In this continuing How-To series, Jesse James, the master fabricator shares his incredible craftsmanship as he demonstrates the art of making fenders. This project is especially meaningful to Jesse because making fenders is how he got his start and propelled him to the top of the motorcycle building world.

Great way to gain knowledge if you're interested in metal fabrication.
First off, I don't know how a person could buy this INSTRUCTIONAL "How to" video and expect it to be highly entertaining when you have no interest in fabricating in the first place! No wonder it got 3 stars by some. This video shows a good deal of the methods and tooling used by Jesse to fabricate a fender from flat sheet. I like the fact he goes over the basic techniques so you get a good overall idea of how the process works. It could be more informative, but I was surprised of how detailed and long this video was for under $5. I didn't feel like this video left much out, especially when compared to other metal working videos that are $40 or more. Another feather in your metal working cap.

Like spending the day learning from a Master Craftsman in his personal shop.
Jessie James originally became famous for the fenders he personally built in his home garage. Play these DVD's, and you'll feel like you are right there with Jessie in his home garage being taught how to build his unique fender. From start to finished product he'll coach you the entire way, showing you how a true craftsman does it. No CNC, no WaterJet, just tools and muscle. I was extremely impressed with this production. Jessie says himself that he's doing this in reponse to the number of people that have contacted him to intern and learn from him. These DVD's are him giving away that knowledge for a pittance. I bought all three, and would rate the Bomber seat video a close second to this one. The exhaust video isn't quite as personal or intimate, thus I rate it 3rd.

fabricator friendly
Jesse Jane is one of the top fabricators of our time....its so nice to see a DVD where you see Jesse take the time to teach you and his fellow fabricators to do what he does so easily without all the bs tv guff.....if your a fan of Jesse, Hotrods, or fabrication, this DVD is worth the money.

Not bad...
I like some of his other videos better, but if you haven't seen it and are into all this stuff then it'd be good to watch.

boring
I got this for my brother as a gift. We watched it together. It was so boring, my brother did not like it. He rides a bike too. He is now going to take the others off he's gift ideas list.
