Great vid as always! Love the snoring Hedge hog, my family crest has 3 hedge hogs on it! Apparently hedge hogs are having a bit of a decline in old Blighty (according to the super-vet) so good on ya for putting him in the wood shed!
Great to see the Leaf on the road, I hope it's not the last we see of it. .... Then immediately we are on to the next project, I will follow the build as I have with the others. Look after Hedgy 🦔
hedge hog has gone already , you know how animals dont like to be 'put' anywhere haha the leaf has just begun mate theres still loads to do and miles to be had .... thanks mate👊
Excellent channel for all petrol heads. Really enjoy the ingenuity of fabrication, and watching the "eye" you've got for fabrication, and the finished car - Brilliant👍😊
I recieved my 2 Oak Swamp T shirts a couple of weeks back! Awesome and I'll be back for a frog oil one in the New Year. Look after the hedgehog, they are awesome, when I moved just over a year ago I had to leave a little colony that lived in my garden and the old original female who hibernated on my garage and had young. I didn't mind leaving my house or anything but it was tough leaving the spiny kittens as they used to come sit under my chair on a heated pad while I smoked outside. Have a great Christmas, buddy
Merry Christmas to you and the family Bryan. I really enjoy your unique version of found, repurposed parts, rust and vision for personalised, handbuilt cars. I'd never get away with it in Victoria, OZ where I live is a true Nanny State that stifles that sort of creativity. It would be interesting to know something of your history. It seems that your a man of many talents, music included. More power to you. 😎👍 PS. I purchased one of Rat speedster T shirts. Cheers from Downunder. ~ Vince.
thank you mate ...its getting tighter here , the most of europe is shackled too...im loving building stuff and hopefully it will stay the same! cheers brother
'here is a cool idea for you' How about kewi show polish on the Leaf it has an oil/ wax base the will maintain the finish that you have so it protected , will shine and resist water.
hahahahah a few people have suggested different stuff to put on the leaf but i am in deed gonna boot polish it mate ...its the smell and everything , was always my plan , we think alike bro ...cheers
A very inspiring watch as always! Just got a couple of Rat T-shirts- keeping one aside for more formal occasions, as one does. Your sheepskin sequence was pretty funny btw- you probably won't want to watch the Black Sheep movie if you want to drive the Leaf without having nightmares haha💀 Cheers from NZ!
Nice work Bryan, leaf look the bollocks. Can't understand why this channel isn't way bigger, quality content and excellent soundtrack from Jim. Looking forward to the single seater build.
Look after that hedgehog. Their numbers have declined dramatically. 60 years ago we had one living under our hedge in Kent. Mom would give her a bowl of stale bread in warm milk.
Re indicator issue put the indicator unit feed to the earth side,as at present you are feeding 2 sets of positives,if you switch the earth side it'll work wether you have brakes on or 'indicators'.thats how yanks have the wires - same on my77 vette.hope this makes sense
Hi Bryan, The Leaf looks fantastic, I love it! Another great video with Jim's blues and boogie woogie. I always look out for you scorching along Satchell Lane, but not seen you yet! Happy Christmas to you all. P.s. thanks for the baseball cap Greg brought me. Nick.
Bryan - animals love you and feel safe with you. But judging by the maniacal leer while wearing the sheepskin that doesn't include sheep! Nice to see The Leaf on the road at last and I can't wait to see the next project! Blessed Be to you both for tomorrow's Winter Solstice when I shall be scaring the good folk at The Station East in Gateshead with my dark and heavy music.
Excellent content again Bryan, well done! I am always waiting for the next episode of your builds, the honesty and humour in them makes them real, not much of that in the world today, keep it up! Happy Christmas to you and I look forward to the Big Seven!!
Merry Christmas brother! Thanks so much for sharing 👍 so cool to see our sticker on the banjo on your channel!!! Best RUclips channel on the planet!! ARCO
Thanks for this years viewing..great projects ahoy Happy Christmas to you and the beautiful one p.s...Tell Jim to try tensioning the skin on his banjo, but not tare it (doh)
Aloha and Happy Holidays from Hawaii to you Bryan, and the Oak Swamp Family and Crew! The Leaf is looking proper, and quite cozy I must say! Thanks for all the great Swamping around this year, and the killer tunes from Jim. Looking forward to seeing/hearing more in the year to come.
The Christmas lights are a nice touch. Love the cruzin' and the friendly waves of approval from the pedestrians. I'm sure the hedgehog appreciated your soft touch. :-) Bryan, you did a fine job on the Leaf. On the edge of my chair for the Austin 10 project. Holiday cheers to you and your family. Jim too. 🎄🎅
Whoo hoow! Looking good Brian, glad you got there in the end. Looking forward to seeing more adventures in it but also looking forward to seeing the Austin big seven being built!
Congrats mate as usual all that hard work paid off , What a ripper car you have created once again Anyway have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year mate and stay safe.
Great to see the Leaf on the road 😊, looks really good. Regarding the indicator leds, just wondering if they need a bit more earth connection🤔 I think you mentioned they need the bulb to operate, maybe they’re a bit sensitive to earth and when the second feed comes live it back feeds the other led across the circuit board. Maybe try a bit of wire from the led negative straight to the battery neg post, just to prove me wrong 😅😅. Anyway, Very Merry Christmas to you all, and a good new year 🎄🍻🍻🎂
They say about accordions, that when you pick one up for the first time and start playing it, it sounds awful. As you practice it a lot, you get used to it.
Well done mate getting the roadster driving so well! Lovin the sheepskin, looks warm and comfy, is it? Good job with the electrics, can be a pain. Another animal in your zoo🤣. Looking forward to the new project. Well done again re the ratty roadster you did that well quick. Happy Christmas to you all, have a great family time.
thanks mush its lovely and cosy in there but it needs to be with no screen hahah big seven has begun ,,,coming very soon , happy christmas to your tribe to bro
Wow Bri what a great build and great year on Oak Swamp. The Leaf, Vintage meets, France music. Loved it all. Look forward to next year. Merry Christmas to and the family. Cheers 🏁👍
There are RUclips channels and RUclips channels. Many are so so formulaic, but this one remains interesting, informative, entertaining and totally believable, even having the workshop invaded by a snoring hedgehog! Keep building, keep improvising and keep being creative, as its far more interesting than watching someone spending eye watering amounts of money, pretending to be clever and telling the watchers they did everything themselves. Drive your new creation with care and flair!
As for the indicator issue, traditional flasher units operate on current drawn from the indicator lamps, as you have LEDs they draw a lot less current, something to consider as for the issue present. Cheers
Another excellent vid 👍 fukn excited to watch the big 7 build !!! Never fails to get me amped up and out the shed to get on with my t ! Merry xmas dude
Hi Brian great channel . Re front bike tyres .bike tyres have softer compounds and give more grip than car tyres as the riders life depends on it . The contact area is more dependent on pressure being matched to weight . Play with tyre pressures before changing tyres . Check out the Myth that wider whells give more grip . Merry Christmas to you and Sass . Cheers Howard
Looking forward to the next build. I'd get pulled by the fuzz every time i went out in something like your last build up here in Leeds. 1 of the local scrots would try to nick it even if it was left on our drive. Merry xmas to you & yours. All the best for the year to come
Thanks for all the cool and maybe not so cool tunes over the last year. Ooh and some excellent content.
haha my pleasure mate
Great vid as always! Love the snoring Hedge hog, my family crest has 3 hedge hogs on it! Apparently hedge hogs are having a bit of a decline in old Blighty (according to the super-vet) so good on ya for putting him in the wood shed!
i love the interaction with wildlife we have down here it feels special and hedge hogs are really funny little characters ...fantastic ....thanks mate
Great to see the Leaf on the road, I hope it's not the last we see of it.
.... Then immediately we are on to the next project, I will follow the build as I have with the others.
Look after Hedgy 🦔

Thank you very much!
Lovin' the continued tradition of shed car building - creative ingenious and fun!
fantastic thanks
High time for a _Flaming-shirt hedgehog-rocket from the Swamp_ backpatch!
I agree 😂
hahahahahah
i was just coming to show you this comment Sas , knew you would like it !! xxxxx
😂@@oakswamp
I recieved my 2 Oak Swamp T shirts a couple of weeks back!
Awesome and I'll be back for a frog oil one in the New Year.
Look after the hedgehog, they are awesome, when I moved just over a year ago I had to leave a little colony that lived in my garden and the old original female who hibernated on my garage and had young.
I didn't mind leaving my house or anything but it was tough leaving the spiny kittens as they used to come sit under my chair on a heated pad while I smoked outside.
Have a great Christmas, buddy
hey mate thanks so much for the support with the tees ...hedge hogs are lovely funny animals i really like them , all ... cheers
Spiny kittens are the cutest 😊
What a lovely cool car!! Your a genius! Sir.
Wow, thanks!
Looks great! Love the sheepskin and the look of the “fluffy collar” around the cockpit!

thank you mate ...its getting tighter here , the most of europe is shackled too...im loving building stuff and hopefully it will stay the same! cheers brother

thanks !
You turned out a great car there Bryan. Maybe give the body work a rub with boiled linseed oil for a bit of protection. 👍👌
thanks mate ...smells nice too !
'here is a cool idea for you' How about kewi show polish on the Leaf it has an oil/ wax base the will maintain the finish that you have so it protected , will shine and resist water.
hahahahah a few people have suggested different stuff to put on the leaf but i am in deed gonna boot polish it mate ...its the smell and everything , was always my plan , we think alike bro ...cheers

thanks alot and to you and yours mate
Look after that hedgehog. Their numbers have declined dramatically. 60 years ago we had one living under our hedge in Kent. Mom would give her a bowl of stale bread in warm milk.
Never give them milk, it is really bad for a hedgehog.
Cat food is ok, or chopped liver.
Well done,love Jim's music.Have a great Christmas.All the best from New Zealand.😊🎉
thanks mate ....happy christmas
What a cool car you have made again, can't wait for the next project, great work Brian.👍
thanks mate ...its started !!!!!😁
Re indicator issue put the indicator unit feed to the earth side,as at present you are feeding 2 sets of positives,if you switch the earth side it'll work wether you have brakes on or 'indicators'.thats how yanks have the wires - same on my77 vette.hope this makes sense
i did think about running yank style, to be honest its all temporary for the moment cheers bro
Wonderful another successful project well done Brian, Happy Christmas to you and yours.

Good effort getting the leaf over the line , look forward to seeing it with some decent rubber shoes 😅
thanks mate , yes wires and good tyres is deffo needed
Great to see the Leaf on the road 😊, looks really good.

ill give that a try...cheers mate happy christmas
Sheepskin seat covers were popular in South Africa back in the 70s.
really?? i have it because its bloody cold with no windscreen in uk winter , ive heard they are good for hot climate too
@oakswamp Believe it or not, it's better than vinyl in hot climate.
Happy Holidays from California! 🌞🌴
and to you😁🌧️
I think you have to use a L E D flasher instead of the regular for them to work.
it is one , thats why i mentioned it mate cheers
Merry Christmas to you and yours Bryan! We very much enjoy your old school fabrication!
thanks mate, merry christmas to you to brother
They say about accordions, that when you pick one up for the first time and start playing it, it sounds awful. As you practice it a lot, you get used to it.
i dont really understand??

thanks alot Steve and to you and yours mate, cheers!
There are RUclips channels and RUclips channels. Many are so so formulaic, but this one remains interesting, informative, entertaining and totally believable, even having the workshop invaded by a snoring hedgehog!

Cool working with the same lite second hand stores 😂

Really looking forward to the next project sounds awsome. Keep up the good brian. Great channel. Hope you have a great christmas.
Thanks! You too! new project is looking crazy already ....very soon mate cheers
As for the indicator issue, traditional flasher units operate on current drawn from the indicator lamps, as you have LEDs they draw a lot less current, something to consider as for the issue present. Cheers
it is a LED flasher unit , 0.2 of an amp as i remember
Another excellent vid 👍 fukn excited to watch the big 7 build !!! Never fails to get me amped up and out the shed to get on with my t ! Merry xmas dude
Good to see the car going. Is it up for a run to Exbury on Sunday. There is a meet other there with a BBQ.
