      I worked for a few respected old car fabricators as a young man and they enjoyed all the questions I asked, you could see in their eyes how much they wanted to pass on the trade to a younger generation

      @@michaelszczys8316 there is something missing from the new generation(s) mine included although I do love the "crafts". Alot of guys who have a general interest in these sort of things expect to train a year and then make the BIG BUCKS when they dont know shit. But you watch Jesse as he works. His tounge sticks out, he gets into a groove, he loves it. I bet if you walked through his shop while hes working, hand him a defected fender, tank, anything, he will be compelled to fix it. Its in his nature, almost an OCD. Kids now dont "love" the work, they only love the money they could make.

      Its different with a guy that wants to learn. Cant teach an old dog new tricks. A lot of guys have a bit of ego/pride and wont like being corrected, even if theres obviously a better way.
      Tv producers sometimes miss the mark of what the people watching want to see. They seem to think everything needs to be turned into a drama filled reality show with fast cuts and loud music. It's that kind of nonsense that drives people to RUclips instead.

    JJ, I remember as a kid reading how the fellows would use an Engiish Wheels making aircraft skins and autobody panels in the early 60s and wondered where to find one. Then saw you on West Coast Chopper series and mastered the art working with it. Then it seamed that everyone had to have one and the price for them went out of this world. You are an inspiration to many, I'm glad to see you're mentoring the young. You are a true Craftsman, an Artist and a a Legend. Keep teaching because your molding people's lives forever. I'm 65 and you helped inspire me and I mentor young kids as well.

    We all have our own methods, nobody is right and nobody is wrong... Whatever shoe fits!
    The shrinker looks like a useful tool.. never tried one? Best wishes to all you fellow metal-botherers from an Englishman (without a wheel) in a French forest. 🏆🇬🇧⚔️

Would teach me skills and techniques. And there is something about watching a craftsman pass on his experience and knowledge. Priceless.

    I remember hearing jj say he makes bikes from the ground up, and made fun of other fab shops like occ that buy everything off the shelf and bolt it together. Jesse and orange county choppers are worlds apart in terms of craftsmanship imo. Dont get me wrong, occ and others make nice looking stuff, they just don't have the unique hand made qualities to them as much.
