Not many people take the time to turn a "simple" stand into a work functional and aesthetically pleasing product. Thanks again P.B.

the Aermacchi has now the stand she deserves. Nice fit ! By the way, thank you for Henry Ford's screws story. It's always a pleasure to learn these bits of history.

Skookem lol Ave has changed the world

Completely overbuilt ........ absolutely the way things should be built 👍🤪👍

Overkill is an understatement! You really like making chips and welds 😂 but as long as the results fits your need nobody will criticize!

Watching Paul assembling the wheels I didn't think the long M8 would be countersunk into the top plate ... and then, satisfaction. Very nice!

Talk about perfection at it’s finest 😎

Thanks to you I’ve added a new word to my vocabulary. “Skookum” will be known throughout this small town in Georgia in no time.

The coolest surf board for a motorcycle

At first I was thinking overly complicated, but very nice details you have on the stand.

finaly! been waiting 😊👍

aah, another Paul Brodie... just what i wanted this Saturday. :)

HELLO PAUL, Sacré bonhomme !!!soudant,brasant,fraisant,tournant,alésant etc etc... La pleine possession d’un nombre remarquable de techniques ouvre toujours sur le meilleur choix pour traiter une fabrication ou une réparation. Créativité et recherche d’élégance dans le style closent cette louange ,qui pourrait bien être interminable! Warm workshop, classics or racing oldies around and a cup of coffee is the best place to be. Thank u,Paul,Keep on doing!

Lunatic. Brilliant

I read somewhere that Phillips screws where designed to cam out under load so that assembly line workers couldn't over torque fasteners. Given the number of Phillips I've destroyed over the years I believe it.

When you're having fun, so do we Paul, so do we!

Form follows intention! Well done.

Love your workshop setup. it looks so functional. 🫡

that is...just great pure art

As they say on Project Binky...Overkill is my Second Favourite kind of Kill...👍😂👍

You have 1.000.000 Support from me ,and I'm learning so much from you , God bless u mr Paul #legendPB

Nothing like here one frame building idol reference another one :)

That is so well engineered you could bolt an engine to it and race it, amazing well done.

Just found your video's, man after my own heart, don't buy junk when you can build something beautiful. Subscribed.👍

Flippin' sweet

Excellent work - now I can finish mine.......

Binge watching all your videos . Thanks from a fellow Canadian from Toronto. Coffees sent! Appreciate all your videos

WOW.....a master at work stunning bike table.....my dad was a Tool Maker in Ford Uk in Liverpool England.love the story about the Screws and Henry Ford. Nick in the UK.

Wow!

Some 40 years ago I built my father a tilting motorcycle ramp/stand from plans that Harley-Davidson included in their WW2 service manuals for their military 45 cu.in. motorcycles. I again made another for my son some 12 years ago. Both are still in use. Made from plywood and 2x8's. Unfortunately their heavy and have no wheels. I'll consider Paul's design now.

👍👍😎👍👍 ……… not bad for an old guy 😉

Square drive screws whenever possible….. I had no idea how old the idea was. Great videos mate, thanks for sharing. 🏍🇦🇺👍🏻

Hi Paul, Got your name from Ron Covels channel. Great project, simple but with a bit of style. Looking forward to your collaboration.

Well done. 😎

Like the stand, now replace the wheel clamp with your own clamp so it is at the same level of craftsmanship as the rest of the stand.

I love old school machinist. They actually use a center drill when drilling holes.

I'd like to learn more about your excelsior project that make for a good video.

Great work Paul 👍👌

Very interesting project! As a proud Canadian you might be interested to know that Robertson screws are practically the only type of wood screws that you can buy in far-away New Zealand. The other (less popular) kind available in New Zealand is Pozidriv -- Phillips wood screws are only obtainable via specialist suppliers. So a win for Canada over the USA Phillips (and the British Pozidriv) in terms of screwing New Zealanders...

I got one of those princess auto lifts, extended it by welding the ramp onto the end to fit choppers - now its bespoke 💁‍♂

Great to see your back .. a wee break does no harm at all .

One word. Craftsmanship. Something I feel is slowly dyeing from this world. Cheers Paul. Rock on.. and thank you for sharing your journeys.

After I heard Paul say "SKOOKUM" several times I kinda "got" what it meant, but then got to wondering if that was an actual word or some kind of slang local to his neighborhood, so I looked it up and here is what I found: "Skookum is a Chinook Jargon word that has historical use in the Pacific Northwest. It has a range of meanings, commonly associated with an English translation of "strong" or "monstrous". The word can mean "strong", "greatest", "powerful", "ultimate", or "brave". Wikipedia". I've been in every state in the Union, lived in a bunch of them, been all over the world, but I can't remember ever encountering that word-----I guess you learn something every day if you pay attention, huh? Oh, yeah....and pretty usable work stands, too!

You are a legend too Paul! Really enjoying your videos.

So much overkill in the way those castors are fitted but finished job so good and no doubt satisfying to complete. 🤪

Very skookum ironing board sir! May I suggest, since there are no longitudinals to the frame, that you replace the robertson screws with carriage bolts thru the full thickness of the plywood top. Eventually you may find that the rocking motion of the legs starts to strip the woodsrew threads. A V-brace from the outer leg corners to an inboard point on the longitudinal centerline would also go a long way toward triangulating each end.

Fantastic work as Always.

Lovely job and it shown me that motorcycle work benches can be fantastic looking as well as practical. Coffee on its way. ☕️

As always, a pleasure, and thank you. The stand came out beautifully. In the comments on a previous video, we were discussing stuff that is hard to translate. Skookum probably fits that category. I always thought it just meant "good" - in your use, it sounds like it might mean "stout." RE: tapping head collets -- they are Jacobs J-Flex collets. I like that long torque arm, I'll have to make one for my tapping head. It's awesome to watch someone who can make a project even more complicated and more hefty-duty than I normally do. :) BTW, I've decided to build another bike! Not sure I have the patience or skills to record the project, but I'll certainly take still photos. It will be an EGLI style chassis with a 4-cylinder motor, and a modern front end. I'll be hand-making an aluminum tank, and possibly other bodywork.

Yep ..sometimes a line must be drawn when things are "wrong".

Superb project 👍executed 👌

nice work Paul :)

Welcome back from your small break, good to have you two back.

Thank you for sharing. Right to the point, great motorcycle work/stand.

You two make great videos, you have a real knack for this stuff Mr Brodie!

You could use a trailer or implement tongue jack to fab your own tire vise me thinks.

Very fun project, Paul-very nicely done ✅👍Thanks!

I cannot believe I've never thought to build stands like this for my bikes. This is genius. I love your channel sir, thanks for sharing

Wow, guess when you've got the know how, you use it, very nice. Side benefit, if you ever need to work on your car, I'm fairly certain this wouldn't have any issue holding it up 😀

Excellent as always Paul. :)

Nice work. I particularly like the wheel holding system simple and elegant 👌

Beautiful work! I'm meandering my way through this Tiger Cub playlist and just loving it! Big ups to whomever does the editing. It really shines in this episode!

+Sensacional....Parabens amigo

Hey Paul down south we have things called pucks that are1/4" to 1/2" thick that we slide under the kick stand 3to4" in diameter to prevent indention into tar or the road 😅

Sweet 😎✌

❤ great videos

Labor is free. That's what I tell my kids but I can be bribed best with coffee! Same as you Paul.

Practical Panache👏🏼

I have to watch the video first but I just want to comment how awesome it is! I've just thought about building a stand myself so once again, this really comes handy. "If I put a handmade motorcycle on top of a Chinese made stand, that's just wrong" Couldn't agree more. Better buy you a ☕ or two.

Very nice! Thumbs up!

Hello Mr. Paul Brodie. I'm really impressed by your creativity, skills and knowledge. Your chanel is very interesting with lots of helpful information. Congratulations and thank you for sharing it with us.

Great job, we really enjoyed watching you work almost as much as you enjoyed building the rig. Of course those who do not have the industrial machine tools in their garage and relevant skills may as well go and order the Chinese stand bad as this may be.

Really love this, thank you. I'm going to build one, similar to this, for my dad's garage. It'll leave our lift free and allow us to build up a project on it. Keeping it really mobile is a great idea. Cheers

Great work Paul, the satisfaction and time spent crafting custom pieces in the shop is not easily explained to the many who would just order something for the cheapest price.. but that would be like the Bee trying to convince the fly that nectar tastes better than dung..

Looks great Paul plus you looked like you really enjoyed building it

Best part of my day thats for sure. Another perfectly timed video (for me anyways) as Im in the middle of drawing up a welding cart. Most of your ideas have overruled mine! I watched Allen Millyards latest, his "aluminium" fuel tank and bodywork were as amazing as yours. The education provided by you, Allen, and of course Ron Covell has been amazing.

If only the world had accepted Robertson screws as the standard instead of slots and Phillip's heads. I have often thought though that a triangular recess might have been even harder to damage or rotate out of.

Man, I was going through withdrawals waiting for a video. You are a true artist!

for tapping blind holes you should use a spiral flute tap , a spiral point tap is designed to push the swarf in front of the tap in a through hole ,

Right from the get go , his pride and joy going on an over priced Chinese stand . I'm in brother. Thumbs up .

Beautiful work there mate! I really do think it was worth all 3 Days! Thanks for the post

That looks great, nice design.

Love your fabrication style. Build it to excess and you will never have to go back to beef it up later. I always say steel is cheap if you think you need to add more you probably do.

that`s what i call a bench 😇👍👍👍

This is great content!

You have some kool toys.

I just stumbled in on your channel, I must say Im quite intrigued. I find you're craftsmanship is pure ! Thank you sir for the history on the Robinson Square Screw , I prefer them myself ! Just didn't know how they came about! Goodday

A pleasure to watch your videos Paul, You do superb work and your shop is a credit to you. Mitch is pretty damned good too on that camera. I have a lot of bikes but am building up a BSA Bantam trials bike in between working 40 hours a week. Bryce in New Zealand

That tap head you used on the mill is awesome. 👍 That rope around the back of the mill is not very elegant, just have two poles for the bar to ride against, one for forward and one for reverse. Enjoyed your video.

I think Robertson was drunk when he was trying to make a Phillips screw and his hand slipped, so it was drunk luck. That's why they called him two fingers Robinson.

WOW!

I found your channel just recently through your beltgrinder build. Your videos are very enjoyable to watch because of your calm and methodical way of explaining what you do and your obvious genuine joy of making things. Thanks for that! One side note: Your tapping head seems to have some parts missing. In the square opening above the collet holder where you put a bar through for tightening, should sit a small clamp much like a self-centering vise, which clamps the flats on the end of the tap. This clamp normally transfers all the torque and the rubberflex collet just needs to be tightened enough to center the tap and keep it from pulling out. There should also be a dog-point set screw in the hole through the wrench flats, which keeps the clamp itself from falling out whenever there is no tap mounted. Have a look at the Tapmatic tapping heads which are built much the same, at least on the bottom end.

Hi Paul, that's a nice looking stand, thanks for the tutorial, I've been thinking I need a work stand for the GS1000, I'll send you some pics of my attempt. Cheers Wayne

I think the satin black looks better than a high gloss. Those wheel vices are dangerous, easy to bend a brake rotor if the wheel stop gets bent and bike rolls too far forwards (was a problem with students not paying attention, 'floating' disc's would 'pop' the buttons)

Inspiring....moving (from Stockholm) to much larger premises outside Porto where I plan to have a bench 4 each bike , have my 4 Honda V4 s endurance bikes the first one we built in -86, which I have found in various sheds around the country and now restoring ....plus a Vinnie and a Velo. Hitherto my life has been as , don't know if u had those in Canada , a "15 game" , where one has a small plastic doo-dah with 16 spaces abut 15 wee squares , one had to put in various orders , but moving all around sort of a two dimensional Rubics cube , will b such a relief to get a spacious place also for the lathe , a Moriseiki 850 and my milling machines , one from -47 the other from -63 , also having been forced to work in three places, in the end one has three of most stuff , confusing ....now that I am in a wheelchair again (awaiting surgery, also again.... was hit by a car doing a u-turn -02, but was lucky to b on my rather lightweight Super Moto KLX...as it landed on my lower back...) hopefully not forever , one never knows , it'll b such a releif!! Also collecting parts 4 Gary Nixon H2 replica ( the one with the Erv Kanemoto designed frame....) sort of like engines which aren't on holiday every other turn of the crankshaft . (have a profoundly tricked out Gamma)

That's crazy, I was just planning on building a stand for a project bike based on the stands at your shop. Awesome job as always guys.

Amazing work. I'd buy one or more.

Nice Tig Welds!

By the way , the tank turned out beautiful 😍

I love learning about these ways to save some money! I am going to my local fabricator right away to tell him to make me one and that you said it only costs 461$
