Very cool promo for a show that probably won't make it. Jesse James funded this, a show that isn't "reality TV" but rather educational and interesting to those that work with their hands. This video shows the making of Damascus steel and of course some JJFU firearms

It's not Monster Garage, it's closer to This Old House with guns :mrgreen:

I would invite anyone that enjoys it to petition discovery channel, this would be an awesome series

I watched it from start to finish. I really hope it makes it to a channel near any of us soon.

Thanks for sharing , I don't think I would have found it otherwise . I love the direction he's going with the show and I hope it gets picked up . They must be looking for a similar type show after the demise of Will Hayden .

I hope they find a place for this show. There are a lot of us out there that don't like the direction that reality TV has gone. We need more shows for people that are not into the drama of it all

Being a tradesman myself I love shows like this. Say what you will about Jesse James but he is a craftsman, some of his bike builds are epic, frame building from scratch, copper tank etc . better than watching some knuckle head bend spidey round bar around a tank and yelling at his Dad. I will have to PVR this new one!

that was an excellent piece of film, at least until the very end where it turned into a commercial for his gun business, but cool nontheless. It would be excellent if someone, not necessarily JJ takes the show and goes around the country to showcase various craftsmen and business. This piece while really cool regarding the damascus steel, only lightly touched on the woodworking side.
