  Blue Collar Chopper frame   Welcome to jerrysdiycorner.com where Do-it-Yourself is what we are all about. If you're interested in serious do-it-yourself metal fabrication work, then check our website often as we update our projects. Currently we are working on a hot rod '36 Chevy Pickup, and what we call the Blue Collar Chopper. We will discuss metal fabrication techniques and shop built metal fabrication tools.  
         
  Cutting Guide Plan   In our Free Stuff Section you'll find downloadable plans of some simple tools that will greatly enhance your cutting torch work. This is vitally important when doing accurate and aesthetically pleasing work whether you're making parts for your hot rod, building your own tools, or whatever your interest might be in the fabrication area.  
         
 
  Be sure to checkout our video Down to Earth Metal Fabrication for the Do-it-yourselfer. This fabrication video covers, in depth, the proper use of the cutting torch. The video also shows how to use common structural steel to jig parts for welding, accurate layout work with simple tools, electric hand drill, and an angle grinder; the kind of tools most do-it-yourselfers fabricators have.
