[@Wheelsanstuff]

Aren’t we all

[@crispy8329]

He admitted that multiple times on his shows. Wanted to be left alone to just work!

[@omentep]

Always appreciated Jesse's shows where he worked his own fabrications showing the entire process' and teaching's. Don't care what anyone else thought of the guy, he seemed to never waiver from being himself when the camera's turned on, which is probably why the networks never fleshed something out with him that lasted being too afraid of someone that real and raw.

[@mr.nobody68]

You're forgetting that he hates the cameras and fame In his autobiography, Jesse said Thom Beers from Discovery approached Jesse with the idea and name for American Chopper. Jesse said let's just do one bike. That was Motorcycle Mania. Monster Garage was Jesse's idea

[@floppyebrokent8578]

This part could be fiber cut in seconds, but it's so refreshing to see a craftsman using his skill. Definitely an artist

"You can buy one , Looks like it was cut on a water jet but you can do it with a drill press and band saw that you can borrow from someone" . I love this guy , a true craftsman and has never gotten away from his true self . Respect man

Jesse is one of the best fabricators I have ever seen in my lifetime. Love that Guy!!!

[@rennch.]

I love that he has evolved from his former self, who was kind of the "genius a-hole" into a real mentor. I'd love to spend a weekend in his shop and just learn whatever I could.

[@tttarms1970]

He came back and grounded himself. Not a Hollywood star, realized he had to go back to his roots. Because that's what he's meant to do

[@rennch.]

@@91750fast yea you could be right about that.

[@davidstemm9059]

Yeah I think he resented fame to some degree. Dude just wanted to make stuff and be left h alone. Discovery found him and rode him until he just kind of snapped. Never will forgot how sad he looked being in the stage with the Tuetells from OCC - he was genuinely pissed in that moment that he allowed himself to be sucked into that. Just my opinion. Certainly seems to be happy at home in his shop, alone, and building whatever he wants. Mad respect for this guy.

I've been an autobody painter and collision technician for over 30 years. I've designed and built my own turbo charger systems , designed my own wrecker boom, and many other tools and equipment. Jesse James AWS me every time I watch him. He is absolutely the best of the best in everything he does and puts his mind to. God bless you Jesse James

[@user-bl8bn4kb8m]

Jesse could have a show every week and teach us how to fabricate!

[@apexvadeor3670]

It’s be great

[@chong3632]

Considering how badly I want to be able to fabricate half as well as him I'd watch it

[@Willardmcd]

Yep awesome I have used these tricks made shit from nothing when I needed it, like he said with a drill. I have used a hand drill held to a table with clamps and a vise. Then a freaking belt sander to smooth it out. It’s definitely not the best way but it can be done you have the will there is always a way. Good shit agreed I could watch him make things all day very inspiring. There is definitely some to be said working with your hands.

This guy is awesome. Back in 2004 or 2005, while stationed in california we did a trip to some forts around the huntington beach area. We decided to go in uniform, so we could do it during work hours. Our platoon sergeant was familiar with the area, and wanted to show us Jessie’s shop. We were creeping aound the parking lot, and he came out and saw us. This guy loves Soldiers. He “kidnapped” us for the rest of the day. He kicked out a filming crew from the shop and took us all over the place. I was just getting started on welding and fabrication, so of course i wanted his authograph. So i asked him to sign my army hat, and he refused. He went to his welding station and grabbed his miller helmet, the one with the american flag on it(the one he used during Monster Garage), signed it and gave it to me. I still have that helmet in my shop. He got us food and we just hung out for the rest of the day.

[@crispy-k]

I wish i could have a job like this. He seems like such a simple nice guy. Famous maybe, but he's just a regular guy that loves what he does. Awesome!

[@heyreddin2.0s10]

Havent heard or seen anything from jessie in years. Glad to see hes still building bikes ect. 👍

[@Greasyfingers60]

Great seeing him again in action. This reminded me of Norm Abram in his New Yankee Workshop, with all the machines he uses to make a project. Still, all this can be done with what you have; it just takes patience and a passion to do it right. Great lessons there from a master of the trade.

[@jayyoung5423]

[@Shane-Singleton]

I've been a fan of his since I saw the first special on Discovery Channel years ago. For all his exploits, fanfare, ups and downs, etc. over the years my favorite thing to watch him do is teach somebody how to make something exactly like he's doing here. Not just "Hey check out how awesome I am at fabrication!!" He shows you how to do it. Gives you tips and tricks. A master of his craft truly at his best when he is teaching.

Jesse James is one of those people you feel like you should dislike, but you just can't. His style is perfect, and it's wonderful to watch him work. He's like a crabby Indian Larry.

[@Based_Morty]

I watched Jesse as a young kid. Now at 32, I make and fix practically everything within reason. My day job is a machinist, but at home I don't have fancy machines, I do tons of handwork and finishing, it's often hard and takes a long tine, but I do it. Why? Easy...it gives me purpose and a sense of accomplishment. Something that means more than money, something that's important, and something many people are missing now days. So take time to turn off the TV, turn on the radio, and work with your hands. Not because it makes money, but because it's vital to living a happy and productive life. Thanks Jesse for turning me onto this path at a young age. I'm grateful for it.

I work right by Austin Speed Shop. One day I'm riding my motorcycle to work. I stop at a light, and a chopper pulls next to me. I look over, and there's Jesse. First time I've seen him in the wild. I give a little wave, and he points to my bike and gives me a thumb's up. Now, I'm on a pretty pedestrian Vstrom but he's nice enough to say "Hey, like your wheels". Cool guy. And, very talented. They do cool work there, seen a lot of wheels rolling out.
