As a father myself that has had the great fortune of spending time with them as they grew into their teens, I can wholeheartedly appreciate what your'e doing. Money can always be made, memories of our children's youth...well that cannot be repeated. I for one, have missed your videos and content. Looking forward to what the future holds for you and your family Justin, always forward!

[@JustVoss]

Thanks Lee, and that’s really reassuring. I’ve already enjoyed the time I have had, have been driving them to school almost every day. I’m really looking forward to it.

[@branchandfoundry560]

@@JustVoss Hey Justin, you're doing the right thing. I was a stay at home dad for 13yrs (here in Charlotte), while running a side business and a non-profit. Covid put my wife working from home and allowed me to return to the shop full time, which I needed for my own sanity. Long story short--balance is hard to harness, but make family the keystone you build everything else around. Best, Andrew Thiessen

I left the car dealership in 2004, bought out one of our vendors and went on my own. My daughter was not quite 18 months old, my son was born later that year. Working for yourself isn't for everyone but if you do it right, you'll never miss a play, game, school event, etc. And it's worth it. Congrats, you are definitely doing the right thing. Money isn't everything. I've almost never missed any event my kids have had. Now the daughter is first year college and my son is a HS junior. He wrestles and I never miss a match, and I won't next year, either. No regrets at all.

[@JustVoss]

That’s awesome, it’s definitely not for everyone but everything you said is the reason why I’m doing it.

[@SealofPerfection]

@@JustVoss Yep, you only get one go-round with your kids. Gotta make the most of it because it seems like just a year or two ago both mine were in middle school...and now, it's almost over. Time flies, as they say

[@hoffa_82nd2]

Justin....Great video and a better story. I can relate to your time in NASCAR. I spent over 23yrs in the US Army stationed at Ft. Bragg. I was always gone and away from my family and missed a lot of my two sons up bringing. I admire your dedication, commitment and the love you have for the sport of NASCAR. I am a huge fan of the sport and love watching the behind-the-scenes guys who make it happen. After my retirement of 23yrs (which was the hardest choice to make), I too had to change direction down an unknown path. I was always good with my hands and working on cars. So, with the support of my wife I purchased a 1941 ford Pickup with the hope of one day ripping around my small NH town. This past Xmas my wife bought a Tig welder and Plasma cutter and have learned a great deal from watching your Video's. Thank You and all the best.

[@martinjones4776]

Welcome to the world of been self-employed. I've been subscribed for a while now, thank you for the welding videos & all the best for the future.

[@JustVoss]

Thanks!

[@scottmacdonald6088]

thanks for the motivation Justin. I've been trying to start my own fab biz to have more flexibility for my family but I'm finding out how much you have to grind to get it started. I know where your coming from so keep up with it and help me out by creating more great content. Thanks 👍

[@mikeallen266]

Good luck Justin! Looking forward to seeing your next build. And of course a shop tour so we can see your new stuff 😎

[@mikesilvestri5651]

Justin thank you for sharing your life with us! As a father myself who has had custody of my two kids (2&4) for the past 2 years and they haven’t talked to their mother in over a year. Made me greatfull to quit my job and be home raising my kids. I could never imagine not being there. You have definitely been an inspiration for me since the first video of yours I watched! So glad to see you’ll be back making more! Definitely looking forward to that! And best of luck with your future plans!

[@philipclark6841]

Good on you bro. Looking forward to seeing where this journey takes you!

[@michaelface4159]

I can totally relate to your video and your decisions. Good luck in your new venture. Btw I got one of your stainless dice kits to help me with my stainless tig skills, nice product and look forward to more of your videos

[@magnus5356]

Definitely the right choice, especially since you've been thinking about doing your own stuff for a long time and the racing work seemed very unstable and nkt really the fun part of that industry. I worked with racing myself and definitely enjoyed the shop time mlre than track side work.

[@elesjuan]

That's a pretty interesting story, thanks for sharing. Good luck with the new venture dude!

[@quattrolabs_3383]

Thrilled to see you back at making videos. Also use your defiant metal gloves and absolutely love them. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration for sure. I've been wanting to branch off and start my own business in the automotive industry.

[@JustVoss]

Thank you and glad you like the gloves! Starting something for myself has always been in my mind and it’s a lot harder than people think. Especially once you join the normal rat race.

[@yesdeere1376]

Cool story man! I come from a dirt track family myself and have a lot of good memories from the track and garage. It’s hard to not be into fab coming from that so here I am. That’s an amazing welding table man. I’m a bit envious. 👍🏻

[@joeolejar]

Great content as I've come to expect from you. Sometimes leaving a position can be unnerving. I enjoyed hearing how you made the transition in a way that worked for you.

[@JustVoss]

Thank you, it wasn’t too hard of a decision because knew I was ready. Doing it a year or two earlier when I should have would have been the really unsettling decision and probably why I waited.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Glad your back i really enjoy your videos and the production value is great, I had a tasted of the race team ax myself, I decided it wasn't for me lol.

[@Pterodactyl-kn3ve]

Your story telling and editing… flawless!

[@CaptainCalmer]

Your story is inspirational, sir, thank you for sharing and all the hard work 🤙

[@willyzook]

Man I wish I would’ve know there was such a thing as the NASCAR Institute when I was young. I’ve welded for over 20 years, all types of welding and from fab shops & factory lines to traveling around the country welding pipe and boiler tubes. I always wanted to get involved in fabricating NASCAR’s, but not bad enough to find out how to get into l supposed lol.

[@Thewatson77]

Quite the story indeed. I remember your original video back then. It takes a lot to make some of those choices but it looks like you’re making them for the right reasons. 👍🏼

[@JustVoss]

Thank you! And glad you have been around and stopping in for so long. I’m definitely excited.

[@justinscott82]

Looking forward to seeing some more content from you.

[@turbofarviknugnnick5540]

Looking forward to your future content

[@jimcarstens4212]

Wow. What a story! I wish you the best & look forward to seeing more videos!

[@JustVoss]

Thanks!

[@SteveCole73]

Ok, in on the ground floor. Let's do it. I got some welding and fabrication to do for a mini bus to RV specially designed for my son's medical needs. Lots to do, lots to learn, I will be watching.

[@JustVoss]

Awesome and it can be really enjoyable to learn and rewarding.

[@SteveCole73]

@@JustVoss I am a mechanical engineer, I eat this stuff up.

[@jawracing911]

Great back story. Wishing you and your family all the very best moving forward into this next phase of life.

[@waggtech4883]

Did you make the fume extractor at the weld bench? I’d never thought of using a Copus Vano…

[@rickhaass1133]

Your video editing skills and scene setups are top notch, not to mention you have a subject matter that's pretty popular these days. I'm sure the time spent on all this is painful, but I would imagine it will get easier as your workflow becomes more routine and firms up. Good luck... I subscribed and will be following your journey sir.

[@JustVoss]

Thanks Rick! It will hopefully get easier… but I also don’t want to make routine videos so we will see. Everything takes longer than expected.

[@justintasht1067]

Definitely a massive 👍 up. can’t wait to see all the videos coming looks like you’ve got a nice load of fabrication goodies 👍👍

[@JustVoss]

Thanks! Have been working on gathering stuff for a very long time

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Wowers that's definitely very huge news. Congrats on your new chapter in your life journey ahead of you voss. Very nice job reorganizeing you're shop and your garage. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Voss. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.

[@JustVoss]

Thanks Jared!

@@JustVoss There it goes Ill start tomorow. Well see how it goes. Thanks. 👍🏻

[@Reese-hz9vp]

Gonna miss see you at in the pits the few times a year I get to a race. On another note I had no idea you were with AD and Ty for so long. Longer than I’ve been following them by a couple months actually and that’s saying something lol. Now go enjoy your time with you family. Can’t think of anything more important than that

[@biggieb400]

Best of luck Justin

[@kmonnier]

Heckin good video, that was a lot to cover, but it was very clear.

[@JustVoss]

Thanks for that, worried it was too much taking since that’s not what I normally do.

[@bigleroy753]

Good luck and congrats. You will do well. I wear the effin hell out of your gloves!!!! I weld at work for a construction company where they get abused ALL DAY every day, then I have another pair for my home shop. I love used to only wear miller gloves but defiants are really really great!!!!!

[@hdhhc5555]

I miss Dirt late model weekly. It was awesome Justin.

[@JustVoss]

Same

[@hdhhc5555]

Well tell Mike, and I forget the big guys name at the moment to get it going again!! It was a great show to listen to. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

[@hdhhc5555]

Hope all is well my friend. With you and your family. You are a great man.

[@michael-michaelmotorcycle]

Cool story bro 😂😎👍 Looking forward to more vids.

[@uncledave8857]

I seem to remember there being some Voss' at school in Waukee, Iowa. Any relation?

I don’t think so but possible

[@dimeweld]

Do a tools video and how to use em

Family is first my friend. Hope all is well !!

Hope all is well with you too!

[@markparker7720]

You only get one chance to raise your kids. I think you made the right decision. I am a little jealous of your welding table though.

[@simulationjunkie]

Great story…. Keep grinding!

[@JustVoss]

Thank you!

[@akschu1]

As a parent I commend your choice to focus on family. That said, know that our culture is a monster with its jaws around our children. Be super diligent with who their friends are, where they go online, and what they are subjecting themselves to. Best thing is to actively fill their time with stuff you want them to learn and know. When they are old enough, make them part of the family business. Best wishes!
