    I love these videos. Every time I weld something, I fanatically clean the metal to shiny state, then wipe with acetone, before actual welding. This guy welds though rust and dirt and mud and god knows what else, and it still works just fine. Nice to see another way of doing things...

    good work. Ive made a few excavator buckets from scratch. A skeleton bucket and a topsoil trommel type bucket driven off the auxiliary hydraulics. I cut everything with a hand torch but we now have a homemade cnc plasma table and it sure would have been helpful in the build. Last project was a large sandblasting cabinet. everything was documented on my channel

    Thank you for your videos , I did lots of reaserch for a Cnc plasma setup and the best bang for our buck is a cnc router parts , it cost less then half of the Lincoln setup , also your excavator sounds just like mine when I had dirt in the fuel filter , might want to check that

      Ok, that thing doesn't have quite the power it should, plus it smokes a little sometimes. Ill mess with it.

    One of the things I absolutely love watching about your chanel? You're never afraid to go "eh, fukkit!" and tear into something until it's either finished off for good-n-all, or it's working the way you want it to be. It's awesome fun to see! "This bucket doesn't quite work right. Hmm, I'mma burn that sonovagun *in half* and add a bit more bucket!"

    For those of us who have a hearing impairment, please wear a remote mic! The distance to your cam mic, and the poor acoustics, make understanding what you say very difficult, even if we are wearing our "ear plugs"!

      You can turn CC on if its hard to hear. I thought the audio was good in this one.

    • @bobgrier3103
      @bobgrier3103 Před 5 lety +1

      It was good but could be better. Not complaining, only suggesting. At the beginning with you in the shop at a distance was difficult to clearly understand. I'll try cc in the future. Your videos are important to many, they teach as well as entertain. We want to get all we can from them; hearing everything clearly and distinctly really helps. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way but I might be one of the few who have mentioned it. Getting old is not for sissies; it's darned hard work.

      I'm sure the sound is good on most all of AC's vids. but for the hearing impaired, when he moves some distance from the mic, it's harder for us to understand. We lose hearing in tonal ranges; the tones change as the speaker moves away for the mic. If AC were to use a portable mic, the tones would not change. Acoustics and background noise also play a heavy part. I was just asking if he would "consider" helping us with hearing loss by using a portable mic. And it's not just AC's vids we have trouble with, we have the same problem with other YT vids. We miss a great deal that we don't want to miss, and, esp with Andrew's vids, that's a real shame because we learn so much from each one. The problem is NOT with what AC produces but with the viewing audience. I was asking for help so we could enjoy these prime quality vids even more!

      Andrew, you can plug a shotgun mic into the Hero 7 I believe. GoPro will be more than happy to sell you the adapter. Not sure what the preamp is like, might have to turn the external mic on low and bring up volume in post production. I haven't got the hero 7 yet, but been running external mic on Yi 4k+. But do what makes you happy. Haha

      @@AndrewCamarata Yes the audio is pretty good, I suffer from Tinnitus heavily, plus I don't hear some normal human low frequencies, but I also hear some high frequencies only dogs should normally hear... and I have no trouble with your sound, but I confess sometimes correcting sound with the CZcams sound control and my computer sound control...not enough to burden you with more work and equipment for doing your videos!
