Great job! Landon is a lucky boy to have parents like you to not only help him but also teach him.
You said a mouthful! Great family!
Nice work ! Your son that was making a knife making forge a while back is probably drooling over that new grinder , that thing is a knife makers dream.
Great job 👍👍
Amazing what you can do with stuff you have around 😉
Landon is a lucky guy to have a Dad like you 😁
He will be an even luckier guy to learn from his dad.
Paul's a great Dad for his kids and how someone can unlike this type of video is beyond me. God bless Paul & Michelle family.
Man when are those push rods showing up. cant wait to hear that thing fire up. Nice work Paul!
That's exactly what I was thinking
At this rate he could have made his own, would have been faster
Puch rods or no push rods There is a lot of work and Paul is doing it se well The engine goes in in no time flat The end product is going to be great
That bumper is a BEAUTIFUL piece of work!!!
100x better than the batmobile bumpers most people put on their trucks 🤣
Piece of work? That is ART!
You're a good Father. I'm sure Landon knows how lucky he is to have a Father that is willing to put this much time and effort into his rig. Nice job
note to self: Don't brake check Landon
On a personal note, I hope your kids know what a great Dad they have
Haha, I just mentioned this, didn’t even see this 👍🏻
Paul, you did an outstanding fabrication on the bumper. I like the way you brougt it down to 2" on the ends and formed it to bend around the ends to match the truck front ends.
Never knew I'd enjoy watching a bumper being built .. but damn that's one sweet and tough bumper. Always enjoy watching your process.. I'm learning to trust my "eyecrometer" more and more...
Cats keeps you humble.😍
They're hard to impress, for sure. LOL!
I really liked the time lapse of the welding. I would love to see more of that of the entire progress. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge / experience. A+ channel.
Fascinating to watch you build a bumper from scratch. 👍👍👍👍👍
Bumper turned out great. The seat looks amazing as well.
Yes, the seat was sick, but now it is well!
Should make them Merch...they'd sell.
That beige seat looks identical in wear and color on my 1986 Chevy Silverado K-10, thanks for reminding me about my seat👍🇺🇸..
Great fab build vid Paul. Belt sander makes lots of grinding dust that settles on everything in the shop...as you probably found out. Ours were set up with a exhaust filter system. "Pauls eyecrometer" looks like a good brand. Should last many more years. Looking forward to the next fab vid and the painted "bumper".
I built my first bumper in welding class in 1984, on a lifted 77 K5 with 35's. 6 inch c-beam with 2 2 inch tubes welded in the back of it with similar angled ends, this brings back memories. Eventually we ground the bottom of it razor sharp and I used to tear down trails and turn into the trees at random and chop them off 10 in a row. It would chop a 5-6 inch tree off easily. Pure genius I tell ya. Legal? Probably not. The trails we did it on were in the process of being removed for development, they were actively destroying the woods already, we were crazy kids but not destroying woods intentionally. Its a giant mall and dozens of stores now, of course. Nice job Paul, as usual.
I really enjoying seeing how you figure things out as you progress on a project. Keep the great videos coming.
Got my stickers, that was amazingly quick. Got a 2021 Bronco Sport, 87 Bronco XLT and a 90 Bronco 2 running around Southern Virginia advertising your show.
Paul, we really got to talk about those elk antlers that you try to keep hidden by all the extra parts. Another great day at the shop, thanks for sharing.
This talks about the antlers a little bit. 👍🏻th-cam.com/video/10jQGQSIXd0/w-d-xo.html
@@FabRats Thanks
Great way to bond with your kids AND family by doing this channel that so many people are falling in L💖VE with this days! Glad they’re captioned so it helps your deaf fans follow your channel!🤟😉 Keep up the awesome projects as well as your fun towing runs with Matt! Fab Rat’s ROCK!🤘😎
That Bumper is awesome! Master fabricator!!!!
Thanks for another great teaching video! I learned that I have a built in eyecrometer😁
That was the fastest 26 minutes ever. Happy as a clam while watching but immediately heartbroken when it’s over. I know I speak for everyone. Longer videos and more of’em. Thank you 😊
Love the fabrication on the bumper, it turned out amazing! Finally something I could tackle putting my electrical containment skills to good use! Love the belt sander, you looked well pleased with that! 🇮🇪👍
I'm glad your eyechromter hasn't gone wonky. Looks dead on to me. They did a fantastic job on the seat. Your are right about that sander you will use the heck out of it.
Put an air fitting on that bumper and it will serve as an air tank as well!
Or fill it with gas as an emergency fuel tank. 🤞🇨🇦👍
@@ronwilken5219 filling your front bumper with a flammable fluid .. um no thanks
That would keep him from ever thinking about tailgating :)
“One way to learn stuff and that’s to do it”
Spot fucking on.
Nice work with the "lightning scissors". That looks fantastic, Paul!
Dude just when I'm already impressed with Paul and his mechanical abilities he goes and fabricates an awesome bumper off the top of his head, Great work !! Lando and the rest of your kids are so lucky to have him he can go anything .. Love your channel.
I had my C10 seat done at the same place and they do a fantastic job! Also the bumper is looking really good and stout!
Yes Paul I can’t wait for the FJ to be started also 😀
I love watching your creativity. I love even more that you are in southern Utah. So proud to see all the stuff you do
Man you guys sure do well out there in Utah. I like how you guys just plug away. You guys are the very few channels that don’t say a word about Covid and that is awesome thanks for your time and positivity.
Landon you are a very lucky young man. Of course you are a good young man. So it's deserved. God bless
Man i hope that sander is sponsored. You definitely deserve it, cant wait to watch it in action on that yota build
Hi Paul and son, you are an amazing fabricator, I am so proud of you guys building the kid first truck together. Love from California.
That’s a nifty looking bumper there Paul. Cannot wait to watch the FJ build!!!
The bumper looks sweet! Look forward to seeing the finished truck.
This is freaking awesome you make me want to break out a welder again and that sander will have so many uses i can only imagine we will see one of those in a certain workshop with a banana in it very soon or him in your workshop 😜 very cool and great to see so many skills being passed along
That's a great bumper and a nice seat. Every time i watch y'alls videos i want my own shop more and more
You are a really fantastic Dad. I think that many of us would love a dad like you. My Dad was a brainiac, was not much with working with his hands on creating or fabricating. Yet, He was very smart in other areas. thank you for sharing and showing us how to build something of that nature. Watch it take shape before our eyes. Another treat is that we get to see Michelle, Hi there, that is always nice as well.
The BEST cat we ever had was a shop cat named Granny. 14 years and counting. She's a mouser...she'll work with ya...Cats are perfect in a shop...just go with it hahaha
Cats will feed themselves while you're away. Dogs? Need too much care. Cats can be trained to come at a call either verbally or with a whistle. They'll even walk on a leash if you train them from an early age.
we support the kitty on the shop
Needs a naming contest. Rat is my selection.
Landon got the "you have how many youtube viewers who will see this?" job done on that bench seat. That looks like it belongs in a trailered show queen restoration. Great work!
Great job on front bumper only way not to be jealous on belt sander was to buy on!!😇🦘 the belt sander guys just great people!
You just see it in your minds eye and build it! Lucky kid to have a dad with that kind of skills. Glad you have him put in some time, money and sweat into it!
That is a great bumper. Seriously, I'd buy that all day
Your content is so entertaining! Just know that everyone watching it is thinking, "I'd like to hang out in that shop." Keep on keeping on.
Not many Dads would do what your are for Landon. See nothing that Landon would Not Like. Kudos Paul.
Did I mention that That Bumper is Boss? It Is!! Nice Build...
I absolutely love watching everything you BUILD!! Just wish when y'all made play lists it was in order that would be awesome!!! I did get my Fab Rats Merch in!!!!!!!!! Thank you all
that bumper is so awesome and love to see the kids getting rewarding for hard work/being good
This looks great. You need a casting of your Logo and then you can leave it on your custom parts.
Your awesome parents Paul & Michelle teaching your children work ethics & always being supportive. Bumper is looking amazing heavy duty. 🙏🦾
With quality in mind and pride of workmanship in your heart. Enjoyable watching you Paul.
Dude! So fricking jealous! Would absolutely love to have that grinder. Love the content, brother. Landos truck is looking great.
This turned out pretty dang sweet! I need to build a nice big winch bumper for my own truck. What's the wall thickness of the rectangle tube and what's the thickness of the frame?
There are few things more gratifying than watching a craftsman who cares little or nothing about weight. Gives me goosebumps! My approach is find the heaviest piece of steel you can find and add three pounds of welding wire to it.
Gotta have something to keep the front end on the ground.
If I can be half as great a dad as you are to my little one coming in November, I’d be thrilled. You are so patient and understanding, even when your son brings a cat home🤣 really love the channel and your sweet family.🙏🏻💙
Gotta get kitty fixed! Appears to be old enough. My advice, as a former auto body shop owner who loves cats, is to do it ASAP before you wind up with 6 more hanging around😻
BTW Great job on the bumper!
Most dad line ever... "I'm running out of ambition on HIS project."
While dad's new project is just outside the shop starring at him every day
that statement of "well you just let them keep it" stands how great of a dad you are!
It’s coming along nice , I’m sure he will be proud of this truck, especially being a father and son project !
That bumper is awesome! Wouldn't do for us to live closer.
I want to thank you for refreshing my mind in making things with metal.. Been a long time since I used a welder and lathe and all that good stuff.. You do a great job. But definitely wonder if we will see vocational school any more.. Do you have that in the high school In the area teaching the kids?
Bumper is well built, made right love watching your videos be blessed always 🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗
Truly amazing fabrication!!! Very good work- what a lucky guy to get this bumper!!! Bob H., N.C.
One step closer to the Landcruiser build too.
What a great dad 👌😸
Paul you are a great dad and with YT your kids will get to watch things years from now and see all of the great times you had.
Just received our new Fab Rats shirts for my wife and myself, love your channel. Keep up the great work.
Again Paul adds to my lexicon… 14:05 “Runnin’ out of ambition”. I promise, I will use that phrase today.
This truck is going to be teenager proof for sure!
You were a teenager. I was a teenager. NOTHING is teenager proof.
I too have started with box section and cut it into small bits of sheet :D - it needs an ickle pocket on the bar for a winch camera.
I love watching these fab videos. I'm a welder and I like seeing these ideas. God bless you and your family.
Tell Jace he has good taste in bikes, you better take him to Brian head peak so he can give it a thorough test
What do you do when your kids bring a cat home? The story of my life!🤣
Good job Paul. While you were working on the grill guard I was thinking "that should be taller" but you mentioned hitting an elk I think you said and I thought "oh, build it any higher it won't guard the grill!" Good stuff!
Paul as a beginner knife maker I am jealous of that belt sander .the guy that built one for my grandfather built the knives and tomahawks for the Jeremiah Johnson movie, congrats buddy
Sooner or later every TH-cam channel will transform into a cat channel.
I can call my cat from outside if I whistle better then my two dogs!
My cat is the only living thing in this house that listens. Not the dogs, Not the kid, not the wife.
Your dogs can whistle?
Paul, Nice work. Great build with your kids. Thanks for taking time with them. You guys are wonderful.
15:40 Santa Cruz, nice bike! Can't fault the kid's taste in bikes - I've got a first generation Santa Cruz Blur and I'll never get rid of it.
Cat content will increase your views. The internet runs on cat videos.
Awesome smile Jace, the seat and front bumper is looking way kewl. Now it's dad tool time fun! Great video thanks. Such a master fabber!
I really like how Paul & Michelle teach their kids the value of money. And the importance of learning a skill. I like the fact (it doesnt seem like) they hand there kids everything they want. They make em work for it! Landon is going to have a sweet old truck when this is all over. I cant wait to see the next video! God bless you guys!! Im going to try to send you one of our cd's and get a T-shirt.. I may have to slide Landon some tools too!!
This is such an awesome and aggressive bumper build!
I made a similar bumper for my 1st gen 4runner out of some 6 inch C-channel!
Also going to start using the phrase “eyecrometer” at a hot rod shop I do sheet metal work for 😂
PDR Motorsports in Milton Freewater Oregon was originally the Pipe Dr. He used a Porta-Power filled with water to pop dents out of 2 stroke expansion chambers. Gotta love the Porta Power!
Wish my pops was still around to show me awesome stuff like this :)
You should never leave your garage! People will line up from around the country to have you build off road vehicles. You are a master craftsman!!
The bumper looks fantastic Paul!!!!! Keep up the good work.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
Man, oh Man. That truck gets better & more betterer every video. Landon must be One Heck of a Good Kid !!! Like Father, Like Son.
Dude, Landon's truck rocks. My favorite body styles are 70s-80s. If I lived somewhere that wasn't smackdab in the middle of the rust belt I'd own one!
Bumper looks great. Nice work Paul. I really do enjoy watching your builds and the amount of skill you have. Gotta say, Landon’s truck is my favourite build. I love squares. Great channel and group all around.
The 3 F's......Family, Fabrication, and Fun........nice job !....enjoy the show...
I thoroughly enjoy watching this channel. You're an incredible father, excellent fabricator and overall a great human being. God Bless keep up the great work!!
That bumper will probably be here when most of us watching this have been long gone. Great job Paul, like everything else I've seen you do.
I commend you for embracing Jace's choice on the bike. Too many kids today are couch potatoes. It's good he's found a passion that keeps him physically active. I rode the wheels off many bikes in my younger years.
Loving this channel Paul! I'm getting into fabbing stuff up myself and I really appreciate how you walk us through your thought process and all the steps you take. Great looking bumper BTW!
