How to make GREAT Bomber Seats - Part 1 

Love this channel! From midwest USA.

You use the same welding mask as I do. We're becoming a dying breed us oldies. :-)

Div, again you have taken complicated and made it simple. Having built a few bomber seats myself, I wished I had been able to view your video beforehand., I would haved saved myself a bucket load of time, let alone one hell of alot of frustration. My hat is off to you brother.

Boet!!! Im excited for this one!!!!

👍👌👏 Extremely ingenious again and as always. Congrats. Best regards luck and health.

Dov, I am watching this in incorrect order. I watched (Several times for some, too cool) but, seeing the finished bomber seats installed while you are adding tail lights or what not, but I thought these were salvage from airplanes or jets! I am watch #2 to see how these take the shape I am used to seeing already. I love the simple jig welded, indexed with stops for bending. I would guess you bought the sheet metal 1mm (19 gauge) but I am jealous if you have a local scrape yard to pick from. Metal has gone sky high as everyone from the steel mills, distributor, over the road transportation, fuel cost (Today, Diesel is $5.00 US per gallon) to the seller. It cost $0.13 cents per sq ft to make, but sells for $2.53 to get it. Sad how many fingers have found into your wallet. Hope you are well, ate good food and had a great time making today's memories and have a cold one for me! DK, Omaha. We take or memories with us!

Using a swivel under the regular Bomber Seats allows it to turn toward the door . I like your version better , great Job.

Really enjoying the focus on explaining how you setup your jigs. Seat is looking lekka! I am guessing the round bar trim added some needed stability to the seat and looks better than rubber.

I was wondering how you made those seats, they look great in the finished truck. Thanks Div.

These seats are becoming quite popular in rat rods . Halfass Kustoms did some similar seats recently! For a '37 Ford. If you haven't already, check out his channel.(part 36)

Very cool man enjoying the build. Never made one, going to give it a try and build one for the shed.

From Scotland. Nice to know that we are not the only one's to get non stop rain. I very much enjoyed the video. Ps don't you love flap disc's?

You might be able to find some metal working machines, on the internet! Metal benders and English wheel, maybe I am wrong! A little roller machine.

I cant say enough about how you work through the process of creating jigs and such first which makes it much easier when creating your final piece. Learning some tricks Boet!!!!

Those jigs for cutting holes are great!

Cool project. I like how you teach.

Another great video , can't wait for the next one.

Awesome video as always !!!! I love the way you explain what you are doing and how much you care about making everything precise !!!! Amazing once again hope you have an awesome day 😊

I've been a bender (tube, pipe, solid bar, round, square rectangle, common and domestic materials etc. whatever....) 11+ years for a living. Previously a machinist for 13+ years. I like the way you think. 👍 Looking good! .

Great job on the ass holders! Lol! I was surprised you didn’t run it through the bead roller first. I’m sure you got some specific look your going for. You really make this look easy enough for Mr. Average to accomplish. Thanks for another great video.

Excellent jig making there Oupa u somme makes it look easy...i reckon the round bar as a finishing is the way to go...nice to see the grandkids featuring ...future hot rod kids 👍👍👍👍

From one old man to another I like the way you work

its like you're the older South African puddins fab shop (a youtube channel) haha i really enjoy the videos

n boer maak n plan.... Really interesting to see how what's in your head materialises to something tangeable... Can you list your videos in part 1 2 3....im trying to follow each one, but don't know if I'm getting correct sequence.. Im subscribed....GREAT WORK..... till the next video... Have a LEKKER one

Good afternoon Div. Like your work. Have you got dimentions for Bomberseats. Thanks Hein Smith

Lekka grey beard, love your process. Thanks for sharing, it's inspirational.

Hi from Murrysville Pennsylvania US, my new Friend. Thanks for your Videos, very intertaining. Jim

I know I'm late on this, only recently found your channel...WOW!!!! Absolutely beautiful work bro. I'm working my way through your earlier vids, love the channel, keep up the amazing work 👍🇺🇸⚜️🔥🔥🔥🔥

They make great break time seats I built one last year from 1 piece of steel as a seat for in my garage works a treat. Love your videos. It’s a big hello from the UK 🇬🇧

Fantastic work on the seats 👍

Always enjoyable diff. Love the jigs you come up with. You seem to be the only person that can set up the welder nicely Thanks diff

Like I said before , love the way you show what you are doing . Explained very well ... and Build On

That looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing them with the dimples. Sure that will stiffen it up further.

I've watched so many of your video's (in no particular order) that I've got a slight South African accent now..

Thats pretty cool. I had no idea that a seat could be so simple to make. You could even make it so that the back angle is adjustable with just a little bit of hardware and modification

I have always had good luck with a fine, metal cutting blade in my jig saw for cutting sheet metal curves .

This was a really great video. I'm glad I ran into you!!!!

I just found your page really love the work you’re doing spent Saturday watching your videos. I was wanting to find out how I can get you to email me the template for the bomber seats. I couldn’t find your email address. Thanks

You are so professional and prove you can do great things and not spend much money so satisfying to watch you

Diff I love your channel. I live in the untied state near the white house... did you make the scribe you are using

Nice job as always Div . Some detail wil finish it off. Thanks for all the good tips.

Diff you are a creative genius. Love the design and the round bar edge! Jeff

Your a lot smarter than you look😂 although it could be just experience 😂

Enjoying your videos. Cheers from Manitoba Canada

Thanks…I’m going to build one…Uncle Bob in USA.

I see you avoided being murdered by your bride when you failed to ask her in to measure her for the seat bottom. Clever boy. As always Div, I am really enjoying your videos.

Great job on the seats!! Very doable for average guy and i never thought that was even possible. Thank so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏 😊

This was a very ambissous project that you made "look" quite easy. I always enjoy seeing how you make your jigs. Very interested to see how you do the dimple dies for the speed holes! good work !

Nice seat buddy , i want to make something like this for my next ratrod

Thanks! Interesting to me. I believe I would use 3/8” round stock for the edges. Might have to use the smoke wrench to heat up the bends but I think your seat would be a bunch stiffer. Just my thoughts.

I would like to have your plans for the bomber seats after you build

It may not be a traditional bommer seat, but it makes a great race seat, 🤣 now you just need a race engine 🤣 is looking great mate, all the best to you and your loved ones

Hey Diff, do you mind if I sent you some pics of my son's 27 ford on a Nissan hardbody chassis?

Yes I would think the round round rod stiffens it up makes better finished product beads and speed holes will help too always great to see your work!

Great work. Always look forward to your Progress on truck.

looking lekka man, even better with dimples, well done div !

Yep, it's still a bomber seat, just a nicer version, great layout for a one piece design, I dig it 👌

Great seats man

Thank you ! I asked for this from i saw the first one in one of the trucks. 👍

Looks great. Round rod looks alot better than the black trim. Can't wait to see them done.

Diff you're one unique fabricator! I always look for your next video to admire your creativity and craftsmanship. Keep up the great work!

Looks lekka Div, loving the explanation

Chocks away.

Love the seat ! Them grandbabies are adorable !

Wow...Those seats came out awesome boet. Again you made it look easy. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your version of the dimple dies.

Naand se Diff,PipeDreams to reality ne! .Baie smaart idee lyk fantasties

I really like the way you're doing your seats

Great work with even better description on the process. Who needs all the special tools when one is as enjanuitive

👍👍🤜🤛🤟

Great video as always! You make it look easy! 😎

Option 3: Wire beading the edge.

What engine do you plan using?

Div absolutely excellent

Would love to have a drawing of your layout if you wouldn’t mind sending me what you have?

You are the best ⚡️

Those jigs for cutting circles are very clever idea.

“Grunting is allowed”. 😂😊👍
