“ are we gonna do more ?” Love it 😎
loosening the chuck while tapping in the lathe at 20:25 was so smooth i had to watch it a few times
Not the time to forget which way it goes :P
I’ve done this many times from the tutelage from many older Men.
How about changing the lathe speed to a lower rpm? And removing the wrist watch may be a good idea along with loose clothing like long sleeves. Not in this vid but in others. Nice work
Gravity sucks !
Good to see that some rules are still valid even for You 😉⚙🕴🏁
What a pleasure to watch you working 😊 🇬🇧
Thank you Alan.
Masterclass in fabrication and craftsmanship! Thank you Paul and Mitch!
Always nice to watch a master at work
Awesome. This build is an art project at this point. I love it.
My old Yamaha TZ350B (75) had a cable brake much like that. It was a really effective brake, but all the other racers laughed at me because disk brakes were cool. The drum was more free spinning than any disk, and was no heavier. I just noticed the Harley-Davidson on the ignition side cover. Since HD bought into Aermacchi in the 60s, the logo is no surprise.
BTW, a few years ago, Aermacchi ran ads during the Washington Nationals baseball games. They are still an active aerospace company, they were trying to sell their helicopter to replace Marine 1.
Yes you are right about early discs. They were not the greatest, but most racers wanted them. Myself included.
I wanna see you race that bike :D
I could literally watch you work all day. Fabulous engineering. Love all the saved templates. Great camera work from the eponymous Mitch.
Philip, thanks for commenting, and thanks for watching :)
Paul, you’re an artist. This Aermacchi is your sculpture.
One reason I love the Kromag so much, Paul, is that it was designed with both speed holed engine mounts, as well as a fuel tank who's mounts are graduated, dimpled, speed holes. ❤
Congradulations Mr. Paul
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very Nice vídeo
Thanks
Another half an hour with Paul and Mitch...Noice!
I love picking up awesome fabrication tricks from you Paul, It's always a good day when you can learn something new!
Once again, I watch and learn. I think I picked up at least 10 more TTPs that I cant wait to try. I couldnt help but notice the super sticky Avons you have fitted up. I have a set on my 1983 GPz550 that are spectacular!
Glen, good eye! Yes, they are old race tires now, but I do appreciate sticky rubber!
Inspirational as always. Thanks!
Even Paul is human - except if i dropped that cover it would be all marked up 👍👍😎👍👍. Another great episode.
Yes, I was very surprised it didn't get dented.
It’s heart breaking when that kind of stuff happens. Even worse if it’s something with paint or other coating on it. We’ve all been there though and probably not for the last time.
"Land of Aermacchi"....what a beautyful place to live in!
This will be a good neighbour to my country of Ducati! ;-)
Greetings
You make me laugh. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tasty music Mitch 👌
Guys you are a great team, love what you do in your shop.
Thank you Rosa. We do enjoy making videos! 😉
I have to do the same with my ducati head nut spanner 👍. Just not enough space. Got to love a special tool.
Another great episode 👍👌
Brilliant craftsmanship! As always.
One trick I’ve picked up for making splines is to use a scraped axel. Taper it slightly and cut some groves in it. There’s your broach.
Thanks for the closeups Mitch. ☺️
Mate you truly are an Artist in metal, I wish I had your machines! Bob
Thank you Bob!
The fantastic attention to detail really makes this project 👍
Beautiful work Mr Brodie.
Thank you Dell 🙂
A very interesting viewing . If engineering was an art form you nailed it . The pace is amazing it's a pleasure to sit back and watch it come together . The tapping of the parts using the drill press and lathe must really take experience and timing . The attention to detail is way higher than most of the other builders I've watched . Best of all is the age old usage of C.A.D. cardboard aided design..Thank you for sharing
Thank you Gary :)
Great attention to detail!
Thems the brakes. Nice work Paul.
Thanks Murray.
Nicely done and enjoyable to watch-Thank You ✅👍
Another excellent video!
Thank you David.
Looks like a fishtail brake adjuster, like a chopper exhaust😋
Enjoying this build.
So interesting to witness and thanks to Mitch for the fine video work. Back in the day, the Italian 250s were the creme de la creme. It looks like you have Oldani hubs on this project, what great brakes they were. Last one's I saw were on a new Mach 1 Ducati at Ghost Motorcycles, a large and famous dealer on L.I., N.Y.
I remember Ghost Motorcycles. They got a lot of press in the 60's motorcycle magazines. My brakes are not Oldanis, sorry. If you watch the brake videos you will see they are modified Hondas :) 450 and 350 models.
@@paulbrodie Thanks.
Nice work as usual Paul
Great details Paul.
Thank you.
A class act Paul 👌👌👌
Thank you Eric :)
Good timing!
whoo the devil is in the details, you manage well with the devil. It's made my day, congats :-)
Thank you Franc :)
The brake vs gravity break seemed down to Earth.
I loved the satisfaction in your face at 26:06 :-)
Loving your work and enjoy you used a NOS cable. Thanks guys.
as ever great video !!!!
Sure, sure: At about 24:00, Paul has to demonstrate his dexterity by casually flippin' that one brake shoe. There's NUTHIN' this guy doesn't do well...
I’m surprised acetal would be strong enough for the cable pivot in the drum lever. I’d worry about plastic deformation under load.
Well, we call it Delrin here; not sure if it is the same as acetal. Delrin is great stuff!
@@paulbrodie hey Paul Delrin is a brand name. It’s commonly known in the business as Delrin but this type of plastic is acetal. It’s like Kleenex and Frigidaire. Also like you often hear Lexan which is just a brand name for polycarbonate.
@@MaxPower_Designs OK I'm learning. Here it's always been Delrin and I've never heard it called anything else. I really like it for some applications.
I'm just waiting for you to start a series on replicating a Britten V1000 :D
John Britten is one of my heroes.
@@paulbrodie I used to cycle past his house (Britten Stables) every day for a few months without even realising....
One of his bikes is on display at a museum in a different part of the country. I tried to take a bunch of different photos of it, but it always came out looking like a model rather than a full size motorcycle.
A genuinely interesting character, I didn't realise his significance until 20 years or so after his death.
@@paulbrodie Likewise. I have a poster signed by a team member hanging in my office.
@@Metal-Possum The book, John Britten, by Tim Hanna, is a very good read. 496 pages.
I see a Parilla motor up there behind you (not this video). I’ve owned a Parilla thirty years or so - used to race it. Any chance of a video on your Parilla?
That Parilla motor on my shelf is empty. Nothing inside. I have never owned a Parilla motorcycle, never even ridden one, so it is going to be very hard to make a video on Parillas, sorry. But thanks for watching!
A wee tip, do u know that in metric threads one can deduct the pitch from the diameter in order to the core diameter of threads..as in M6 (which normally is X1) one drills 5mm , in the case of imperial , I translate the pitch ,I think 20tpi is around 1,25 , which I then deduct from the diameter.......just a wee tip.....
What about making a Reading Standard version of your Excelsior OHC? I love projects, hahahhaha. And more than that, a street version of either? I always wonder why I've never seen an 8 Valve Indian on the street. Too noisy? Indian did tho, put out a big valve streeter didn't they, and I just noticed last night that the JD Harley from the twenties has 2" valves just like a BV Indian. Thanks again for class, Paul in Thailand 1920 and 1917 Harley Street Racers....
Do you have any idea how much work it is to make a motorcycle out of nothing? On the Excelsior I have invested over $300K and still am waiting to break even after 17 years. I am retired with a UA-cam channel...
never knock '' another piece of cardboard ''
cardboard aided design is the future ,, Just call it CAD and everyone will be happy.
I agree.
I myself have this motorcycle
👍🏁
Godbless you sir
Hi Paul! What’s the story with the yellow firestorm/Superhawk?
I was set to insure it today, but got busy, so I hope to have it on the road tomorrow.
@@paulbrodie very cool. I’ve got one myself and was pleasantly surprised to see it in your video. They’re not all that popular but I’m a fan!
@@FernandoT8 Yes I have Yoshimura cans on mine and I just love the sound.. and the torque..
Paul I just subscribed to your Channel. I binged watched most of your bicycle videos. Can you recommend a frame repair shop in the southeast United States?
Robert, thanks for watching and subscribing. In the Eastern US, try Stephen Bilenky. If he's not taking on repairs he will point you in the right direction.
Everything he does is Beautiful.....even his bleedin Handwriting !! lol.
Thank you Moriwaki1105.
I may have missed this information in a previous video, but what's the deal with the Harley Davidson side cover?
Harley Davidson owned 1/2 of Aermacchi from 1960 to 1974. Interesting history!
compared to what i do in my shop i feel like a caveman watching you work...its like brain surgery
hi Paul and Mitch, great videos! Paul just wondering, when you use'd the tap to hold the work and machine the second tapper couldn't you use a bolt or threaded bar, chuck that and thread the work and tighten that with a nut?
Thank you. Yes, a threaded rod could be used instead of the tap, but it's an 8 X 1.0mm thread, and that's an uncommon size in my shop. That's why I used the tap!
@@paulbrodie yes that's true, thanks for the explanation.
Hi Paul. Can you show how you bent tubes some Day? Anyways love you channel❤️
Thank you Morten. For small bends, I use the arbor press with some dies. You can see that in the Romax seat stay video. For more complex bends, my friend has a CNC bender that cost a lot of money, so I get him to help me out. Thanks for watching!
@@paulbrodie thank you. Ive ordered a die bender now, so it will be fun to play with- hoping to make it work. I have long had a good idea for a framework project that is now to be made! inspired by you and others .. I have a workshop with manual ironworking machines, a little a la yours. And have made 1:1 templates of most of the components. however, I can only get 6060 aluminum and not 6061 unfortanetly. do you think it will be ok? it is a double tube frame, a bit like a mc frame and i want to make it in 30mm tube so 2x30mm tube put together. if you are interested, I would like to send you my drawing. Anyways thank you for the reply😊😊👌 i will send you and mitchel some coffe, and sorry for my bad english🤫
@@mortenrosentjorn1803 I see, you want to make a frame out of aluminum... In Canada here I have never heard of 6060. Making a frame out of 6000 series aluminum means you will likely have to Tig weld it, and then get it heat treated. Which can be expensive for one frame. Are you sure you don't want to make it out of steel?
@@paulbrodie thanks for your reply. I make my living by tig welding, and have my own business. despite the fact that I have no education, i have just taught myself everything- I do not have much sense of the various alloys before I examine its properties. yes I'm thinking of going with steel too, but again here, I had a hard time getting the right types. crmo4130 is impossible to get here at home. my steel dealer suggests s304 steel as best suggestion, it is seamless and maybe strong enough, but it is half heavy. the bike I want to make is one I will produce more of, if it gets good. I have the facilities for it, and really want to do it. after all, I live in the "land of bicycles", but bicycles are not really produced within the country's borders. previously for some years back, i have had my ovn bike shop too. well, I have to investigate some more. Thanks Paul!
@@mortenrosentjorn1803 Yes, if you are thinking of going into production, you are really going to have to do your research. 4130 really is the best tubing for a lot of applications, and something less may fail, and then you are into warranty work. Which means, working for free. If someone gets hurt on one of your bikes, that could be a lawsuit so be sure to get liability insurance, which probably is not cheap. I don't want to discourage you but the bicycle business is not an easy way to make money. But if bicycles are your passion, you will probably do it anyway... Good Luck!
Jeepers how many adds can UA-cam stuff in one show every 2 minutes really
What other things has your fussy-ness taken over?
My mind has gone blank...
