It would be awesome to just be there to watch Jesse work…the talent he has is on another level. Forget the fame, forget the name, just the thought process behind his craft.
This is my preferred way to make stuff, but you can't be competitive in price because people with plasma tables can make those flanges in about 3 minutes, click save, and have the pattern forever. And can just as quickly make 300 of them.
After being in cnc lathe just over 30 years in Southern California for aero space that work would be a nice challenge for me. I appreciate your ethics and vision Jesse.
100% true . no matter what use metal behind ANY piece you are drilling next to a tire. i blasted thru a brand new rear tire on the 4th of july houors before the parade and our ride, im fabricaing up until the last minute, just built a L-bracket for my brake lights and im drilling thru my cut off fender strut......i drill one hole...perfect ...i start drilling next hole and three of my buddies roll up on their bikes, one starts walking up as im drilling and i look at him for a split second......and blow thru, straight into my tire...... thanks jesse james for the tip. just wish i would have used it before the new tire
AWESOME LOVE SEEING VIDEOS LIKE THIS A MASTER TEACHING ARE YOUTH A WONDER FUL CRAFT THANK YOU JESSE THIS SHOWS WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE PASS YOUR GIFTS ON.
Toujours au niveau des moments où tu es en extase de voir une performance qui te fait penser que tu es là pour dire à tes enfants que tu as vécu un moment historique 😊
I just watched some other video where chopper styles were being compared and the narrator said that Jesse was the only builder that could totally nail a fender perfectly accurately.......
Jesse James is one of the best bike builders and car builders I've ever seen I've learned a lot from him when he had his shows I watched them religiously and got really jealous when he got cat is his old lady cuz I've always been in love with the cat But I have met Jesse James when he had his bike shop I know that he never will remember me but I'll never forget how he helped me when I was having a problem with my bike and just needed a couple tools to fix it and he fixed it for me he's only man that I've ever let work on any of my bikes or come near my bikes with a tool
Like, I like watching his work. But I like know several guys that I've worked with or are friends with that do this at home in small garages. And produce top quality work
He's says he eliminated everything that was a distraction, like a babe wife, a TV show, a thousand customers that don't want anything to do with him because of his vanity and selfishness, now he can concentrate on what he wants to do, just like always.
Growing up my neighbor and I would build all sorts of projects but my specialty was getting as much performance out of small engines, I could get a Briggs to run like a race motor and scream
All to end up with a 50K flat timing cover Shovelhead that ya gotta make your own parts for when it vibrates apart. That's how Jammer , custom chrome and 50 other " manufacture's" started and ended. They just weren't as expensive.
You did a great job at retooling yourself. you always know what you are, the core always remains. a lot of things can get added along the way, but eventually you find yourself stripping away those things that are not part of the core of your being. and you often know what those will be, even as they are added through the years. yet they can fall away with the greatest of ease, bringing you back to core values and experiences that you came here to have. You don't need to reinvent something that is already perfectly in place, you just have to expose it again.
Nice to see a comment section talking about Jesse’s skills… instead of his ex-wife 🤣🤣. I’ve ridden one of his El Diablo bikes and it was insane! All the detail was in the craftsmanship of course. 👍🏻
Jesse James the true American Craftsman. Unlike Paul Junior where he is assembling bikes and slapping a bunch of shit on and calling it a "motorcycle". Keep it up Jesse!
Mr. James is a master at designing and making cars and bikes. But I have seen to many clips of him ranting about getting paid and how much his bikes get sold for. I watched a clip of him ranting at those guys in that speed shop when he bought into the shop. Only speaking for myself. I do not care how good he is I would give him the finger. I would rather ride a piece of shiit Honda then give him any of my money.
You can pick up an electric swivel head shear at harbor freight for about 50 bucks. They'll only cut up to 14 ga mild steel, but I've had mine for 5 years. Bought them for one project, and they've continued on working. I've used them to cut a lot of 16 ga square tube into tracks and angles. The one in this video definitely looked higher quality. You can also get an adapter that works on a drill to accomplish the same thing. Check Amazon for dewalt shear attachment.
Hand fabrication is a dying art form. If you want to be a starving artist, this is the way to go. I wish America could produce bikes for the masses and get more people on the road.
Go to a swap meet,.......find an old fender,.......and give the dude his bike. Master fabricator,..........more like master shop time charged fuck'n around. Capitalism is a wonderful thing. Ceskoslovenska.
I am so jealous of these kids its not even funny. Old school is better in so many ways, but I still like new school for power and bla bla bla. I watched this video a long time ago, it was like a four part series i think. Glad to watch it again.
Master fabricator my ass. You had a reality show with the same gas tank/frame/and a fat tire like everyone else. Let's see ya change out an engine in someones driveway? You did tag Sandra Bullock,........I give ya that.
Started working in fab shops 50 years ago, love the smell, the process and the art...nice to see young people learning the trade. Good job Jessie!
Any advice for late starters?
@@lospaisasoriginal5454 Learn everything you can and open your mind to the possibilities of working with metal. And keep a lot of band aids nearby :)
hews no longer young lol
I went to his classes back in 2003 now im a professional motorcycle builder and i own my shop.
JESSIE JAMES
NO DOUBT A GREAT CRAFTSMAN AND BUILDER.
HE IS A GREAT INSTRUCTOR AS WELL BECAUSE HE LOVES HIS WORK. ❤
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO ❤❤❤❤
Nice to see a non hype view of Jesse James. The man is a hell of a builder.
Jesse is a true craftsman. It’s nice to see him passing on his skills to people that want to learn.
All these years later and Jessie is still my favorite fab artist. Glad to see him still at it.
It would be awesome to just be there to watch Jesse work…the talent he has is on another level. Forget the fame, forget the name, just the thought process behind his craft.
This is my preferred way to make stuff, but you can't be competitive in price because people with plasma tables can make those flanges in about 3 minutes, click save, and have the pattern forever. And can just as quickly make 300 of them.
I would give anything just to work side by side with this guy for a week or so.
I have nothing but respect for him and his knowledge.
Nice to see jesse still keepin it old school and teachin young cats how to use those old tools!!
Right on!!! Miss watching jesse fabricate! Absolutely love it!!
After being in cnc lathe just over 30 years in Southern California for aero space that work would be a nice challenge for me.
I appreciate your ethics and vision Jesse.
Priceless Knowledge , Work and Life Ethics .
I think I seen all his shows 3 times over ! And his bikes are #1
People never said he was not good at what he does
He has really let a lot of people down
He caused a lot of pain in all of his relationships
Waaaaa
The craftsmanship speaks it loud on its own.
100% true . no matter what use metal behind ANY piece you are drilling next to a tire. i blasted thru a brand new rear tire on the 4th of july houors before the parade and our ride, im fabricaing up until the last minute, just built a L-bracket for my brake lights and im drilling thru my cut off fender strut......i drill one hole...perfect ...i start drilling next hole and three of my buddies roll up on their bikes, one starts walking up as im drilling and i look at him for a split second......and blow thru, straight into my tire......
thanks jesse james for the tip. just wish i would have used it before the new tire
The Best Of The Best Jesse James 🤙
I envy Magic. The opportunity to learn "at the knee" of a master fabricator would have saved me years and my work would be even better!
Jesse is a brilliant artist. 👍
Great man , keep on keeping on JESSE !
If I could only AFFORD one of these MASTERPIECES..
AWESOME LOVE SEEING VIDEOS LIKE THIS A MASTER TEACHING ARE YOUTH A WONDER FUL CRAFT THANK YOU JESSE THIS SHOWS WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE PASS YOUR GIFTS ON.

Jessee ... since you left LA area haven't seen your vid's ... Good to have found your work again!
Toujours au niveau des moments où tu es en extase de voir une performance qui te fait penser que tu es là pour dire à tes enfants que tu as vécu un moment historique 😊
I just watched some other video where chopper styles were being compared and the narrator said that Jesse was the only builder that could totally nail a fender perfectly accurately.......
Awesome teaching the next generation !

Jesse James is one of the best bike builders and car builders I've ever seen I've learned a lot from him when he had his shows I watched them religiously and got really jealous when he got cat is his old lady cuz I've always been in love with the cat
But I have met Jesse James when he had his bike shop I know that he never will remember me but I'll never forget how he helped me when I was having a problem with my bike and just needed a couple tools to fix it and he fixed it for me he's only man that I've ever let work on any of my bikes or come near my bikes with a tool
The master is back
By no means am I a fabricator.. But I made a few things for bikes in my day.. Jesse James makes bikes you can ride. That's where he's different..
Like, I like watching his work. But I like know several guys that I've worked with or are friends with that do this at home in small garages. And produce top quality work
what he's doing is not magic. it can take years to get there but if you want to do it you can as well.
Passing the torch.
I can’t wait to go back to vinyl and vhs…
Iv sat on and started that knuckle head in Matt Jacksons garage in Austin. Jackson Choppers!
J.J. is a true talent....!
He's says he eliminated everything that was a distraction, like a babe wife, a TV show, a thousand customers that don't want anything to do with him because of his vanity and selfishness, now he can concentrate on what he wants to do, just like always.
He has beat up 2 girls.he is a pos
That's real builder.
Growing up my neighbor and I would build all sorts of projects but my specialty was getting as much performance out of small engines, I could get a Briggs to run like a race motor and scream

That boy is paying attention, as he should. I’d have a pencil and a notepad out goin’ off.
Quality friend do not let it be lost.......
You did a great job at retooling yourself. you always know what you are, the core always remains. a lot of things can get added along the way, but eventually you find yourself stripping away those things that are not part of the core of your being. and you often know what those will be, even as they are added through the years. yet they can fall away with the greatest of ease, bringing you back to core values and experiences that you came here to have.

The kid will go far, he's already talking like Jesse
Love and Respect for all you do
Cool artist w the iron. Jesse made A pistol vert nice I heard.
Does anyone remember that water cooled engine from the 30s or 40s that Jesse worked on? I wonder if he ever got that running .
Nice to see a comment section talking about Jesse’s skills… instead of his ex-wife 🤣🤣. I’ve ridden one of his El Diablo bikes and it was insane! All the detail was in the craftsmanship of course. 👍🏻
How do I get into this… 2 years later
True fabricator!
Jesse is still a down to earth hard working cool guy .
Does West Coast chopper still exist?
Has Jesse got an official channel on here….
You know when his tongue comes out these having a good time...
How do I get a hold of jessey james

Jesse James the true American Craftsman. Unlike Paul Junior where he is assembling bikes and slapping a bunch of shit on and calling it a "motorcycle". Keep it up Jesse!
spot on, i can honestly say every bike OC built was shite
Jesse is looking well...I must have watched Motorcycle Mania 4 History of the Chopper a hundred times
I like it

Jesse is one of the best motorcycle and car builders in the world! Craftsmanship in metal is master's level.
Moved to Texas, and still wants longbeach to support him? 😂😂😂😂 lets go ask everyone in los Angeles what a sail out is?
If there was one person I could just download there talents and skill, Jesse would be that person!
A ton of work in these beautiful machines.
What's the tool called that you cut the fender in half?
It's an electric nibbler or shear.
You can pick up an electric swivel head shear at harbor freight for about 50 bucks. They'll only cut up to 14 ga mild steel, but I've had mine for 5 years. Bought them for one project, and they've continued on working. I've used them to cut a lot of 16 ga square tube into tracks and angles. The one in this video definitely looked higher quality. You can also get an adapter that works on a drill to accomplish the same thing. Check Amazon for dewalt shear attachment.
I Realy like Jesse he’s actually a decent man that loves poeple and his hot rods and motorcycles 🏍. ✊

Hand fabrication is a dying art form. If you want to be a starving artist, this is the way to go. I wish America could produce bikes for the masses and get more people on the road.

Go to a swap meet,.......find an old fender,.......and give the dude his bike.

Capitalism is a wonderful thing.
Ceskoslovenska.
Is that a car tire on that bike?
I am so jealous of these kids its not even funny. Old school is better in so many ways, but I still like new school for power and bla bla bla.
I watched this video a long time ago, it was like a four part series i think. Glad to watch it again.
Tops ace
