Watch This Guy Build a Bike Frame Out of Wood From Start to Finish

David Parker of Auckland, New Zealand, was looking for his next woodworking project. He was inspired by images of beautiful wooden bikes he had seen on Instagram. He had already built several guitars, and even a canoe but wanted a new challenge. Without any in-depth instructions to follow, he built a wooden bike frame, referencing a steel bike he owned as a template for the geometry.

I am absolutely bowled over by David's talent. He is such an absolutely brilliant craftsman. What''s even nicer for me is that I knew David when he was just a little lad. What an honour for me!!

I am interested in building a bike out of woo as well ! Can you share your measurements for the frame ?

[@SimoneCainero]

Very nice work!! Where did you find the bottom bracket shell? Can you give me some specs? Thanks

[@ionstefan8402]

How long did it take for you to build this frame ,aproximately by eliminating breaks,just the pure time spent on the frame and the costs?

[@gregorylegrain1244]

Wat glue do you use ?

Gostaria de aprender a fazer bike de madeira...

It's beautiful but wood, although having pretty good specific strength, have very low modulus so dimensions much be much bigger than for metal.

[@KcarlMarXs]

But, that considering, wood can have thicker walls (or solid) while still being quite light.

Helmet?
