I just had to show you all a tour of my dad's machine shop. This was his first business and continues to do it almost 60 years later. #harleydavidson #dragonamn #dragonmans #bike #motorcycle #machineshop
Yup, need more 67 year old kids in this world.Most people grow up,and out of silly names,we grow out of those fantasy animals that never were real.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
@@MrAlittle5150 don’t know what the scene was by you, but the bike scene in the Chicago burbs in the 70s and 80s was up for grabs. It was a non-stop party on two wheels. Be glad you were part of it.
@@jeffreylonigro4081 I just remember, people who rode Harley believed in America. If you rode a Harley you drove and bought American only. Not like today where some guy goes and take his Harley for a ride and then goes home and jumps in his Toyota to go to work. Or these people driving foreign car with Harley stickers on them. Different time, different culture.
@@MrAlittle5150 yup! We rode Harleys because they were the last American made bike! American tools; American truck and American boots. Great point, bro!
A dads dream, When his children ask to see what he does for a living. You can see the pure joy as he gets to explain all that he has and has worked so hard to keep. If someone were to ask how or why he got any one of them tools he’ll have a story to tell that’ll take half the day!
What an incredible wealth of knowledge in a single video. He can do everything and anything he wants to create or build in that shop. Thanks for sharing with us, Ava!
You would do well Ava, to learn all you can from your father. Eventually and inevitably, he will be gone and his skills will be gone too unless you take the initiative to learn all you can to pass on to your new and immediate family. I do not say this as an insult please take what you will from this comment. You're a good looking woman and should be thinking about your future and where your place will be in it.
Thanks for the tour. I run & operate a machine shop along with my brother, started by my dad & grandpap. We do general machine work and make carbide wire drawing dies. A tour like this great just for the fact that 99.99% of the general public have no idea how products are made or repaired now-a-days and the amount of equipment and knowledge it take to accomplish the job. Thanks again.
Absolutely Wow! Nasa is only trotting behind your dad and he looks like a kid with all those years behind him.Thanks for that and Greetings from Ireland.👍
Not all artists use brushes. I have nearly zero idea what he was talking about, nor do I own a motorcycle, but that was one of the most impressive shops I have ever seen, and one of the most impressive craftsmen I have ever heard. Thanks Ava!
Met yall some years back, got the ten cent tour and was blown away with the museum ! hope yall are well and thanks again for showing me and my boys around!
Awesome video. !! Caught one thing, the first rule on a lathe is NOT to leave the chuck key in the chuck. Not busting balls, just an observation in the video. Awesome dude, would love to learn things from him.
Great Shop. More like a Factory. The detail to his shop & setup says it all in the workmanship he must put out. Always nice to see good people (father & daughter).
Without question the best I've seen... been riding since 77', well over 500k miles...seen a lot, built a lot... never at this level or craftsmanship... bravo!
Pretty cool Ava it’s always a joy to see you with your family, making time , life is moving so fast we sometimes forget about the most important things and should never leave us , FAMILY 🙏
What a collection of machinery and tools, very few will have such a perfect setup for working on a particular set of engines. This is the definition of a specialist environment! If Dragon Man agrees it would be pretty great to see some live stream content of him working in the shop, I feel that a lot of people would watch that content and you could set up a text to speech donation system to play viewers' questions on a speaker to make a bit of extra cash on each job without hindering him too much.
Can’t believe I see this video…. Dragon man rebuilt two 1950’s panheads for me back in the early 1990’s…. Glad to know you’re still going strong ! Like finding an old friend 35 years later
That's a hell of a shop, Dragonman! One of the things that strikes me most is how tidy, clean and organized everything is. A professional shop! A lot of shops I walk into look like nothing has been cleaned in 50 years.
