Making a Rotary Ground Clamp for Welding | Shop Made Tools
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 06. 2022
- In this video we are making one of our Rotary Ground Clamps and we are GIVING IT AWAY! This shop made rotary earth clamp makes welding rotating parts like cylinder rods and barrels so much easier and we wanted to show how simple it is to make one. To make this rotary earth clamp we are using scrap brass which first needs melting in our devil forge and casting into blanks. After we melt and cast the metal we show the step by step process for making the parts starting with machining the brass blanks and then machining a brass bolt. We also drill and tap a hole in one of the brass blanks on our milling machine before assembling the rotary ground clamp ready to use! Make sure to enter the giveaway for a chance to WIN this Rotary Ground Clamp!
!!!GIVEAWAY DETAILS BELOW!!!

Why dont you just make the clamp on the welder rotary? So you dont need a secondary clamp like you have made here?
1618 grams
I was pleasantly surprised to come home from work today and find my 9 year old son watching this video and telling me about the fella on the screen needing a tool and just making his own.
The level of camera work and explanation in your videos is second to none.
Signed- Proud dad!
Really amazing too hear about a 9 year old being interested in milling and building rather then watching the junk that most kids his age are watching , puts a smile on my face
taught the boy to swear, in the bargain
I am fleet mechanic by trade. My 9 year old introduced me to your channel and said this is what we need to do so I stop”bitching” about not being able getting any parts. “You can just make your own”
Would be even more proud if he was raised and taught better by his actual father rather than a CZcams channel...
Could be worse though! He could be watching some real garbage on this site but chooses something worthwhile.
@@user-sz2px8pv3fit's funny how kind you are....the fact that any child would watch this says something about thier future and thier interests. x try and spread positivity ...the world is full of hate
Good work matey , I would love to get lathe but I’ll probably end up losing a bloody arm or something🤦🏻♂️. I’ll give ya a call next week mate and catch you up on what we were talking about the other day👊🏻😁🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻
Hey mate you make this look easy I was shocked it worked out so well 🤣 I'll stick to the lathe work from now on haha Sounds good mate chat soon 😎👍🇦🇺
love your channel mate ive been a long LONG time subscriber
that would be cool if you had a lathe though
Hey bigstack, still waiting for your address. I’d love to come by and evaluate all your metal.
:-)
I love your video also
Can't wait to see what's going to happen next.
Like Kurtis getting a meal & a bear in the middle of the video, or BigStackD showing some bloopers at the end.
Multiverse has come, and boi oh boi I'm ready. 🥴
I got such a big smile at “Can’t do it - got to do it properly” finishing the head of the brass bolt because I knew you wouldn’t let that go!
This project was made with a fair bit of "We'll see how this goes", and making a mess with a lathe insert. I have watched pretty much every video from the last 2 years and this explains where the clamp came from.
Does anybody else hear This Old Tony whispering "Rotary Dampers" every time the word rotary is used?
He is so clever,i really enjoy his humour
LMAO! I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's okay if I'm insane, but I don't want to be insane and alone. 😁
Yes 🤣👌🏻
Rotary….. damper….. lol can hear it in the whisper voice lol
I completely forgot about that so I rewatched it and could stop laughing haha
Making that bolt you were hogging that material off, so nice. No disrespect mate, but the editing and content creation is approaching the level of the machine work. Little mama is getting really good! The split shot showing Curtis on the controls while also showing the cutter at work was excellent. People can learn a lot more from this style of edit. You two are a really talented couple!
hey mate thanks so much we both appreciate the great comment!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Yes the behind the camera woman is half the channel, with the great work she does. Deserves a little swap soon, showing she can also weld and cut. If John and Debs from Doubleboost can do that......
Degreed "Jeweler" here. In school, all our "practice pieces" were mainly from Brass (even back when Gold/Silver were relatively cheap). So a smelting tip for you ... add a few pinches of "Flux Powder" to the crucible ... it draws impurities out of the melting metal and draws it to the top; also easier to collect the slag just before your pour. Wondering if a smear of conductive grease between the 2 Brass surfaces would help rotation ... like Permatex 22058 ? Brilliant job !!!
That is literally the worst thing to put on there. Dielectric grease is not conductive. Its whole purpose for being is that it doesn't conduct. But there are conductive lubricants out there. Permatix 22058 just isn't one of them.
Every time kurtis runs the lathe and he runs the cutter RIGHT up to the chuck I always think to myself "the balls on this guy" lol. I truly enjoy watching him work. Thank you for sharing these videos with the world.
He's using a DRO. He can see the exact position of the tool on a little screen so he doesn't crash it
@@adhamattaall the same, I winced away from my screen when I saw that. Guy's fearless.
The production value of this channel is amazing! The machining and metal working is top notch, but the video production is incredible. The clean edits tell the story of the job so well. I especially liked the introduction of the split frames. Thank you both for sharing your work! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!
Thank you so much!!
Plus all the outtakes at the end of each video for some comic relief. Kurtis' blank stare off into space or else he's dropping the F bombs like a sortie of B-52 bombers.
Very cool to see you make a robust and high quality tool from metal you melted in your shop. Also, great camerawork and video editing. Thank you very much for making these videos to the both of you. CZcams needs more quality content like this.
thanks for the great comment we appreciate it!
The bloke is the nuts at his trade and yes his missus does a fine job filming. Dog is great aswell.
I know EXACTLY how much the brass components weigh! Precisely 12 bananas, and not one slice over! Massive respect for an excellent tool, expertly crafted from scratch! Just outstanding.
Is that 12 servings of banana pudding, green bananas, large ripe Dole bananas, small cooking bananas, or ?
@@ellieprice363 Imperial bananas that are used as a unit of measurement. Watch more CEE videos and you'll understand the reference.
@@maxcactus7 Thanks. I know all about Kurtis reference to “banana” measurements. I’m a great fan of his and watch every video he produces. He prefers those strange “monkey” measurements over there while us old timers still use the old “barley corn” inch. Bananas and monkeys just always seem to go together somehow.
Add 1/2 of an American Twinkee and you'd be exact!
@@webgomer “Twinkie”
Talk about a one stop shop! If Kurtis doesn’t have it in stock he will use all his resources and ingenuity to get the job done! Great show!
As always, nice job ;) 1 Month ago I bought a small rotary table for my hobby-WIG welder, what a coincidence ;)
Assuming:
Material: CuZn39Pb3 / CW614N with 8,46g/cm^3
No Bubbles is your Brass ;)
Final Thickness of both Chucks after finishing pass: 21mm down from 21,48mm
M22 Main thread
M10 thread in sliding chuck approx. 11 full windings of M10x1,5
3mm main Chamfer on chucks
140mm lenght of Bolt
30mm Hexagon (edge to edge)
22,00mm Diameter (because Curtis likes the zeroes ;) )
44mm lenght of M22 thread on Bolt
and many maths:
fixed Chuck : 698g
sliding Chuck: 676g
Bolt: 502g
Total: 1876,2g
Kind regards from Germany :D
(as you may or may not have noticed, I'm quite interested ;) )
😅
Hallo Andrej, meine Berechung hat was sehr änliches ergeben. 21mm*74 abzüglich ein 22,22 (OK... stimmt er mag die glatten Zahlen), bzw. 20,4 abzüglich Gewinde gemittelt 21,8. Bei der Schraube habe ich mich am Bild auf der Waage orientiert... Damit komme ich dann auf ca. 148mm und den Hexagonteil habe ich auf 20mm mit einer 4mm Abschrägung geschätzt. Das mit der M10 Schraube hast Du wesentlich besser abgeschätzt, da ich nicht auf die Idee gekommen bin die Umdrehungen zu zählen, die Kurtis braucht. Habe optisch geschätzt und 20mm angenommen.
Beim Material jedoch habe ich "abgerundet" 8,40 ist meine Dichte. Beim Aufschmelzen von Messing oder Bronze verdampft ein Teil des Zink und Bleianteils (habe ich bei einem Glockengießer gesehen, die ettliche Barren Zinn in die Schmelze nachgeworfen haben...OK... ist hier Messing und nicht Bronze)
Kurz: ich hatte 1884,2g berechnet... und aus beruflichen Gründen habe ich einen Faible für Schnappszahlen, darum ist meine offizielle Schätzung 1888g
Schöne Grüße aus Bayern
Welt seit mir gegrüßt glaube ich hab zu viel Lack gesoffen, zu viel MoonSun geschaut oder einfach falsch gerechnet?
kann mir einer sagen wieso ich auf rund 7kg komme?
eine M20x200 wiegt ja schon rund 544g und da frag ich mich wie man unter 2kg kommen soll und das ist nur ne Stahlschraube, Messing wiegt ja mehr
und ja ich hab mal im Video zugehört, teile sind als Bild zu sehen, Teile in Worten und den Faktor 8,46g/cm³, hab sogar nur mit 8,3 gerechnet, es ist ziemlich viel gegeben
hab sogar mal kommstelle gerundet und mit 8cm Durchmesser auf 4cm höhe (sind ja 2 scheiben á 21,5mm) und komm da schon auf ein volumen von 800cm³ und das mal 8,irgendwas, also 8 8x8 sind 64 und die zwei nullen 6400g... nur mal so als NEbenrechnung zum prüfen
Schöne grüße aus "The Länd"

I don’t care what happens this bloke wins 😂😂
Thank you CEE Editor for all of your effort in mixing the sound track on the parts speed-up with the normal rate sound and after when the video turn to normal as well. I know how hard it is and your job is perfect, the takes are perfect. Your effort is not in vain. :)
oh wow thank you very much! Appreciate it!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering it was a pretty cool addition - I did a double take when I heard it!
You are fearless Kurtis, the closeness of your tool to the chuck jaws on the brass bolt made me wince!
The thing that gets me about these videos is the care and perfection that goes into making something that is just a bodge to achieve what is required; this chap makes even a chucked-together tool into a jewel of a finished article.
Of course he can make his own tools, he's got $3million worth of machinery in that workshop, and the smarts to use them of course.
You both crush it with your content, editing and explanations of the project at hand. This video checked all my boxes for a machinist channel. Chips flying, threading on the the lathe and now melting metal to make part? Shut the front door! lol. Glad to see your channel continue to grow so rapidly!
Wide range of applications of that Knipex pliers is really impressive.
Machining that brass like butter shows the quality of your cutting tools and power of your lathes. It also depicts the range of material hardness you're dealing with on everyday basis.
The clamp itself is the epitome of applied art and design - 100% of function enclosed in 100% of form, 0% of bullshit.
Excellent video, both on Karen's and Kurtis' side.
Every time I think you guys can’t get better you blow me away.
Love it! Simple, durable, effective.
it's so fun hearing you mention bigstack. been a long time viewer of both yours and his channel. love to see the multiverse of makers crossing into one another.
Awesome, we watch his video's every Friday, Karen loves to see Ingot & Bullion 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Ingot and Bullion, two lovely doggos!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Time to get together, and let him have a drive away from your scrap bin, though I will guess most of the scrap is steel, so not really his forte, but there likely is enough of his favourite brass, copper and aluminium there to make him happy. Yes a pretty fair drive, or a flight, but you could post him a big chunk of stuff anyeay.
I am in awe of your talent, passion and knowledge. And that " I'll give it go" attitude. You're a smart cookie Kurtis
Great vid Karen 👌
thank you mate appreciate the support
I really appreciate the way Jen slows down the fast forward before completing a step. It really helps maintain perspective of what goes into this process and makes the video more enjoyable.
Impressive build quality from start to finish with home made brass casting ! 🏆🏆🏆
Good morning to you, its 0223am here in 60107 USA. Always great videos and tons of teaching you do.
Thank You
John A
good morning to you there mate very early, glad you enjoy the vids!
Great job, and great comments as well. I've avoided making one on the few jobs it would be useful, and I really enjoyed all the different bits and pieces that put this together. Very nicely done, a fine piece of gear is finished.
The precision of the machining and the video production are running neck and neck for gold medals.
When you were a kid, did you realize how much fun tool making would be? I sure didn’t. I work in clay and wood, and making tools takes all my current skills to execute properly. Love your content, howdy from Tennessee, USA!
I AM FROM TENNESSEE ALSO.
Nobody's asking
Amazing, the difference between the raw casting and the turned parts. I hope the winner will make good use of it!
thanks for watching
This is an excellent example of self reliance. You get to enjoy the fruits of you own labor and ingenuity when you use something you built. A tip of the hat to both you and Karen.
Haha that is definitely a cool concept, we usually just tack on a small rod and hang ground clamp on it lol. Definitely gone above and beyond for this 1 👍👍 definitely my favorite machine shop channel on youtube.
I love watching this channel. I always learn something new! You’re always making and working on some neat stuff!
Awesome! Thank you glad the videos are enjoyed
Cool to see the big stack D shout out! Love his videos too!
Won’t guess the weight as I won’t use one but amazing video one again guys! Love having a beer in the shed and watching the stuff you make weekly! Keep it up you legends!
This is a great project very achievable by many. Particularly loved the casting thrown in for good measure and showing recycling of material. You have a great presence on camera and really enjoy the content. Thanks for sharing. 👍🇬🇧
I am constantly inspired by your work and work ethic here in Vermont, USA! Ty ty ty!
Gday Kurtis and Karen, this turned out bloody awesome, the castings cleaned up like a brought piece, great idea doing a giveaway mate, I really have no bloody idea how much this weighs at all, good luck to all that enter, have a great weekend mate, Cheers
Hey mate hope your week has been a good one, yeah was really happy with how the pour went, was expecting a fail to be honest lol There's a big variety of guesses so far be awesome if someone gets it exactly! Cheers you have a good one Matty 😎👍
As Kurtis gave the dimensions in part, you can get an idea of the volume of material , but I think it is more than a banana
@@bryanlatimer-davies1222 Be sure to calculate the weight of those heavy holes when you bid. (:-)))
I always learn something here and have a great laugh at the end with the out takes Keep up the great work guys love it.
Hey mate thanks for watching and the great comment we appreciate it!
Yer just gotta love the photography..!!!
Absolutely hands down the best outtakes and bloopers ever recorded.
This is a great video! It was great that you admitted you didn’t know what you were doing but were giving it a go anyway. You are an extremely talented guy. Thanks to both of you for your content.
Castings came out great, considering no degassing additives, surprised how quick the melt time was, love that Wurth clock, great colour scheme.
Fantastic job Karen and Kurtis. Great giveaway, good luck to the lucky 🏆 🥇
Thanks for sharing.
hey mate yeah that melt time surprised me as well thought it would take longer, we're hoping it to someone that can make good use of it!
Pretty cool, I’m going to have to try to make one of these. Out takes at the end were great. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
That thing looks beautiful. I love brass.
Never knew you did smelting. I've wanted to get myself a furnace ever since watching CodysLab's videos. Great vid as always 😁
You should! lol
I have seen almost everyone of your videos and this one is definitely one of the best. I especially enjoy the way you can create useful items from materials at hand and not let them go to waste. I wish I had your machining skills as I just got a metal lathe and mill but I have a loooong learning curve ahead. At some point I plan to try to make this style of rotary ground welding clamp. Thanks for sharing!
I think the scammers are saying WE won the giveaway
I have the same belt/disc sander for my grinder. It's awesome. I put a brush wheel on the other side. Perfect combination.
I used to do a lot of pipe welding on positioners years ago, something like this would've been really great. Don't really do that anymore but I liked the video none the less!
Way cool . That came out perfect brother . Very awesome design.
thank you mate
love the work guys as always top work on the machining and camera work i would guess at 1936g if that includes the brass bolt 1654g just for the conductive rings
I love machining brass.
Nice solution to the problem! Always like the DIY solutions. I don't know when (if ever) I would personally need a ground like that, So no guess from this guy. Keep well out there.
I used to do a lot of rotating welding. We used a set of metal rollers and the ground was connected to their base. The material we were welding was pipe, 24" to 12' diameter.
You two are having so much fun with both your skills. Great work to you Kurtis and to you Karen. As always, Homey is keeping up with his toy patrols.
You both are inspirational. Im not an engineer, though growing up and watching my Dad make his own tools and gadgets, I can fashion some tools I need for my craft.
Great video and awesome way to take care of your viewers. You, among some other channels, have inspired me to follow a career in welding and fabrication. Thank you. My guess on the weight is 1896 g. Could really use one of these. Thanks, again, for the awesome video
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Bravo,another great video,informative,entertaining,and fun to watch.
Making a useful shop tool is time well spent,and even though it's not critical to the performance of the tool, you still had to finish off the head end of the brass bolt.,nice touch.
The camera tech is doing her fabulous job as always,nice shots at various stages of the project.
Keep up the great work,I really enjoy your videos,always fun to watch.
Take care,stay safe and well.
Give the shop mascot a big hug for me,he's a real treat.
cool design - i kind of figured that was how it worked and is great to see one in bits
i’m estimating around 1.77kg in total.
outstanding work as always…
I always loved the sound brass makes when it's turned in a lathe .
but all the little chips ... everywhere in the workshop - the chips are also usually quite unpleasantly sharp
Curtiss I learn so much every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.
Ingenious.
My basic theory is why buy when you can build. Saves money and expands your experience.
not to mention the satisfaction of using something you've made yourself 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering, Absolutely.
I'm not a machinist, so when you show that you are using a TNGG insert, I'm always wondering why and when the different types of inserts are used. I look up and see the spec sheet shows that it's pure tungsten carbide with such-and-such a hardness, and it comes in various grades. The type of coating is specified - I used to be in disk drive manufacturing, so I think CVD must be chemical vapour deposition, but there's also "PVD" and "NO".
It might be informative some time to explain the different types of inserts, and when you use them.
Thanks so much for your very interesting videos.
I will throw a guess out as well! I’m going for 1853grams for the brass components. Thanks for all the great content !
Hi Curtis. Thank you for sharing an amazing video, making a rotary ground clamp out of precisely 1.250 g of brass! Cheers!
1510.5 grams is my guess.
I love watching BigStackD and it's really awesome you did your own melt. Good job 👏👍 I hope to see you melt some more.
Hi there guys, you're absolutely brilliant at what you do. Keep up the great videos, love them. Cheers Dave T.
Thank you! Cheers mate!
Man, you are really cool! And laugh behind the camera is beautiful. Together you are the best team!
Bardzo świetna jest ta zrobiona robota i bardzo świetny jest to pomysł pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍
I started out with a muffin tray, had same issues. Took some 3mm wall angle scrap and made an ingot tray works great. I've since moved from propane and made a burner to use diesel, much hotter and cheaper. Also works great for burning off stumps lol
I would love to see a post on building your burner.
Hey guys, great vid! Nice to see the attention to detail for a give-away! BigstackD is also on my watch list! Not sure I am at the point of using it yet (my welding skills are still developing!), but my guess is 684g.
thanks for watching and Good luck 😎👍
Making it that well is just what you do!
Well done! I really love your videos. I can tell you put a lot of effort into explaining and editing. Great end product, fantastic work.
Hey mate. Love the videos and what a great job you've done. My guess for the parts of brass is 1932.831 grams.
My friend I’m very impressed with the way you scavenged around to make this happen. Waste not want not. And I’m sure Bigstack has asked for the chips laying on the ground. Glad to see you two guys are buddies. Been watching both of you for years.
That's a brilliant idea especially for the rotational type work with those massive pins .. Great job mate.
Your natural mechanical ability is superb
I just imagined if CEE and BigstackD collabed on a video, one making the other something and surprising them. I think it'd be pretty awesome, two of my fave Aussie youtubers in one video
Thanks for the video's , love everything you guys do and put out for us all to watch , my guess is 1500g , thanks again all the best .
cheers mate we appreciate that! Good luck 😎👍
Everything you do is 110% I am glad to see someone does it
Great job and cinematography 👍
This stuff is mesmerizing
Great video as always.Being from the other side of the pond we are at a disadvantage trying to convert bananas to grams 😁 .But here goes, my guess is 2165.5 grams or 4.7 bananas(pounds).Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!
Dependant on the alloy, Assuming RD of 8.5g per cm3 and a total volume excluding chamfors of 216.51 cm3 i would say 1790g adusted for including the chamfors or there abouts :)
Great vid as always ;)
Threads were 1.5mm pitch, so at 22mm long, sin@ x the ying of 1.5.....Better do ya maths or you'll miss out.😗
Beautiful work kurtis youre a true craftsmen.
Thanks for this fascinating Rotary Earthwire Attachment tutorial Kurtis & Karen. I'm glad you did this video, because I always wondered how you attached the all-important earth contact.
I have no doubt in my mind, it weighs exactly 43 Bananas (skins attached).
Are they ripe bananas or green? I went for Kg but I think you are onto something here. Have a great weekend Dav. ;)
@@Horus9339 They're Ripe QLD Bananas (export quality), but as a guide, I weighed my local Thai green bananas, hoping they'd give me the accuracy I need for this important guesstimate 😛.
Hope you have a great weekend too!
And….One banana w skins = ? Kg or lbs.? Cooking or eating bananas please? The devil is in the details.
@@ellieprice363 Plantain are not bananas, they are illegitimate measurements here boyo! Watch yourself, we are on to you.
@@Horus9339 (:-)). A Hispanic friend brought us some plantain and we cooked them and they were good. Those were big but I’ve eaten the smaller cooking bananas also.
Yes yes yes, I was able to work it out how the clamp worked and I have all the pieces to put it together. I knew my hobby lathe would come in handy. I haven't made it yet, but now I have first class information. It'll be the next thing on the workshop to do list.
And Karen is a spoilsport. Harrrumph What a muffin between friends. I use them to melt down Aluminium cans into ingots, true aluminium does get as hot as brass so my muffin tray is still good.............for ingot, it's pretty much stuffed for muffins....lol. Then I use the ingot to make other stuff.
Good content Kurtis, take a bow
All the best
Ian
Hey Ian that's awesome mate let us know how you get on with making one! lol yup muffin trays are now banned from the workshop
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering so ... if no tray, then muffins ... it's a deal i think
Você e muito profissional 👍👍👍👊👊👊
You sir are an artist!!!
Solid work as always, Kurtis! I switched trades from machinist to mechanic a few years ago and I thoroughly enjoy the content you're posting, sometimes I miss the smell of coolant, metal chips and polished metal and your videos kinda bring me back into the shop 🥴. I like your no BS, straight the the point explanation and Karen's editing compliment all of that very nicely! As for the weight of the brass parts of the clamp, I'll go with 1750 grams🤔
Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦
Hi Kirtis & Karen
Love your work, your both very dedicated to putting out quality work in engineering filming editing and information
The brass weight should be close to 1953 grams
Look forward to your next video
Regards
Paul
Wild this was almost what I guessed prior to seeing your comment.
Those are the best and satisfactory videos I've ever seen in my life. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
At a guess I’d go for 637g. Love the videos guys they are always interesting to watch
Nice one..I was hoping you'd show how that earth clamp was made one day 👍
after watching this would you have a go of making one?
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I'd try anything once..there's no better way of learning 👍
My guess is 3 pounds... I always wondered how this item was put together because it works great every time you weld wile it spins. Thank you for all the great projects you show us 👍👍👍
LOL mine too.
i do not think that you realize the pleasure that you give to the people that watch you 3 it is a pleasure and lot of memories from years back
Those piece of brass bar remind me of the bar end stock when I worked as a Screw Machinist. The machines I worked on were the Cadillacs of the industry, absolutely beautiful and produced the most deadly accurate parts an automatic lathe machine could make. They were so easy to set up, even as an apprentice with no foreknowledge of machining. Gonna miss those days but I'm headed in a better direction now with my current line of work. I hope to be taking on my own jobs in my own shop within the next 5 to 10 years. Cheer from the U.S.A Kurtis!
two series of BackstakD in one day + one of them from Cutting Edge engineering = gorgeous!
we've got nothing on BigStackD when it comes to melting! 😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering All that brass scrap could become a coin or small ingot if it made it's way to big stack D. (edit: I guess it's called swarf)
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering i think that you are done it pretty well ;)
You didn’t got your brass from scrap but anyway its cool technical process as i think :)
That is a really neat way of doing it!
Whenever I saw those, I thought there were carbon brushes inside.
Nice work, man :D
thanks for watching mate
Brilliant!
Fascinating - great video Kurtis.
I am a bit late but I made it now it's time to watch a new video from CEE .. thankyou for taking the time too make the videos ,,
better late than never! Hope you enjoy it mate
