When You Can't Find It, Build It | Custom Steering for Little Jewel

Join Ian Roussel in the workshop for a detailed, hands-on look at the assembly process as raw metal components come together to create a fully custom solution you can’t buy off the shelf.

This DIY fabrication project highlights the precision, problem-solving, and craftsmanship required when building from the ground up. Using a variety of shop tools and techniques, Ian tackles fitment challenges, alignment, and real-world fabrication decisions that turn ideas into functional hardware.

If you’re into custom fabrication, metalwork, project cars, or one-off builds, this video shows what it really takes to build something truly unique from scratch.

🔧 Built, not bought.
🛠️ Designed in the workshop.
🔥 Made to work.

Our original build that we started our YouTube channel with "Little Jewel" 💎. It is a 1956 International COE and Ian, as usual, is going FULL CUSTOM with this one. Now with more room to roll this monster project in the garage, he can get back to it!
