- Hey guys! Sorry this one took so long. You'll see why in the video ;)
In this video I miter the tubes and throw them on the jig.
I had a chat a Jamie Swan a while ago and he gave me a bunch of tips. One of which I used in this video. Thanks Jamie!

the RIP part was pretty hilarious, great stuff!
+HENRY ! My wife was telling me that part should be longer.. But she loves watching me make a fool of myself ;)
Loved the 'RIP Tube' sequence...
+Richard Hayter haha I'm glad.
Cant wait for the finished product! soo nice!
+Valdemar Jensen thanks man, me too!
Great channel !! I've learned a lot! Its something I've wanted to do for years!! Just bought the Sieg SX3 mill, Baileigh pipe bender and pipe notcher, and all the aluminium extrusion for my Jig!! It can't get here fast enough!! Thanks for the push!!!!
Wow great bender! Have fun with your build!
As I was watching I was glad to see you weren't making any hole saw size mistakes like last build.... and then it happened !
I felt the pain through the screen. I've done it many times before with other projects.
+C Puzz I wonder how many folks caught my error before the dun dun dun! Haha!
Every frame builder at one time or another has forgotten to change out the hole saw. It is a sinking feeling when it happens, but it can be overcome with not to much pain. Thanks for sharing.
+Jared Morris 2 strikes for me Jared! :)
Always worth the wait.
+Nelumbo Nucifera and as always I'm super grateful to have such great folks watching. TY!
Love this. Awesome!!
Dude the production value keeps going up. Great work!
Thanks Sean! :)
i freakin love the memorial of the tube! wow!
Hahah it was silly as hell! thanks!
Great video
CaN'T wait 4 ur next upload! Been lurking a while! This is on par with diresta! But bikes... and at home.. and... bikes! ^_^ Wish I had the equipment and skill to do what you do! Thanks for sharing it with us. Big props!
+GOLDDUBBY ONE thanks for the kind words! I'll make some changes still to the design so next video should be quite interesting!
great video. thanks for sharing. you make it look so easy.
+michele vitarelli it mostly requires a lot of patience :)
Always Great!! oh to be human and excited for the next cut!
+Aaron Glaser :) indeed!
Congratulations, very good
really fun !!!
+Michaël :D
*it's annoying when the pipe has to be in vain, but it brings joy when it comes to dating him* ^_^
one of a kind bike cool
excelente video!!!!
+Luis Enrique Lira Romero :) TY!
long wait is over ☺
+Warren Zausa :) till the next video... ;)
Learning a lot of things from you man...your doing a good job educating us viewers and subscribers☺🚲
very good video as usual! i'll be waiting new one ))).
+Степан Александрович М thanks for watching!
Great video again, makes me want to build my bikes too :-)
+Antoine van der Straeten yes!
You gave that tube a good home, but it's always a tough thing to say goodbye all the same. 😭
+Chiro75 the memories... The memories.
human error, even you did it. I thought the precission guy like you always make a perfect result, but human is just human, it is normal and it always make you crazy thingking about that mistake. DAAAAANG IT!!!
+Chandra Defta hahaha we are not machiiiines! :)
This is excellent work. BTW, if you look up Keith Fenner, he just did a pretty good video on straightening a drive shaft. That is an option rather than living with a bow in the tube.
I didn't watch that one. I'll add it to my watch list. The tube is so very slightly bowed that it's not really a problem :) It's just nice for a retentive person to have it bow in line with the frame.
You're out 3/1000ths. Keith's criteria is 2/1000ths. It's the only reason I mentioned it. Still a big fan of your work!
Heh loving the comic relief! i bet this won't ever happen again to you! regardless I'm sure your friend will see new life in the future out of the stock box ;)
+Yoshi Yoshida The bright side - I won't need to buy any practice welding tubes for a good while. :D
That's good build frame bro. This is nice! I hope to soon tried to build my frame. GIVE ME ADVICE PLEASE. From Philippines. thanks
Great videos as always mate,very entertains and informative. You think a recumbent might be on the cards sometime?
Recumbents looks super tricky to build. :) I've still got so much to learn before tackling anything like that. I still haven't even built a bike with gears yet! Come to think of it, I haven't built one with brakes either. ;)
what type of tube did u used to replace the fail one? (the darkest one)
lol you've made that hole saw error before! Ouch!
I know!! It hurt man.. I noticed right after I removed the tube and thought *$&# I did it again. Something tells me this won't be my last time. hahah
Can you please do a video for headTube ..?
Complete process from scratch about heatTube.
Great video. Where do you buy the pre-made Aluminium frame?
+andry tenor its made by a company called 80/20. And the product is called 80/20 extrusion. A google search should bring it up.
Just like too say your videos are helping me so much with my a level project, keep up the amazing work!
Just wondering why you transfered from the lathe too the mill too mitre the tubing, doing mitre testing at the moment and the lathe worked out ok but the mill seems like a better idea for some reason, thanks in advance!
+Josh Scott On my setup, the mill is more rigid. More rigid, more better! 😁
Pithy Bikes ah OK yeah, I have a full size mill (too my knowledge) and a full size lathe with a good 22" max material length... would you say the mill would still be stiffer, might be easier anyway 😀
I think with full size machines, it all comes down to how you're fixturing the tubes. For example; if you're using a lathe and attaching the tube to the compound's tool post, this this is likely less rigid than a mill. The tool post being the weak spot. If you were to make a custom fixture to attach directly to the carriage and even eliminating the compound, this is probably as rigid as you can get on a lathe. Next would be how you secure the hole saw. Securing the hole saw with an arbor and collet would be ideal. Whew! thats a lot of work! Mill is best imo becasue it's relatively fast to setup and all you need are some angle blocks/tube blocks and a vise.
Yeah I thought as much, thanks for the response, hadn't thought of attatching it directly too the lathe... May look into that purely out of interest, but today I started milling some v blocks too secure my tubing in place on the mill instead as you are right, its a lot more rigid
where did you get this jig?
What size hole saws
R.I.P.. tube :)))
when the right hole saws try to show us the right hole would be have there.. .it seems like when you say " and it was at this moment you know you fuck*d up" :P RIP tube
If you want to make an omelet, you got to break some eggs. :D
8:23 hilarious moment ...lol
hilarious and a bit idiotic ;)
May 1 2022 how I can get I touch with you....interesting in one special frame
I am from INDIA. I want to make chopper cycle so,which pipe is best for cycle frame making (aluminum,steel or metal )??? and which is cheaper???
what defines the angle of the seat tube? the top end position is fixed, giving you the frame-length. (handlebar-seat-distance)
but the bottom end (at bottom bracket) can be freely positioned? as you have no backwheel confronting the seat tube.
could you choose the bottom end position to match the fork angle? (for aesthetic reasons)
+JP not sure I understand the question but I'll give it a go :)
The whole ST assembly can be adjusted to slide front to back on the jig, thus changing the TT length. But before making that adjustment, the ST assembly can also rotate to change angle - which should be done first.
+JP while you can match ST angle with your Head Tube angle, it does not always make for the best ride characteristics depending on what the bicycle is used for. A lot come down to user preference. But I agree! Matching HT and ST angle does look the best aesthetically .
Are those Starrett hole saws pretty good quality?
+Jess Neal I like them a lot. They seem to hold up well but h I haven't mitered that many tubes yet. The best thing about them is tooth count, they have more. I don't know if Starrett is the actual manufacturer or they just slap their name on them.
Cool. They look like they have minimal runout too which is always a problem with cheap ones. Thanks for the reply. Frame is looking good so far. That jig is paying for itself :)
Do u have ur garage type something ? Please give the vedio of this ur working house .
Where did you get that jig at that hold your bike frame
Unless I'm wrong that jig was made by himself. You can see how he did it on a playlist of Pithy Bikes channel.
Hello,
What 3D software you use for bike design.
By the way, your videos are informative and nothing is left to chance.
cordially
+Ridha CHABBI hi! I use the pro version of BikeCAD. I like it a lot. Cheers!
Merci de ta réponse. Je t'ai liké sur Facebook; Tu le mérite bien.
Merci pour ça!
Hello,
BikeCAD pro does not offer 3D.
What software is this? : prnt.sc/dk683t
Have a nice week end
Could you please post the mini-mill manufacturer? Googling 'mini mill' gives ambiguous results :) I am quite impressed it can drive hole saws into chromoly steel at that ARPM. I own a Sherline mill, and no way that thing would have enough power for that (I believe it's 200W).
Check out this link :)

Thanks!
Is there a place where one can buy this jig? Or I just have to make it on my own?
There are many types of jigs out there you can purchase. Do a search for Bicycle Frame Jig. You'll find some. :)
What side tube is used, diameter, wall? And what size hole saw to cut it please
ah yes, someone else just asked this. I'll find out and post it somwhere ya'll can see it. I can't remember off the top of my head because I have insanely bad memory.
Yow!! please make a video with bmx bike please
hey. where can i get the tubing.
Got mine at henryjames.com
Here's a master list of suppliers on MTBR

+Pionel tapinessi ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
gotcha!
Pithy Bikes how do you make an integrated headtubes along with making mid size bottom brackets for bmx bike frames because I'm on my way of learning to make my own bmx bike parts soon please help??
+Alex Cruz.V9 hi, not many people make these themselves. They usually buy them from suppliers like Paragon Machine Works. Cheaper to buy than make your own. Unless you're making a lot of them. But to make your own, you need a full size lathe.
Pithy Bikes kk thanks any websites you recommend to order some thing like that?
Before I purchased a lathe and mill, I took a class on machining. This gave me an idea of what the machines are like and if I enjoyed machining. I think its a great idea to get your hands on a machine and try it out before you make any purchases. It also gives you some working knowledge of the machines and helps you buy a machine to the specs you want. Good luck!
OK thanks I'm actually am going to be in classes like that very soon altogether

+Colin White (probablynotpossible) you must wait for the next surprise appearance.
Making a bmx bike
Hi pithy bikes. Do you repair bmx dropouts...??
I don't sorry. I just do stuff for myself and family due to liability reason. :)
so goods memorys with that bad milled tube :'(
+Lanmar it will be missed.
so sorry for you about the trashed tube :/
+xGshikamaru it's k, tis life. :)
Do How to Basic
Not sure i know what you mean.. The first series is more basic (from last 2 years) This current series assumes folks watched the first series so I don't cover the stuff that I did in the first series. Hope that is what you're asking?
i mean .. How to Make a BmX Bike
Thanks ^_^
Ah i got you! Some day I will build myself a bmx. I suck at riding bmx so it's not near the top of my list ;) Maybe after I build myself a MTB.
Awesome! . . Keep it up Goodluck! ^_^
We are your Fans!
I'm looking for a bike builder or frame Builder that'll build a frame around 29 inch rims mountain bike 29 by 210 if you're interested in the challenge let me know
first
:)
who does your nails?
+insert cool name yours truly.
Music is too fkn loud can't hear !
Sorry. I've had other with the same comments. I'll try to be more mindful of the music. These days I've toned it all down quite a lot. Music gets dated really fast and it gets annoying really quick! Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers.
thanks sorry i put too much anger into my comment but this was my first impression of this channel in the first couple seconds but later in the video it was really impressive and so i sub after:)
i changed my dislike since you fully understand now and don't do it anymore
