Well I’ve just binge watched half of your videos in the last 24hrs after stumbling across your channel. You do a magnificent job. Also as a welder of 28 years myself I can say that your fabrication skills are first class. Keep up the awesome work 👌🏻
Definitely will be watching out for a part II.
Excellent work! Please make a part 2 if you have time.
Awesome content 💪😁

Yuchol! Thanks man, I hope you're doing well.
You are a Rockstar!! You are to metal fabrication what Eric Clapton is to his guitar and music! Your wife’s videography is just as excellent! Please keep these videos coining. Thank you Sir!
Nice Job, I most definitely want to see part 2. Thanks.
Initially laughed at the handcuffs, a few moments later realized they're justified. Thanks for putting this video together, impressive work.

Ya, I Googled the price lol
Looks amazing. I wish you posted more. I always look forward to your new vids. It’s hard being a one dude show when you’re such a perfectionist! Those metabo weld shavers and bevelers are crazy pricey but so nice.
No tradesperson is “just a welder” you are a craftsperson. Be proud and feel free to boast. You have earned it.
Beautiful country! Awesome work and fabrication! Awesomeness all around
When the architect says: "Just make it look like this!" And, you did. amazing job!
How impressive. You’re so clever. In Australia all swimming pools have to have a 1,200mm high unclimbable fence and we chose glass panels for a short section for an uninterrupted view but our 1,200mm x 1,200mm glass panels have no vertical rail to hold them up, they’re all supported by two spigots dynabolted into a concrete footing. A set up like this for the house owners would have saved you a lot of work.
You're not "just" the welder! You are The Great Welder to make this project possible 😎👏 I just can literally feel quality and rigidity of whole structure through the screen)
Everything is perfect...the music is great
Started watching part 2 not knowing about a part one so here I am. Love the weld up around the 7 minute mark.
Definitely interested in part 2. I always learn so much
When you have more money than you know what to do with and want a handrail that will last ten times as long as the structure it's built on. I'd say this certainly qualifies as overkill, great job though.
amazing work as always... for sure hit us with a part 2 my guy
Gutter guy's have no complaints!!!! Great build..
That's a heck of a project! Thank you for all your work to make this great video and share some really useful tools.
Thank you for another excellent video.. the production quaility and content is 1st Class!
Got a good laugh at the handcuffs
Thanks for posting. Great video. Working on some railings myself would enjoy seeing how you paint and finish these all up
great work. i hope that owner picks up his golf balls though!
Everything about this video qualifies for the word epic. Thx for sharing, can't wait for the next one!
You sir are quite the fabricator and with your very nice collection of tools and machines you certainly do make it look easy. And incredible job on your crane/hoist, that is just awesome. Nicely done my friend, you did an incredible job.
You are a true artisan. Amazing work.
Damn the material selection by the engineer on that project is insane overkill. Must be one of those limitless budget kind of projects

If the budget was limitless I wish someone would have told me
Please post part 2. Your a brilliant tradesman, attention to detail on everything ive watched well done
Crushing the video quality on this one. Nice work on the crane too!
I'm one of those guys who loves their tools. For $2500 for that Matabo it had damned well save a shit load of time. I would have to stand by the interstate exit with a sign, "will work for tools" to afford that nice tools.
As always Attt quality on your videos ! Looks like the Metabo hand mill has a place in the arsenal ! About like an Evolution saw in my shop ! I built a freestanding staircase on an I-beam for my new house and the saw was a game changer for clean angle cuts with little clean up. Thanks for the content sir and wow what a view !
Part 2 would be dope. This is excellent content. The crane in particular is inspired.
Great content as always! I really liked seeing the weld shaver comparison. I've got their beveling tool, so I've been curious about the shaver for a while
Thanks for sharing. Really informative and great to see power tools not available in South Africa 🇿🇦. Keep up the good work
That metabo would definitely be worth it for someone who does the type of work you do for a living. Id be tempted to buy one even as a hobby fabricator. I despise grinding... but love the look of blended metal
great demonstration ! yes, please provide a "part two" ... thank you
Top notch work! That project looks amazing. The custom posts are a beautiful touch!
You rock. Great video.
I like your office. That Bosch looks like a good machine in use. Imagine plowing down on saw horse height work while standing. Production work hog. 👍
Awesome project, professional execution and professional industrial result, AAA+++
What an awesome video …!!! Arc shots and all !!!!

Such quality videos and work, really amazing stuff
I don't which is more awesome: The scenery, or the craftsmanship! I'm jealous! Great content and outstanding cinematography.
I’m keen for part 2 mate, cheers for the videos!
Awesome video dude!! Can’t wait to see more content!
Thanks for the content sir, it makes me wanna grind even harder to make stuff at your level
Awesome stuff man. The project, editing, footage and even the music was rad. Looking forward to Part 2. :)
Some really nice tools on display there. I like how you slid your gloves under the channel to protect your weld table surface. Good tip about not fully tightening the D shackle too.
Amazing shop, skills and knowledge.
Nice work. Love the tools
I would enjoy seeing part two!
Awesome informative vid,, i like that you take the time to show and explain your work also the tools you use on the fabrication. Looks like you had hard working laborers on site to help with the lifting!!

Some top tier stuff ya got going here. Nice job
Ok, so THAT is what the other side of the mountains looks like! Now I don’t have to take a drive through Front Range over there!
For drilling and tapping on a job I lean towards the drill tap combos. Not the perfect solution for every situation but can be a labor saver when they can do the job.
Thank you for this example of hands on experience. Ton of details go askew when the whiteboard plan meets reality and gotta adapt. Very enjoyable edit too.
Nice work bud I love the let nothing beat you mentality
You are a bad ass! Love you’re from CO as well, beautiful scenery, keep it up man!
That Metabo is a sweet tool. Very cool! Would love to try one sometime. Thanks for showing!

I love your channel as the attention to detail never ends. There’s the entertainment side with amazing framed videography, and much more importantly the extraordinary high level of fabrication. Even down to perfectly located lifting tab on the big fab part so it ease’s installation is is tilted just right. 👍👍😎👍👍

Stumbled across your channel, after watching all your videos. I went out and bought a welder, hoping to make a bed rack for my truck. Hope I can be half as good as you I what’s left of my lifetime.
