I designed and built over 50 homes and countless remodeling jobs and additions and now at 62 started a business restoring classic cars, never too late to reset.
I agree I've been in a poster for over 50 years and 3rd generation and I also build my own hot rods..... Now I'm getting it to remodeling a building vintage buildings
I've been following you for about 5 or 6 years. Became aware of you on "Vegas Rat Rods." I'm 73 years old, and I can relate to your visions. I will be following you as long as I am alive....✌️
Gramma & grandpa, and mom/siblings grew up in Goodsprings. Jacobson was their name. I visited many times as a youngin’ and go back as often as I can. I LOVE GOODSPRINGS! And I’ll be back and I’m 70 now. The Historical Society has helped this town so much, thanks to the lead of Steve Fleming and the ol’timers. Love ya mom and still Love your town.
@@WelderUpVegas my ancestors (Jacobson s and Jarmin’s are in the cemetery along with Farley’s and now Don & Lois Mass. I can’t say I met any other Jacobson’s, yet they’re out of Utah (Mormon’s). Good on you, @WelderUpVegas. 👏
I'm 67 and I understand the feeling of running out of time with all the things I still want to do! one weekend soon I will take a ride out to Good Springs and explore the beauty.
What a joy to see what you are up to. Being a retired auto shop teacher I'm thrilled to see you build a school that would also include living back in the day: water from a well, eating fruit off of the tree, building a wood fire in the stove, doing chores before going to school, and to get a feel of the days that built America. The engine that started my interest in mechanics was a single cylinder Fairbanks and Morse that would power the well when the wind died. We took apart the wood water tank by loosening the band that held the planks together and numbering each plank with spray paint. Hauled the whole thing to our farm in Nipomo California and put it back together. It is still there and working to this day. That single cylinder engine is in a home made tractor that my dad and I made from an old car. My dad was a welder in the Navy for 28 years so fabrication was a love of my life. I will watch and cheer you on in this new chapter of your life!
Holly crap Steve....I'm your UPS driver. I lived in goodsprings and I went to school there and in sandy valley, my teacher still LIVES there in goodsprings.. My MOM tended the saloon and the tumble weed/idlespurs...35 years ago. This sprung my goodspring.. Ill see ya tomorrow...
As a resident - THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was so worried that some city investor would buy this property and just bull doze the history to build some cookie cutter nonsense. I can't say how happy this video made me - wish you all the best and can't wait to see what you do! / Also - thank you for what you said about visitng. We're a quiet town, slow pace, and we like it that way. :)
I can assure you that I will do everything possible to restore the property back to its amazing history to share with those who find interest in it. Thank you for sharing Good Springs with me, it is a great place with very nice people.
I’m all in Steve. This is what I love too. I admire you for not only preserving the past but actually rebuilding it. Always loved your one off vehicle builds. This new project will be epic.
Well said, kids today as so disconnected to reality, I think you are doing an amazing thing for the past where thing just started for out kids who didn’t appreciate it
Good lord I love this video. I can’t wait to see what you do. I love the old Nevada too. My mom had so many relics and artifacts. All from the Hoover dam era.
Do NOT deny yourself the amazing jump into history of having wood cook stove chili and cornbread on cold day. My gramma cooked on wood her entire life. Nothing was better than chicken fried in cast iron or the chili/soup that cooked from daybreak til lunch and hot, fresh corn bread from that oven.
Shame to see the old place go! We used to ride our bikes over there and took pics before we ever knew anything about your show or business. I ran into you to compliment you on one of your builds while you were in a parking lot at a grocery store nearby; me again on my bike, and you a total stranger. Very kind and respectful as well. 52 is YOUNG as long as you stay healthy! I'm working on my 70th year and as active as ever. I do need a little welding done on one of my trailers-- Goodsprings is a cool little place. Rode my motorcycle through before we left Vegas. They seem to treasure their privacy, however...
Wish you the best am59 now, have my grandpas farm he bought in 1934,am very blessed, 6 year old boy and 8 yr old daughter, watch taking trees down , you end up missing them, steve from ohio motorhead metal head for ever
Born in the 60's and raised in Cali. Retired year before covid and moved out of the country because I love Cali in its natural state but cannot stand what has happened to that state and the country. Built my own street rod. Bowhunter. My dad built race cars. About as American as you can be. But I do not recognize the New America. I looked at moving to off-grid locations etc. But you cannot escape everything happening around. you. Look forward to your shows and best of luck to everyone back there. Cheers!
I remember the first time i went To Bodie, California... it was snowing, and it felt very strange, you could almost "see" the people who built it and lived there... No, those kind of places definitely must not die... so I have great respect for guys like you. You will keep the memory alive, and save the place and maybe make it grow, so everyone can see that all that was not in vain... Keep going !!👍
Greetings from down under... Looks an amazing place to be. Will be watching with enthusiasm as you build this dream. All the old home's where I live are being bulldozed, and they're not that old, in favour of new shoe boxes. The new one's really are a blight on the landscape compared to what you're looking at out there.
Awesome to see someone helping Goodsprings! Ride our Can am to the Saloon out there often, hope we get to see your shop someday and meet you! Love your work!
Steve,.have you ever met Eustace from the TV show Mountain Men? I think you'd get a kick out of visiting his place, if the tv show is at all accurate of the property's portrayal. I'll be here watching your project move forward, love this plan!
Without a doubt you are the best kind of hand to have coming off a ranch. The property is not that big, just a large block size. You can send your info to my office info@welderup.com They will keep it on hand.
You would get along great with my brother (mid 60’s). He is retired military and loves and has spent his life researching anything old and with a history. Obsessive but like you it’s what he loves! Keep chasing your dreams and if you can get the younger generation working with their hands more power to you! That’s a challenge in of itself. I myself am a long life gear head. I can’t wait to see this unfold!
Congrats! What a wonderful adventure & vision... Will be looking forward to all the activity, & the documenting of the finds. & since I can't drive (or even ride) for more than short periods, I need someone to share it all with me. Thanx !
That’s cool Steve! We went to Pioneer Saloon at the end of July. Walked around town and saw your new place. No one was around or I would have stopped in.
What I was referring to about Mike Rowe is his foundation that awards scholarships for young folks to learn a craft. He raises lots of money to fund his foundation. I sure see you working with him to teach your valuable skills. All young folks DON’T need collage. Chris
My kid is going to college and he is still in HS and will graduate with his diploma and an Associates of Science in welding. When he graduates this year he is going to a specialty trade school for pipe welding. These are the kind of college degrees our kids need now
Wow your making a Dream come true that’s amazing Steve your a one of a kind Dude I bet there’s a lot of guys that wish they could do half of the things you do and create your awesome bro 😎👍
You built a business in Vegas and got the to increase your brand through TV. However that helped spring board you financially to the new chapter that you are now taking. So far I am enjoying this series and am looking forward to seeing more of the property and rebuild
Pastor at church this morning said something about imagination in his sermon. While I don’t remember his exact words, I’m reminded of your creations Steve. It’s like you never grew out of having a child like imagination. Whether building cool rods or rebuilding a historic town, acting upon your imagination is like acting out childhood games.
Everyone needs a slow it down time in our life's at some point and some just don,t know how to make that happen one they don,t know how or at a point they can,t but as a old man I have very much enjoyed that time life was SIMPLE less STRESS and LIFE SEEMED to have MEANINGS and a PURPOSE as someone who's lived it WELL BOY GIRL WE SURE COULD USE IT AGAIN MAYBE WE WOULD REBOOT TIME AND NEVER EVER WANT TO BE WHERE WE,RE AT EVER EVER AGAIN YES LIKE THAT OLD SONG IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME AGAIN
It's great to see your interest in bringing back some of the history of Goodsprings. It's such a cool little town. If you ever interested in exploring some of the old mines in the area, I'd be glad to take you through a couple of them that are close by. (Or I can send underground photos and videos of them.) The miners pulled a LOT of zinc & lead (and a bit of gold) out of the hills around town. They really are quite amazing. There was a narrow gauge railroad that hauled ore from the Yellowpine mine down to a railhead in Jean. Of course there was a mill just outside of town that processed ore from some of the other local mines. So much history in the area. 👍
I would appreciate hearing the history and knowledge you have of the area. If you would send this message off to my office info@welderup.com giving contact information. Thanks
I like the analogy : I'm circling the drain, in regards to life and time. We're the same age, so I understand how you feel about change. I've lost my family : both parents, 2 sisters and my only brother. I have one sister left who's fighting breast cancer and having suffered so much loss, I've learned that what time we do have on this great planet should be spent doing what we love and making it a better place for everyone to enjoy.
I've always liked your projects , and I'm really digging this side of you coming out , back in the day , the word 'cool' didn't even exist , and you are going back in time and taking everything that they built out of necessity and putting a modern 'cool' twist on every part of it , which is beyond 'cool' , it's ' bad'acid ' man ...
I can appreciate the change. you've inspired me so much over the years from your builds and just how genuine you are as a person. Wish ya best of luck on your next venture.
IM ON DISABILITY AND I RENT FROM MY FRIEND IN HIS BASEMENT. AND 85% I BUILT MY KIT AND ROOM WITH IS RECLIMED STUFF AND ITS COOL AS FUCK!!! I GOING LOVE THIS SHIT YOUR GOING BE DOING DUDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe that all this is the answer that some of us find to get into a simpler time and life style that is very much needed in our country now. The values that have been set aside is really shameful but not forgotten by a few that are willing and able to re start again. Blessings ya'll from a very jealous patriot.😂
Amazing Steve, I can't wait to see all the changes and ideas you have for your new adventure, and when it's all up and running, roll on part 3 😍👏💯🏴. Work hard and achieve what you set out to do only way to get things do, ❤👏💯🏴 .
Steve Darnell, I think this is an awesome project. I guarantee I'll stop out in Goodsprings and check it out. I'm gonna enjoy this channel. My daughter and I bought a house here in Flint Michigan that was built in 1843 and she wants to restore and walk through the house, just takes you back in time
Steve, great vid! If you want to save the willow tree you have to occasionally " top it " because they have a tendency to overgrow from the top killing the tree below .Also keep it away from septic systems ,their roots will go 599 feet searching for H2O .
I'm not sure if Goodsprings counts a being in the desert, but the landscape there looks amazing. And steeped in so much history, it must be such a cool property to own. Good luck with it all.
Steve, your vision is amazing. And I couldn't agree with u more on how everything has and is changing for the worst. There's no work ethic or pride anymore, disgusting. We all have to do more to bring it back and this is your way. Thank you so much for sharing this project, and being you, sharing your vision. 👍👏
Super neat! I love old mining towns and the history in them! One of my favorite places to go in Arizona was a little mining town up in the Bradshaw mountains north of Phoenix called Crown King! It’s totally the Wild West!
Steve your a talalented artist sir all the best with your brilliant historic project , it will be amazing , from ya fan in the UK [ johnnie busterlang]
This is first time I’ve seen any of your stuff since the television show which I believe was canceled, so I only know anymore than what you’re presenting in this video but I like the sound of it. I would’ve really liked to have done something similar myself but I don’t think I’m gonna get there in this lifetime. I pretty much lost everything taking care of a parent with ALZ for 10 years and than a foreclosure sale in the house I’ll I have is most of my tools and equipment and a tiny camper and Jeep that the bank owns. What that was my dream as well.
Our show, Vegas RatRods was canceled. We loved doing the show. Appreciate you following me on RUclips. You made the ultimate sacrifice to make your parents life more comfortable. Hopefully things will get back on track.
Very cool I was in New Brunswick years ago and they gathered up all the old buildings around the Provence and made an old Acadia town. Some of those buildings went back to the 17 hundreds. To go into the town we had to park outside the gate and take a horse drawn wagon in. The town had shops and all of the town was ran like it was back in the 17/18 hundreds. It was very cool. Your vision for such a town would sure be a blast from the past.
Supercool ❤ nothing like a good change, change is healthy…it’s all apart of growth and development my friend. Sure would love to stop by a few days in the town and check it out, learn the history and enjoy the experience.
LoL every time I roll through the desert I don't like it but you sir make me think it's a good idea. My wife has severe R. A. Thinking the climate at the end of ours lives my be good
so cool. i just helped getting a 1935 1 1/2 ton ford running and driving after being parked for 70 year.i got to drive it in a 4 of july parade,it now lives at william s hart part in newhall ca, so iam all in on this channel, good luck
I’m 52 and live in the mountains of NC,but have been thinking about a change. Do you need a ranch hand. I have 5 or 6 cool cars and a wife of 33 years. I think every thing your doing there is going to be bad ass. I love old towns. Atlanta Asheville and Greenville is my city’s and pigeon forge TN is our rod run town. But Steve every thing these days are going sideways. I work mobile mechanic and landscaping. Road house 66 was always a movie favorite of mine and I’ve always wanted to come see your state. Can’t wait to see your town. I need your welding school. I’ve never got good at it mainly because I’ve self taught. Well if you ever come to the Carolinas I will show you around!!! Bye
I sure will, I would love to see your part of the US. If your interested in the welding course leave your information at info@welderup.com. Our part of Nevada is completely different from yours, but Las Vegas is a must see. Pass the strip and 20 miles out South, you will find me.
The day you stop dreaming is the day to pack it up in my view! You definitely have a great sense of direction and it will be great once you get just a little done so then you can see the bigger picture. We are the same age and I still dream big. I know my body isn't that of a 25 year old but I accept that. 3 years ago I sold up and moved from the town where I grew up in and moved to the edge the Lake District in England which is my dream. Just an old land settlement cottage with a little land and garage so now just making it ours. It's also on my list to come and visit you! Take care.
Very cool Steve can’t wait maybe me and my girl will stop by sometime and check it out and if your theater will say hello but on ow we are behind you on this historic journey!😎👍🏻🇺🇸🦅🙏😇🇺🇸
Hey Steve great place I’m from Australia I would love to come up your way and be apart of your lovely property love to do your welding school and learn lots of other skills I’m 52 years old your never to old to learn new things in life I would love to be part of this awesome journey ❤
That's right! Never too old to learn, when your ready contact my office at into@welderup.com They will give you the information you need. Thanks so much for following along. Love Australia but you must see Vegas.
Very cool what you're doing. It must be something to do with getting older because I'm reverting back to a minimalist lifestyle. I'm processing the apples from my orchard for the first time since I bought my place 10 years ago.
I designed and built over 50 homes and countless remodeling jobs and additions and now at 62 started a business restoring classic cars, never too late to reset.
I agree I've been in a poster for over 50 years and 3rd generation and I also build my own hot rods..... Now I'm getting it to remodeling a building vintage buildings
The problem with restoring cars is letting them go! Sign of an artist!
Nobody cares
@@justinhansen7914 your jealousy is a female quality.

My parents were both school teachers at the Goodsprings school in the 1950's, mom had the sweatshirt until the 70's

Excellent
Good to see that someone cares about history, and saving it for future generations
What a joy to see what you are up to. Being a retired auto shop teacher I'm thrilled to see you build a school that would also include living back in the day: water from a well, eating fruit off of the tree, building a wood fire in the stove, doing chores before going to school, and to get a feel of the days that built America. The engine that started my interest in mechanics was a single cylinder Fairbanks and Morse that would power the well when the wind died. We took apart the wood water tank by loosening the band that held the planks together and numbering each plank with spray paint. Hauled the whole thing to our farm in Nipomo California and put it back together. It is still there and working to this day. That single cylinder engine is in a home made tractor that my dad and I made from an old car. My dad was a welder in the Navy for 28 years so fabrication was a love of my life.

Man I look forward to it. Would kill to be part of it
Good luck to you Steve.
You ARE living the dream. Really happy for you - love your vision and the plans you have all worked out in your head...
Going back in time, awesome.
Lifetime 50 years in Vegas and I haven’t been to Goodsprings but you know I’m gonna get out there once Steve gets established
I hope you do. It is an easy drive, and the Pioneer has great Hamburger's. It is going to take me a couple of years. Hope to see you then.
I believe that all this is the answer that some of us find to get into a simpler time and life style that is very much needed in our country now. The values that have been set aside is really shameful but not forgotten by a few that are willing and able to re start again. Blessings ya'll from a very jealous patriot.😂
Congratulations on getting your dream property started. Love seeing oasis’s in the desert!
Amazing Steve, I can't wait to see all the changes and ideas you have for your new adventure, and when it's all up and running, roll on part 3 😍👏💯🏴.
Work hard and achieve what you set out to do only way to get things do, ❤👏💯🏴 .
Keep up with your good work in Good Spring,NV.
I look forward to seeing your progress!
Very cool Steve, I see your vision. I just wish I lived nearby to help you restore this area rich in history.
Steve Darnell, I think this is an awesome project. I guarantee I'll stop out in Goodsprings and check it out. I'm gonna enjoy this channel. My daughter and I bought a house here in Flint Michigan that was built in 1843 and she wants to restore and walk through the house, just takes you back in time
That is something I would enjoy. Lots of satisfaction when completed.
I can’t wait to see it rebuilt, I lov your vision 👍🏻 blessings!!
Steve, great vid! If you want to save the willow tree you have to occasionally " top it " because they have a tendency to overgrow from the top killing the tree below .Also keep it away from septic systems ,their roots will go 599 feet searching for H2O .
Good to know, Thanks!
Nevada city in Montana is around because a guy did the same thing that you're doing, keep it up, and bring the past back to life.
I'm not sure if Goodsprings counts a being in the desert, but the landscape there looks amazing. And steeped in so much history, it must be such a cool property to own. Good luck with it all.
Thanks, appreciate you following along.
Goodsprings looks like a beautiful oasis in the desert. Amazing property
Steve, your vision is amazing. And I couldn't agree with u more on how everything has and is changing for the worst. There's no work ethic or pride anymore, disgusting. We all have to do more to bring it back and this is your way. Thank you so much for sharing this project, and being you, sharing your vision. 👍👏
You're Welcome and thank you!
Looking forward to this......
Everybody and anybody can find a little peace and a little fun out there. Don't forget the baseball diamond.....
Dude you are one of a kind. Love following you. Can’t wait to see it. You definitely are very talented in what you do. Thanks for sharing this
I appreciate that! Thanks for following along!!
That sounds so cool! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for watching!
Super neat! I love old mining towns and the history in them! One of my favorite places to go in Arizona was a little mining town up in the Bradshaw mountains north of Phoenix called Crown King! It’s totally the Wild West!
Steve your a talalented artist sir all the best with your brilliant historic project , it will be amazing , from ya fan in the UK [ johnnie busterlang]
Thank you, Johnnie!
This is first time I’ve seen any of your stuff since the television show which I believe was canceled, so I only know anymore than what you’re presenting in this video but I like the sound of it. I would’ve really liked to have done something similar myself but I don’t think I’m gonna get there in this lifetime. I pretty much lost everything taking care of a parent with ALZ for 10 years and than a foreclosure sale in the house I’ll I have is most of my tools and equipment and a tiny camper and Jeep that the bank owns. What that was my dream as well.
Our show, Vegas RatRods was canceled. We loved doing the show. Appreciate you following me on RUclips.
You made the ultimate sacrifice to make your parents life more comfortable. Hopefully things will get back on track.
So cool! Can't wait to see the history
Very cool
I was in New Brunswick years ago and they gathered up all the old buildings around the Provence and made an old Acadia town. Some of those buildings went back to the 17 hundreds.
To go into the town we had to park outside the gate and take a horse drawn wagon in. The town had shops and all of the town was ran like it was back in the 17/18 hundreds. It was very cool.
Your vision for such a town would sure be a blast from the past.
That I would love to see and experience. It could take me a lifetime but hope to leave some history behind me.
Some great work you do, will be following from Oklahoma
Supercool ❤ nothing like a good change, change is healthy…it’s all apart of growth and development my friend. Sure would love to stop by a few days in the town and check it out, learn the history and enjoy the experience.
Absolutely!! Give me a couple of years and I should be up and running. Thanks for following along.
Oh, hell yes, this is gonna be a blast!😆
Awesome, please keep the old cars and trucks original they are getting so hard to come by. Cant wait to see what you do in goodsprings.
Thanks for coming along Larry!
Awesome Steve what you going to do I am sure it will be something spectacular.
LoL every time I roll through the desert I don't like it but you sir make me think it's a good idea. My wife has severe R. A. Thinking the climate at the end of ours lives my be good
Come for a couple of weeks, see if it can help her.
It’s definitely a lot of work. But the right guy is going to make it happen. Good luck Steve . Wife and I will come visit when it’s done.
Please do!
so cool. i just helped getting a 1935 1 1/2 ton ford running and driving after being parked for 70 year.i got to drive it in a 4 of july parade,it now lives at william s hart part in newhall ca, so iam all in on this channel, good luck
It is a great feeling isn't it? Pure satisfaction!
@@WelderUpVegas i really think that older cars have souls
You got a lot of work to do! My God Bless You
I’m 52 and live in the mountains of NC,but have been thinking about a change. Do you need a ranch hand. I have 5 or 6 cool cars and a wife of 33 years. I think every thing your doing there is going to be bad ass. I love old towns. Atlanta Asheville and Greenville is my city’s and pigeon forge TN is our rod run town. But Steve every thing these days are going sideways. I work mobile mechanic and landscaping. Road house 66 was always a movie favorite of mine and I’ve always wanted to come see your state. Can’t wait to see your town. I need your welding school. I’ve never got good at it mainly because I’ve self taught. Well if you ever come to the Carolinas I will show you around!!! Bye
I sure will, I would love to see your part of the US. If your interested in the welding course leave your information at info@welderup.com. Our part of Nevada is completely different from yours, but Las Vegas is a must see. Pass the strip and 20 miles out South, you will find me.
Great project can’t wait too see the progress.
From the uk
Dang man, this is so cool. I am happy for you, and good luck.
I love you brother. Keep up the good work.
Years ago I was true Goodsprings. Love those old towns towns. Might have to stop by and see what you got going on!
I'll be there!
Looking forward to this series! 💪👍🏼 very cool.
The day you stop dreaming is the day to pack it up in my view! You definitely have a great sense of direction and it will be great once you get just a little done so then you can see the bigger picture. We are the same age and I still dream big. I know my body isn't that of a 25 year old but I accept that. 3 years ago I sold up and moved from the town where I grew up in and moved to the edge the Lake District in England which is my dream. Just an old land settlement cottage with a little land and garage so now just making it ours. It's also on my list to come and visit you! Take care.
Sounds like your dreams come true, it also sounds wonderful. In a couple of years, I hope to be ready for you to come see my dream.
Good luck Steve. Living the dream
Very cool Steve can’t wait maybe me and my girl will stop by sometime and check it out and if your theater will say hello but on ow we are behind you on this historic journey!😎👍🏻🇺🇸🦅🙏😇🇺🇸
Thanks much!
""RIGHT ON "" !!!! Is your Boys gona HELP with their future living ?? Lots to look & learn for sure !!! Hope ALL works out for you & Family !! 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Steve great place I’m from Australia I would love to come up your way and be apart of your lovely property love to do your welding school and learn lots of other skills I’m 52 years old your never to old to learn new things in life I would love to be part of this awesome journey ❤
That's right! Never too old to learn, when your ready contact my office at into@welderup.com They will give you the information you need. Thanks so much for following along. Love Australia but you must see Vegas.
Very cool what you're doing. It must be something to do with getting older because I'm reverting back to a minimalist lifestyle. I'm processing the apples from my orchard for the first time since I bought my place 10 years ago.
I think you could be right!
I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this property. Very cool.
