Dude, you absolutely need to make sure your gas cylinders are chained to the wall. If that thing falls over and breaks the regulator off, its going to launch it like a rocket. Its extremely unsafe to leave them free standing with nothing to secure them. I don't want you to get hurt or have it destroy anything you own.
Seriously? This is a home setup, not an OSHA regulated shop. Chill. If he's moving the welder AT ALL he needs to be able to move the cylinder with it. If this were a professional shop, yeah, I'd be pulling out the CFR and fussing. But come on.
Jonathan Bell Then put the gas on a cart with the Welder. Who cares that this isn't a shop, it can still get knocked over and it can still seriously hurt someone. Just because it's at your home doesn't mean you can disregard all safety. I feel like you don't understand what happens if you break the regulator off a 3000 psi cylinder...
Jonathan Bell not being any a shop wont keep that bitch from turning into a rocket if it falls. Just because youre not in a shop doesnt mean you shouldn't try to avoid killing yourself. Especially doing something as easy as chaining a cylinder up lmao
On the contrary. I've been welding for 20 years. I've seen a few cylinders lose the valve. However, and try to stay with me here, maybe he doesn't have a cart with a cylinder mount? Should he get one? Yeah, probably. If he needs one, I'll send him one, no problem. But here's the deal, man. This is HIS home. This is HIS choice. This is HIS setup. What Dan does in HIS home with HIS setup is HIS choice. Did I notice the unsecured cylinder? Yep. Do I care? Nope. Quit looking through videos to nitpick. Watch the video, be happy the info is being put out there, and go about your merry way. I get that you want to be safety minded. I admire that. But if you feel the need to jump on someone about it, get a job as an OSHA inspector. You can make good money doing it.
Dan. You are one of the most down to earth youtubers out there. You actually talk to your fans. Keep up the good work Dan. I've been here for 2-3 years now and I'm never disappointed.
Couple other things I think would be useful to you: 1. Digital Calipers. Makes marking points for holes much more accurate, as you can scribe the metal. I'm willing to bet they'll come in handy later in your builds, too. 2. A wire wheel. Specifically one on a large bench grinder (larger than the grinder you have now, like a 1/2 horsepower one). All that nasty black stuff on the square tubing could have been taken away with a wire wheel and the steel could have been nice and shiny. Also good to prep for painting AND WELDING. Especially if you ever get rusty steel. 3. Drill Press. I know you don't have that much room and it's one more thing to pack if you move again but they really come in handy for drilling larger holes. I also applaud you on your use of a step drill. Hole saws are also useful if you ever need bigger holes.
Dan I'm leaving for bootcamp soon to the USMC in I just wanted to say the past couple of years watching you has been a blast I'll be sending you some assets I come across while serving our country.
The gas bottles you always open all the way with oxygen/argon, reason being is because they have a positive seal in the completely closed and completely open positions. If they're in the middle they can leak. HOWEVER, for the FUEL gases (acetylene) just open it enough to get the pressure you need so you can shut it off quickly if need be.
This inspired me. I've built motorcycles before but I've never made my own frame. Think it's time to make some investments. The jig looks awesome man...can't wait to see the bike come together
You could have saved yourself all that sweat by leaving the rotisserie on the floor, tipping the frame uprights over to it to bolt it up, set it back upright, then fit the legs last. MUCH less hassle.
Does Dan have a PO box? I heard that he didn't have a torque wrench and I have a new snap-on torque wrench laying around and would like dan to have it.
glad to know it's not just my dog who has to get right in the middle of everything when I'm working in the garage lol. love the video, looks like it will be a cool series, keep it up!
I feel like this is the first step for Dan to become a bike manufacturer, globally. Give it some time, he might ned a warehouse and start employing. This is gonna be great. Looking forward to it!!
I always knew TH-cam paid well, but this is insane. ZX10R, tuned Corvette and now this. I'm envious that I've spent the past three years of my life at University and not becoming a TH-camr ahaha.
I may not be a subscriber for a long time like some, but I hope to look back to this vid seeing the jig first being built and knowing the end result worked out. Best of luck with this new series!
I don't know what to do with my hands! I had zero confidence in the Harley build and it turned out great. I wish you the best of luck on this build. Cheers
Good shit man, big commitment. 800k people expecting this thing up and on the road pronto. Good luck. Also get a torque wrench, nothing like torquing everything perfectly to spec
So I've been lookin at purchasing a motorcycle, crazy expensive, people also want a lot of money for old bikes that need a lot of work... I've been fiddling with the idea of building motorized bicycles... I think this would be way more satisfying build... subscribed and I'm going to follow your build... great idea for content
Dan, with the shielding gas for welding, the cylinders are usually an all the way open or all the way closed system, so if you only go half way, you'll be leaking gas. the shielding gas isn't flammable anyway so there isn't much to worry about.
Hi Dan, I am a certified professional welder, been at it for a long time. About your shielding gas, all tall bottles should be opened fully, as the valve itself is designed to seal while fully closed and opened, if not gas will escape around the stem. Acetylene can be opened one half to one full turn, as to be able to turn it off fast in case of emergency, and it will not leak. I advise you to be sure of this by asking at the place you get your gas.
Dude this was the coolest thing I've watched in a long time. I worked at a custom shop in the past and now I wanna just build everything in a home garage. Been thinking about a jig and all. (music was dope too haha)
not gonna lie, this is gonna take a lot of hard work and its really cool too see you putting in this much effort for some cool videos. i wouldnt be able to do this even if i tried. good luck with this man im excited to watch it progress! :D
Great stuff Dan, glad i found this channel. I'm diving into building a bike from the ground up. While i won't start making a frame, i'm gonna start with a xv920 frame and custom build around it. These videos are great to get a grasp on the important stuff. Thanks for the content!
Holy shit, from the bottom of my heart, you're a fucking awesome human being Dan. I've dabbled in motorcycle mechanical stuff, took a week to change the chain and sprockets and another week to figure out issues that arose from that. So this series help help me learn how a motorcycle functions so maybe I won't be so afraid to do bigger jobs like fork seal replacements or tuning.
I'm looking forward to this series, so I can learn more about the components that make up a motorcycle. Might convinct me to buy one as a project thing
Dan you should pin this comment If Jax is the best doggo on the planet!
Goals
Well that was fast.
we need that jax video

Brady J glad you have someone around for so long :D
"This is a dog, it's not required but is recommended" love it😂😂
I know some people don't like your garage videos. But some of use love them. Keep them coming!
Just got in a car accident today, totalled my car as well and watching this really ease d my mind!
Daniel The Fallen time to get a jixer :D (gsxr)
I remember watching this in high school several times through - re visiting this because I’m finally in a position to try this myself
one time I ordered a bicycle online and I put the forks on backwards
Nice
ZackGoes ZACCCH
#Bikelife_Zackgoes
ZACKGOES!
ZackGoes that's zack for ya!
I'm can't wait for this build to actually begin. These is by far gonna be my favorite build series on TH-cam.
Dan looked at chase and proudly said "Oh you're fixing a salvaged bike? That's cute."
I'm fuckning PUMPED for this build series. I love your attitude of "anyone can build a motorcycle" I'm with that.
Man your videos are awesome
:D
stumbled on this after getting the idea of building my own motorcycle (used to have an 89 shadow 600 and an 05 zx6r 636)
so happy i found this channel
"in case of an emergency im gonna dip the fuck out" lol
This looks like it's gonna turn out to be the greatest series of all time!
i watched a free climbing video 2 minutes before this and it had that first song on a loop for 20 minutes
I feel sorry for you
that transition though was top notch!
Dan, it seems you are in way over your head, son. Good luck on the build and I look forward to seeing it. ;)
I think I got this!
Where there is a will, there's a way :)
Do It With Dan , I definitely agree. Looking forward to the build. :)
i think you got this as well...at least you do your research so that you know what your doing, not like some idiots out there.
2 years later how do you feel?

+Abraham Lincoln we should go on strike
Dan I'm leaving for bootcamp soon to the USMC in I just wanted to say the past couple of years watching you has been a blast I'll be sending you some assets I come across while serving our country.

Best youtuber out there, a-suuuuuh dude!!
ASAH DUDE
Ever thought about getting into paramotoring. Bought one instead of another bike and it's honestly the best decision I've ever made
That shit looks crazy awesome.
Spartan Saber ^ woodysgamertag
Dan you naughty boy! Piratebay bookmark at 5:30
Hahaha, got em
what is piratebay?
Elias Piano Music kis
Elias Piano Music a website where you can get free apps/porn/music/videos and more porn :)
Elias Piano Music and free pc games
This inspired me. I've built motorcycles before but I've never made my own frame. Think it's time to make some investments. The jig looks awesome man...can't wait to see the bike come together
Dan love.the vids if been here since 60,000 subs
Thanks!!!!
yeah dude, me too! Earlyer then he quit his job for doing youtube stuff. Fucking amazing guy, hell yeah from germany!
Jayce Moto been here since 5k
I ENJOY watching you spend hard earned money and making videos; it pays for itself.
Dan is making an expensive ass build... while I don't even have a dollar to my name.. MUST BE NICE DAN!!
The cost of building SHOULD be less than buying... But we'll see
depending on how much you value your own time.
Since I dont have a regular job, not much LOL
Get a job,or suck some Peter kim!
i love that dogs are aways so interested in what you are doing
You could have saved yourself all that sweat by leaving the rotisserie on the floor, tipping the frame uprights over to it to bolt it up, set it back upright, then fit the legs last. MUCH less hassle.
Lay flat. Install legs loose. Leave parallel. Tip upright. Kick legs perpendicular. Tighten.
I was thinking there was gonna be welding involved but there isn't. Very cool!
Thing looks awesome! Can't wait to see where u take this
You should help bro!
Do It With Dan just give me a call u know I'm down and I don't have shit going on!
This comment shows how dan is a real person and not some stuck up TH-camr 100%
Finally getting started with this project.
Hey dan
Much Respect Dan!!!
This set you apart from all the other motor vloggers.
one should always learn new this.
Now this has me excited! Will you be keeping this bike or selling it once its completed?
do you seriously comment on all videos just to promote your channel?
probably keep the first one till I'm sure it's safe lol
Do It With Dan understandable!
I don't ever see myself making my own motorcycle, but I just enjoy seeing the process :)
We get it dan....You drink budweiser.
Boost_for_days no, Bud pays.
That Frame Jig is looking badass. Nice job dude
Does Dan have a PO box? I heard that he didn't have a torque wrench and I have a new snap-on torque wrench laying around and would like dan to have it.
Bryce Ausen I mean if you're just giving away a 400$ wrench I'll take it
Austin Haley I got it really cheap actually I've spent thousands of dollars at snap-on so they give me a pretty good deal.
Bryce Ausen who the f has a spare snap on torque wrench lying around
+Matt Casey me
glad to know it's not just my dog who has to get right in the middle of everything when I'm working in the garage lol. love the video, looks like it will be a cool series, keep it up!
Notification squadddd
Give this man a torque wrench! And this dog a treat!
Are u creating ur own motor?
Nah, I'll use a donor motor
Do It With Dan oh yea it would take a long time to build one and it would be pretty fucky
I'm definitely not there yet LOL
Do It With Dan I think u could do it but it would take a long time and be annoying as fuck lol
This is gonna be the actual genuine motorcycle build on yt
I'm guessing Dan is fixing to build a sweet Honda Ruckus. I hope he doesn't hurt his vagina. ;)
That frame jig looks professional.
Your assistant isn't really helpful, he must be part of a union!!
I feel like this is the first step for Dan to become a bike manufacturer, globally. Give it some time, he might ned a warehouse and start employing. This is gonna be great. Looking forward to it!!
did you build this with youtube money
Justin Flaherty it's the only money I have
Justin Flaherty no he got it from a tree
Justin Flaherty what else,all he does is youtube
love the channel...didn't expext you to reply.
Glad you enjoy it!
the camera work and music is stellar. Keep up the good work Dan. I can't wait to see what you're building.
Luv u no homo
I always knew TH-cam paid well, but this is insane. ZX10R, tuned Corvette and now this. I'm envious that I've spent the past three years of my life at University and not becoming a TH-camr ahaha.
That is the best looking frame jig I've seen
Dude this series is so awesome, I've been wanting to build a bike for a while but never could find a good tutorial, thanks so much!
Glad I can help. Its something I've wanted to do for years and I had this like weird moment where... I was like "Oh fuck, I have to do this"
This series is going to be killer.
Harley build series was my favorite vids you ever did. Super stoked for this new build.
Dan you did a great job can't wait to see you build the bike
Digging the coastal Georgia shirt. I’m in Savannah , about to build my first bike from scratch .
cant wait to see what mad creation come rollin out of that garage. U have gained my interest sir.
I may not be a subscriber for a long time like some, but I hope to look back to this vid seeing the jig first being built and knowing the end result worked out. Best of luck with this new series!
Sweet! The garage is coming along great!!!!
Dan, you are doing something truly awesome. keep it up.
I don't know what to do with my hands! I had zero confidence in the Harley build and it turned out great. I wish you the best of luck on this build. Cheers
Good shit man, big commitment. 800k people expecting this thing up and on the road pronto. Good luck. Also get a torque wrench, nothing like torquing everything perfectly to spec
Hey Dan I've been practicing welding at my school. I work at an autobody shop restoring old vehicles and I hope someday I can build motorcycles too!
Man it's going to be nice seeing this project come along!
So I've been lookin at purchasing a motorcycle, crazy expensive, people also want a lot of money for old bikes that need a lot of work... I've been fiddling with the idea of building motorized bicycles... I think this would be way more satisfying build... subscribed and I'm going to follow your build... great idea for content
Thanks for the information Dan , i plan to purchase this kit and give it a go as soon as i have the room to do it.
Thanks a lot dan now you got me pumped up to see a motorcycle and i gotta wait for the building to start
This is sick dan! I can't wait how it turns out!
Flippin radical, this will be one EPIC journey!
Excited to follow this build! I've never even heard of a frame jig before.
Good luck on your bike your doing a great job so far.
I know I'm gonna love this series.
Dan, with the shielding gas for welding, the cylinders are usually an all the way open or all the way closed system, so if you only go half way, you'll be leaking gas. the shielding gas isn't flammable anyway so there isn't much to worry about.
Nice work Dan🖒
You've got me inspired Dan. Ive been contemplating a crame up project in my own shop.
Cant wait to see how this turns out .

now this is a bike build! no offence to other bike build vids but come on, frame up! respect to you Dan the man hope all goes well
not gonna lie, this is gonna take a lot of hard work and its really cool too see you putting in this much effort for some cool videos. i wouldnt be able to do this even if i tried. good luck with this man im excited to watch it progress! :D
Great stuff Dan, glad i found this channel. I'm diving into building a bike from the ground up. While i won't start making a frame, i'm gonna start with a xv920 frame and custom build around it. These videos are great to get a grasp on the important stuff. Thanks for the content!
Anyone else get super excited watching this?
I want a dog like Jackson, he just accompanies you the whole time while you work
Yaaaaaaay, 24 minute video!!! Need more of these
Honestly looking forward to seeing this play out. Good on you for doing what you love man. Ooohhh Billy!
Lookin good so far man. Can't wait for the build series to come.
Dan thx for making my day a good day
Holy shit, from the bottom of my heart, you're a fucking awesome human being Dan.

Great job Dan the man and of course Jackson the greatest helper dog👍🏻
Really awesome video dude! The frame jig turned out perfectly. Looking forward to watching the adventure unfold!
I'm looking forward to this series, so I can learn more about the components that make up a motorcycle. Might convinct me to buy one as a project thing
this made my day, watching this in lunchbreak at school
love these Build It With Dan videos!
