Hi Kyle, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Building Everything I Dreamed of as a Kid: My Journey with The Fab Forums
If you had told me years ago that I’d be running a YouTube community centered around fabrication, custom vehicles, welding, creativity, and entrepreneurship, I probably would have laughed and gone back to working on whatever project was sitting in my garage. Yet today, that’s exactly what The Fab Forums has become.
The Fab Forums wasn’t built from a business plan. It was built from a passion.
Like a lot of people in the fabrication world, I grew up fascinated by how things were made. I was the kid who couldn’t leave anything alone. If something broke, I wanted to know how it worked. If I saw a custom truck, race car, hot rod, or off-road rig, I wanted to know how it was built. The sparks, the noise, the creativity, and the freedom to build something from nothing always pulled me in.
Over time, fabrication became more than a hobby. It became a way of life.
As I spent more time in the industry, I noticed something that bothered me. There were incredible builders everywhere, but there wasn’t always a place where they could come together to share ideas, learn from one another, and celebrate the craft. Social media often focused on the finished product, but not the process. The mistakes, the lessons, the late nights, and the problem-solving were getting lost.
That’s where The Fab Forums was born.
The mission was simple: create a place where builders could connect.
Whether you’re a professional fabricator, a weekend welder, a race car builder, or someone just learning how to strike an arc, there should be a place for you. A place where knowledge is shared instead of guarded. A place where creativity is encouraged. A place where people can learn, grow, and inspire one another.
The Fab Forums became more than just content. It became a community.
Along the way, we’ve showcased incredible builds, met talented craftsmen, hosted events, and built relationships with people who share the same obsession for making things. We’ve laughed at mistakes, celebrated successes, and learned lessons that only come from actually doing the work.
One of the things I’m most proud of is that we’ve stayed true to our roots. The fabrication world isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence. It’s about taking an idea that exists only in your mind and turning it into something real with your own two hands.
That’s what drives me every day.
The Fab Forums has also become a platform for other projects and ideas. From launching KillFab Clothing to creating events like Whiskey and Welding, every step has been about bringing together people who appreciate craftsmanship, hard work, and creativity. These ventures all stem from the same belief: builders deserve a community that celebrates what they do.
The road hasn’t always been easy. Building a brand, creating content, managing projects, and growing a community all take time and effort. There have been setbacks, failures, and plenty of moments where quitting would have been easier.
But every challenge reinforced the reason I started.
The people.
The messages from someone who learned a new skill because of a video. The builder who found inspiration to start a project. The friendships formed through a shared love of fabrication. Those moments remind me that The Fab Forums is bigger than any one build or event.
Today, The Fab Forums continues to evolve, but the mission remains the same.
We’re here to inspire builders.
We’re here to celebrate fabrication.
We’re here to keep learning.
Most importantly, we’re here to keep building all the things we dreamed of as kids.
And in many ways, that’s exactly what this journey has been about from the very beginning.
Not just building projects.
Building a life around the things we love.
The sparks are still flying, the ideas keep coming.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has been a pretty smooth road. There have been times were I had to deal with some burn out. Just taking some time off always helps.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about The Fab Forums?
The Fab Forums is mainly a automotive fabrication based YouTube / Facebook channel. With over 1000 videos and 500,000 + followers. www.youtube.com/@thefabforums
We also have an associated clothing brand www.killfab.com
And an actual build forum located at www.thefabforums.com
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
My only advise is if you want to build something, youtube channel, business, or car project. You need to just put your head down and focus on completing the small steps. Too many people get overwhelmed by the totality of what’s ahead and give up too soon. Just focus on the little things and before you know it the end will be in site.
