Do-Rite Fabrication Shop Tour 2 and improved

[@dannywilsher4165]

I've started building 5 different shops. Never got one finished. Always had to move on to different places. Someday I want to have a shop just like DoRite Fabrication!!! Nice!!!!

[@ActiveAtom]

Hi we remember as newbies here when a few videos ago you showed the old shop you put up for sale, that was a humble video to watch, the new to these two guys your shop so much more space so clean, with really nice organization. Really nice to take this tour, thank you. Lance & Patrick.

[@welder9163]

Straight to the point, while also teaching, thumbs up!! Thank you. I learn from others mistakes!! Be Humble people. 2 minds are better than one!!

[@hubertrobinson8825]

Nice clean shop everything organized good place to work

[@johnellington1932]

Nice Update. Super. Work Flow, Nice. Organized Clean.

[@dekeviuspace2704]

Very nice shop brother!!!

[@windyhillfoundry5940]

Thanks for the tour Jim, you've inspired me to re route all my cords overhead. Much neater and I can't afford a trip hazzard

[@RambozoClown]

I do the same thing with the lights, I added contactors so when you turn off the lights it will also shut off HVAC, air compressor.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Dust extractor is nice also for 200 bucks that's a steal

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Jim, very tidy setup mate, you have put a great lot of thought into making everything user friendly, thanks for sharing mate very impressive

[@rlsimpso]

Excellent point regarding drill presses versus mills for production.

[@unclefrankonap1953]

Outstanding tour .

[@dananelson5434]

You have a nice shop. Well organized and spacious. Like how you have cords and air lines overhead. When you were explaining about the lathe, I thought, he hangs out with the right people. Keith is selling his le blond. Enjoyed the tour. Thanks.

Hey Jim, nice shop! I heard your tig welding presentation at the old mill in east Texas. Very informative. Congrats on the ironworker. I personally know 2 generations of the Dvorak family. Joe who designed the machine you have passed in , I believe 1968, brilliant man. Never got to meet him but have heard a lot of stories about him. His grandson is the president of Uni-Hydro which is the next generation of Dvorak ironworkers. I have a lot of knowledge about the machines as does my father and brother who also are Ellis Dealers in the midwest. Give me a shout if you need any help with your machine. We have a HUGE amount of round punches and dies in stock in 32nd increments and many shapes such as oval, square, rectangle, and hex. Ironworkers are a very versatile machine and a big time saver in the fabrication industry, as I'm sure you already know. Take care, Jeff

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Omg! You want to be my new best friend?

[@jeffpitzer8521]

Sure. You can never have too many friends.. [e-mail] email me and I will be happy to help you anyway I can.

[@jmcenterprises9591]

Nice shop, love the drill press, thanks Jim

[@maximilianoesteban8740]

I admire your Ellis collection. My friend Brian has all 3 of the same Ellis machines that you have and I can say with absolute certainty that they are a good investment as I have used them many times. Finishing up a couple bigger jobs early next year and I may just have the budget to get the sander and the saw! Nice video and shop

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks for the shop tour. I need to do an updated shop video myself.

[@yvesdesrosiers2396]

Thanks for sharing. If you want to ship that TIG up to me I will take it. Lol. All kidding aside thznks for showing us around. Gos bless you and yours.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love the drill press

[@phillipchambers8487]

Great shop tour

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love the upgrades and the new stuff

Love the sand blast cabinet

[@MrMopar413]

Looks good

[@stacyreid5077]

Very nice shop, I'd love to have one like that; well maybe one day I can. Lol

[@rustyheaps]

I'm going to have to look at the old tour, I swear you had a do-all project just waiting for attention last time. Looks good, agree about cords but haven't been able to banish them from my shop yet.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

it's here...long story......

[@1970chevelle396]

Nice shop update. I will have to make it out to Florida next year.

I love tours thanks buddy I appreciate

[@robertpartsmade5832]

One hell of a shop sir !! 😎👍 read some of the comments about money no object ... good reply 😎 work hard and you get the results .... far too many armchair critics !! My shop is only 34’ x 14’ having watched your tour l need to get the dust pan and brush out and clean behind all my machines 😮😂😂 Regards Robert PARTSMADE 🇬🇧

[@joelmcclellan1050]

That plate shear should only be used on plate ( not round stock, square stock, etc.). If your ironworker has those capabilities it will have dedicated “window slots” shaped for the appropriate stock.

[@jim9626]

Store the drill bits in a wood block.

[@andrewd.1113]

Mr. Bollinger, Nice shop, well laid out. Is Adam Booth worried you'll hang out a "Open of Business " sign outside of your shop?

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Adam and I live 7 hours apart from each other. Adam is a great guy and we are more likely to be business...maybe not partners, but helping each other rather than in competition with each other. Not to mention Adam is light years a better machinist than I ever will be!

[@1jtolvey]

WOW !!!

[@JamesDedmon]

Get you a 3 drawer Hout for your fractional drills, I would wager that 90% of your drills are fractional. I did that for the collection of drills I picked up, I resharpened them and now I have a lifetime of quality USA made drills

[@yqwgjsg]

I want to see the wind mill

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Then go watch one of my many windmill videos. They are on my channel.

[@esoomreltna]

Jim, Thanks for the tour. It gave me a few ideas for my new shop too. You mentioned a new RPC. Would you consider a VFD instead for the mill? Just a curiosity question...no flames intended. Best wishes, Eric

[@mikeoneill5239]

Could you tell us the length and width of the shop? Door height and width?

Loe it Jim, my Lincoln 275 squarewave still serves me nicely but I am being dragged kicking and screaming into 21st century.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

I started with a 175. I love the bullet proof simplicity, but I have never regretted going to an inverter. Once you get it dialed in, you wont regret it.

[@harrykt6846]

Where is the meteorite saw?

[@DoRiteFabrication]

it's here.....

[@williamdavis5333]

hello i need a cross member made for may f 100

[@ThAtGuY-u9d]

How could anyone say it’s dumb to have a good drill press if you have a mill? Who would want to put all the nasty, dirty, rough materials you use in fabrication on a precision tool just to pop a hole in it. Nice shop.

[@vettepicking]

get that sandblaster far far away from your mill!! that's silly

[@jmwarden1]

This must be an older video because I didn't see the Doall bandsaw. lol

[@DoRiteFabrication]

There is a story there.....but yes, I still have the DoAll and the iron worker.

[@glennbarthelemy2443]

I wish people would stop knocking harbor freight the do have some good tools!!!

[@brianpatrick8441]

I must say you have a nice shop with nice collection of tools but what i noticed is everything looks new and Hardly used. I checked your other video's and noticed you haven't needed 90% of those nice tools!! I take it this isnt your day job?

[@bobelliott2748]

It's not a very big US flag. The bigger the flag the more patriotic you are. Tells me alot though. Nice shop

[@davidanthony1845]

Actually, check this out Jim, I'm unsubscribing.

[@davidanthony1845]

Money is obviously no object? Love the channel, but really, I'm done. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars nobody has.

[@tomcrockett7941]

Sure,but alot of cool tips.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Sir, you are completely off base with that comment. I work very hard at squeezing the hell out of pennies to get what I have. I get most everything I have broken and fix it myself. I traded a harbor freight blast cabinet for the lathe that was broken. The mill was traded for some electrical work, and I fixed it. I bought the blast cabinet for $200 bucks on Craig's list, then fixed it. All of the electrical work and airlines again done by me. The roll up doors I bought on line and installed myself. The cabinets and both work benches I made myself. The tool boxes and welders were paid for by welding jobs that I DID in my spare time. So stop whining about "I'm done" if you want it, work your ass off for it and make it happen! Stop being a baby about it and work for it, twards it. Nothing here was overnight but a goal over time.

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

@@DoRiteFabrication LOL, you told him, Yes and some folks have a nak for knowing HOW, WHEN, WHERE to get some deals they don't mind working on, looks like you have that and/or developed that over time. ( Sure would like to have 2 blades done, 3 holes each for my project )

[@andrewd.1113]

@@DoRiteFabrication Good for you! The majority of the tools I have in my shop I got at farm equipment auctions. The shelving I built myself from materials I found. I also ran the electric line for my welder by myself , It can be done!

[@mikemarler8224]

@@DoRiteFabrication With all due respect, sir, you are missing the point. You showed at least 30K in new style Lincoln welders, *far* beyond the reach or need of a home shop fabricator, and more than a lot of working fabrication shops. Are you a home shop guy, a pro fabricator, or a Lincoln spokesman? I'm asking in all sincerity, because I can't tell. I used to watch Keith Rucker for tips on working on lathes and milling machines, but his latest acquisitions aren't anything that I can relate to. Good for Keith on getting some fabulous machinery, but I'll probably never even see a Rivett 1020, nor will I ever need to work on a five ton Carlton radial drill press. I'm happy that Keith is getting his shop set up the way he wants, but I'm getting less and less content that's useful for my needs.
