Not many people take the time to turn a "simple" stand into a work functional and aesthetically pleasing product. Thanks again P.B.
Thanks to you I’ve added a new word to my vocabulary. “Skookum” will be known throughout this small town in Georgia in no time.
You should go and check out AVE tool reviews .. watch a couple of his videos and you will learn many new words and phrases ...
@@tomthompson7400 You'll be confused for the first few, until you find the AvE glossary of terms. :D
And I don't even know where I picked that word up from...
Started in Manitoba...worked its way West...not East@@paulbrodie
Watching Paul assembling the wheels I didn't think the long M8 would be countersunk into the top plate ... and then, satisfaction. Very nice!
Yes, it is the simple things in life that often provide the most pleasure, attention to detail is underrated in this day and age.
the Aermacchi has now the stand she deserves. Nice fit !
By the way, thank you for Henry Ford's screws story. It's always a pleasure to learn these bits of history.
As they say on Project Binky...Overkill is my Second Favourite kind of Kill...👍😂👍
Yeah, but Paul is a bit quicker on a project than the Binky Boys! Les in UK
Yeh, no 7 hour brackets on Paul’s Chanel. I’m a bit gutted binky will soon be over.
@@mopedmarathon Hmm, aren’t we all. But there’s more in the Binky Boys (eg.,the transporter), and plenty more to come from Paul too. This stand episode has got me thinking about something similar in my garage. Les
At first I was thinking overly complicated, but very nice details you have on the stand.
Thank you! I do like simple, if possible.. Thanks for watching and commenting....
I read somewhere that Phillips screws where designed to cam out under load so that assembly line workers couldn't over torque fasteners. Given the number of Phillips I've destroyed over the years I believe it.
Yes, I think I read that too. I'm not a big fan of them.
Roberts is a great design. JIS is pretty good, too. I don't like the camming out feature of Phillips, either!
Completely overbuilt ........ absolutely the way things should be built 👍🤪👍
Skookem lol Ave has changed the world
Talk about perfection at it’s finest 😎
Thank you Charles...
The coolest surf board for a motorcycle
Super heavy duty, possibly even Skookum!
You two make great videos, you have a real knack for this stuff Mr Brodie!
Form follows intention! Well done.
Binge watching all your videos . Thanks from a fellow Canadian from Toronto. Coffees sent! Appreciate all your videos
Thank you Jamie. Appreciate your comments!
@@paulbrodie you’re most welcome!
Welcome back from your small break, good to have you two back.
WOW.....a master at work stunning bike table.....my dad was a Tool Maker in Ford Uk in Liverpool England.love the story about the Screws and Henry Ford.
Nick in the UK.
Hey Nick, thanks for watching and commenting from the UK!
Very fun project, Paul-very nicely done ✅👍Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. Right to the point, great motorcycle work/stand.
That is so well engineered you could bolt an engine to it and race it, amazing well done.
that is...just great pure art
Nice work. I particularly like the wheel holding system simple and elegant 👌
Love your workshop setup. it looks so functional. 🫡
Thank you. My shop is a little full, but it works for me...
👍👍😎👍👍 ……… not bad for an old guy 😉
Hey, that's my line. Thanks for watching!
When you're having fun, so do we Paul, so do we!
Lunatic. Brilliant
Beautiful work! I'm meandering my way through this Tiger Cub playlist and just loving it! Big ups to whomever does the editing. It really shines in this episode!
Thanks Larry! Mitch does all the editing. That is truly outside my realm of expertise.
aah, another Paul Brodie... just what i wanted this Saturday. :)
Nothing like here one frame building idol reference another one :)
Square drive screws whenever possible….. I had no idea how old the idea was. Great videos mate, thanks for sharing. 🏍🇦🇺👍🏻
Thank you Nuffy.
Great work Paul 👍👌
I'd like to learn more about your excelsior project that make for a good video.
Yes, Excelsior videos are on the distant horizon, getting closer...
You have 1.000.000 Support from me ,and I'm learning so much from you , God bless u mr Paul #legendPB
Thank you NEVER OLD FORM.
@@paulbrodie i have tig welding and mig mag i wish i can work like you do mr Paul
Very interesting project! As a proud Canadian you might be interested to know that Robertson screws are practically the only type of wood screws that you can buy in far-away New Zealand. The other (less popular) kind available in New Zealand is Pozidriv -- Phillips wood screws are only obtainable via specialist suppliers. So a win for Canada over the USA Phillips (and the British Pozidriv) in terms of screwing New Zealanders...
You, David, have a sense of humour! Thanks for watching :)
@@paulbrodie Thanks, Paul, for making such entertaining & educational videos -- hugely appreciated!
Luckily we have torx head screws in all shapes and sizes now here in the US. The Robertson and Phillips cam out to easily, especially if removal of older screws are necessary. I worked with a company called Tru Fast here years ago to have them change their up to 14" long shaft screws from a Robertson to a T40 torx that we used for installing Structural Insulation Panels up to 12"es thick into log and timber beams. A huge improvement that they adopted and use to this day. You can even get finish screw in torx head here.
@@bobpoor6348 I have a good selection of s/s socket Allen screws, so it's just real easy to grab one or more when I need them. I do not have a selection of Torx, but if I did I'm sure they would get used. I can see their advantages.
Excellent as always Paul. :)
Fantastic work as Always.
You are a legend too Paul! Really enjoying your videos.
Thank you Rickard.
Best part of my day thats for sure. Another perfectly timed video (for me anyways) as Im in the middle of drawing up a welding cart. Most of your ideas have overruled mine! I watched Allen Millyards latest, his "aluminium" fuel tank and bodywork were as amazing as yours. The education provided by you, Allen, and of course Ron Covell has been amazing.
I subscribe to both of those gentlemen you mentioned. Thanks for watching!
Overkill is an understatement! You really like making chips and welds 😂 but as long as the results fits your need nobody will criticize!
Like the stand, now replace the wheel clamp with your own clamp so it is at the same level of craftsmanship as the rest of the stand.
i second these very thoughts!
I cannot believe I've never thought to build stands like this for my bikes. This is genius. I love your channel sir, thanks for sharing
Michael, thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you build a great stand.
Just found your video's, man after my own heart, don't buy junk when you can build something beautiful. Subscribed.👍
Thank you Laurence.
Great to see your back .. a wee break does no harm at all .
It was good to have a break, even if I spent most of my time working on my shop and re-organizing...
Lovely job and it shown me that motorcycle work benches can be fantastic looking as well as practical. Coffee on its way. ☕️
Thank you George.
Beautiful work there mate! I really do think it was worth all 3 Days! Thanks for the post
Thank you Darius.
Really love this, thank you. I'm going to build one, similar to this, for my dad's garage. It'll leave our lift free and allow us to build up a project on it. Keeping it really mobile is a great idea. Cheers
Russ, thanks for watching.
Some 40 years ago I built my father a tilting motorcycle ramp/stand from plans that Harley-Davidson included in their WW2 service manuals for their military 45 cu.in. motorcycles. I again made another for my son some 12 years ago. Both are still in use. Made from plywood and 2x8's. Unfortunately their heavy and have no wheels. I'll consider Paul's design now.
I just stumbled in on your channel, I must say Im quite intrigued. I find you're craftsmanship is pure ! Thank you sir for the history on the Robinson Square Screw , I prefer them myself ! Just didn't know how they came about! Goodday
George, thanks for stumbling onto our channel. I believe it is a Robertson Square Screw.
HELLO PAUL,
Sacré bonhomme !!!soudant,brasant,fraisant,tournant,alésant etc etc...
La pleine possession d’un nombre remarquable de techniques ouvre toujours
sur le meilleur choix pour traiter une fabrication ou une réparation.
Créativité et recherche d’élégance dans le style closent cette louange ,qui pourrait bien être
interminable!
Warm workshop, classics or racing oldies around and a cup of coffee is the best place to be.
Thank u,Paul,Keep on doing!
Thank you Richard.
Looks great Paul plus you looked like you really enjoyed building it
Neil, thanks for watching and commenting.
One word. Craftsmanship.
Something I feel is slowly dyeing from this world.
Cheers Paul. Rock on.. and thank you for sharing your journeys.
Thank you Jason. Yes, the world is changing so it's a good time to share knowledge and just maybe some people will use their hands more to fix and make stuff.
Well done. 😎
I love old school machinist. They actually use a center drill when drilling holes.
And I thought everyone used a centre drill to start a hole...😉
Flippin' sweet
Thank you Scott!
You could use a trailer or implement tongue jack to fab your own tire vise me thinks.
Yes, it shouldn't be too hard to make a wheel vise, you just have to remember that the thread is left hand...
Great work Paul, the satisfaction and time spent crafting custom pieces in the shop is not easily explained to the many who would just order something for the cheapest price.. but that would be like the Bee trying to convince the fly that nectar tastes better than dung..
Peter, good point. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow, guess when you've got the know how, you use it, very nice. Side benefit, if you ever need to work on your car, I'm fairly certain this wouldn't have any issue holding it up 😀
After I heard Paul say "SKOOKUM" several times I kinda "got" what it meant, but then got to wondering if that was an actual word or some kind of slang local to his neighborhood, so I looked it up and here is what I found: "Skookum is a Chinook Jargon word that has historical use in the Pacific Northwest. It has a range of meanings, commonly associated with an English translation of "strong" or "monstrous". The word can mean "strong", "greatest", "powerful", "ultimate", or "brave". Wikipedia". I've been in every state in the Union, lived in a bunch of them, been all over the world, but I can't remember ever encountering that word-----I guess you learn something every day if you pay attention, huh? Oh, yeah....and pretty usable work stands, too!
Don, that's great you took the time to look it up. I'm not sure where I first heard it, but I am in the Pacific Northwest, so it makes sense. Thanks for watching and commenting.
A pleasure to watch your videos Paul, You do superb work and your shop is a credit to you. Mitch is pretty damned good too on that camera. I have a lot of bikes but am building up a BSA Bantam trials bike in between working 40 hours a week. Bryce in New Zealand
Bryce, good to hear from you🙂
Hey Paul down south we have things called pucks that are1/4" to 1/2" thick that we slide under the kick stand 3to4" in diameter to prevent indention into tar or the road
😅
David, I can see how you would call them Pucks. Makes me think of Hockey Pucks like we have up here in Canada, eh? Thanks for commenting!
@@paulbrodie love your show and your ability to fix any problems. If I weren't held to living on social security I would by you and Mitch many coffees.
Thanks David. We appreciate your support...
Hi Paul, that's a nice looking stand, thanks for the tutorial, I've been thinking I need a work stand for the GS1000, I'll send you some pics of my attempt. Cheers Wayne
Thank you Wayne. Yes, send photos of your stand.
I have to watch the video first but I just want to comment how awesome it is! I've just thought about building a stand myself so once again, this really comes handy.
"If I put a handmade motorcycle on top of a Chinese made stand, that's just wrong" Couldn't agree more. Better buy you a ☕ or two.
Thank you Valkman.
I got one of those princess auto lifts, extended it by welding the ramp onto the end to fit choppers - now its bespoke 💁♂
nice work Paul :)
That's crazy, I was just planning on building a stand for a project bike based on the stands at your shop.
Awesome job as always guys.
Timing is everything, they say. Thanks for watching!
@@paulbrodie For sure Paul.
Excellent work - now I can finish mine.......
Very nice! Thumbs up!
That looks great, nice design.
Thanks Ray.
Wow!
We thank you!
finaly! been waiting 😊👍
As always, a pleasure, and thank you. The stand came out beautifully.
In the comments on a previous video, we were discussing stuff that is hard to translate. Skookum probably fits that category. I always thought it just meant "good" - in your use, it sounds like it might mean "stout."
RE: tapping head collets -- they are Jacobs J-Flex collets. I like that long torque arm, I'll have to make one for my tapping head.
It's awesome to watch someone who can make a project even more complicated and more hefty-duty than I normally do. :)
BTW, I've decided to build another bike! Not sure I have the patience or skills to record the project, but I'll certainly take still photos. It will be an EGLI style chassis with a 4-cylinder motor, and a modern front end. I'll be hand-making an aluminum tank, and possibly other bodywork.
Thank you Alan. Yes, Skookum can mean strong or stout. Now I learned a new term: Jacobs J-flex collets. That's great you're embarking on another project. It's good to record progress even if it's only for personal satisfaction. Good luck!
Another phrase I like is “weapons grade” for something that is strong. It came from a story about a friend in uni years ago going into a local pub after seeing a sign for “granny’s weapons grade cider”. They only served it in half pints and only sold my mate 3 before saying they couldn’t serve him any thing else that night. He felt fine (as did his house mate) so they went to leave to go to a different pub. As soon as they had stood up and walked a few paces their legs stopped working. They then spent an hour getting back to the uni digs that was only a 5 minute walk. They said their heads and stomaches were fine but their body’s just wouldn’t do what they wanted.
So now we call anything overbuilt or strong “weapons grade” in tribute to that cider.
@@mopedmarathon I have not heard that story before. Sounds like Skookum stuff.
Yep ..sometimes a line must be drawn when things are "wrong".
Love your fabrication style. Build it to excess and you will never have to go back to beef it up later. I always say steel is cheap if you think you need to add more you probably do.
Maybe steel used to be cheap but it's not anymore... Thanks for watching :)
Hi Paul, Got your name from Ron Covels channel. Great project, simple but with a bit of style. Looking forward to your collaboration.
Hello Mr. Paul Brodie. I'm really impressed by your creativity, skills and knowledge. Your chanel is very interesting with lots of helpful information. Congratulations and thank you for sharing it with us.
Laszlo, thank you for watching our channel and commenting.
This is really good stuff Paul. I just tuned in for the first time and really enjoyed it! I have been into vintage motorcycles for a couple years and really enjoy the content! Frank
Thank you Frank. Are you FTW? I think you might be...
@@paulbrodie Yes and a big fan of your work!
@@frankwadelton9376 Great to meet you in the comment section! Maybe one day we'll sit down and drink coffee and talk about some stuff.
@@paulbrodie Agreed! We have a lot in common!
So much overkill in the way those castors are fitted but finished job so good and no doubt satisfying to complete. 🤪
Yes, overkill for sure, but I do like it, and it will never break.
Amazing work. I'd buy one or more.
Thank you Joseph.
Superb project 👍executed 👌
for tapping blind holes you should use a spiral flute tap , a spiral point tap is designed to push the swarf in front of the tap in a through hole ,
Yes, I explained all that in the video, and also stated that I did not have in my possession a 6mm spiral flute tap, so I would have to use my spiral point tap.. Switch up the volume!
Man, I was going through withdrawals waiting for a video. You are a true artist!
Withdrawals? I'm glad we were able to help you out with a "fix".
@@paulbrodie yessir, I just can’t get enough of your channel. Your content is so enjoyable to watch. So when uploads are more than 7 days apart, I start checking multiple times day. Kinda makes me feel like a drug addict. Haha.
Very nice project Paul, beautiful workmanship as usual. If you haven’t already done so, you should check out a guy by the name of Allen Millyyard. He has been building some fantastic bicycles the time of course. I believe you and he wouldn’t feel the time passing in conversation over a coffee, Love your channel. Warm Wishes. Martin.
P.S. great to see you back, hope you enjoyed the break.
Thank you Martin. Yes, I have been watching Allen Millyard. What he can do with a a hand hacksaw and a Tig welder is amazing!
Paul, great job and entertaining as always. Appreciate your squeezing everything into one episode.
Thank you Hertog.
@@paulbrodie Paul brodie i do like the Motorcycle 🏍 STAND you have made how was your time off and mich time off happy to hear both of you are back from Canada 🇨🇦 #YSW Domenico Monteleone
@@domenicomonteleone3055 My time off was good. I worked on my shop and got more organized :)
@@paulbrodie Paul brodie 💪 excellent work you had time 💯 off 💯 👏 💪 worked on the shop and did you go out and do anything else on your mini vacation I really like the Motorcycle 🏍 stand you have made thank you kindly 🙏 for responding back to me Domenico Monteleone what new work and ideas do you have to work on between the Motorcycles and the bicycles
@@domenicomonteleone3055 I went kayaking in Sechelt.
WOW!
Very skookum ironing board sir! May I suggest, since there are no longitudinals to the frame, that you replace the robertson screws with carriage bolts thru the full thickness of the plywood top. Eventually you may find that the rocking motion of the legs starts to strip the woodsrew threads. A V-brace from the outer leg corners to an inboard point on the longitudinal centerline would also go a long way toward triangulating each end.
Good comments. That stand is so strong I really don't feel additional bracing and stronger screws are necessary. It holds my Aermacchi up, but doesn't get moved around much at all.
That tap head you used on the mill is awesome. 👍 That rope around the back of the mill is not very elegant, just have two poles for the bar to ride against, one for forward and one for reverse. Enjoyed your video.
I was thinking Paul could make a small fixture that slides onto the handle of the tapping head with finger/bar that hooks the back of the vertical sliding bar on the mill.
Practical Panache👏🏼
Came out very nice!
Sadly the space in my shop is to limited, so i cant copy this stand.
Greetings
Sweet 😎✌
I love learning about these ways to save some money! I am going to my local fabricator right away to tell him to make me one and that you said it only costs 461$
Oops! I forgot to add in the cost of my labour...
Labor is free. That's what I tell my kids but I can be bribed best with coffee! Same as you Paul.
By the way , the tank turned out beautiful 😍
Thank you Herb.
Right from the get go , his pride and joy going on an over priced Chinese stand . I'm in brother.
Thumbs up .
Thanks Little Richo.
Great job, we really enjoyed watching you work almost as much as you enjoyed building the rig. Of course those who do not have the industrial machine tools in their garage and relevant skills may as well go and order the Chinese stand bad as this may be.
Hi Paul, If I may say, The bar that holds your tapping head from rotating in the clockwise direction when tapping. You have a stretch cord to hold it against the unwinding force. You could make a parallel retaining bar and slip the bar into it . Like a two tined fork. That way when you reverse it hits the parralel rod .
In the stand you made , how would you work on the front end of the bike if you needed to pull the wheel or the forks?
And I guess you wouldnt walk into the front wheel clamp more than twice. Ouch.
If I need to work on the front end, I would hold the rear wheel in the wheel vise. It's a little trickier to back the bike up onto the stand, but I have done it quite a few times. And yes, parallel bars for the tapping head would work too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
exellent workmanship and totally over engineered! but it looks so good, the wood needs replacing though with a nice thick laminated top, all in all top work old man!
Thank you Anthony.. I know I could have done it better on the top, but free plywood and stain is hard to beat. I will allow it to age with tire marks, oil spills (not leaks..) and dirt and one day I hope it will have a beautiful patina.
I found your channel just recently through your beltgrinder build. Your videos are very enjoyable to watch because of your calm and methodical way of explaining what you do and your obvious genuine joy of making things. Thanks for that! One side note: Your tapping head seems to have some parts missing. In the square opening above the collet holder where you put a bar through for tightening, should sit a small clamp much like a self-centering vise, which clamps the flats on the end of the tap. This clamp normally transfers all the torque and the rubberflex collet just needs to be tightened enough to center the tap and keep it from pulling out. There should also be a dog-point set screw in the hole through the wrench flats, which keeps the clamp itself from falling out whenever there is no tap mounted. Have a look at the Tapmatic tapping heads which are built much the same, at least on the bottom end.
Thank for finding our channel. Yes, I might have a few parts missing. I don't think I ever "lost" anything. When I finally get back into my shop I will take a look.
@@paulbrodie Hi Paul, I just read another comment of yours regarding the reason for your absence from the shop. I'm really sorry to hear this and hope you stay strong and make it through. Best wishes! Felix
@@Felix_Wiedemann Thanks Felix. Yes I am in hospital putting all of my energy into healing my body with the help of doctors, nurses, and a LOT of FB supporters. It really has been quite overwhelming and I am humbled and very grateful.
I think the satin black looks better than a high gloss. Those wheel vices are dangerous, easy to bend a brake rotor if the wheel stop gets bent and bike rolls too far forwards (was a problem with students not paying attention, 'floating' disc's would 'pop' the buttons)
Good thing I'm not "that" kind of a student anymore :)
You have some kool toys.
And I am thankful for the toys I have.
that`s what i call a bench 😇👍👍👍
Yes!!
I must be getting old.... got to the part where you were turning the aluminium caster plates and I couldn't remember what you were making! Turned out nice though - as usual.
That's funny! Good thing I remembered what I was making...
