Check out our most popular video series:
REDLINE REBUILDS: We spend hundreds of hours tearing apart old engines, machining and obsessively cleaning the parts, and reassembling it all. We exhaustively chronicle every step along the way with thousands of photos, then boil it down to a fast-paced but incredibly detailed time-lapse video. Share the satisfaction of the finish and the first fire-up!
BARN FIND HUNTER: Tom Cotter literally wrote the book(s) on barn finds, starting with The Cobra in the Barn. Tom travels North America in his 1939 Ford Woodie Wagon, searching for forgotten classics in barns, backyards, dusty garages, and scrapyards and meets the fascinating characters who open the barn doors for him and tell him their stories.
WHY I DRIVE: Deep dive profiles of owners of interesting cars. Owners narrate, sharing their particular passion, with evocative on-the-road footage. We take you to their homes and garages, showing you firsthand the turn of the key, the first high-rpm upshift, and their favorite roads and destinations, whether it’s the local racetrack, ice cream parlor, or canyon road.

An electric knife is readily available at thrift stores. I bought one and just used it to cut a memory foam mattress into thirds for a folding mattress for our trailer. Then I used it to cut the scraps into pillow stuffing. Its a very useful tool outside the kitchen.
Hot wire works great. I made one with a hacksaw frame and handle, some stainless wire and a 12v trickle charger. I used some rubber hose as insulators. Not perfect, but I had it on hand.
If you are too cheap to buy foam use discarded carpet padding and spray glue it each layer. always spray glue the foam or itll shift around. Use thicker vinyl and it wont wrinkle so much. Also a layer of sheet cotton helps to smooth it out. I usually use an old mattress pad. And make some piping for the seams looks much more professional but can be hard to sew through 4 layers if youre machine isnt very good. And using upholstery thread holds up better
The video started and in my mind I was saying “Sweet! Mini bike! Im headed to the motorcycle shop to score some parts” halfway through the video and I end up at JoAnne fabrics wondering how I got here…
Dang-it Kyle, now I want to build a mini-bike.
