Do-Rite Fabrication Shop Tour

[@ShadySherlock]

Ummm..... WOW!!!! The Absolute BEST Equipt Shop, that I've EVER seen!! VERY NICE!!!

[@johnpanzella4639]

I’m so glad I taught Jim everything he knows about welding and building. Run with it bro!

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Bahaha....

[@mogusue]

Man, I am watching from Africa. You are a very organised person. Very clean workshop. Great. Thumps up!!!!!!!

[@davemetz7368]

Really love you shop !!! It is the real definition of a Man Cave. Love how it is so clean and organized , and the great assortment of machines and tools to do practically anything. Consider yourself a lucky and fortunate person.

[@andrewwilson8317]

I could just drop into your shop and get to work right away! Got myself a very similar setup. Great to see one that has grown through hard work overhauls and repairs. Had to do it the hard way too,lots of searching and collecting. Refreshing to see it being kept real in these days of expensive designer workshops that are all over tv these days! The tv programs are like adverts for Bailigh ,Snap on etc-so far removed from reality. You have my respect sir.

very nice especially if it's on the same property as your house. I really like the fact that you bargain shop and revive machinery to use. also I like the fact that everything has a place and is well taken care of. customers feel much better taking items to an organized clean shop. I'm envious of the cool setup.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Tombomb1816 , Thanks, yes the shop is located on the back of our old farm. It's close to the house so I can stop during the day and spend a few minutes with the kids, or help the wife. I am defiantly a bargain shopper. I have learned to stretch a dollar till it's so thin you can read the news paper through it. I love bringing new life to machinery/equipment. I am more of a get it working correctly kind of a guy, where as The Basement Shop Guy (Brad) Makes his stuff better than new. Stay tuned to the channel, The shop is currently under renovations from some storm damage and some reorganization to make my work flow better. I am going to make another shop video to show all the changes/repairs.

[@ntx4307]

I love this. I just turned 20 and I have been on my own for a year now and I am trying to start my own fab business. I have several customers whom I make tables for on a regular basis as well as trailer repair and pipe fencing. Everything I have as far as tools is in my truck. This is motivating!

[@mattward1507]

Thanks for putting this vid up for everyone to appreciate! I'm planning my shop at the moment and stumbled across yours while browsing - gotta say yours is one that appeals to me the most out of everything I've seen. Thanks again!

[@brando8214]

Nice shop Jim. Good to see other guys set up. I also just added the swag table in my shop handy tool.

[@hobbyhomesteader984]

Now That Is A DREAM SHOP...VERY Nicely Done Jim. Very impressive. You said you had 400 amps split. I did the same thing when I re-wired my house...brought 400 amps from the pole and split it 200 to house and to my small 16 ft sq. shop

[@huckfinn4260]

I like the idea of the two bench vices in line with each other on the long table. Very nice clean well kept shop. Impressive. Must be nice to have 400A to work with. I went from a 50A service in my old shop to an off-grid generator set up in my present temporary shop. Using my Miller 300D NT and a little 3500w generator for now. Hoping to upgrade to a larger generator eventually. I can really appreciate the importance of an adequate electric service. Very nice tour. Thank you!

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Huck Finn Thanks!

[@Abom79]

Awesome shop Jim! You have some really nice machine and tools, and I love the layout. I appreciate the shop tour, thanks for sharing with all of us. Congrats on getting the channel started up, and were all looking forward to seeing some project videos. Adam

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Abom79 Thanks Adam, It's a never ending project....You know what I mean, always thinking about an addition.....More room, more room, Press brake, sheer, Horizontal mill, CNC plasma......

[@madtexmex5305]

Hi Jim, Very well organized shop and super clean. You could get more room for the CNC when you move the end feed table outside and side the band saw back to where your walk-thru is. Feed the metal thru a hole in the wall.

[@StraightThread]

Very well laid out shop, Jim. Great tour! Nice explanations for each piece of equipment. I liked that. I lost count of how many welding machines you have, but it's nice to have one near where you need it. I'm looking forward to seeing your projects. I think you bring some interesting knowledge and experience into the KZbin community. Thanks for sharing!

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Sam Medelin...Nice touch! His memory is now secured! and nice workshop. Like the 're-cycling' of machinery... Subscribed

[@famrichards]

Nice shop. Thanks for the tour Jim.

[@jamesappleyard8928]

Like your shop, by the looks of things you are living my dream

[@ryanblanco5866]

Very nice shop. One day i'll put up a shop like this with vintage lathes and stuff.

[@henricklindstrom3780]

Thanks for the tips about the Rotary Phase Converter, thats a great idea! Awesome workshop!

[@arlynsmith9196]

Really nice shop and really nice video. Thank you for taking the time!

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Arlyn Smith Glad you enjoyed.

[@krismorse5296]

hi, I enjoyed your video, being a farmer in a large farm community I've been in alot of shops and never saw one as clean as mine (I'm ocd) ..........until I watched your video! I love how you keep it clean, neat and tidy! most think you can't keep a shop clean and use it too but they are wrong. just takes hard work! I mostly rebuild engines so I like to keep mine as spotless as I can. my friends tease me all the time about it but guess who they come to when they want something done or to borrow a tool LoL. now I'm inspired to do another shop video. thank you!!!

[@samwittstruck.6685]

Kris Morse

[@pawanchopra6679]

good shop , carefully built , looks a lot of passion. I want to setup a small shop .

[@skipgoryews1356]

Hello Jim my dream shop ,i like your layout. I have the same press you have, with Swag finger brake, i opted for them to weld it up for me, i was afraid of warping it, Have a lot good memories in your new shop Jim. regards Skip

[@rickl.orchids]

, very very nice shop, would be a dream to work in all that space. Stainless counter tops, free standing tools, well organized, long tables, easy to keep things clean and in place. appreciate the tour..........great place!.......auto feed for the Mill table would be a nice project ....you need one.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Rick L Thanks Rick, I would LOVE a power feed for the mill.....It just doesn't fit in the budget right now. It's always good to have goals. Gives me something to work toward....right? lol

[@rickl.orchids]

+Rick L ....power feed project, ......a motor from wiper or car window....lots U-tube videos on making one...........fabrication right!......lol......

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Rick L Oh Rick, don't get me thinking.......I'll never sleep! Lol

[@johnwayne2103]

Thanks for the tour! Gave me some iodeas on what machinery to buy when I strike it rich.

[@compactc9]

We haven't yet needed a fire extinguisher at home, but dad's always been adamant about keeping them everywhere, every bathroom has one under the sink, as well as under the laundry room sink, theres at least two in the kitchen that I can think of, one in the basement, and a few more in the garage. We try and keep then in places spread around the house, with a heavier concentration around places that fires are more likely to start, like the kitchen and garage.

[@acethemachinisthelperfutur6942]

I am happy because I found what i want to be when i grow up and that is Machinist for now I am A helper at the Machine shop I want to learned all the things that should i need to know I am greatful to see your vlog sir💕💕

[@ke6bnl]

+Ed Ginsberg Nice meeting you too. The get together wasn't long enough....I wanted to visit with everyone more!

[@KnolltopFarms]

DoRite Fabrication I agree, and next time don't go having anything messing up your fun, LOL! Nice to meet both of you guys...Aloha, Chuck

[@daver681]

I was impressed when you showed your hardware and said that it was all SAE no metric junk,

[@k5at]

Jim, I enjoyed meeting you at the bash, and really enjoyed the shop tour. Thanks for sharing!

[@garyrhodes7089]

Jim very nice shop I like the layout you have I like to see how other people have there shops set out so i can copy the bits I like in mine .Do you have air conditioning like Adam Booth and do you have problems with surface rusting with the high humidity in your area . Also you missed out what the wall storage units are for in your shop tour. very good camera work and presentation I look forward to your future posts Gary

[@Retroweld]

Wow! Beautiful shop!

[@chrisjones6165]

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Matthew Gischus Thanks!

[@SteveMcQuillin]

Very nice shop Jim. Followed the shout out Adam gave you on SNS this evening. Man that rain sounds familiar, pretty much every evening lately here in CFL :)

[@thomascoughran1374]

Very nice!

[@longevitywelding]

Sweet looking shop guys! Let me know if you are looking to add to it

[@bambambundy6]

Awesome shop!!

[@rodneywager2142]

Great shop Jim, mine is more of an oversized shed and welding is done under a shade tree. LOL

[@chillierdavro]

Very nice shop! Love the portable swag bandsaw and the hardware store :)

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+David Stevens (davro) Thank you!

[@outsidescrewball]

Hi Jim, awesome shop, great setup and tools. Very nice video production. Hitting the sub button! All the best Chuck

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+outsidescrewball Thanks, Chuck I appreciate that!

[@RickRose]

Nice shop and tour. I'll try to remember that Ellis name brand when shopping in the future.

[@ranboo1412]

awesome shop i loved the video

[@cncdavenz]

Nice shop with lots of room :-)

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Dave Bassett real estate, the most valuable thing in my shop!

[@KnolltopFarms]

Hey Jim, it's Chuck just dropping in to say "Howdy". I hope things are going well enough, I know it must be tough if this is what I saw in the photos you kindly shared with me on what should have been a "stress free" weekend. This is certainly a good inventory of what fine equipment you have if any of it got wounded...I can only imagine how you must've felt. Man, I sure do wish I was just down the way so I could come help out, but it sounds like you've got a good circle of friends and family to pitch in an get things buttoned up. Best of luck with everything, and I'll stay in touch...Aloha, Chuck V.

[@jj9739]

Awesome shop Man!

[@rickl.orchids]

Digging all the Ellis machines as well as the Swag off Road pieces.........

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Rick L I like both, because they are quality, and they employ Americans right here in the USA.

[@bsdwiz]

awesome shop!

[@williamgillespie4662]

Can you show more about your 3 phase generator?

[@ianangles2084]

You should get a plasma CNC table like a 2x2 or 4x4 would be perfect for you I bought a 5x10 from plasma cam for my shop and i make my own parts and designs and I sell some to customers and it saves a lot of money.

[@radsnaget2005]

That's a nice setup. There isn't much you can't do in there. Not sure what type of clamps you use. But I've destroyed quite a few of those black bessey clamps at work. The posts just don't hold up to pressure like some of the old school stuff we've got around the shop.

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

great shop!

[@Bread996]

Nice shop. Typically residential garage floors are sloped towards the door. Although mine is so old it slopes in every direction :)

[@MetalmastersCM]

Hey Jim. One suggestion. With your blast cabinet, get some rubber sheeting ; Mcmaster-Carr# 8630K153 or what ever size you'd need, hang it with a riveted strip from the top and ends on the inside of your cabinet. This will keep your cabinet from wearing through and also minimizes contamination when blasting S.S. or Aluminum.

[@bluehandsvideo]

Awesome shop Jim! Man, would I love to have some of that space!! Thanks for the link above. :)

[@tomcrockett7941]

On your lathe,Tubalcane has some neat video on manufacturing your own parts.

[@not2fast4u2c]

Abom79 sent me over to your channel ..You have a nice shop I will be checking out your other videos also

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+not2fast4u2c Thanks for the kind words! Stay tuned, I have lots of videos to share.

[@fierrosoft]

That's a man's dream right there.

[@DEATHTRAPHOTRODS]

Nice set up!

[@dieseltrk9946]

I agree awesome shop. I've been trying to organize my shop like your's for about 35 year's still hasn't happen. I to would like to know what size is your shop also what is the primary type of work you do {welding is a given n a little machine work} Thanks

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+dieseltrk99 My shop is 30 x 40. I have a 14 x 30 shed next to the shop that I keep supplies and such in. I use my shop like a job shop, wrenching, fabricating, restoring.......

[@Bigtwin88]

Wow... You have a really nice job shop....Great Video....You gave me some ideas for mine.......Thanks Don M.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Donald Marland Well that's great! hope to do a new shop tour video soon as there has been some new equipment (to me) added that required a reorg of the shop. Stay tuned so you can check it out.

[@choppergirl]

4:27 - I found one of those big wrenchs just like that rusting away in the dirt on our farm. My guess was it was for fire hydrants? I hung it up on the wall as art... then my dad stole it again (I assume it had been his) and I have no idea where it went... I haven't found it anywhere in his shop after he died... now I know how to derust it, I'd derust it and add it to my own big set of tools for who knows what someday... pass on to the next generation.

[@PtfabNet]

Cool Shop!

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Part-Time Fabrication Thank you!

[@ShadonHKW]

Good lookin shop Jim, thanks for the tour :)

[@DoRiteFabrication]

[@jamesspires8096]

Great layout thanks for the personal tour

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+James Spires Thank you!

[@8power0]

THAT IS ONE HELL OF A SHOP IN A GREAT AREA,,, THANKS FOR THE TOUR . JUST A QUICK QUESTION DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW ANY GOOD TRANSMISSION SHOPS IN YOUR AREA HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SHOP MY TRANSMISSION IS AT RIGHT NOW . ITS BEEN THERE FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS AND IT'S JUST A 1998 3.0 LITER FORD WINDSTAR WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THE HELP THANKS .

[@barrykilts4506]

Hey I love that shop and I’ll assume you actually work for a living or won the lottery.I don’t have anything on that scale but I do love the ports band saw,I’ve been wanting to do just that for ever but I’ll get to,cut off angle grinder is great but am looking forward to an up grade

[@UnorthodoxFabrication]

Nice shop! Does that Ellis bandsaw have coolant?

[@bcbloc02]

That is a really nice shop. Clearly you love your welders! I think your shop may have more welders than mine has wall plugs. lol What size is it? Something around 30x40?

[@BuildSomthingCool]

I have one very important question for you. How long dose it take you to clean your very cool shop? :-)

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Metal Tips and Tricks (Dale Derry) Dale, It depends on how bad my OCD is flaring up. It gets quite messy, sometimes really bad, it just stands on my nerves till I get it cleaned. Now my old pickup truck, on the other hand.....:)

[@mrdavidurquhart]

Great clip thankyou.

[@marceltimmers1290]

Hi mate.That is a wonderful shop you got there. I forgot to count them, but how many welders have you got there. I think that some of the professional youtube providers would love to own something like that.Marcel.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Marcel Timmers Oh, I have a few. Probably more than I need, since I am not building as many water/sewer parts as I used to.

[@jackcook5119]

nice shop, beats the heck out of mine.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Jack COOK Thank you!

[@joell439]

Jim, that was fun. I'll keep watching if you keep posting them. I think I saw an AZ license plate above your toolbox. Did you use to live in the southwest? Joel....

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Joel L No, I'm a native Floridian, as rare as frog hair. My wife lived there along time ago.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+DoRite Fabrication a long.......damn sausage fingers!

[@dougerrn]

Hey just subscribed. Linked from abom79. I like your clean shop, totally uncluttered. Looking forward to your videos. I'm always learning from others so I hope you have plenty of advise in fabrication.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+doug pitt I will try to pass along all that life has taught me. I have learned a lot fabricating/repairing/restoring over the years, I certainly don't know everything though, just give me five minutes I'll prove it. LOL

[@FredMiller]

Really nice tour Jim. Lots of room. I like it. I have subscribed now lets see some projects LOL. Have fun, be safe, video lots!

[@destinationbluewheelnut9074]

I'm looking into starting my own metal works shop ,I have red seal auto repair ticket ,and I can weld ., I like your shop ,great ideas , my uncle has 20,000 plus sqf in Fiji island ,makes farm machinery,

[@bohaggin5913]

wtf, no air compressor? amazing shop. thanks for sharing

[@Djkyle65]

Did you buy the bolts / nuts bin setup prebuilt or buy the cabinet and outfitted it to your needs.

[@hopland1165]

Enjoyed the shop tour! Now have shop envy bad! No mention of a Plasma cutter do you use one?

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+hopland1165 Thanks, yes I have several. I prefer to use my Lincoln Tomahawk 675. It's small powerful, and the consumables seem to last a very very long time.
