Love your joyful approach to fabrication

Awesome stuff mr, love watching you in my garage with my 1975 bonnie and the more modern Daytona with a large glass of red mmmm

Sir Paul Brodie, your my Idol.

That mount is perfect

Your students as always here . Thanks For Sharing And i hope you have 100k 1M You deserve it

Your such an inspiration Mr Brodie, Im going to the garage right now to do something,,,,anything!!!!

look forward to your videos...i always learn something...helps me keep working on my stuff.

I always smile when you "Add lightness" A great video again.

I like the speedo setup. I thought it blended well and didn’t look out of place. Thanks for sharing.

Once again another great looking Cub about to be resurrected!

What a tease ,,,, Heres a video of the Mighty Mitch ,,, and lo and behold he has The Stigs helmet on ,, your such a bad man ,,, build up my hopes and then dash them again in a heartbeat.

I have to say Paul you packed a lot of content into this weeks episode. Really enjoyed that.

Perfectly done as always, thank you

Thanks, as always. RE: can't sleep, can't turn off the brain. Ha. Sounds much too familiar. Lovely work on the speedo mount. Usually when I have to make multiple identical parts I weld the corners of the parent stock, then rough profile them on the bandsaw leaving one corner attached. Then I can belt sand the parts together, then cut the last corner off and finish each part individually.

Nice free hand dome on the lathe. I've been working on lathes/milling machines etc since 1978 nice vid.

As always, I love your work. The fuel tank looks extremely similar to one I have in the garage, sitting on an Isomoto. I just had a good look, and it is. An exact match!

Nice work again guys :) Appreciate the extra time you took to add the weight to check the side stand. It's all coming together very nicely!

Excellent way to design an exhaust system Paul... never saw that idea before. Thanks guys, cheers, Doug

Another great video Paul , really like your thought and design process top quality work.

Besides all that I learn from the mechanical aspects, I really enjoy the process you use for achieving what you want. The templates and drawings, etc.

I thoroughly enjoy building exhausts for my bikes. There's something therapeutic about it to me. Everything looks great as always Paul!

Nicely done, Paul, very enjoyable and productive session in the shop-Thank you ✅👍

YOUR brazing shines.... mine always looked sloppy. :-) Still, it's great to watch a gifted frame builder/fabricator at work.

Loving this build, watching it out of order makes it even more interesting to me. I wonder how he did that? Go look at an earlier episode. Thanks Paul.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your excellent skills while having a beer & eating salty snacks. I've just finished machining some mysterious alloy on which I broke more drill bits in two hours than I have in the previous two decades. A very frustrating day. But feeling quite calm again now after seeing a job go smoothly (though I wish mine had too). Thank you for the soothing entertainment!

As usual, another excellent video, thank you. I pick up at least two or three new techniques every episode. The “CAD” design section on the exhaust just spooled me up in regards to my little Yamaha 100cc twin! I was working on my GPz550 the other day, the rear wheel, brakes(caliper and rear master cylinder rebuild, EBC pads, stainless brake line, plus all the bric a brac that goes along with this stuff), and it occurred to me that I havent seen you pass this particular TTP on to your viewers. When it comes to using the stock hardware on a restoration or just a mild one, the wire wheel has always been the go to. About 6-7 years ago I tried a vibratory tumbler with some corncob and walnut shell media, that had some dry polishing compound mixed in too. I wish I could show some before and after pictures, totally mindblowing. I will toss pretty much anything metal in there now, spokes, spoke nipples, springs, nuts, bolts, spacers, etc etc etc. The results of a day or two of tumbling are just incredible. Theres a guy on Ebay that sells the media, the stuff is absolute magic. You may already be doing this, but if not, I highly recommend it. It takes a bit longer but the results are so much better than a wire wheel.

I’m, sadly, on the wrong planet! Thanks, Paul!

PLEASE sell something that says "that's a good fit". Hopefully a black hoodie that has your small logo on the front and center, and a big one on the back that has the Brodie logo with "that's a good fit around the outside! It would be almost as good as "it's milling time".....

You put it across well ,I’m enjoying your videos. Well done Paul.Better than the crap on tv.

I really admire your attention to detail. Way different then the way I approach a project! I can’t help but notice that the engines are not built yet. I have always been able to build the engine first then detail. Which I am not to good at!

As always, enjoying your videos. I use oxalic acid to clean chrome, put it in a tub for 1 day, and most of the job is done. Then polish it up. Grts from a belgian bicycle shop

I really liked your exhaust plotting! And the tipped up silencer idea. What about an oval silencer to tuck it in a bit? Just squeezing the tubing to give it an even more modern look... loved all of it. Brilliant speedo holder. Les in UK

Your skills are amazing sir.

loved that Paul and Mitch, thank you. The clock fitment looks very 'arty' and bespoke, I wish the British motorcycle manufacturing industry of the 60s had made use of imaginative, skilled people like you, it might not have gone pear shaped so quickly.

omg that freee hand round!

wery good style at the speedo mount.. ,,,and now we all knov how mitch looks =)

Really enjoying your channel Paul.

Autosol is my go to polish compound

just casually making the dome ends freehand

Another informative video. Under estimate time because your specialty is perfectionist, Just found your start up video of the Excelsior, wow 👌👌, are you still building them ? , a series on the Excelsior built would be very popular Cheers Chris

"I like that" is my favourite saying of yours!😁👍 I've been watching some of your videos and I see you like to save time by making jigs, fixtures and tools. Have you thought of making a quick change tool changer for your mill? They are very handy and time saving.

Great episode. Loving the quality of everything. Sleep loss: Makes me wonder whether any of the objects in our daily lives didn't cause their creators at least a little loss of sleep. Maybe a very small percentage. Food for thought.

Thanks for sharing, grab a little tidbit of knowledge again (steel wool on the chrome). Love the C.A.D. 😀 Very nice design for the holder for the speedometer, personally I'd take a bit off the spacers and drop it down as much as it can go without interfering with the headlight and cables, get it out of the way not sticking up so much. Lots of respect for you Paul, such a great fabricator, great problem solving, but seems that somehow you got into pluralizing things that shouldn't be ;-)

Paul. While the sag of the shocks does seem to be pretty low to the point where you won't have to worry about it, your test really hung most the weight over the side stand. :D Good idea of tightening up the pivot. You do good work. I really like the speedo bracket you made. You are fantastic with silver solder. I look forward to your exhaust build.

Great stuff Paul and Mitch. I expect a side stand with zero wiggle would not be free for very long with all the road salt and crap here in the uk. All the best Andy.

Seems the muffler will be perfect as well on the next week!

Jeeze, never knew I could be semi-jealous

I always polish chrome with aluminium foil (and a bit of water). :) Autosol is good stuff though.

Hi from Greece..... great...art job

Iv found Iv got an industry standard side stand angle testing body weight. I’m 96kg and generally I just slightly topple a bike if I sit on it with the side stand down. If I offset my butt by about 2” to the side with the stand the bike sits dead plumb. There’s your standard to work to. Just need to eat cake until you hit the target weight.

Aloha and mahalo Paul. I hope all goes well. I'm currently going through home care from a motorcycle accident. I'm currently in the process of learning to walk. That how I started to watch your video. I had a lot of bed time. I'm looking forward to see more of your video.

Hey Paul, I absolutely love your videos! Could you find a turn the sound down a touch when you run equipment? I keep my volume up to listen to what your saying, but your belt sander wreaks havoc on my speakers. Thanks!

Finding the radius without the center, 1/2 the cord Squared + height Squared / by height = Diameter.

Paul, i am restoring two Cubs for my kids, and these videos are great! Can i order two sets of your heavyweight fork handlebar clamps?

When you silver solder what alloy are you using? Also, I noticed you still use flux even though you have an in-line gas fluxer...is that the "belt and suspenders" approach?

Nicely sculptured speedo mount. I thought you were building a trials version with high pipe and 21" front wheel.

Sickkk

Hey Paul, just went with a friend to fetch back his new (to him) Mountain Cub. He is the friend who suggested your videos. Question, this bike had no ignition switch, do you happen to know where it should be located? Also, on chrome polishing, try using Aluminum foil and water. Tougher spots may need coke as the the cutting fluid. Works amazingly well! Looking forward to more Cub Stories! Thank you

hya paul, i hope no news is good news ,,and just a quick message you can possibly take as a reminder ,we all miss your presence, and inspiration,,whenever i do stuff i always wonder how you`re getting on,

24:08 There it is :)

I like the way you think! RWB

👍👍😎👍👍

I dont figure how the speedo will hold in place in his tubing, as there’s no bottom… but I’m confident !! 😂

Hello, I am curious if you are still teaching the Framebuilding 101 class. I just found out about it and i would love to take the class. There isn't any information of the University web page.... I would really love whatever info you can share

i need two hook shaped pipes and 2" longer rear swingarm to make my Kawasaki cruiser into a dirt tracker.

my tiger looks new

at 50 pounds for a brand new pipe it's a no brainer

first real motorcycle was a terrier the 175cc baby cub, soon after i up graded to a t20S all this in about 1959.

The speedo looks like an copy made in India to me, a normal British cable will not fit, if I'm right, so you'll need a cable to suit it, maybe even speedo gearbox to suit cable also, sorry, I do enjoy your videos.

I say it moved with the added weight, watch the bar end - it clearly dips a whopping 16 of an inch. 😂

hi

I was just having a look at your Facebook and have a suggestion. If you convert or set up another as some type or "public figure" it would probably work better for folks to like and follow you, keep up to date on new YT videos (which are some of the best content available IMO) and such without having to send a friend request - I mean who wants 27,000 friends? Also if you need a truckload of something delivered from the south give a shout - we can deliver day in day out.

Look at that 2 unskippable adds at the start of your video very good

Ah now heres a first ,,, I really dont like it , couldnt you have used the gappy bar mount space to make a plate to act as the shim and the speedo mount ,, it just isnt up to your usual high standards , I dont know about you but the built in a shed from what ever was laying under the bench look does not suit the rest of the build .... normally a fan but not of this bit.

Gone too far lost its original charm
