Would you be willing to wait about 10 years for it though?
It just seems like they are stringing it out now |
I wouldn't because it would be a paid gig through their business I dare say rather than the project they do at the odd weekend.

So you're saying they aren't making a single penny on these videos?
What about all the people who've donated or buying their merchandise?
In 3 days it'll be 5 years since the first episode was posted.... only 5 years, and how close to completion is it?
No wonder they were told it couldn't be done.... it'll probably take another 3-4 years to complete at the rate they are going |
Does it matter? they are doing it for themselves.
I very much doubt they are making much when you consider the time investment, the day to day earnings of the shop will be much higher. If they wanted YouTube to be the big money maker they would have sacked off half there day to day stuff and knocked out a few projects by now.
Clearly this is weekend lark for them and they are happy keeping it that way.

According to Social Blade they get 1-15k PA from YT, I doubt it is anywhere near the top end. It's probably earned them more as advertising to get new customers in.
As for close to completion, Have you watched it? It's easily 80% done. They have done all the hard work, whats left? Bolting in an engine, wiring, paint and interior. Granted I dare say they will build an engine from the ground up and there will be a few more odd engineering follies. ____________________ Well, you know what they say.

Looks like they're nearing completion, talking about colours etc., with any luck they might have it finished in say four or five years! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

This was probably one of the most interesting episodes since about 14-15 I think.
Maybe they are starting to listen to (some) people getting annoyed about them dedicating a whole episode to something trivial....
I was expecting it to be just about the wiring, so when they were testing the lights I was about to close the page then seen it was only half way through |

You can't help but admire the attention to detail, and maybe the somewhat over-engineered solutions to the more obscure issues ....
Anyone know what they're doing for an engine - refurbishing and tuning the old Toyota lump or outsourcing it to a 'specialist' engine house ?? ____________________ FZ1-S Fazer (licence killer😢) , CRF1000L - Adventure Sport |
