How To Build Your First Fabrication Project
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 02. 2020
- Today on Dirt Lifestyle, we are building your first fabrication project! I'm going to go into more detail on this project for those of you that are brand new to metal fabrication.
This video is for someone that has been practicing welding and is ready to start their first project. It's likely that your early projects will be bumpers, fenders or sliders. In this video I'm going to build some steel fenders for my car trailer but these basic principles can be carried to just about anything.
Don't get discouraged! Fabrication is fun and it doesn't need to look incredible! I just needs to be functional!
Thanks for watching 👊

My first fab project was a welding table. My third was a bigger welding table.
😂😂😂 I know how that one went. “Yay I got my first table”
* makes something on table
“I need a bigger table”
Lol
what was number 2 ?
@@rodigopizarro9414 how big was the first one and 2nd one
wow that brought back members when i small they say i was 3 when i welded the hud on the old cockshutt tractor we had
Spent 45 years as a heavy duty truck tech and I learn something or see something of interest every time I watch one of your videos. Keep up the great job.
I'm just living vicariously through you. I don't have the tools or the money to buy the tools... Nor do I have a garage in which to do projects like this or to store said tools, if I could even afford them. LOL
Starting out with not much to work with is ruff, that's how I started! I appreciate you showing it can be done working off the floor while you have a bench right there.
Love it. I've been welding a while, not professionally but love watching these kinds of videos. Keeps the creative juices flowing. Thank you.
By far my favorite Jeep/Fab channel. Think the narrative and editing have a good flow and keep the interest going. 👍
Coming from a wood working background and just about to buy my first welding machine so I can fix stuff on the farm. I can’t say how much I appreciate the “small stuff” explanations. Experienced folks take for granted stuff they know and it’s really helpful for us noobs. Thanks!
Nice video. I’ve been welding for years but I’m finally about to buy my first plasma cutter. I’ve used one a few times years ago at a place I used to work for, but I am really looking forward to getting proficient at it. Keep the fabrication videos coming!...love em 👍🏻
Thanks man! I'm a journey man plumber and I forgot I use to lay out using a chalk line on the ground. This just helped for me on my welding fab journey!
Thank you so much for your videos and not sounding like a Chad, You explain everything and you really get things done. I see other welders that try and act like they know it all or like they're trying to compensate for something but you go slow. You take your time and you do it right. Thank you for showing us how it's done. I really appreciate your videos
I was a fabricator professionally for 15 years, but haven't done it since 2008. A few days ago, bought a welder and getting back into it!
Another rad video man! Thank you for breaking everything down on the fabrication segments. It’s cool to see fab from this point of view.
I am glad to see this type of videos, where people do things for themselves so that the apprentices take confidence in them .... good job JKs.. excellent content
Your welding play list should be called "sewing with FIRE!"
Lol I love it
stole it from that old tony fella
Building stuff should be fun and creative. Great quote! thank you for all the help and guidance through your videos.
Your hitting home runs buddy!
I'm currently looking forward very much to my first welding project. So I'm very appreciative of all the little extra tips you mentioned. Great video!
Thanks for sharing!
Nate - as a new comer I want to thank you for this video. This level video is going to make you the go-to-guy for those new to fabrication. I really like your teaching style. Combined with your awesome videography this is the kind of content that is going to set up apart from everyone else in the space. Good luck and safe travels to California!
Great quality on these vids. Pro relevant b-rolls, streamlined editing, no ranting to the camera at one angle for 7 mins.. great
Thank you!
Excellent video! I'm 72 years old, and after being without a shop for 30 years, I finally built one last year. Videos like this are very interesting. And thank God for Harbor Freight!! ;) I bought a multifunction welder, plasma cutter, etc. I also bought a portable band saw, like yours, for my Son for his birthday. Harbor Freight now has a band saw bracket where you can fasten your saw to a table, or even the wall. Keep up the good work!! And thanks for your time.
Thank you making this video we need more people like you.
Thanks man. This is exactly the kinda of info and demonstrations I’m looking for. 👍😃
the bandsaw i a game changer, id recommend that for anyone that wants to get into serious fab work , got my Milwaukee for 180 from a pawnshop, looked like it was never used so it was good for me
This is just what I need to get moving on my projects. Your explain in basic easy steps with good reason and best practices
Thanks
I appreciate you taking the time and sharing that this is a functional item and not a a pretty gussied up item. Don't be hard on yourself and get discouraged to even try because that is exactly what I do and its nice to have a reminder to just do something the best you can and it will work out and you will gain the confidence and experience to build other things even better.
Thanks man! I appreciate it
Been welding and fabricating about 5 years now, still learning everyday. You’re the first person I’ve ever seen mark your centre line the same way as me 😂
Man i just love your tutorials, straight to the point and the cut to the screnes with the voice over keeps the interaction going. Thats just my opinion thou. But mainly enjoy learning new methods and tips as well. Keep up the awesome work man. All the way from Aussie land.
Video was well worth while to watch. These kind of jobs are definitely the meat and potatoes of Fab work. My opinion everything you showed us will translate to other more complex projects. Now the trick is to be able to make more videos that build off what we learned in this video. Great job by the way 😀👍👍
Thanks for the great, detailed video pointing out the small stuff. So helpful for those learning 👍🏼
Great video Nate. It's right at my level of experience. I'm looking forward to the next one.
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. THANK YOU!
Another great video. You are really keeping us wanting the next one! Thanks again for the fabrication tips, they are great!! Keep up the good work!
Saw Low Buck back there with the windshield re-installed. Can't wait to see that video! Gonna be honest, Low Buck is my favorite build on Bleepin' Jeep. No one there ever messes with the classics, so I was super excited when you came along and brought that ole grandpa back to life! Glad to see you contnue on with that build on your own channel. Dig your channel by the way, takes guts to go out on your own and try to build something from scratch, good luck, and know that I am rootin' for ya!
Massive thanks for this video!!! I've been trying to figure out a better way to fab up my fenders for my trailer build... And this showed exactly what I need to do!!! So awesome. Cheers!!!
Great! Sounds like perfect timing 👍. Good luck with the fenders buddy
On those large gaps I like to use a 10 penny nail . It's pointed so it fits right up into the hinge point too. Throw in some center supports and you got some drive over fenders.
What u said at the end really proves how much experienced ur because in fabrication not everything goes perfectly perfect at all.
Your videos and Matt's videos are why I learned how to weld. Very fun to learn. Thanks for making great videos, and I like to learn and watch more of these types of fabrication videos.
Love it! I can’t wait to start fabricating more. I would love to see more like this
Love the way you explain things simply. Your Fab videoes are fab!
This was excellent. I'm new to welding and metal work. It's very cool to see the layout and plan of a project. Thanks for posting.
I'm going to have a lot of spare time coming up and want to get into fabrication with my everlast welder big time. This video is a great help.
Simple and strong design, good work. As always, your videos are awesome. Keep it up.
Your timing is perfect Nate , Thanks my list of projects is becoming longer now I have more inspiration very cool😃
Good job, and thanks for showing how to simply putting it together without taking to much time. Less is more.
Tacking in to the beat. . .love it, great job! Love your work!
Definitely wanna see more stuff like this (and grind/paint/finishing when you're not tired after filming). Finished college last year and only got a small amount of experience so the more knowledge and ideas I can get the better imho.
The tip at the end really hit home. Thanks.
Thank you for posting this Nate and I'm learning from you . Looking forward to your next one .
That welding rod gap fill technique is awesome, thank you! I always tried cutting a tiny piece of metal and try to hold it in place to weld haha. This is way better.
GREAT VIDEO ESPECIALLY the layout and pie cut explanations
More please
Searching your videos soon as this one ends!!
Thanks for these man. You’re making good content, keep on keepin on
Love the tutorials Nate! Great job as always.
Great job Nate! I love the content of your videos. Keep it up!👍🤓
Very nice! Thanks for teaching something for us beginners to start working towards.
Love the work man working on getting material to make my first bumber on my obs f250 🤙🏼🤙🏼 thanks for the knowledge on square tube that’s what I’m working with
Great video! Really enjoy your mix of entertainment and knowledge. Inspiring me to get out in the garage and build stuff for my wife's Libby.
loving the synchronization of the weld pulses and beats.
Lol thanks!
I didn't really learn anything new, but i did get motivated to actually get out and start/finish my trailer.
I’m doing my first project this weekend. Maybe not fabrication but I’m putting caps on my tj frame to fix some rust issues. First welding project.
thank you for this video. popped up while i was trying to decide how to build my first bumper for my jeep. turned out great now i want to build more stuff!
Congratulations! Welcome to the club! Fabrication is somthing that will change your life it you put the time in. I'm happy to help 👍
Just bought my first MIG.... great video... I'll be watching more , easy to follow.... Thank you
Loved the outro speech! Very inspiring. Fine stuff 👌
Good looking basic project. Reminds me that I need to make a new ramp for my trailer.
The old cutting oil on the flap disc trick! Damn I've been doing it for ages. Legend, thanks for your vids.
I'm hooked, I've welded a little thru the year's but im in the process of picking a welder so i can start building stuff.. Great video, i can't wait till i can finish my garage!!!!
"Fill the void thats left over" okay drugs and women never did that but you taught me how
This was an awesome video. Well put together and great narration. Great level of detail and skipping things that can be found on channels elsewhere. Awesome.
Your a good teacher Nate, thank you!👍
I am working on my first fabrication project for my 95 YJ. Sorry for this kinda cheesy comment, but....this is exactly what I was looking for...this is the best CZcams video I have ever watched!!! No joke. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! I'm glad to see my videos are helpful 👍
I learned a lot from this video, straight forward, easy to follow and understand. Subscribed!
Thanks Brother. Great share. Learned some neat little tricks!
Awesome!! vid!! thank you! love these videos. The production this is on point. Sometimes we forget that this one man team. Thanks nate
Thank you very much!
This is the perfect video for me because I'm just starting to use my everlast welder to make some projects.
Great! I'm happy to help 👍
I really liked the way you drew the layout on the floor. Great idea
Great video Nate. Basics are the key to success.
Great video Nate! I'm new to welding and fabrication. Something I struggle with is determining material thickness to suit a project. Could you do a future video on what goes into that decision process? Most of my projects involve Jeeps, and I'd eventually like to be able to build myself custom suspension.
Good job, on both the build and the editing. I liked how the weld hits went with the beat of the music @ 11:11+
What i liked about this video was the measuring and marking out on the tube
Yeah Buddy, ok Nate this is just what I needed, I am that guy. I got a multi process welder and now I am trying to learn how to use it. Looks easy but not so much, I'm sticking metal together but it aint pretty seems like I spend more time grinding than welding. Focusing on flux core wire cuz I don't want to waste money on gas till my skills improve some. Trying to fabricate some type of rack for the jeep so I can haul my wife's kayak fairly light yet removable.
You are very easy to learn from your videos are so educational. Thank you
I love your video! Great instructive!
Starting my own business fabricating odds and ends. Have taken a lot from your channel. Thank You!
I'm glad to hear it! Good luck with your new venture!
Good video can’t wait for more like this! Thanks
Very cool! Perfect video for me where I’m at.
Thank you for making this vid...you explain the small details that other fabrication videos leave out..subscribed
Thanks buddy 👍
Awesome tips Nate. Completely practical and 'do-able' and nice toes you admit a mistake...makes you 'human' and just like 'us'...not everyone is so honest when producing youtube content. That in itself is a confidence booster...makes me want to go and burn holes in things (gotta start somewhere). Enjoy California..
Thank you! This is exactly what I was going for so it's good to see it being well received 👍
Man, you are putting out all the right motivational vids! This makes me wanna get my shit together and fix my welder and get to it 👍 Well done Nate, keep them coming and have fun @ KOH!
Nice... I've been sticking metal for quite some time now... nice video my man keep them coming
Fantastic content. Loved this 🙏🏻
FANTASTIC!!
that was crazy helpful. answered a question i had been wondering, to make non-90deg angle pie cuts. Once the snow goes now I feel able to make the bumper I want for my liberty. :) Thanks man!!!!
I subscribed. Perfect channel for me to get into fabrication!
Great video. I’m a beginner and your advice and tips were great and easy to follow. 👍
As the song goes...every move you make...every step you take...I'll be watching you. Great video hoss!
Dude...your post production is sick! I think it's the unsung hero of your content.
Thank you brother I really appreciate it👊
Nate, You pegged me to the wall again. I really appreciate you starting this series, FAB for NEWBIES, I soak this stuff up and never get tired of it. To show my sincere appreciation you now have another Patreon supporter.
Thank you very much! I'm happy to help and I appreciate your support 👊
Great beginner stuff Nate, thanks for the sweet content.
I like it. Simple instructional video for beginners.
shoutout from a fellow Washingtonian....those fenders are awesome....!!
Great info, thanks Nate!
