4 Link Front End Gets Installed in Dig Dug!

[@cliffcollins4124]

Tom Tom, I must thank you for setting the music at a level that we can still hear you and the workshop sounds, really fantastic

[@mindurbusiness-b3u]

id be happy without it. ive always said i watch these channels for the full fab experience, the narration and workshop sounds but not for youtubes terrible music library...

[@JAMESMT-mm6zl]

Yeah, never have understood the “need” for background music. Rather listen to the machines and narration. Good video though, thanks for sharing.

Ya, I’m not here for the music

[@andrewrollins5209]

Agreed. Music turned low, is the way to go

When I Want To See Cool Vechicles Built, I Go See Paul, Matt And Robby...When I Want To Learn How To Build Cool Vechicles, I Come See Tom Tom. Thanks For Sharing Man🤠

[@OpieIsWatching]

You have to check out @coltbuildsit He does work like Tom Tom and is in the same circles...

[@brianbarr8623]

You seem to be a very effective teacher. I think you gave Owen both the confidence to do the task and the understanding of why and how. Well done.

[@brockryan3405]

Apprentice time of running a grinder with a flapper wheel, or a cut-off wheel, is all valuable. You gain confidence in understanding that it will not kill you if you hold strong. That confidence can't be preached, it must be experienced.

[@sonorangaming449]

"Yeah"

[@dougmarkham1919]

"Yeah", and "yep", pretty much said it all! Thanks for investing in young people Tom.

[@wesman7837]

Yes, I agree! 👍 we need to pass on these skills to the youth because they aren't taught in most of the schools anymore. Most Jr. High and high schools used to have shop classes, but that isn't the case in many areas anymore.

[@kens6168]

Tom Tom is direct and to the point. No wasted time. I like that.

[@brettperkins4643]

Tom, your welds look incredible, your skill and years of welding and attention to detail shows in your fabrication, amazing skills

[@ewengillies9826]

Love to watch the preciseness with which you weld and assemble the pieces. Awesome to watch and learn. Bushyboy Oz.

[@johnseher2289]

Tom, good to see those young men in your shop learning metal fabriation. You're a designer, a metal worker, a teacher and a renaissance man. Can't wait for your next video.

[@trappedinkalifornee]

It is so refreshing to see young men wanting to learn and having a teacher such as yourself to show them the way….well done sir!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ajjcruz4337]

Hey TomTom. Been following you for more than a minute and I just want to say that I really appreciate the time taken and quality of your videos, not to mention the content. Cheers from Arizona

[@haroldconover5221]

That's Cool to see those 2 young guys working on your truck

[@NigelMarston]

Love that you and Matt invest the time to teach the next gen engineers and fabricators.

[@brockryan3405]

I am so glad that Tom spent time at Matt's KZbin first. I wouldn't have come here otherwise. It is so cool those two go way back. I wonder if Tom planned to get a following from Matt or if he got the idea to go solo from Matt.

[@Seffywuff]

Love the transition from "hammering out bump-stop rivets" to "f it, i'm just going to throw the new piece in"

[@Sam_Saraguy]

Really enjoying your content, Tom. The canyoneering segment was great, and your fab work is a joy to watch.

[@brockryan3405]

I"m so glad he gained a following at Matt's first. Tom is a thinking man and I hope he planned that.

[@eduardobulacan5353]

so nice when we see kids helping on this work.

[@Crewsy]

Professor TomTom. Loved that you’re taking time to mentor the future. People with knowledge need to understand the value of sharing that knowledge.

[@Treesusb]

Tom your videos are the ones I enjoy the most( absolutely no fluff, insanely informative and your demeanor is like a shop teacher that you always are excited to go to class to learn. Thank you, I will watch every video

[@Keinandrew3]

Thanks for the scenery Tom that was beautiful

[@Keinandrew3]

You did great Owen

[@ShaunHensley]

The young guys both came with a good attitude. Great to see it.

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

Tom, it is so nice to actually see someone prep an area to be welded. I have seen so many KZbin video's of people welding through all sorts of junk and it makes me cringe. Great video! Keep em coming!

[@gregcranford8638]

So cool to watch you teach the boys. Keep it up. The new generation needs you Tom Tom!!

[@dennisp3314]

Really nice to see Tom working with ,& Teaching these young guys

[@Gantzz321]

Mattt would be proud of you using a Wood Chisel on metal work

[@888johnmac]

Especially when he used it as a pry bar .. lol

[@psu7276]

Really love this channel as there is very little not shown and explained. The precision cutting and welding is fantastic.

[@rockogripo1romero423]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw you using a wood chisel on metal. you are usually meticulous. I must realize that you and Matt are human and can not exceed my expectations. thanks for the builds. Work safe have fun.

[@MikeAikens-m5w]

Love the integrity of your personality and that you share it with the youth. Keep it up brother

[@quantumss]

So good to see kids wanting to learn something other than phones and video games.

[@BigHeinen]

You're a good mentor and teacher Tom Tom!

[@scottparker3329]

Nice to see the kids working and learning skills . Love the shorts!!!

[@chopperchuck]

best part of this video was bring in some young men and teaching them .

[@larrylazure4288]

Tom's videos are great. Very instructional. And to the point.

[@chuckieswickedgoodfab]

Awesome video Tom Tom, keep getting better. Love the teaching moments, pass it on brother!!!! Well done!!!!

[@Kevin-ti3rz]

Cool trail . And it was nice for the boys to stop by and help .

[@bobodean1]

This is great seeing young men doing something other than video games. I'd like to see their young ears protected from the sound so they don't end up like poor Mr Ed over at Matts

[@Puddingoodin]

Glad you've got some help and these guys will learn some invaluable skills!!

[@JohnGaudette-ho5oz]

These little notches in thr nuts on your heim joints tell you they are left hand thread. Great work, nice to show the young guys the way around your project.

[@augieschultz2530]

You’re good at making these videos Tom. Thanks for teaching us.

[@almclean4835]

The trucks coming along nicely, going to be great when it’s done. Those canyons were amazing.

[@darrelmusslewhite1333]

Tom Tom, You are killin it!!!!! Love the channel and the way you really explain the process and "teach" how things work together. I am learning a lot from watching! Keep up the awesome job!!! Thanks from Lubbock, Texas

[@theburtseoni]

I love watching this well thought out project coming together so well! And I enjoyed the side trip up into the mountains, that was one tough but rewarding hike!

[@danamullen2556]

Dig Dug is turning out to be an incredible rebuild. Sometimes it amazes me how much attention you put into your angles and welds without really acknowledging them much. I can’t wait to finish this project with you. It’s easy to see your passion for Dig Dug. I just wonder if you put as much passion into your wifes’ “Honey-Do” Lists? 😊 Thank you!

[@brockryan3405]

I was always concerned that it would not be a viable rig as he used it on Matt's channel. I thought the short wheel base was damning. Now I see that it was just a super rough start of a truck.

[@rogercpate4386]

Nice diversion trip, along with some super cool fabrication. Thanks taking us along. Look forward after every posting the next.

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

I think that you should add some strength behind the steering box. If that frame is gonna RIP, it'll be where the torque is applied! Great vid! Thanks!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

And now it won't let me edit to say, and then you did!

[@masterbates7016]

Your the man Tom. Love watching you live life past its fullest.

[@ericclaire-helenerfletcher9433]

Tom really like that you have a couple of future mechanics and fabrication young ones with you form time to time , they appear to like what they are doing ,which is important

[@TheOldaz1]

Truck coming together. Nice playground with great scenery.

[@jamessmith7691]

I must say you have a good thing for , as Paul would say, measure taping. Great looking job on Dig Dug and you take time to enjoy nature. Hats off to ya !

[@BK-fp5li]

Who’s here for the great engineering and old man noises?! Thanks for another great video

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Hi mate love watching your videos I love how much care you take working on your truck looking forward to seeing more of your work as you progress

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Excellent job Tom Tom! That Chevy's going to be a beast!

[@dalebailey1844]

I have owned a couple of those Chevys, everyone had a brake in the steering box area, including a blazer that my dad had. Good stuff, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

[@flintmcmanly]

"Guess Angela took it...." Hahahaha - You definitely know how the universe works. I'm currently looking for several dozen things that my wife no doubt misplaced when I wasn't looking.

[@rleoNIU]

Saw you weld up some parts in the last video, your fresh welds looked like most people's welds I've seen after they clean and grind them down some. They were fantastic, you've got some excellent skill.

[@DP2021-f8o]

Love your videos. Never miss one. Suggestion, lower the volume on the music and maybe reduce how often it plays. A bit of quiet while you work wouldn’t be a bad thing. I’m learning a lot!

[@TerryWitbeck]

With grinding need hearing protection along with eye protection.

[@garychaiken808]

Great job. Thank you 😊

[@Keinandrew3]

Man Tom Tom those control arms look great

[@jimderrick846]

The truck is shaping up quick tomorrow. Looks good

[@jimandnena4]

Love the content and the presentation. Those 2 boys are getting experience that will be with them forever. Don't worry about knocking us over with the camera occasionally; it reminds me of working for my dad growing up 60 years ago.

[@Grayhook1]

I expected a lot more ‘old man’ noises after the hike 😁. It really comes through that this is your passion.👍🏼

[@tag2640]

Tom is the funniest guy on the internet. Always entertaining 😂

[@ericmitchell998]

I loved this video and all I have watched. You do a great presentation Tom Tom!!

[@gracefultim]

Another great video, Tom. I always feel like I've learned some useful stuff after watching your videos. The timing and delivery are spot on. See you next Sunday.

[@Derf1313]

Amazing erosion, sure would've loved to see it, so many thanx for the hike ! & all that other Kool stuff! Lol!

[@1944chevytruck]

LOOKING GOOD!

[@andygrant5275]

Hi Tom Tom I have say your videos are a pleasure to watch, the way you work things out and fabricate the parts you need, keep the videos coming.

[@Keinandrew3]

I really like how ur reinforcing behind the steering box. Mine cracked years ago and continues to be a pain in my butt

[@Keinandrew3]

Dig dug is looking great Tom Tom

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Those Diablo metal blades are awesome. A while back I needed to cut a bunch of angle for a project for my service van. My go to has always been a grinder with cut off wheels. I'm not a fabrication pro so investing in fairly expensive steel working tools doesn't make sense for me when I'm just doing little odds and ends type projects. When this project came up, I looked at a few different chop saws and such, but I just couldn't justify the cost. I did come up with a solution that didn't break the bank. I bought a cheap 7 1/4" miter saw and a router speed controller from Harbor Freight and a Diablo metal blade from Home Depot. The speed controller slows the blade down but you lose a bit of torque. It still cuts quickly and cleanly. I was intially worried about the metal shavings getting in the saw motor but I've literally made hundreds of cuts with it over the last year and a half without problems. All in, I've got about $150 in the setup. It's a pretty good, cheap alternative that will work for the average hobbyist.

[@brockryan3405]

I appreciated the speed of saw concept. I had contemplated putting a cutoff wheel on my miter saw.

[@LAP1050]

Tom, you’re transforming “Dig Dug” into a beast 💪🏻. Can’t wait to see it in its environment ⛰️🏜️

[@carlossalgadosalgado]

The boy's work is little, but anyone who doesn't make the most of it is crazy. Good job.

[@larrydavidson3402]

You have put a lot of time into Dig Dug and it will be an awesome pickup when your finished.

[@lloydreeves715]

Keep up with the good work love watching your videos

[@shadlundquist2329]

Giving Matt a hard time using a claw hammer working on metal and then Tom Tom using a wood chisel on metal. Exactly how I would do it. Lol.

[@jonanderson4474]

If it's disposable and works, is it really the wrong tool?

[@EricMendoza-z7i]

Definitely been watching what Tom Tom's been up too lately. Keep it up!

[@phreddeijonz826]

Awesome Awesomeness job job Tom Tom !!

[@bobbiehenry4693]

Thanks for the info on the saw!!

[@HwyRyder]

What kind of footwear do yall use that can get that wet yet still hike comfortably?

[@randallparker8477]

I'll be sore tomorrow from just watching you down on that concrete heatsink of a floor, I won't be able to walk after the canyon hike. LOL Great progress on the Dig Dug, when you're layin' them dimes it is hypnotizing.

[@ko84b]

I love Fat Man's Misery slot! I've done it many times, but now that I'm in my 70's I may not do it again. Who knows, if I could find someone to go with me, I just might. I do prefer southern escape route, but logistically it is more difficult though the hike out is a bit easier.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

I respect your skills. Great work and knowledge as always. God Bless America

[@Jake-yx7ct]

Another great vid Tom. I like your shop work and that trail video with your family was fascinating and entertaining.

[@Rusty_ok]

Great video again. You are going to be a KZbin sensation.

[@mako757]

exited to see the final digdug.

[@juanbtf]

lmao I love how you blame Angela so easily for taking the left side 😂

[@SaltAirLiving]

Old man noises are a requirement of a quality job, well done…. Dad noises are a requirement of getting ready in the morning…. Man noises are required any time you pick up anything cool like a tool, man toy or any random object you find cool.

[@brucemorris6319]

You’re doing a great job on your truck 👍

[@lonecowboy789]

Need to get done. I like it when you're 4 wheeling

[@jefft2553]

You said get guys gloves and safety glasses but hearing protection is very important. After many years of not wearing hearing protection I found out the hard way.
