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!

@@TheFabricatorSeries what a lazy, condescending response. You could very easily give us a how to for dummies or break it down into laymans terms. You don't need to teach us, or condescend someone, just explain your reasoning for choosing the material thickness.

@HeresMinx Nooooo... I can't. There's no such thing as taking Part A and plugging it into Part B and making Assembly X that works for everything because some random guy on the internet told you it would work. If you don't believe me - go to school. You'll understand. If you want to get mad - go to school and learn how to prove me wrong. Just go to school and learn something.

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.

CONGRATULATIONS on your success and growth.

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

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

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

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..!!

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!

And ironically I'll be designing a couple motor mounts and a cross member tomorrow morning. For a 35 Plymouth coupe.

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

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

Love the format and content!

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

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

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

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 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.

I love behind the scenes stuff this is excellent.

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

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

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. 😁

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

So good to see you back behind the camera!

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.

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

Love the content. Thank you for releasing it.

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.

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!

Excellent job,as usual 👏👏👏👏

Great episode!

Great as always

That was fun. Glad your growing !!

Like the idea of this. Definitely keep makin them.

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!

Fabrication welding is the best! 😁🤩

great video as always, thanks

Def want more of this content!

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

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

Excellent series!

Man, keep these coming

Yeh mate love any welding/fabrication content.. cheers

I love the series 👍

I am down for a "Lost Episodes" series.

Great vid congrats and good luck

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 .🙏🏻

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

@TheFabricationSeriess is something truly given away or has this message been a spam?

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

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?

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!

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

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

❤ Realy love your video ❤️

I enjoy this.

Good video 👌🏻

I once built from scratch a self loading wheel lift tow truck. Installed it on a Ford cab and chassis. Installed and fitted all hydraulics and wiring ,moved fuel tank from rear of truck between frame to on top of frame just behind the cab. I fitted joy sticks in cab so I didn't have to get out of cab to grab towed vehicle I was quite proud of that truck.

Dets would be super series

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

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

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!!

Like your videos, thank you!

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.

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 like the content

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

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, like it a lot :-)

Like it.

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?

What ever happened to the mini truck build?

Do you always have your safety goggles on?

I wish you would show how to build them bumper boat

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'll come be a videographer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Need a new blade???? Weld it.

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 KZread 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
