I was watching his stuff early 2000's and I was wearing a Tie, Selling Cars n stuff. One Day I took a Welding course because I instinctively needed to learn a skill with my hands. Like a Surgeon, I started to become a Welder and then a Pipe Welder honing my craft and never looked back. Jesse James is what planted that seed in my head. I knew If could Weld, I would never be Broke. Learn a Skill that is in High Demand that only a few can do.

Here’s a true story come in straight out of Savannah Georgia, my friend EARL told me this. Sandra Bullock‘s ex-husband, the biker dude whatever his name was who cares. So Sandra Bullock bought a home at Tybee Island Savannah Georgia some years back. Oh yeah his name was Jesse James, so Jessie acted like a real DICK and went to the crab shack seafood restaurant on Tybee Island with Sandra Bullock. He ordered boiled 🦐 shrimp acting like a jerk he sent it back saying he was not going to touch shrimp that we’re not peeled, he sent it back for them to peel it for him. Earl told me that his son and the kitchen staff were rubbing the boiled peeled shrimp on their balls, took it back to asshole Jessie James and he ate it-hope this gets back to you Jesse James LOL what you get for being a DSCK-true story, true story ! Sorry crabshack but your seafood sucks, go to the SHELL house seafood restaurant @ I95 & Hwy204 instead, don’t have anything against the crab shack but as a local Savannahian you just nowhere to go.

I grew up with guns. We drove around with them in the car and used to just carry them up the street when I was younger to buy some ammo. And I'm not talking air rifle pellets these were 12 gauge and 30/06. No one fucking cared man... And you know what? I didn't want to shoot anyone - that thought never entered my mind.. It was just empowering and comfortable to have them. I'm 56 so this was in the early 70's in Australia. Just sayin' cause all this anti-gun hysteria is complete bullshit.. It seems to me to be more about government control and personal disempowerment..

Rebel Nomad My senior year in high school was when it all changed. I went to a vocational school that served 3 counties in NW Ohio. The area is covered by farms and rural land. These kids hunt before and after school, so there were guns in trucks. It was technically against the law, but was akin to jaywalking on an empty street by most. Then Cloumbine happened, and the world flipped over. SWAT came in and the school was put on lockdown, because of a kid who foolishly left his 22 in locked in the rack, when he pulled in the lot. A teacher pulled him off to the side, before he walked into the building. She told him to pull out of the school lot and stow it, (she was in a world of shit for that) or park off campus. Instead, he went to the truck, and quickly broke it down, and put the lower in his locked toolbox along with the ammo, and locked the upper in a hard case behind the seat. Someone saw him, likely for the briefest of moments, and freaked. I still don't know what happened to him penalty wise, but he was still awaiting trial when I moved down here to Tulsa in 01. Teacher was, of course, fired and likely blackballed from academia.

Devildog Minuteman definitely. When I worked across from West Coast Choppers in Long Beach I'd go to Cisco Burger which he owned and he'd walk over all dirty and pick up the trash in front of the restaurant. When I actually met him, he was so chill and he even went and refilled my soda. It kinda blew my fucking mind because at the time I'm thinking "Sandra Bullock's husband is refilling my coke? Wtf!?". Such a humble down to earth dude. I don't get why so many people say he's a dick.

He is such a humble guy. Y’all are making Texas proud!

His experience moving from California is the EXACT same as mine. I was always pro-2nd but I never realized how I was being neutered intellectually and practically by the hateful state of CA.

Colion conducted an excellent interview of Jesse James! People may have negative feelings or viewpoints towards the Jesse. The facts are that Jesse has honed his skills of metallurgy to the point that he received worldwide recognition and has built a following or fan base. I don't personally know him, but I respect his seemingly brutal honesty. I enjoy seeing his craftsmanship in all that he builds!

He wants whatever he builds to speak for itself. i’m sure he made a lot of mistakes along the way, but he damn well learned from them!

Reminds me when my non-car guy friends say, "Dude, how do you know how to do all this stuff?" I'm like... Figure it the f*ck out... Then I drive away in my 1970 Super Bee 4-speed and they drive away in their Honda Civic. Just saying. Figure it the f*ck out and don't be lazy. I work a white collar job, very stressful, and I come home and my cars are my passion and my stress relief! How do you NOT love what pays you back in hard work and coolness?

Im so glad The NRA picked you up as a spokesman, Colion. I'm glad to see people giving Jesse a shot to at least speak his peace about Gun Smithing. Too many haters. Jesse was a super humble guy when I met him in Daytona Beach in 1999, come to find out he had sold $500k in merch that weekend and you never would have know it by his ego. Very humble man and he always gives credit to the Original Masters of their craft and ALWAYS appreciates the little guy who's worked 70 hours on a Bridgeport for 40 years and can do the most technical cut you can imagine and doesnt think twice about it being a craft or an Art, those are the guys who teach us punks the most.....if they're not too grumpy lol

Whether you like Jesse or not as a person, You can't deny his talent. He is a true craftsman

Hearing Jesse talk about people writing him letters and emails asking to work for him made me chuckle...in 2016 my 14yr old son wrote Jesse a letter asking to work there...he started working there over his 9th grade Christmas break...fast forward to 2020...my son has been working there ever since...every day after school, all day Saturdays, fulltime during any break from school, and full time all through the summers...if he wasn't at school or at home, he was at work. He just graduated high school and is a full-time employee learning all kinds of stuff. He's been there while filming for the new Monster Garage. He's been to Jesse's house a bunch of times. He's gone to concerts with Jesse and his family, out to eat, all kinds of shit, lol. Remember, never give up, persistence pays off.

This was a great video. Thanks for posting it. As a small business owner and tradesmen myself I fully appreciate what Jesse says about having to work to feel like you accomplished something and putting your all into it. He's says he's not a artist but most great artist will often say that. His bikes and guns are useable/ functional works of art. Great interview Mr. Noir !

Thank you for not giving up on this interview, it was well worth it.

6 years later and still a good video... keep up the great work 💯

great video Colion, I hope you do some more with Jesse... he's one hell of a smart guy.

Thank you so much for this one! Very cool.

Great to see Jesse James again and working on his new passion! Than you Colin for sharing your day with him.

I have seen at least a dozen interviews with JJ. With out a doubt Colion this was hands down the most insightful interview I have watched. You have a gift my friend to cut through BS and really get into the most important aspects of what is essential. We'll done.

This is some tight work on multiple levels starting with the video quality.... great show Colin!!

3:53 Woah, that 1911 with all the religious symbols engraved on both sides of Lucifer on 1 side & Jesus on the other; is the best object to display this philosophy of Ying & Yang or good vs evil. Just looking @ it lets me admire the combination art & philosophy in motion... ( ˙꒳​˙ )

Thank you!! Colion and Jesse.

Honestly, just stumbled across this video on my way home from work. I work in construction and am aspiring to get the hell outta California to become a gunsmith and someday manufacturer/shop owner and this video inspired me. Especially him talking about manual labor and that last bit. Thanks for bringing this awesome video man.

Grate vid man thank you both

Really down to earth interview. The last minuet part of the interview here really brought it home for me.

This was a terrific interview. Great work.

Jesse is a big time inspiration, thank's for posting this!

Jesse is an amazing human being! I believe the work he does is art. A true example of hard work and passion.

Met Jesse briefly in the past... A real down to Earth Dude...Go Jesse!!!!!!!!!!

Great talk with him Colin !

Damn forgot all about this dude. Thanks for the vid CN!

Such a fuckin genuine, hardworking, passionate dude. Always loved what he did since I was a kid.

Mad Props Jesse James! Keep "laboring"! Real. Thanks Colion.

Ten minutes with Jesse James is not enough. I could watch you talk with him for a long while.

Jesse thank you for the further motivation I'm currently working on ending my 9-to-5 work for somebody else's life. I am getting back to my roots and working to create a products of real worth - thank you the inspiration. You are putting a small part of your sole into the projects you work on and it shows in the end. Someday I hope to get the opportunity to spend some time with you and check out your shop.

WOW! I always wonder where Jesse had gone. I'm so glad to see him doing what he does best, working with his hands.

thanks for this video it shows passion over success for the love of what you do because of the love hats to jesse i always wanted a 1911 cant afford one at the moment but if i ever get my hands on thst type of money iam supporting him simply because i know he did it from a passionate heart.

You can't afford a 1911? Or you can't afford a Jesse James 1911? Your basic 1911 can cost as little as a few hundred bucks. And in my opinion the most basic 1911 is already a work of art. Browning was an "artist" in his own right. Every gun he designed was a thing of beauty. I would love to own a Jesse James 1911. But I'm very happy with just a production 1911 too.

Great interview Mr. Noir please keep these coming.

Just plain awesome. Jesse is definitely an artist. Great interview Colion!

I so totally love Jesse's artistry and style! Yes, Jesse, you ARE an artist.

Last time I saw Jesse was on discovery channel like 15 years ago. I didnt know he got into gun manufacturing!

Jesse has amazing guns. I'm happy he does what he does!

Guess what Jesse....you're an artist.

I love what Jesse says about work I have noticed more people spend more time and effort trying to cut a corner or simplify what they are doing than just getting the job done

One of the best interviews on the youtubes for sure!

What you do Mr. James is what I consider art. I am an artist too but with a different media. Much respect with your new endeavour.

Great talk. Always liked Jessie for his passion and candidness.

Jesse is still one of the most interesting people of our time. I love his work ethic. I love his commitment to achieve excellence in whatever he is doing. Great video! Should have been longer though.

Wow, this video was so good.

I don't know what state of mind Jesse James was in for that interview, but he should maintain it. Those were the most humble and admirable words I've ever heard him speak. Great interview.

Jesse James is amazing. One of the best episodes so far.

I live watching his interviews. Jesse was such an inspiration to me as a kid growing up. He inspired me to build, fabricate, and work on my own stuff. Thank you Jesse James

My team and I really are loving your progression and content over the years. Stay humble and honest my man. -Some OGA contracting dudes.

Thanks Jesse, could listen to you talk all day. I believe you are an artist, you take art and make it applicable to machines that serve a purpose, a function of ingenuity that breeds quality, strength and style to its core. When you put your thumb print on a gun or bike its gonna be build to last, with artistic style in mind. I believe that's what we all wish for when we spend our hard earned money on any product of any sort! Problem with greed is, most of the stuff made by big name company's are engineered to only last long enough to keep us coming back for upgrades. Phones, cars, bikes ect. Keep up the solid work Jesse.

Been watching Jesse evolve over the Decades as a Great Mechanic Craftsman Machinist Fabricator Welder Custom Car Bike Builder Making Bad Ass Guns list goes on and on he's Very Talented long time ago watching Jessie making a Fender and Gas Tank using English Wheel anyone can do that is good in my book

I've always followed a definition of art that a teacher once told me. Take it or leave it. Art is the right making, of something to be made.
