Heavy Duty Bike Repair Stand / Lift Crane

[@PhilVandelay]

Hey Everyone, guess this is the first time I actually adress my viewers ;) First of all, Thanks for 10.000 Subs. Didn't expect this to take off like that but that's awesome. Secondly, it would be cool to hear some opinions on whether I should add voiceovers/more explanation for more complex builds like this, or stick with just showing the work and keep it snappy. Either way, more videos are on the way. Stay tuned!

[@JRScience]

Congrats on the 10K subs! I actually just subscribed to you within the last month. I would love to hear voice over for complex builds like this. I like your videos regardless but I think explanation would only add to it. Keep up the amazing work!

[@pepsijazz462]

Don't listen to Josh Russell keep them silent

[@mrMacGoover]

It would have been nice if you explained where you got the hardware..(gears) from and where your idea(s)/ inspiration for this project came from.

[@johnnyalaska85]

Meiner Meinung nach am besten so lassen. Kanäle mit nervigem Geschwafel gibts genug und du filmst die Schritte ja sehr präzise ab, da brauchst du nichts erklären. Und vor allem keine furchtbare KZbin hintergrundmusik einfügen!

[@krysrictus]

No voice over! PLEASE!! And if you choose to add some explanation , can you just do it with text (or subtitles)on screen?

[@hollidayquezada8954]

Beautiful. Reminds me of the 40’s when everything was so robust and metal. And you made it beautiful, sleek, and strong!

[@Emerald.Phoenix]

This was a work of art and absolute pleasure to watch. Well done sir.

[@mrMacGoover]

Your a Tig welding King! It takes true talent to dream up stuff like this, Nice job!

[@gabiold]

And I thought I am the only one who always hate those wobbly bike stands! Finally you made a proper stand! Those wobbly stands are super inconvenient to use for almost any bike work. This is a great design, you have great machining skills!

[@loxinvisible]

I'm a huge fan of function over aesthetic, but that is a work of art that is also a functional machine!

[@369dusty]

Best bike stand there is !!!! Great job, sturdy, innovative, and it will last forever !!!

[@rickdeckard9810]

Must be so rewarding to be able to build something better than what you can buy in stores.

[@GrandMallDancer-ei6vx]

Oh man what a piece of work ! , you have all the toys, your machine work, beautiful welds on real steel, and wheels, (more steel), gears?, oh wait, needed lower gears, probably for the optional clamp for Jacob's motorcycle !..You sure make that look easy, like one day when you were about 9 your dad said , " son, I wanna show you something out in my shop".....

[@MadeInGarage]

Very clean work and utility! To repair a bike, think myself doing the same.

[@metaspencer]

What a cool build. It's great to see you work, and the geared ratcheting mechanism is brilliant.

[@Kraftmade]

No way! Building a bike repair stand was the next project on my list to build and make a video on! I really love it, great job!

[@orpheusstephens3096]

It’s brilliant beyond words.

[@williamoverton7265]

Excellent craftsmanship

[@RobertAdams-ly5ku]

You have a great talent, and are a great engineer, a pleasure to watch

Excellent, good methodical work, very interesting to watch.

now that is a professional stand! I want to make one!

[@mooodadven3180]

good job man. very nice, quietly and perfect job. No stupid music with work, No BLA BLA BLA,,just work. wel done man, thanks for this beutifull video.

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Beautiful execution of a well thought out design, very impressive ! Good job well done.

[@andyb7963]

Absolutely brilliant, I need a stand like that for my ebike so I'm going to build something similar to this, thanks for the inspiration!

[@PhilVandelay]

I'm going to build an even better, motorized version of this lift soon-ish and it will also come with plans. Just a heads-up :)

[@dasbull0101]

Just came across your videos this morning and I have to say I'm inspired! Thank you.

[@pakivalerio69]

This is a high engineering accomplishment. You started with nothing, and then ....Congratulations. It is not a thing for everyone. Questa è una realizzazione di alta ingegneria. Sei partito con niente, e poi....Complimenti. Non è una cosa da tutti.

[@fernandoao335]

I love the delicacy of your welding

Please, post the list of materials. Excellent work, very professional

[@Pushyhog]

My favorite channel. I need something for picking up my velomobiels, already made two molded saddles of fiberglass/carbon on belly. This vid could give me some ideas. It needs to be cantilevered out so i can get totally under it and work.

[@PhilVandelay]

I'm actually 90% sure I will revisit this build in the foreseeable future and build a better version. It's not that I'm unhappy with it, but I can think of so many things to improve. One thing is what you said, I want to somehow make a stand that takes up less space in front of it. I might also motorize the lifting...

[@anthonydibiase3373]

Good Welding and Great Design

[@kmclen1565]

You have mad skills, I only strive for the quality of your builds but seldom accomplish what you have! Keep up the great work !!

[@doylerabjohn3435]

Nice work.... I am getting ready to build a bike stand out of black pipe. Only if I could weld....I could build something to that degree. Extraordinary work.

[@PhilVandelay]

Give it a try if you can! I learned welding by watching KZbin, I think anyone can learn it. There's also an updated version of the bike crane on my channel if you're interested

[@doylerabjohn3435]

@@PhilVandelay Thanks, I will look for that video

[@billbaggins9961]

Nice design and well crafted, great job!

[@pepsijazz462]

Those are some dank tunes in the background, I'd love to see a playlist of em

[@paulrose4201]

I am a car mechanic we use what is essentially huge versions of what he just made. It would be cool to make it motorized with a detached control panel to operate it.

[@PhilVandelay]

It's funny you mention that because I'm actually planning a new version of this lift that will do exactly that! It will also be much beefier and able to lift more weight. Probably not enough to lift a car ;) But enough to lift very heavy bikes, or myself, hopefully

[@rickc2222]

This is pretty awesome. I've been thinking about doing a low labor cost version by trying a park tool clamp welded onto a harbor freight 1 ton shop hoist - simple hydraulic lift. or just a bar with 2 hooks and just suspend the bike...

[@emilmuhrman]

Nice bicycle stand.

[@michaelhayward7572]

Bloody hell! Fantastic.

Are there drawings or a plan available?

GENIOUS!!! BETTER WITHOUT VOICEOVER - CREATES SORT OF A MYSTERY

[@Kantemul]

Hey Phil ! Nice job, thanks for sharing ! For me it's cool like this, with some text sometimes. I liked the fun you put by the choice of your music !

Will you sell one just like that one

[@matiasnggonzalez145]

Excellent job sr!!!

[@adamputu5448]

Regular Bike Repair Stand / Normal Repair Stand Da Best Than This Heavyweight Bike Repair Stand

[@AnibalAlejandroRodriguezGutier]

master piece !!!!

[@felipecolima]

this is Awesome !!!!!!!! Great build

[@dc85337]

Isn't there a way to make the crank handle stationary in a low position then use bike chain to cause the assy. to rise? Just like peddling a bike, the chain goes round and round and so does the wheel (so does the lift) with only minor modifications. Magnificent build, by the way.

[@PhilVandelay]

I'm actually currently working on a motorized version of this general concept that's also much beefier (can lift me, so should lift any bike)

[@preciousmelgar4419]

Nice work

[@reneooms2865]

Do you have a plan of this?

[@rustbucketbicycles1576]

Now please tell me where I can buy one? I really need something really heavy duty!

Отличное видео. Приятная работа. Прямые руки.

[@albeirorodriguez9786]

su trabajo supera las herramientas del mercado para este fin

[@MHH3180]

So, what would you need to make one for me?

[@vincentdasilva1488]

Great work. You are really smart and have great ideas.

[@deehines5750]

This is is exactly what I need for my ebike! Why is something like this impossible to find?

[@uradumby25]

What size tubing did you use to get the square tubing to fit so well inside eachother? Usually there is a decent gap

[@PhilVandelay]

I think it was 45x2mm and 50x2mm so a 0,5mm gap on each side which worked fine in this case

[@corysell6048]

Nice welding and execution. I understood what was going on without a voice over. I just have one suggestion, and that is to add a secondary lock to the vertical lift portion. It looks pretty solid, but the gear teeth could cam out and slip. Makes me want to weld something....

[@davidchuquimiamoya7382]

Que buen soporte para bicicleta. Quisiera tener uno así. Haces envíos? Gracias

[@ivanlopezroldan]

¡Fantástico! Excelente trabajo.

[@TheConcreteBox]

Wow! That was an awesome video. I love your attention to detail. It really makes me want to up my game on my welding videos.

[@Ko6pa]

Dat welding skills ! Awesome work and idea, man !

[@vasek987]

Really nice work but there is one thing I am completely missing the point - why welding the wheels to the frame when they can be easilly bolted on and off in case you need it - e.g. one of them breaks...

[@narindersingh-gw4fp]

Good efforts

[@orontius-oroetecnica3539]

Ciao, i tubi argentati sono in acciaio? e la barra dentata invece? Grazie

[@ermosho]

What kind of welding is that?

[@PhilVandelay]

TIG Welding!

[@mikeflanigan4896]

Really clever, love it. I like the video style just the way it is.

[@thecorbies]

Hi Phil. Re' whether to voice over or not? I think 80% no - a video is more universal that way; so long as there is enough info text on screen (or maybe in the description) to cover the project. And 20% yes - because I think the viewer gets a better understanding of the video maker, PLUS, you can add spoken comments that might be forgotten in text. NOT saying that YOU did this, but I feel that once a given hole is drilled/a flat is milled/a fillet is welded/etc., the viewer doesn't need to see all the other 10, 12, 20 repeats, so speeded up footage is marvellous there. Time lapse can also work well for extended duration projects. Either way, I'll certainly keep watching having just come across your channel (looking for 'windscreen motor chain hoist drive'), and binge watching maybe 8 of your back catalogue, PLUS I just subscribed. I also think that a list of items and maybe sources would be great, and, you might want to consider the 'affiliate links' possibility. Regards Mark in the UK

[@abuubaydullah1]

Your welding is a credit to you,the stand well very nicely put together, to me its a bit over kill but i work on cars,but its a credit to your skills.

[@reneooms2865]

Please can i have a plan of this stand?

[@PhilVandelay]

Sorry I only have plans for the new version you can find on my Channel

[@jen3800]

amazing. how much did it cost you?

[@PhilVandelay]

It was a long time ago so I'm not sure, but it's mostly standard mild steel stock so not too expensive. Maybe 200€

[@joono9476]

Nicely done! It still looks a bit wobbly towards the top. If you are able to drill on the ceiling, maybe install some sort of sturdy pipe that you can lodge into them in multiple locations if you have more than one build site. just my 2 cents if you want it more stable. otherwise awesome build.

[@PhilVandelay]

Yeah having it be mobile is definitely a tradeoff with stability. Not too many options without either fixing it to something like you said, using a large base (gets in the way) or putting lots of weight on the bottom. I'm currently planning a new crane that will be a compromise, being somewhat mobile but mostly stationary, with a big steel plate as the base. My shop is so small that unfortunately installing it in a fixed position doesn't work because I move stuff around all the time. I can report it's never fallen over so far though. But almost...

[@tastyfishsauce4410]

Very impressive build, even more impressive and to some point distracting are your awesome shop equipment specially your welder. OMG that welder/skill combo. What kind of welder do you use?

[@PhilVandelay]

If you mean the type of welder, it's a TIG welder but I actually don't even consider myself to be that good at it. It's just that with TIG welds usually come out cleaner looking than with other processes like MIG

[@tastyfishsauce4410]

@@PhilVandelay Thanks for the reply, your weld job is very clean in my opinion and this build is still tops, I'm now watching your new build with the electric winch. You mention something about ovebuilding, to me it means pride in ones work and buildiing something that is meant to last and not necessarily profit driven. Good job.

[@MrMalthusMusic]

Really clean and well thought out build mate, I really enjoyed the video. I don't feel that the lack of voice over detracted at all from the video, you showed plenty of detail and each scene was well shot. Will definitely be borrowing some of your ideas for my own bike repair stand :)

Welding or art? Really good. Fun to watch, too
