeting and welding. Fab Rats🤘🏽
Nice to have your son working with you. Good way to pass on knowledge
Everything is better with some personal sweat equity invested. Great job getting Landon invested in his truck. He will take better care of it and can drive it with pride knowing he worked on it alongside the best fabricator in the county.
Love landon in his dads old stuff. Memories are made of this. Dr.wade another kind of fabricator. Good old-fashioned pioneer blood runs in that family.
I hope Lando appreciates what a lucky kid he is! I'd give my right arm to be his age working with Paul.
Right hand😄🇦🇺
Always like watching the videos and seeing what Paul is rigging up. Good to see the kids running around and working on things themselves and learning how to build and fix things. I'm 48 and starting getting thin up top over the last couple years and have been using Keeps for 2 months now and my GF says she can see a difference.
I love that you have your kids learn so important!
Landon is a great kid and Paul you're a great father I think Landon is a pretty damn good welder this is a kind of thing we need to teach kids in school how to weld things together how to build things I love this project you guys are doing .
It is so good to see good to see you teaching your kids right. Good work ethic and a good trade. Awesome.
Ahhhh gosh that stitching section was really gnarly!! I saw the warning text, thought "nah, can't be that bad" and boy I was NOT prepared for that. Get well soon Paul!
Paul/Michelle, you need to "merch" a FabRat version of Paul's welding jacket complete with SAE90 oil stains and mountaindew odour. Bet you'd sell a few. The new "screaming yellow" colour needs to be tamed down a bit.
Great to see Lando and his dad "playing" so well together. Learn what you can from your dad Lando. He's the best teacher you're ever likely to have.
Thanks for the entertainment you all.
Regards from Canada's banana belt.🤞🇨🇦👍
Yeah for Dr. Wade!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂
Good work Landon
I have always said I don't like or want kids...but this is just so great that it honestly makes me debate. Paul is a great role model.
Great job of making sure safety rules are followed. PPE is paramount in the "shop" process!
Loved the Dr. Wade part. My dad was a doctor in the outback of Australia... he did surgery in the kitchen! for emergencies. That is some truck. Vikings buried warriors with their ships... you'd have to bury me with that truck if it was mine...
I was glad to see Lando welding. I have been wondering if he could. When he gets some confidence going, he will probably be pretty good. He is already a heck of a lot better than I would be. I like that Paul is making him do some of the work on the truck instead of just building it for him.
Landon did a good job hes being guided in the right direction i bet your all proud of him super job lad
You’re a great dad Paul , so much information and learning going on it’s awesome to see. That truck is gonna look fire when y’all are done . Mich is always there to help out as a parts runner , love your channel I always learn something too. Thank you for the content 👍🏼❤️😉
Landon did fine. He's a chip off the old block. God bless
Land will get better with your guidance!!!! Keep em coming Rats!!!!
So glad yuo talk about safety equipment So many people see follow these programs and idolize you guys. Bad habits has no place here Thanks to keep safety first Still enjoy your program immensely
Paul love how Landon is learning life’s good lessons on vehicle build and repair , plus his welding is better than mine , I’m jealous!!
Myself as a father of girls also taught them how to with cars, but it’s still nice to get that call from them even now 30 years later asking what’s the best way to fix this or that.
Train up a child in the way of the lord and they will always remember.
Great job Paul with your hand. Scares tell a story that is never forgotten
God bless
when finding degrees of the headache rack you used the tool to find 75 degrees, then you said the degree is 25... but its 15 degrees because you take 75 from 90, not 100 degrees.
I was following along at 15:19 and doing the math in my head until he said "should be 25 degree angle". Wait a minute! That's not right! Maybe it's 'cause you're gettin' old. 😁
Lol. Yeah, I had to rewind and listen again to be sure he hadn't referenced 75" or something. And then when he tried it on, I was really hoping I'd see an "OOPS!!!" pop-up on the video. Lol. "Guess it should have been 20°" 😂
Love the video. Y'all do great work!
Just making sure you guys are paying attention!😉
@@FabRats Haha, Thanks to my morning coffee i was able to!
You guys are awesome, keep entertaining me. Wholesome family show that I like. Beats watching tv.
PAUL Great video Thanks for sharing . Landon did great
welding . NOT HIS FIRST TIME :-))
For building his first truck. I think he's doing a AWESOME job... Keep it up...
I have the exact same scar on my left palm and on my stomach from a T post and broken wire. 😂 I almost passed out when my grandpa doctored it up for me. 😅
Paul is a mans man and his hands tell the story of a man who works with them. You inspire me bud to be a better dad as you are one awesome dude and amazing dad.
Michelle's commercials OMG! Matt in a fluffy blue bath robe, now Papa Dar in a wig. Run Paul run!
Too bad Paul n' Landon's work schedules are not closer. Paul could do less work and Landon could get more learning. 😃
I hope your hand heals up quickly. Praying for y’all
While my dad was a fantastic guy, neither of us had the skills that you guys have. I love seeing this build. Making memories.
