'The Leaf' a ratty roadster, part eighteen ...Harleys , T's and MGB's

[@hadlock]

What an absolute variety show! Tea with a fellow enthusiast and his wife (two "cuppa"? I'm American) a tooth extraction, plus a visit from a retired sailmaker for your tonneau cover?!?!! Have you pitched this to the BBC? You could eclipse Clarkson's Farm in a heart beat. Best television on the Internet right here.

[@hadlock]

The editing bit with the brass adapter: only half a mil if I don't destroy it 😂

[@hadlock]

It's all lovely can't hardly wait for next show 👍

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate...kind words , glad you are digging the show cheers dude

[@caspar0777]

Very interesting vid and a lot of good guys around you. Glad I'm not the only "strange bloke "😂 That Harley shop is nice, hope to see it when I'll come over D-day's coming closer Cheers mate

Excellent episode Bryan you actually made me sound interesting which really takes some doing 😂😂. Great to see the leaf progressing and starting to tie up the loose ends and as already said the outtakes are a funny end to an ever increasing fantastic channel ❤

[@Biokemist-o3k]

@@oakswamp Ah yes!! I am getting ready to start work on The 4 speed manual MG gearbox that is going in the 1928 Morgan. I am going to start my KZbin channel with the repair of the gearbox and getting a really cool 1940's drilling tapping station going . As it gets warmer out in the barn. I believe I am calling my channel ..."machines and motors". I will let you know when I post my first video. I love feeling like I am with the person doing the work so I am going to try doing the videos raw with a minimum of editing unless they go too long. I just broke a tooth in half and it has been cutting the f@ck outta my cheek. I hope to see the dentist on Tuesday... Cheers Brother!!

[@oakswamp]

@@Biokemist-o3k hey dude good luck with the you tube ...its hard going but rewarding...I put hrs into the edits but people seem to like what im doing ....a word of advice told to me by a 24 year old you tuber pal of mine when i started he said 'just be yourself...anything else they will see straight through you'...and you know i certainly believe that to be true... this is a toned down version of myself, like im working in someones house hahahah cheers

Great video. Build it, Rebuild it differently, and rebuild it again - the fun of building specials and rat rods. It always comes together in the end and this is coming together great.

Nice. Taking my late breakfast and watching part 18. Nice start on a sunday. NOW..out in the garage.🏃.......ehhr ..soon.

good lad !!! thanks

[@amraceway]

To make your felt tip pens last longer or revive a dry one put a few drops of lacquer thinner in the cap and sit it upright on the cap in a jar or whatever for a day.

[@oakswamp]

really? ill try that ...cheers

[@wizardfpv1928]

Excellent video as usual Bryan, as a bike builder was great to see some two wheelers this week. Paul

[@oakswamp]

cheers dude...Simon builds some cool shit!

[@Icebuntrucker]

Some very cool stuff this week Bri , Always felt guilty when i got a good deal on ebay . a set of audi wheels and tyres for £2.50p and some brand new wheel chair wheels with drum brakes for 99p delivered being just a few .

[@oakswamp]

cheers mate got to grab a bargain !

[@daleskidmore1685]

Some of the best music in this one. Loved the Rover Coupe especially, but all the cars and bikes were great. It is nice how people are rallying round to do some stuff that, perhaps, you would need a lot more time and toolage to do. £210 for an extraction these days! I had 2 out a few years ago ay £50 a pop and thought that robbery.

[@oakswamp]

hahahahah thanks dale

[@jaygee5693]

It was good to meet Warren and get a glimpse of the contents of his garages. Looking at the luggage compartment on his Standard 8 reminds us where the term "boot" came from!

[@oakswamp]

doesn't it ? thanks mate

[@paulchearman6261]

top upload, some great people popping in. i ain't forgot too come over just lifes got in the way

[@oakswamp]

cheers paul ...plenties of time mate

[@mcm9329]

great developments ...hot tip, when you're annealing aluminium rub some soap on it before you start ..apply heat and as soon as it goes bronzy/brown colour thats it..too much heat can weaken and damage the alli...love that MG

[@oakswamp]

thanks for the tip...cheers

[@ashleyjones7375]

Interesting ....lots going on. I love seeing what people have spurs me on to get my crap done.

[@martinkaye1801]

Those were some trick Harleys. Never been a big fan of the sound but any custom Harleys always have top quality engineering on them. A bit of a teaser for your next project. Looking forward to that one. Not far off with the Leaf!

Keep em coming Bryan 👍 old mate with the MG8 “I didn’t think he had it in him “ 🤣

[@oakswamp]

hahahahah

[@SteveAbrahall]

Great content (as always!) amazing to see how the tonneau is all measured up! I think Bentley used a bit of Duralumin back in the 20's so I'm sure it's the right stuff to use!

[@oakswamp]

duraline's great stuff my house is made of it !!! thanks Steve

[@jofry8540]

Many thanks Bryan. Another great video 😀

Thanks 👍

[@boydsargeant7496]

What a fab episode! So much cool stuff! Out takes! Hope your gob is better. I think you need a really good gazebo or similar for outside, that is heavy duty and bolts down, you could have that in place in the rainy season, being an ex builder I’m sure it’s doable! I think this is one of the most varied episodes you’ve done, and I loved it! Have a dry week😁

That T was a fine ride! liked "Allen", too. The Leaf is coming along really well! OOOOOO, a Crosley! There isn't much power but they are tunable. I've been looking into the idea of a Crosley special.

I think you can count on one hand the number of days that it hasn't rained since last July - the Guzzi powered special sounds wicked, Jim has got the blues this week, he has the blues! I said.... enough of that. I would much rather have a tattoo than go to the dentist, great episode Bryan - Drive safe

With that possibly dodgy radiator , why not go for a non pressurised system? The radiator looks to be big enough?? You would probably have to ditch the thermostat . Run the engine at a lower temp.
