Jesse James Austin Speed Shop - Fenders

[Music] [Music] [Music] this place is called Austin speed shop it's just a custom car shop you know we specialize in like old-style craftsmanship and stuff that's timeless today I've never felt better about myself and where I am in life because I've eliminated everything that's not working on cars or motorcycles and that's truly what makes me happy back in the early 90s when I was working for performance machine you know motorcycle building and custom bike building wasn't really a profession once came up with a product which was the fenders and started making him then it may 28 cents to everyone and help my business grow so we're gonna make some fenders it's kind of cool because my whole business like really took off when I started making fenders and I refined this whole process of metal spinning them in halves and then welding them together and like you know I made the first big fenders for like Fat Tire Harley's back in that early 90s you know we did that process forever for better part of 20 years and then now we've kind of you know now but making I don't even need to do it like that I can make them you know as I've learned more and more metalwork I can make them just by flat sheet you know and so I figured we should do one with like out of aluminum for my little knucklehead you know pretty simple stuff to do but you know this is something that people can learn you know as they get more tools and better stuff in their garage they can learn how to do it so in the last year at the speed shop it's like kind of I've kind of like managed from afar and just given blips of advice here and there but now I've stepped in and kind of taken an active role in managing the place and giving it structure and basically helping push those guys and let them you know they don't know how hard they could be working trying to get projects out the door and just I don't know I can only sit back and watch so long and like I just want to push them and keep getting cool stuff out there so I'm good at making crews work working with Jesse's been really cool I've been picking up a lot of small things and big things I mean the more things you can do with one tool like opening up more more options when put building something instead of like doing it one way that I've always done it now there's like a few more so getting a job done faster it's gonna be easier or like figuring out how to make a part in one piece instead of like to maybe stuff like that oh yeah he's a good teacher guys like him almost don't even have to teach just being able to sit next to him you pretty much get to see his process and how Jesse like goes about doing things and like almost what you focus on the most and what you're like end product is and like the ways to get there and like just your little techniques that you picked up over the years and years and years I busted that out of like a hour and a half the other night why is it all rusted this is a rusty piece of metal in the yard why don't you clean it before you do it that dude just spent like three days so four days I started wrestling again just wanting to practice making an edge over the English me looks good when you build a boat it'll be good for that boat trailer alright so I figured where's your practice piece a to try to impress the teacher I'm gonna do like a wire edge yeah we could do wire edge on one did we really want yeah okay that's seven I'll show you how to hear it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] take that wiring out [Music] it looks like it's like wasn't machining or something [Music] it's like a front fender off of something that's why I have the double dip on it yeah triumph or something British crap on an American bike [Music] [Music] [Music] does that mail marks on should be all right we can anneal it we don't have a radius gauge duty that's why I was wondering Fiat alone yeah cloth tape a cloth tape measure oh I have one okay so will best will measure this thing first pull it out of your utility belt yeah [Music] this tire is pretty square which I don't want even want to entertain making it square because I'll probably change it to a nicer radial tire I just want to get like how much coverage we need so right there is about 10 inches of material you know giving it about an inch coverage and you know for car tires and bike tires this is kind of level stack our profile bike tire but the averages they grow 5% and overall let's drive it yeah so that's a rule of thumb so if this thing you know just equal if it's 28 inches tall then 5% of that is how much it's gonna grow I usually set it a minimum 3/4 you know but the cars you can set a little bit tighter but if the tire pressure gets low that thing's gonna oblong you know like a Top Fuel tire and it'll burn the paint or kill the fender bikes you also got to consider to that to get it on get the chain on you have to be able to slide it forward you know and then then have a certain amount of justement so you probably need a little bit more clearance in front than you do at the visible gap you know I always cheat you know all I'll fit it super tight here so it looks like it's a close fit and leave the sides long and then I'll adjust it and then I'll take a cent I'll take a scribe off the axle and I'll cut the sides out so it looks like it's fit perfect and tight but it has extra gap in the front so the fender will be 1 radius and then the actual side cut out will be offset and I cheat like that so it looks like it's super super tight and it's got you know when you're standing at the back of the bike it's like right on the tire like man that looks good but really it's got plenty of room around there so you can adjust it or if the axle loosens up it [ __ ] the wheel or something it doesn't kill it so you know that's the factors you got to think in you know so we'll go a little extra length so 28 inches and then probably go 29 so we have extra wing for the half-inch flap so what are we 11 by 29 so do you want to cut a piece 11 inches by 29 inches and then we'll anneal it up and we'll start start shape and I'll show you guys how to figure in the radius so 11 by 2029 yeah yeah use the use of the 2 available edges you know basically just 29 by 11 inches when you use this straight edge over here it basically gets it square on the corner of the piece so all I have to do instead of like marking it a couple times and then putting a straight edge on it I'm pulling it across I can just use this angle right here and I know it's straight are you doing upside down cutting it pretty straight given [Music] because it's upside down they're all finally caught uncle [Music] [Music] we're gonna cut them corners off anyway [Music] you and neo aluminum you got stick it in water after you can't [Music] so we put that [ __ ] on there you know the trick the suit burns up right at the temperature point when this becomes soft so but you got to be careful though because it's only about another 100 degrees before it melts I haven't really got the opportunity to work a lot of aluminum so it's really nice to see how it like how it moves and stretches I've worked copper before and it's kind of almost closed because you can anneal it it'll start to turn like a little yellow once it it gets ready to melt annealing basically what you do is you heat it up like we were doing and all the molecules in the metal pull apart and it's like all those metals a lot of the non-ferrous metals they separate really easy their bonds aren't as strong like on a chemical level so when you heat it up it spreads it out and then you cool it with water and since you're cooling it with water it freezes the molecules pulled apart so you can basically like move the metal with your hands almost that's official hot so is there a difference between air cooling it and water um when you kneel it doesn't it'll freeze it in a cool position so you can anneal it you can quench it doesn't doesn't affect it at all so aluminum is way different than steel in that fact so it's really cool to be able to work it and learn it from a guy he's done a bunch of times before [Music] that's good thanks magic so we can put that on there and see no obviously no problem with the the long way radius you know it's just pulling the sides down but we don't want to start with it like this because when we then when we shrink the sides the sides will pull it in even more and then our radius will be too tight you know and then we'll have to open it up which internal like open this up you know which is a lot to understand but you'll see so you know really want to start we can give it a little bit of head start but we really want to start but it almost flat pull these sides so we get this compound curve so this whole thing no bends like this curves this way and then curves this way so it fits on the tire I'm pushing this down a little bit to get it going in the right direction you know so you can see that's pulling that down a little bit but what will happen is we're only affecting this area right here probably the first two inches so that's gonna leave this you know kind of flat it'll have a little bit of crown just from the metal being affected but it's not gonna have like a big radius like we want so we got to go in farther so we'll start taking some bites we're using that little old forming tool you know and it's it works pretty good it's you know and like I mean it's an awesome machine I mean if that's all you have you're doing pretty good you know cuz it kicks ass over any other like shrinker that I've ever had the echoed shrinker it has two dies that pinch in and they press together and they grab the metal and then they move towards each other so it goes down and parent so just grabs the metal drags it in making shrinking it making it thicker and making that outer dimension smaller and that gets it to curl over once we get it kinda radius so I'm pushing each one I'm pushing down you see the little bump so I go down and then all I want to do is get it to about ninety once we get it to 90 you kind of want to stop because that's when it's gonna start curling in there there [Music] feel how hard it is so shrinking and backs almost like not work Harding it but well that it grabs it with those teeth and then drags it together so you know and you know it's it's kind of its like the optics forcing it you know a hammer is compressing it into shape and this is like dragging and you know both ways work but this will get work hardened to where it just won't move anymore which is kind of good because it's slower a hammer we'll just as soon as it gets work hard and it'll just split the metal you'll need to do the center because it's only really work hardened to where we right forward and pretty much when you anneal it it basically stays a meal then till you work harder into a certain one right [Music] you can quench it if you want use those little flat pliers it's that's soft man yeah it's still kind of hard that's a lot closer once we wheel this and pop it up then it'll kind of suck that in even more the English wheel is it's just to die is a radius bottom guy and they have a little contact point and it's just basically pressing you know a line and you like overlap the lines and the line just follows the radius and then that bottom dial dictate what your part radius will end up being when you're using this thing you try to pull like you try to keep it with the shape of the roller right yeah you go straight in straight out because if you pulls up the mote middles are to arc it all right you know the best thing to do is get low so you can see it you know that way cuz going this way you know unless you're like rolling an edge or something which you rarely do you don't ever want to kink it or push on it or you don't want to help it like you do it the shrinker you're just gonna yeah what we might do is cut it weld it together pull it in cuz we got nice sides that's a nice shape for that kind of tire and stuff so and the wheel you know I'm pretty I that's what I started off on I was the English wheel guy for 10 years for a decade before I switch to power hammer and so I'm really really proficient at it and can like really wheel pretty great but man us a lot of work it was like sweat man the whole trick to this is just steering it man-cakes takes a while to learn how to steer an English wheel you know and the best thing to do at first is just go super slow you know I'm just going in a zigzag pattern [Music] yeah looks good right there looks pretty symmetrical too I mean these are kind of messed up but once we wire the edge then it's no it doesn't pull it in it just makes it so it stays you could put it right where you want and bam you know that's good if you guys want to let's measure and see where we're at so we're at 10 cut three and a half out of the center you'll lose a quarter-inch when you cut it so cut it down the center and then cut an inch and a half on each side and that'll give us with six and a half and then while we have it apart then we'll we'll put it in the plainest here and kiss these sides a little bit and just take a little bit of the harshness out of it and then I'll show you how to do a rib we'll do a rib down the center maybe some kind of little design or something it's a good way of marking the center on this just eyeball it dude no don't even try to like don't break out rulers or anything like that just whatever feels good [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Luke you know he's so quiet and so like subtle demeanor you know but he's like really really good fabricator and really really open to like input and suggestions and he wants it you know he wants to do the best job possible and like you know he's gonna be one of the best I feel one day I love Magic Man he's like such a like bright shining like he's just like wants to learn everything and the fact that he made that little flat fender piece on his own to practice you know it's like he's thinking and he's reading and he's looking at everything and like magics getting there he's really good he's he's getting broad you know and he's not just fabrication you know he's like Motors and trans and doing blacksmith work and he just kind of wants to try it all I think didn't you just spend way more time with them and you know try to teach him and give him everything I have you know [Music] [Applause] almost looks right on already you can tell I've done that before how I nailed the gap and radius like just by eyeballing it by how much what effects that is by how much I step it and pull it down as I step it cuz I'm like basically making it an octagon shape because I go deep and [ __ ] and then pull it out of the half a stroke and more half a stroke more half a stroke more so that octagon shape is what determines this radius will come in tomorrow and will be that remember we'll do it out the house where it's cooler will beat it and then do the wire edge and then should be good to go let's drive my 71 440 CUDA now I'm here in Texas with all these country roads man it's better to have a big-block Mopar with the five-speed wha people want to apprentice well I get like written letters emails Facebook MySpace Twitter every possible way that people can get to me and wanna like come and have me teach them stuff you know the the only way to see the real value in my skills is to give them away I get to work and like realize what I know how to do and show people I want to see this trade thrive and go back to the 40s were you know craftsmanship and pride and hand making something had a value you know and I think it's all about this it's your hands and using your hands and giving yourself a sense of self pride it feels good to do it as fast as I do it you know and like it gives me an opportunity to like realize I guess how how skilled I am and how lucky I am Tabb the skills I have and you know it's I'm not the greatest metal worker in the world because I'm still learning and I'll I'll keep learning and keep trying new things till the day I die and so hopefully I can keep passing that on [Music] cool so we got these pieces ready to go we can go turn this edge so we'll put the put that be down the center maybe get some fancy and then put a wired edge and then we'll weld it back together we should be cool [Music] just pretend like that's the fender if you invest in good quality tools they will last forever if you take care of them and maintain them right like my beading tools and stuff like that I've had since I worked at Boyd's start with this thing as close as you can get it so where it'll still fold so about the thickness of the piece of material put it in there get it to touch and count because we're doing two pieces so you want the both to be the same step so one two so that's one revolution and I'm holding it up you'd rather do it on a test piece then take your nice pretty part you just spend a lot of time on they go oops I always keep this thing loose so I can always get my body like kind of comfortable position you always go in a direction where you can you can see the line and you can see where the dyes are hitting it so to have so that's not much of a radius you know that's like kind of just apparent yeah so how I get a bigger radius let a little bit of slack out you know let this so just remember your inch and a half on the first one or one and a half turns on the first one but you only go one on your first pass yeah then you go another half turn and clean it up and then one turn on the second step you don't want to cuz that's digging into the metal ceiling we want to do one shot you don't want to make a bunch of patent make as minimal passes as you can so it doesn't dig a hole you have to file out but the cool thing about this if you if you get a wobble in it or something just stick it in the planishing hammer and hammer it back flat and then start over you know instead of trying to like dig deeper push it or whatever [Music] okay you want to go to next one see real quick Luke we might want to go a full turn because it's not [Music] you only looks good the most important thing is to remember your turns because like when you if you forget it and you'll have one it's like the wrong step or you know does it get stronger does it feel what's that yeah little little strength action to it it's getting there it sucked it in a little bit because that took a little bit of material but well when we come push it down and it'll should go right to the right spot [Music] on that edge will this tune that up by hand you normally just try not to worry about yeah it'll come well that looks good [Music] just wondering but you think you could do that on a piece that's connected like if this was just one fender just oh well we wouldn't be able to get it in the machine if it wouldn't I am being through here stuff that's why it's good to cut it it's cutting in half gives you good like opportunity to like detail stuff you know [Music] I did that mostly just to clean it so clean that edge before we weld it you know where you get the stuff to like hold chemicals right do you supply store as women put all kinds of crazy in their hair that's the only thing that will hold up to like acetone and lacquer thinner yeah just make sure clean and make sure you take that when they kiln this stuff you know when they it has like a finish on it this does it well it like to weld through so you got to make sure you take that course scotch brite and go through that get that finished off of it well it's it's pretty much the standard deal you know we could gas weld it but something like this there isn't super hypercritical leaking and we don't have to do any shaping you know gas welding is good if you have to do some shaping after the fact and it has to stay malleable this can be stiff and strong as we want it and doesn't really matter [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Seiden seen him back together yeah almost looks like a fender yeah beat doesn't let you know [Music] I always sand those tax down you know never weld over the tax unless it's like a super flat one cuz then it'll like camel hump you know cuz metal add more metal where there already is some and you know it's like the one good thing about that bead too is it holds the thing in place you know it doesn't it won't warp it up it'll stretch it and move a little bit but it pretty much locks that weld right there so you could just sand and you know kiss it just to finish it [Applause] [Music] it's kind of good to shape it right now - after you all this is so hot yeah and it's really easy to move around well it's good it fits this wheel perfect so that's all we got to do is finish that centerpiece and then fold you know roll the edge and then mount it [Music] took a little drive out to Marble Falls right by my house they had lake fed drag boat races I'm into anything with the giant motor in a little tiny vehicle when I first started building bikes I had a friend of mine Kenny that raced he had a Top Fuel boat I was kind of around it quite a bit and his friends and the other racers and I think that's I pulled a lot on my style for building bikes out of drag boats cuz it's like that you know it's a big fast race vehicle but it's super detailed and nice and it's kind of showy you know and I kind of like that it's cool to make something fast like the Space Shuttle and it's all military-grade and you know purpose-built but it's kind of neat to do something fast and it's functional but also with a little bit of flair you know make it make it you know sweet looking you know [Music] [Music] and I've kind of been thinking like over the last year so is building the cool little lake boat you know I have a pretty bitchin little like you know 640 don have been blown big block it would be perfect on a little boat I don't know following a race it but be cool to just have it - blip around the lake on tell someone came up next to me then it's on [Music] I took my son Jesse James jr. he likes to do this type of stuff and trip out on weirdo people and like it's just fun to do stuff with him bonding Top Fuel time that's the first time I've kind of like since I moved to Texas it's the first time I've went to anything that's kind of like my people you know like and I don't know everybody was really nice and you know I think I've like kind of backed away into my own little corner here in my shop and not really been out and about too much [Music] [Music] I saw everything I wanted to see was cool hanging out in the pits I liked the pits better than the racing almost I just like to see all that stuff being worked on and you know just I don't know I like being around that stuff I feel it really at home and like like that's where I belong you know and everybody like kind of made me feel really welcome you know [Music] it's like drag boats and tractor pullers they like polished up anodite and you know like Top Fuel cars and drag cars it's all like purpose-built they'll put a nice paint job on it but pretty much everything's utility you know it's like military finishes and dura coated and everything is built to like last and not really look good drag boat guys man they're kind of like pimps they like pop Keith black big-block you know Hemi motor all polished and anodized fittings to match and it's just like my type of stuff yeah like soon as I hear like a big motor with the straight pipes like they instantly like get goosebumps I think it's like some kind of drug for me [Music] so we got this welded and kind of like squashed into shape so now we just got a metal finish should make it pretty you know and then do all of our details like a doubled edge and put a reinforcement on the back will probably rivet something and then show kind of half how to mount it you know and how to space it out [Music] [Music] that's good yeah the only problem I see is is it's this is dipping down a little bit yeah I can talk so which have to like try to address that a little bit this thing's like what it's like leaning this way a little bit that could just be from the angle it was fed through the machine I'm not overly concerned with it but you know I think well it's so slight that once it's on the bike and once the edge is once we put the edge on it and even it up and this is all smooth and I don't think you'll really notice it but I noticed that that they were holding ones holding it a little higher than the other and so just that little bit will affect it but it you know and there's no way to correct that unless you have like some kind of like gauge to make sure they both hold it at the exact same you know way god you guys [Laughter] [Music] I was seeing how close it comes to the chain if we need to jog that in a little bit I think we do the only problem with this the only thing that I that bums me out about that whole type of shrinker method is just the surface kills it you know because there's no really way to get that stuff out of there you could plane the ship but it's still gonna leave grooves then there's no real way to get that out of there except for sanding it you know which removing material which is it's okay [Music] yeah that except for that very edge that stuff knocks that right out except for that extreme you know edge but we're gonna roll most of that away do you guys just want to remember to you know the only way to get something smooth is to use flat use flat surfaces you know that right like start off with a file you know that'll a file will find all your high in low spots that's pretty straight other than the surface disruption where it sanded it you know where it grabbed it and pulled it in on itself pretty straight you can fill that stuff a little bit we could file it and get it all out but I think for that bike that's presentable you know and the more we file it the thinner the material gets you know I actually kind of like seeing that tire stripes yeah cuz then it like then you could tell how oh I could look right at it and know how someone made it [Music] just like that you know where you only see the you know where you have a consistent amount of you know sand scratches and you're not seeing any of the low spots you know I'd stay away from that you know you can kiss that lower edge just address a bit that's gonna get folded anyway and sometimes that's what metal works about is like showing some restraint and you could push so hard and do so much and keep doing these steps and stuff but sometimes it's like you got to realize when it enough is enough you know when it's done use the table so it's you're digging into the metal not because that thing if this thing's moving this thing isn't doing this needs to be locked down so that's like working it a lot of what inspired me is videos like this it was like monster garage and all those I was like I just watched so many of those shows and so many videos as much as possible gonna just go out and like put my own spin on it and try to like learn as much as I could like they'll actually like doing it instead of watching the things you just get the ideas from watching them learn other people's processes but it's just something inside you that really like makes you really want to do it you want me to show you how to get those low spots out Oh dark spots what if sander doesn't hit or basically all those spots it's kind of like if you bond to a car they use different color primer and different color bondo so when you sand through the different colors show you where all the low spots are at so this you just see a darker piece of the metal basically when I lived in California I was kind of almost one of my dreams is I call what if I could get enough to work at West Coast Choppers or like learn something from him you know so I was actually like these videos actually mean a lot to me it's kind of like it's pretty much a dream come true it's like things I used to watch they like basically inspired me like now I'm doing and it's still inspiring me like even more and hopefully it helps other people go through the same thing this is the bull's eye pick so if you have a low spot on metal this will you'll put it in this little half circle in the center and you just pull on it from the bottom side it'll hit right underneath where your bull's eye you know get in there and really dress the metal you know put some muscle behind it good looks good it's just isn't it like once you put a finish on something doesn't it changes your whole perspective on it you know so that's where we're gonna end up we'll scrap the inside of it but you guys can see so that's where we're going to end up so what we have to do is we're gonna just going to go straight along the edge so what we have to do is turn this edge in so it kind of so we end up right where we want to be this this is going to disappear so this is all you're going to see so you're rolled edge should complete that radius to that [Music] [Music] cool so we're ready to roll it so we'll scribe the inside of this half-inch let's do this side first [Music] the smoother you can make this line the smoother that lower edge will be and then it'll cool just like that put that little and it adds like strength but [Music] there how much better that looks Alex taking it anyway you know this is just 10 gauge galvanized fence wire for like chain-link fence for string and chain-link fence same discipline just go a little bit of the time sound like hitting it over and then hitting it down like getting in there as far as I can the best angle and getting it down put like curls onto the wire I'm just clamping it far enough way so I don't see any gap I mean people got all kinds of like gizmos and things to like do this but this is just the way that works without messing stuff up you know it's labor-intensive but you know [Music] it's not how I feel it pretty cool it's the one everybody wants it's pretty awesome so we can mount that all away [Music] pretty much just making a support where we mount the fender to and double it up she basically put another piece of metal under it and rivet it on there who've made this little reinforcement strap we just riveted like a mechanical joint so we didn't warp any of our metalworking and then you know riveted it on so it's super strong magics making another little brat a strap that'll double here [Applause] it's the only tried-and-true method I found for gapping offender a piece some people use like foam rubber or like fuel line you like drape it around the tire and using this method since I wasn't my garage it just works for shop rags folded in fours this is the exact shim for a rigid fender well we just finished finishing the fender and then we put a wired edge on it which makes it really strong and since it's thin aluminum you know is much like kind of structural strength you can give it without material strength then you know it'll help it last a long time especially on something like a rigid frame Harley which is kind of you know vibrates all over the place so it's kind of nice to do something that that's going to be more solid need to make a [ __ ] bar with a grab handle I just took some some half-inch square stock and then drew it out and made it probably like go from like 3/8 down to like quarter-inch [Music] we're gonna weld it together like gorge weld it I think it's awesome it's kind of it's where everything started so it's pretty much you know if you think like all the way back on I don't know I'm not historian but it's got to be at least like a thousand two thousand maybe three thousand years people have been blacksmithing and copper smithing making weapons and whatever they needed so it's kind of it's the origination of like all metal work so basically everything we do now welding everything is derived from that and so on [Music] every time you watch someone do anything especially blacksmithing you kind of just watch what they're doing and pick up little techniques on it I've seen it done before and I know how to do it but I haven't seen anyone in person kind of do the dimples where you put the rivets in cuz once you heat the metal it's real hard to keep it centered because it wants to slide off and you can split the metal so it's kind of cool to watch somebody actually do it so you don't know now is a good technique I always wanted to do a [ __ ] bar with the grab handle and I kind of like I don't know it's a good way to mount it I think it's a good mix like something that's like kind of ultralight racecar aluminum riveted Healey arced and then something that's like hot riveted you know forged iron into shape [Music] I went to Israel almost two years ago and apprenticed with the man named Yuri Hoffy and he's like probably one of the best in the world so I can hear him yelling at me the whole time I was making that [Music] [Music] I love that look with those rivets in those holes like that looks cool [Music] you guys feel like you learned some stuff wiring edge riveting gapping using the shrinker I've got a pretty good range of skills in a couple days yeah there's a lot of small things that I can apply to a lot of things I do every day using the shrinker and working against it that was a cool one doing the wire edge is a good one just kind of little little bit of everything a little bit of each process is uh is always good to do with someone else in you know like how fast you welded the fender that's good to know you know I'm like especially if you have like the tools and experience to straighten it out afterwards you can go pretty fast good job guys appreciate it man you did a great job [Music] I think to realize that something that's this complicated were guys with the vintage bike like you know a old-school Harley chopper you know Delft searched all over everywhere trying to buy the perfect fender and spend $400 for some welded a piece that came off some triumph on eBay that's like old school you know and like they'll have to put so much work in it to make it half cool when you could just won't make one that's ten times better from scratch [Music] [Music] [Music] I just love that it makes it look like it's like a million years old you know [Music] I'm gonna cheat I'm gonna put it back in the furnace and boil it so you can't see where I welded it so it looks like one piece [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah that just heated it up and squished them together so like when the rivets going in and we squish it with all the rivets then it holds it together tight and it kind of keeps it uniform [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and so it's kind of cool to like you know help guys you know instead of just building the same that everybody else's take it a step further and make it your own you know make your own sheet metal and you know don't just buy a try a ribbed fender and a Wasel tank you know go and make your own stuff and then it's your own bike you know it's kind of what I started doing 20 years ago it was just like I got tired of all the in the industry that there was available so I just started making my own stuff you know and I'm still I still won't buy anything I still want to make everything myself [Music] Yuri Hafiz secret lacquered I mix [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] best thing to do man those drill bits like they once they catch rubber there's nothing stopping them so what I always do is like take a piece of metal and bend it and just put it underneath there if you're going to drill a hole in a fender before without taking it off or taking the tire off because it never fails if you don't do that it'll catch and drill right through your new tire [Music] that thing is strong man don't take away just fenders and just making a fender okay well if I need a fender now I can make it no I think that kind of curve and making those those complex you know curves both ways you know that works for a lot of stuff and works for a lot of different applications so I hope they can like visualize that technique and that process into other parts like Luke is working on that 37 zephyra Dan's right now I needs and make inner fender wells and like I didn't say anything to him yet but I hope he realizes that he can use that technique to make a one-sided fender to make those inner fender wells no problem if you like to do metalwork and make stuff and you can find a connection with this then do it [Music] [Applause] [Music] nothing's gonna make you happier than to make something for yourself and be creative and and be able to create something for yourself you know that's the ultimate feeling of like Pride and freedom is to like make yourself something and your hands made it you didn't make money and buy it no you actually made it [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
