Thanks for visiting my channel. I appreciate your precious time and support.
If I spend time in my Workshop, I feel peace and quietness, without worries and anxiety in a world that has gone crazy. My videos are meant to entertain and eventually make one calm down in order to forget about worries, at least for a little while. This is also why, I talk only very little within the movies to not disturb.
Building, modifying , constructing, restoring, inventing, maintaining and showing these things in the making. Some are just for the fun, others are useful and some are just added value to look at. Have fun!

Molding Grips
The actual condition of the hand grips required me to manufacture new once. I decided to go for molding. First I had to create a negative together with one of the original grips. After that, I was able to mold a set of grips that perfectly match the original shape. The actual grip is made with a shore A 40 hardness. This enabled a better deform due to the undercut.
It turned out great! Have fun and thanks for watching.

Cyclo SKIFF 1955 Disassembly #1
Переглядів 1,3 тис.28 днів тому
This Cyclo Skiff 1955 or "Holländer" , was the dream oft he kids. It was known as the sports car toy back in the time. Instead of pedalling, one had to row in order to move. There was no brake system beside applying a counteracting force on the row levers. The doctors back then already identified it as a most healthy body movement. This piece of beauty, was found on a flee market and bought for...
Complete Restoration of Iconic 1964 2 Stroke Bike
Переглядів 358 тис.Місяць тому
Everything comes to an end. I finally completed this in depth and complete Velosolex restoration. It took me roughly 9 months part time work to complete this 1964 Velosolex 3300 with a 3800 engine. The Velosolex was in a terrible condition and surely not what you would call a good basis for a restoration. I assume it has been forgotten in a creek. Along the way I generated many videos that show...
Assembling the Frame of 1965 Vintage Bike #12
Переглядів 3,2 тис.2 місяці тому
Here we go, closer and closer to completion of this Velosolex project. The Velosolex frame is up next. The frame was completely corroded and left behind somewhere in a creek. Within this movie, you see the build up until finishing up the bare frame. Most of the pieces were refurbished and put back in place. That had the big advantage, that all the pieces were fitting, instead of making repro pa...
FULL 2 Stroke Engine Disassemble and Rebuild until first Start
Переглядів 3,2 тис.2 місяці тому
Here we go, from the beginning until the end. This movie shows the complete disassemble and rebuild until first start of this Velo Solex engine 3800 from 1966. The movie is just around 25 minutes long and therefore I had to cut out many of the little details that really show the depth of the rebuild. However, there are separate movies in the playlist that show all these details including all th...
Complete 2 Stroke Engine Build until Fire up
Переглядів 169 тис.3 місяці тому
The rebuild of this early Velosolex 3800 engine from the sixties was a nice journey. Most of the pieces were refurbished to bring them back into place. Only the once that were broken or out of tolerance mainly due to the blocked engine had to be renewed. The engine was measured out to have original dimensions and performance. So, no racing engine here, just original. The disassembling of the en...
Fiberglass Repair with Vacuum
Переглядів 1,6 тис.3 місяці тому
The clutch housing of this velosolex engine 3800 has a hole from debris and dirt being ingested by the spinning wheel. To keep as much of original parts, I decided to repair it with fiberglass under vacuum processing and temperatur resistant resin, to make it durable and lasting again. Have fun watching it.
Paint Job done! (#11)
Переглядів 4143 місяці тому
Painting the velosolex is a long process, as the prework like blasting, primering, sanding and fillering is needed big time on some of the frame parts due to the corrosion traces that would be visible after the painting. Therefore some extra time was invested into these parts. The whole process is divided in 2 movies, one for the pieces that have been primed and painted wet in wet. The second m...
Brake System Rebuild
Переглядів 6654 місяці тому
The front brake system of this Velosolex 3300 from 1965 is a neat little mechanical installation. A whole new repro set costs little money. However, on this rebuild I went for 99% of its original substance to bring it back as original as possible. All the parts were glass bead blasted, the sheet metal pieces got a 2K epoxyd prime layer and painted in the original black RAL color afterwards. The...
Two Stroke Engine Surprise!
Переглядів 2,8 тис.4 місяці тому
On 2 stroke engines, there are normally ports (openings) within the cylinder walls to let the fuel mixture in and the exhaust gas out, other than on a 4 stroke engine where the valves cause the absence of these openings within the cylinders. The pistons and therefore the piston rings run over these ports while the piston moves up and down the cylinder. The piston rings travel inside the piston ...
How to get Bearings back in
Переглядів 9385 місяців тому
Getting bearings back in is not an act of coincidence. There are some measurements required to make sure the press fit will do the job just fine. Either we get the tolerances of oversize diameter out of the maintenance manual, or if these data are not available with precise information, we need to look it up in the tables. The bearing seat can be worn out over the years. If its minor, glue coul...

Jamais je n 'oublierai les beaux moments de ma vie ,avec ma moto Solex que javais dans les années 1970-80😃
Great restoration! I bought a second hand one as a teenager in Salisbury, Rhodesia (Harare, Zimbabwe). This was an inexpensive face saver (it was not a push bike!) as most of my other privileged peers were gifted cars or motorcycles when they turned 16. It was in the days of petrol rationing but the 2 coupons a month plenty for it's frugal consumption. It was pretty robust machine as I treated it fairly roughly. Removing the silencer made it go faster as the motor would otherwise want to cut out as the revs reached a certain point. Affectionately known by me as the " Very Slowlex" 😂 There was one sole importer who used to do assemble them and also do repairs and servicing.
Totally awesome job guys. Enjoyed every moment of this 👍👍
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it👍
