A while back you made a video designing a control arm and glossed over how you chose the material thickness. How you knew what would be strong enough for the part not to fail. You said it was boring and might make a video if we wanted it. WE DO! I feel like that is one of the most critical things missing in my ability to sell great parts that I know won't kill someone. Would love to see a video explaining your process!

CONGRATULATIONS on your success and growth.

Doesn't matter too much it is not finished, showing us your processes is the gold that's important. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience.

Keep em coming Justin, finished or not, polished or not, i love seeing the process you go through with designing parts and fabrication

Glad you’re growing. I do miss the old videos though, so this was great.

Out of 632,000 subscribers, I'm sure at least 1 or 2 of those people would love to take some of your work load. And be more than qualified to do so. As a side note, I could've ordered my Primeweld 225x from anywhere else, but I chose do go through weldmetals. You've done a lot and I'm happy to support.

I don't watch for production quality. I watch for knowledge drops. 😅 This was great.

The DeETS video series would be awesome to continue. The concept to make something to eventually sell is exactly what I want to do. I’d like to see a more detailed video with your thought process while drafting; maybe a voice over or a dedicated video for cad. I have used solidworks for a few years but like getting a different perspective when it comes to design

If I remember correctly I found this channel long ago when I was looking to improve my notching skills. I was using a notcher but my cage design puts multiple tubes coming in to single points. I liked this style videos better than the welding stuff now. But I've learned more from the welding stuff!

My dude just continues to grow….could not have happened to a better dude..!! Thanks for your years of dedication to both fabricating greats products and great educational videos…!! You have made YT better..!!

I was excited to see you released this and thought it was great, Justin! I’ve enjoyed watching all of your videos because you’ve got a knack for teaching. Learned a lot. Your years of experience and enthusiasm set you apart from a lot of other welding / fabrication content. Keep em comin!

It’s cool that your saying what happened I was wondering why nothing had come of the series but I like the content you put out and how you go about it I always get excited when a new video comes out

Love the format and content!

I love the idea. I've been watching since you were in your home garage and I miss the building things from scratch.

We'll never be able to thank your efforts enough. Don't pay attention to what YT says "it works". Most of your followers are entertained by your skill and talent, not by camera angles and "pro looking videography". Keep on keeping on! and thanks!

Thanks for continuing to produce some really informative content despite being insanely busy!

Great as always

Thanks Justin for all of your input to make us better at TIG and various fabrication . I've learned a lot from you brother . :)

Great episode!

I really like the raw feeling of episodes like this, so i vote for more 👍

Love the content. Thank you for releasing it.

I like all of the content. I've learned a lot of knowledge from watching your channel and Jody's channel. While I'll never turn down content with more welding education. I do like more content with fabrication included. As always, thank you for the content you bring!

I enjoyed this video, and always enjoy watching you build parts like this. I learn a lot from you explaining your thought processes in designing and building parts. Big thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.

My favorite video series you started but I think ended up not pursuing was the one where you set up in the corner of your garage with a budget setup and were aiming to teach literally guys like me with a small budget, little time, and small space. I bought a tig 225x like 8 months ago and have yet to even turn it on.

No rush Justin, take care of you and don't burn yourself out! Your videos have taught me a lot about fabrication and I would rather a good gold nugget of info and learning every now and then then have you burn out and not have those bits of knowledge you provide to the community!

Always get something from your vids Justin, even these director cuts are valuable. Thanks for putting them up.

I like this kind of topic for videos. The lessons learned along the way and considerations that you make/have are valuable to learn.

Absolutely loved you showing those tricks in the beginning on how to create the negative of the part, as a backyard mechanic with both a mig and tig, I loved it! GREAT stuff! Would love to see more content on the jig manufacturing for tubular products!

I enjoy these videos. The builds. The designing. That's the stuff I do. Kinda a throwback to when I first started watching your videos. Keep it up! Love it all.

So good to see you back behind the camera!

to be honest even if the video wasn't finished and never came to some conclusion, its not like it didn't have valuable info in it. even without commentary seeing the process is nice, and does sprout ideas on how I or anyone else could do something. I've been watching you for 3 years now and actually started watching your videos when I started tig welding, and they've helped a lot. So keep up the good work!

Doing great brother. Definitely made your dreams come true. Hope to get there one day sooner than later.

My fav weldng channel on the youtube, nice to see a new video (you even have safety guards on your grinders!!!!)

Integrity. That sums up you. I appreciate the style and speed of the presentations. Hit the ground running. Try and keep up. All that said. If you are young and the algorithm sent you here. There are some extremely important take aways. Integrity. Speed of jobs. Justin is not any faster than his competitors. He is as fast. The real world is highly competitive. It moves fast. Speed comes with experience. It's always best. Always best to master a level of competence before speed. Fast and sloppy doesn't get paid. Justine mentions keeping track of the time spent on every facet of the job. More than once he mentions keeping track of time. Each part of the job requires different skills and tools. Not all of those bill out at the same rate. Some skills bill higher. Some bill lower. It's important to keep track of your time for every step. Also a customer will greatly appreciate knowing exactly what they are paying for and why. Lastly. Manufacturing is come back to the US. They stopped teaching shop in many school districts. Blue collars workers are now and definitely in future in demand. You're in high school. No shop classes. Search out various blue collar businesses near you. A welding shop,machine shop. Injection molding,auto repair, plumbing, hvac,electrical so and so forth. See if you can get a job sweeping floors after school. Be diligent. Show up on time or 15 minutes early is even better. Work hard. Don't be a smart ass. You are not so much interested in that particular business as you are in getting your feet wet so to say. Learn and move on.

Excellent job,as usual 👏👏👏👏

Congrats and good luck on your continued success. Hopefully you can find time for more content like this. Always enjoyed these videos and learned a lot from them

I'm eagerly awaiting more content from you. I've been welding an intake manifold to modify it recently. Your videos helped get me started for sure. keep up the good work.

Like the idea of this. Definitely keep makin them.

I know your to busy but thank you for still taking the time to make a video for us,

Great footage! Justin, Keep up the great work you inspire me to fulfill my dream everyday and you got me into tig welding just about anything inside of one your of practice and listening tou you channel it simply great to have you buddy ! Keep up

I've been missing these series videos from you :) don't get me wrong I'm thrilled that you're doing great and constantly growing you company, but good god I love these fab videos to grab inspiration and knowledge from!

I love behind the scenes stuff this is excellent.

Def want more of this content!

That was fun. Glad your growing !!

Excellent series!

great video as always, thanks

Love the fab videos!! Keep these going!!!

I got lost in watching the fan I forgot it was a lost footage video. I was disappointed to not see it be completed, but I understand your predicament. You need to weld up some clones of yourself so you can do all of these cool ideas simultaneously. 😁

Fabrication welding is the best! 😁🤩

Definitely admire your attention to detail, I always enjoy your content. Even after you refused to do my weld repair you still have my support.

Good video on how to make a simple jig. i recently made my first ever jig for some control arms, and think I picked up a couple good points ftom this video too. Keep them coming, I assume I' m not the onlyone finding your videos entertaining and useful

Man, keep these coming

I love the series 👍

I really liked this one. Thanks! Do what you gotta do!

Yeh mate love any welding/fabrication content.. cheers

Been a huge fan of the channel for years and definitely helped when I was still new to welding / fabricating! I’m excited to see more from your channels especially the bumper boat build! Ahaha now I’m off to buy more from Weld metals online!

I am down for a "Lost Episodes" series.

I love all your content

Great vid congrats and good luck

Very cool! I would really like to see more when you can find time and space to pump them out!

I enjoy this.

I've learned so much from you! Thank you from a newbee 70yr old tig guy.

I enjoyed the video very much anything that's is business and welding related is great I really appreciate the video and also I sound like your doing well business wise and I'm really glad you are weld metals online is a great place fore to get practice metals, I enjoy supporting small American business keep grinding brother hopefully I can get out to Vagas for a class .🙏🏻

I came to the Fabrication Series because of the "Fabrication" so if thats what your doing, fine.

Dude come a long way since nicks house. Love seeing what you have done over the last I dont Remember the amount of years. Lol

❤ Realy love your video ❤️

Good video 👌🏻

This was great! I was surprised to see you bust out the MIG when you made the negative jig. Can't remember the last time I saw that! lol

I always enjoy your videos ,I like making metal thing

Dets would be super series

I like the content

Do this stuff more. Film with five go pros. Was looking forward to your car build too.

Like your videos, thank you!

I honestly likedthis channel more when the footage was you in the garage with a manual bender going over the details. Where th quality content was first over the videoography

I would like to see what cad programs you use especially the free ones

Dude, you’re fucking awsome I have followed you for a long time and I’ve learned a ton. Thank you for your content‼️🤙

Like it.

Way, way, way back, your intro had a Honda civic with custom aluminum aero/body work done to it. Not sure if that was an actual episode, but I’d love to see it if it is

Ha Justin what a problem to have business expanding so fast you run out of room I think allot of people would love to have that problem LOL I like all the videos keep them coming.

As always, I love the content. On the design of this cross member though, I am wondering if you took into account the thickness of the original cross member tabs, when choosing the new cross member tabs thickness. My thought on it is, the height of the bush, is referenced from your "ground" plane of the fixture base. From there, the bottom of the tabs that bolt to the car is referenced from the "ground plane" however, the important dimension from my thoughts, is actually from the planes where the end tabs touch the vehicle, to the height of the bolt hole for the bush. In the end for example, in your fixture if you swap from a 1/4" tab thickness, to 1/2" tab thickness, then from the fixed point on the car where those tabs bolt to, the area that bolts the bush on theoretically is pulled down by that 1/4". Do you think in hind sight it might be better to mount the part to the fixture "upside down" that way the height of the bush and bright of the mounting surface come from the same plane, and changing thickness wouldn't matter as much?

Like it, like it a lot :-)

Hi bro greatings from NZ... What are your thoughts on Fireball tools products... I am thinking of getting a small fixture table and clamp system from Fireball

Hey Justin, still love the TFS series (and all of your other ventures!) You single handedly taught me how to TIG, and for that matter MIG weld. I really liked the content in this video, but was wondering if you have any tips / tricks on designing something from scratch. IE I'd like to build a front bumper for a 2019 Polaris Rzr that can bolt up to the machine, and house a winch. I have a lot of tools, but don't have a tube bender. I know I can just go buy something on the market, but would like to take a stab at building/designing one, so any tips/tricks you have for fabricating something from scratch would be sweet!

Another great video Justin!! I'm curious...what software is it that you used to design the part? I'd like to be able to do that, and take it to the weld table to make parts. Looks to be very helpful. Like you said, it beats the old protractor, and graph paper! Thanks!!

i assume you run FEA's on these particular parts that you make too right?

Happy to see you growing but Im callin BS on your home garage "situation". You started a series on how to earn from your home, stuff in the garage is part of that. Continue that series and show how you can work out of a garage space you are using. Also, glad to see you have some videos coming out.

I wish you would show how to build them bumper boat

Amazing video thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Love the way your mind works. Only just one criticism is that you definitely need to make time for yourself away from all this. Thanks again take care of yourself

I'll come be a videographer.

What ever happened to the mini truck build?

This was a very informative and interesting video. But let me ask a very naive and possibly stupid question. The only thing that seemed to be wrong with the piece that came off the car, was the broken to pieces bushing. Couldn’t you have just cut the one mount of the original and fabricate the new bushing mount and weld it back on where the original came off? That would have been a very boring video, but you might have gotten the job done much faster. Or was there too much rust on the original piece?

if i was a betting man id say that's a cross member on a g20 p11

Do you always have your safety goggles on?

Hell, I actually prefer the less polished videos. Less polish time means more video time to see.

BOOO This video SUCKED. No im totally joking! Keep up the fantastic work, just dont burn yourself out. Always love the content

A Skitch,? Skitch? What? Huh? Don’t yah need a million dollar computer to do the thinking for yah?

Need a new blade???? Weld it.

Sheet metal thing. This is Joe Biden speak for something he cannot describe quickly. You know, the thing.

Actually I'm more of a fan of the less polished videos. The idea that you need to hire a crew to film your video is a far cry from where KZfaq started. Simple good, complicated bad. Always been my design philosophy and I've put a bunch of experiment hardware on the ISS. Oh yeah, I watch videos of people I like too. There's your rambling comment of the day.

Hell yeah Justin Business growth is a good thing an personal projects gotta be put on the back burner sometimes to keep up with what's going onat the moment but yeah keep the videos coming
