Welcome to The Fab Forums. My name is Kyle Voss and I produce Custom Motorsports Fabrication content of all forms for you. Carbon Fiber, TIG Welding, Metal Shaping, Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Custom Choppers, and everything in between. I work hard to bring you new content on a weekly basis.
Here are some of the builds you can find on this channel.
I have built several Chevy trucks on this channel. The first was my 1964 C10 named Crown Spoyal and the most recent C10 truck project was the 1969 I currently have named the Black Pearl.
I am also finishing up a custom twin turbo Ford Mustang build I call the Gray Goose. It’s a 400 cubic inch Windsor style engine with twin 70mm turbos. I am hoping to make around the 1000 horse power mark to the tires on this particular build.
Last but not least is the one off custom hot rod build called the Bibbster. This is what I call a modern day hot rod. It’s made from an old Ford Mustang foxbody, but made to look like an old school open wheeled hot rod.
I also feature other fabricators and shops like Cutworm Specialties hand formed aluminum wide body kit for a BMW e46. Jeb Greenstone has also built a twin turbo, coyote powered model A style hot rod from scratch, and is currently building a Toyota TE72 wagon drift car powered by a 1UZ Lexus v8. Jeb’s custom fabrication skills are fun to watch and always make for good videos.
Check out my playlist to see some or all of these builds.

Well fuck, I'm buying one now, and I'll use your link. I saw one of these from another company but it was like 50 bux, which I wasn't about to spend on a power strip. That's excellent for a work bench.

[@Thefabforums]

awesome

[@genefoster7238]

I like Friday fool keep it up. I have 1 but your wright I need more I am kinda a tight ass.

[@Thefabforums]

lol...me too

[@mikep3142]

You call me a fool, but you are the one who calls sockets, plugs.

[@georger9998]

My 8 year old says it’s not Friday fool 😆 cause we watching it on Tuesday 4/24. 😆

[@Thefabforums]

he would be right

[@andy.hanway]

Is it still working good for you any issues?

[@alcyr5655]

I picked up a similar one at Princess Auto a few years ago. Canada's version of Harbour Freight. It doesn't have a breaker, my switch is for on/off. It works great. A flick of the switch everything is powered off. Or leave it on for chargers, and unplug what you don't want powered up.

[@Thefabforums]

yeah for sure

[@wheatonsspeedshop1412]

Absolutely loving this channel

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@Cgd33]

hahahaha I'm here high as shit trying to figure out ways to make my growing room more efficient and you had me laughing so hard introducing this product. New sub!

[@joctatum5268]

Glad its back Kyle!!! Keep them coming

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@thatsmydawg]

How much

[@Calyp5.0]

I have three of them, two are hard wired into my electric in my garage, one for each bench and are 20Amp rated. Then I got one like the one in your video mounted to the back of my fab table where I can plug in my grinders, benchtop disc/belt sander and Porta-band saw. The extra outlets and proximity of them helps with the creative process. Great vid!

[@Thefabforums]

awesome

[@paulangeli9710]

Evin Hill the 20 models are hard to find at the local hardware stores. Where did you find yours?

[@Calyp5.0]

I got them off of amazon. Here's the link - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006B820/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@paulangeli9710]

Thanks a lot!

[@DaCake2]

Serious question for you or anyone else who might have the answer? I'm currently turning my 2 car tandem garage into a dedicated wood and metal shop and like you, I want to have outlets at all my stations. My original idea and design was to run one long conduit pipe across the entire length of the garage and add outlets that way. My question is, why would someone go that route and not add these and daisy chain them? I assume its a cost thing correct? I haven't looked into how much its going to cost me to run the conduit with outlets, but I assume its going to be a fraction of the cost. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@Thefabforums]

conduit would be the appropriate way to do it

[@DaCake2]

The Fab Forums Thanks for the reply. Mind telling me exactly why though? Is it a safety thing or a cost thing? Obviously it will look a hell of a lot better with the conduit. Thanks again.

[@RINEYMOTORSPORTS]

I think it's funny how the one in the video is a Harbor Freight Tools but there's an Amazon link in the description love the channel keep the videos coming you're an awesome fabguy

[@Carlos-ct5jx]

3 years later I’d like to know how you felt or feel on the power strip now. If you still have and use it, or don’t and why?

[@Dhi-fe5eu]

The plastic end caps are there to protect the ends of the power strip. Once you get it home. Throw caps away.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

Nice one Kyle.... 👉 Tool: anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose

[@Thefabforums]

thats for sure

Currently unavailable.

[@zxrjimmy1]

Where the hell have u been, Friday is not Friday without the Friday fool video

[@Thefabforums]

lol.....gonna try my best to keep them truckin

[@justinloos4673]

I bought this Stanley brand power strip about two months ago... the breaker/switch just failed on me yesterday.

[@Thefabforums]

that sucks

[@NGinuity]

The 110 circuit that you plug that into is likely rated for 15 amps, so if you're pushing that in the power strip it's probably going to trip the breaker anyway. I'd say you're good to go. I use those for computer server racks because the power conditioner/battery backups I use sometimes only have 1 output plug. They work great.

[@Thefabforums]

cool

[@donaldpowers5557]

KYLE TO BE HONEST I ACTUALLY HAVE REALLY ONE ONE SOME 6' FT.....NEED TO TAKE THEM TO NEXT SWAP MEETS CONROE TEXAS. BEEN BUSY OF LATE......I'VE BEEN WANTING A 440 STEEL CRANK AND ALL ...ONE CAME MY WAY ITS INCA 69 CROWN IMPERIAL...I GOT IT RUNNIN...

[@jamesweber4938]

[@Thefabforums]

I will have something very soon for ya

[@joeminer4261]

what I like along with the technical stuff is the enthusiasm you put in to it. keep up the good work brah.

[@Thefabforums]

thanks

[@ottogarza]

What happens if i conect 8 lights to charge? Eqch of this lights has his own 110v input/ 24volta output 2.0amps (16amps in total i guess and need to chathe at the same time)

[@mikeymasi]

Any word on why they space each plug like 6 inches apart surely 3-4" spacing would be enough, no?

[@Thefabforums]

they are only about 3-4 inches apart

[@TheMick26]

Hey Kyle. Good to see you bring this segment back. It felt a bit nostalgic hearing those words again.😄 My youngest daughter, Kiera, used to watch a lot of these with me after work on Friday and today is her birthday, so we watched for old time's sake.👍 A couple of those power strips strategically placed in the new shop will be nice. I have a 2 foot version in mine and one of those 30' retractable reels mounted to the ceiling as well. Good stuff, man. Have a great weekend.

[@Thefabforums]

Awesome....Tell her I said Happy Birthday

[@TheMick26]

The Fab Forums haha... nice of you, man. She said thank you.🙏

[@martinlavoie4002]

[@St3althMonger]

Those things are awesome and very handy! But I have a 5 or 6 foot one that has 27 plugs in it. Love it. Got it for free our of a warehouse I was moving office furniture out of. Could have gotten another one but it had gotten crushed unfortunately. Love your videos!

[@Thefabforums]

[@tampametal]

I have the utilitech version and some plugs don’t fit all the way in and it’s so aggravating

[@RaysBlueBasementWorkshop]

I don't need one of those.I need several of those.Good thing HFT has a coupon for $14.99.

[@greenchilaquiles]

Would this work for the power brick ac adapters from the retro consoles like the nes/genesis/super nintendo? I got like 8 consoles and i don't want to start a fire.

[@RINEYMOTORSPORTS]

The one he has in the video is from Harbor Freight Tools not Amazon

[@Thefabforums]

no it actually came from amazon

[@One_of_Many750]

Twelve Outlets, Four Feet. Last I Checked Twelve Multiplied By Four, Equals Forty-Eight. Four Feet, Is Equivalent To Forty-Eight Inches. Very Clever!!

Plastics are protectors for shipping, since the end mounting tabs are pretty thin, and bend easily.

[@fabricobblegarage9545]

Both of the two

[@writtenbyrharrison]
