Firing up a 1933 Cotton.. with a cabling lesson included!

Another workshop update from the man who never stands still! 😅
With the 1938 OK Supreme's frame having been disassembled for some TLC (courtesy of Robin), Sammy shows a glimpse of the task in store for the workshop team upon its return.
Our attention then turns to the 1933 Cotton. With the bike almost in working order, get ready for a free lesson in how to fit a front brake cable. Don't forget to stick around for the fire-up near the end of the video! 🔥
Also included is a tour of Sam's arsenal of hammers! 🔨
We hope you enjoy!

What a legend, roll model of postive attitude, and never give up attitude, Sammy Miller.

[@michaelglynn2638]

Old fella told me when I started work early seventies, "you can always tell a good sheet metalworker by the number of different hammers he owns" Great video once again 👍

[@lydwood]

Fascinating insight into the workshops of this legendary man, please keep the videos coming. Respect!

[@mikecartlidge5355]

I was lucky enough to get a venhill dealer cable making kit from a place that was closing down. It contained everything you need to make your own cables, inner and outer wires as well as the nylon sleeve on the roll. Every type of brass nipple and an inlay card on the inside of the box with the part numbers for re ordering from Venhill. The kit even included a great pair of side cutters for cutting the inner wire.

Can’t wait to see the Cotton completed. They were so trim and compact ....

What a great video, my Dad has many different hammers in his shed for when he used to do copper and lead work in his plumbing days, many thanks, great entertainment

[@geneahart5607]

Sammy is unbelievable!

[@rickfazzini22]

Your Golden Sammy! Thanks for posting these videos..

[@monticlassictv]

If ever there was a place on the planet to be locked down if you were a motorcycle guy then what better place than Sammy’s Museum with more than 400+ bikes to play around with.

[@routmaster38]

Very nice to see the so familiar things and methods he uses in his workshop.reminds me of many jobs I did in the past.As long retired and living in a flat I miss having a bike to potter about on and fettle!

[@graemebowyer4901]

another really enjoyable vdeo, well done.

Another very informative video Love watching these thanks again

[@tadpoles10]

Great stuff Sammy, once again bought back memories of fitting/repairing cables. Stay safe atvb t ..

[@chrismccartney8668]

Like all great riders he knows the vehicles intimately and how they work

[@pkg996]

Sammy, we know you're at your happiest in the garage or on a bike, but I think you giving us a tour of your trophy display would ne nice for your fans. What do you think, guys?

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

I have just watched all the clips can we have some more PLEASE! - Stay Safe

[@collarge]

You could do a whole series on just Sam starting them up one by one, there is race the bike in there with the first YPVS power valve system system I would love to hear running. All of them have different ways of starting and quirks.

[@JohnBennett-cw1ri]

Never thought I’d disagree with anything bike related that Sammy had to say. Acidic soldering flux should never be used on Bowden cables. Capillary action will draw the liquid acid into the lay of the cable and no amount of rinsing will remove it. Always, always use a passive soldering flux.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Wonderful Art of Craft! Thank you Sir for sharing! I subscribed and looking foreward to your next Videos. Stay safe&healthy by all means :-)

[@sixtyshippee]

Still find Sam amazing from watching him ride in the fiftys and sixtys when i was youngster to then riding occassionaly in the same trial in late sixtys as you could ride in the same events as the stars then even though by then he was in his final championship years he was still the man that everybody wanted to see and the crowd would follow , Then i drifted into other branches of the sport coming back to Trials in the nineties with my two youngsters, Sam still there every week ussually winning the pre 65 class in Southern centre events and still being watched by the youngsters , Of course by then he had other interests like the museum going from strength to strength now 20 odd years later that enthusiasm is still there the man is unique . He once wrote a Book called The Will to win he still has it in bucketloads.

[@frankie5341]

Lovely interesting vid and to hear the engine first start, it lives it breathes. Question Sammy, did you know anyone that lived in Woking ?, who overtook an L plated babe on a tigercub think it was top spec Trials Ossa or Bultaco with the front wheel in the air. Could have been mid to late sixties, just asking.

I find him very hard to watch, he seems to be a very impatient man, a bit scatterbrained, I pity the camera person.

[@davidhayward5207]

A lot of clanking newly painted parts together and hurried dismantling of old stuff...

[@k13ehr]

@@davidhayward5207 Yes, it's like he was in a bad temper, and didn't care if he damaged anything, maybe he's going loopy.

Nah, you might be scatterbrained, he is very watchable, maybe you want background music 🙄
