- Hey I hope you're all doing well! Looks like we're getting back into the swing of things. Can you believe it's been a whole year? What happened!? Well I guess none of that matters now. What matters is finishing, and that we will.
In this video we do a quick shop tour and then start back on the Mini Town Bicycle Build. I only get to chasing the threads on the bottom bracket shell but hey, it's a start!
Good to see you again!
I´m so happy you are back! Missed your motivating, calm videos! Thanks!
Welcome back! When my daughter was a baby I would watch all of your vids while feeding her and putting her to bed. Your vids hold a special place for me because of that!
Pithy is back! excellent!
Nobody minds someone pausing a build to move their entire shop. The new space is huge! Cool you're still doing your thing man. Nothing wrong with budget tools, second hand tools you never know what they broke and fixed wrong, modded, or "upgraded".
Thanks for showing the dies working. Over time it'll pay for itself in grinding/finishing time of donor bike crap. :D
For your bench holes, here's a couple of "super glue wood tapping tricks" out there. Like for tapping machine thread holes in wood. Straight superglue in the hole, "Baking soda and super glue"(guitar luthier trick), etc. Less worrying about messing up your nice cabinets the better! :)
Sorry this comment got so long, glad you're back! Thanks for letting us hang out in your new shop!
welcome back dude , the video notification actually gave me chills :)))
LOL!
New house, same spiders. Really excellent to see you back, I often check to see if you have made new videos, and I thought maybe you had
Nice to have you back!
You don't know how jelly I am of that Park Tool Thread Cutter ! I've screwed up the BB threads on my daily ride (was too desperate to rebuild it, having gone weeks without it) and would love nothing more than to fix it myself, eventually.
Decided instead to put the £500 towards a custom frame that will accept a Pinion gearbox + belt drive: 'in for a penny, in for a pound' as we Brits say!
Good to see you back, all the best :-)
Glad you're making videos again!!!!!
So glad you’re back! Nice shop, too!
I bet you love the new workspace...can walk around without tripping over yourself!
What an exquisite channel name. Kudos to you.
Thanks for coming back :)
Three things: First, welcome back! Second, oil is 1 part on the cutter 2 parts on the cut. And last, but not least, third, you should always clean the inside of the threaded area of any welded dingleberries. Reason is, you'll have chips that can be just as hard or harder than the thread cutter itself. And considering how expensive (vs how they should be) it's best to keep them away from chipping. Especially since any chip on these can destroy threads later.
Excellent advice! Ty!
Words you are looking for: tap, "breaking the chip"
So glad you're back
Awesome to see you back!
Very happy to see another video
Glad you're back!
Welcome back Steve, hope you and your family are well.
Never have I been more pleased to wake up at 2 am then I was seeing this vid! Happy to see you back !
LOL!
it's great to see you back! I thought you had lost interest in frame building but luckily I was wrong. Just in these days I'm starting to build my frame jig totally inspired by yours. Thanks for sharing your builds, dude!
Glad to see you´r back!! I hope this is the first of many new videos and many new projects!!
Glad you back!
Great potential in that workspace. Love your videos and can-do attitude.
(Chain the empty cylinder to the wall though)
hi from remote carabean island,,so glad you re back in buikding bike, like you know how to, the mini is an awesome machine,
I was watching Jody at Welding Tips and Tricks last night, wondering if you'd ever upload a video again. Serendipitously, here you are.
Jody is a legend. Love watching him lay welds with no pulse.
Pretty cool to see you back ! See you in a year for your next video :D
Haha this made me LOL
welcome back bro,, really glad that you share video again
Great to see you back, man. You've been missed!
Yay, new videos! I still have the stickers you sent me! They're on my big toolbox.
Pithy is back !!!!
Good to see you back ;)
Welcome back! I saw your comment on @Cobra Framebuilding and glad to see you and your new place. You should have made a game of "Was This tool at the old place?"
oh man that would have been so fun! Dangit!
When I tap holes, I like to use a white lithium grease so that the chips stick to the valleys in the tap and keeps the cut clean while lubricating the threads.
Oh, HAPPY DAY!! So very happy to see a NEW PITHY VIDEO!!! Let me join the chorus of your fans and say WELCOME BACK!!
The legend is back, woow
Good to see you back g!
Steve, I was *delighted* to see you come onto my feed just now. Glad you're back!!!
Greetings from Sweden! Nice to see you back!👍👍
Welcome back Legend!
Welcome back, this brings me back to my first time cutting a bottom bracket and that was perfect. (I must have done it a hundred times by now). It gets less scary every time.
Nice looking shop!!!
Thanks Joey!
Welcome back! I’m so happy to know you’re still building bikes.
Welcome back! I’ve actually managed to build two frames since being inspired by you three years ago. Thanks for all the great videos. Looking forward to more.
He lives!
OMG I seriously thought this project had vapoirzed. So glad to see you again!
Heeeyyyy good to see you back! New shop looks great! Definitely a space upgrade for you, hope all is well. :)
Hey, thanks!
@@PithyBikes just re-watched a few videos, silly question: any particular reason you used 1 hand to tap the bottom bracket instead of using both handles once you got it started? I assumed it was for control/alignment. Cheers!
@@just.some.dud3 Yeah basically that. Seems easier and safer to control one at a time. Cheers!
is very nice to see you again, i was missing your meticulous work
Welcome back! Good to see you again. 🤠
Great to see you’re doing well. Lovely new space. 👍👍😎👍👍
I was just thinking this past week what you were up to. It's awesome to see you back at it. The new work space looks amazing. Looking forward to more videos (as an when you're able to get them out, that is).
Welcome back! Best YT channel ever as you got me started in framebuilding. Nice work with those taps and the new workspace looks awesome!
Thanks Ben!
Great to see you back! New workspace looks so good!
Hi Steve, I'm so happy about you going on with your videos! I was in fear that something bad happened to you or your family.
At the moment I'm visiting master class as a bike mechanic and after that I'll train my skills as a framebuilder! To be honest, you did some on this decision ;)
Go on my dear!
Best, Felix
With current delays with bike availability locally made bike may see greater demand, most bike shops near me are almost empty (NZ)
mucccccho tiempo sin verte my brother
YES!
Welcome back! Great to see you
Welcome back! You were missed!
Enfin de retour !!! Merci beaucoup
Welcome back :)
Welcome back Steve! Glad you are doing well. Nice new workshop. I just ordered a Prusa last week :) Looking forward to more builds 👍👍👍
Yay!
So glad to see you’re back! Love your videos!
Great, you are Back. Missed your video’s!
YAY~!
YAY my day is MADE! Happy to see you!!
So good to see you !!! Welcome back !
nice to see you are back!
Welcome back👍👍👍
so glad to see this!
It was cool, thank you for that.
Welcome back! I love your short and to the point pb logo. I'm considering building a 27.5 belt drive geared hub folding hardtail mtb that I can keep in my vehicle. Your overall progress as a frame/bike builder, including showing your missteps, is truly inspiring and entertaining.
Where do you buy your 4130 tubing from btw?
Last time I bought was from Aircraft Spruce - www.aircraftspruce.com/ I just checked and looks like they still sell 4130 thin wall.
Missed you.
You are back! Great!
Welcome back
Brother, you are a professional. Can you make a video of how to make a pedal kayak? from this type
nice!! welcome back!!
I was wondering...
Prusa! the only way to 3D print
Keep em coming :)
Welcome back! I really hope this is the last video that starts with, "I know it's been a while."
LOL!
I have been binge watching your videos with my daughter!! We are so happy your back
that was unexpected!
NINETH!!!!!!
welcome back. I hope you're fine!
A great project takes as long as it takes. It's great to see you back to the mini bike. If you're on instagram, I've got my Soma Mini Velo (with some tasteful upgrades) on my profile at lukebutdonttouch that is silver with black components.
Ah I'm not on Instagram anymore, or rather I don't open the app much these days. It's so hard to find the time. CZcams alone takes up so much of my free time!
Nice Video👍 Where have you bought the threading tool for the bb shell? I also have to buy a reaming tool for 1 1/8 inch head tubes, could you recomend a product?
Don't know about head tubes, but I got my BB shell threader from a bicycle website (can't remember which one now). I think I just searched up Park Tool Bottom Bracket thread tool. Good luck!
@@PithyBikes thanks :)
1 tahun baru upload brooo.
Han pasado 84 años 👵
hello, my bike has the same problem, where can I find this key? is there a link?
where did you move to?
I'm still on the East Bay in CA. :)
I want this thread cutter. Kindly send me the link
All of the argon ARE GONE
lol
What happened to the guy who used to run this channel? The former guy was bright, inquisitive, articulate and meticulous. This goofy stoner can't remember shopping for parts, buying them, or even what they are. The old videos were engaging and informative. This one is tedious nonsense. The explanation around the bottom bracket taps was scary. Smoke much?
I wasn't sure how to respond at first but after sleeping on it I realized it's a great question. 2020 was a challenging year and I had a lot of other things to think about, so the channel took a pause for much longer than intended. When I began to think about starting again I needed something to change, I wanted to try some new things. A year ago when I left off, I was making content that was scripted and took a lot of time to produce. When I'm doing voice overs and you can't see me on camera - I'm reading from a script in most cases, especially when I'm talking about technical things. In my most recent videos, there's no script. It was intentional because I wanted the videos to feel more off the cuff and natural like you're just hanging out with me in my shop. I'm not excusing myself from my flakey presence in the last few videos. It's true that I look like a stoner! However, even though I live in CA - I do not smoke. ;) I appear that way because I'm still extremely uncomfortable on camera, so much so that I often forget what I want to say. But this is the reason I'm shooting this off the cuff format because I want to improve in this area. Like everything in my life, I'm always looking for things to improve on. So that's why I'm bad at this right now. And who knows, I may never get good at it but I want to try. I feel like this embodies the spirit of my channel. It's for people who want to learn and improve on things they may not be good at in the beginning. And lastly, if there's one thing I have taken away from 2020, it is that I should keep striving to improve myself and have compassion, understanding and forgiveness for other's who are on that journey with me. I appreciate the question and I hope that clears things up.
@@PithyBikes You’re not bad at this, you’re great at this. I didn’t recognize it was an intended new format. I love it. Many thanks. Keep’em coming.
@@Al-ix5um thank you! Will do. 👍
I'm not a fan of those glasses. They make your face look weird. The ones you had before looked great. Suited you face.
They're prescription safety glasses, they're supposed to look stupid. ;) All joking aside, I do want to change them because they can be uncomfortable at times. Now that you mention it I suppose I can just wear my normal glasses, but those don't look much better lol!
@@PithyBikes Oh! if their safety that's different. ok.
Quit
What do you mean?
@@PithyBikes Quit was meant to be the last word of my other comment. Sorry, I am not very good at intetwebbing
@@broccoli5408 haha ok gotcha! 😄
