    Absolutely show your mini bike endeavors. I don’t really have an interest in racing myself, but I enjoy watching people attempt to solve mechanical problems

    Between you and 2StrokeStuffing, I'm learning a _lot._
    One of the things I'm learning is that I _really_ want a mill. I could modernize a _lot_ of parts in in my 48 Willys CJ2L

      Thank you, once you get yourself a mill you’ll start to realise you can make almost anything.
      My only advice would be to get the biggest one you can fit in your workshop that’s within your budget.

    1:57 Dude I’m loving your videos! I’d totally like to see you going out and racing your mini bikes. It would be cool to see one from the start of its fabrication to racing it. I’m especially curious about the ins and outs of making the frame, thinking I’d like to start to build one myself.

      I’ll be making another video soon of welding up a frame from start to finish

      the other issue is most people seem to have no grasp of basic physics or mechanical basics... content with watching footy, thinking of sex, and food... what a dull existence some people lead...

    Haha awesome video.
    I find the explaining at the end could have been done as an overlay while you were showing the machining?
    What’s the mill! It looks awesome.

      Thanks, and thanks for the feedback. I would usually try and do something like that but was maxed out on the footage, I was pretty slack with filming during the machining.

    Even on a lightweight bike and frame, there are a lot of forces that multiply and or add up together, on key parts you will need likely double the wall thickness of tubular sections, joining plates more than you think you think is alright...,
    As well as adding more the main/major supporting webbings & buttresses being tougher and as close to the force-loaded area(s)/pivot(s)/sub-assemblies etc, and requiring longer weld lengths for greater inter-surfaces connection area wherever able to do so. In some places you already have saved weught by the small bike nature, bur in others, you need more within the componentry parts.
    All for longevities sake (and piece of mind(s) in the long run)Please !!
    In aiding in resistance to unforseen forces, as you are creating this from your natural mind and general 'yeah that looks about right',
    ..things like bodyweight, learning, foot pressures, steering and frame twisting and bending (cantileveringl compressional and torsional) from suspension forces all interacting with the generated gyroscopics and constant dynamically twisting & changing centrifugal force additoins from rifing and the engine/gerbox.

      That’s for that explanation. At least this was a good lesson with no real consequences. I’ll be able to keep all that in mind for the next one.
      Luckily this one is destined for the bin and I’ve made a new jig and have a new more conventional chassis I’ll be fabricating.

      @@OddsandEndsMachining sorry about the typos. ...I hope you was able to get enough of the gist, ..I can fix those if you wish?
      The torsionly twisted suspension mounting tube to bend and twist like that indicates well the forces involved - it's not your overall design is wrong, or styled incorrectly, it's getting there and looks good, ..although from the unpainted look, your tubes seem like a from of general automotive mild steel?
      it just needs some more more tubular triangulations at least with some thicker metal sections, plates, webbs, brackets, being welded in as (weld length) load force/spreading webbing(s) around the suspension pivots areas and the new shock mount, - usually the monoshock mounting cross-frame box section are over 4mm thick being massively thick and relatively deep if of double tubes welded atop each other, with large angular butress force supporting webs, compared to the sidewalls/sidetubes of a frame as your riding weight is feeding directly into the mount and then the shock.
      maybe another 1 or 2 of the existing main tubes per side with some additional buttressed headstock supporting triangulations too.
      As a 'mark 1..whatever sub variant, that frame is a good '1st' point to work from :¬D

    Why out of steel? Duralumin would have been a better choice.

      I just happened to have a piece the right size and am not super worried about the weight. The rpm will be kept relatively low.

      I will probably buy a couple of decent ones I can use for steel. Otherwise the cheap ones last a very long time in aluminium.
