It is wonderful to see you back online, telling your story, and updating us followers. What a terrific surprise!
Thank you :)
That is a harrowing pair of events . Good to see you up and about again . When you follow someone on YT , if they stop posting there is no way to find out what happened to them. It just becomes an unfinished story. Thanks for coming back .
@@romandybala hey Roman, your post is posted as a reply to my original post so, Paul might not see it. Perhaps you could delete it and post it into the main thread which would be immediately below the comment count at the top of the posts. I had a great visit with Paul yesterday, had a great chat and we took apart the a wheel to get at the 8" brake drum he needs for his cub. The only disappointing thing is Mitch wasn't there recording so, I'll missing my 15 minutes of YT fame . ;)
@@romandybala Yes, we came back, and thank you for watching! 😉
@@paulbrodie great to see you back... keep, well!
I can't express enough how good it is to see you back here Paul!
In 2020 I quit my job in the software industry and started taking machining classes. Today I work as a full-time machinist making aerospace parts, and loving every minute of it! This channel was a big influence and inspiration in my hanging a hard left on my career path. Thanks Paul!!!
This is amazing. I am a former mechanic - now a lawyer and I would love to go back to creating. 35 years in a Philadelphia law firm and I'm ready. Congrats on your pivot.
@@edgeorge785 Go for it! I spent 20 years in software and grew to hate it. My mental health is soooo much better now! It's never too late!
Software engineer?
@@edgeorge785 Hi Ed remember that Jay Leno was also once a mechanic and looking at him now well I guess we all see someone who is living the dream with all the special things he has in his toybox to play with.
But I believe that like Mike Muniz the Corolla guy when he leaves this Earth behind what he has saved and restored will be for all those left to wonder about and enjoy a he has preserved history for future generations to marvel at and find inspiration in what he has left as a legacy and what he has achieved is something to inspire others.
All that ever holds us back in truth is ourselves think on that and make wise choices life is meant to be enjoyed, Better to arrive at our final destination sideways with a Beer in one hand and a smoke between our teeeth saying Wow what a ride than arriving all sedate and always wondering what if Cheers
I’m 46 yrs old and have had a lot of teachers over the years and you Sir have been the most inspiring and your way of teaching just seems to soak into my thick skull. I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to share your hard earned skills and God given talents.
So Glad to have you and Mitch back!!!
Thank you Rick. Mitch and I are happy to be back, and making videos at a slightly slower pace 😉
Paul, I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but I have come to realize just how much I rely on your channel for education as well as entertainment. You were sorely missed (no pun intended). Welcome back sir, I hope the treatments have you back riding soon. Take care of yourself and thank you for everything you provide us in your community.
So great to see you Paul. Thanks for the story. 👍👍😊👍👍 You’re in good hands and the world is wishing you the quickest of recoveries. And thanks Mitch for all your support and efforts to get Paul’s story out there.
Yes, thank you Mitch.
Hello Mr. Brodie!
I'm a keen cyclist who started riding vintage drop bar bicycles for fun and exercise. I want to thank you for the opportunity you also gave people in other places of the world. In Sweden, there is no one with similar experiences as you have building bicycles. It is a dead profession. In my master's thesis project at Lund University, I designed and built a bicycle using much of your content on UA-cam. I found a man in the area, a soulmate, 50 years apart. His name is Johnny, and he sold much of the cycling parts through a shop in the 1980s, also tubing. He helped me understand and regulate the Acetylene/Oxygen torch (which is frightening for a beginner). He never worked with fillet brazing, but he showed me that it is possible to work without an automatic flux machine (maybe harder though). Identifying the right filler materials from Swedish suppliers was probably worth a few university credits. I milled my own dropouts and built tools and jigs for raking fork blades and brazing the frame. The bicycle turned out very nice, and I have used it every day riding to and from work at a large bicycle company where I was offered a job. My friend, who helped me start the torch also fights cancer, leukemia, and I am very grateful I took the opportunity to learn some of these skills before they are gone. Thank you Mr. Brodie for providing me with the information I needed to build my bike. Without your videos, I would not have managed. And, what an amazing feeling it is to ride your own bike. Get Well Soon/Martin
I am a 65y.o. hobbyist bicycle framebuilder, who greatly benefited from your outstanding videos on framebuilding. And I want to thank you for this.
I am so sorry for your health issue. I heartily wish you the best of luck and a swift recovery.
Mauro, thank you very much!
Great to see you back mate! Thoughts and strength to you!!
Much appreciated
I missed you Paul! I'm so happy you're feeling better and here to tell us all your stories.
Thanks Benny.
The world needs more people like you. Best wishes and speedy recovery.

Ricky, thanks for watching and commenting. I'm sure you have many stories to tell. All the best! :)
Welcome back guys. Missed you big time. I'll make it short. My dad the same type of cancer stage 4 ,about 10 or so years ago. Hes doing well to this day.. So hang in there.. your health is 1st priority . Dont let this videos effect your well being . Freaking love you guys
Thanks Robert. Appreciate your comments.
Welcome back Mr. Brodie. It’s great to see you back! You were missed.
Hey, thanks! It's good to be back.
Hey Mr. Brodie. Very happy you are out of the hospital and are doing better. I have been following your engine build from a black and white photo. I have never saw a more intelligent resourceful engineer. You are a master craftsman. Your work is beyond incredible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and smarts. Continue to get better sir.
Thank you Gregory. Very nice words! Appreciate it very much...
Stay strong…we are going through cancer now with my wife…it is a long process but you can make it through…we are all behind you…you have touched more people than you can possibly imagine and have a legacy that spans generations…thank you and I’ll see you on the trails!…
Thank you Jason. Yes, I do feel all the support and I am grateful for it.
It's wonderful to see you back, Paul. You are a true gentleman, and Mitch is a wonderful person and a great friend, we can all hear that in your voice. I can feel a recovery project coming on sometime next year! Keep strong, and know there's a whole lot of people out here on your side.
51 seconds in and we are thrilled you're back. You've beeen missed in this household and we all send the the best of wishes!
Who would watch a 65-year-old making stuff? A 72-year-old who loves to make stuff, and loves to learn, even more. I did love your videos before, Paul, I will enjoy them even more now. Wishing you all the best from France.
I'm sure you realize how many friends you have out here that you've never met! I'm working on so many motorcycles, and found this channel to be extremely motivating. You have the only gearhead channel, (hats off to Mitch too), that my wife will actually watch and enjoy with me. Why? Your an excellent teacher who leaves out all the false drama, and doesn't hesitate to show errors when made. I went so far, as to buy a Triumph Cub, to follow along with you! So happy you are back, and on the road to recovery!! Be well!!
Thank you very much! Appreciate your comments for sure. I get my second Cub in the spring, and plan on starting Tiger Cub Number Two shortly after that. All the best! 😉
❤ glad to see you again Paul. Thank you Mitch for being there ❤
So happy to see you back Mr. Brodie, you've been in all our thoughts!
My Farther died from bonecancer, he retired at 62 then build his dream bike.
A Tri-Ton Triumph/Norton hybrid. Shortly after finishing the build, he hit a pothole and wrecked it.
He pushed it home (5km.) then he sat down a wasn't able to get up again, shortly after he was taken hospital got scanned and diagnosed.
He didn't make much longer, so I really hope you do make it.
As they say,- if you come of the bike, you have to get back on it right away!
Salute Mr. Brodie.
Paul, glad to see you back in front of the camera. We plan on seeing you here for quite a while. Praying for a speedy recovery.
Thank you :)
Paul and Mitch - so happy to see you back in the saddle, so to speak! What a ride you've been on. I hope your chemo is tolerable and totally successful! You're well experienced with traumatic stuff, so I'm thinking that your spirit will be a major factor in your healing. I continue to root for you, Paul, and many thanks to Mitch for the support he's giving you!
All the best, my friend!
Wonderful news, Paul. You've been in probably one of the biggest and hardest battles one can fight during his/her life and you made it through. I've been very fortunate to get to see you and your life through UA-cam and you've taught me so much on things not just related to fabricating but life in general. Forever grateful for that. Hope you're up for few cups of coffee 👍
Wishing you a quick and full recovery. I am always impressed by your craftsmanship and ingenuity.
Thank you very much!
Paul, thank you for the entertainment you've given me. I wish you a speedy recovery. I love what you do and I could watch your channel for hours on end. I am 50 yrs old and I swear I'm going to be a craftsman/ fabricator someday.
Thank you Mike. Best time to start being a fabricator is today!
So thrilled to see you back! I hope your recovery is quick. You’re a huge inspiration to so many people, myself included.
I could listen to his voice for hours …
Thanks to both of you for bringing back the stories from life & shop.
It’s a privilege to tune in again.
My husband and I are so glad you share you mechanical insites. A real blessing for us. Get well, you are a treasure.....
This story gave me a flashback. A long long long time ago I had a jamming throttle on my souped up moped, a Puch Maxi, while I was driving on the road, just before a sharp corner. I didn't make the corner, but luckily for me I just missed some trees and some barbwire, and I ended up in a dry ditch that was overgrown with vegetation, which gave me a relative soft landing, and I was unharmed, I didn't have a single scratch. But it was very scary. And although the speed was not absurdly fast, it was still fast enough to get seriously hurt if I weren't so lucky that day. An old schoolmate of me lost his leg due to a moped accident. My moped on the other hand wasn't so lucky, but some guys who were driving behind me loaded up my moped and they brought me home. I am glad to see that you are okay and that you lived to tell the story. 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. We do have to be careful on our two wheeled contraptions.
Hope you're feeling much better, Paul, great to see you back
Welcome back Paul and Mitch. You guys always got a great story to tell, it’s always from the heart. Thank you.
Pithy Bikes! Good to hear from you. Thanks for watching.
So sorry to hear that you have been ill Paul, I have really missed your intelligent teaching. Here's hoping for your speedy recovery.
Thanks Colin.
Paul I will be praying for you to be totally healed. I really enjoy the work you have done. It was always a pleasure to see you and Mitch working together in your shop. Kind thoughts to both of you!
Thank you Chris. Appreciate your comments!
Ayyyye you’re a legend Paul. Missed you and Mitch I’m glad to hear stories from you again.
One of my very fav channels. In my tiny shop, to "Brodie" something means to make it (in my case with little skill or success) but it's creators like Paul and Mitch that give me the confidence to give it a try. It's an inspiring channel for several reasons. Delighted you guys are back and we'll be here whenever you can put out some more awesome content.
Your channel has that special ingredient, the life stories, that is missing in a sea of unboxing videos on UA-cam. Any additional tech tips you impart are just the icing on a very rich cake! Thanks.
Thank you Stephen. Very nice comments!
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2001 and I didn't think I would still be alive in 2022 but here I am. I takes a long time to rebuild your body. I wasn't myself for about 2 years. Now at 70 I feel great. So just keep plugging along and focus on the things you love to do. Remember to keep your stick on the ice.😊
I´m really glad that you´re back and doing well Mr. Brodie! Best wishes!!
Not gonna lie, my heart leapt a little to see a new video from you guys. So glad to see you back! Take it easy, get better, and do what you’ve got to do! Your fans will be here waiting for you and wishing you well.
Thank you very much!
Fork surgery went well but just waiting on cables to finish building the bike. Your video made the fork surgery possible! Couldnt have done it without you! Super glad you are back in the shop. Sip the coffee slowly, enjoy, and we will try and send you more!
Thanks James. Good to hear that fork surgery went well.
So great to see you again. When you called me the end of April to wish me a happy birthday, I had no idea what you were going through. I always considered you a mentor and it pained me to see you going through something like this. My own "motorcycle from scratch" project has been on hold out of respect and now I will get back to it to honor your resilience and determination. All the best to you and Mitch. I hope we see more of you two soon.
Great news to see you back Paul!!!
Hi Paul, it’s so great to see you again, and I hope that your health goes from strength to strength. Thanks so much for sharing the story and your great friendship with Mitch and Eve. It was very touching. I’ve missed your videos, and glad that you are doing OK. Very best wishes
Thank you very much! 😉
Outstanding shipmates. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. My dad restored two 1935 Indian Scouts. He is gone off to Heaven now. My brother has both bikes up in Austin Texas now. So watching your video takes me back in time. Yes my dad use to race flat track in Houston Texas and ells where too. What i am trying to say is thankyou for what you and your team do. Carry on sailor.
Wonderful to see you back! Your presence was really missed.
Wow what a story my friend! Glad to see you back, I knew that something was wrong and my first thought was medical problems had stopped you. Hope everything works out for the best for you and your health and hope you get feeling much better soon! Thanks for sharing your story, we all love your channel and it's great content, one of the best on UA-cam in my opinion. Give a special thanks to Mitch for all his help and support.
In the past few months I have learned what it is like to be incapacitated, and derailed by health issues. I know how hard it is to feel ill and focus on creating and doing. Thank you for your great content and here's wishing you a full recovery.
Thank you JR. Yes, life can deal us some curve balls, so we have to take what comes and hopefully, remain positive. Not always easy. Thanks for your support.
@@paulbrodie Thank you for what you do.
So glad to see you back. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.
You are so welcome!
The Mitch face reveal! Love it
Yes, Finally!!!
Great to see your still up for making videos. The care and skill you put into your work transfers through to your viewers and is not lost on us. Wishing you a successful recovery.
Hey Paul, lovely to see you. I love your story and just wanted to say, I am a bowel cancer survivor so I understand what you are going through and I wish you all the luck in the world and hopefully one day it will all just be a memory. Bob. UK
Thank you Bob. All the best!
Mitch I'd like to say thank you for bringing Paul's knowledge to the public. Paul, thank you for being a great teacher.
So glad to see you back. Regardless of what you might think, you have been an inspiration to many of us since the blog days. You’ve taught us that the machine doesn’t know or care who makes the part as long as it’s done right and has “a good fit”. This keeps many striving for better and better results. That a legacy! Praying for you during this process as we know it will not be easy. Though virtually a stranger, you are valued!
It's wonderful to have you back and learn about your "get to the choppa" moment
So happy to watch you back Paul ! You were like a missing friend. Sincerely.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Paul.
Your channel the best on UA-cam. The content Mitch and yourself create kept us going during various lock downs here in the UK.
Wishing you all the very best for the future.
Thank you very much!
The exitement I felt when I saw this video while procrastinating homework was absolutly tremendous. Glad to see you back in action, and wishing you get better soon! Cheers.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely wonderful to see you and Mitch back Mr Brodie, all the best with your recovery 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Absolutely great to see you back and recording videos.. thank you.. thank you ..
Thank you. More videos soon.
i was actually headed out the door to go to dinner with my 3 son's when I seen you had posted a video, it was a sudden "hey boyx, dinner can wait we gotta watch Paul Brodie" and as each one walked back in the house they asked "isn't this the bike builder you had on your show?" we laughed and yeah we all sat down and watched this, video. amazing stuff, an as always you tell a story in such a way you just can't stop listening, the boys' and I have each added you to our prayer list, you take tjhe time to heal, we will be waiting for your amazing videos and the lessons we learn from them. so remember, you are not just teaching a few students in Canada you are teaching the world, and I can't think of a better teacher.
I’m so glad you’re doing well and back in front of the camera. It was very interesting to hear your story on how you and Mitch created this partnership! Your videos are very inspiring and I really look forward to your channel. We are all so lucky you are willing to share your life with the world and also lucky Mitch came along with his iPhone 11 to be able to capture it. I hope your treatments go well and will be thinking of you as you work your way through to full recovery.
Thank you Paul and Mitch. Be well.
Jake, thanks for watching and commenting.
“But we were keen.” That’s always the start of something good. Prayers for your continued recovery.
Art (gorgeous motorcycles included :P) is how we decorate a place, great stories and music are how we decorate time. Thought i was gonna hop in, skip to the good bits, and move on to see how the channel is going- you made that whole 24 minutes pass seemingly in the 2 minutes i came for, you're a great story teller and teacher. Great stuff man, hope you get healthy soon.
Thank you very much. Appreciate your comments.
Great to see you back in action, Paul!
Prayers your way Paul. Praying for a speedy recovery. Mitch, thank you for being there for Paul!
Mitch and I are a very good team. Thanks for watching.
You're an absolute gem, Paul. Hang in there and keep kicking ass.
Thank you Leo. Very nice comment! 😉
Been watching for some time, but first time commenting. I had been considering taking your framebuilding class some years ago, but being in Ontario, I could never justify the full expense to myself. Watching your videos makes me regret not doing so, becuase the opportunity to learn under such an incredibly knowledgeable, but also obviously warm and kind individual would truly have been an amazing experience. But watching your videos has brought me a great deal of happiness and excitement, because you also cover my other passion, motorcycles. I'm glad you're back, and I wish you a fast recovery. Thank-you for this gift you've given all of us.
Thank you, Corey. Very nice comments! I don't teach Framebuilding 101 anymore, but that was great while it lasted. All the best to you :)
Hi Paul! It’s great to see you in your happy place. Best of luck with your recovery ❤
It is so good to see you guys back, and back at it. You have been dearly missed. I loved the story of The Excelsiors, a bit of your history, and how this channel came to be. The Three Amigos---- priceless. My two best friends for the past 40 years, we were always referred to as The Three Amigos. Until this past June, when one of them was tragically killed on his motorcycle, in Ashland Kentucky when a deer ran out in front of him in the middle of the day. You are looking great, and you are in my prayers sir. Seeing you back is like reconnecting with an old friend. All the best Paul (and Mitch).
Get well soon Paul. I love your channel. We are the same age and I have a big, interest in motor bikes that I never really fulfilled. I do though through you. Barney Neill
Thanks Barney. All the best...
It sure made my day when I heard that UA-cam bell ring, i click the mouse & there was a new long awaited Paul Brodie episode..At the moment my face, shoulder, neck and forearms are covered in gauze and tape after being under the surgical knife again for skin cancer. Being a 70 year old sun sensitive redhead who has lived & worked outdoors & ridden bikes all my life I guess it was somewhat expected) A multi year long procedure that started in 2018 & after 30 successful major & minor skin removal surgeries, everything had to be put on hold when Covid hit in 2020. Anyway it looks like this whole winter & maybe into spring will be dedicated to getting my skin sliced and diced all over again. So happy to see Paul & Mitch checking in with an update, & Hope all the best for Paul's treatment & a full recovery, This channel has helped me fill many of those long voids of idle healing time, Paul sharing his knowledge, humble expertise & engaging in a nice variety of interesting projects & builds. The Triumph Cub build is dear to my heart, being my very 1st & memorable motorcycle back in the mid 60's. I've had a many bikes since , from Old Knucklehead Harley to Honda 90's & early Goldwings to the mighty Hayabusa which was my last Liter+ bike ending my 50+ years of road riding. I always had a passion for earlier & vintage machines The Triumph Cub always stood out in my mind as the most enjoyable riding and sounding bike I ever experienced & owned, and the only bike I wish I still had.. So Pauls excellent refit and refresh of the old Triumph Cub has had me inspired to no end. Again all the best for a full recovery & as always look forward to enjoying evermore of this fine channel.
Fantastic to see you back in the saddle Paul. Always a pleasure to hear your stories and see your work. A good day indeed.
First off welcome back Paul we have all missed you , What an incredible story dude you certainly don't do things by half .
I wish you a speedy recovery mate and look forward to watching more video's to come have a good day from sunny Thailand 😎😎👍👍👍👍

Hey Paul, so glad you shared your story!
I'm a cancer survivor myself (bowel cancer) and so is my father.
Glad to see that you are receiving the help you need and I wish you all the very best for your journey through the treatment.
Everyone's trip down this road is different, but it sounds like you are staying on course and have the destination in mind.
Safe travels from Australia
