Custom Motorcycle Shop Tour - Voodoo Choppers | In The Shop

[@iamvonimmel]

Eric, I can remember watching you on "Biker Build off" waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day! You, Indian Larry, and Finch have all been huge inspirations to me. About 6 years ago I took up welding and metal fabrication and haven't looked back since. When my mother turned 60 she came up to me and said "Show me how to use that damn thing." and started teaching her mig welding. For mothers day a couple years ago I took her to Finch's shop down in Pontiac. In fact, she's the one that told me you had this channel and were doing craftsmanship style videos. The whole family are big fans. Thank you for the virtual shop tour and thank you for sharing your humble knowledge with the world. Cheers from Lapeer! - Wes

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Hi Wes, Thanks for the kind words! Super cool to hear you started welding and fab work. Keep moving forward! Ron's place is crazy cool, isn't it?

[@SirPiglet2020]

So great seeing someone doing what they enjoy and making a business out of it! 😃

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Blessed life

[@firstedition4043]

That's great to hear! It's always a good feeling to find something that aligns with your interests and goals

[@charlesmay8251]

Thanks for the tour! Im addicted to a craftsmans legacy. By far the best show on the tube.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you! So very kind to say.

[@slhasebroock]

Great to see your bike shop! Thank you!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you!

[@sheilaphillips4311]

I never get tired of watching this. There's always something new I see 🙂

[@bradymcphail9690]

Man! What a great small shop! I could be happy hanging out there at a work station like yours too! With a 45 yr. career in metal fab. That’s where I’m most comfortable. Woodworking is another hobby that I am now incorporating all of my off time fun into a retirement business... I hope 🤞. Who knows maybe building choppers and hot rods will then become my new hobby? Eric, your shop is Stellar brother! Thank you for sharing.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks Brady!

[@markstefan1]

Oh man seeing that small English wheel sure brought back memories from using it in a class of Ron’s in 96’.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Great wheel!

[@michaeldelvoye6371]

Great tour, never miss the craftsman’s legacy show

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you!

[@gengenone1163]

A very well-organized shop. I'm very impressed. People should realize how important shop teachers are. They are skills you can't master alone you have to have someone to guide you at the start. I'm very very impressed how clean it is and how it looks used but cared for. Thank you so much for posting the video again.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you very much!

[@Stillnapie]

Having gotten to tour Eric's shop in person I can tell you it is one of the greatest making spaces I have ever been in. It's well organized, efficient and perfectly suited for the work he does. The separate dirt room for all the abrasive tools is genius and keeps things in order. He is a master craftsman and one hell of a great guy, the sculpture he made for the park in my hometown is beyond stunning, beautiful bright stainless!!! Thanks for the video Eric!!!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Very kind. Thank you.

[@willyjohn6352]

Awesome Eric.. about time we saw ur shop... 😂👍

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

I agree!!

[@jodyorr2778]

I'm really glad this popped up in my feed ! I had completely forgotten about not only your shop but your history and how it all started. Keep up the good work!!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you!!

[@jamessenos765]

Hey Eric … Excellent video and brings back a lot of cool memories when our family came to visit the original shop in Rochester 20+ years ago! Keep on trucking my brother! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Hi James! Thank you for the kind words. Rochester was a cool shop. I miss that place sometimes.

[@davr9724]

Nice shop Eric, it's cool how some machines can be used for so many different things.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

For sure!

[@stevenpressley5956]

Nice 👍.. I enjoy your content Eric.. you have a diverse pallet of talents..

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

I appreciate that. I love creating things.

[@edwardkenny2356]

Thank you so much, Eric. I don't know if you've shown your shop off before, but it's the first time I've seen it, and I'm impressed. Lots of older machines that have stood the test of time. A no nonsence kinda shop. 👍👍

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a fun shop for sure. Long road getting all the equipment and very grateful to have it.

[@paulajones851]

Thanks for the tour Eric! Would love to see some videos of the bike building process.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks! We've been talking about doing a bike build video too.

[@sharkskinboy]

Wow, awesome, awesome workshop Eric, I'm so envious! Thanks for the tour, I have to watch it again now 😀

So cool to see the place where you do the work that feeds your soul! Your shop and equipment are truly awesome! Good to see that Buddy is still the supervisor in charge! You guys enjoy your day! God bless!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Buddy is always in charge!

[@cindydineen4292]

@@CraftsmansLegacy absolutely, and that's how it should be!!

[@lindaweakley8455]

I've watched this video a couple of times & both times came away going "but what are they for"? I don't know what a plenishing machine is and what this thing does and what that thing does. So if you ever decide to do another video, for us novices, try putting in a bit about each machine. Like what it does &/or show us a little bit of what they do. Missing you on Iowa PBS, glad to hear you're going to be presenting some new videos in June. Good luck in your new ventures! We've learned a great deal from your shows!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@archivestereo]

You are my favorite craftsman, total inspiration and just an incredibly nice person. Got to talk to you once about a Schwinn bike project and you were wonderful, helpful and just such a super decent person! The bike is done, by the way! Thanks!!!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Wow, thank you! How did the bike come out?

[@archivestereo]

@@CraftsmansLegacy Great. Just needs pedals!

[@victorstalick3719]

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Wow, thank you!

[@cindydineen4292]

At the very beginning of your video is that a little mini refrigerator on the right with your Voodoo Choppers logo on it? If so, that is really awesome! Also love the cool lettering on your shop door and all the interesting signs you have on the walls of your shop! Those special little touches make your work space so unique and personal! Your creativity shows in everything you do! I'm sure even Buddy approves! You guys have a great day! God bless!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks Cindy! Yes - that's a VC mini fridge.

Loved seeing your shop, thank you for the tour! So many cool tools and machinery. That bike on the wall reminds me of my Green Machine from when I was a kid! Enjoyed seeing Buddy again, he didn't look very impressed...lol! :D Have a great day!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

I thought green machines were so cool! I was a Big Wheel man, myself though!

@@CraftsmansLegacy Haha...I remember the Big Wheel! My mistake though, it was another bike I had that had a black seat similar to yours on the wall. Hard to remember since it was a long time ago...lol!

Hey Buddy! I enjoy all you do! As a retired Shop Teacher, I can see you working there. Well done! RWB

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks 👍

[@lindaweakley8455]

Nice to visit your full metal workshop. As you walked & mentioned the different machines, all I could do is wonder "what the heck does it do?" You may know what a "bridgestone?" is, but I have no clue. Watched you teach the blacksmith woman about a hammer machine to shape a fender (on Iowa PBS). THAT I could understand - as I could see a result. Hope to see you utilize the machines in future or be training someone. Linda Weakley

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks Linda. Maybe we will do some videos showing what the machines do. FWIW: Bridgeport is a brand of milling machines. The name is often used to describe all vertical mills without regard to an actual manufacture. Like Kleenex.

[@RobRobertson1000]

Glad to see your own shop finally :) Really cool tools there too.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks 👍

[@jamesblake3470]

Hi Eric! I'm so happy to see the shop tour. You've got a great place to build bikes. Sure beats my dirt floor barn. 😬 Wishing you much success in this upcoming CL season. I can hardly wait to see it. Jim in Reedville, VA

Thank you!! I've worked in dirt floor shops and always found them peaceful. Something special about that.

Eric, thanks for sharing. Have you done a Craftsman’s Legacy on yourself? As a wood worker I’d love to see what goes into one of your custom bikes!

We did in Season 3, Episode 13 - on metal shaping. It will eventually be on KZbin but you can also watch it on our website for FREE.
