The Roll Cage Tends To Be A Challenge For The Rat Rod Wrecker!

Grayson needs his own channel for his builds. What an inspiration for others his age and older.

Abilities over mental agility,Paul proves how smart he is with the fabrication,that's a natural gift ,I'd take someone like this ,rather than someone to be claiming they are an expert with qualifications and title . Practical experience,how one is brought up as a child and Genes have a big part to play in how some approach life .Ben is included in this thinking and their methods of Madness prove their abilities.

The "make it up as we go" method of fabrication is truly inspiring. Cant wait to try it, screw something up big time, seriously

[@PaulBarwick]

Hunter, a compliment here from a guy who spend a few years being a freelance TV videographer in San Francisco. Your skills are getting good. I especially liked the view of the inside of the pipe from the far end as it was getting welded. Also a while ago I saw a nice shot of whatever the action was taken by aiming the camera at a reflection off of something. That's the kind of imagination that makes an outstanding photographer. Keep up the good work!

[@tyronsdragonden3392]

No one gets everything perfect. But a artists gets everything perfect as they make it happen. Paul is a true self-tot artist with metal fabrication.

[@michaelc.3812]

The power going out is called a “Trip and Reclose”. Happy you know that your recloser (a utility breaker) is set for lockout on the third fault (which is very typical). The recloser is a protection device meant to clear a fault on the distribution line (12.47 kV) rather than having a fuse blow on a fault. It’s a pretty cool system (I designed these systems three decades ago).

Paul is a genius. More of an artist than a fabricator. The time it would take to draw up plans would be a waste of time for all of theses one-off jobs. His ability to "see" a project and say cut it about here starts with an inate talent sharpened by a lot of experience.

Your power company reminds me of what we (late wife and I) put up with when we first moved to South Boardman, Michigan. If we saw a cloud in the sky the power would go out anywhere from a half hour to a couple of hours, truth, no exaggerating. After several years of putting up with that, they finally decided to burry some of the main feeder lines and finally would still have power with it raining. If you think I'm BS'ing, you have never had a rural power company like what we had.

I can so relate to the semi-fail on the halo bar on that roof. Built a cage for a SxS and used the halo on a A and B pillar like you did and nailed every length and bend but lost my horizontal plane an the tube ends were mismatched . We made a sleeve and fought that thing like crazy then parked a tractor on it and welder up! Like my dad told me , anybody can make it right but it takes a true craftsmen to make it wrong and fix it so nobody can tell!

Your family dynamics are awesome! It appears that Hunter is now part of the family. I believe that Ben and I must feel the same way. I work with my brother and we do custom contracting work in homes. He deals with the clients and five other guys and myself can't put our skills to work until he tells us what is in his head. That's where everything is kept. Lists do help productivity but we can't make one until he spills out what needs to be done. I work alone building and creating. One guy works in the cabinet shop and the other guys are paired off on other jobs. But we keep busy doing what we can see needs done. Then he shares the notes kept in his brain and we make a list. Thanks for sharing because I can relate Stay safe healthy and happy 👍

I remember filling the pipe with sand, heating with acetylene torch and bending around a steel wheel, an oxygen bottle, a 15 gallon drum, etc. Pretty much anything round was my bending die.
