this brings back good memories, just watching Jesse.. when i was young i used to stay at my dads, and my dad used to build hot rods and bikes for living. i just have good memories of sitting on a Friday night, getting takeaways, then watching Jesse James during the night! early 2000s, i was 13 or so. my dad has passed away for just over two years ago now. so this was super cool for me to see this. i hope more gets uploaded on youtube
My thoughts and prayers are with you my friend ❤️🙏 All my love and respect is with you. I’m so sorry to hear about your father passing away. He’s in Paradise…and soon you’ll be with him👍
I’m 73, I remember as a kid maybe 12 working in my dads shop bucking rivets on the inside of truck bodies, worked the entire summer to buy my first motorcycle , 56 zundapp. Thanks I really enjoy watching your work
I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching Jesse James do what he does with metals and fabrication. His passion for what he does is becoming more of a lost art every year. I am actually teaching my kids how to weld and do woodworking because I think they are skills that come into play at some point in life and 98% of people don't have the slightest clue as to what or how to accomplish some of those skills when needed.
jesse its great to see you teaching , our young people need to carry our metal working skills into the generations to come, or your right it will be lost. building a bike or anything one of a kind gives us the satisfaction of hand made. keep up the good work and share the gifts you have. take care and hope everything is well for you.
Enjoyed watching you work. USAF taught me to shoot rivets and fabricate sheet metal. I would love to be doing that again instead of delivering food. Me and another Sgt. made lots of travel pods for F-16s. Making floors, doors, backing plates that had to be machine roles to fit inside empty napalm pods. Rivets all through the night. It is a blessing to be able to work with your hands. Watching you work with metal is always a joy. My oldest son loved watching Monster Garage with me years ago. He now works in a fabrication shop for Viking manufacturing in Phoenix. Thanks Van Cave
As a guy who does riveting on fighter jets everyday as a job, i can also say its a skill that is being lost. As companys role in machines that do what hands use to do, the skill is being lost. But its an awesome skill, as it can be used from aerospace, to automotive, even i the tech industry, to just making art.
I've always wanted to build a rat rod and make the body and internals in that riveted style. I don't have a garage so I had to put it on hold but that's one of those things that's on my bucket list.
BG, as a guy who does riveting on fighter jets everyday as a job are you saying you are current military and you repair/patch panels. Or do you build jets for an aerospace contractor?
@@Dixler683 i work for aerospace contractor. Bucking rivets is something that i do alot of, and in alot of hard to reach areas. Its a skill that not everyone can learn.
There are so many cool old tools and tricks that should be preserved in an archive and museum. It needs to be done before the old timers are all gone. And done by someone who has an appreciation.
I learned all these skills from an old aircraft sheetmetal worker, and use them to fabricate old racecar parts and cool furniture. I love the look of riveted fabrication, a forgotten art.
@@cliffearl If he did, i bet he used a dotco and sanding pad instead of a rosebud or in-n-out lol He needs double hearing protection....my left ear would know. lol
Sounds Karen af, but you gotta deburr that. Saw the burs falling as he shot and bucked the rivets. Not for an airplane im sure, but it's the right way. No f.o.d. still looked cool as shit and I'm glad he's even showing people how it's done.
This is therapeutic, watching the art come to life and listening to Jesse calmly explain it. Bob Ross eat your heart out! They both had a similar life transformation, now that I think of it; Ross having been a drill instructor in his early days.
Always been a bad ass in my book, I watched monster garage all the time visited west coast choppers when he was down in long beach and hit his food spot he had too. Hands down a truly talented Guy.
Been a fan for as long as I can remember, genius fabricator Jesse James is. Hands on, can't stress enough by hand, By Hand, by hand. Whether it's English wheels or whatever the hell he's working on, found out not too long ago I'm actually related to the dude. Pretty damn cool. I'm actually descendant of the Great Jesse James as well.
Great looking work Jesse . Looks like it is right out of the 30,s or 40,s aircraft era. Your range of skills is never ending . Keep up the great work .
Jesse you are my roll model ! Your skills are hands down the best in the world. Ive learn sooo much from your videos! I so would love to hit up your shop and meet you.
The problem with today’s youth is they want everything NOW but don’t want to be bothered making it. Click a mouse courier delivers it to the door. It more look at what I can afford not look at what I can do. Keep sharing your knowledge Jesse god bless you.
I've been watching Jesse James sence I was a teenager. I admire him for the no bullshit attitude. I also like how he builds bikes and cars you can use as well as look like a work of art. Not like those 150k OCC piles that use the head light bulb for a fuse and have a half pint gass tank.
Jesse.. you are a dying bread!! I hope one day I can teach my two young boys true craftsmanship! I build custom homes.. that shit is easy compared to what you do!! Thanks for being a true American Roll model!! Keep up the good work and definitely stay safe. 🤔 “Ish”
Great stuff you're doing. 1 side note, please start riveting in the middle, than work to each side. You get less deformation and missallignment of the drilled holes. (At least that's how we do it in the aircraft building shops)
Ear protection, in February I got out of bed and half my hearing was gone, Dr said you been losing it you just didn't know it, all from power tools, just a warning my friends
Try working in an assembly plant for 27 years. I used to think the pneumatic symphony was cool. Then you get someplace quiet and all you hear is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Also like to add that JJ is literally my idol. Show me the way master
Monster..Monster Garage ....Monster..Monster Garage.... Is it really true Jesse? Is there really a chance it and you are coming back to make the best car show ever?? Cause that would be F☆♧k!n awesome!!!!
I've been a fan for years... I still have old school west coast choppers metal sticker on my welding shield... As beat up as it is I won't part with it...
So funny. Like hand riveting is unheard of? Welcome to the world of aircraft fabrication and assembly! I can speed rivet hundreds of 3/16 diameter rivets in minutes, and all bucktails perfect. Watch a good Boeing speed-riveter go at it! I kinda cracked up at this.
I thought so too, but it could just be the angle. I don't like the little line/channel peeking out front underneath that piece. Looks like the afterthought that it was.

As a sheetmetal/ structures technician on aircraft who has incorporated this process all over my own builds, this is awesome. He nailed it
I've always respected Jesse as a craftsman and i respect him even more seeing him still using the first cordless drill he ever bought
Lol
Remember when he beat up Sandra Bullock? Dude Chris browned her ass
i can watch this guy working the whole day , keep it coming guys
That can be a problem too , I keep being late to work. 😆
He’s just so methodical. True craftsman
I know you need to push your guitar playing but we would rather listen to any noise Jesse makes.

“Metal is nice, you can always beat it to submission”
-Jesse James.
like his women
Look up to this guy! He has so much knowledge wish he had a school or teach a class. Would be a blast!

I love watching him work. He is doing what he loves and getting paid. He has it figured out. So glad I found this.

Watching him work, I can get lost in the process like I am doing it myself. But much slower. Very cool

He's not wrong when it comes to riveting with a buck bar. Super satisfying doing it right, with perfect rivet heads and backs.
A TRUE craftsman
This dude is a Legend 💯 I was happy when it messaged me back on Instagram. I asked him about welding and he told me what I should do.
Wow, did you touch yaself after?
Did he tell you to “pay up, sucka!?”
Jesse, I think you just made every aircraft structures technicians day.
i'm a structures mech of 17 years, nothing special he did in my opinion lol
@@rushforce33 I wonder if he deburred anything before he shot the rivets?
@@cliffearl If he did, i bet he used a dotco and sanding pad instead of a rosebud or in-n-out lol He needs double hearing protection....my left ear would know. lol

I'm learning all this stuff. I'm going to teach my son all of these. I'm trying to do my part and keep it going
It’s nice to watch a master craftsmen work. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
This is therapeutic, watching the art come to life and listening to Jesse calmly explain it. Bob Ross eat your heart out!
They both had a similar life transformation, now that I think of it; Ross having been a drill instructor in his early days.
I don't even know anything about this stuff but I could watch him work all day. Thanks for the great content
touched and DONE by hand. a PURE craftsman!!!
Oh the action... It's so riveting!
Hell yea! It’s always awesome seeing you make parts from nothing. Your the man!
Absolutely old-school amazing talent unbelievable
I'm a southern California guy that now lives in Texas. I like your work.
Always been a bad ass in my book, I watched monster garage all the time visited west coast choppers when he was down in long beach and hit his food spot he had too.
Hands down a truly talented Guy.
I love this,, was just watching a guy in Montana rebuilding wooden wagon wheels.. pretty cool.
dave is a craftsmen,,welder wheel right woodworker, artist,painter blacksmith, all arond talented man
Hi Jesse! My grandma was a Rosie Riveter during WWII.
Thanks. I appreciate the comment. -Jesse

Thank you for your knowledge

Jesse you are my roll model ! Your skills are hands down the best in the world. Ive learn sooo much from your videos! I so would love to hit up your shop and meet you.
Jesse is awesome! And I still remember when he gave PJD shit for making a riveted bike. LOL
That looks like an air powered riveter. Riveting by hand takes waaaaaaaay longer.

That trumph tool is great. Miss my sheet metal shop
Sad that the edition of this video cuts the fabrication process to tiny bits .... I’d prefer to see much more
Work of art ! 👍
I do this daily as an airframe mechanic. Love riveting and fabricating, I don't weld though.
I’d love to have that as a desk chair or game chair!! That be so sick!! Love your work!
I love this channel. Awesome craftsmanship JJ👍
Jesse you are a professional your videos are nice to watch and hi for finland 🇫🇴🇫🇴🇫🇴
Jesse.. you are a dying bread!! I hope one day I can teach my two young boys true craftsmanship! I build custom homes.. that shit is easy compared to what you do!! Thanks for being a true American Roll model!!
Keep up the good work and definitely stay safe. 🤔
“Ish”
100% agree. Today the word "handmade" has so much more value.
Lovin' this !!! Mancraft work with your hand and your head to build and make stuff, the good old days !!! Should be like this for everything thx !!
Remember "Monster Garage" i miss it 🙄
@@87notchback I don't think so, they quit years ago
@@ThatRandomMan1 it rebooted on discovery plus on January 4th
Inspires me to slow down on my projects and focus on craftsmanship. Make it nice and cool.
Complete badass
I can’t wait to see what he makes next.
Fine work.
Awesome!
I was born in 92 and love the old look how everything workef
OMG, Jesse James does the same shit tons of other fabricators due, every day? I can't believe it, he is amazing!
Very nice work i do the same at home doing my own craftsmanship
Pretty cool. Instead of using tape on the drill bit they make tools for it. The are called drill stops. Can get them at the yard store.
Wish I had Jessie in the shop when I was doing jacket sheet on tank trailers. I'm shore I could have used his addvise
Great stuff you're doing. 1 side note, please start riveting in the middle, than work to each side. You get less deformation and missallignment of the drilled holes. (At least that's how we do it in the aircraft building shops)
Smh
Ear protection, in February I got out of bed and half my hearing was gone, Dr said you been losing it you just didn't know it, all from power tools, just a warning my friends
What ?
I had a hard time reading that from the flash burn I got welding, but I hear ya
Try working in an assembly plant for 27 years. I used to think the pneumatic symphony was cool. Then you get someplace quiet and all you hear is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Also like to add that JJ is literally my idol. Show me the way master
Oh $hit! Getting weld flash SUPER sux! Feels like ur eyeballs got dunked in sand
What mathematical formula do you use for the spacing of the rivets?
Great job. It turned out sweet 👍👍🇨🇱
I feel so far behind just started learning to do lead work at the shop I work at.
Anyone can make a good piece.... but with style only one can make this. From France 🤘🤘🤘
I feel the same way fucking awesome been watching Jesse my whole fucking life thank you
Very talented.
I learned this and other trade techniques in high school. Welding, running a lathe, casting. I guess they don't teach much shop anymore. It's a shame
Good seeing hand made
Hi Jesse what brand are those hole punch ! Do they have interchangeable dies cheers Brian please much more old skill ?
Your the inspiration of what I do!. Thanks man!.
Awesome work! If that were me working with metal without wearing gloves I'd have cut the hell out of my hands.
Damn imagine all the stuff you would learn in just 6 months working for Jesse.
He seems happier in his older age..
music tells another story
"Jesse James Rivets by Hand!" Do you think it's magic or something? Good content but these JJ titles are pretty silly.
Titles by people who have never used their hand for anything my dude besides typing UA-cam titles haha
I was thinking that. If by hand they mean using pneumatic tools, then yes, he sure did.
It's called clickbait
@@rumplespliffskin right... Last time I riveted by hand I used a hammer and rivet punch... And that was for the United States military..
@@rumplespliffskin right... Last time I riveted by hand I used a hammer and rivet punch... And that was for the United States military..
What other way is there to rivet?
I didn't know you could do it any other way
You do some really good work man...keep it up buddy...
Jesse James. The mike Tyson of fabrication Iron Jesse is what I’ve always referred him to.
Show de trabalho, parabéns sempre
Jessie James butters his own toast!!
Monster..Monster Garage ....Monster..Monster Garage.... Is it really true Jesse? Is there really a chance it and you are coming back to make the best car show ever?? Cause that would be F☆♧k!n awesome!!!!
I mean it's amazing craftsmanship but how else do y'all put rivets in wish I had that little air hammer though. Make life a lot easier
That's what I thought...I guess ppl use their mouth 😒🤭🤔🤔💯🤟
@@pighater951 everyone knows that one old head that be out there "oh back in my day"
Thank you for sharing. It means a lot.
I've been a fan for years... I still have old school west coast choppers metal sticker on my welding shield... As beat up as it is I won't part with it...
Cool seat great job, be nice though to actually see you do a rivet not these 3 second mtv style subliminal shots. Thank for sharing.
I thought the same thing 😂
Using a machine is not doing anything by hand
Love it
Man I’d love to learn stuff like this
Nobody does it better.
3/16 vacuum line works as well.
We want our paper . Much love
Do you sell those seats they are what I'm looking for for my s-10. ?
Is that a custom end on the river took?
So funny. Like hand riveting is unheard of? Welcome to the world of aircraft fabrication and assembly! I can speed rivet hundreds of 3/16 diameter rivets in minutes, and all bucktails perfect. Watch a good Boeing speed-riveter go at it! I kinda cracked up at this.
Please turn the music down and let us hear the education
The top piece looks uneven and crooked.
@A T No. I collect West Coast Choppers parts and have a WCC bike. But if you look at the top piece, it’s crooked. Don’t you see it?
B W top piece is where it went wrong. Bead blasting was the wrong idea also. Ruined the esthetic.
Yea where the arch is
I thought so too, but it could just be the angle. I don't like the little line/channel peeking out front underneath that piece. Looks like the afterthought that it was.
That cause he folded it to use a punch which had a shallow throat…instead of using a drill to drill holes😂
Looking good jess
I wish i could do half this stuff
Aircraft maintenance 101...😄
