your video's have helped me greatly in the shop i'm hoping to fly out for a course some day your skill is much respected sir!
Awsome video bro! Straight to point and commentary is spot on! Definitely will be tuning into more videos! Keep up the good work!👍

Very clean. I miss welding. Just don't miss doing it in a huge factory environment. I look fwd to your projects and videos. I subscribed !!
I revel at your bevel
As an (ex) jig designer I would have drilled straight through the main square of the tube and put the bolt all the way through before welding. That would insure the bolts are parallel. Just welding the bolts on may result in a mechanical lock if the bolts aren’t square on. Nice welding. Very neat.
nice clean work!
Thanks, Tony!
Wow that is saying something, i have high regards for Tony.
@@beto798 same here!
Cool to see TOT here
I totally enjoy watching someone with real skills fab something like this. His welding skills are very impressive as well.
Awesome stuff!! I would be interested in an episode on the calculations for how to determine the metal type and size! Can't wait to see the upper control arm!!
I've been a machinist for 45 years , and bought a Lincoln Tig machine in 2005 and have had a blast with it . Since I have been watching TFS I've been making some pretty good money with it. My observation on this video is that you would make a good machinist.
Great job as always. I've always wanted to perform this type of joint weld with my everlast tig welder but never had the confidence to make the necessary parts.
Love the fact you go into detail about everything you do. Thank you
Fabulous work ! I’ve been a welder / fabricator for 3 decades. I wish I was as good as you.
First time I've seen one of your videos, and am certain you are going to have a LOT more subscribers. I wasn't even interested in the project, and you were interesting and informative. Thanks for posting!
Awesome episode. Can’t wait to see next episode with the upper control arm build. Thanks for inspiring us and simplifying the details along the way.
I have to say you have inspired me to make my own part for my car. I thank you for that. Keep up the good work.
The welding technique videos and product reviews are great but these are the videos that got me started with TFS in the first place. Great content, can’t wait to see the control arms.
Fast, clear and precise. Detail is impressive too. Thanks much.
Some of the finest welding I have ever seen. Well done
@15:26 HWTH!!! Outstanding work, thanks for the video. It brought me back a few years.
These are killer videos. Thank you sir! I’ve been learning how to tig and watching tons of your videos man.
Man those "dummy bushings" beat my tube and washer trick all day. That would be super nice. Good vid man!
This is the first video of yours i watched, really inspired me to learn to tig. Keep em coming!
BRILLIANT... real world challenges, and craftsmanship solutions!!!
I appreciate the fact you call beginners "hacks" No one is a welding God. Some are just really experienced, plus naturally talented. Fun to watch bro.
Ops.. I meant how you don't call them hacks.. stupid proofreading. Fuck.
Worked in fab shops for forty-five years, heavy duty, nice job, glad the video is over so you can take a breath from talking .
Timeless craftsmanship
Why is this so mesmerizing?
Just subbed. Your channel came up on my suggestions. Your technique and narration are easy to follow. Excellent camera work!👍
Yep, voice over is much better for a 'teaching' video
Another beautiful job !
Thank you very much for your time and knowledge. Awesome video, instructions, clarity, & not condescending. Keep up the great work. I will share your channel.
nice , you do a good clean job, very clear instructions and no big hyp. enjoy watching, nice weld to mate,
This a great video for Jeeps and other 4X4s to fab up your own long arm kit. Thanks Justin.
I just found this video today and liked the fast paced clear explanation. Subscribed!
By far the best video ive seen on fabricating these brackets..Thank you
That's badass custom parts are really motivating great job keep up the good work
metal fab and welding is a beautiful art form this is awesome vid man thanks! hoping to fly out for a course some day
Know this is an older video , wanted to say I was really impressed . I have tig welded for years and I've never saw on where you could expose so much tungsten ! This cup is really impressive and I would like to order a few for where I work ! The helmet looks to be an Optrel as well ( my personal pick ) ! Will be binge watching now to see how this all goes as well ! New Sub
You are a good communicator and very skilled fabricator.
Damn I love watching you weld! Those beads look so good. It's funny what you start to look at and take notice of, once you've taken-up TIG welding. Things that you've never really noticed before, just by watching a welder do their job. Pretty welds! Thank you for sharing!
"Now equippped with more molecules!" Too funny!
Fantastic looking work!
Excellent video and camerawork . Thanks
Thank you for ur class. I appreciate how u explain things better n with clear video. Hope to see more. Great work. Now im going to practice at my job.
Nice work man great process and time taken for detail
Nice Job! I like smaller work that i can manage on the table. Lately everything i'm doing is massive! Good work Justin!
I see that! I'm kinda jealous that you have all that space haha. I need to make my CNC machine disappear.
Again.....Very Impressive!!! Makes me miss working in the machine shop/race shop when I was younger.
always learn something, and I love seeing project videos
Dude... Your welds are f’n’ works of art!!!!!
Very nicely made clean and strong
Ruffstuff Specialties sells some baller tube bungs for square tube, I think with those you wouldn't have the issue with the corner gaps. When I built my three link on my Jeep I heard horror stories of the rod end threads seizing in the bungs from heat so I coated them with antisieze before welding. Awesome video, I like seeing some suspension Fab on here!
Another awesome job! Can’t wait to see the rest.
That turned out great. A lot stronger than the original.
you do some seriously awesome work!! im a machinist but have limited resources at home,i would love to build up my trans am to elite status. the crappy roads in my area would make a bagged setup ideal to get the right stance in the right situation.
Great video and I love watching you build stuff .
I really like the videos like this ! I can't wait to see the next !
Awesome job. Love the fab videos and getting to see how other people go about a job.
Brilliant work bro...
The term Fabricator doesnt do your work justice. You brother are a metal molecule artist. A true natural born artist.
Nice job a super clean welds
Excellent work friend I stayed in one piece to see the quality of the welding I loved it I only have an inverter welding machine. Greetings from Chile
Excellent video Justin, very nice work! Cheers, Doug
This is beautiful work... keep it up boss
I very much enjoy your fabrication series.Thank you. You said Jig 17 times on part 1custom 4 links. Cheers.
Damn nice, reminds me of implement attachments I’ve built, nice and heavy. 😁👍🏻
This is art!..............incredible work!👍🏽
Nice work. My instinct for a threaded pin is to measure what 5 thread engagement is near the end, then split the remainder in half for the adjustable portion/initial location before adjustment. Locknuts can put a pretty good load on mating surfaces, so having only 2 or 3 threads engaged is just trouble waiting to happen.
Nice work , very clean
Your videos are just amazing dude, keep it up!
Excellent fabrication, excellent explanation of process. 1st video I've seen.
AWESOME SERIES.
Nice fab work Justin .......
Fantastic commentary Justin.
I been focused on just the welding videos, I forgot your one hell of a fabricator.
Great video. Can't wait for the control arm video! Thanks
Great video and a lot of really good information
You've been a great help to me.That's great.👍👍
Cover them ways on your lathe boss!! It won’t be happy with that dust getting in between your tailstock and the ways itself as well as your saddle Love your videos 👍🏿 when does apprenticeship start?
Awesome welding! Cant wait to learn to tig! Great video!
That was fun to watch... thanks for posting.
Good job. Achievements to you 👍🏻
Excellent work mate 👍🏻 Rich 🏴
I like this video. I liked the craftsmanship and the weldmanship. 👍
Wicked impressive job Brother! Agree completely, the weave is a very pretty weld & why not show it off, really dig a pretty weld haha! They ought make some seriously beefy strong links, thanks for sharing the build with us.
Very nice, very clean.
Awesome work !!! Keep it up
Great work! Thanks for the video!
Great vid! Always learn so much from your content. Question, why did you go with bushings over Johnny Joints? Ride comfort?
lovely work.
Love your videos and love those awesome clean welds. Cheers 🍻
Justin , I might have a tip for you when you use emery cloth on your lathe. I was taught to lay a rag on the lathe bed ways when using emery cloth. The reason being that the grit on the emery cloth comes off while your using it and it sticks on the oiled bed ways. Then when you move the saddle or tail stock on the bed ways with grit on them you will start to sand down the bed ways and will start to create a swayback or low spot. This will make the lathe untrue in its future. Just an observation from a fan in Alaska.
Thanks Justin.. your so flippin good at this.....and entertaining too!
That’s awesome to see. I just went through the same thing with my 63 Cadillac Ditched the upper section and triangulated the upper arms the opposite way from factory. I searched everywhere I could trying to find any information on 4 links for 59-64 Cadillac’s and couldn’t find a thing.
Oh your buddy will find a whole new problem once the geometry is corrected. I found it the hard way👍🏼
Brilliant welding
Love watching this stuff!
Dam, I learned things they never tought in welding school! Good Job.
Thank you for this cool teaching, it's the best💯
Just found your channel! Nice work and instruction, thank you
Wow amazing work and keen to see more. Subbed
Incredibly job!!! Well done!!! Thanks for video!!!
Awesome work.
Excellent video
They actually makes bung end that is square to drop in a makes a tight fit so u don’t have to fill the corners but looks good
