Sawzall shows Hutch Expert who's the expert

[emerbmx]

Phil recently helped me restore a Hutch I picked up here. I'd seen many Sawzall posts featuring wizard like craftsmanship, but it was only when this returned I began to realise how Phil earned his legendary status. 

The frame originally had a seat post well and truly stuck, and any attempt to twist it out, was shredding it to pieces.
The brake bridge had a section cut out and was cracked.





I originally asked if it was possible to remove the post, and roughly patch weld the bridge in exchange for some forks.

Phil removed the post using a combination of drilling and dissolving, and replaced the brake bridge.
On top of that- He also volunteered to stirip the 5 layers of paint off, levelled out the little dents and chips, and primered it.
He did a sterling job and now it looks like freakin' new!





Thanks Phil, Free t-shirt on the way to you mate!

I'm glad Phil Sawzall's work is no where near as shoddy as my headline.

Great resto. Phils work is amazing.  He recently did something for me that is very special.. i'll post it up in a couple of weeks when complete.
I wonder if thats my brake bridge as he had to remove one from a frame for me recently

I didn't recognise it when it returned-
It's possible he threw mine away, bought a nos one, and sent the new one back to me  

Wildon, the brake bridge is a new custom made plate.
You're project sounds veerrrryy interesting though, can't wait to see the pics.

I think Phil's going rate is a rimjob.

About time he stopped doing other people favours and got on with my work   


Done a fantastic job and also went the extra mile with the dent repairs and priming.
