"It takes nothing to join the crowd. It takes everything to stand alone." (Hans F Hansen) Who wants to see the same old stuff regurgitated - really creative stuff - keep at it Matt! Thanks as always for sharing!
Don't worry about camera angles, man. I'm just grateful you're taking the time to educate me. These videos are top drawer. Nothing beats watching a skilled craftsperson at work.
This bike will be very different , you have mastered the plas already . i like the make it up as you go along method , i do it all the time , i have to see it and look and change things as you did. great job and wishing you luck with the hours of grinding the plasma cut edges off . Cheers Ade.
I love the idea, it showcases the owners equipment business, and there isn't likely to be anything around quite like it. Why build what everyone else does, break the mold and Urchfab it.🤙
You have the talent of Collin Furze, probably more, try not to focus on the negatives Matty. We all have negative things going on in our lives, it's people like you, producing entertaining content for us all that makes life better. Wake up one morning and go, frac I'm awesome, embrace it man. Who actually cares if there's a nice tool box in the background? F all I'd suggest.
Looks really good. All that flat sheet metall give a feeling of the old danish Nimbus bikes that had a frame made from flat stock. They look really cool when costumized.
I just love how you engineer the key and slots. Great update as usual. Keep up the great work. How about an update on how your channel is going. Is it still growing and looking like it will be able to support your family? Love your content.
A big white panel behind the frame would help. Shock absorber for the seat? Lots of seat padding is a good idea, realized when you are 60 years old and your back hurts when getting out of bed in the morning.
Wasnt too sure at first about the design, but I love it now. Reminds me of the icons of Victorian engineering, like the Forth Rail Bridge, Trevithicks Puffing Devil and all of the great IKBs projects.
I think the (mortise and tenon) way of fitting it together is a genuine and creative idea! Also had a laugh or two when it dropped pieces during set up. Probably your fab is my favorite thing but you also get great end results! Cheers until the next one. 👍
JEEZ! this channel doesn't have half as many subs as it should! the details of the fitment are pure engineering genius! . BTW, i hope you are doing cashflow work too,not just your own projects.
Don’t know what you’ve planned for seat mounts but for some reason I recon a cantilevered piece of flat spring steel bent up from the main hoop to hang over the back wheel would be rad. Loving this build going to be a crazy ride in the end.
Love your Fabrication skills, you are doing something I have also thought about doing, personally I would have gone with a thinner plate and box it so it doesn't look to heavy. I would change the front down plate so it curves (flows) towards the bottom of the Motor. Plate assembly under Motor just doesn't look right. Hey but if you were to take every bodies recommendations you would never get finished. Keep going Bud, I know its gonna be awesome. Oh and slots look soooo much better than round holes.
This thing is shaping up to be a visually interesting design. It'll be like nothing else I've ever seen. Very industrial looking. A bit like the structure of an old railroad bridge. The word "beefy" will be inadequate as a descriptor. Cool. Okay, it'll probably be quite heavy, but such are the sacrifices one must make for one's art. I wonder if the design could be replicated in, say, aluminium [or aluminum for those who prefer the Yankee alternative] to reduce the weight without compromising strength too much.
Looking at the headstock rake and the front frame down rail I don't see how your front wheel is going to fit. Don't forget that you will need to measure the wheel clearence on full suspension compression.
I'm still watching with interest and waiting to see how it comes out. There are things I don't agree with, but appreciate it's your vision, thanks Matt.
*FYI, Matt* : the guide/locating rails for the cutting-head on your plasma cutter - the point where the bearings make contact look dirty or scored. Maybe worth an inspection? Really enjoy your work, thanks.
I'd guess you explained why, but I'm really struggling to look at that super high back bone. That said, I've learned not to judge a work in progress. Can't wait to see this unfold.
I think the tank will sit over it and hang down to just above the cylinder head...I am sure he mentioned it in the last video when he said he didn't like the holes in the frame.
Like a glove springs to mind right away almost like I heard you say it lol. Frame looking bloody good can't wait to see the tank. I wonder how many litres it will hold llf 👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁✌️
Yeah, good improvement on the slots. Get this all put together, then repeat it in aluminium. What do you reckon this is going to weigh in at? You might need a bigger engine!
I'm seeing Steampunk so far. Not a bad thing but your going to need some curves from that Plasma cutter. Still love it keep up the good work and will be watching till the end.
Just curious... How is the rear suspension going to work if the frame that holds the rear wheel is rigid? Or should I just wait for the next episode for the answer? Well done so far. This bike is going to be unique. 👌
I'm really starting to feel this one, being more of a bike guy myself. Lemme just kinda throw this out there and see if you take a swing at it: Here in the states, Portland, OR to be exact, we have an annual bike and art show called The One Motoshow (Google it) every February. It's steadily becoming a Big Deal. This is exactly the kind of build that would blow their skirts up. Just a thought...
Them cut outs are definitely better than the holes 👍
Larger radius would be better ....

Those cut outs look much better than the holes. Great work, looking forward to the next update.
Hope this ugly duckling blossoms into a beautiful swan, not my style but huge appreciation for the fabrication skills.
Urchfab Engineering and Fabrication. Well done Matt. ❤ the channel.
You've taken this channel to another level with your CNC machine. Very creative.
This bike will be very different , you have mastered the plas already . i like the make it up as you go along method , i do it all the time , i have to see it and look and change things as you did. great job and wishing you luck with the hours of grinding the plasma cut edges off . Cheers Ade.
Finally convinced I have to buy a extreme plasma !!!!
I love the idea, it showcases the owners equipment business, and there isn't likely to be anything around quite like it. Why build what everyone else does, break the mold and Urchfab it.🤙
Matt, Great build and looking forward to seeing the final product, I could watch the plasma cutting table for hours,
Cheers Dave
It's steam punk, 19th century bridge, futuristic and more things. It will be, as you say, like nothing else. Amazing. Cheers
Amazing. Fun to watch. Blown away by the design too.
You have the talent of Collin Furze, probably more, try not to focus on the negatives Matty.

Wake up one morning and go, frac I'm awesome, embrace it man.
Who actually cares if there's a nice tool box in the background?
F all I'd suggest.
that plasma table certainly turns out some outstanding work.....its looking awesome
Very interesting design and build technique Matt. I could watch your fabrication skills all day if I didn't have my own work to do!
Looks really good. All that flat sheet metall give a feeling of the old danish Nimbus bikes that had a frame made from flat stock.
They look really cool when costumized.
I’ve heard of flat track bikes but never flat bar bikes. Cool idea. Looks good.
Cheers.
I’ve just found your channel,I really like your ideas about frame design and I’m looking forward to catching up with the progress.
Again I watch and wonder how it will come together and bang, there it is! Great stuff.
Your engineering and fab skills are amazing 😊
I like the new frame design way better. It is also a lot lighter with the bigger cutouts.
I just love how you engineer the key and slots. Great update as usual.
Keep up the great work.
How about an update on how your channel is going. Is it still growing and looking like it will be able to support your family?
Love your content.
Cheers, at this point its not but hopefully one day.

Always preparing a milky sugary tea for the new video from Urchfab ..
Great stuff 👍

The slotted frame is wayyyyy better looking!
looking good / yeh frame looks better than last one
Frame design is sooo much better!
Very clever, i'm impressed. 🅰🆆🅴🆂🅾🅼🅴
Excellent work today..
JohnathanW was building a sheet metal frame bike. Cool that you are doing the same across the pond.
I will look that up. Cheers
Thinking out of the box...... and ending up with a kind of box... LOL! Like it
I have to admit that i have stopped watching your videos until i seen that fram on that bike it looks hard
Don’t know what you’ve planned for seat mounts but for some reason I recon a cantilevered piece of flat spring steel bent up from the main hoop to hang over the back wheel would be rad. Loving this build going to be a crazy ride in the end.
I like it can’t wait to see it finished 👍🏻🇺🇸

It's looking good. Great job.. Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱

I mentioned that in the last video.... and the oil filter looks like a bit of a job to get off too.!!
I'm still watching with interest and waiting to see how it comes out. There are things I don't agree with, but appreciate it's your vision, thanks Matt.
Awesome fabrication work Matt, it’s going to be strong that’s for sure!
and heavy
Sneaky Sierra Peek 😘
Love a retro ford especially a sierra
Trying to get my sierra estate in order on a budget lol
But they all need saving
The boys from bad obsession have got nothing on you Matt 😎 Love it
Haha, Yeah I am inclined to almost agree with you. They should have a build off maybe... None the less, I love both channels
@@moegamad All build channels have Merritt.
Coz everyone of em does it there way according to there minds vision😉🙂👍👍
@Steve Veness 100%
I'd check the rear sprocket and chain for clearance matt 👍🤞😎
Great job. Nice that you deviate from standard.
Much better with the revised cut outs,gives it a lighter look.
*FYI, Matt* : the guide/locating rails for the cutting-head on your plasma cutter - the point where the bearings make contact look dirty or scored. Maybe worth an inspection?
Really enjoy your work, thanks.
Yeh she is due a service to be honest.
I like this idea a lot, very industrial girder looking, not too keen on the tray under the engine though.....might look better once finished
I've said it before, but the sheer weight ! will need 80 psi in the tyres to cope, looks awesome that said
Which in a hardtail is the last thing you want!. Good job it's just for show.
Great built Matt, but 6mm steel ??? Could end up being the golden gate jamaha?
I'd guess you explained why, but I'm really struggling to look at that super high back bone. That said, I've learned not to judge a work in progress. Can't wait to see this unfold.
I think the tank will sit over it and hang down to just above the cylinder head...I am sure he mentioned it in the last video when he said he didn't like the holes in the frame.
Think hes going for the L.A Lane splitter look. (touch of Steam Punk in there)
I love that frame it looks wicked, where's the next video? I like how you show what you do an you have some cool skills
I wasn't sure on the slots, but actually they look OK. It's a different look than the holes, but it still works.
yep.. its looking very futuristic , major motorbike companys will want to buy the frame design lol
Like a glove springs to mind right away almost like I heard you say it lol. Frame looking bloody good can't wait to see the tank. I wonder how many litres it will hold llf
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁✌️
Slots way better than holes, lighter too. Did you reuse the pieces with holes or are they totally new?
Yep like the slots, will be weight saving quite unique, is the tank going to hang underneath top rail?
Much better than holes 💯👍🏻
Looks like it is going to be Hell for stout.
Its a sick design
Hi Matt Could you rig up a white sheet behind for the filming ?
Loving the rework!
I want a plasma table! I don't know what for, but I want one. I take back what I said about holes with corners, the new design looks much better.
Looks great.
Are you going to put some sort of suspension to the back end?
How will the rear suspension work? Where’s the pivot points?
how you are going to change oils with this bottom part. taking motor out???
Nice, looking good....
cant wait to see all done going to be awesome
This is brill
Brunel ?
Yeah, good improvement on the slots. Get this all put together, then repeat it in aluminium. What do you reckon this is going to weigh in at? You might need a bigger engine!
Looking Awesome!
When did you get the jelly mould? Did I miss a new project vid or is it a customer car?
Hi, have you thought that all those horizontal flat areas are going to hold water road dirt etc?
Its never gonna see rain or road dirt.
The cut outs look so better than the holes and only just watched first seconds
Looks great mate. It will be able to survive a direct hit from a friggin nuke too
I'm seeing Steampunk so far. Not a bad thing but your going to need some curves from that Plasma cutter. Still love it keep up the good work and will be watching till the end.
As others have mentioned, I’d check for front wheel clearance, it looks like it might be tight.
Is the rear arms going to be floating with shocks?
hi you could use a white sheet pulled tight in a frame for the background .
The fabrication looks good, hope it doesn't end up feeling like driving a digger bucket .
Very nice work sir , to bad it's not an evo engine going in there
No rear suspension?
Put that plasma cutter to work and build an english wheel, next form some bodywork to cover that industrial looking frame
Matt, I noticed you haven't any water in the Plasma's tray. Why is that?
hi nice frame.looking good
Brunel would love this Bike 😂
Just curious... How is the rear suspension going to work if the frame that holds the rear wheel is rigid? Or should I just wait for the next episode for the answer? Well done so far. This bike is going to be unique. 👌
Will the front wheel be okay? With the straight frame in front?
Apologies if it was mentioned or answered but have no time to watch fully just now. What steel do you use?
"To make this rear section really strong"
It's already a bazillion times stronger than necessary!
All dishes dirty, quickly purchased 3 mugs for the tea
Awesome 👍🏾
Looks rather steampunk 😎😎
And I second this comment to lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁✌️
