[@hananas2]

Paul, to me one of the most important things you've done is sharing much of your expertise with younger people, and the public in general. I hate when someone spends their life discovering, learning and refining certain techniques, only for all that incredible knowledge and skill to inevitably get lost one day. I have a lotta respect for people like you who are willing to share so openly. Thank you.

[@oleg..]

Thank you, Paul and Mitch.

[@criticalmass181]

Glad to see you, Paul. I was thinking about you, the other day, and wondering if you were OK.

[@arthurmiller-vl6sw]

Glad to have you back Paul. Watching now.

[@petergriffiths799]

Thanks for the video Paul and Mitch. Keep on with the getting well Paul. Always happy to hear your stories.

[@murdoc6501]

Thank you for the update. Your positive attitude dealing with your situation is inspiring and humbling. "Shop Talk/Stories" with your friends and fabricators is a great idea! All the ideas are excellent! Prayers for your health. Go Paul and Mitch, keep moving forward!

[@OldSlow]

Best wishes, get well!

[@danielplumtree366]

nice to see you Paul. good luck in your recovery. loved that shop when I was able to visit.

[@petermumford68]

Great that you have been able to put something out, I’m glad to watch anything cycle, motorbikes, or Bass for that matter all are interesting. The main thing for you is your health, and I with you well.

[@christopherbeauchemin180]

Paul, thank you for the update. Looking forward to following along as you recover. Get well soon!

[@jackpledger8118]

Glad to see you back Paul...get well soon.

[@BicyclesbyJurgen]

Hey Mr Brodie!!!🙌🙌🙌 I just want to thank you! You have motivated and inspired me to build bicycles and your Brazing 101 videos were the ground work for my gas welding skills I always return to them. I am excited for when you are back and feeling strong enough to take on another job in the shop!🙏 Sending strength, prayers and good thoughts your way

[@arnoldrios1606]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@grahamcassidy6050]

Glad to hear you’re continuing to get better, and still able to share the knowledge you have mastered over the years. One thing I’d love to hear about is your involvement in the observed trials community and the different trials projects you’ve worked on over the years. My father has a ‘67 Mountain Cub, and we both really enjoyed following the build, and would love to hear an update on yours. Thanks Paul and Mitch, keep getting better and thanks for all the amazing content! ❤

[@whateverbikes]

Like probably all here, I admire and appreciate your bicycle building skills (not a fan of motorcycles, sorry), but much more than that I like you as person. You're kind, sharing, warm and wise. Wishing only good things for you, Paul.

[@christianmccollum1028]

Hoping your fight lends you more time to do the things you love. We love watching you work, Paul (through Mitch's lens). Best wishes.

[@raymaroney8355]

Wishing you well Paul 😎✌

[@enhancesoutheast5964]

Great to see you back Paul..I hope you are healthy and will stay that way for the longest time to make your excellent motorcycle content. . which I really enjoy..❤❤.. Edit.. I and most of your viewers would listen to you on any topic... Suggestions... Early inspiration for my motorcycle innovation and engineering.. My biggest shop success.. My biggest shop disaster.. So you want to start an engineering shop..?? Here's some pointers. These 5 tools are vital.. A note to my teenage self.. My vision for the future of bicycle design.. Stay well and healthy... Lots of people want your talent on their computer and phone..

[@johnegan4056]

Sorry to hear of your health troubles Paul. I haven't got any ideas but i do know that whatever you and Mitch produce will be worth spending my time watching I hope you recover soon - all the best

[@sonovoxx]

Excellent - wishing you all the luck in your wellness path. I like the idea of the shop talk, and the organisation part too. Would there be any mileage in having guest shoprats, that not only talk, but maybe prep some little project, or show us their tips and tricks, and even compare them with how you would tackle a particular problem? I'm open to any and all of it - we don't just tune in to watch a shop, we tune in for your personality, experience, knowledge and wisdom. 💪

[@matthiasbonisch668]

Wish you all the best and a quick recovery!

[@denisrogers4358]

Paul you’re a gentleman and a scholar. Wishing you good health and a tailwind. I can’t remember first hearing about Brodie, but having been lucky enough to help Frank Wadelton at FTW in Az. build frames, you and your fine handmade creations just seem to have always been around. I’m only one of many whom are sending positive vibes and much love dear friend.

[@Hugo_Rocker]

Shop stories sound fun ☺

[@stan5513]

Thanks for sharing your iutlook on life. At least one of your viewers has a similar calendar to obey. Best of luck to you.

[@ivancolon9756]

Happy to see an update and I hope you get well fast and beat that cancer! Maybe on top of shop flow videos you could do a deep dive into your shop tools and "furniture" explain why your main workbench was built the way it was and why you chose the vise on it, what's in the cabinet for your mill, why you own the things you do and how they work for you. Another idea could be Mitch being your hands and building things as you guide him through the process, could be fun to watch you teach someone how to make the things you want to be making.

[@runswithdogs6892]

When you get well just come back to the shop and make things.... anything. Watching you work out a process, including jigs and fixtures is like watching magic. Can't wait to see the red Sharpie back in action!

[@DarrockCowell]

Just keep on video making Paul, I am not that interested in cycling these days but your machining skills and seeing what goes into design and manufacture of parts is fascinating( the Aermachii is superb but the lady of the house wont let me ride again). I am due to retire soon and also suffer health problems(why are all medications diuretics!!!!!!!!!!) limiting my activities but thanks to yourself, Diesel Creek, farmer John and many other you tubers I bought a lathe to speed up my own projects, an Ariel VB600(no chance of a speeding there then) a vintage Allen motorised scythe and a Saab 96 - I will finish something one day - not worth working on any vehicle under 40yrs old in the UK as we are still burdened with EU type approval limiting modifications for road going stuff. I shall get you a Coffee

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

As time gets more precious we thank you for your priceless gift of knowledge. You are one of the finest man to ride this planet. After man discovered the wheel as a mode of transportation, in it's innovation ,you made it better. ❤ Continued prayers for Healing and Recovery 🙏

[@thegarageetc]

all the best on your recovery, I'm glad to have you back. Shop interviews sounds interesting

[@vhaisler]

I'm so very glad you felt good enough to put out this update Paul. I wish you all the best in your cancer fight. Keep fighting and continue to feel better sir!

[@DuncanFindlater]

Thank you for the update. I wish you a full and swift recovery.

[@wilbobaggins1550]

Great to hear from you Paul, best wishes for a speedy recovery. All of your ideas sound great. I’d love to hear more shop stories and I’m always super intrigued the fixtures and jigs you’ve created over the years. Something that came to mind for me was maybe you and Mitch could go back to your roots and see if Mitch still had his frame building skills and see if he can create a new frame with your guidance and support? Take care

[@bernibeckmann9753]

Good luck with everything.

[@glen3509]

Paul, sorry to hear. Keep fighting👍👍

[@chopper3lw]

Best wishes Mr Brodie.

[@Aeidotronics]

Cheers, sir.

[@maciekls2008]

Greetings from Poland. I wish you quick recovery Paul.

[@kielbasi]

So happy to see you in a video again it's always a pleasure to watch your content Even if you can't go into your shop and do work right now it would be so therapeutic for you to be there that is your special place it means so much more to you than most regular people could understand I myself am a mechanic And after my heart procedure I wasn't able to go back to work immediately but it was so healing and normal feeling to go into my own garage lay hands on my motorcycle and look around and see all my things and to stand in the sun leaning on my old truck So if you have to have a friend put a recliner in your shop until you are ready to work and spend some time even if it's just sitting and looking

[@cbxandy9441]

Paul & Mitch, thank you for sharing. I'm very sorry to hear of this bump in the road. Fingers crossed you recover quickly again. We are all pulling for you to make a full recovery so you can return to your shop where you are happiest. Thanks again for sharing and please take comfort in knowing we are your biggest fans.

[@Velopilgrim]

Happy to see you upbeat in your shop :) The Shop talk, Shop organisation and Shop mindset are great ideas! Why not have them all in the channel! Having 3 or 4 different shows within the same channel will make it interesting for the viewers and also give you the flexibility to put out different content based on your convenience.

[@brucejenner2027]

Really good to see another video from you. It’s a great sign that you are feeling somewhat better. I really like the teaching aspect of the channel. I’ve watched lots of other channels where people weld things. I’m not a welder myself, but when I watch your videos I really feel like I’m in your class and I’m learning how to actually do things. Similarly, I really like to watch the design process. I have a 3D printer and try and design things rather than just download a file and print. Watching you encourages me when I’m frustrated and feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. Just watching how you approach design make me feel like I’m learning something new, and I can go back and try again at another round of design. The stories are great. I’m on the North Shore and your name and Rocky Mountain Bicycles were so much a part of my childhood. It great hearing about the tools that have been with you on your journey. I’m a software developer, but after watching your videos, I moved out of my downstairs office and into my garage which I’ve converted into my lab. Now I’m 3D designing and printing. I’m soldering electronics together and building actual things. I designed and built a temperature and humidity sensor for monitoring filament. I’ve built my own webcam and system to grab Timelapse videos. Very very different from your shop but inspired by your channel. Thank you. Please stay well and continue sharing what you can.

[@jondenman9069]

Thanks!

[@AdrianRouse-e1f]

My fingers are crossed. Wish you all the best. Would light work sat down in the shop take your mind from your problems . Good luck paul

[@valkman761]

All the best, Paul. I feel the same way as a shop person. Initially it's not a problem, later down the road it's a problem. Then I married a farmer and I built a huge shop on the farm, but now I don't have time to spend there. But what could you offer? I've always been fascinated about how some people can see the end result before they even do it...mostly related to the design aspect of what you do. Maybe a short discussion about that. How do you design stuff to be functional AND pretty? Also, I really would appreciate anything related to the shop, especially about the mindset and organizing

[@highpointview256]

Paul, you are the very embodiment of “Shopcraft as Soulcraft”. I have enjoyed the channel and look forward to your future videos. I encourage you to keep fighting for your health and wish you the best. As for future topics, I would love to hear you on elements of great frame building, from materials to joint making, to geometry and weight and to worth of exotic paint schemes. Different missions depict different frames, but what are your favorites and why.

[@davegillett4036]

Shop organisation and flow I would to hear about and shop stories would be great to hear. What ever you make I’m here for!

[@richardstevenson8442]

Good to see you, we are both recovering, I wish you the best.

[@michaeldawson1639]

Get well soon Paul 🙏There will be good days for all the bad days

[@kellysrestorations.7397]

Great to you you post and check in! From someone who just came out of remission for a second time, I can relate to your calendar and days. I have yet to see a video of yours I didn't want to watch, so I'm open to anything subject wise you post. I am wondering what some of your favorite music to listen to in the shop is. Take care Paul! Beat it like it owes you money.

[@ArnoHelmchen]

Fingers crossed for your recovery. The idea of having talks with other framebuilders from the early heydays of MTB sounds really appealing. Like Tom Ritchey in person and not only as a figurine..!) Best wishes

[@Sunnbobb]

Love you and your work Paul.

[@b-boystancehonda3228]

Thanks for all your videos and insight. All the best.

[@edpretty8344]

Hi Paul. Good to see you up and about. I hear you when you say that you and your shop are intertwined. As you know, I am much the same with my own shop - the difference being that I make stuff out of wood and you make stuff out of metal. But... a shop is a shop. I recall that when you first invited me to come over it was "to see my shop"... not "my house", "my yard" or "my things". Every time I have been over for a visit or to get some work done we end up visiting in your shop. Even of you're in the house when I get there we head immediately to the shop. It's your comfort zone and I get that 100% . Basically, it's your "kitchen table". Like you, I can be me in my shop and you can be you in your shop. I'm glad you can trundle out to your shop even if your meds won't let you "run heavy machinery". Just being surrounded by the stuff that makes your brain turn over is supreme comfort. I've often said that when I'm unable to do anything in my shop I'll still go out and sit there thinking about how I legendary I used to be. LOL!

[@dogpaw775]

I recall you telling about your progress through the cycle industry, any light bulb moments with regards to design or fabrication methods? All the very best, resilience and comfort for the immediate future.

[@johnmckeighan4400]

All of the shop talk, shop advice etc, would be great 👍

[@phrodendekia]

Shop talk is a great idea, interviewing or just casually talking about the bike related world with friends and people you've worked with seems such a good idea. You can make an edited video and also maybe release a rough podcast even! You have many interesting stories I bet... well, we *know* 👍

[@dsolid0]

Hope for your recovery. I do wish you long life. Keep your mind active so your body follows.

[@chrisbaucom4832]

your always a wealth of knowledge and your attention to detail is amazing. I know you have been fighting with cancer and you seem to have a positive outlook on your treatments, I am sure there are highs and lows its funny how a lot of us find piece in the shop creating. Its just tough when you don' have the energy and your mind is still creating. keep sharing and we will keep watching.

[@robnygren923]

Good Health and good times.

[@johndef5075]

Best wishes Paul.

[@simoncarter8763]

Hi Paul all the very best and look after yourself. I think all your ideas are great, but for me hints and tips on Tig welding a fixed wheel frame from Reynolds 525 would be really useful. Take it easy

[@benjeffweldingandfabricati251]

Maybe you guys can make some videos of you narrating your past projects, like the story of the steam bike. Really enjoy your teachings! Above all stay focused on getting healthy, god speed!

[@lotus7even]

Be good to hear how you set up your shop may give ideas on how to better set them up nice to see you both look after yourself Paul

[@gdemorest7942]

Glad to see you up and fighting the good fight!!!

[@yodasbff3395]

Take care of yourself and get well. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏.

[@tryphontournesol427]

Thanks for the video and the update, best wishes.

[@dianelabelle6939]

Last weekend I was at the 50th Anniversary of Atlantic Motorsport Park in Shubenacadie NS. Hope you can get there sometime. As you are feeling better perhaps you could go to a motorcycle race somewhere and do a "Grid Walk" and explain the features of the various bikes and classes. Your channel is unique. Hope you continue to get better!!!

[@ultimatemonkey]

Sorry to hear about the shift in health, and all thr best wishes for a fast recovery. As far as what you can offer us ? Honestly, anything you want to or feel up to making a video about . Explain how you do things or sort through problems, how you organize tools , show case of unique tools.. hell maybe just some stories behind some of the stuff hanging / displayed on your walls. What I'm getting at is realistically anything you make a video about , I ans I'm sure many others will watch

[@thebrokenbone]

😁 all of the above and then some more. whatever makes you feel good and push ahead. i always admire your skill to fixture and hold things on the machines and pushing them to the limit :). on a similar ride now. hope you get better. cheers. peter

[@stephenmorton8017]

whatever you do, it will be interesting. all the best from ID.

[@daveellis2461]

I like the idea of interviews with people you know. Years ago I sold Brodie bikes, and rode a couple, in edmonton at Pedalhead. But would also love a motorcycle interview. I also would like a tour of your place and how its integrated with the rest of your life. Its something i recently tried to do.

[@davelewis2174]

Stay Positive and Get Well,

[@Marhelloo]

Пол Бажаю вам найшвидшого одужання!

[@ratheskin58]

Stories would be good, and perhaps they'd be less tiring for you at present ? I wish you well from France.

[@DocJonesGarage]

I REALLY enjoyed your CR750 video but I'll watch pretty much anything you two put out. Shop organization sounds interesting too (I currently have a lot of organizing to do) Take care and I hope to see many more of your videos!

[@barrymcdonald7521]

Thanks for the update both of you. Looking forward to seeing you bounce back from this bump in the road Paul. The shop talk idea is great. It’s something that Adam Savage does very well, but your shop is much more interesting than his :). Would be interested in hearing and seeing your metrology set up and your thoughts on the subject.

[@n1352-m1i]

Pretty moving talk: I do wish you a prompt and full recovery ! As to reply to you query, even if sounding a bit esoteric of a topic, I would be interested in your take on how to keep one's spirit up, a goal which you seem to achieve with ease considering while not so easy for many (personally I do get great satisfaction to make things work, or restore and repair things).

[@corypride5096]

i discovered you quite recently. I have enjoyed hearing about your remarkable life and I'm grateful. Talk later.

[@jedschleisner8960]

Hey Paul I sure hope you beat this thing! My heart is with you. I have had some health problems and I have a shop also. Your right there is a flow to the shop and I haven’t figured out how to get it back. I go in and try to get a flow but I don’t have the energy to keep it going. I do get things done but not like I use to. Oh well I’m ok with it, I’ll just keep trying.

[@davidyates5377]

Any content you make will be worth watching , those ideas you talked about would be very interesting, get well , looking forward to what ever you decide to make ,just don't rush ,come back when you're ready , your viewer's aren't going anywhere

[@hisproperty1438]

G'day Paul, It's good to see that you're getting better. Like other fans here, I'd just like to hear about your knowledge and experiences. I also enjoy the opportunity to share mine with you. Any videos where that happens are great. It's more important is that you get well, which will take time away from your YT videos. So be it. When you are ready, I'll pop into watch your video. Get well soon Andrew BTW, I'm hanging out to see your Aermacchi dyno runs, and make some comments. Again, I'll keep an eye out foe when it happens. 🙂

[@pastorius]

While words like shop and fabrication evoke physical process, there is so much mental and emotional activity around that.. Many times I've tried to explain to people how vital it is for some to have a space like shop/atelier, no matter what you make, how much, and why.. If one is born under a sign of designer/fabricator, it is simply his/her life world. Anyway, stay strong Paul, thanks for the update.

[@kimknowles3681]

Get well.

[@alexball5907]

Was thinking about you today and i ran into a couple of Canadian cyclists riding Brodie touring bikes.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

It's always good to spend time with you Paul. Your strength and positivity is inspiring. How about an international KZbin dial-in? I'd love to give you a virtual tour of my humble workshop. I'm sure your other followers would too. Best wishes, Dean.

[@carloslomba3595]

❤

[@lancehatch4475]

Is there any more footage of the giraffe bike? I was enjoying those videos. Perhaps if there is any unused video of it, a video could be made from that. I hope you get well soon Paul. I've really enjoyed the channel.

[@johnnightingale7485]

One day at a time.

[@bigbird2451]

You met Mitch through one of your frame building classes, so he must be at least capable in the shop. What if you two were to trade roles while you recover? You could wield the camera and let him do the making for a bit! Under your careful watch and instruction?

[@audioorigami]

love you matey

[@LazloNQ]

Shop stories for sure. I'm not interested in what others are doing. I'm interested in the years of the experience. Give us the full Brodie experience Paul. Mind yourself and take care of your health first. Once under control, come back as your leisure. Glad you're fighting and winning!

[@jameshisself7375]

Shop talk and shop stories please! Feel better you old so and so.

[@sallyjanehardingham4697]

All you need to do is to get better that's what all of us this side of the camera

[@brianevans1946]

Fellow shop rat here..

[@andreichichak5242]

Could you explain the down (to the rear) sloping top tube? I can see how, in mountain biking, it can give more clearance for your bits, but is this valid in road racing frames? It seems to just make the seat post longer and put a bending member where you have a lot of mass moving around. Is it just fashion in road frames? And the attachment of seat stays far down the seat tube, why would that be done? It makes the frame weaker, and introduces weird bending forces. Is that because carbon fibre frames are uncomfortably stiff and the manufacturers are trying to put some spring back into the frames?

[@shoshanvale]

Maybe you cloud give us some insights on frame design and actual drawing without CAD

[@benjaminpratt1486]

Shop stories!

[@salmaaliyhasiholan7267]

Glad to see you back paul, i watched all ur videos and hope sameday I have a shop like yours. Btw paul do u want to convert to islam?

[@scottcates]

Chemo ain't a fun ride

[@dogphlap6749]

Dear Paul Brodie, have you exposed your brain to the work of Professor Thomas Seyfried of Boston College, Massachusetts, USA ? He features in many interviews on KZbin. His research on the nature of cancer could could have a major affect on your future. Best regards and get well soon.
