[@Uswesi1527]

Full knowledge and understanding of basic principles is , really and actually, what separates top professionals from amateur kids.

In 1971 my Mother used to feed her cat outside .She would Set the bowl of dry food out at the kitchen door ... Then one day she heard a ruckus and the Hadedas were fighting with the cats to get the food . So she put a second bowl 🍜 of food further away from the cats bowl... Every night the Hadedas come to eat . They have been coming for over 50 years now ... The original pair and now there offspring. If my mother is late , the birds come to the kitchen door and sometimes into the kitchen to tell my mother they want their food 😂😂😂

[@AlienLivesMatter]

Wholesome

[@ratrodsafrica]

Great story! Sounds like my wife. She also sets out a separate cat food bowl for the birds, in our case for a bird called a Southern boubou. And they get all upset when "their" food is not there! I'm amazed that they don't meow like cats yet😄

[@johnperreault2280]

Hello again Diff. Thank you for the shout out to the Canadians that have been devastated by forest fires. It has been an exceptionally bad year for us. Fires from coast to coast. I am in the middle of the country and we to have experienced several major fires in our northern regions. Thank you for thinking of us and for your prayers. They are much appreciated

[@ratrodsafrica]

Least I could do. Also happy that we sent some firefighters to help. Good luck!

[@Uswesi1527]

Undoubtedly, but,definitely, it’s not high tech tools, no. It’s the power of the brain that controls the hands how to operate any tool.

[@ghazelhurst9803]

Thank you for the kind words about wild fires in Canada. As a Red Cross Volunteer it's been a busy year on both coasts with fires . Love your show again thank you

[@sergey.l]

One step at a time new piece of metal looses shine. To become a rusty one, but better, wiser… Neatly done!

[@danbolton3180]

Thanks for keeping me company for awhile. I'm making blackberry mead, and pear mead to use the fruit my neighbor's gifted me.🎉🎉

[@ratrodsafrica]

Enjoy!

[@bradpage8967]

When it came to hand bending, my father would say, I can make one alike but I’ll be damned if I can make two alike! You certainly got them VERY close to being alike!!! Can’t wait for your fender video!!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yeah, actually amazed myself! 😅

[@bulldogstrut1]

Your "Honey Do" gate turned out nice. Thanks for including it in your video.

[@ReduxGarage]

Thanks for the shout out. The smoke here is horrible, people are displaced and in some places they’re saying that the big pine trees will never grow back.

[@ratrodsafrica]

That's terrible. All the best!

[@richardlincoln8438]

Ah yes, the gate. " Happy Wife, Happy Life. " I enjoy the fabrication. Thanks for sharing Div. Best Wishes.

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Thank You for Sharing Your Skills with All Willing to Watch, You are Wise Beyond Your Years Diff. I appreciate you having us along, I’ll catch you on the next one. Until then, Keep it Safe Out There Sir

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks brother

[@jamesferrell9404]

A man can learn a lot from watching you in the shop. With just a few simple tools your designing it for your taste. Nothing straight or square. But curvy. And we love curves

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yeah man, straight is boring 🙂

[@NzLand3r]

Yeah man, fire is no joke. Prayers and blessings to those service people.

[@Motorhead-y3]

As Usual I can count on a Video just before Lunch that is well Worth the Relax Time.. Thank You Diff🤠

[@DaSoulmann]

Cheers Diff... thanks for mentioning the situation in BC and NWT... I live in BC and where I am. we are getting Air Quality Warnings for Smoke... along with some Arsonists trying to set fire (and sometimes succeeding) to the buildings around here... as always, sporting my 'Triple R' shirt, while enjoying watching your creativity, and skills at work.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Arsonists!? Frigging hell! The world has become a sick place...

[@DaSoulmann]

@@ratrodsafrica My Grandmother, at the age of 75 said to me "this is no longer my world" she was born in 1904, and passed away at the age of 90, so she had seen a lot... I am now 65, and can fully understand her perspective... this is no longer my world either... and on it goes, I am now just a spectator.

[@ratrodsafrica]

@DaSoulmann I agree 100%!! Which is why I now just try to hide in my little forest...

[@steptowdaughters2633]

That profile though,"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."Thank you and Cheers.

[@brianhaw9398]

Nice work, brother! It seems to me anytime there is sheet metal work to do ,I become a blood donor.

[@ratrodsafrica]

🤣

[@poesypoet]

From someone who lives in British Columbia I have to thank you for the mention still lots of fires here caused by poor forest management. Have a good one.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Its the least I could do brother. Strongs to you guys!

[@TheIIOM]

As always you take things that are plain and make them beautiful whether it's a side trim or a gate. Well done.

[@scssarge4409]

I had to smile as you have placed the 45 degree angel brace on gate the wrong way so it doesn't sag. Think bottom hinge to top opening handle. Love your videos and good luck. The tub is Beautifully custom made.

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good to See You Diff, Yes I am With You Sending Prayers to Our Brothers & Sisters in The North Country of Canada. Thank The Good Lord, Here in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States 🇺🇸 Wild Fires to any Extent are Extremely Rare. Mother Nature can be Brutal, there is no doubt. I Hope all that Celebrate, Happy Labor Day Keep It Safe Out There Folk’s

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

[@aceadman]

So good as usual. A little fabrication, a little explanation, a little thinking. You make it as fun to watch as to do! Love your gate (the curve detail is really nice), and the garden in front looks so inviting too. Thanks as always! 😊👍👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

[@FiremanDann]

You are a true craftsman with an amazing imagination, my friend. It is a pleasure to watch you work

[@andrewmantle7627]

More forest sculpture. Thanks Div.

[@alanmartinez45]

I really like it, you said that you wanted no bed.... But I think maybe a "seat" at the back, something between a park bench and a truck bed... It just seems to fit now that it has sides!

[@danielpancu9841]

Fire in the world... bad bussines... bad... luck my friend... luck... goodo work ... exactly, good work, great work, Duff.

[@RichardBrandonTeacup]

"I've been thinking.." 3 words that eats up weekends... :) Great vid as usual, thanks Div!

For a brief moment at 23:18, I heard the tail end of Whole Lotta Love. Rock on, brother!

[@davidwood1923]

I Love Watching the Direction You Go Everytime... You Got Skills and Tricks. I Like the Way the Gate Looks to... Keep Up the GREAT WORK! My South African Brother

[@Karkmotuning]

I like those bed side aprons. You have a good eye for design Div 👍

[@markrobertson9015]

What you create is your's and your wife is always part of the we.thanks for the cool video diff take care buddy.

[@pierrelataillade7564]

[@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641]

Love your gate and Elise ❤️ Peace and prosperity from Australia ✌🏼🇦🇺🌏

[@dannypeter6565]

Hey Diff, another great video with some awesome design and fabrication. Also thank you for your concerns for the fire evacuees in Canada and the territories. I am in central Alberta and we havent seen the sun for days due to the smoke but we are lucky that we are safe here. Cheers

[@jodycopeland1]

Gonna be one sweet ride wouldn’t consider it a rat rod it’s definitely a work of art street rod

[@larrymcgarage2152]

I look forward to your videos every Sunday. The Hudson is taking good shape. And yes, the honeydoo’s always take priority. Lol

[@mikejackman4416]

Thanks for the shout out to our fire ripped provinces

[@raymondantonio4145]

Hey Diff Thank you for the shout out to us up here in Canada, I’m in BC, right in the middle of the forest fire area and it’s a bit unnerving to say the least knowing that any time you can be called to evacuate and not knowing if you’ll have a home to come back to. I’ve been involved with cars my entire life and my life is in my shop, not sure what I would do if I came back and it was gone. Every day we pray for rain. As always I enjoy watching your videos and am amazed by your craftsmanship and skills, it’s amazing what you accomplish in a little shop in the jungle. Have an awesome week, see you in the next video.

[@ratrodsafrica]

I know the feeling! Sending prayers and wishing you all the best!

[@raymondantonio4145]

Thank you my friend

[@franktaylor7617]

😎👍🇺🇲 I looked directly at that spot you asked us not to look at 😳 Cheers brother from the PNW Seattle WA area.✌️🤘

[@snocrushr]

Beds are for sleeping, Boxes are hauling and transporting, and if it has no sides it's a deck as in Flat-deck. 😊

[@ratrodsafrica]

Man, I get so confused. Some talk of load beds, some of load bins, then cargo bed, truck bed... I dunno, maybe just double bed and fit a mattress...😂

[@donaldhalls2189]

It's looking great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones, have a Lekka one

[@edwardsnowden1380]

I do love the gate we made, the rat rod also…

[@trevorwoods2580]

First class work as per usual Diff. This is going to a stand out looking ratrod. Thanks for sharing it with us Diff.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you!

[@crazywickedcustoms7272]

Brother you are a true craftsman, you make me want to build again. Thank you sir

[@ratrodsafrica]

You should! Good for the soul...

[@Grizzmakes]

Another great episode. Sitting in Fayetteville, Arkansas at my friend Clem Johnson’s shop, Tuba Trucks Restorations, watching your episode. Loving those side skirts you created for the bedsides. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@thornwarbler]

A South African wizard named Diff Fixes cars with more holes than a sieve When he gets to bending tin bashing and welding They're the best cars that ever there is From the forest that he calls home Rat rods are organically grown So if you're in the market for a ratrodded project Kindly pick up the phone.

[@ratrodsafrica]

😀 Great! Thanks!

[@gregjobson4844]

The tub is looking good Div especially with the rocker panels taking some of the visual height away... nice job getting the shape into those rockers with basic machinery. Cheers Greg

[@johnnymac1580]

It’s been a while since I’ve heard it’s just a Rat Rod, I would have hinged the gate on the high side! Your the best on KZbin ⚡️

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks! 😊

[@DanDoge-wp7uj]

Fine job Diff. Getting some great shape to it. Less is more. Fine Rod. Great skills. And tutorials . Keep up the good work. Always enjoy my Sunday night. I found some music you might like. Called Jewish horn music..blowing down a goat horn. These guys are good. Could be good fab music. Crank up the volume.😂 See if birds copy it. I have a bird that should write Regea dub music. It's dam good. Have a good week Diff. Stay good. Lekka Boet Lekka.✌️

[@williamoliver8883]

The hadedas sound like my wife calling me out from my shop. Lol

[@ratrodsafrica]

😂

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Great work on those bed side rails and that piece of trim. Great lesson on bending metal without all the fancy tools.

[@TheKevy]

Amazing work! Been watching all the way. Texas metal, built a very similar truck, but not the same way. I prefer your approach. I live in British Columbia Canada. Thank-you for your kind words. Unfortunately. Our authorities held back the owners from helping.

[@ratrodsafrica]

I've heard about the authorities preventing owners from staying to protect their properties. A very controversial and debatable issue...

[@wallacejohnson316]

Love your work man well done I’m from New Orleans Louisiana god bless you my name is Wallace j Johnson enjoy everything you do man🙏😎😇👍

Thanks Wallace!

[@Dagrond]

I don't know if I could have ever just kept working on body parts when it is a roller now, so close to a quick test drive!

[@DoonerF]

Thanks my friend! It’s always wonderful to watch watch you figure things out. Even when you hold your template upside down. 😂 I really love the way you have everything to unbolt instead of just welding everything together. 👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the great work!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you AGAIN Harold! Appreciate!

[@ricklord7144]
