Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge how much a man of integrity Mustie is?
I second this!
@@paulsims9155 here,here...now let's retire to the parlor for cigars and brandy
@gispel7058 if you say parlor or you know what it is.. You are old! Like me. 😆
We need tall back, red leather chairs for the Brandy and cigars. Cheers
@@paulsims9155 or were just fans of the titanic and recognize where that line came from,,lol
Just my thoughts, you said it Alveus!
Two guys on youtube were pulling a 58 VW out of the dirt. It was totally rusted. The whole bottom was gone from sitting in the dirt. The motor was just a big piece of rust with almost all of the metal gone. The one guy looked at it and said.....Mustie could make that run again.
Yeah ....saw that too. The entire cranckcase had been eaten away.
There are several other RUclipsrs I subscribe to that can do and have done pretty much everything over the course of their lives. They have referenced Darren's skills a number of times, and have even given him credit for having taught THEM stuff about what they do. Nuff said. 🙂
Yea I just watched that
Jason…..
@@Seeingred21 Yeah - out of Philly with Road King - "... nuf-a-dat"
After more than 5 years of watching this channel I still find it to be THE BEST small engine tinkering channel on YT. I especially love the motorised self made bikes, a testament of creativity and intelligent design. I learned a lot of valuable things here, so thank you very very much for all that and all good wishes to you for the future !
Personally I don't care for higher resolution, or better audio quality, I still would have learned and enjoyed them things in 720p. So thanks again for not advertising us off topic crappy video games on the way, that really really rocks ! ;)
Agreed! I don't though understand why this channel doesn't have at least a million followers.
Mustie's fantastic I've learnt so much watching his videos...
I agree 100 percent
Yep, the 720p is plenty for most folks, and 1080 is pretty easy to do on a budget. I have a couple 3-chip Panasonic cameras that do 1080-60p, ten years ago when new they were roughly $1000. They can be found on eBay now for $100-300.
Yea. I tried watching other ones. Didn't hold my interest. Mustie1 and ViceGripGarage for me
Darren, as many of the comments have shown, we enjoy ALL of the content you shoot. We like the interaction you have with us. From the old days at your home shop to the present everything you do makes us feel we’re right there wrenching with you. What ever you do we will support you because you’re the real deal a rare thing in today’s screwed up world.👍🇺🇸
Thanks!
You invest a lot to bring us these videos, I really really appreciate your channel, thank you!
Yes he sure does, I didn't realize how much went into it.
What I like about your videos is the camera angle you get as it makes me feel like I'm right there with you. Great job rescuing these items and giving them another chance to live again.
Seconded. Cannot STAND channels where the RUclipsr has his face in the camera for nearly the entirety of the video. They treat it like VanityTube....save the talking head routine for professional legacy media or something
@@Hjerte_Verke hi
There's no other channel that is so generous with active close-up shots. THANK YOU FOR THAT!
Classic Mustie, this is what got me hooked on this channel luv the old bike repair videos 👍
Exactly!
Same here. I also like his ability to figure stuff out, story telling and putting it all together.
Thanks for your comments, honest comments about balancing topics, cost and time to keep the channel healthy. And of course one needs to find out how to avoid problems with the RUclips requirements. Keeps up the good work.
Totally agree - nice to have an insight into the rationale behind "topic" and project selection. Thanks go to Mustie1!
Rebuilding a VW brought me here year's ago,
Once here it's the person that keeps me.
Oh sure some projects have more interest to me, but sharing my Sunday with Musty is worth it's weight is gold.
Sunday morning coffee would be a drag without my Mustie1 fix. Thank you!
You're not one of those Econoline Van fanatics are you? Always whining when Mustie will get back to YOUR favorite subject matter...
Thanks for the talk on RUclips algorithms and the honesty about advertising and income. It’s a reminder that content creators are real folks with lives outside of the videos. I’m glad that you’ve stayed true to principles and not become a shill.
Your channel is NEVER boring. I’m hooked on every word.
I seriously doubt Darren has to worry about any of his subs getting bored by his channel content.
For me, he could rebuild a carb every episode and I'd still watch.
I do like how he changes up on projects tho.
Most likely swapping over to another one mid project while waiting for parts and other items he needs to show up.
1 hour episodes are a treat.
It's his wit and self depreciating humor that keeps me entertained.
Plus the way he talks to us as tho we're actually there in person.
I find myself almost reaching out when he mentions having us hold or move something.
I just repaired a carburetor from my mower. You showed me what to do. Couldn’t do it without you!
It's really not up to us. We will all watch them, but if he makes 10 parts for one project then youtube will stop promoting his videos. RUclipss mysterious algorithm really requires you to constantly try new things if you want the channel to grow.
I think when I started watching this channel, Mustie was less than 15K subs. I watched one video and I was hooked. I’ve been watching ever since. He doesn’t pander for ads, he provides great content, he is genuine and shares have a wisdom and knowledge. We truly appreciate you and the channel.
Mustie, there are loads of high production value RUclips channels out there. Expensive cameras, sound men, editors etc etc etc BUT I'd rather hang out in the shop with you doing your thing. Keep up the good work.
How could anyone get bored watching someone rescue old bikes, cars (vw's) and trucks especially CRUSTY from the scrapheap, Mustie1, 5150VWmx and young Dubworks are about the best for me, no boredom just good old interest. It's really great that someone can see the potential in what appears at first glance a complete rust bucket and bring it back to life. Long may they all continue atb from England
You can save your camera lens by installing a UV filter on it. They come in all sizes and just screw on and are cheap as dirt. Just swap out a new UV filter when it gets fouled, just like tear-offs for your goggles.
I was thinking that too!
@@trevorjameson3213 haha I just mentioned that too before reading this. Simple solution!
Yup, that's a great solution. I hope that Darren is reading this.
also the UV from welding can harm the electronics in the camera so its a win win to use UV filters
Read this comment before watching. So I'm going to see something fly at the camera?
The level of quality Honda put into their cheapest line of motorcycles is really quite impressive. The paint still looks great.
My 1970 trail 70 was excellent build quality. Of course I found a way to tear it up. Pretty much ran it flat-out all the time. It'd go over 50 if you laid-out flat on it...downhill.
@@Jeff_Pendleton I had a Honda CL70 and I think it would do 65 all out.
I weighed more than the average kid. But 65 mph for a 70 cc bike seems like a lot. I don't recall the CL 70. My friend had an SL, and I had a CT. Do you have a picture?
Always wished I had one of those. Used to have several sand pits around town where I could have used it. Was a common thing to have open, public access sand pits in the early 1960's when I was a kid. Long gone now. Filled in & leveled off for housing. One of the things that was awesome about being a kid at that time was, the freedom to goof around. If you broke your arm, or something like that, you just took care of it & didn't file a lawsuit. Common sense USED TO rule the day. Once.
Same here with gravel pits and places to ride
Good Morning everyone.
Morning
@@davidcolesr.8628 Morning sir..
Good morning from Port Saint Lucie Florida
@@douglasschmidt6873 Good Morning from Calgary, Alberta.
Good morning
The cameras are fine. Appreciate what you do.
I hate to say it, once you get this one running, If I lived any closer I would have a hard time not trying to talk you out of it! Even now its nicer than anything I have seen lately! Keep it up sir! We are here for the silly giggles, the dad jokes, and the cool projects!
I agree with other subscribers. I have been watching for years, came for the VWs and stayed for everything else, and I would be glad to put $5 a month into the Patreon kitty. I pitch in on a couple of other RUclips channels and you are definitely worth it!
Thanks for all the work you do to take us along for the ride!
I have to agree out of all the channels I watch this is the only one to date that I would pay for.
I would pay for Jordan Peterson as well
I like how Dr. Mustie says I'm just going to drive it in the woods, so I'm not worrying about this or that, then he fixes everything anyways!!! I'm the same way, I like everything right.!!! I would ride it gently because we know the value is just going to keep going up!!! Thanks for sharing doctor!!!
You should do what u want too mustie I'd watch you regardless mate I get so much information from this channel and you're so patient with Ur subjects love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
As kids my three brothers and I “shared” one, very used, trail 70…what a great bike!, I never knew the bigger version even existed
I don't comment often, but I've been subscribed for years. I truly appreciate all your hard work to keep your channel sponsor free. Happy Holidays from Pennsylvania!
having a sponsor here and there could go a long way for his $ situation. he's given enough for free. let him get paid. worst case we have to watch a 5 second rant!
The idle adjustment is an air bleed, closing it is richer and opening is leaner. Rule of thumb is if the adjustment is on the engine side of the slide then it's a fuel bleed, if it's on the air cleaner side of the slide then it's an air bleed idle circuit
Thanks Mustie for all the videos, I have a feeling I'd watch you restoring absolutely anything, you are my No.1 youtuber! I call you the carburettor king here in the UK!
Mustie, it's all about the "host"... if the host is likeable (even charming!), the content will be good-- especially if the host actually knows what he is talking about! You have a knack for being able to talk to us while you're working that makes us feel like we're actually there and are engaged with the task at hand. Hey, I'm an old retired guy from Alabama, and my Sunday mornings are my "Mustie time". And, yes, I do find myself answering you more often than I'd like to admit! Just keep doing what you're doing, and I'll always be there watching. Boy, does that ever sound creepy! Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs.!
Your content is fascinating. No matter the topic, there's always something to learn. Thank you for your time, resources, and effort!
I always like that series of bikes.
They were extremely popular in the 70's.
My neighbor got a new one for Christmas & I was envious .
But, there were plenty of them around & we cobbled a couple together ...
We rode them in all seasons, including snow covered back rds..
Mustie is a magician-love to watch the trouble-shooting, diagnostics and then the repair. Keep em coming Mustie
Brings back memories. My first motorcycle when I was 9 or 10 was a 1973 Honda XL70. Very similar to this bike. Think the turn signals lasted a week. Dented the tank the very first take off. Mine had a clutch and I wheelied it, dumped me. Into a hand rail she went. I rode the wheels off that thing over the next couple years.
The back stories is a really awesome new element. Super cool .... how about a Mustie bloopers compilation video ? :)
The hand cleaner and bolts in the tank reminded me of an awesome tip: You can take GoJo orange hand cleanser and coat a rusty spot on chrome or shiny steel; you then take aluminum foil and use either strips or a ball of it as a scrubber. The Gojo with it's light abrasive acts as the perfect rust remover and polishing agent, the aluminum is softer than the steel and supercharges the rust removal and polishing with it's interaction with other ingredients in the orange soap... I took the rustiest rims and other chrome(ish) parts= they came out looking perfect, rust even is removed from pitted areas.
Ya, but don't make the mistake, like I did once, of cleaning your glasses with the stuff, by accident.
@@robertweldon7909 technically, it does work. The glass is clean as a whistle. Can’t see through it, but it’s clean lol
Part of that is a chemical reaction. I found that out by accident while cleaning some aluminum drinking cups. I had bleach in the aluminum cup and put a stainless steel steak knife in the cup to soak and a chemical reaction took place and the stainless steel knife just slipped right through the bottom of the aluminum cup. One of the most unusual things I've ever accidentally discovered.
@@Cartier_specialist That's really interesting, hell yeah, thank you
Firstly I’ve watched your channel now for many years and want to thank you for all your hard work. Content is always awesome and please keep it coming.
im not sure what you mean by INVEST.
Your success on RUclips is not only the subject matter but it is also your personality
Thanks Mr Mustie
I was wondering what would happen to the nuts, very impressed, the tank was beautiful inside too.
Good morning surprise -I even had my coffee ready. I tune in for when you do your bike builds. My favorite part is watching your face when you ride them for the first time. I have watched you rebuild Crusty 3 times. It is too bad that the cool stuff doesn’t pay the bills. I really like the long projects🤷♂️, even if you have to chop it up with the other interesting stuff to keep up the clicks. It is all good Mustie. It’s is all good. I’d love to see you build a bike again. It used to be your “Winter Project” ,as I recall.
I had one of these in the late 1980's. Was a great little commuter... as long as I didn't point it at a hill.
Mustie1, if you started a second channel for all motorized bikes and motorcycles and even just pedal bikes I would definitely subscribe. And you would get a lot of subscribers fairly fast if you just announced your second channel on your main channel. Even if you only uploaded on the second channel every couple a months it would be worth it. I think it would help your brain stay more excited on your main channel projects if you were able to do more artsy passion projects. Never stop self improving. Love your videos! 👍🏼👍🏼
Most definitely well said 👏 👌
Agreed!!!! I want more "special projects" from Mustie1.
Yup! I'd definitely watch!
it sounded like he cannot afford to "waste" time on projects outside of what the algorithm wants. kinda sad
Mustie is such a class act that I don’t think he’s ever gonna have to worry about keeping it interesting to keep viewership. I’m sure a number of us that have been here since the beginning would at least try watch him fold doilies 😂
Beats watching Jason wash cars.😅
I'm surprised the custom bicycles aren't where the most viewers are. That's what drew me in years ago. Those bike are kinetic art. If Bob Ross could build a bike : )
Always look forward to your videos. Thank you
I'm liking the carb cleaning story time.
Quality of filming is plenty good enough for me, shows enough detail when required😀😀, so glad you are not into the advertising.
I find every one of your videos interesting. Both your knowledge that you impart to us, and your engaging talks works very well!
Darren, I really look forward to Sunday mornings, to follow whatever is your latest project. In addition to watching you while you work, I enjoy the stories of your adventures when you were young. I also enjoyed hearing about the logistics of working with RUclips, and didn't realize the expenses that go along with producing these videos, such as the rent for your shop, property tax on it, and so on.
Thanks for hanging out with us while doing some wrenching! It’s interesting to hear about your methods of approach for projects, and the need to make numbers. I (wrongfully) assume everyone is like me, and tunes in for our weekly lesson without fail. People may think your RUclips success translates to making
bank, but an insight into just a portion of your overhead clears that up some. Your videos have given so many of us the knowledge, and the confidence to tackle our own projects. Mustie1 is a treasure.
Just like to say, MERRY XMAS MUSTIE1 & All fellow watchers too. You really do make our Sundays a special day :)
A toilet brush works great on a motorcycle gas tank. I get the one with the loop and cut the loop for extra reach.
It’s a Sunday tradition to watch Mustie. I love all the different mechanical content. Thanks for staying true to your channel.
Yours is the first channel I actually ever subscribed to and it is still BY FAR my favourite. Apart from the contents I think that what we all really like is the very personal way in which you interact with the audience making us all feel that we are sitting right there in the shop with you
please please please!! do an artsy bike build! always show us what you want to work on. ive watched all of your vids for years. within minutes of when they drop im watching. your creativity on the bikes is my favorite!!! you might look into filters for your powershot. definitly cheaper then replacing the camera, even used... thanks for the fun content!!
Love the channel, content, and openness. Makes one feel like friends hanging out turning wrenches and sharing time. Thank you!
This brings me back. I was city kid with a single mom. BUT we would go to my cousins farm and ride trail 50s. I was absolutely in heaven when i was there! Riding them ! Thanks for the memories!
Getting into the nuts and bolts so to speak of what it takes to keep the channel going may have been off the beaten path but I think it may have given many of your users a bit of insight into why a channel moves in a certain way, to stay productive. Anyway I try to watch everything you put out because I love the projects and your particular way of presenting them! Keep on Keepin on🧐🤓. Tom
In RE: cameras etc.... I don't watch you expecting you to be different in the future. I subbed because I like what you do.
Love all your videos mustie love from SCOTLAND 🏴
I discovered your channel about 4 years ago. I binge watched every video to start with and I look forward to every video when it drops. I understand trying not to dwell on one project too long to keep interest in your channel. I think I speak for the majority of your followers when I tell you that's one thing you don't have to worry about. Whether it's putting a grill together, cleaning up your camp, or doing a will it run video on something you picked from the side of the road. If it says Mustie1, I'm gonna watch it. I've said it before Darren, keep doing what you do, whatever it is, and we'll keep watching. Merry Christmas from your neighbor over here in Maine. Cheers my friend. 😁👍🎄
I love your videos been watching for years first time I've commented you help me rebuild to Honda three wheelers that I had since I was young thank you so much.
Its SOOO nice to see someone using an ACTUAL Vice Grips instead of those make believe ones , great job Mustie already looking forward to your next upload , Regards from Dublin Ireland ... 🙂
470 views in 5 min, you've got a good fan base
He is Sunday morning Institution !!!!
Daren you do what you want and we will always be privileged to join you!
This old bike cleaned up nice, just enough patina to maintain its street cred. I would replace all of that wiring; it will cause problems down the road.
Please do more of these videos where you put effort into cleanup as well as the mechanical 👍
another awesome video, i feel personally that some of your best videos are the ones where you go from recovery to a full ruststore. seeing a total wreck that most people see, then 5 videos later, a working engine repaired bodywork breaks, wheels, exhaust, to a fully running and complete vehicle. i have learnt so much from watching your videos, i was even brave enough to do my first rebuild on a carburettor, and guess what " I nailed it" was a big surprise for me i must say. love your videos and what you do, from a noob mechanic in the UK.
I also prefer the year long rustomods but understand that loses a lot of engagement with today's instant gratification audience. The survival of the channel takes precedence over keeping a few core viewers happy.
Just be happy he doesn't open every video screaming HEY GUYS IT'S YA BOI MUSTIE BACK WITH ANOTHER RESCUE VIDEO!!!! With cringey cartoon face punch sound effects overlaid on it. Honestly if he did that for just one video I would probably die laughing my f*ing ass off.
Thanks for sharing your day in the garage. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️✨
Yep I remember these. Fun. Don't sweat the cameras. Keep using those Canons. They're fine. DJI does snoop on you and possibly mines that data and sells it. I have a Pocket2 camera even does 4K. But you just need 1080P. Keeps you file size lots smaller. I will shoot sometimes in 1440P, but rarely in 4K unless something really special. I keep old electronics alive on my channel. Not too old. Oldest is like the early 70s. Love your channel. Keep it as it is. The formula works well. You and 5150vw are my favorites. Don't fall into that RUclips trap of selling us stuff we don't want, or need. Thank you Mustie1 for all you do. Happy Holidays too, to you and your family.
I am an avid watcher of every episode. I also am constantly letting the guys I work with know about your channel because we all have the same interests. If all us watchers advertise for you, we can get your subscription up even higher. Keep up the good work.
Good Morning Mr. Mustie! Thanks for another video - always a highlight of my Sunday morning!
Been following this channel for a good few years now and it's always the first one of my subs that I will play when I check for new vids every day. The content is always interesting and the thought processes and methodology of how you go about projects is how I treat my own. I just love the whole let's see if we can make this run again...and the way you involve the audience. Dont think you could improve this channel buddy you have it nailed
Can’t say enough how great it is that you aren’t turning your videos into advertising and begging for subscriptions! Always will watch you first because its quality content and no bs.
Never noticed any problem with quality, appreciate how much work it take to film and do the job
Your videos are always great. Love the old bikes!
Hi mustie, very interesting point of view on cameras. I tried documenting some of my travel with phone camera, then an entry level action-camera. But then I found out I don't really want to be bothered with anything and rather focus and enjoy the scenery. I ride/drive mostly solo and find life peaceful when there's nobody to bother me with.
They are a good bike. I had a 1969 Honda 50. And I rode the hell out of it. Always wanted one these Bikes. Brought back alot of memories. Great Video
Great video , some of Us do not have the time or patients to do these things . I just enjoy being an arm chair mechanic with You .
I've been watching your videos for about 2 years now and I'm amazed at your mechanical knowledge and wondering where and how it is that you learned so much about engines and machinery. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
He learned by doing, and not being afraid to dive in. You can do it too, and with the 21st century information superhighway, info is much easier to come by online. You had to be a real pro to be able to fix this Honda ST90 back when it broke (30 years ago), because you had to buy an expensive manual or learn it all by yourself, maybe in a technical school.
Good stuff Mustie1. I always appreciate the vintage bike restorations, they're my favorite videos to watch. Thanks for all you do. There's no harm in setting up a Patreon account for those who want to donate to the cause.
Well sir you sure are a jack of all trades and I enjoy watching and learning in every video you make, thanks
Nothing better than breakfast and a Mustie1 video on a Sunday morning….
Mustie I find your videos very interesting to watch and I absolutely love these custom built bicycle videos that come out yearly so keep on pumping them out And I think your Due for another build about now. So do what you love, from Australia ❤️
Great job with this ST90! I had a SL70 and still have a CT70. This ST90 looks like a hybrid of the two.
another quality repair job. I agree with the others, I could sit and watch you do the repair jobs no matter what it is. You do quality work, and show us all we ever need ot know. Thank you Darren
Love the fact you are not promoting all the junk out there on You tube these days. Well done so far on this Honda
Mustie, Seasons greetings and happy holidays! Thanks for the content and Sunday morning ritual :)
You need to list that body hammer as a co-star on these videos, it's in it as much as you are, love your channel, keep it up
When you were shaking the gas tank. I started singing. You put the lime and the coconut and shake it all up😂
Enjoy the videos every Sunday. Appreciate that we’re not being sold stuff. Really enjoy when Mustie1 shares stories about his past cars and machines.
Great video! Awesome project! i love watching your videos and the way that you bring stuff back to life. :)
Can't stress enough the importance of clean nuts...
🤣
Reminds me of the "Shwetty meatball Co."
Made famous by Alec Baldwin. Who is now shwetting bullets.
@@gispel7058 🤣
Been seeing that hammer for years now, need to get one, never had one, obviously a sheet metal body tool but used so creatively here...should have had one 50 years ago.
It’s wonderful seeing these come back!
Awesome content as always..and there is much value in what you share. When you touched on the RUclips projects and moreover the filming of projects it totally made since that you needed to keep the views up...great insight to anyone thinking hey let me grab a camera and be a content maker..there is way more to it. But you're still one of my favorite sites and have always enjoyed every one of your videos.😊👍🇺🇸🔧 On a side note I had to run into my local Home Depot the other day and as I was leaving passed right by a Ford Econoline like the one you have fully restored in a beautiful kinda seafoam green and white😊👍
Good morning Mustie, always enjoy your programs, keep up the great work. Wish you and the Mrs. a Merry Christmas. Take care 👍
Thank you for the insight on the youtube stuff. Health care coverage alone can kill ya. I love spending Sundays watching your videos while sipping good coffee. The value for me in all of this is learning from you. I will continue to support your channel even if you show us how to fold paper.😅😅😅 Thank you, and keep doing what you do best.
I love wrenching on stuff and I’m hooked on your channel. I’ve wondered about the ins and outs of the RUclips thing and thank you for the little bit of insight.
Thanks for all your videos through the year, have a great Christmas from Norwich 🇬🇧
Wot time there
Get a uv filter for the lens screw on but sacrifice the filter. Instead of the lens
Such patience precision and perfection in assy of carb.........
for cameras, id reccommend getting a polarising lens, I think also called a neutral density filter. doesnt really effect image quality at all, theyre meant for blocking out reflections and other polarised light, but to everything other than that theyre perfectly clear. they cover the lens and are pretty cheap so theyll save the glass on it from any debris so instead of you replacing the whole lens or camera, you just replace the cheap bit of plastic.
Yes exactly. A great idea I’ve used one for years. As you note very economical.
Yep, even a camera without threads for a filter can be adapted, then you only have to replace the sacrificial bit, saving the camera.
Polariser yes to protect the lens and redone reflections if they are a problem. No to Neutral density filters which reduce the light level to allow photographing in overly bright situations so are not called for here. Should work if the filter can be attached easily.
The problem with polarizer or ND filter is they don't work well in low light. A polarizer is made to remove glare and a ND filter is to block light when being used in very bright sun. But there are clear filters made to protect the lens.
