Turning Sheet Metal Into $$$ | Building My First Skid Steer Bucket

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Title: Turning Sheet Metal Into $$$ | Building My First Skid Steer Bucket
Description:
I started this fabrication business about a year ago in my leaking barn shop. What began with building my own CNC plasma cutter, cutting signs, and doing small fab/repair jobs has led to this moment: my very first product.
In this video, I’m taking the first real step toward building my own line of attachments — by fabricating a mini skid steer bucket from scratch. From cutting steel that wouldn’t fit my table, to test-fitting the mount, welding with a buddy, and even a PG-13 “bucket wash” skit before paint — this build had its share of struggles, laughs, and small victories.
The goal isn’t just to build a bucket… it’s to see if a barn shop can turn sheet metal into $$$ and actually compete with the big brands.
