Thanks for the kind words, I'd get back in the shed but my head's too big to get through the door now :D

[@nightster6378]

Think how big Matts's door must be! It's great to see your simple - (to you) skills, and I hope there is much more to come.

[@gazgazist]

The sign writing on Dan's bike is looking awesome..

[@millinutz]

Looks like i'm the first...🙂 Wish we could see a lot more Beezers in the shed, wether real ones or parts of. Thx for this clip.👍

[@millinutz]

Yeah, Ian certainly knows how to yield a brush, i've already seen his part 1 of the job and have encouraged him to do more of it. Very facinating !!

[@notwocdivad]

My Late Father in Law was a painter and sign writer by trade and as you say what a fascinating thing to watch! He did the tank of an old Fanny B I had, "Stippled" the tank then pinstriped it just like the painters in the RE factory, Lovely and original job! I got so many questions from bikers about who had done it! Amazing. Off to see your mate at work now! Cheers.

[@HepcatHarley]

Ted is so talented, I'd love to have him as a neighbour. :)

[@penguinproductions7014]

16.04… just an easy job? 🤔 Jesus! Easy for you to say 🤣 I love watching the perfect results you get with an old pair of pliers a hammer and an old bit of bar 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@750triton]

"What wiring there is". On a B31/33 surely that's just an HT lead. As it's a mag/dyno I've seen the dynamo replaced by a big wooden dowel on field bikes back in my yoof. If it had the original forks and wheel, you're right about that brake. Some may call it a half width hub but it's not even that wide and at 7" pressed steel you'd have more stopping power if you threw a boat anchor off

[@billrandell4641]

Has Ian tried his hand at stripping?? seems like a "natural" for him and will add a new "flair" on the Enfield builds..just a thought..Oh yea. YOU didn't alternate revolutions on that thread tapping from side to side, YOU used a left handed hammer instead of a right handed, on that # plate and Blue is leading off walking on his left paw instead of his right!!!..I know you will not only appreciate my "pointers" but make the neccessary corrections in your next video...

[@kennethszpindor1723]

Have watch the old fella doing his hand painting it's so good so you helping him with his wife's bobber as payment Craig

[@arthurhadley4429]

How about we have a camping wknd next year for the patreons, a load of blokes on a field talking bull💩 and having a laugh, would give us a chance to meet you. What you reckon Craig a Doghouse wknd.

[@arkangel13th]

I made a front plate just like yours;I shaped a 1 inch MDF with a radius on one edge,centered and clamped the steel plate already cut on it and hammered the edge arround a 1/8" brass wire, add a curvature for a rounder profile and finishing touch (must be the beginners luck) and looks super great!

[@marcus7697]

Don't forget when you coat the number board it should represent the size of engine white 750 , yellow 500, blue 350 green 250.

[@ordinaryguy1638]

What's happening with the competition Suzuki? Will it be finished for this summer?

[@dougieboboot-na-boot5877]

I remember you telling me on your Facebook page to have a go at rounding the edges of some brackets I'm working on, and it wasn't that hard. I'll have a go now after watching this video. Cheers 👍

[@BilgemasterBill]

Pretty little day-touring "green laner". We're it mine, I'd rather have at least a headlight and tail light, if not the whole directionals package, so as not to curse the darkness, as it were--not always needing to rush home as the sun was setting like some anti-vampire. But it's his Bitsa-Beeza, so he can do as he likes. Speaking of bits lacking, is there a story behind the gap in the spanner crossed with a piston in your tat?

[@johnfair62]

Found your channel. Glad I did. You build awesome bikes! From Tallahassee Florida!

[@dogpaw775]

who needs panel hammers when you have 'feel'. ps. pet hate. people who use metric fixings on old iron, bitsa or not, i'm sure you don't do this 8/

[@brahnseer3512]

In my day BSA stood for Bits Stuck Anywhere !

[@Neontrifle]

Great Job as always I'm looking forward to the raffle bike from xmas time being finished, is it anywhere near?

[@user-Merovingian1980]

that moment you let us hear that man Ted was amazing Craig please take a moment and realize where you are and how lucky you are ... moments are seconds long memories are forever .. sorry I'm a sucker for former empire culture

[@arkangel13th]

Am I hearing rain again?It's less depressing when you're in the shop,I suppose. :O)

[@sidwainhouse]

That's a lovely bitsa beeza, I recently refurbished one of the Smiths D shaped speedos, absolute things of beauty inside.

[@the1khronohs40]

That looks way better than just not having a light there, mate! Cracking! Ian video showed up in my feed a couple of days ago! Stunning job as well!

[@user-Merovingian1980]

so cool .. for me I'd rivet it to keep the cheap factory look not use bolts or flush it . but keep the style ,, if that makes sense

[@grahamparr3933]

What happened to the bike the guy won last Christmas🤔

[@roeng1368]

Did he think about led head and tail lights powered by drill batteries ? You get hours out of a full battery.

[@thomasdailey7242]

Judging by his hair, what color dress is he wearing tonight?

[@Wooley689]

Nice to step away and just do a simple bike once in awhile.

[@davidwhite9293]

It's great watching a master' at work

[@martinaskew7992]

Craig, what's happened to the GS

[@fredbailey2076]

you kept that quiet craig didnt you

[@danmakingstuff8392]

Is there a reason there's a gap in your spanner tattoo?

[@benspeedschannel888]

What a lovely little bike 😍😍

[@HepcatHarley]

995th :D

[@martinaskew7992]

What's happening to the GS

[@HepcatHarley]

@@martinaskew7992 I believe it's next on the list for powder coating and finishing after Dan's bobber, probably best to ask Craig :)

[@alantarling5746]

Don't listen to the camera

[@philmorrow2446]

Watched Ian last night. Brilliant!!! Really skilled craftsman at work. Highly recommended!! Love that BitSA!!! Class!!! Good to see you bouncing back after a difficult period. Big handclap bro.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Craig and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 you know your shed might be small but it's jam packed with character John

[@TheOldaz1]

Love the beeza, grew up on bikes like that. The first 500 Ajay I had bloke wouldn't sell it unless I could start it, he was somewhat amazed when I cleaned out old fuel, stripped and cleaned carb and able to kick it over - had it for quite a few years.

[@fazbencustom4534]

Perghhh

[@everywherelocal]

yeah! 🤘

[@everywherelocal]

yeah! 🤙

[@ScampAitken]

That BitSA would look great just left with its current patina and beeswax on the oval plate.

[@stevesimon1994]

Are you still thinking about expanding the shop into your other shed? I think that would be fun to watch and would certainly give you more room to work.

[@decab8292]

Hey Craig I didn’t know you lived next door to Tex Ritter 🤠 It’s really good to see your smaller jobs too..

[@Swoop10]

Some nice c-sink phillips head would look good on that number board, great video 👍

[@gregphillips.1312]

So nice to see the Bitsa again, I believe the Engine was a Door Stop in Marks Dads Shed, it was either that or the Gearbox ❤

[@raythirkettle4155]

BSA is lovely and so is Ian's work! cheers.

[@mauricevandoeselaar]

Isnt this a real cafe racer ? Underpowered bike and take bits off to add liteness ?

[@neil1150]

Now that is my kind of bike, lovely 👍

[@silktvPDR1]

We love a good box of bits being ridden and not hidden 👍👍👍

[@PRB1098]

1st?

[@kennethszpindor1723]

Well some special well it's not me then lol great little Bsa

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I like your friends and clients, sir

[@GTMarmot]

Really nice little bike. Love the seat

[@markarnold5593]

Woo Hoo..... Ha ha..... :-)

[@davidlax9454]

A b31 or 33

[@paulshackleton3594]

What happened to the ktm trials bike? :)

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

Ive still got it, got new tyres and a fork rebuild to do on it.

[@kergan1812]

Where’s the GS prize bike gone ??
