Full Custom Ian Roussel and Ken's Crazy Train🚂🤗 Ian Teaches Sheet Metal Work🤓👽🛸 

For us frugal fabricators you can flatten a old piece of copper pipe and use it just like Ian did with the brass.

Ian, your fabricating and wealth of thought and creativity are second to none!!!!! Your skills and your talents are SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!! Many, many thanks Bud for being YOU, keeping it real and helping others. What an inspiration you truly are Ian!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work! Respectfully, Sandy

Another great episode on metal craftsmanship

My late wife was a nurse. One if her favorite things was precepting new Nurses, So many if the nurses she worked with show up at her funeral with so many great memories. She loved nursing.

Ian and model RXR, what's not to love? Jamie is doing great! Thanks for taking us along.

Got to love the Beverley shear . Got me 2 of them bad boys.

Ian _ find you some of the magnets with handles to hold two pieces while you spot the filler. Frees up the hands for welding. Radio speaker magnets would work. All tips will be utilized.

That brass trick was sweet, never seen that before. Cool tip

i enjoy learning about welding. thank you.

Thank you for sharing. Very much enjoyed.🛸👽👍

He makes it interesting with all the techniques.

Loved the train episode and reuse of the old materials

Love the new animated ufo introduction. Awesome AF!

Nice new opening ! Now I see the desert 🌵 is getting Aliens lol👍👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

I remember the Railroad car build project, and yes, Ian needs a Train!!

I'm learning thanks for sharing keep up the great videos

Once again Jamie and Ian bring us viewing tips on sheet metal cutting and welding...💙 Thank you 👌👍

The things you do with metal is just awesome! I try to learn something everytime I watch you here or on Full Custom! 😉👍

that train is so sweet . love it

Model RR and dollhouses! Always a twist!

Trains, Planes and Automobiles we love watching you work your magic. Thank you!!!

Welding class 101 . Nice job Ian 👍

I'm a car guy, wife is a nurse ,and we LOVE Chicago!

Now that I've had my daily dose of Full Custom Roussel's, a calm has come over me...Even better,you've gone sideways into model train fabrication!!! Like I keep saying,this just keeps gettin' better...What's next??? I can't wait till tomorrow to find out...See you then!

My dad worked for the L&N railroad and before the days of safety, which are important,as a kid 60 years ago I lived on the Railroad. Cant wait to ride the Roussel Family Train.

As a friend of Ken's, I know this is going to be a beautiful model when all is said and done!

I use a copper bar because it also acts as a heat sink to pull the heat away from the weld.

The videography and sound of your productions has greatly improved. Please keep 'em coming. You two are a great team.

Ian roussel the man with many hats 🤠

Great content and tips Ian! THANKS!

I remember truck train episode particularly the cow catcher it was cool how you bent the threaded rod to make it.👍

Great job guys. Another great video 👍👍

Thanks for The welding tip with the brass I am an amateur welder at best and just learning I do all right with the thick stuff but the thin stuff I always burn a hole

The speeding up and lowering the sound involved with the mundane grinding segments is great!

Digging the new production work on the video.

Another fine fabrication video. Thanks! Carry on

NICE INTRO Jonnie, hello Ian love trains ,remember you doing the train truck. Awsome 👍

Ian, I so enjoyed watching you work on that little train! I couldn't stop smiling!

Me to Jamie, the brass helped disperse the weld to fill the hole. Now back to our regular programme the Little Jewel.

Talented man.If you can see it or imagine something you are able to make it.Amazing

Yeah the episode about N-C 107 was a good one. Big metal, big tools.

You will find that model railroading can be addictive!

Well done😊

My grandson sat with me to watch when you built the rail-truck. He loved it. Your videos are improving with each one and they’re fun to watch for us retirees.

Great creativity. Keep up the good work. Your experience shows!!!

Nice job with the jimmy diresta speedups coming along quick with the editing someone's getting into it

Some of the satisfaction of a good craftsman is explaining/teaching others the trade. They make the work look easy because they are really good at what they do.

What a fun project! Love those model trains. Thank you Ian for sharing the wire size and welding info on this project. Keep up the great work! You definitely need a train on the Rancho Roussel.

Well done. Your getting it. Great job

Scars are like tattoos, only the stories are way better. And, YES! A huge all around the ranch rail road track. Maybe a trunk line or two from the house to the shop. Check out some of the garden railroad vids here on youtube

Lovin The intro. Always a pleasure watching/listening to y'all. Makes me smile. Thank you.

That’s some precise cutting you did

We live close to that museum my son and I love going there

The train idea is my bucket list

Great video Jamie and Ian. Ian should build a space train🚀🛸for the ranch and when it goes around it plays Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" or "Party Train" by the Gap Band.

great to see you letting go and just having fun :)

It was a cool project, you of course handled it beautifully

Many older cars were built with the same "track" as the rail lines. My old '55 Nash Rambler American could run on the rails. You could deflate the tires to align with the tracks, though the beads would often unseat from the wheel rims. and tubes would suffer. Or, you could remove the tires completely and run on the metal. Have my doubts about heat and durability, but so I was told by an old timer Nash guy. I'm 80 now so I'm the 'old timer', and wish I had the Rambler to relocate a built 351 motor sitting in my garage. It could be a "Cobra-mbler". BTW, so happy for you two and the enjoyable path you are on. I'm addicted, just as I have been to the TV show.

You have a phenomenal gift for teaching, and such a mastery of infinite skill sets to pass along. I have long been comforted by the sounds of shop work, but add in Ian's creative thinking being explained as it happens, and it these videos are like mechanically minded, professional relaxation sessions. And you two are like that well used favorite pair of shop gloves - you are a perfect fit!

Diggin' that new intro.

Love the new intro. It's perfect.

You guys need to come out to the museum, you never got to drive the truck under it's own power.

We love the camaraderie between the two of you it is entertaining

I agree with everyone. Great job Jamie. Pretty darn good camera work.

That was good watching 👍

Nice to see how welding can play a part in a different way than what it's normally thought of. Who would have thought about a metal model train? So much of what is taken for granted all around us in everyday life is a real talent by professional people. Another great episode.

🥰🥰cool episode thanks for all the info as always guys 🤗🤗🤗

Love the new intro. It is good all the tips Ian is giving.

A Train around the ranch would be awesome

Thanks for the welding tips , never would have known about the Brass.

Jamie, you’re doing a great job. I learned something new today. Never knew that brass was a good backer to fill in a hole.

I can tell this is going to be good. Ian, you do more than think outside the box.

I bought a welder because of watching what you do on the tv show. I love this channel because you can actually take the time to teach and give amazing tips like the brass trick. That one is going into my play book.

Trains and ships was some huge engenearing feats back in ole timey days ....love steam powered stuff 👌👍

Proof that kids come in all sizes I really enjoy your shows

Really like the intro! That rail truck was really cool and a great episode, and this one doesn't disappoint either. It's really nice to see you tackling something unusual; it shows your ability to take on new and different things and still apply your same creativity to them (and shows how well the skills translate to more than just work on the auto projects). I told my uncle, who is a huge train obsessed aficionado, about their page...he will love seeing it. I think you need to build your own train for Casa Roussel. Just make sure there's enough room for the pups to ride. I'm sure you can find enough scrap metal there or at Bill's place to build the entire thing. Things like this also are great to see on here, because they widen the scope and audience that may stumble on the channel through searches or recommendations. Once they see it and Ian's work (plus Jamie's production and videowork), they will hopefully stick around to check out even more. For me, it's great to see because it exposes me to more things besides cars and more varied fabrication with some more artwork thrown in too. It keeps. The interest level high and keeps me coming back even more because I never know what may be coming next. Keep at it, you two! -Jeff

Once again, completely amazed at the crisp precise cuts. I know all too well how one of those can get away from ya. But what caught my eye the most other than the wicked project going on in the background was the pinstriped fire extinguisher. You can always tell a hotrod garage by the artwork around it. Great episode you two 👏 👍

👍🏼👍🏼 Give Jamie the torch, she's ready!

You Sir, are a Master!! Enjoy watching you do what you do. Amazing talent and a hell of a teacher. As a novis, I thank you!

Well done, Ian.

So cool! Looking forward to the process to completion.

You need to make a trip to Train Mountain at Chiloquin Oregon. It has a huge layout for that size railroad.

Love the opening , it captures Ians inner self, whatever that means! You guys are doing great !

Scars are the tattoos you earn from what you went through 👍💪

Ian, to set your cutting torch,....you want about 21lbs on your oxygen tank, and about 7lbs on your acetylene tank. then too set your torch for cutting, you start with no oxygen, you turn on your acetylene , light the torch and turn up the gas until the black smoke stops, then you hold the handle all the way down and start turning up your oxygen until the little light blue flame in the middle is down as short as you can get it without snuffing the torch out. Ive learned so much from you ,...my wife quite often watches with me.

Great video Ian keep up the good work, watching from KENTUCKY!!!!

Great video, I remember it well!

Hello Ian & Jamie, how are you two doing today? Ian you pulled a little switcheroo on us today with the crazy train video but, it was very interesting and I enjoyed watching it. Also, I can picture you building a train for your ranch, that would be alot of fun for you & Jamie riding around your property. Jamie you are getting better and better everyday with your camera skills, keep up the good work!

Good teacher

a master class. wonderful content put all together you could sell as a series. great stuff. sheet metal is a true mystery.

Love the brass trick to fill the blowhole. I was a welder at a Honda auto plant, I carried a brass hammer in a loop in my belt for just such occasions.

I am so glad you share your knowledge.

2 new cool things I learned from your video. The brass plate for filling spots and the clamps near the welds. Thanks Teacher Ian

So crazy how many many years ago they converted a truck to stay on the rails now they have what we call rail trucks. Semi trucks and reg chevy trucks mostly around Tennessee. And the rails are on front and rear and utilizes the wheels and tires and can come off the track and go on the road. Crazy.

Way cool Ian! There are no train problems. lol. The Rio Grande railroad actually built a train like the one that you had built.

Someone should gift Ian a Dremel took for intricate sheat metal crafting/cutting/engraving

Love the new opening

Is that a new intro sequence? Nice!

Crazy project glad you get a chance to do a bunch of different stuff, Great job love watching your videos. Keep it up !

Loved the break from Little J., I collect American Flyer, S Gauge, and have had a fascination for Garden scale and rideables. Great metal working tips. I'm wrenching on an Airforce 5-ton that needs alot of what you're covering to pass Massachusetts State Inspection.
