Elevator music?? How dare you be chill while fabricating! REEEEEEEEEEEEE Heh heh, keep up the good work bud. Always a pleasure to watch.

Nice job on the ladder rack. I never get tired of watching the CNC cutting out parts. Thanks.

I agree...I like watching stuff being sand blasted in a cabinet as well, lol!

"Liked" especially because of the elevator music. Nice fab work, too.

The longer I watch the nicer your tools get and with the nice tools the quality has gone up thumbs up.

Thanks Richard 👍 I appreciate your comment! Haha well there seems to be a few trolls out there that like to thumbs down 👎 other peoples hard work.

First thing I thought. Surely he's not going to mount that on the bed sides. Nope, he didn't. LOL! I love you have the kiddos helping out. You can teach them sooner but often not later. I was teaching my 9 year old granddaughter how to weld. She saw me altering a bicycle and wanted to know how. Now she's pretty good for a little girl! LOL! She came up to me and said one of her friends was bragging about falling off her bike and skinning up her knee. She told her friend that she got this burn from welding up hers! Yep! That's my girl! Thanks for the cool music in the video. I'm all for something that drives the whiners nuts. Take care, stay safe! Terry from South Carolina

Way better than you could purchase! Fantastic design and build Mike! By the way, the elevator music comment made me laugh! It's your channel....do what YOU WANT! Your channel is one of my favorites due to your talent and personality!

Came for the fab work and the tips & tricks. Stayed for the soothing work music. Seriously, I get stuff DONE with tunes like this in my shop. That caption at 14:04 tho... GOLD! The haters can have their own music in their own shop when they make their own videos.

You’re like the Bob Ross of Fabrication. Don’t change a thing brother. I’m digging the soothing vibe . Keep it up and it’s been nice watching the channel grow over the years . Cheers Shout out from Renton , WA 🤘

I think this little truck is so cute. I never get tired watching videos of it. Thanks Mike.

I've turned on notifications for very few channels. This is one of them and always worth the watch.

Man this is such a functional little rig. What a blast it must be in the mountains!

Mike it’s awesome!!! Loved seeing your son help you. He is so fortunate to have a dad that wants his help for one . And 2nd a father who has so much talent to teach him how to build whatever he wants to. Also please tell him I love his tattoo’s 😃. I really like the videos of your property. My husband and I love the woods and the privacy.. thank you for all the videos and sharing all the little tricks you have , your videos and your delivery are so great 😄

I just finished building some trusses for a shed and I painted them with that same paint gun. Only I bought mine a few years ago for another project and never used it till now. I was quite pleased with the results. Thanks for sharing this video I enjoyed it

Really digging the canvas cover idea. Can’t wait to see what you come up with

So nice to here ‘original’ music while watch a soothing build. Mike, I can’t tell you how many times I end up spending money on another tool after watching your videos. The dimple dies have been on my short list for years, but they are pricey. I just added them to my Black Friday wish list. Every year I buy something from SWAG on his once a year sale day. Ladder rack came out exceptional. 👍👍😎👍👍 Can’t wait for the next Festiva episode 😁

Thanks for checking out my new video Joel 👍 I really appreciate it! Haha I hope I’m not getting you in trouble with tool purchases 😂 The dimple dies are definitely pricey, there are a few different kits available from Swag off-road, Troy the owner of the company is an upstanding individual, I have spoken with him a few times on the phone and I admire what he is doing with his business. Basically he was an engineer working a full time job, but was making useful tools on the side at home, he started getting more requests for bandsaw stands and other stuff, he kept at it and before long he was working for himself engineering more products and started his own business. 🙂 Take care Joel.

Apparently I have a history of wanting something I don’t NEED, and then complaining just long enough to my wife about how I want it but at the same time I don’t want to spend the money. Eventually she says…. ‘don’t be silly, quit talking about it and just go buy it already’. Weird… 🤔 😀

I have been working metal all my life and just drool at all of your toys. And no I don't live in a third world location. I have worked with EDM, plasma cutters, even computer controlled plasma cutters, but never home based units like yours. Thank you for sharing....you lucky devil.

Another great project! Can't wait to see it filled out with the canvas sides

Impressive craftsmanship, its sadly vanishing from today's culture Definitely a thumbs up 👍

Super clean build!!! Love that mini truck!!!! Awesome job as always!! Those dimple dies are sweet and oddly satisfying!! Thanks for a great video!!

Love the return of original music. Well done!!!!

That's such a neat, light and robust rack...thanks for sharing.

Every time I watch this video I see more details. It’s funny how you can watch something even a movie and then pick up so many details after like the 3rd or fourth time. Or 5th lol 😄. I am loving those dimple dies. That’s next on my list. Love the look it gives and like Mike stated. The strength. The same way bead rolling gives strength to straight panels. Awesome as always. I just got my bender two weeks ago. I’m looking forward to using it now 😁

I look forward to your videos, because you’re always so attentive to each step and the details of how you do these projects. It certainly takes the anxiety out of starting new projects for someone like me, who gets bogged down in the details to the point of being too anxious to even start. Plus, the fact that you use affordable tools certainly shows that you don’t need the most expensive equipment on the market to do a good job. Also, props to your camera person! P.S. Pretty sure I’ve seen that Dodge rig in the background in some of the overlanding groups I’m in online. Looks like a sweet rig!

So cool to see your son helping you. Enjoying this Suzuki build out.

Would love to see a full exo-skeleton build roll cage for this! Keep up the great work

This reminds me of back when I was active in the 4x4 crowd. There was a guy in our club that would weld up steps and bumpers for 4x4’s that were made of round tubing, but he welded them up tight and fitted them with air compressor fittings so they could double as air pressure tanks for the little compressors we took on the trails.

A work of art! I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your projects. Keep them coming my friend.

As someone over the age of majority, I appreciate that you select music that is pleasant and doesn't detract from the video. I also acknowledge that you have a limited selection from KZread royalty-free music. I like your fabrication skills, reminds me of another channel I subscribe to; FabRats.

Excellent build. Also the paint finish turned out awesome 👍

This is a thing of practical beauty and now it will help keep the tires on the road a bit

Easily my favourite series on KZread 🤩

I’m doing some catch up, haven’t felt the KZread bug for a bit, FANTASTIC rack! Love the oak boards, and dimple die everything!!

Love the Suzuki and Welding Projects

I love the cnc machine. Cuts so well and precise

great design on the rack. perfectly suited for that little truck

You make manufacturing stuff DIY look easy!

Wow! Being able to work metal like this really elevates what you can do with other interests. Incredible work!

Another job well done. There's nothing like the satisfaction of having done it yourself, and that's not just a platitude. You know that you wouldn't find that rack in any catalog. Gotta love a good welder and some time to use it.

Came out sick. Nice design and execution.

Awesome job as usual. I love this little truck!

Nice rack, similar to what I've put on my trucks including my Haflinger, I also mage removable mesh gates which hold stuff, and in conjunction canvas tops you can prop them up and they make a really solid roof for camping.

Great video, Mike! I love the little kei truck. I agree with keeping the ladder rack light. Pretty trick bends on the round stock. 👍

What a beautiful build! Really loving this Kei truck and the lift music 😉

I really enjoy watching your builds and I like the music. You be you, it's what makes your channel great.

As always another quality build Mike. You are getting some awesome tools and equipment to👍

Very nice. Got my fabulous Friday Festiva fab fun fix! Oh and one more F for Scott Groves too....

Very tidy, looks strong to. Great job.

Love your Suzuki carry! It’s exactly how I want for one I eventually get, but with slightly smaller off road tires for better steering clearances. And that rack is exactly a rack I want, light duty with that exact styling/tie down points is perfect! Keep the videos coming! Also idk who was complaining about the music, your music is great! Gives me that “grand tourismo” game vibes. Gotta love that jazz vibes.

Thanks for the video! It’s a nice practical build with great touches. Reusing the oak slats from the pallet was clever. And I found the music to be relaxing. 😀

The rack looks great. Nice design.

Very relaxing watching a master at work 😀

For a sewing machine make sure you get a walking foot if you want to sew heavy fabrics/canvas. I’d recommend an old juki of pfaff.

I love the easy going music in back ground. I’m mean I honestly can’t complain about your production quality at all. My only complaint…not enough content but hey I’ll survive. 🥰

Another fantastic build and video Mike! Keep them coming!

Great little episode Mike. I bought the Fein Chop saw after watching your review a few years ago and I have used it so much for some huge projects and it's absolutely brilliant. I dulled the blade on some stainless and actually resharpened it with angle grinder and it's been great ever since. Byron. Australia.

Love this wee truck.

Nice. Fit and finish is definately as good as most store bought stuff 👍🏻

Heck yeah, its coming along nice!

actually like the use of oak over the cab. pretty cool to see!

What a nice little truck...Nice job on the engine and rack you did....That little truck is a prize find....

I really want to see the canvas sides, I've thought about that for myself. Thanks for the content!

You have a nice set up, looks like plenty of experience to boot..sweet build..

Freaking awesome job my friend!! I'm getting ready to fit my Acty with a similar build. Love your vision & skills. Thanks for a great video!!

Great work, its always nice to add more utility to a machine

Another cool Kei tora vid, as ever the music choices match your chilled out presentation style.

Sweet rack, increasing the usefulness is what it's all about.

Mike, creatively you are a beast my friend. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Great Job on the rack. Now I need to build on for my 96 Suzuki Carry 👍✌

Nice work as always Mike. Very cool little truck 👍

Great job. Love the Muzak!

Nice project ! Turned out awesome ! That will really come in handy there bud !!!!!

Man, you do such great content. I was thinking a ladder rack on a Kai truck would be boring. Nope. Loved watching the process. You do great work.

Great to see the next generation of fabrication.

a real craftsman --a visionary -dreamer with reality thank you

Looks really good, nice to see just enough steel to make it work and not so much that you've added a load of weight.
