This week on Oil & Whiskey, we’re joined by Levi Green of HammerFab, fresh off a major SEMA debut and a whirlwind year for his shop.
Levi walks through his path into fabrication, early experiences learning the craft, and what it’s like building a reputation in an industry where quality and trust matter more than hype. From working through challenging projects to knowing when to say yes or no to a build, this conversation gets into the realities of shop life, craftsmanship, and growth.
We talk about:
Levi’s early days learning fabrication and metal shaping
Building HammerFab and earning trust in the industry
The pressure and payoff of showing a car at SEMA
Picking the right projects and spotting red flags early
Fixing work from other shops and setting standards
Why solid foundations and proven components matter
A real, honest conversation with a builder who’s focused on doing things the right way even when it’s the hard way.
