Thanks for watching
Looks like a cool project, and that you're gearing up to make a bunch of them. I'll be eager to see what's next.
I appreciate every vid you post. One of a handful of weld channels that are proper.
While my hat's down for the welding and overall fabrication skill and rightly so, I must admit I like how it's "gloves off" when latheism comes into play 😂
Yeah, can catch your glove on lathe and milling which in turn causes the possible loss of digits. Hard to count to 5 with missing digits. 😢
Damn sure glad to see you are still with us. Been looking for more content from you. Looking forward to more in the future. Always enjoy watching your videos.
nice to see you again love your work
take off the self-made nuts before welding, replace them momentarily with steel nuts. The "loctite" adhesive weakens at high temperatures! Good work. It is always a pleasure to follow your creations.🥸
Excelente tutorial maestro, gran trabajo, esperando a ver qué sale de ese proyecto, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 👍🤓
Always a great video
C'est bien on attendais ça depuis longtemps
Those bends are perfect.
I would love to see you build a mountain bike.... Something like a classic mid 90's Answer/Manitou Hard tail..... I loved those old school handmade high end mountain bikes
I think it is a real art to make the welds look so good... You have some serious skills bro... Much appreciate the channel content 😎👍😎
Anything built by “Frank the Welder” wink ifykyk BTW, he’s does have an IG acct.
Seeing you with TIG gloves using the disc sander ! I have a permanent 45° chamfer on my right thumb, abrasive caught my glove, and pulled my thumb down against the bed.
It happens, not good, mine went down to the bone.
Take care.
I've sanded off my fingertip a bit before because I slipped (hot part) and wasn't wearing gloves. Pick your poison.
I usually wear gloves and stay situationaly aware of exactly where my hands and gloves are.
A friend lost a bit of finger when his glove was caught by a big grinder. He nor I will wear them with such equipment. I've sanded and ground and filed myself a time or two-because stuff happens. Aaron displays great dexterity even when gloved and is reducing his Al exposure (a good thing).
You building a bike wow wonderful
I am waiting for your next video sir.
Sweet!
Almost like watching Joe Pie with his lathe. He’s out in AZ also you ever collab on any projects that aren’t on CZcams? Both your skills are legendary imo ✨💫💎
Профи 👍🤘✊️
I love how much I learn from you! Thank you! Is that the same lathe in your shop list on the subscription site?
Yep, same one
nice
Alu is a good thermal conductor, welding generates rather high level of heat, and thread-lock compounds break down being thermally stressed. Thus I would consider thread-locking those thumb-screws after weld joints are completed, not before as shown.
He's not welding that end, it's the crown that needs welding. Then the spacer is removed.
Loctite is like ketchup. The liquid always precedes the good stuff
I think you are supposed to try and shake well before use. Never works for me, but I try anyway.
Do you measure with precision tools before you start machining or is it by eye?
It depends if the dimensions are critical, and/or if the part needs to be replicated.
In this case, the fork width spacing and the hole diameters are critical, so they were measured with calipers during machining (of the main bar).
The first knurled knob was done "by eye", then measured and replicated.
At $420 mL I would have turned a tiny 6061 funnel on that lathe, scraped up the blue loctite and put it back in the tube. 😂
Welding and fabrication ok. Camera work is at solid 10. Just kidding everything is a 10
Somebody say you're Ronnie Mc #69..
