Agree 100%. Not a fan of his personality (but I only know what’s on the web which can be suspect). I do respect his talent and always enjoy watching him fabricate.
@Nasty Habitz right about that, I hear the term 21 year old kid alot these days...wtf is that lol. JB weld, I hate that shit tho. As a mechanic for 12 yrs I've got nightmares of that shit
Always appreciated Jesse's shows where he worked his own fabrications showing the entire process' and teaching's. Don't care what anyone else thought of the guy, he seemed to never waiver from being himself when the camera's turned on, which is probably why the networks never fleshed something out with him that lasted being too afraid of someone that real and raw.
You're forgetting that he hates the cameras and fame In his autobiography, Jesse said Thom Beers from Discovery approached Jesse with the idea and name for American Chopper. Jesse said let's just do one bike. That was Motorcycle Mania. Monster Garage was Jesse's idea
"You can buy one , Looks like it was cut on a water jet but you can do it with a drill press and band saw that you can borrow from someone" . I love this guy , a true craftsman and has never gotten away from his true self . Respect man
It is great to see Jessie still laying it down the way true fabrication is done, still teaching, still explaining and is still priceless...thanks to you for loading it up for the rest of the world to see and thanks to Jessie for taking the time to show us....again it's priceless!!
I love that he has evolved from his former self, who was kind of the "genius a-hole" into a real mentor. I'd love to spend a weekend in his shop and just learn whatever I could.
Yeah I think he resented fame to some degree. Dude just wanted to make stuff and be left h alone. Discovery found him and rode him until he just kind of snapped. Never will forgot how sad he looked being in the stage with the Tuetells from OCC - he was genuinely pissed in that moment that he allowed himself to be sucked into that. Just my opinion. Certainly seems to be happy at home in his shop, alone, and building whatever he wants. Mad respect for this guy.
@@davidstemm9059 cry me a river...he made those choices...he signed the contracts...went on to the monster garage thing...etc....just the occ thing....the old man crashed and burn
I've been an autobody painter and collision technician for over 30 years. I've designed and built my own turbo charger systems , designed my own wrecker boom, and many other tools and equipment. Jesse James AWS me every time I watch him. He is absolutely the best of the best in everything he does and puts his mind to. God bless you Jesse James
It's incredible how much knowledge is in his head. I wish there was just a series just like this off him building and showing us his knowledge on everything
Yep awesome I have used these tricks made shit from nothing when I needed it, like he said with a drill. I have used a hand drill held to a table with clamps and a vise. Then a freaking belt sander to smooth it out. It’s definitely not the best way but it can be done you have the will there is always a way. Good shit agreed I could watch him make things all day very inspiring. There is definitely some to be said working with your hands.
I've been a fan of his since I saw the first special on Discovery Channel years ago. For all his exploits, fanfare, ups and downs, etc. over the years my favorite thing to watch him do is teach somebody how to make something exactly like he's doing here. Not just "Hey check out how awesome I am at fabrication!!" He shows you how to do it. Gives you tips and tricks. A master of his craft truly at his best when he is teaching.
Love watching you get after it! I miss monster garage. I ride, own a boat, and work on my diesel truck! Work my magic out of my garage with simple tools. I'm 68 and still learning stuff. Great video!✌😎
Jessie is one of the hardest working talented people I’ve ever seen... if more people had his work ethic and passion they’d be more successful in whatever it is they do... lots to admire and respect about the man
Great seeing him again in action. This reminded me of Norm Abram in his New Yankee Workshop, with all the machines he uses to make a project. Still, all this can be done with what you have; it just takes patience and a passion to do it right. Great lessons there from a master of the trade.
This is awesome man I worked a sheet metal shop for a while and watching the pattern layout brought back alot of memories shears brakes punches presses the band saw the cremping machine and the slip lock for making tubes now the shop I worked in is all digital I sure do miss making whatever someone needed I know for alot of people this is a learning video for me it's a trip down memory lane
This guy is awesome. Back in 2004 or 2005, while stationed in california we did a trip to some forts around the huntington beach area. We decided to go in uniform, so we could do it during work hours. Our platoon sergeant was familiar with the area, and wanted to show us Jessie’s shop. We were creeping aound the parking lot, and he came out and saw us. This guy loves Soldiers. He “kidnapped” us for the rest of the day. He kicked out a filming crew from the shop and took us all over the place. I was just getting started on welding and fabrication, so of course i wanted his authograph. So i asked him to sign my army hat, and he refused. He went to his welding station and grabbed his miller helmet, the one with the american flag on it(the one he used during Monster Garage), signed it and gave it to me. I still have that helmet in my shop. He got us food and we just hung out for the rest of the day.
Would love to meet this dude one day, been a idol since I was 10. He is a raw guy with a sharp vision and the will to back his ass up. Rare breed, great work Jesse.
I could watch him work everyday. Whenever I feel like quitting or giving up I try to think about his story and usually I quit acting like a chicken shit. Not everyone thats made it has had it easy. Gives me hope I guess.
I’m an apprentice machinist and when I start feeling frustrated with my progress I watch stuff like this or other great craftsman and listen to their stories and most of the time they’ve been at it for 2-3 decades and that it takes time to become great.
What did I learn? I need more power tools. In all seriousness I learned how to do a lot of fabricating by watching Jesse and others and one thing I learned that was the most valuable was figuring out ways to do things with what ever tools you have. Thanks Jesse.
Even with a full blown shop outfitted to the hilt, you show anyone that they can do this with borrowed tools, easy to come by, cheaper tools and some ingenuity ! Keeping real......That's a true hot rodder.
You have to appreciate the attention to detail he takes into consideration. The machines used are also very interesting; no better gratitude then making a lot of your parts and not outsourcing them. Definitely a leader in the industry.👍🏻
I watched Jesse as a young kid. Now at 32, I make and fix practically everything within reason. My day job is a machinist, but at home I don't have fancy machines, I do tons of handwork and finishing, it's often hard and takes a long tine, but I do it. Why? Easy...it gives me purpose and a sense of accomplishment. Something that means more than money, something that's important, and something many people are missing now days. So take time to turn off the TV, turn on the radio, and work with your hands. Not because it makes money, but because it's vital to living a happy and productive life. Thanks Jesse for turning me onto this path at a young age. I'm grateful for it.
The most talented and visionary person in the business! I can watch this guy make the most rudimentary items as his finish product is the quality of fine jewelry ! 💎
Just the way he talks and explains things I get it better than any teacher I have ever heard in my life and I know he’s not even trying he’s just talking like he normally talks a true legend🤘🏻🤘🏻
The Japanese factories are a whole different story ! Best bikes in the world ! Put a Yamaha R1 against Jesse's garage projects. The only thing that Jesse beats the sport bikes at is price ! 😄 Pfft ! Jesse can keep his grossly overpriced underperforming projects.
I have to say I inspired jesse work and follow him around since I was 12yrs old I knew him when he was living with his mom in long beach where I grew up at..he lived on los coyotes and carson behind the golf course.i would ride my bike down the neighborhood and see him working on his bikes I would stop wave and say hi to him everyday...I live in Texas now like to take a trip to Austin and visit and say what's up..
Jessie im always amazed at how your skills you can't get from a book its hands on what a shame the schools can't get the funds to have metal working classes I'm a 57 years old I would have jumped at the chance to take a course to learn the trade that you mastered and inspire so many people watching you Thanks I always enjoy watching you do your thing keep rocking it I'm one of your biggest fans take care and you and your family stay safe
I've made many miscellaneous tabs, brackets, and flanges over the years using simple tools like Jessie showed in this video..... and still do today. Great video! 👍
I've always done my own fabrication with the machines I have in my welding shop. The piranha iron worker is amazing for fabrication. We're not precision machine shop either and we've built alot of really cool projects.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience while relating it to how we can do this at home. Exactly why you’re the legend you’ve become. Thanks!! Tony V in the “OC”
Looks like he's matured in the last 20 years I've watched him for a long time how's the kid I I went 2 Sturgis and 2002 because of him and the other builders that was on TV but it was him and his fabricating skills really intrigued me thanks Jesse
Fabrication is a combination of the mind, the hands, and the time one is willing to sacrifice. One of the best to do it. It’s about learning. It’s about details. It’s about pride. God knows he put men like this on earth for a reason. God bless everyone.
I work right by Austin Speed Shop. One day I'm riding my motorcycle to work. I stop at a light, and a chopper pulls next to me. I look over, and there's Jesse. First time I've seen him in the wild. I give a little wave, and he points to my bike and gives me a thumb's up. Now, I'm on a pretty pedestrian Vstrom but he's nice enough to say "Hey, like your wheels". Cool guy. And, very talented. They do cool work there, seen a lot of wheels rolling out.
25 plus years later and he's still gets a kick out of making a flange, thats true passion.

Josh Skalicky it’s what makes him great.
So true!
That’s how I feel about ⚽️. Good thing for bikes tho cause no way I’m getting paid to play anymore.
Josh Skalicky when you love what you do. You never work a day in your life.
Whether you like the guy or not, at least have the integrity to respect his craftsmanship because it is unmatched. Respect to this dude.

Way too much praise, I can do more with alot less tools and do daily,I don't need a youtube channel to brag about my skills.
@@johnrivers8617 how many rads have you repaired?
He’s at his best when he’s alone and fabricating....
He’s the alchemist of metal, a true throw back to when you had to know different things to make it.
Aren’t we all
He admitted that multiple times on his shows. Wanted to be left alone to just work!

Never gets old watching him work or listening to him explain how he work
This part could be fiber cut in seconds, but it's so refreshing to see a craftsman using his skill. Definitely an artist
Jesse is one of the best fabricators I have ever seen in my lifetime. Love that Guy!!!

He came back and grounded himself. Not a Hollywood star, realized he had to go back to his roots. Because that's what he's meant to do

Never get over how much jesse knows,keep makin cool shit bro you're badass 🤘
The power of youtube. I can learn from an expert while sitting in my living room. I love it. Thank you Jesse for sharing your years of knowledge
It's incredible how much knowledge is in his head. I wish there was just a series just like this off him building and showing us his knowledge on everything
Jesse could have a show every week and teach us how to fabricate!
It’s be great
Considering how badly I want to be able to fabricate half as well as him I'd watch it

From one Jesse to another,..thank you for your beautiful time!! You rock!!🦾

One of the best parts of my childhood was watching the various shows Jesse did. God knows I learned soooo much. Such a legend too me.
I prefer the fact that you make your parts...all your parts. It is what sets you above all the rest Jesse. God Bless Brother !
A true craftsman. A rare art. Giving back to the community.
Even with a full blown shop outfitted to the hilt, you show anyone that they can do this with borrowed tools, easy to come by, cheaper tools and some ingenuity ! Keeping real......That's a true hot rodder.
It's sure nice seeing another guy who can do anything .. work and explain his process so everyone will get encouragement to try it themselves
I like Jesse, glad he got sober, wishing him well in the future.
Jesse is amazing this video is awesome because he shows the way to make it quick and easy never get tired of watching him make stuff
I don't care what people say about this guy, he is one of the best around at what he does. Much respect for him.
Id give anything to learn from him. He is an absolute metal genius
DITTO
I learned more from him in 10:32 than I have in 10 years trying to learn on my own
Its like anything else, tools and knowing how to use them.
good dude, "learn by doing"-when i have fear about a challenge, Jesse's words come through👍

i work in Oak and used the circle template just this morning. i like your work Jesse.
Love the VMAX in the back lol
I loved them small shops where I started my career man we used to do everything by hand like this
Used a similar technique, but using grinders with sanding wheels and cut off wheels to make a fuel pump block off plate
I love it! " just do one prefect scratch and leave it at that" lol thats just 👌
Thanks for the lesson/will tune in your next class teach✊🏽🙏🏽
