    That takes some polishing skill (HA - and stamina) to polish a frame like that. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

    I worked in a plating shop for about six months, back in 1976. This took me back to that short period when I got to see how something that would impact the last forty years working in the motorcycle industry. It was just like being 18 again. Thanks!

    Wow!What a fantastic looking Frame to begin with, then after it's nickel plated it looks incredible, like you said, it's definitely artistic beauty I would LOVE to see the finished motor!bike that this frame is destined to be!

    I own a 67 BSA Lighning that when I got it, it had a 1973 British Columbia(Canada)government safety inspection decal on the neck of the already chromed frame. I combined that with a true candy apple red paint job, it gets tons of attention!

    What a fantastic job on a beautifully made frame and cycle parts!
    That metal polisher is worth his weight in gold, that was a laborious task-how long did the polishing take?
    Brilliant informative video, I bet the owner of that frame was chuffed to bits….
    Wow!😳

      Glad you enjoyed it. The polishing took about 4 hours. Old ones take much longer!

    P.s. Are you guys still doing golf clubs as have tried to contact you about replating some putters but without any luck.

    What happens if you leave a part in the nickel plating tank for a way longer time? I am curious about that will it continue to get thicker? Will it get ugly? I like cause and effect type videos. You know "what if" type stuff. Its interesting to see experiment type stuff even if its a failure. Dont know if you would ever be interested in do some videos of experiment type but i would enjoy learning and seeing that type. UA-cam is a place where people do try and test things out that dont make sense to typically do. And those videos do tend to do well. Throw on a white lab coat make a fun video!

    Good job! Why didn't you put a layer of copper as you usually do?

    • @ChromeandCarRestoration
      @ChromeandCarRestoration  Рік тому +2

      Great point! the weather protection is from the nickel layer. Think of copper as doing the same thing in plating that a high build primer does in paint. Not needed on this job.

    Hi, love the no nonsense vid just wondering do you need to drill small holes in cross members to let any chemical drain out 🤔🏁

    • @ChromeandCarRestoration
      @ChromeandCarRestoration  Рік тому +1

      Great Question. No need on this job as the brazing was superb with no chance of pin holes. If it was not perfectly sealed you would have to drill holes

    What about hydrogen embrittlement?

    • @harrisonsmidt9511
      @harrisonsmidt9511 Рік тому +1

      There was absolutely no risk of hydrogen embrittlement on this job. It’s brand new steel and was not left in an acid bath for a long period of time.

    • @ChromeandCarRestoration
      @ChromeandCarRestoration  Рік тому

      Correct. No appreciable risk.
