Saving a telehandler bucket from the scrap!

- In this video i rebuild the bottom half of a telehandler bucket.
The old floor was cut out with the plasma cutter, the bottom of the sides were also cut out as they were rotten from years of cow muck stuck to them. A new floor was then cut to length and pressed to shape with the press brake. The new floor, sides and bucket edge were then welded in along with 2 gussets that were cnc plasma cut out with the Kutavar. New straps were also welded onto the underside of the floor joining back onto the the top bracket straps
Thanks for watching.
Hope you enjoyed the video. - Věda a technologie
Another job well done, Olly

When someone gets up early on a Sunday morning just to watch your videos you know you're doing something right pal.
Your desire to re-invest in your business rather than holidays etc will insure your success in the future. Do stop and smell the roses occasionally, it’s important to maintain your mental health. Your work ethic is quite admirable!
Family are the roses. Without family, we are hollow. It's in our DNA.
I was asked years ago to do the same repair as im no welder /fabricator i declined. it still sits in the yard surrounded by nettles ,A lot of people have no idea the skill level needed to do a job like this , You myfriend made it look easy a credit to your talent.Keep it up Oliver .
We all learn, we all begin never having done it. You can do amazing things but only if you try.
@@magicbox9371 Thank you for those words of encouragement.
Like the attitude "Never mind fancy cars and vacations, just give me some new gear I can use to modify steel sheets!" 🙂
For the amount you use it that press is more than adequate, radial arm is another story.
Old is mostly gold.
The benefits of being an influencer. You have only had your channel a relatively short time and already starting to see the advantages. You are getting more confident too. I happened to find your first episode just after you posted it. Big change. Good luck finding sponsors.
Companies should definitely see how it could help their sales.
This channel is getting talk about on other channels, so definitely doing something right.
Great build
Mate, the bucket, has had an hard life, the floor hanging out, lots of patch welds & pieces put in. You did an excellent job, with, getting it, as good as you did.
Dirty hands clean money, a ferfect slogan. Great sticker😊
Nice job, Oliver. Do you know that people like you make this world go round? Not a lot of people can fabricate things anymore. Like you well done 👏
Thanks for showing the parallel horizontal edges of the bucket as the operator would see it. To my eye you straightened things out beautifully. Enjoyed the post!
Nice Job Oliver, looks like they dragged it out of the brambles. Yes you can make a Silk purse out of a Sows ear lol
Wow! 50,000 subscriptions are in sight Olly! Thats brilliant! Nice repair too!
Getting there!
Before investing in replacing/upgrading stuff you already have, I would invest in stuff you don't have yet. First and foremost an overhead crane. You do very well in protecting your eyes, ears, lungs, hands, etc, but your back needs protection too. It's the one thing you cannot replace or upgrade.... Very nice job on the bucket once again! Cheers.
Very very good advice!
definitely overhead crane, more floorspace or pallet racks and maybe welding table in any sort
IRONWORKER OR BANDSAW
or a guillotine is handy although questionable when there is a plasma already but sheet utilisation is pretty good for the bigger items. add capabilities vs improving capabilities.
Overhead crane is not that simply in this workshop. If I went full width then I’d need a 60ft wide one. If I didn’t go full width then I’d have to put posts in. Also the eves of the shed aren’t that high so I’d loose a good bit of headroom
Buckets are never the same when they have been bashing stuff into the ground, used to pry stuff out of the ground and slammed into piles of stuff. Of all the buckets I have repaired, not one has been square. And its pointless trying to square a bucket, so long as the mounts fit the machine and you have done your best that is all you can do. 5mm at one end can be 30mm (for example) out at the other end of the item. Tidy job on that bucket young man!
All my work is square. I can’t hammer out a dent in my car but buckets are easy once you gain the knowledge to make do as you wish. I give you……Dogs
Buckets are not square. They are made to not rub the sides of the hole you dig. The edge that digs is slightly wider than the cavity carrying the earth.
Wet start in north wales but snowball engineering brightens the day
Ahh sweet, a Snowball update!!
Another top quality job mate. Although i'll bet you that It'll be put straight to work without ever seeing a lick of paint!
That was a very tired-looking bucket. The repairs look great...better than new!
You wouldn't have known that's the same bucket, it looked destined for the scrap heap. Your press is a great advantage to your work👍
Watching you work is great. Thanks for sharing 😊
Hello from Canada. I recently found your channel after hearing a recommendation from another channel. You're the real deal. Don't change. You go about your business and bring us along; just the way I like it. Rural tradesfolk handle everything that needs fixing. You live the life so you know what your customer is using the equipment for. You're gradually adding great equipment and you're smart enough to design from scratch. You deserve all the well wishes you receive.
Ollie, thats a bucket repair that Baz and cal @ Welderfabber would be proud of!! 👍👍👍
Amazing job on that bucket. You are an inspiration mate. Cheers from Canada.
Thanks for the video Olly.
I know you have repaired some of these before but still enjoying the workman ship that goes into them.
👍
Farmers weld is called cocky Shit in Australia 🇦🇺 love your work
It’s also called ‘Town Hall square welding’ or Pigeon s••t welding’ here in the UK. Either way it never lasts.
@@michaelbright9162 Or flock of seagulls
I do like the term Farmers Weld. It's Duct Tape of the welding world. Not pretty but gets the job finished I need it for.
Another superb repair on a bucket that looked only fit for scrap
Better now than when it was new
Another great tidy job Oliver...a pleasure to watch thankyou
The farmer definitely got his moneys worth and left that until the very latest he could before getting Oli to fix it properly 😅
A second life for this bucket. Well done Oliver
Super job👍, never easy refurbishing old agricultural equipment.
The customer was probably aware that you hate painting 😂 that bucket that was ripe for the skip, brilliant finish. As you like your press brake, not sure if there anyone out there that could do a head to toe service and provide it with the upgrades you need. As for your radial arm drill probably best to upgrade it, unless again there is anyone out there that can service it and upgrade it and bring it back in pristine condition. I like that your level headed, there are to many people out there who want everything at once, yes it would be nice but you have to be realistic. 👍
Junk coming in... work of art going out!
Thanks! And now for a coat of paint!!!!
Thank you!
Another great job Oliver. Love the Sunday morning videos 👍
Nice job Oliver. Half the bucket replaced means half the cost to the customer, so half it is. After all, it's loading manure, not earth moving. Thanks for showing us how, Oliver. Cheers.
Tidy job again Oliver thank you for sharing.
With the work you’re doing & it’s very good , you definitely deserve upgrades for your machinery & good luck with achieving your goals
Love watching these guys with their "new" tech, back when I was an apprentice it was 9 inch grinder or oxy-acetelene to remove old material. Oh if only we'd had plasma cutters and air fed masks. New follower here, now it's Snowball Eng. and CEE as my favourite CZcams channels.
You made that look easy cracking job thanks.
Sunday and a "not so fun job" still showing your ingenuity and competency making it another well worth video to watch.
Super filming. Thanks
Great job fixing the bucket Oliver. You should be proud of making it better than the factory with your upgrades for strength and durability for your customer. Hopefully they get several more years of use from the bucket. You might want to make your own gage for the back of the break. Look at how they make a slide table for a shear and I believe you can make something work for your needs. Great video and can't wait for the next one.
Good job! I especially liked the bent corner gussets! I'm guessing the customer wont paint it... "I'll be back"
another well done job with customer satisfaction
I'm no machinist/fabricator, Oliver, but having watched several channels similar to yours over the years, I've noticed that most favor the older equipment when they can get their hands on good pieces--big old presses, big old milling machines and shapers, etc. But they do often have to rebuild certain components or make replacement parts when OEM are no longer available, just to keep them running well and in spec. If you do decide to, say, rebuild your milling machine to fix whatever is warn, we'd be up for watching ;)
What another welcome weakly fix good job Olly
I would have had the same feeling at you. I'd want to square it, but it's already crooked, so it makes no sense to overwork the issue.....but I want it square.... keep up the good work. As a fabricator myself, I enjoy seeing your solutions.
Hello Oliver, Another awesome video. From kiwi land
Really slick job Ollie. Every week I see a new to me technique from you. This week it was how you separated the sheets of steel with the fork lift using a small section of box. Brilliant. You inspire me every week with your abilities! Work safe and have a great week. Fred Ontario, NY
Well done, you don't claim to be an expert in the trade, but you are showing how necessity is the mother of invention. Not always a new invention, but you usually reinvent the wheel. Just another way to skin the cat. We all learn many things in many trades by watching others work. At 78 I'm never too old to learn. You are sure to find more customers via watching you. Good luck.
“Farmer welding.” 🤣🤣 Hey, wait a minute, while not a farmer, I too suck at welding. 🤣 Interesting and amazing work dude. ✊🏻
nice to see bit farm life outside the shed! lets see the cattle 😁
Nice job Ollie! Cheers!
That's a better then new bucket. Great job my friend as always.
Stay well be safe, greetings from NE rural Ohio, 🇺🇸
It would be great to see some of your repairs in operation by customers !!
No doubt, steel certainly is not free, at first I questioned rebuild but it quickly made sense when I thought of the numbers. Thanks for the upload!
You are just amazing I could literally watch you for hours on end. Love your work and I also love how calm you are. Nothing seems to phase you. You just get on with it so laid-back great content amazing work and thank you for sharing it with us all. 😊
People who abuse the equipment then do dodgy fixes and then , when it’s totally trashed out bring it to you and get back a better than new piece of kit . I hope you got well compensated for your time effort and skill for the repair of this muck bucket that was not even cleaned up before they brought it to you.
I have been impressed with that old press it seems to me to be fit for the purposes you use it for ? Anything with electronic “CNC” kit on it will be ok for production repetition but a pain in the you know what to program for every job of the type of work you do. I think I would get a replacement radial arm drill first or find good horizontal boring mill for you money and type of work you have been doing .
That bucket reminds me of triggers broom on only fools and horses it had 4 new heads and 9 new handles witch had had for 17 years !! Nothing wrong with farmer welding it keeps things useable untill a professional can sort it out properly well done olly
We have a CNC press brake at work, and for our use it's very overkill. Not to mention all the hazzles we have with it.
If you're doing mass production it's a worthwhile investment, but for your one off jobs you should stick with something with less computer operation.
You can upgrade the press brake you have with both a back stop and automatic depth/pressure regulation.
The first one I used had a motorized back stop with a mechanical millimeter counter
I should also mention I'm a sheet metal worker by profession.
I like watching your content since you have a few unorthodox solutions.
You've given much inspiration
A real tidy job there - looks more like an industrial repair than agricultural, loved the use of a spacer for the stitch length

We both know Oliver there is nothing worse than fixing another person's work. Worst still is fixing a bucket that may not have been assembled right in the first place.
As for painting it, considering its state when it arrived with all the cow dodo covering the inside, we both know the owner will not bother to paint it.
Look at it. Just look at it. That bucket has not seen paint in whar, 20, 30 years or more. Did you see a speck of paint anywhere because I'm sure I didn't. Not unless it was rust coloured.
Great work, Oliver. 😁🏴⚒️
You definitely get a lot of interesting jobs in for repair or making. No doubt you'll hit 50k subscriptions pretty soon.
Brilliant job Oliver
Beautiful job Oliver. You’re a real craftsman at work.
Nice work Oliver.
Yeah, that’s a nice project bucket turned out really good. Nice work as usual snowball.👍
Super strong!
Like this man realistic down to earth, priorities in the right order, great work ethics
Brilliant Video.
Great job Oliver 👏 👍
Rock solid job - again, Mr Snowball! Thanks for showing us amateurs!
Neat use of the weld length template Ollie!
I love watching you ,its great to see you run the shop . I also love your inventiveness.
Great job Oliver, watching from Thailand. 👍
You absolutely nailed it again Oliver, your channel has become one of the best CZcams channels available, No fuss, No faff, just honest commentary from a man doing an honest day's work. Not interested in fancy holidays and cars, you simply want to update your workshop to help you do the best job possible says it all. I loved your "Tack it n Whack it" comment.
Excellent job, what a transformation.
Marvelous, Little Master... I have thumbsupped all your videos. From Durban, South Africa... All the best my man...🤗
Congrats, good job Olly
Another great video Oliver fantastic content keep them coming 👍
Looks great oliver
Watching from Brazil, keep up that good work.
I love to watch you design and cut out your work , very well done , S E Texas, See Ya
Good job! I think they're nobody ever clean the bucket out and left all the manure in it and the manure just ate it away. But the owner will be happy with that. Great job!.👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Awesome job! I like to see a work well done. Thank you for the lesson!
Awesome Job once again Ollie 😎👍👍 you ROCK MAN !!!
Fancy cars and holidays never last but new machinery will build your business well done oliver for another fantastic video
Excellent repair
Brilliant Olly
at the end thats a brand new bucket, wel done.
cheers
ben.
Great work Olly, re-investment will stand you in good stead for the future
Excellent job, well done. Take care
Triggers broom of a bucket Oliver 😂 👍 vid
Top job as always 👌
It might not be possible yet financially but I’d suggest you erect an extension to your shed. Or build a large new one. That way you could use one for heavy engineering and maybe another for your machining. Space is quite limited in your current shed and you’d certainly make excellent use of it.
Very cool, and the emblem also 👍💪😃
Mega project,
The heel protector, are chonky, bucket will have plenty of life on it
Great outcome. Your local farmers are lucky to have such a competent and committed tradesman.
Nice repair! You made it look easy, but I know it’s not! Great skills with your fabrication.
