I'm not a frame builder nor do I plan to become one, so I'm unable to give any useful feedback on your videos, all I know is your videos are very interesting to watch even for people like me, thanks for your content.
Awesome video, looking forward to the demo of the fixture! I might not have paid enough attention, but I think you forgot fork replacements. I think it's great to be able to build a replica for a beloved bike that has come too close to the back of a car - for example. Or for a lovely 62cm Cinelli that has a bulged steerer because somebody tightened up the quill stem with 50Nm... Keep up the good work!
I would suggest you invest on some sound dampening foam for your workshop. There's a lot of echo that doesn't sound good on video ... You can find some dampening foam for quite cheap online, stick it to your wall and it's done, so it's quite an easy fix !
I've thought about this a lot and I don't believe it's quite as easy as you make it out to be. Acoustic materials are actually pretty expensive and with our shop being so large it would take a lot to make a big difference. There are many DIY approaches to *damping* reverberant sound, but those generally don't look very professional and it's important that we keep the shop orderly and open. I do intend to address this eventually, but we just moved in and there is a pretty monumental list of shop projects to tackle so it could really take a while. I think more immediately we will try to improve audio by getting a wireless mic. Putting a mic near the speaker's mouth is a great way to help with this and unfortunately the wireless mics I have bought in the past were very poor in quality. Should have bought nicer stuff. Live and learn. Anyway, the sound quality here is poor and needs improvement. We will improve it in time!

Other option is DIY, though what you gain in money is what you loose in time, and having a business to run you might not have said time.

How about updating 90s mountain bikes that have not functional suspension forks. Also, you don’t want an Asian made fork on your American made frame. Thanks - you have sparked my interest.
It's a small block at the zero mark. Works the same as the folded-over piece on the end of a tape measure to catch an edge. I forget why I added that years ago. Some specific task. Must not have gotten in the way much since then.

100th video CONGRATS!
Thank you!

That's a great reason! I agree! It's all about being empowered and making what you want on your terms.
....or the Teledyne Titans with the split steerer tube from someone apeshitting the stem expander.
That looks fantastic
Thank you!
I want one of these but need a toob bender first. Nice work Joe
We're here when you need us.
Could you do the video about the plate crown fork?

I'm all about wacky pursuit bikes!
The world needs more.

I’ve always been scared to build forks in case of failure 😞
Lets see the jig
That's a very nice jig, Kearney
That video is shot and edited. It's going up next!
