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!!!

I can't express enough how good it is to see you back here Paul!

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!!!

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 YouTube. 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 missed you Paul! I'm so happy you're feeling better and here to tell us all your stories.

[JohnSmith-eegf]

The world needs more people like you. Best wishes and speedy recovery.

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.

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. 👍

[joell]

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.

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.

[gregorygolden]

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.

[jaybob]

Welcome back Mr. Brodie. It’s great to see you back! You were missed.

[philippegouvet]

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.
