I really enjoy these videos. I need a shop to play in..., I mean; build important things.

Enjoy the way you 'think outside the box' to end up with what you want/need. Thank you for sharing with us. Great job on that crown.

Yes I hope so too. Unfortunately, Mitch cannot make it down there, so we will have to be creative..

Great video , its only when you watch a few of these videos that you can start to appreciate the amount of work , thought and planning that goes into making a bike .

Paul, some familiar suggestions from my side. If you put the aluminium block on high parallels in the vice, you can slot from the front and the back in one go. No need for removing the jaws of your vice. Another suggestion I've learned is not to mess with the vertical alignment of the milling head. For me it takes a while to get it just right and the majority of the work is done with the spindle in this vertical position so I like to leave it that way. That's why I adjust the angle of the part preferably instead. I got a set of angle gauges, an adjustable one and a sine bar if it really needs precision and I align the part in the vice using them. I know more ways to Rome and you're probably used to do it this way but it maybe helps saving setup time in the shop. And I like to have more action to see so now you know where I'm aiming at. Love you Paul. Keep up the good work and stay safe. All the best, Job

Thank you Job.. I change the angle of the head quite often, and I don't mind having to reset. Building frames and mitring tubes means the head angle is changed on a regular basis. I'm not sure what you mean about not needing to remove the vice jaws and using high parallels...Not quite making sense to me, but thanks for commenting!

@@paulbrodie Well if you put the part in the vice parallel to the vice jaws on high paralels you can reach front and back in one setup. The height of the parallels should be enough for clamping the piece and for the saw mill to clear the vice jaws.

A touch of genius on the drop out set up Paul. Very good indeed. Dean.

Paul and Mitch like to drink coffee, which is a great reminder for me to make some coffee before watching every new video. It's also optional to buy them coffee too, if you feel like they've earned it.

One idea for a video would be Paul reverse engineering a drawing for one of his many "Brodie" bike parts. That way he can once again have a drawing for his fork crown and other Brodie bits that are so clever. Personally I would love a pair of Gatorblade forks for one of my Brodie frames.

@paulbrodie

3 күн бұрын

I do have a drawing for the Gatorblade fork crown. Yes, I could make a drawing for other parts, but that takes time, and if I do make another one-off part (such as the Woznot fork crown...) I can do it without a drawing, I have found It just makes it more interesting for me if I don't have a drawing. A bit more of a challenge.. Thanks for commenting!

Great creative thinking 👏👏👌

I think I have some 1982 dimes I could send you for you to use.... That would be the best year to use, for good luck of course and not because it's my birth year. 😅😁👍 😂

Are they Canadian dimes? If so, I would accept, because my dimes are not the same year. Thank you

Paul, additional question. In the heydays of Paul Brody bicycle design and fabrication; did you and your team made al these parts on conventional machines as your doing now?

@paulbrodie

3 күн бұрын

The prototypes were made by me on manual machines. This applies to early fork crowns, and the brake booster, for example. After that, these parts were CNC machined, in order for us to make some money. Thanks for commenting...

Why not use 2024 dimes to differentiate the modern build from the vintage fork build?

@paulbrodie

I did think about that, but I kind of like the older dimes.. Thanks.
