Delboy - Resin, copper and comments - Part 1

I have said this before , if Dell's doing how to video's that you dont agree with why dont you start doing how it should be done videos and put that motor mouth of yours to positive use?

[@dirtygarageguy]

I do. What are all the other 1280 videos about?

Have you even watched Delboy's videos? He spreads misinformation because he has no experience and is the pinnacle of amateur. Look at his recent videos on fibreglass, he has zero idea what he's doing. He also cannot accept that his shoddy workmanship is shit and chocks it up to 'looking asymmetrical' when it's fucking wonky.

[@darylsavage119]

Dell's use of fibreglass is what 1st made me watch del. I'm interested in DIY on my bikes and it's always been a dream to make my "OWN" After watching him do it it really put me off thinking this was normal. Watching your vids I see you point out a lot of flaws, something I've done myself when he incorrectly talks about electrical advice (trained electrician of 12 years here) and some of the other shitty tool reviews where he skews the results As a result I agree with the above poster but for different reasons.

[@simon2knine]

I think that you have changed the way that Del presents his videos...Now he mostly says this is how i do it and i am still learning where as before in his earlier video he would say this is how YOU should do it...Well done Matt.

This channel has introduced me to some of the best inadvertent comedy channels on the web. If a non-expert chooses to set himself up as an expert in the 'public square' and prove himself to be an idiot in public, you can hardly blame a person for pointing out the emperor has no clothes on. Laughed so much over this weekend since discovering this channel. Thanks Matt.

[@davidashbrook593]

Matt has got better and far more constructive things to do than spend so much time defending himself on this. He isn't picking on or bullying anyone. He's trying to stop people breaking there tools, wasting there money, damaging there bikes and unknowingly reading filtered comments after watching DEL video's. I havnt watched that many DEL vids but the how a gearbox works one was the last straw - WTF? I am happy for Matt to pick the gems out of the rest for me. If DEL doesn't want his videos pulling appart he just needs to do a bit more research, show his mistakes, stop editing comments and stop calling adverts reviews. Not being such a victim couldn't hurt either !

[@talbz001]

Exactly!! It would be absolutely fine if Del simply documented his projects and shared them with viewers saying "this is the way I did it".. But the fact that he offers uneducated 'how to' videos to impressionable people is the problem! As a KZbinr he has a responsibility to provide accurate advice / information, and that's all Matt is doing; calling Del out on the BS and in turn saving us viewers from making costly mistakes because of Del's poor advice.

[@GMak81]

Yep, you've summed it all up perfectly there.

[@hotshot2177]

I could claim the same as Del, I was a diesel fitter, did my apprenticeship 20 years ago. I fix my own cars and bike but I don't make how to vids because I don't know enough to teach people but I know abit I watched one of dels vids where he used loft insulation as exhaust packing! And his explanation made sense so I used insulation in a micron can I cut down. I thought about it and bought the correct stuff , says it all del nearly convinced me to used a totally inappropriate material with potentially dangerous consequences

[@roythearcher]

Agree here, especially when he shows the inapropriate use of power tools (Drill clamped in a vice FFS!) and wrong advice on how to re profile tools (screwdrivers, drill bits , ETC..) which can lead to dangerous situations and damage otherwise good tooling! for the sake of "Education"... The biggest thing with Del is he comes across as so utterly convinced that his methods are correct that many will be taken in by his crap!

watching Dels clip between 7:30 - 9:50 , Im absolutely shocked he has managed to gather 100k subs. he clearly / confidently expresses himself as a mechanically minded engineer with so much confidence and a history of knowledge backing up what hes saying.. But to a trained ear he sounds like someone who had a go at fixing his own motorcycle a few years back and got a little over confident and started to film it making it up as he goes along, I really feel sorry for the audience he has drawn in who get notified each time he decides to make something up and share it. There are many people on here that talk nonsense with confidence. the workshop is one of the only channels i can watch and agree with the information because Matt knows what hes talking about, I can feel his pain when he sees someones bills getting paid to tell 100K people that the fluid in a coolant system expands by 30% and we should all move to Evans so our water pumps are better lubricated lol

[@fonziyo]

Totally correct, watching you taking a piss out of a stupid guy IS funny, especially when you're right. I'm not saying you are lying on other stuff, personally i agree with everything you say.

Delboy and bollocks, name a more iconic duo. You cant.

[@BlakeEM]

I've watched Delboy's Garage for years (probably why you came up in my feed) and I will say that I have learned a few DIY metal fabrication tricks from him, not everyone can afford or have the room for a lathe or english wheel. The guy is better than anyone I've seen with the angle grinder. I don't watch the Q&A's and I don't watch his reviews so that's probably why I haven't seen this stuff. I watch a lot of DIY channels so I expect amature work that helps me learn what not to do. When I want to do something myself, like welding, I learn from the professionals (weld.com is awesome) and not Delboy just like I wouldn't want to learn fiberglassing from him since this was clearly his first time doing it. I started watching him when he did rat bikes so I never expected professional work. I remembered the comments controversy a while ago and that's crazy if he called the police on you. Some people don't know how to handle criticism. Talk is cheap, it may be better to make a video showing specifically what he did wrong and doing a project the correct way and compare the results. I've love to see this.

Del is also a liar, he lies about the most basic and unnecessary shit. I suggested he do a collab video with The Missenden Flyer, as he had said he would like to do a collab. He replied "is he a mechanic (etc) then, never heard of him". Then when he finally collabed with TMF, about 6 months later, Del stated he had been a sub of TMF's since the beginning of his channel. For someone to lie about something like that, really undermines every thing about his character and personality.

He also said while talking about collabs, for people to suggest people to collab with, but said, suggest people with 'a similar sub count' meaning he wouldn't waste his time with people who he thinks he couldn't gain subs from.

There are many ways to skin a cat... And many, many more ways NOT to skin a cat. These days, we're lucky enough to have KZbin and Google, where you're pretty hard-pressed to find the wrong ways - But from what I've seen, Delboy makes finding misinformation easier.

[@moderatefkr6666]

Delboy's biggest problem is that he failed to heed Clint Eastwood's advice about knowing your limitations. His persona is that of a humble conciliator, and his words generally convey that suggestion. But in reality he's a little bit greedy, and chooses to present himself as an expert in areas where he's clearly not. His use of language here betrays his true motives: to be respected as an expert or an authority on a subject. His problem is that he doesn't realise that he's frequently contradicting himself: "This is how you do it..." ('Expert' mode), then: "I'm not an expert, I'm just muddling through ... etc" (Fake humble mode) Anyone who has genuine experience in any given subject can generally expound on that subject at will. And an honest man will say: "This is how I was taught to do it. But if in a rush you can get away with doing it this way... etc" The general issue here is with guys. We live in a world of myths, and we are literally encouraged to bullshit our way through life, competing with other bullshitters, and trying to piss higher up the wall. There are loads of jobs I'm not expert at. There ae a few I'm very competent at. In the first group I will list: servicing carburettors (despite working in aircraft fuel systems on the experimental side), bricklaying, boatbuilding and chairmaking. So I will watch ANYONE who's having a go at any of those. In the second group I might include: copywriting, business analysis, intelligence analysis, working wood with hand tools and most aspects of motorcycle mechanics. But here again I regularly watch vids of people doing all these. Why? Because I'm hoping to find someone who knows more than me - from whom I can learn more. So, on the business side I rewatch my old heroes: Sir John Harvey Jones and Steve Jobs. The first was an MI6 asset and the latter the greatest business mind ever. For solid open source intelligence work, there's no one better than James Corbett. He collects the best and works it up better than anyone else. Richard D Hall is also very good. The best woodworkers are the Japanese. I can watch them all day long. There's an American lad who does some amazing restorations, but I watch too many to list. I also read the threads on forums. They're gold mines of experience. The trick is to sift. We all bring a bit of idiot to the party. The trick is to look out for the lesser idiot in others, be honest with your own limitations, and recall the mantras of smarter humans: Marcus Aurilius, Evelyn Beatrice Hall, Voltairine De Cleyre, Tesla, Jobs and of Course Clint Eastwood. ;))

I can't stop thinking about the engine break-in video and your comment on how bogging down an engine puts strain on the engine. I can't figure out how that works. Can you go into detail about what is happening when an engine is bogging down?

[@MrKdr500]

bogging down is exactly that, the engine is trying to rev but it's being held back (steep hill in a high gear at low revs) which results in the crank & big end bearings being heavily stressed not to mention the piston side wall/cylinder damage that can also happen.

[@rationalmartian]

Think about the stresses on your legs on a push iron under the same circumstances, in a high gear going up a steep hill. Kind of gives an understandable/relatable idea of the stresses involved. Not perfect, but reasonably analogous.

[@brotherpong8494]

I seem to remember Matt briefly touching on this in another video....but it's partly to do with lubrication in hydrodynamic (plain) bearings. To put it very simply, the combination of high load (throttle) and low rpm's gives you the thinnest oil wedge between the bearings and journals. That layer of oil is what keeps the two surfaces apart, but since surfaces in real life are never perfectly smooth, the thinner the oil film is, the more likely that surface irregularities can contact resulting in wear. A thicker oil film gives you a larger safety buffer. Lower load increases the thickness (has to do with how the journal 'rides' in the bearing), as does higher rpm's. There's much more to it of course, like oil viscosity and temperature, and things you can do with the engine oil to reduce wear when oil thickness gets low (antiwear additives), but load and rpm's are something you can control at any time with your right wrist. Search for 'hydrodynamic bearings and oil film thickness' as a start. Be warned, most of the stuff is engineering speak.

[@untrainedprofessionals2374]

If only there was a platform Delboy could use to reply. I also think Dels channel has received a boost in views from The Workshop. I know I had to check him out for myself. There is no end of material that could be used. I think you have been very thoughtful about what you have presented on your channel. Like I said at the beginning he does have the right to reply. I guess it's not his style. He seems to be a bit of a weasel the way he has conducted himself.

Good video Matt, looking forward to part 2.

I wholly standby DungBalls right to freedom of speech (or anyones for that matter) but I also disagree with his spread of misinformation and lies (the EBC comment he made was a particular gem). As an engineer myself I find it infuriating that he dishes out this rubbish, but what concerns me is how many of his subscribers (judging by the positive comments on his channel) lap it up as if it's gospel and will possibly go on to carry out dangerous workshop practices and I'm sure many other people share that view. DelicateBoys comments aside, could you please do a video on how to help prevent corrosion on a motorcycle (or link me to a previous video of yours, I did look but couldn't find one).

Well to be honest I watch his videos because I had bought a bike and wanted to know how to do the basic things like wash the bike, adjust the chain and stuff like that, and to be honest most of the time I ended up watching most of the Indian videos to get the answers I needed go figures, but initially I did find the bike build video series he was doing quite interesting and it never occurred to me that most of what he was saying was bullshit, because I am someone who didn't know better (when it comes to engine mechanics and how engines work), when it comes to bikes, however I do know the basics about engineering even though I am not a trained engineer, sorry if I come across as ignorant but I am not stupid, you don't need to be a genius or sorry a trained engineer to know when fibre-glassing you are supposed to make master mold from the initial sculpt, and from that master mold cast a just for instance a version of the tail in a more substancial material like plaster and paris or plastic, then from that cast version create the inner mold and outer mold for the tail unit of which will be used for the fibre glass, then fibre glass each half using a vaccume chanber to suck out all of the air and cure over night, once dry glue each half together and finish, then your pretty much done but hell none of that he does it on his bench, I mean the fucker will be riddled with air bubbles (and just so you know, that is what I would do if I was to try and fibre model something not necessarily with fibreglass to get a relatively good result, I would imagine to fibreglass wouldn't be much different from that for the professionals) yet I still watch some of his videos even though I realise most of his practices are shit some of what he is doing is some what interesting to me and entertaining even if I woud have done it differently.

BAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHA what kind of biker acts like a teenage girl?!?!?! he called the police BAHSAHAHAHAHAHA

[@johndavis9817]

is the ability to flow not the measurement of viscosity ?

[@shaun9107]

AvE told his viewers how to flag , after that , he got flagged here & there . Matt there are wankers who live on there computers day in day out . Its not worth it

[@shaun9107]

Yeah lol , Tex Tex Tex

[@shaun9107]

I get that myself mate lol wtf

[@frzen]

I probably would have put copper grease on the back of brake pads otherwise. It's a safety thing. Or saying acf 50 isn't good and to use the water based stuff, you could wreck someones bike... do whatever you want. he did try to close your channel and sent the police to you, that is out of order.. del could have a nice little channel if he just put up his hands and said things got a bit out of hand let's start over

[@roythearcher]

I recently made a brief comment about his bike parking on his vid about fixing "Penelope pitstop"'s gear lever, mentioning the time it took to do a simple fix and it simply went over his head that I was actually taking the piss about how long it took but, Oh well.... like you say, "you can't teach stupid"!

[@phildavis42]

Why do you have to pick on Delboys garage? All I can see is that he is putting stuff in laymans terms, a spade is a spade.

[@dirtygarageguy]

Never mind, you're too late to the party

[@woodysambusa]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4m6aoCmdrCYl7s you didn't know this matt at 17.00 mins don't know if this link works but its delbollox bleeding triumph tiger brakes

[@dirtygarageguy]

no it doesn't work

[@TheWebstaff]

Well this is a rant and a half.. I see smokings not helping with the stress levels.. :D TBH and I said this on one off Delboys videos I actually like the look of that bike he's building, its just the right amount of funky for my liking.. But unfortunately is also the wrong amount of funky going into it.. So why not wait now until he's 'finished it' and then just give us a few specials or build your own bike but done with a bit of foresight and knowledge.. As for me I'm starting to get a bit bored with the whole drama it's like a pair of kids bickering trying to get there parents onside, I don't mind the style of these type of vids though, the r3 video for example was good but the stuff with delboy.. meh. It's dragging now. It's time to, turn the other cheek Mathew.. then Jesus would approve.. xD

[@johnpersonage7220]

Jeez some of these guys moaning about how you do a review or the style you do your videos in make me laugh. They should check out the Angry Video Game Nerd guy.

[@defaultdriftco00]

I hope he hasn’t engineered anything to do with safety, say a bridge or something 🧐

[@dowser81]

I don’t think enough people have been wishing him luck like he keeps asking for, because he certainly ain’t had any when you see the monstrosity he is making of that poor bike.

[@pixel406]

I had never heard of Dell until I started watching your channel, ironically Iv'e subscribed to his so I can keep up with events.. I only ever made one comment on his vids asking why he never seemed to measure anything, and fuck me if the wasn't a set of calipers in the next vid..Don't I feel important!

[@mshemilt2858]

You can't educate a pork chop!!

[@wildracoon666]

He did this outside with limited tools !

[@dreddwailing6395]

If you told me not to make a lopsided bog seat out of Isopon I would just ignore you, thanks to the diversity of KZbin I can see why it's not such a good idea. When's the final rectifier vid up?

[@sirtnfol8476]

Matt does video, Dels subs go up. Then back down again.

[@benjamindavidson632]

Matthews going to a trekky convention

[@steveclark..]

None of us can be perfect or correct 100% of the time but going by what I've seen, my opinion is that Del is more to blame here for the following reasons: 1. Stating that EBC tell customers to spread copper grease over their pads in the first place. 2. Trying to shut down another mans channel. 3. Getting the Police involved. 4. Altering/deleting the comments under his videos. If he feels that Matt is so wrong in criticising the way he's showing/teaching others how to do stuff, why hasn't he done a dedicated video in reply?? When I first stumbled across a Del video years ago, I assumed that he were a fully trained bike mechanic, overall the content looked professional and he did come out with a good tip or two that I had previously learnt from a seasoned mechanic. After seeing the clip on TV, where he admits that he's a bus driver, it makes me wonder why he gave up being a diesel fitter then?

[@BatterseaBill]

Freespecch.

[@woodysambusa]

bleeding triumph tiger brakes its in his video list at 17. 00 showing his ignorance lol
