I met you at FabTech in Chicago a few years ago and told you I really like how you discuss the financial part of your work openly. Same goes for this one. I like realistic content. Thanks for sharing!

Love the fact how you’re always so honest and straightforward. I’m really surprised that that video didn’t do good. I thought they were awesome when I first saw that video definitely something different you don’t see and would have thought people would love it as well. But I get what you’re saying about the educational content compared to this stuff. But honestly you covered so much educational stuff there isn’t much left. I would prefer these kinda videos all day long. But regardless if it’s a new video from you it doesn’t matter what it is I’ll be watching!

Thank you. There was a ton of interest on the socials while I was building everything but it just flopped. Even this video ranks dead last as of right now (maybe it will change). Either way, I still have a bunch of old footage to compile and I appreciate you watching!

When I found your channel I was merely looking for a specific build video, I watched it then subscribed then proceeded to watch your entire library. After that I look forward for your new content cause I like your style. People that are genuine on this platform definitely get my support. Your one of those people Justin.

I love your "educational" content - but am also fascinated by design and build content - esp moving from a tooo too tiny ring to the correct size through trial and error - and seeing things like the handle bar mount 'develop'. IMO that fits seamlessly into 'educational' because you are putting the learning into a practical application. So - great to see the video, and hope it does well!

I learned a long time ago that being able to see a problem from multiple perspectives can provide a solution that you may not have found yourself. So seeing different fabrication projects outside of the norm is a bonus in my world. I was a design engineer on the largest, most complex sounding rocket payload ever flown. The manager wanted to know why I brought design problems up in the status meetings to get input from electrical, software and optical for mechanical issues. He thought I should be proposing a solution, but I told him I didn't want to "poison the water" so to speak. I wanted their ideas, no matter how far in the woods, to help me gain a different perspective. Being the smart manager that he was, he agreed. Plus we had a really good tight team.

Thanks for posting! I have been looking forward to this video. I completely understand the YT thing and what you are deal with, I also have a channel. I just had a similar talk on my last YT video to my subscribers about that exact same topic. Thanks again and I really enjoyed this video, you did a great job editing and telling a story about the process. Thanks again for your time and effort 👍😊

I actually watched that vid the other day (I see a lot of your content). You are NOT alone in this algorithm thing. There are so many of us that struggle to understand WTF is going on this time around. I've survived 3 major changes to YT in my time here and I'm convinced that YT wants a new channel for every type of video topic at this point haha. I'm at the point in my life that I just want to build stuff and have fun doing it again. If YT pays for some of it, cool. If not, at least I had fun doing it.
@Mikefestiva 4 ай бұрын
@@TheFabricatorSeries Thanks for checking out my last video 👍 Definitely right about the single topic per channel thing 😂 I think you’re right about YT at this point, I will keep making videos and bring the viewers along but I won’t be spending a lot of money making specific videos for YT content like I had in the past, for the most part I will go back to documenting my personal projects and builds. Take care 😊 PS I really like the gold pro taper bars 👍👍

i wondered what had happened to these duckies!! thank you so much for the update. indeed, at the end of the day we have to be able to make ends meet and still have sufficient time and money to enjoy our lives, friends, and families. i get the reasons behind the shelving of the project, and hopefully the "lost episodes" series will be a good one for you. these look like a blast to noodle around on. good luck with the sale! as always, excellent content, and thank you.

Bumper boats were one of my favorite rides at my local water park as a kid. Have never seen them anywhere again. Good to know someone else wants to keep them alive

Loved the video, and appreciate you being so straight forward on things like this! I think with all of your skills I'd like to see you build a quieter muffler for Polaris Rzrs and Generals, and market it. There are literally hundreds of forums of people looking for quieter than stock exhaust systems, and I think only 1 maker (HMF) makes a quiet-loop system that is less noise then stock, but its over 1k to purchase. Anyway, love the content as always, and I'm glad all of your hard work is paying off!

Wow, I really really loved this video. Cool, bumper boats man I think that would be a lucrative business. Maybe you can have these frames plasma cut and slotted and sell it as a kit even to those were learning how to weld now have a project to build other than a bunch of stuck together coupons, you wouldn’t have to stock a whole bunch of the kits just maybe three or four and sell them off. then make more as the demand forecasts

I would love to buy one of those bumper boats, but I imagine shipping it to Michigan would hardly be cost-effective. ANyway, I'm really digging the Lost Episodes; thanks EXTREMELY much for releasing them.

Should of sent the aluminum out for anodizing. Would of shaved off several pounds.
@TheFabricatorSeries 4 ай бұрын
Would have tripled the budget, too! Nobody around me does anodizing on parts this, and the epoxy is only a couple pounds added to an extra 50 pounds of acrylic floor... not gonna make a difference at the end of the day.

The “TFS Duckie” 😆 love that haha. I’m still very new to welding but when I was looking into what process I wanted to be able to use when purchasing my first welder watching your videos helped influence my choice to get a TIG welder. So I got the Primeweld TIG225X from WeldMetalsOnline. Your review was again a big help in that choice, too. So thank you for everything you do & I’ve learned a lot from your videos.

At least a fun ride at the end. No matter what you're making the camera should always zoom in on your welding, because what you take for granted is still a beautiful art to some of us, and at the same time a little more visual learning.

@Linusgump 4 ай бұрын
Your business logic is a little flawed. You put out the teaser video after building them so production cost of the boats was already sunk. The time/money invested in editing the build video is the only thing left to do after the teaser video, so the build video would have needed to recoup that to put you back where you stopped: eating the cost of the build. But, anything above the edit cost is paying back that deficit, and who knows, maybe over the life of the build video you may have broken even. But just quitting and walking away left the sunk cost sunk with no chance of recovery. If you had put out the teaser video about the idea, prior to any build or construction of the boats, then based on your lackluster response deciding not to go forward with the idea would make financial sense.
