I started my own welding business because of you. Just to let you know you inspire. Still working my day job. Just started moving slow but steady. Your the man.
Hiya, I found your channel via Matts weekly update and your work with April on her saw mill. I've only watched one of your videos so far, the latest and wow, stop action has it's place and this is it, plus the inspired choice of music, slow almost melancholy parts then faster pace of music matching the action on the screen so very well. I'll subscribe when I've posted this... very well done...
Love it. I`m always expecting to hear the radio announcers voice at the end, saying " that was a concerto buy Yohan Strauss" or something like that. Great job as usual.🤜
i just got done welding a industrial styled patio table and then i see this. its amazing what you fabricate bro. another great video. Have a great week JD
See you are coming out of the closet. That being a Classical Music aficionado. I was sure it was Grieg but something was quite right,. Got me. Couldn't figure it out.
Beastmode! Hey JD, compared to any other metal squares you've used in your shop how do those Fireball tools ones work in comparison? Just what I've seen they look pretty solid, thinking bout getting some.
do you get any hassling over your beard? I have a full beard myself, well over 1 foot long, in my past I applied to welding shops & was told to leave, not allowed to fill application over having a beard, & I probably burned my bridges cussing them but many years ago. places say its a liability, & dont want me there, even mechanic garages, body shops. I found 1 that lets me work under table, I do all rust repair & replacing body panels, as needed, but I may work good part time for a few weeks & no work for a few weeks, but most places wont even consider me, I once was doing side work welding, but after a bad customer from craigslist I stopped welding. I recently decided to get back into welding just unsure if will have issues on my beard, & I have cut it off 3 times in 40 years, & last time I cut it off & started it back the next day 10 years ago, I hated the way I looked without it, but had the proverbial wild hair. time before that was 1999, for my moms funeral, as she always hounded me about it, but it stayed off 2 weeks. lol. I am hoping my gas powered machines will still be usable, as I parked them & left them close to 6 years ago sitting near edge of my woods. just cut small sapplings & tall weeds to get to 1 a couple days ago.
I watched this first instead of part one. I'm not going to get points deducted for not following directions am I? Looks good as always sir. Fancy template, I always use a framing square and the brass clamps myself.
So the client has to paint the stairs and platform?? You could always add extra $$ for supplying the job already painted and installed. More $$ turnover and profit per job taken on. Just a thought.
So do I. The prep and painting takes longer than the measuring, cutting and welding. Love Your work JD, but fix that trailer floor, that missing board is a hazard. I would sure love some of those Fireball Tool squares but not available in the Netherland or anywhere in Europe and to expensive to have them shipped from the USA.
Can you recommend a technique to use a grinding for square tube or channel ? Enjoy the video, thank for sharing. You are the inspiration.( I cannot speak english , I use translate programe)😅
J .D. Im convince I have to invest in the Fireball products after seeing you do so many things with it.. I have a very smal shop and I can see great things happening.. I live in Birmingham Al. and welders r n demand I just open up a channel check me out..Thanks..
Very nice. :) of course when I looked in the comments to see if some one asked already I didnt see any. And now one from 3 days ago is right below mine. Lol.
These are likely the best value per dollar. I like Walter, like who doesn't, but Pferd and Metabo's M-calibur wheels are very good as well. I think the M-calibur are the absolute best but they cost like it. Sait's Zirconia wheel (the Z-tech) is quite good as well.
@@jdbrewer6638 there is a stair case at a hotel. it about 17 steps. it's gotta be closed riser stairs. pretty much i have to take out the tread, risers, i can keep the railing and the support that is bolted to the concert and the structure. their is two options build each step. or get them formed but i don't have the man power or equipment to lift in place. any tip or ideas. Thank
@@satamanschmidt3428ust because it's not your type of music doesn't mean it sucks. I'm into rock from Led Zep to Queens of but I can enjoy this music as well after all a lot of later music is based on what went before, in fact Bob Dylan told me it all does. Don't be a bigot and insist that only your choice is viable.
Some folks get up in morning and watch garbage on tv. While others get up and watch JD. Bravo!
Haha thank you! Thanks for watching
I thought this was a welding / fabrication channel. I now realize this is an artist that welds and builds things!
This guy hustles. I respect the work ethic.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching!!
Loved your Stair Template! My Dad always preached to me to “Work Smarter not Harder”
Industrial cleverness...great work!
Thanks alot!
I started my own welding business because of you. Just to let you know you inspire. Still working my day job. Just started moving slow but steady. Your the man.
Awesome!! Good luck! Thanks alot
JD I feel if you hadn't got those fireball square's you would lost 🤣 JD you are a first class operator and a joy to watch 👍🤙
Thanks alot!! I kind of feel like I have forgotten how to work without them.... they are simply the best!!
The Real Deal👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks for your support, Jody!! It means alot!
Think I owe you guys the $25,000 i was going to drop on welding school before i found your videos. much love.

Thanks, glad you liked it! Welcome!
Pain of working by yourself. Moving big things. Good thing you have the crane. Great video as always JD
Thanks buddy! It can be tough sometimes working by yourself
With the right tools and highly skilled craftsman as yourself = job well done. Pt2 just as good as Pt1. Thanks for sharing JD.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching!
and i love the bad floor in the trailer , it makes you more like the rest of us
Turned out great, as usual. Thanks for taking us along JD!!
No problem, thanks for watching!!
Love it. I`m always expecting to hear the radio announcers voice at the end, saying " that was a concerto buy Yohan Strauss" or something like that. Great job as usual.🤜
A true inspiration to me a DIY guy to build my stuff so it's always square and true the way a professional would build it.
Thanks, thanks for watching!
i just got done welding a industrial styled patio table and then i see this. its amazing what you fabricate bro. another great video. Have a great week JD
Thanks alot, I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
A thing of beauty! Nice job. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!!
Damn, that was amazing. From the build to the video format.
j.d You are a professional pleasure to see how you work !!
Thank you very much!
Another quality job by JD! Excellent work.
Thanks alot!!
love watching this guys thanks for telling me about him Jody
great job, great music...great video...thanks for sharing
Great job on the build JD!
Thank you very much!!
Wow, great music and awesome Job. I didn't see you reference any plans, which is even more amazing..
No plans, just a few dimensions. Thanks for watching
JD Brewer is definitely THE MAN
Great video. Thanks.for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Excelente trabajo te quedo perfecto 👍
Thank you very much!
I look forward to every video.....what DID we do before Fireball squares.....one thing though....eye protection when you're cutting......yes?
I have forgotten how to work with out them!!
Impressive work.... I would have screwed up those stairs for sure! :-(
I normally do but I just figured out how to cheat with the plasmacam
See you are coming out of the closet. That being a Classical Music aficionado. I was sure it was Grieg but something was quite right,. Got me. Couldn't figure it out.
I love your videos! You need to replace your boards in your trailer with galvanized floor plate. Just a thought.
I do need to upgrade the trailer, thanks for watching!!
My favorite classical music channel lol. Did they paint it yellow like the other railings? Very nice work!
Thanks! I didn't have to paint it, they did
Beastmode! Hey JD, compared to any other metal squares you've used in your shop how do those Fireball tools ones work in comparison? Just what I've seen they look pretty solid, thinking bout getting some.
Honestly there is nothing that even compares to how well these work.
Thanks for watching!
For sure! Thanks for the feedback.
question, how thick should the plates be?
do you get any hassling over your beard? I have a full beard myself, well over 1 foot long, in my past I applied to welding shops & was told to leave, not allowed to fill application over having a beard, & I probably burned my bridges cussing them but many years ago. places say its a liability, & dont want me there, even mechanic garages, body shops.

I havent really been hassled but I've never had a big beard while working for others.... working for myself I've never had an issue. Hate that for you
I watched this first instead of part one. I'm not going to get points deducted for not following directions am I? Looks good as always sir. Fancy template, I always use a framing square and the brass clamps myself.
Haha no points deducted! Thanks for watching
Hi, JD! Thanks for your video! How do you like Esab Rebel?
I like it very much. It's the 285 in the shop and it's a very impressive machine
So the client has to paint the stairs and platform??
You could always add extra $$ for supplying the job already painted and installed.
More $$ turnover and profit per job taken on. Just a thought.
Time is money, too much time to paint... I hate painting
So do I. The prep and painting takes longer than the measuring, cutting and welding.
Love Your work JD, but fix that trailer floor, that missing board is a hazard.
I would sure love some of those Fireball Tool squares but not available in the Netherland or anywhere in Europe and to expensive to have them shipped from the USA.
Hey JD I’m a welding contractor in Dallas, TX and would love to ask you a few things off the public board here. How do you recommend this to happen?
Instagram is the best
Good job on that
Thank you!
Nice work JD, amazing the stuff you can do all by yourself! Was this then painted on site?
Can you recommend a technique to use a grinding for square tube or channel ? Enjoy the video, thank for sharing. You are the inspiration.( I cannot speak english , I use translate programe)😅
Thank you for watching! Slow and steady is the best way to use a grinder to cut square
JD Brewer Thank you very much for your suggestion 🙏🙏🙏( From Thailand fan club JD.)
👍👍👍👍
J .D. Im convince I have to invest in the Fireball products after seeing you do so many things with it.. I have a very smal shop and I can see great things happening.. I live in Birmingham Al. and welders r n demand I just open up a channel check me out..Thanks..
Awesome. 😀
Did I miss something? Are you back in the old shop?
Yes, I moved back... couldn't pass up a good deal... moved back in june
Very nice. :) of course when I looked in the comments to see if some one asked already I didnt see any. And now one from 3 days ago is right below mine. Lol.
@@nosferatu49426 hahah it's all good
👍
What cutting wheels are you using? Love your work btw
Thanks! Metabo slicer plus
These are likely the best value per dollar. I like Walter, like who doesn't, but Pferd and Metabo's M-calibur wheels are very good as well. I think the M-calibur are the absolute best but they cost like it. Sait's Zirconia wheel (the Z-tech) is quite good as well.
@@satamanschmidt3428 yes there are "better" wheels but cost so much more.... so you run into diminishing returns
How did you get the dimensions on that stair tread template?
Just layed it out on the plasmacam
Of course.
Hey JD, do you have an email address where we can reach out to you? We'd like to chat with you about something!
apexwelds@gmail.com
@@jdbrewer6638 Thanks a lot! We'll send you an email shortly.
The angle 90 degrees Where can you buy one?
Fireballtool.com
Nice 👍
Gloves Men!
👍👍👍 you back in your old shop now?
Yes, since june
I miss your overhead hoist already lol
@@jdbrewer6638 I felt a little crowded at other place........to me
Got Joel's side too?
@@GibClark yeah it was.... Joel moved out at the same time my lease was up... so I was able to double my space for the same price
i have a question about stairs
Ok

@@theweldingmachine I'd just build each step at a time. Just do what you can handle
@@jdbrewer6638 thanks. I enjoy your videos they are helpful and inspiring.
@@jdbrewer6638 what a good step thickness?
Should slow down videos and music sucks
The music does suck. That's a fact.
Anything for you!!
Try this: th-cam.com/video/xZYQafx3pIQ/w-d-xo.html Works well with the speeded up camera.
