    He is a professional without the professional tools. That's what a teacher needs to be. Thanks
  • @scottcaley6555
    I can hardly believe my eyes! The way you demonstrated a single approach to make tubing cope cuts at any angle, with common shop tools is truly astonishing! You are also an EXCELLENT teacher.

    I'm a farmer that makes my own gates and I learned quite a bit today, My gaps are going to be a lot less from now on. Thanks for sharing.
  • @oldgeek29577
    Not too long ago I made my first TIG welds after studying your videos. Now I just coped my first tube after watching this one. Much appreciated Justin, Thank you!
  • Usable information, without overwhelming us with useless details! It's enough for the newbie like me to start practicing! You're a good teacher!
  • @MrTeff999
    One of the best instructional videos I've seen. Thanks for seamless editing and clear, concise narration without hemming and hawing. Nice work too.
  • @bassgitter3929
    Just watched this video again for the first time in a few years, it's awesome to see how far you've come and it's obvious why you were able to do so. Congrats on your success man!
  • These are the gems that make YouTube so valuable. Low budget, low production cost, extreme expertise and a great teacher… thank you, brother! I’m going to go notch some tubes!
  • @TargaWheels
    Great video for the non-professional without professional tools. The biggest thing I took away from this video was the 1/3rd. Thanks for your help!!
  • @radicalsr8912
    Great job explaining this process. Unlike so many how-to videos in YouTube land, you've taken the time to show and also explain the finer details of this job in an easy to understand fashion. Well done!!
  • Hey, Yours Truly, you are a very fine teacher with a clear casual voice and obviously have enthusiasm for your craft & your audience. thanks, Justin!
  • @enzorocha2977
    One of the best channels on this topic (and then some). Thanks for sharing your vast, rich knowledge backed up by experience), the info is priceless-- a solid apprenticeship in my view.
  • Love the simplicity! Even a dunce like me understands this concept... Love your work. thank you.
  • @mickeykreg
    Thanks for this...after watching this my first notch turned out perfectly with a grinder (with a worn out flap disc). Thanks man! I dig your teaching style. Thanks for making it free.
  • Thanks for doing these videos, the entire channel actually. I'm doing my first full-on build and couldn't be more appreciative.
  • @803mastiff9
    I was in a tubing fabricators shop a while back and was impressed by the quality of work and more by the absence of equipment used. I asked if he used software to calculate bends, he replied he had at one time but found his human skills were more efficient and accurate. Skill sets via practice are a great compensator for tools. Nice Video!!
  • @ColdWarVet607
    Fantastic! I do everything else except Welding and Metal Working which thanks to you, I am now on my way to learning and improving fabrication principles! Thanks!
  • A poor workman will always blame his tools, or lack of tools. I Iike the fact that Justin, win or lose, just buckles down, learns and pushes for excellence. A professional in every sense.
  • @alan2804
    Really excellent video thanks so much for showing this, it was always a mystery to me how this was done so accurately.
