COLLABORATION With My Wife!! Tattoo Arm Rest Fabrication and Upholstery!! 

A wife who works with her husband in the shop, and likes to make things. Dude, you're livin' the dream!

A marriage made in heaven. Two Creative Geniuses. Well done guys, top job. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

As a retired chief engineer I can say that was beautifully done sir. Lovely craftsmanship! With Fireball Tool this is the best fabrication engineering channel on RU-vid. Your wife is impressively skilled at upholstery too, what a team!

Happy anniversary! So cool that the two of you get to do this stuff together!

You two work good together, a couple of artistic geniuses. Congratulations on 7 years, Happy Anniversary. My wife and I celebrate 50 years this year.

Awesome project, Kristina did an amazing job and was perfect on camera!!!

Getting in front of the camera is a hard thing to do, it feels really awkward. You both do a great job and look comfortable doing it! Keep up the good work.

Dang, i skipped this video for weeks because i thought a tattoo arm rest would be boring. Now i feel like i robbed myself after watching. Your thought process on making things is so impressive. The balljoint idea will be robbed by me for an attachment im making for a bench vise. Great work guys.

That thing is cool as! The world needs more craftsmen like the two of you.

Kristina is delightful. Congrats on your anniversary. My wife and I are at 43 years so far and she hasn't killed me yet. Beautiful stand.

What a great project! You two make a great team!

I"ve become a huge fan, You two are rad!!! This is my favorite content to watch now. Keep it up!

I love how excited You are bout the ball joint!! Sweet idea!!!

The paperclips instead of pins for sewing is genius!

The two of you are two pea's in a pod, extremely talented, and extremely entertaining. Thanks Mick.

Karl, you have every right to be proud of your lady, caught yourself a looker!! Nice job on the stand

Next level fabrication!!! Awesome!

You guys are so cute together. Glad to finally see who the real boss is. Love these videos

That came together so well, I am amazed! You two together could fabricate those and sell them world-wide.

All of a sudden this has become my favorite channel.

I love when you make something new, and I have no friggin idea what you're doing, and then, like magic, the parts start coming together and it's like: holy crap, that's insane! Thanks for another awesome vid! Hope y'all do more collaboration projects.

You and your wife are amazing I love watching and getting ideas on the sheet metal stuff thank you from Michigan happy anniversary

That turned out so good. Yall are a perfect team. Great job

King of fab. Class act couple!

I am so glad to see so many young enthusiasts using their hands, heads and hearts to build. From an old hot rodder, thank you for keeping the passion alive!

AN awesome build for sure. I really love the stand, and the "off the cuff" engineering that went into it! Happy seventh anniversary guys!

Wow, Karl another piece of superb craftsmanship and engineering, fantastic and also the work that Kristina has done to finish it, it looks shop bought, brilliant. Peter from Sheffield (Steel City) England.

Well done guy's the finished product looked great.

Love how happy you were showing off the completed ball joint assembly! It's nice when you enjoy what you do!

I'm new to your channel, but now addicted to it. You are an amazing couple, multi talented. I love your filming/editing style. I am an ex fabricator/engineer and honestly I'm envious of your workshop and equipment. I get frustrated these days, because I have the skills but no space, or equipment so can't create anything with my hands. So I watch you do it for me. 😃👍

This is a great video. Neat the two of you shared the in the project. It turned out fantastic, neat gift. Thanks for sharing.

Using the lathe as a welding jig is something I have never seen before. I like. Great job!

Lots of thought went into that design, and a great execution. Happy anniversary

Great video and the two of you working on a project together shows how much you complement each other. And doing something that is not directly related to the actual car projects you normally do it’s interesting, like you said you had to do a little brain scratching to figure out what you need to do. A few years ago I was in a retraining program for auto body/mechanics, the local vendor/ supplier had a problem with walking and getting into his high bumper cube truck. So I took it on myself to fabricate a folding step ladder to help him. The project was great and when I installed it he was so excited and taken back that I would do that for him he was almost in tears. And I just wanted to help him and make his life a little easier and it was fun to do and I feel good about doing it for him.

Nice to meet both of you! And as always another fun video!

One of my favorite episodes yet, keep up the good work and happy anniversary to both of you! Phenomenal job on the stand.

That turned out awesome. It was great to watch you two working on a project together. it's a really cool, rare thing you two have. You both do really good work.

Super rad !!

A super job all around,got to see more of the fantastic duel, ok son time to give that little lady a corner of the shop,

I never knew Fitz’s name was actually Tony. 😂. I’ve learned so much from Tony, just like I’m learning from you. 👍😎👍. Both of your channels are killing it.

You guys are the dream team. The work you guys do is inspirational!

Great job guys. You're wife did awesome. Shes like the bob ross of upholstery! Loved this video!

Beautiful couple. Great video. Life is good.

That's an awesome collaboration.... metal art ... and the fabric part looks awesome, the process.

thats top notch metal work right there. awesome.

Awesome stand and team work! 👏👏👏😁😁😁

She’s a natural!! She could have a Make It Kustom Soft Fab Channel

Absolutely wicked work!! Thanks for sharing behind the scenes for both pieces!

You guys are killin it! 👍🏻

Need to see more of Christina in the videos! She did an awesome job. You guys work great together!

What a great duo you two are! Awesome brother. I love your channel even more now. Great build as always.

Using a lathe to center the ball and rod is a great idea. Also, knowing you can weld stainless steel and soft metal using a TIG welder and a special welding rod is good. Thank you!

You're both done very well nice job

Turned out awesome. You two look like you have fun working together. She really good, you make a good team.

Congratulations on your anniversary! My wife and I just got our new Japhands Hoodies and T shirts! Soo awesome!! Thanks again you guys! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Really SWEET!!👍

Cute couple, you make a great team. Really enjoying your content. Looking forward to the Caddy build as well as other car projects.

What a cool project! Awesome job both of you!!!

what an Awesome team project!.. my daughter would love one of those !

Awesome and happy anniversary

Love you guys. Well spoken, articulate and a refreshing teaching style. I am restoring a 1956 International Cab over truck. All the best from Jantheman downunder in oz

The ball joint is a great idea... it's all about how you can manipulate metal in various ways and then putting it to use. Great job!

I have to get a tattoo now !! Awesome build clever idea with the ball bearing !

I'd love some more episodes on material science. I would of never guessed about the bronze on steel.

Turned out sweet Congrats on the 7th Anniversary.

The two of you are skilful AND adorable💚 Don't change a thing.

Fantastic team, great work love the video. Thanks

congratulations 🥳 to you both Mr and Miss Make it Kustom Awesome job guys 👍💯🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘

Awesome project from the problem solving to the fab and upholstery..well done!

Great frame design. Great upholstery work. You've been upstaged by a new master! And happy anniversary too!!!

Just keeps getting better and better! Super impressed friend!

Cutting foam, an electric carving knife is the bomb! Thrift shop and your set. Scissors are easily sharpened, take out the screw and replicate the original bevel. 80 grit works great for heavy stuff like what you are doing here. Dot of oil and you are set till next time. Easy for you!

Great video and awesome project! You two are great together!👍😊

I find it most amazing that a young pup like you knows how to use a manual lathe and mill. Wow. Great skills. They don't even teach that any more, everything is CNC. Great welding also. And lots of clever fixes that I might need some day. Keep it up. Happy anniversary. Best fab/welding channel around.

Awesome 👌

Finished product is awesome!!!

So happy I found this channel. Great project and execution. Congrats on the anniversary!

Nice save with the slit in the tube! You guys killed it on this one!

WOW Karl that was amazing on both of your parts and your such a great helper!!! Lol. Yall make a great team and your very talented young folks which is so awsome!!! And CONGRATULATIONS ON 7YRS!!!!

Happy belated Anniversary guys, best of health and happiness.

Congrats on your seventh anniversary. Thanks for the great content, and love your awesome hot rod😎. 🤙

The next generation of Crafty-B and Stitch! I learned alot in the video. Thanks again!

FITZEE IS A LEGEND...... I JUST SEEN A VIDEO WHERE HE MENTIONED YOU IN IT AS WELL.... THAT WAS A KILLER SET-UP BROTHER.... AND NOICE JOB ON THE PAD KRISTINA.... YOU TWO ARE THE "SMILE-EST" PEOPLE EVER!! "PERMA-GRIN MADE KUSTOM"

Very beautiful stand and happy anniversary!!!

Both of you have tones of talent. I just starting watching your mental work I like what I see great work.

Great design and craftsmanship!

Very cool! I think that Mexican blanket cushion would make great street rod upholstery.

You are a killer duet. Absolutely love your work and your teaching style is great! I second the shout out for Fitzees fabrications! He does amazing work with the simplest tools, such a talent

Thanks for sharing the details of the build in it's entirety! Very well done! Be safe!

That was a very nicely designed and built stand, I can see how handy and useful it can be. It's nice to see collaboration with your wife, you both are very presentable on camera. You two look happy together.

Man, everything I've watched that you guys produce holds my attention right to the end. This vid was really interesting. Great content, editing (no wasted watching time by me, no fluff content), and a big opportunity to learn stuff. Thumbs up, guys!

That stand is insane! I'm stealing that ball joint design. Thanks for sharing.

You two make a great team! I know what it's like to have the support of a great woman! Keep it up!

Y’all killed it! You’re right that pad would make a super cool mini bike seat!

Killer stand for sure. Nice to have a wife that can add to the project in her way.

Congrats on 7 years! And great job on the stand!

Awesome shoutout to Fitzees Fabrications. I watch him as well.

LOVE YOUR HUMBLE NATURE Karl 🙏 That's WHY I'M a FAN👍👌😎STAY GROUNDED

Congrats guys on seven years. Great work. When using stainless fasteners the general rule is to use different grades ie; 304 bolt with 316 nut or vice versa. The difference in hardness, along with nickel anti-seize almost always prevents galling.

You guys make killer stuff!! Great work to the both of you.
