Hi Paul, perhaps you should check the perpendicularity of the first hole you bored. At 15:11 it looks like the workpiece was clamped at an angle. Thanks for the entertaining video as always, keep it up!

this reminded me of the days when v-brakes were new, and i was poor. i took some cheapo italian(?) canties pressed from flat aluminium with turned inserts and questionable strength ball holders for similar post pads (aztec tho). then i took some literal aluminium door handles i found around, a hand saw and my trustworthy russian hand drill with my only bit, and made some v brakes out of the handles. during the times of drilling-force-milling the holes the tv reception went away in the neighborhood, which was extra fun. still have some parts, they never failed me.

I can attest the red sharpie thing is contagious!

I wish I could head out that way for the bike show. It sounds like a great time. Life has been stressful this year. I need to get away.

I was really into bikes when I was a kid, hence why I’m watching you I think. Any ways I liked the bigger cranks for climbing the hills in my little town. I didn’t have any real good bikes just junk I’d find out we could get from the local roses, Walmart, Kmart. Sadly there was no mountain biking magazines in the stores either. That was not a thing. I don’t think this type of bikes came in out area till the 90’s. They were all road bikes at the stores, the typical ten speed. It was fun though as a kid putting two or three junk bikes together and making something.

They might not be the lightest weight rim brakes but they look very cool & well built.

If The Brode came across a Schwinn Apple Krate he'd bust it to pieces while laughing like a maniac

The Brode got to make a geared bicycle one these day

Nice to watch you work. I was a machinist from 1975 to 2000 in a shop of about 50 machinists {electronics company}. Could not help thinking "no I would do that differently" on many steps. Still brought back long ago memories. Very enjoyable. Will watch the next steps and I imagine I will be thinking that "I would do that another way." Good work.

The result will be functional handmade bling bling and I love these parts. May the mill be with you😎

Even a simple video is packed with so much useful information. Thanks!

Doing the chamfer- two ways come to my mind, one use a large custom counter sink

Or

Use a rotary table with a ball nose endmill and a tapered angle endmill and blend the taper into the radius. Thes second way is much more labor intensive though.😂

I was one of those that commented on the cantilever frame behind you in the last video. I was so taken with the upper portions of the frame that I didn't notice the drive train on it. But I'm still diggin' the Waznot. I wouldn't mind if you go through this build and heat treat it or whatever you need to do to it to restore the temper to it. And then compare it to the original Waznot. But if that doesn't happen, no problem. Anything that you do is interesting to me and your other followers.

Thanks Paul and Mitch, it's always a pleasure to spend some time in the BC shop.
Best wishes, Dean.

2:58 I hope someone still has it and you can get it back. That's a long time though if it was randomly taken.

[murdoc]

There is something so calming watching you think, process and work! The ambient sounds add to magic and brings us viewers into the shop with you! Great stuff once again! Please make sure to share with us the Bike Show! Go Paul and Mitch, keep moving forward!

[RReese]

Please show more about the shaft drive bicycle. It looks really cool. 🙂

In another life, I’d be a machinist. Fascinating work!
