Where'd you go to do the cutouts

[@bradleyban]

Someone sponsor this guys and get him some equipment. Super impressive dude nice work!!

[@gordonagent7037]

Totally agree, his work and ideas deserve sponsorship

[@Ghostman86]

I also agree. Really, really good work. You can tell this guy takes pride in his work, something that's usually lost on the younger generations it seems.

[@Jack-wc3ob]

His planning and home made jigs and templates is so badass. Much better work than some others on KZbin

[@helmuteberhard344]

Professional equipment is an insult for artists like him

[@altonb93]

Especially a mandrel tubing bender😬

[@j.w.3345]

Great design, incredible talent!! I'm a 62 year old kid, sooo....It looks like I'm going to have to make room for a new project!

[@homemade_madness]

Nice!🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@jimjohnson1304]

The planning and technical forethought of this build really sets it apart. I just found your channel and I gotta say, you are one impressive fabricator.

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks😎

[@homemade_madness]

All plans wil be available at the end of the series🤟🏼 im thinking 25$ will be a fair price, since it took a lot of work to make them. Im using 35mm tube, but there will also ba a set for 1 1/2 tubing. Thanks for the support everyone!✌🏻

[@dog4579]

Quick question: how tall are you?

[@homemade_madness]

195cm

[@dog4579]

@@homemade_madness ohhh nice soo I would fit in too if I build one my self! Thanks for the information!

[@dog4579]

Btw what kind of engine you are going to put in it?

[@josiahhein6036]

This is awesome! I can't wait to build one! What are you going to be using for the rear axle? Something custom or some axle shafts attached to tubing with a gear drive?

[@pink_love_cat4928]

Man i can not imagine the amount of work you must have had to put into making those plans thank you for sharing with us all the hard work you have done we greatly appreciate everything

[@onefortheroad2291]

The results would be impressive for any fab shop. The idea this kid is doing all of this with such minimal tools is remarkable! You need to hit up some of the tool suppliers and get some level of sponsorship. What you’d be able to achieve with a decently equipped shop would be insane!

[@brian856]

My favorite part of this whole series so far is you using the level as a hammer. Looking forward to the next vids

[@homemade_madness]

😅😅😅

[@austinansell1149]

When your a fabricator everything in reach is a hammer😂

[@keithviolette5870]

Very impressive engineering, fixturing and fabrication. Keep up the great videos! There was one part that made me cringe - when you used the level as a hammer to align the rear upper shock posts.

[@josiahhein6036]

I laughed at that part 😂😂😊

[@antoniocarlosrnascimento6280]

Oh boy, Me too. I care for my tools.

[@QuadDoc]

This is very impressive, the amount of things you can get done with just minimal tools is amazing! Great JOB!!

[@electricdeckhead3083]

can't wait for these plans, thankyou for taking the time, I'm in outback Australia and have plenty of room for toys like this.

[@jasonjohnstone686]

Looking forward to part 3. Thanks for sharing your plans with us.

[@Rethanos]

I'm irrationally excited for this series

[@OliverMotorized]

I love the thought that went into this project. Great job!

[@vmoreira1978]

Those weldings without gloves make me chills 😂 Brilliant job dude, as always!

[@fredericrike5974]

Great work with a minimum amount of equipment and very straight forward methodology. I thought your "lift the frame" to set up the front lower A frame at an angle (to get some anti dive?) was inspired. Hope you are headed to a really good engineering school- you have the right sort of mind and a genius for practical application!

[@victor440_]

Nice work man I definitely want a set of plans when they are available. hell yeah.

[@nickvdavis123]

Awesome work. The definition of measure twice and cut once.

[@heartsky]

This here is some serious can-do skill, great job, inspiring to see!

[@frankthomson3693]

Wow really impressive, I really admire anyone whohas the engineering talent you display, keep up the good work

[@Maverick-px8ir]

As a fellow gear head, I can sit and watch this all day.

[@Aastan]

This is the first video of yours that I came across. I'll finish it and then go back and start from the beginning. What you do is inspirational to me, as I want to design and build my vehicle projects. Good on ya!

[@TrojanHorse1959]

Making progress and looking good, thank you!

[@dumbasscountryboy]

Man I really like this build!! I will definitely be buying the plans to build one my friend so keep up the good work and god bless you!!

[@mikehericks933]

You are an impressive young man. I'm a 60+ motorsports fan and am looking forward to building your crosscart for my nieces. Amazing job. Keep up the good work!!

[@donchristianson3153]

This guy is one hell of a good fabricator !!!!!! Hats off to ya 👍👍👍😊

[@lennym1273]

Looking pretty good, I like the paper cut out's idea, looks like it works...

[@matthansen736]

I love that metal lathe you made! I'm gonna have to make one now but controlled with a VFD

[@TopoPilot]

I just found your channel. You are one talented young man. I don't know if you realize how inspiring you are to so many of us. Cheers from the Pacific Northwest in the USA. Sub'd.

[@ogoranumbor2777]

Neat and awesome work, very easy to follow your build! You actually make building this beast look so freaking easy!

[@XSMotorWorks]

Love the build detail. I’m currently making a Hybrid Cross Kart and was wondering how you came up with your suspension geometry.

[@jackward7646]

I'll be waiting for the plans to come out, can't wait. Your awesome, keep up the good work

[@elikinder1506]

He does a great job on his angles which I have never seen the sleeve used like that. Really a good idea. The guy has some talent for sure. I am really impressed.

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks😁

[@paratroopermccown7335]

Awesome video, After looking and watching, almost All day I finally found this 1. Great in depth and step by step, easy to fallow.

[@byronlovesdrifting1]

SO appreciate you making these plans available. As soon as my shop is done ill be starting this project, trying to decide between all electric or hybrid electric, will depend on what i end up getting for range. Either way excited to be able to finally build something i saw a video for lol

Looks great, would love to build one someday

[@tonyfowle6757]

Outstanding young fella, I agree someone sponsor him, he has talent.

[@WildfoxFabrication]

ill be using some of these techniques while building my dune buggy. nice video 👍

[@sorte18]

We are all impressed... and salivating.... MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!

[@anthonybrown7959]

Absolutely fantastic once again 👏

[@Melw44]

Subscribed cant wait for more. Looks great so far!

[@gaborsvt]

A well made video! Great job. The good thing is once your done you can take it for a spin!!!

[@bigc7t]

I love the rear shock idea, you could probably get some cool spring that fit over the bike shock and make your own coilovers

[@garygraham105]

Really nice work. Count me in. Near the end of this video, consider using a "high misalignment" bushing for the rod end where the bolt head is in the way. The bushings fit into the spherical rod end and allow the sphere to turn a couple more degrees for more angle (up to 30*). This type of bushing will typically reduce the size of the fastening bolt by 1 size. I used this type of bushings on my CBR1000F leaning trike.

[@deadslow201]

You should also reconsider front shock upper brackets design. Add a vertical pipe between lower frame and mid frame. And make a triangular bracket for front shock, and weld that bracket to the vertical pipe. (The same way you have made rear suspension arm mounting points.)

[@ptreeau1]

Great job love the idear or using the front shocks for the rear suspension brilliant..Love your welding helmet i have one just the same.Like your home made lathe you need to build a bench to get it up off the floor.Love your work..

[@garageguy5174]

No questions asked it’s awesome, great vids too!!

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Using motorcycle forks for rear suspension is a cool idea. I would have never thought of that. Guess that’s why I’m watching your vid and you’re not watching mine.

[@usmcmma]

Subbed and like this whole series!!! Great job!

[@russellafowler7403]

Thank You again for your time !

[@tomwagemans1872]

Nice build! Can I give you a tip for welding galvanized bolts or nuts? Just let them soak in a water and citric acid. You can buy the acid as a powder for cleaning coffee machines. You will get much beter welds this way. Greetings from Belgium.

[@Ghostman86]

Excellent work my man!! Your good, and I should know, I'm a welder/fabricator myself. Awesome job. Keep up the good work!

[@nogard3238]

Nice job, young man. Very professional. Gongrats!

[@Headup240]

If anyone is interested, once the plans are released, I can CNC plasma cut all of the flat brackets and ship out as a single package.

[@willyorraw5480]

How much would that cost?

[@davidbrooks1360]

Stuart where are you located?

[@danielk810]

Stuart, I'm interested. can you give us an estimate and lead time?

[@JacobNegRay]

Are you still offering this?

[@theinventionshow]

my goal is to be as good as you.keep up the great work

[@Epiphalactic]

Will def get your plans if I can make building one feesable. Nice work. Looks great.

I really liked your blue frog project with use of patterns to cut tube joins. Now this project documented with plans and videos is a must. Sure you will have more subscribers with such quality. I will definitely buy plans for it, also plans for blue frog if available one day.

Ik sta weer versteld en mooi gefilmd ook, top👍😊

[@victorfakiolas]

great job over there!!!! 25 bucks is a fair price!! keep going!!!

[@mnice59]

Wow, considering all the incompetency exposed here in the US this year you have renewed my faith in mankind. I'm quite a bit older than you but our standard was what yours is. My father and probably your grandfather fought for your standards for the whole world. It is so sad how much of it has been squandered away here in 60 years. Keep safe and healthy and thanks so much for sharing.

Looking nice so far

[@gordonagent7037]

Really appreciate your updates on the time line. Now that you have your new lathe built I imagine you may be able to use it and also make improvements where you can. Have you done a short video on yourself, just introduce yourself, where you live, work or at school, occupation, influences etc as it would be nice to meet you

[@alistairfurnell126]

I think I will be coming back for more, you and Mike Festiva have a lot of the same,New Zealand

[@turbofan67]

Love the design and the methods of manufacture, and admire your skills. As a motorcyclist, I have to let you know that the road bike forks you are using for the rear suspension only have about 100mm of travel before the spring binds and bottoms out. If you want to get the full travel from your A-arms, you will have to use dirt bike forks that have about 250mm of travel. Top job though, well done.

[@user-wq8oh2bx3m]

Very good my friend

[@DutchMaartenNL]

Lekker bezig man! Ben zelf bezig met een 900cc zitmaaier project. Ga zo door.

[@AMERICA_gunexpert]

[@albertsalas9154]

I'm subscribing.. I just found your channel, and all i have got to say it's good job sir 👏

[@raznkane1]

The plans will be great and I can't wait but have you thought about plans for the tube bender and lathe? I watched the bender video but plans would be awesome and not many people have access to a lathe. Maybe a package deal with the cart plans at a higher price?

[@michaelosullivan8119]

Nice build ever seen and wish one day of put in 250cc 4stroke motor in to be sweet ride one of theses would be more fun to have a blast along the dunes awesome plan buddy keep it up with many more descent builds cheers

[@budvoltage2992]

Thanks Bro, I get knowledge from your project💡👍👍👍

[@budvoltage2992]

wear gloves bro😎

[@MCNeurotiK]

This man is a GOD with an angle grinder!

[@danielbadel1226]

Excellent work! What's the quad for the front shocks?

[@maciejkorolczuk2804]

Great project, great and hard work.Im waiting for rest. About your suspension, why you use onroad bike forks? Are they not too soft? Why not offroad bke front and rear? Any motocross bikes, and you have extra options to make it better if you change springs for harder and you can change rebound and compression adjustment.

[@Maubere-reac]

Very nice👍
