You all are such good examples of good, decent and Family oriented people as is Matt and his crew. Having lived in Kanab in the 80’s I am familiar with a lot of the country you all enjoy. Thanks for awesome entertainment and the great videos!
Paul, your father had taught you well. And your teaching you sons the same way! I appreciate all your knowledge for myself and my sons as well. Thank you!
DERRICK IS HIS NAME..
ON VICE GRIP GARAGE .. DERRICK
I actually got my Wrenching and fabrication skills due to demolition derby
So I don't want to be a downer on Mothers Day, but boy did this hit home, right where I live.
My Dad was a lot like your Dad, Paul, a heavy equipment mechanic by trade and a guy who could fix/build/create anything by necessity. Born in 27, Navy in WWII.
Hot Rodder extraordinaire.
He taught me the same skills you have learned from your Dad. He taught me to braze, I did my first water pump R&R on an Oldsmobile Toronado when I was 8. He had broken his hand at work, and I was his hands. It was my uncles car, his brother...who somehow couldn't do more than put gas in the car. He teased me a lot until the day an 8 year old fixed his car for him.
I am almost 63. Married for 42 years to my high school sweetheart too.
I lost Dad when I was 24. He passed 5 months before his first grandchild arrived. He was 56.
I still have that Lincoln Buzz Box, and a PowerMig, and some other nice tools, and I have done my best to teach my now grown sons the lessons he taught me.
Seeing you with your Dad...really got to me. I don't mean to lecture, but don't take a single minute for granted, you are Blessed beyond measure to have him there and to see your kids grow up. I can tell you know it, I just had to say it.
If the world wants to solve its problems, the same men who built it are around...they teach the values of self reliance, honesty, integrity, and the value of family bonds. In other words, they need to look at your folks and the lives you and Michelle have built, and follow in your footsteps.
God Bless you guys. Sorry for the rant.
I never met your Dad, but I can relate. My Dad was born in 27, out in eastern Washington state, and is still with us today. At 16 he was hired by his neighbor to rebuild a combine, had the reputation as a very young man as the best combine operator anywhere around. I inherited his mechanical ability, and ended up an engineer in Silicon Valley without the benefit of any 4 year engineering degree. I build the very first computer disk coater in the very early 1980's, and after 50 years old reinvented myself as an IT and AV consultant. Today, at 67 years old I have all the work that I want, and am very blessed. Thanks be to God for his goodness, and all the blessings that have come my way.
Arch Stanton that was a great write up that yo posted soooo true i totally agree with every word you said!!
Amen to that. They really are blessed.
@Arch Stanton...Well said, a really good comment. I lost my Dad over a year ago but he left me and my brother his tools but the one thing that he gave me as my high school graduation gift was his 1971 Chevrolet C-10 pickup truck. I still have it and in the process of restoring it, I bought some parts for it but still have some ways to go but I will do it and get Yesterday's Chevrolet running again 👍🇺🇸..
Hey you jerk enough with the sappy stuff, At 61 you teared me up I lost dad in 2007 and mom in 08 miss them every day.
Watching your normal small town lives is infinitely more interesting & fulfilling than watching any established celebrity or those plastic tiktokers who only think about life in the short term. Y'all are amazing people. Gimme salt of the earth over rich & famous any day! I wish you all wellness, happiness & to always have just enough. There's no point in overexerting or overextending to chase more money or more fame than you actually need only to lose what made you decent people in the first place. Keep it real Fab Rats! On to the next 100k subscribers!
absolutely!
I love this show it's clean
Coming back to watch old videos I missed and saw this, its so true, that's why I love watching and wait for Matt's off road and fab rats to post, they're down to earth good people with well intentions and its great
Well said !
You are absolutely right.
Down to earth people with values, good hearted, just trying to scratch a living without being flooded with democracy crackdowns is a special event.
Having a relief to remind you that it isn't completely broken refreshing.
True inspiration and ingenuity. LOVE all the home brew machinery and equipment, especially the backhoe 😁👍
Hey man , I was very sorry to hear that Your Dad passed away. When my dad was dying, he said to me, "don't cry cause it's over, smile cause it happened". I cried my heart out anyway.
So we are down here in Taranaki ,New Zealand. I love that in this boss world of trucks and welders and bloke stuff, Michelle rocks. Man ,you couldn't win her in a raffle, she is AWESOME.
Be safe , have fun. Again.... my condolences. Steve
My son and I stopped in at Arche's for lunch last Thursday while passing through Orderville. As luck would have it when we told your Mom we saw this place on CZcams when Matt and Paul stopped after one of Matt's recoveries. Your Mom answered with " Paul is right over there having his lunch. Go talk to him . He don't bite!" It was a pleasure meeting you your Mom and some of your crew. Thanks for the conversation and have a great trip to the Rubicon and Fordyce trails here in the California Sierra Mountains! Remember you have my card if something we can help you with comes up while your out here. Oh yea we met Matt and his crew Friday at his shop ( the one with the hole in the wall) on Friday too!
Thanks again, Dan and Cole ( Jeepster Commando)
Awesome. Everything.
I'm a regular viewer from Croatia, Southern Europe.
Your family, Matt's family, Essential Craftsman's family, Andrew Camarata is whom I think of when I hear the word American.
Ingenuity, perseverance, intelligence, compassion that flows through your veins is what built America.
I like all those channels too. you'll have to check out Derek at the "Vice Grip Garage" channel. that is some real entertainment. better than any hollywood sitcom.
You might also enjoy Heath from the Red Poppy Ranch youtube channel! He's very resourceful and his story telling skills are hypnotic.
@@jakep5121 "I don't know"
@@WarPoet-In-Training Yeah, that's a good man. Happy family.
If I ever drive down there in my jeep from Canada I hope it's ok if I come by and say hi :) Great video, thanks.
I saw a couple of comments in a recent video about your loss, and CZcams suggested this video to me today.
A good man passes his life on to his children. Looks like he did, because it looks like you are as well.
I really enjoy coming to see what ya'll are going to do next. You were just talking about 100k and you're nearly to 300k. Glad I found the channel!
When I saw that video of his dad's Tow Truck I knew who taught Paul to fabricate.
Yep!
We should be the ones thanking you for allowing us to be part of your family. I always look forward to seeing your videos. I never miss them.
Well said! I completely agree.
Yes I agree with that !!!
Paul, I'm coming here after seeing your "News We Never Wanted To Share" video. As I sit here, typing with tears rolling down my cheeks, I recognize the similarities between your dad and mine, and I'm sorry for your loss. At the same time, I hope you can recognize the beauty of our shared perspective in the Plan of Salvation and find the Peace promised to us by the Greatest Man who ever walked the Earth. Cherish these memories, and know that your dad is proud of your accomplishments.
Michele says she likes Vice Grip Garage, as do we. Besides offering interesting, entertaining content, you and Paul, like Derek and Jess, all seem be be genuinely nice people that you wouldn't mind knowing or being friends with in real life. That makes supporting the channels through views and merch, an easy choice to make and we're happy to do it. That's for all the great content.
Love seeing your dad's old contraptions stories! And, "if we wanted something we built it"!
Hi. I'm a city lad from Glasgow Scotland and love watching your videos even though I can hardly even change a plug. I love that you guys recycle everything and repair rather than replace, most of the time. I wish more of us had this upbringing to know how to make and repair rather than just buying stuff all the time. Top folk!
“Necessity is the mother of invention” is proven true many times in this video. Brilliant problem solving with the resources that were available! 👌👌
Congrats on the 100K, hope to see you this fall when we head out there for Trail Hero.
“and then I knocked him out.”. EHRMAHGERHD! That was Matt that took that hit? I was so impressed with Paul when he immediately scrambled out of the cab to check on the driver after smacking the spaghettios out of him,,,,,
Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
I was surprised too that it was Matt he knocked out. Matt failed to mention that part. lol
VGG collab would be awesome!!! I feel like Paul would be laughing the whole time at dereks jokes.
This is awesome. Absolutely love the family centric stuff, and that’s a lot of what America needs right now!
I Learned to weld on a ol Forney bud box, peg leads, that sound will stay with me for ever, those are the good ol days, thanks BigAl California.❤❤❤
As a single father of two girls.... besides them obviously 🤣.... Fab rats and Matt's off road recovery is what the joy of my day every video
Love you guys, admire your ingenuity and your propensity to NEVER THROW ANYTING AWAY. Reuse it!!! My Dad came from the farm and is just like you all. I was blessed with his mechanical ability, and inherited his mechanical ability, and ended up an engineer in Silicon Valley without the benefit of any 4 year engineering degree. I build the very first computer disk coater in the very early 1980's, and after 50 years old reinvented myself as an IT and AV consultant. Today, at 67 years old I have all the work that I want, and am very blessed. Thanks be to God for his goodness, and all the blessings that have come my way.
100k subs...👍👍
1000 comments....
Only one thing to say...
Don't forget...!!!
How AWESOME you are...& You are loved, all over the world..😜
Hey Michelle, thanks for letting us know thata you actually read our comments. I'm enjoying watching Paul at work. ;)
from Hobart, Tasmania, AUSTRALIA.
Paul I love your channel you and your family are amazing humble and awesome people if more people in the world were like you-all our world would be a much better place.thanks again for the time you take out of your busy life to make it possible for me and everyone else able to watch.. thanks again and keep up the great work
Thanks again for letting us into your lives. We feel like you are our neighbours!
his place reminds me of that awesome part in terminator 2 where they go to the weapons dump out in the desert, to arm themselves to the teeth
My old Dad was born in a covered wagon on the outskirts of Sedalia, MO in 1899. His family was moving to the Sand Hills of Nebraska, when he was born!
He passed in 1996, he was 96 years old. I'm 71 now.
Dad could make anything he wanted out of anything he had.
I learned so much from him, your video reminded me of how much I miss him.
I really enjoy your channel guys!
You people are why I love Utah so much. It's like driving on 89 and looking at the farms with the old abandoned pioneer homes. It's a special place filled with special people.
First due to your wedding picture white tuxedos are gonna make a huge comeback...
I think people connect to your channel because you all are genuine. The content you create touches people because it shows life's basics. Family, friends, hard work, the things that matter. Nothing special, the simple things in a complex world that give life meaning, purpose, fulfillment. Things that everyone has the potential to have, do and achieve. You do this with humility and a sense of humor. Just makes it better. This may sound corny but I think its accurate.
Paul. Read this one: I'm a 64 year old retired Mechanical Design Engineer. Part of my time was as a Design Engineer for a major Japanese motorcycle company. I had tons of the best talented Fabricators money could buy and we had a near limitless budget. I learned a bunch from those guys. However, in all my years of designing, engineering, and fabricating I never met a single individual with so much talent and ability. I watch you make cardboard templates with a maker and in no time you have fabricated a part. Need to machine something? No problem just go over the old Lathe. Of course, there is the welding.... Thanks. You blow my mind at what you can do and how humble you are about doing it. I'm learning from you. Thank you for showing us how to get it done! From John in Fallbrook, CA
PS Vice Grip Garage is one of my favorites too as is "Musti 1".
Congrats on over 100,000 subs. Those who have followed in Dads footsteps know.I still call and ask advise or just what do think if I did this. Life is to short ,enjoy dad and your kids . Keep them coming and I will watch.Be safe, have fun ,work hard
I'm in a small town, Warren, North West of Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
"If you thought my wood splitter was dangerous, his' got a four speed on it."
I really like the video, took me back to those years when my late Dad was teaching me stuff around the house. I still have the 1971 Chevrolet C-10 pickup that he gave me for my high school graduation gift, I bought some parts for it but still have some ways to go but I'm gonna get it running again. I buy tool after tool like my Dad even though I have tools but I get the ones I don't have. Thanks to Paul, his wife and family for sharing their life story with us, it was awesome 👍🇺🇸..
You can never have too many tools, and life is a tool collecting contest, who ever dies with the most tool's has the happiest family!
This popped up in my feed today. It's really fun to see how far you've come in the last 3 years.
Sunday is complete now! Fab Star, Matts and Papa Dar! Who could ask for anything more! Grandpa Sherm and Granny how cool, and by the way Granny rocks on sending the merch out!
Now I see where Paul gets his fab skills. Awesome video. I love watching Paul and Matt and your families. Keep up the great work.
Since you said you read every single comment I had to respond. Thank you for clean family content! It is delightful to watch. I don't have to worry about my grand kids walking in the room and hearing an ear full. Glad to hear you made it to church after a rescue. Also really admire the relationship with Matt and his family.
the best channels are real hard working Americans doing what they love!
dont ever change
Lost my dad back in December he taught me how to make something from nothing also.props to you and yours.
When the tow truck build will start even Matt's excited for that one, he said when he helped unload a chassis.
I don't know if you read comments from your half-year old videos, but thanks for sharing yourselves with those of us out here in CZcams-land. Paul has made the environment he grew up in a part of his on-going life, and you both look like you're having a lot of fun doing it. Bless all of you.
To subscribers: My Grandfather and Grandmother were born 1885 near Matt’s town. The Anderson’s sold 3000 acres near there in1963 to my Grandfather Homer Englestead. I spent many summers in Glendale bailing hay and playing Later working up in SKYHAVEN, 3000acres. My point being these are the finest folks, family, God loving. The most beautiful state you can only dream of. My Family now live in Cedar, Hurricane, So. Utah. Your channel lights up my soul with the finest memories of my life. Thank you and your family.
Thank you for a peek into your life that isn't all about just a fab shop. You are the kind of people I would love to be neighbors with!! Thanks for another great video.
Howdy from Moscow Idaho! Your family illustrates what makes America great. Thanks for letting us share your life. God bless and Happy Mothers Day Michele.
My dad was a stock car racer growing up, so he was a decent mechanic, welder, and fabricator. I decided that his chosen profession (painting contractor) was too much work after spending summers sweeping up job sites and sanding cabinets, so I went to college to become an engineer. I’m book-smart, but I have a a lot of respect and appreciation for those who can do the kind of things that you do. Thanks for giving us a BTS look into your background
You are a credit to your family, and I know your family are proud of you. The respect you show brings tears to my eyes. You teach, your boys with respect, you allow them to do things with your advice, and instructions. Always a happy family and I just love Michelle, you crack me up. Love you all.
We really enjoyed this program. We have been watching you for several weeks, maybe a couple months. Sometime we will buy Fabrats shirts . I’m 77 and my wife is 73 this month. We love your clean entertainment. Thank you
YA'LL ARE WHAT AMERICA STANDS FOR! NEVER LET IT CHANGE!!
This country needs more men like Paul and his Dad and of course their wives.
Thank You for letting us into your lives! Paul's Dad was a genius at turning crap into working equipment, an absolute artist! It looks like Paul learned from the best! So many great memories for the family.
The good ol' Lincoln buzz box! My grandpa taught me how to weld on the same thing!
You guys are so cool. Thanks for doing this. Need more Grandpa Sherm
@Barry Barry haha, did you take a getting to know your co-worker zoom meeting? Spot on though!
That tour of your roots was a blast and having a father that just does it PRICELESS. My dad God rest his soul was not so gifted, he once asked me Michael what wrench is between 7/16 and 9/16 I looked at him and with a straight face said 8/16 after a second a light went off in his head and he realized 1/2"
I pass through Glendale a couple times a week and always kind of geek out when I see Sherm's tow truck.
Paul, your father reminds me of my own father, he could build anything with nothing and sometimes we brought more stuff home from the dump than we took out there!!👍🇺🇸
From Alaska. Started watching MORR and that brought me here. My wife’s sister lives in Pleasant Grove and we visited about 4 years ago. Drove down to St George and got out of the truck and it was 106! Thought I was going to die. Beautiful country tho.
Lovely tales about the spirit of „can do“. Rather adorable if I do say so myself
Paul i am sorry you lost your dad. I know it was hard. You are blessed to have had such a good relationship with him.
What a great tribute to Grandpa Sherm! Much of what I've learned to do, I learned from my dad. He grew up on a farm where there wasn't money to buy new or have things fixed or built. So he learned to be a jack of all trades. Keep all the great content coming! Oh, and I recently wore my Fab Rats shirt while doing a brake job on the wife's van!
Happy Mother’s Day to Michelle and Paul’s Mom. Families like yours are what make our country great and the mamas deserve most of the credit! Whell I’ll be dipped! I would love to see a collaboration between FabRats and ViceGrip.
There are good families all over the world 😉
@@block4565 Yes there are. And I certainly don’t want to take anything away from the families of the world. Just want Michelle and Paul to know the backbone of the USA is hardworking, industrious, make it work, good, honest families like theirs. Even if there are politicians and CEOs and advertising executives and a laundry list of other narcissists that would like to take credit for themselves.
Don't ever stop "cackling" - you have a lovely, infectious laugh. The pair of you are just a joy to this Old Cornishman. Love your work, love your warmth. Keep on keeping on, mates.
I lived in the Hill AFB area about 20 years ago, great area. Now I live in Puerto Rico. That backhoe is awesome! That backyard is like a Disney park!!! Beautiful Family!
Congrats on reaching 100,000, we love watching the channel ! Happy Mother's Day Michelle
It's great how much you learned from your dad, and he supported you teaching and fiddling with stuff. My dad thought me working on cars, and has tried to support me fiddling with stuff but has never understood my wanting to build it instead of buying, but I'm trying to teach my son to explore, create, and learn, so its great to see you let your kids build things, and support them. Love seeing your family creating, building, and learning together.
“He’s always liked Jeepin, Ive liked Jeepin, so we’ve just always gone Jeepin together.”
Best line ever. You guys are great 👍
You know, what we see is a love/hate relationship with Matt. For shure it means no filters, you feeling free and showing the "ego" moments workin together means how healthy and strong your relationship is 😉👍
Paul you should thank your Dad everyday . He’s made a incredible man out of you ! Don’t worry the way your channel is growing you can retire from the telephone business soon , love the channel keep up the great work . Keep practicing your social media skulls it takes time just-like you learned to weld .
It was great to see you show us your "learnin roots". I learned most of what I know from my dad too. That's a priceless gift given to you that I'm sure you'll pass on to your kids. God Bless.
I messed up last night and watched the video were yall took the tow truck home , I cried like a baby ,
You guys are to real , watching your videos are like being with family , ✌️❤️🇺🇸
I love you guys. My dad taught me a ton about fixing and making things.
I have family from Orderville. My Grandmother was born and or raised there (she passed back in the early 80s when I was a young little guy). Her last bane was Adair.
Anyway, this video was awesome to watch. I couldn't watch until now due to a family vacation.
Hugs to all y'all.
Hey Paul. I have an old Mercury chainsaw with a 4 foot bar. Takes two guys to run it. Belonged to my Grandfather who was a logger his whole life
Congrats "Fab Rats" 106K keep it UP great videos !!!
Well I guess we are true FabRat fans. Watched this video last night and we knew most (if not all) of the answers to the questions.
We started watching you when you only had around 40k subscribers. And we have been hooked ever since. Keep those vids coming. Charles & Carrie
I suspected that Paul was self taught but I m still impressed with the fabricating ability as well as Michelle and your whole family. You guys are aawesome!
Happy Mothers Day to all of you!!
Thankyou for doing the Q and A,much appreciated.
Hey Paul thanks for the walk through of your pass. Was nice to see what your dad has done. Mine passed last year and hasn't been easy. But watching you tear down and rebuild things like my dad used to makes it easier. Keep being awesome and steal some more Mt due. Rip papa sherm
Something special about watching this a year, knowing how the channel has grown so much since. RIP grandpa sherm, what a legend.
It's awesome seeing other people that grew up the same as i did with pigs and chickens and all. The people that make this country work!!!
Paul should write a book with all his dads adventures and "inventions". That would be a best seller. The memories that would be stirred up writing it would be priceless.
been watching the channel for 6+ months, but this gem of a video finally popped up. your dad was a great man.
This family is the best representation of America that I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. Hard work, love and respect for your elders, keep an open mind and a fellowship with your neighbor, take care of your family, and fend for yourself. You make me proud to be an American and give me hope for the future of our country. The wierdos on the coasts ( where I live) refer to you as "fly over country" but I refer to you as the essence of America. You are the personification of what has, and continues to make this country great. Enough said.
When I first started watching you guys, I was surprised there weren't more subscribers.
Love the stories as much as Paul's fabbin'... Thanks y'all!
We need more of Grandpa Sherm, he kind of sounds like Burl Ives and I like that.
Deadly to see the back story. Watching with a while after seeing Paul with Matt. Family is the most important. I can see your own kids getting the same core values from you both. Just Deadly
You guys have a great family. Love the small town feeling where you live.
Stumbling on y’all’s channel has been so humbling. I appreciate watching your videos. So much so that I think I’ve rewatched all of them now.
Don't change anything! Such a great balance of work, fun, danger, family, and friends. Maybe a few more dogs!
From this Canadian to you wonderful people I just want you to know how very much I appreciate watching you all.
Papa Dar and your dad are my two new heroes, a gravel pit operator and a junkyard relic maker . I need to get some lessons in moving rock like that.👍
Congratulations on the 100,000subs . Keep up the great work and before you know it you will have a million!
Focus on being you and not the pressures to adapt to social media (IE: big tech). The real people, like yourselves, is what we enjoy watching. Keep up the great work.
now retired but been in transport all my life have meet a few fabriication men in my time but you are the best ive ever seen
Thanks for the great content! One of the most interesting channels going. 👍
You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing some questions with us. It's really neat knowing alot more than what we see.
Hello Paul and Michelle, quite a bit of water has gone under the bridge since you made this video, most significantly the passing of Paul's dad. With the knowledge that this video brings it is easy to appreciate the huge significance of your journey over the last 15 months. You are a credit to the values and beliefs you stand for.
