    That pug is the world's cutest shop supervisor ever. Cool seat. I need one for my bike, as my current seat feels like I'm getting a rectal probe by aliens.

    one of my favorite things in your videos is watching your face of satisfaction and how you are having fun while making the thing in turn. it always cheers me up and inspires me to also make things

    Truly gifted to have vision to see things in other objects . Then engineer the brace and suspension. Excellent.

    Impressed with the Bananaseat and how you integrated the bend in the board into your seat.but...I am in love with your sewing machine. Looking for that Bernina since years. HABEN,HABEN,HABEN. Thanks for the entertainment. Well done.

    love those old stylish seats, instead those new modern ones, which seams to crush your ball. i seem cant to find the old design or they arent available anymore. dont have the tools and your crafted creative gifted skill. over all, thank you for posting it here. loveit loveit.

  • @the_cheese
    @the_cheese 5 років тому +1

    This is an awesome, old-school banana seat! It looks like the seat's pivot point (at the truck articulation knuckle) adds a third way the bike bends while in motion

    friend of mine makes custom boat seating. He cuts the foam an inch or two longer than the wood, makes for a better edge when you tighten the material down.

    My suggestion is that you should paste some thin rubber material under plywood seat.On this way you will protect wood and seat textil cover from water.

    Using a grinder on foam....kind alike using a flame thrower to melt snow....both highly effective and satisfying. Nice approach to the problem!

    Das ist toll. Vor allem erinnert mich dein Video an mein erstes Fahrrad, Mitte der 1960er Jahre. Es war ein knallgelbes Bonanzarad mit Bananensattel. Die Schaltung war eine Dreigang, mit einem Schaltknüppel, der auf dem Rahmen moniert war. 😊👍

  • @ecalzo
    @ecalzo 5 років тому

    to cut the foam for building motorbike seats we usually use a chicken knife.. the alternating and motorized one.. the one designed for cutting bread actually with serrated edge blade ... it works very well on foam to build motorbike seats ... give it a try .. and to drill a clean big hole into wood drill it with the desired drill size but with piece of scrap wood underneath the wood for into you want the hole.. the drill will keep cutting trough the two layers od wood and you will end with a clean hole on the seat holder piece...
