    I could say a lot of things but mostly want to say how insanely cool it is that you made all those the manual way. Machining is like sculpture in a lot of ways, but you just took it to another level! Cool stuff as always, man!

    *_I have drawn plans and the plans didn't work. When I do it in my head I almost never mess up. Almost. Nothing wrong with working things out in your head. You do incredible work and have achieved amazing things most people here in the states aren't able to with expensive machines._*

    Wonderful! I was wondering if you had planned for an O-ring when you machined the threads on the brake-fluid reservoir and was happy to see that you made the O-ring groove at the end of the vid. As someone mentioned below, CLC ("Ca Lem Controlled" machining) is way more fun to watch than CNC. 😀

    I am just in the middle of the video but I have to leave a comment now: You are the most creative and skilled machinist I have ever seen. Those parts are extremely complex and you make them MANUALLY! If there was a Nobel prize in machining you would definitely win every year! Your videos never stops to amaze me. I love your humor as well and I both learn and laugh when I see you work! Love and respect from Sweden! ❤😊

    • @dennisyoung4631
      @dennisyoung4631 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The chief issue, at least in my case (and possibly his) is simply being *able* to secure the store-bought item - either because it costs too much for *your* budget - or, the thing simply is *not readily available in YOUR location,* e.g. you need right and left four-pot disk brake bike calipers - and you simply have no clue as to where to secure them! Oh, and sealed bearing single-sided hubs, too.
      I don’t have *near* the tools he has, though - even if I do have a lathe and mill at home.

    If at this point in time you haven't been contacted by a number of companies via their machining/engineering/designing departments then something is wrong.

    @JohnRides ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It's pleasure to watch, as always. I would like to suggest something - most of factory clutch and brake levers have pre-cuts in about 2/3 of it's length so when your motorcycle falls, only the end of the lever is broken so it won't damage master cylinder itself and the motorcycle is operational with 2/3 of the lever present.

    •  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I know that but the end of my lever is thin enough to break or bend in that case
