I wish I was your neighbor. Thank you for sharing Donn.

Cheers!🙏

[@DanKoning777]

Your channel reflects the fact that a huge shop and every top end tool on the market is necessary to design/fabricate something. The builds we've seen you tackle make that very clear. I hope you never get bored or tired of this-and that you continue to be inspired. Looking forward to the next video. God bless.

[@Stakman1]

Good to see you making something just for fun instead of work! I think you have more than earned a toy! Thanks for sharing.

[@DonnDIY]

I've justifyed this build by telling myself I need this bike to move around at the homestead. I've used quad bike and UTV for short trips but this fat tire minibike would be even better.🤔😀

[@AW-Services]

Wow, very creative, Donn. Would have never thought you'd build a mini bike. It's like it's been inspired by a WW2 troop bike. Will enjoy this series. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks for watching👍

[@horatiohornblower868]

Glad to see you back, Donn! Mr. Chop was very hungry today!

[@Hoaxer51]

I guess, he was drooling over all over everything!

[@blackbuttecruizr]

What a delightfully over-engineered frame jig for a mini-bike, the most Donn thing I've ever seen.

[@DonnDIY]

It has to be exact, doesn't it? 😀

[@blackbuttecruizr]

@@DonnDIY A very Donn statement! If it is worth doing right, it is worth over doing! Most mini bikes I've seen are held together with chewing gum, zip ties, duct tape, and Grandma's prayers. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DonnDIY]

🤣

[@marcvanherck]

I love the name of your KZbin account. Donn DIY. I am not a welder or fabrictor and even with all your tools Ik could not do anything you do. But I think that DIY is a little underrated. Love what you do and I will keep folowing you. (Marc from Belgium - sorry for the bad English)

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Having fun and learning from your videos. Thanks for sharing with us Donn. Always enjoy your videos. Fred.

[@opendstudio7141]

Something easy to design, with a big footprint for some fun sloshing around the farm. 👍

[@DonnDIY]

Yup, the main reason for this bike will be moving around the farm.👍

[@森井弘幸]

I look at it with interest every time. I'll definitely keep watching Japanese woodworking DIY enthusiast

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you very much.🙏

[@Mikefestiva]

Nice work Donn! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this build to the end 😊👍

[@denniscarreno5882]

A true craftsman…greetings from down under Australia….stay warm n safe! Love your work…

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers. Will do. Diesel heater burning away at the workshop providing heat. Negative 10 degrees Celsius at the moment.😛

[@BlacklistedBible]

Nice project👍‍. I like your pipe bender! $1080 usd regular price in my area for a new China made 5hp(212cc) Minibike. Max speed 20mph(32 kmph). I think someone could get it to go 50kmph! 👉I know your bike will be 2x better built than the China one....!

[@DonnDIY]

We don't have these minibikes here, that's why I'm building one. 👍 Thanks for the specs.💪

[@tedbastwock3810]

Donn is a master craftsman, a true artist. Thanks for sharing, Donn.

Greetings from Estonia 🤙

[@somethingelse2740]

Very nice! I used to own a 1970's fat tire Super Bronc mini bike. Fat tires make for some strange geometry in corners, so be prepared on your first ride. Loving the project so far!

[@DonnDIY]

I was thinking about the geometry in corners. Thanks for the heads-up!👍 Thanks for watching!

[@somethingelse2740]

@@DonnDIY The further the traction patch is away from the center of the tire (when you lean) the more wonky it feels. You'll see. Still fun to ride, but can get crazy if you are riding on uneven terrain or hit a rock or log with the side of your tire. Hopefully your bike rides better then a Super Bronc. Your design sure appears much sturdier.

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

looking forward to the next instalment already. Great video.

Next video in this series on upcoming Saturday👍10th of February 2024

[@Jacob-de-Veroveraar]

OMG You are heading to 1 million subscribers, this is going very fast.

[@Crewsy]

Great to see a build just for fun. Not that there’s anything wrong with any other build.

[@DonnDIY]

It's kind of practical as well - will serve the task of moving me around at the homestead👍😛

[@PAINFOOL13]

Sweet build Donn.

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you!

[@rickfazzini22]

Nice work Donn! This is going to be an excellent build to follow

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you🙏

[@EngineeredToDesign]

Keen for this one, it’s good to be back on builds like these 👌🏻

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!

[@dismayer666]

Oh, a new video, new build. What a nice Saturday :)

[@terrancefunderburgh1613]

I like your table , a nice fully functional table anyone can create. So many options to setup n clamp pieces. Would be good in my line of work, millwork especially in solid surface dept.

[@DonnDIY]

The main reason I like this table is the fact that I can use regular clamps to hold stuff down. And when I don't use the table I can use the clamps on other things. Dual purpose stuff when it works is superb.🙏

[@aserta]

I was wondering if you were going to make something like this given the progression of the projects and the terrain you have. Neato!

[@enzobrambilla3692]

Mancavi da un po'... e' sempre piacevole seguirti ed imparare da te!!!

[@DonnDIY]

Sorry for the absence. I was sick.😬

[@Sockemtickem]

Awesome work my dude.

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Enjoyable as always Donn, thank you ! I hope Mike Festiva sees this, he will love it ! = )

[@DonnDIY]

Let's hope so 🤞😀

[@peem1244]

Awesome work Donn. When you're done you can build me a trike with fat wheels. Keep up the good work. :)

[@mentalneil]

Another masterpiece in the making

Wow great video! You're so clever

[@GuildOfCalamity]

Great video as usual. Can you make the watermark on the video translucent, or smaller? It can get in the way sometimes during what you're filming.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Awesome, thank you for sharing, another project who I follow 👍👍👍👍

[@president2]

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

new cyclemaster with fat tire will be amazing sir

[@metricstormtrooper]

Lovely work there Don, beats my water pipe and mower part minibike I built 53 years ago that handled like a pig and fell apart, but that's all I could do at 14.

[@DonnDIY]

I tried to do something similar back in the day. But now I have a tube bender!🤘

[@monoshock57]

A small diesel engine would be neat.

[@caseybinion806]

Man i can’t wait for next video I like it I’m in a build my self a 3 wheeler

Hey Donn, I hope this is going to be a 2 wheel drive bike like the old Rokon Trail Breakers... Looking good 👍👍

[@DonnDIY]

RWD only this time around 👍

Nice! Greetings from Finland! 👍🏻🎅🏻🇫🇮

[@dagorithe]

0:21 why square tube? I realize it is probably easier to work with but isn’t round of the same dimensions stronger?

[@DonnDIY]

The minibike frame will be made of round tube. This is frame jig.

[@dagorithe]

@@DonnDIY thanks for the clarification

That's right! Donn from Estonia 🤙

[@carlthor91]

Took 10-12 minutes to see the jig take shape. You going into series production??? Best wishes from Northern Canada.

[@DonnDIY]

It would be possible to do a bit of production but the main reason for a jig is to have the bike running true. I can't sleep if I know there's stuff crooked on this bike and I could've made it better.

I'm coming from quantum tech channel, and new subscriber

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you for subscribing🙏

[@ساميالحريبي]

Thanks man 👨 you wild technology

[@FaithfulMC]

Do you plan to produce and sell them? Is that why you made a jig?

[@DonnDIY]

I want the bike to run straight first of all. But the possibility of producing these did cross my mind whilst building the jig.👍

[@johncampbell9120]

Very skilled😊

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻……………………………………..it’s two wheels, it’s cool with me! LOL

[@Iowa599]

What if you turn the engine 90°, so the mounting base is verticle? Might require relocating the oil slinger, but would improve airflow to the cylinder (while moving & without the shroud).

[@DonnDIY]

I guess keeping the shroud and using oiriginal cooling will be more simple than modifying the engine.🤔

[@Iowa599]

@@DonnDIY yeah, that is easier to not change things, but it isn't your style to do things the easy way. I'm sure the shroud is better for stationary operation, but minibikes aren't stationary (when built correctly).

[@Paulman50]

I just finished one that looks exactly the same 2 months ago, same tyers, same frame, 7.5hp, but used a jackshaft to gear it down.

[@DonnDIY]

The gearing might be interesting on it indeed. CVT helps but I'm also using a 60 tooth rear and 12 tooth front sprocket. But I'll find out once I can test drive it.👍

[@ricksavage582]

Nice! You should build a 2WD version.

[@DonnDIY]

RWD this time around. I've thought about 2WD as well.👍

[@paavokaleva]

Donn is building the next TET bike for Himself 🤣

[@DonnDIY]

This would be unstoppable on TET 🤣

[@timberray9572]

I am waiting for someone to build a motorized standup scooter, I am no engineer but I think that would be a cool build.

[@DonnDIY]

I think so too👍

Is that a new pipe bender? Looks squeaky clean. 😊

[@DonnDIY]

Bought it on sale a couple of years ago.👍

[@Bombs_Welt]

Hey Don, do you want to have this beautiful pipe bending machine built, I really like it! Is there a video coming with this? Keep it up my friend, I love your videos!

[@DonnDIY]

I bought this one on sale 😬 but a self build of this bender is also doable.👍

[@miyuki3835]

I wonder if the products you make are sold or used?

[@JaySingh-ex6xc]

Hi Donn, Where do you get them wheels and tyres from please ?

[@chantemacklin5785]

What size tubing did you use for the build

[@jameslongenecker1650]

kudos, you want to create something and you just freakin weld it into fruition

[@donpeterson7414]

Just how many mini bikes are we going to build with this jig?

[@DonnDIY]

As many as needed.🤞👍😀

[@nvdb-77]

Which software do you use in combination with the plasma cutting table?

[@DonnDIY]

I use FreeCAD to create drawings, SheetCAM to create plasma cutting code and import the code file to UCCNC that controls the plasma table.👍
