I came for the build, but I’m staying for Mr. chop. 😊

[@wayupnort6271]

Same here! Love Mr. Chop!! 💪🏻

[@mhpjii]

I came for the build, but I'm staying for that tube bender.

[@JockeSelin]

The Mr Chop Show featuring Donn is a huge favourite of mine! 😎👍🏻

[@Crewsy]

Mr. Chop always puts a smile on my face. 👍👍

[@richardcorwin1828]

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

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!🙏

[@horatiohornblower868]

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

[@Hoaxer51]

I guess, he was drooling over all over everything!

[@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.🤔😀

[@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.

[@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👍

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

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

[@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)

[@marcosemino3511]

Here you are man! A great new fabrication...... waiting for the growing of this project....come on!!!

[@Eisen_Jaeger]

I still chuckle every time you use Mr Chop. :D

[@DonnDIY]

😛

[@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]

🤣

[@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.👍

[@Mikefestiva]

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

[@phobosspoof]

Thanks for these videos. Starting to learn some welding and seeing someone else do it make the mistake less and less.

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

looking forward to the next instalment already. Great video.

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!🙏👍

[@lloydprunier4415]

You never disappoint! Looking forward to the next steps.

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

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

[@DonnDIY]

Much obliged!🙏🙏

[@dismayer666]

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

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

Sweet build Donn.

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.😛

[@crawler1x]

Great content and editing as always! Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Cheers!

This is going to be a fun series to watch. Cheers from Australia.

[@_Keto_Diet]

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.💪

[@rickfazzini22]

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

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you🙏

Quality workmanship Quality video

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

new cyclemaster with fat tire will be amazing sir

[@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.

[@mentalneil]

Another masterpiece in the making

[@yodasbff3395]

Your creativity is amazing, thanks for sharing your videos. 👍

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you for watching.🙏

[@carloskawasaki656]

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

[@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👍😛

[@SuddenSpark]

“Bloody Perfect!!” - awesome! Thank you for sharing. 👍🤘😎

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you for watching!

[@joseluisbarcelogaspar7135]

Genial , da gusto ver realizar sus trabajos . 👍👍

[@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.🙏

[@thomaswestwood5227]

Awesome build cant wait

[@user-oj2nk6qq8u]

Love your work. Keep it up young man.

Sorry, I was sick a couple of weeks and also a couple of weeks before that. I didn't have the strength to undertake any new projects.🤷‍♂️

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

[@president2]

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

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

[@DonnDIY]

Let's hope so 🤞😀

[@dumbasscountryboy]

Finally you build something for instead of something you have to work with 😂 good for you Donn. I am going to enjoy this build. Cheers my friend!!!

[@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!🤘

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.

[@gafrers]

New Build FTW

[@arnostoermer3563]

Genial!😍🤗

[@jameslongenecker1650]

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

[@paavokaleva]

Donn is building the next TET bike for Himself 🤣

[@DonnDIY]

This would be unstoppable on TET 🤣

[@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.👍

[@chantemacklin5785]

What size tubing did you use for the build

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

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.👍
