I need a new name

**tonyfoale** · Jun 21, 2025, 10:12 AM

This may seem like a strange request for this forum but I need a new name for my youtube channel.
When I started the channel I was expecting that it would mainly be videos about making motorcycles and engines and I named it "Motochassis". However, it has turned out that the overwhelming number of videos are about tool and workshop topics, in particular homemade tools. As such it would seem that the channel needs a new focus and name.

Where better to ask for naming suggestions than on HMT forum? So that's it, I want as many ideas for a relevant and catchy name as I can get to better describe a channel mainly devoted to topics similar to those found here at HMT.
For reference here is the link to the channel with the wrong name Motochassis needs change

Speaking of alliteration...

I confess my first thought was "Foale's Follies" but I have too much respect for Tony's ideas and fabrications to suggest it.

Interesting, a logo and name combined. I had not even considered a logo for a renamed site.

The first engine that I designed and built I called the FF -> Foale's Folly. I had not thought of reviving it until now. I shall put it on the short list for sure.
It was an unusual engine in that it was a two stroke with both inlet and exhaust controlled by rotary valves. At that period, rotary inlets existed but there were no rotary exhausts. Those who were my elders and betters at the time advised that it would not work. I am always happy to make fun of myself and in deference to my advisors I used the name FF. It worked in exactly the way that I had expected. Even though I was 15 or 16 at the time I worked at a university whilst studying and I had access to computers, such as they were in 1959, once I had my first calculus lesson I was able to simulate, in a global simplistic way, the workings of the engine.

Jon,

I had not even considered asking Al. I really must consider moving into the current century. That is a long list and I shall wade through at leisure. Many thanks.
