    this brings back good memories, just watching Jesse.. when i was young i used to stay at my dads, and my dad used to build hot rods and bikes for living. i just have good memories of sitting on a Friday night, getting takeaways, then watching Jesse James during the night! early 2000s, i was 13 or so. my dad has passed away for just over two years ago now. so this was super cool for me to see this. i hope more gets uploaded on youtube

    I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching Jesse James do what he does with metals and fabrication. His passion for what he does is becoming more of a lost art every year.
    I am actually teaching my kids how to weld and do woodworking because I think they are skills that come into play at some point in life and 98% of people don't have the slightest clue as to what or how to accomplish some of those skills when needed.

    USAF taught me to shoot rivets and fabricate sheet metal.
    I would love to be doing that again instead of delivering food.
    Me and another Sgt. made lots of travel pods for F-16s. Making floors, doors, backing plates that had to be machine roles to fit inside empty napalm pods. Rivets all through the night. It is a blessing to be able to work with your hands.
    Watching you work with metal is always a joy.
    My oldest son loved watching Monster Garage with me years ago. He now works in a fabrication shop for Viking manufacturing in Phoenix.

    As a guy who does riveting on fighter jets everyday as a job, i can also say its a skill that is being lost. As companys role in machines that do what hands use to do, the skill is being lost. But its an awesome skill, as it can be used from aerospace, to automotive, even i the tech industry, to just making art.
