  1. was gonna tell ya to use a live center. although I would have used threaded rod and huge washers instead of boring it out. but looks like you got it

  2. Mustie1, Love the way U bring all those little bits and pieces from the hoard to create this bike, cool the way the 1/2 horse shoe matches the contour of the engine fly wheel… The way U used the copper wire to create a threaded cover for the gas cap was amazing, good build, thanks for posting!

  3. I truly enjoy your videos Mustie. I believe with you talking things thru gives you a better perspective and helps us think with you, that's what I enjoy. And then we can comment on our ideas which in turn helps you. Love fabricating. Good video for sure.

  4. Was watching the Mecum bike auction. So many of those early 1900's bikes reminded me of what you do. Man did some of them bring lotsa $$$

  5. Looking Good Mustie! Its great to see the Bridgeport in action……..you are learning!  End mills do not like heat, slower spindle speeds will make them last a long time between sharpenings. Its a learning curve, you will get the hang of it!

  6. Is it possible to heat that copper knob, then re-tin it by brushing with a soft brass wire brush? Not saying it'll work, I've never tried it, just thinking out loud.

  7. Love this build! If you mount a front fender…won't it have to mount to the wheel spindle some how? Seems like if it was mounted rigid to the forks you could take a chance on the fender bottoming out on the wheel…just a thought.
