It is wonderful to see you back online, telling your story, and updating us followers. What a terrific surprise!
Thank you :)
That is a harrowing pair of events . Good to see you up and about again . When you follow someone on YT , if they stop posting there is no way to find out what happened to them. It just becomes an unfinished story. Thanks for coming back .
@@romandybala hey Roman, your post is posted as a reply to my original post so, Paul might not see it. Perhaps you could delete it and post it into the main thread which would be immediately below the comment count at the top of the posts. I had a great visit with Paul yesterday, had a great chat and we took apart the a wheel to get at the 8" brake drum he needs for his cub. The only disappointing thing is Mitch wasn't there recording so, I'll missing my 15 minutes of YT fame . ;)
@@romandybala Yes, we came back, and thank you for watching! 😉
@@paulbrodie great to see you back... keep, well!
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!!!
This is amazing. I am a former mechanic - now a lawyer and I would love to go back to creating. 35 years in a Philadelphia law firm and I'm ready. Congrats on your pivot.
@@edgeorge785 Go for it! I spent 20 years in software and grew to hate it. My mental health is soooo much better now! It's never too late!
Software engineer?
@@edgeorge785 Hi Ed remember that Jay Leno was also once a mechanic and looking at him now well I guess we all see someone who is living the dream with all the special things he has in his toybox to play with.
But I believe that like Mike Muniz the Corolla guy when he leaves this Earth behind what he has saved and restored will be for all those left to wonder about and enjoy a he has preserved history for future generations to marvel at and find inspiration in what he has left as a legacy and what he has achieved is something to inspire others.
All that ever holds us back in truth is ourselves think on that and make wise choices life is meant to be enjoyed, Better to arrive at our final destination sideways with a Beer in one hand and a smoke between our teeeth saying Wow what a ride than arriving all sedate and always wondering what if Cheers
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!!!
Thank you Rick. Mitch and I are happy to be back, and making videos at a slightly slower pace 😉
Great to see you back mate! Thoughts and strength to you!!
Much appreciated
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.
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 TH-cam. 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 am a 65y.o. hobbyist bicycle framebuilder, who greatly benefited from your outstanding videos on framebuilding. And I want to thank you for this.
I am so sorry for your health issue. I heartily wish you the best of luck and a swift recovery.
Mauro, thank you very much!
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.
Yes, thank you Mitch.
I missed you Paul! I'm so happy you're feeling better and here to tell us all your stories.
Thanks Benny.
The world needs more people like you. Best wishes and speedy recovery.

Thanks Robert. Appreciate your comments.
So happy to see you back Mr. Brodie, you've been in all our thoughts!
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.
Thank you Gregory. Very nice words! Appreciate it very much...
Hi Paul, it’s so great to see you again, and I hope that your health goes from strength to strength. Thanks so much for sharing the story and your great friendship with Mitch and Eve. It was very touching. I’ve missed your videos, and glad that you are doing OK. Very best wishes
Thank you very much! 😉
❤ glad to see you again Paul. Thank you Mitch for being there ❤
Welcome back Mr. Brodie. It’s great to see you back! You were missed.
Hey, thanks! It's good to be back.
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. 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. We do have to be careful on our two wheeled contraptions.
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.
It's wonderful to see you back, Paul. You are a true gentleman, and Mitch is a wonderful person and a great friend, we can all hear that in your voice. I can feel a recovery project coming on sometime next year! Keep strong, and know there's a whole lot of people out here on your side.
Wonderful news, Paul. You've been in probably one of the biggest and hardest battles one can fight during his/her life and you made it through. I've been very fortunate to get to see you and your life through TH-cam and you've taught me so much on things not just related to fabricating but life in general. Forever grateful for that. Hope you're up for few cups of coffee 👍
Stay strong…we are going through cancer now with my wife…it is a long process but you can make it through…we are all behind you…you have touched more people than you can possibly imagine and have a legacy that spans generations…thank you and I’ll see you on the trails!…
Thank you Jason. Yes, I do feel all the support and I am grateful for it.
Paul, glad to see you back in front of the camera. We plan on seeing you here for quite a while. Praying for a speedy recovery.
Thank you :)
I'm sure you realize how many friends you have out here that you've never met! I'm working on so many motorcycles, and found this channel to be extremely motivating. You have the only gearhead channel, (hats off to Mitch too), that my wife will actually watch and enjoy with me. Why? Your an excellent teacher who leaves out all the false drama, and doesn't hesitate to show errors when made. I went so far, as to buy a Triumph Cub, to follow along with you! So happy you are back, and on the road to recovery!! Be well!!
Thank you very much! Appreciate your comments for sure. I get my second Cub in the spring, and plan on starting Tiger Cub Number Two shortly after that. All the best! 😉
Paul and Mitch - so happy to see you back in the saddle, so to speak! What a ride you've been on. I hope your chemo is tolerable and totally successful! You're well experienced with traumatic stuff, so I'm thinking that your spirit will be a major factor in your healing. I continue to root for you, Paul, and many thanks to Mitch for the support he's giving you!
All the best, my friend!
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2001 and I didn't think I would still be alive in 2022 but here I am. I takes a long time to rebuild your body. I wasn't myself for about 2 years. Now at 70 I feel great. So just keep plugging along and focus on the things you love to do. Remember to keep your stick on the ice.😊
So sorry to hear that you have been ill Paul, I have really missed your intelligent teaching. Here's hoping for your speedy recovery.
Thanks Colin.
51 seconds in and we are thrilled you're back. You've beeen missed in this household and we all send the the best of wishes!
“But we were keen.” That’s always the start of something good. Prayers for your continued recovery.
My Farther died from bonecancer, he retired at 62 then build his dream bike.
A Tri-Ton Triumph/Norton hybrid. Shortly after finishing the build, he hit a pothole and wrecked it.
He pushed it home (5km.) then he sat down a wasn't able to get up again, shortly after he was taken hospital got scanned and diagnosed.
He didn't make much longer, so I really hope you do make it.
As they say,- if you come of the bike, you have to get back on it right away!
Salute Mr. Brodie.
Paul I will be praying for you to be totally healed. I really enjoy the work you have done. It was always a pleasure to see you and Mitch working together in your shop. Kind thoughts to both of you!
Thank you Chris. Appreciate your comments!
Hope you're feeling much better, Paul, great to see you back
So thrilled to see you back! I hope your recovery is quick. You’re a huge inspiration to so many people, myself included.
So glad to see you back. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.
You are so welcome!
Hey Paul, lovely to see you. I love your story and just wanted to say, I am a bowel cancer survivor so I understand what you are going through and I wish you all the luck in the world and hopefully one day it will all just be a memory. Bob. UK
Thank you Bob. All the best!
I´m really glad that you´re back and doing well Mr. Brodie! Best wishes!!
So happy to have you and Mitch back. I really enjoyed listening to you tell your story. Your channel is one of the best on TH-cam not just because of your outstanding workmanship but also because of your wonderful personality and humor.Sending all the best wishes for your recovery. Cheers from Australia
Outstanding shipmates. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. My dad restored two 1935 Indian Scouts. He is gone off to Heaven now. My brother has both bikes up in Austin Texas now. So watching your video takes me back in time. Yes my dad use to race flat track in Houston Texas and ells where too. What i am trying to say is thankyou for what you and your team do. Carry on sailor.
In the past few months I have learned what it is like to be incapacitated, and derailed by health issues. I know how hard it is to feel ill and focus on creating and doing. Thank you for your great content and here's wishing you a full recovery.
Thank you JR. Yes, life can deal us some curve balls, so we have to take what comes and hopefully, remain positive. Not always easy. Thanks for your support.
@@paulbrodie Thank you for what you do.
I could listen to his voice for hours …
Thanks to both of you for bringing back the stories from life & shop.
It’s a privilege to tune in again.
Great to see your still up for making videos. The care and skill you put into your work transfers through to your viewers and is not lost on us. Wishing you a successful recovery.
Wishing you a quick and full recovery. I am always impressed by your craftsmanship and ingenuity.
Thank you very much!
Paul, thank you for the entertainment you've given me. I wish you a speedy recovery. I love what you do and I could watch your channel for hours on end. I am 50 yrs old and I swear I'm going to be a craftsman/ fabricator someday.
Thank you Mike. Best time to start being a fabricator is today!
Fantastic to see you back, mate. You've been sorely missed. All good wishes from down here in Australia for you to make a full recovery. Stay strong.
Fantastic to see you back in the saddle Paul. Always a pleasure to hear your stories and see your work. A good day indeed.
Your channel has that special ingredient, the life stories, that is missing in a sea of unboxing videos on TH-cam. Any additional tech tips you impart are just the icing on a very rich cake! Thanks.
Thank you Stephen. Very nice comments!
Welcome back Paul and Mitch. You guys always got a great story to tell, it’s always from the heart. Thank you.
Pithy Bikes! Good to hear from you. Thanks for watching.
Ayyyye you’re a legend Paul. Missed you and Mitch I’m glad to hear stories from you again.
Fork surgery went well but just waiting on cables to finish building the bike. Your video made the fork surgery possible! Couldnt have done it without you! Super glad you are back in the shop. Sip the coffee slowly, enjoy, and we will try and send you more!
Thanks James. Good to hear that fork surgery went well.
So good to see that you are back. Your videos have been among my favorites since I discovered them. Wishing you all the best in your battle with cancer, and hoping that as you make progress there, you will find the energy to get back to the shop, even if only to tell stories.
Absolutely wonderful to see you and Mitch back Mr Brodie, all the best with your recovery 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Great news to see you back Paul!!!
I sincerely wish you well Paul, from over the pond- UK.
Hello UK :) Thanks for watching!
Glad you’re back. You have my prayers and wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.
One of my very fav channels. In my tiny shop, to "Brodie" something means to make it (in my case with little skill or success) but it's creators like Paul and Mitch that give me the confidence to give it a try. It's an inspiring channel for several reasons. Delighted you guys are back and we'll be here whenever you can put out some more awesome content.
Hi Paul! It’s great to see you in your happy place. Best of luck with your recovery ❤
Since discovering your channel a year or so ago I've gone back to watch all the videos that you've put out. They have been a rare pleasure to watch. Your achievements speak for themselves and the way that you present the complex engineering so calmly and clearly is an inspiration. It's great to see you back.
So happy to watch you back Paul ! You were like a missing friend. Sincerely.
Great to hear Paul, onwards and upwards
Great to see you back in action, Paul!
Wonderful to see you back in the shop again telling your story. All my thoughts and wishes for your recovery. I hope to see you pull through and get well again and hopefully continue making all your wonderful videos again. They are an absolute treat. Paul, you are such an awesome person and I wish you all the best!
It is so good to have you back, and thank you for sharing your story.
So glad to see you back. Regardless of what you might think, you have been an inspiration to many of us since the blog days. You’ve taught us that the machine doesn’t know or care who makes the part as long as it’s done right and has “a good fit”. This keeps many striving for better and better results. That a legacy! Praying for you during this process as we know it will not be easy. Though virtually a stranger, you are valued!
Wow what a story my friend! Glad to see you back, I knew that something was wrong and my first thought was medical problems had stopped you. Hope everything works out for the best for you and your health and hope you get feeling much better soon! Thanks for sharing your story, we all love your channel and it's great content, one of the best on TH-cam in my opinion. Give a special thanks to Mitch for all his help and support.
You are a natural story teller. It's so nice to see your return. Wishing you all the best with your recovery!
Hey Paul, so glad you shared your story!
I'm a cancer survivor myself (bowel cancer) and so is my father.
Glad to see that you are receiving the help you need and I wish you all the very best for your journey through the treatment.
Everyone's trip down this road is different, but it sounds like you are staying on course and have the destination in mind.
Safe travels from Australia
🇦🇺💙 🚲
Prayers your way Paul. Praying for a speedy recovery. Mitch, thank you for being there for Paul!
Mitch and I are a very good team. Thanks for watching.
Not gonna lie, my heart leapt a little to see a new video from you guys. So glad to see you back! Take it easy, get better, and do what you’ve got to do! Your fans will be here waiting for you and wishing you well.
Thank you very much!
I love your story videos, so glad to see you back 😁
You guys are amazing. Love to see the positivity and smiles in the midst of all you've dealt with and continue to deal with. I wish you a speedy recovery so you can get back to whatever you want to do. Truly inspiring.
Wonderful to see you back! Your presence was really missed.
It is great to see you back and keeping us in the loop. You are honestly one of my favorite people in the fabricating world and I greatly appreciate your willingness to spread your knowledge. Best wishes on your journey to recovery. We will be here ready to learn when you get back
We are back! Thanks for watching :)
It is so great to see you back! What a surprise! Thank you and Mitch for all the great videos. Best wishes!
Get well soon Paul. I love your channel. We are the same age and I have a big, interest in motor bikes that I never really fulfilled. I do though through you. Barney Neill
Thanks Barney. All the best...
It's wonderful to have you back and learn about your "get to the choppa" moment
So great to see you again. When you called me the end of April to wish me a happy birthday, I had no idea what you were going through. I always considered you a mentor and it pained me to see you going through something like this. My own "motorcycle from scratch" project has been on hold out of respect and now I will get back to it to honor your resilience and determination. All the best to you and Mitch. I hope we see more of you two soon.
My husband and I are so glad you share you mechanical insites. A real blessing for us. Get well, you are a treasure.....
Hey Paul and Mitch, so glad to have you guys back! I work alone and your shop noise and voice have really become a welcomed companion on the days when it just doesn't seem like what I'm doing is worth it. Hope your recovery goes smoothly, and even if you never feel up to making videos again, I'll still find enjoyment in rewatching all the amazing stuff you've put out so far.
The exitement I felt when I saw this video while procrastinating homework was absolutly tremendous. Glad to see you back in action, and wishing you get better soon! Cheers.
Thanks for watching!
The Mitch face reveal! Love it
Yes, Finally!!!
Sending well wishes your way Paul! Very glad to hear the story. You're an inspiration!
Paul just want to say thanks for all you do. I make, simple in comparison, custom motorcycle frames for a living. you have inspired and improved my work with the knowledge you pass along here. The impact you have is far greater than the feedback you can see on here. I was also in a horrific motorcycle crash and if you ever want to talk war stories send me a message. I ask the universe to help you on your speedy recovery!
Great to see you back Paul, look after yourself. Best wishes from Australia
Thank you Australia.
It is so good to see you guys back, and back at it. You have been dearly missed. I loved the story of The Excelsiors, a bit of your history, and how this channel came to be. The Three Amigos---- priceless. My two best friends for the past 40 years, we were always referred to as The Three Amigos. Until this past June, when one of them was tragically killed on his motorcycle, in Ashland Kentucky when a deer ran out in front of him in the middle of the day. You are looking great, and you are in my prayers sir. Seeing you back is like reconnecting with an old friend. All the best Paul (and Mitch).
Great to see you! Best wishes for comfort through treatment and recovery!
I’m so glad you’re doing well and back in front of the camera. It was very interesting to hear your story on how you and Mitch created this partnership! Your videos are very inspiring and I really look forward to your channel. We are all so lucky you are willing to share your life with the world and also lucky Mitch came along with his iPhone 11 to be able to capture it. I hope your treatments go well and will be thinking of you as you work your way through to full recovery.
Thank you Paul and Mitch. Be well.
Jake, thanks for watching and commenting.
First off welcome back Paul we have all missed you , What an incredible story dude you certainly don't do things by half .
I wish you a speedy recovery mate and look forward to watching more video's to come have a good day from sunny Thailand 😎😎👍👍👍👍
Thank you Karl. Greetings to sunny Thailand!
It's so wonderful to see an upload from you. I've learned so much from you here, and Mitch as well for assisting in everything. Wish you the best with your treatment and recovery sir.
p.s. Great picture of Billy from that event. The excitement you guys possess for two wheeled machines is something else, I can't find the words for it
You're back as Gandalf the Grey. Hurray!
Call me what you want. Thanks for watching!
Great to see you again.. and Mitch 😎 thanks for your video. There So much to learn ☺️
Thank you!
Hey Paul, sorry to hear your diagnoses. My name is Eric and I had two surgeries in April to remove skin cancer then lymph nodes to see if it had spread. Lymph nodes tested benign.
I had a 1981 Zundapp KS80, I used to ride around Walnut Grove. Take care, be well !
Thanks! I like Zundapps. I remember them as a kid. And I do know where Walnut Grove is!
I was so happy to see this video in my feed this morning! You take all the time you need Paul.
So glad to see you back, Paul!! Hope that the medical issues are behind you.
Thanks. The medical issues are for the rest of my life.
god bless you Paul and gods speed on your recovery im a 3x cancer survivor and if i can do it so can you, i will keep u in my prayers , YOU WILL SURVIVE !!! I know it
