Glad to see you back, really liked your previous series of vids, I enjoy the mildly eccentric presentation style as well... Keep em coming..
It isn't a presentation style. I am just mildly eccentric lol!
Impressive and relaxing video. He is knowledgeable and chilled. Please keep posting.
A "how it's done" video is always a great watch. Thanks for sharing.
The joy of metal work, I have made a few of those and other components in my time.
Its great to see hand made parts
Brilliant work mate
I was watching some of the vids about recommissioning the BSA's, when I came across this excellent video showing pre, power tool forming, mud guards !!!
A short rendition of this should be sent with every invoice, so customers are more appreciative of the intense labor involved, compared to just stamping them out, which wouldn't be cheaper, just cheaply done !!! Nice job mate !!!
Nice to see hand made parts find it interesting rather then see them just pressed in shape 👍👍
Now that ain’t easy👌👌
Great your back, your videos, your style of presentation is funny and interesting.. keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one.. see you dreckly!!👍
Proper job bae! 😉
I love this video. Nice work! I must say I own an old Ducati V twin with full caff racer hand made alloy fairing ,tank, tail piece etc. Who made it and how I do not know,but she looks much like a 900ss. Quite eye catching!
Did anyone else get a Highschool metalwork flashback?
Nicely done. What gauge aluminum sheet do you normally use?
These are made in 2mm 1050 grade aluminium. We use other thicknesses and alloys for other jobs but this is a pretty common one.
1st view, 1st comment, woo hoo!😄
Did he say "dreaded walnuts"?
Yes. A cheeky colloquialism for the lumps left in the metal by the use of the mallet.
@@dtrpp3386 My my, I thought it was just my old ears. You really did say "dreaded walnuts."!
I dare anyone to take a drink every time he says ‘Umm’ or ‘err’. You may need hospital treatment 👀🧐😎😜
Ha! Thanks for pointing out I'm not a professional presenter!
To be fair the "ums" and "ers" need working on, probably along with a number of other things. Thing is though, it's a bit like the metal work itself. Sooner or later you've got to stop fettling, get the product out there and just try to do better next time.
@@dtrpp3386 Understood. These are the reasons I don’t do videos or public speaking.
Now, don't nitpick the man, I am from the states, speak excellent English, the way we do here, and the man is obviously is using our language as his second language ?
@@ronerie No
Yes but a joke
Are you friends with Evan Wilcox in California? He does this sort of thing in the US.
Don't know him but will look him up. Thanks for the tip 👍
What does DTR 850 N mean on your wall?
It's a leftover from some work we were doing for Nick Sharp's Guzzi (see other TCMC films). Nick wanted his seat modified to take a number plate and rear light mount. As part of the design process I quickly made up a cardboard mock up 'plate. DTR 850N is an invented registration number: "DTR" for obvious reasons, "850" as in Guzzi 850 Le Mans and "N" for Nick. Simples! 😄
@@dtrpp3386 Cheers I had a feeling the 850 might be an engine size. Thanks for the info.
