Love the CAD, Cardboard Assisted Design.😊
To me, this is the type of video format I learn a lot from. To the point, well thought out and executed. Keep the repairs and fabrication coming.
Excellent video and excellent work. I am very impressed with the quality of the bracing and beefing up you did. It's great to see someone who isn't afraid to build something way stronger than it was beforehand. I really enjoy watching your videos and I can hear your voice just fine.
Thanks!
That knackered old bucket really got some love. Legend, mate !
It needed it 🤣. Thanks!
Nice job. People don't understand the time involved, you earned your wages , I hope the customer is happy..... He should be! Good video too, I'm
looking forward to more. Thanks
It’s hard to do a Rolls Royce job when the customer does not want to spend the money. I think you did really well. Congrats for a really good job. Cheers from Australia.🇦🇺
.
The dirtier the shop, the cleaner the repair
Don’t be looking in the background or I’ll have to tidy up 🤣
Fantastic work. It’s great to hear your descriptions of what you are doing and the reasons for the approach you’re using.
The weld sounds beautiful
Bloody impressive work, that's far from an easy job and your attention to detail and quality of work is great to see
Lovely work, well thought out and well carried out.
Thank you! Cheers!
That post was great to watch. Your approach to work is very methodical even if at times it looks haphazard. Your work will outlast that bucket 😂😂. I don't sleep that much that's why I'm watching this at 2:46am, being terminally ill has a few perks, lmao. I'm really glad I found your channel, be safe and well. 👍
That’s a hell of a repair! Excellent work.
Two more very good videos, no problems hearing you. 👍👍
Great work Oliver 👌🏻🙂
Thanks! 😀
You're last comment is so right. Your frame will be there long after that bucket has disintegrated. Excellent work, well done.
That “wobbly” bit you’re speaking of comes from the wandering or reach from your boring bar you can greatly diminish it by keeping the bar as close as possible to the cutting surface as possible.
Great JOB !!!love watching your videos .
Glad you like them!
Your videos are awesome keep on keeping on I can hear you perfectly. Maybe the people that can’t have hearing problems.
Thanks! Maybe they do 🤣
Only just found your channel, you do some great repair and fabrication.
We’ll described as you move along and not afraid to show the bits that don’t go to plan also top stuff. I’m a dairy farmer so I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into your projects.
Your neighbours are lucky to have you skills.
Phil.
Interesting seeing how you have to adapt to what customer will pay for.
It’s hard work sometimes.
Snowball Engineering , BETTER THAN NEW .
Nicely worked out young man
That’s an interesting bucket, i had never seen one before your videos. I found a few videos of them in action, they seem to be for light materials like saw dust, grain, wood chips etc.
This one was originally designed for sugar beet/ fodder beet. Because they tip at the toe they give the machine more lift height
Top class job the local contractors are most fortunate to have such a skilled and conscientious repair man on the doorstep. Most impressed with what you do and how you do it!
Thank you!
Thank you!
To quote Marshall McLuhan (1964) "The Medium is the message." CZcams is a fine example of this theory. Carry on.
Stick a spring in between the two colitis and the pin make it spring loaded on the buckets 👌
Fantastic job . With minimal bracing , surprised to see no worries with alignment after a single vee joint of that size . Recently welded some 32mm 90 deg angle plates for the milling machine & had to go the 3&1 rule to keep them dead square with no bracing . 👍👍👍👍
I think if the weld had been at 90degrees to the leg it would have been a different story.
Typical good job, simply smashing!!
I can see from your videos Oliver, that you’re always considering strength and loading - my old Dad’s favourite saying was ‘what’ll do a lot ‘ll do a little’ - like you he always wanted to leave anything stronger than original.
Takes me back to my apprenticeship in 1975 - I remember screwcutting on the lathe and running the carriage into the headstock - LOL
Top job. I would bring repairs to you. What more can you say.
Thanks!
great channel mate..only came across it yesterday..subscribed straight away...
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing,I learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Excellent fabrication
Great job!
Your attention to deail is spot on. Great job. Big project for sure.
A massive job very well done!
Great video and commentary on what you are doing.
Nice work I weld bridge griders with .045 dual shield and c02 in the US works really good
Great job. That was one huge project. You got some nice tools.
Bloody amazing work. It looks awesome. Cheers Andy, Perth Australia
Another excellent repair on a fairly knackered bucket that many would have said was only fit for scrap.
I would like to know how many hours that took
fantastic job
Top job mate
Cara!! Que trabalho fantastico! Uau!!!❤😊
Nice job 👍
Thanks 👍
Great work and modification to a used toe tip bucket
nice beanie.. greetings from Finland
Great video(s) and I love your shop and equipment, definitely pro. You kept mentioning price so I have to ask, what does a job like that go for - just a ballpark?
I’ve been self employed for a couple decades and I’m sure you’ve been in the game for a bit too. I had to steer away from customers that wanted to cut corners. More often than not when the thing that they didn’t want to pay for failed, that cheaper price was the first thing they forgot. But, there’s no doubt, what you did do will outlast that bucket and probably the customer too.
What asset you are to your company, excellent workmanship.
A big Hello from the Gulf in Florida USA.
He's the company and the asset
If a jobs worth doing then it worth doing right. Sound job getting that all back up and running.
Interesting and well produced videos- you deserve a lot more subs!
Im not a welder but im very interested in the video’s i am curious
1. How much actual time did all that take.
2. What is the cost of the materials used to make that repair.
Really enjoying British welding videos ty
Love the videos man! You're doing great work up there! Yalls shop kills me though. I need to head up there and help yall organize that sucker😂
Don’t be looking in the background! 🤣
Yalls ?
Yairs, y’all’s.
@@sonofadutchman9315 what the hell
@L Cope sorry lol y'all or you all
Good job
Thanks!
Good job, better than factory.
Your methods reminds me how over-engineered your repairs/projects are comparable to AEC’s Routemaster from the 1950s so in theory yours should last at least 50 or more years
Heavy metal!
Sorry another question - red oxide is that sprayed or painted?
Do you dilute the paint to spray and paint ?
Set playback speed to 0.25x, start at 34:14, and watch carefully. Those two eyes winked at me. Twice.
👍👍
I wish when I started out the had those air filtered helmets. They were very expensive for many years. I have one now and love it.
Took me a few years before I got one but now I wear it for every job that creates dust or fumes. Money well spent.
Outstanding job lad.... To see the job progress from the begining to the completion has been a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. I have one question for you, or anyone else who is reading this, That of the cost involved.. The materials alone would cost the earth, never mind the, time and complexity of the repair which has been a delight to see and you mentioning the owners budget, but surely, after all this, the cost between repair as opposed to an entirely new unit, can't be that much difference
A new bucket like this is about 15k
Surely that bucket won't blow away in the first stiff breeze!
Shouldn’t do, there’s some weight in it!
Putting a grease nipple in that is about as worthwhile as the man that fits indicators to bmws . #farmers 🙂 A farmer once told me that " if its new it doesnt need greasing , if its old theres no point greasing"
I have noticed when I used dual shield wire to weld with that I have to crack the amperage of a little hotter 510 amps hotter is what I use
vakwerk 💪
On one hand it is nice to see how do other people challenge these jobs, on the other hand it is frustrating watching time lapse because you feel lame, better you put a big watch in the background.
It’s pretty hard capturing every part of the job over several days and putting it all into shortish videos without speeding some bits up.
@@snowballengineering The videos are super but the time laps part is frustrating: Why can he weld so fast? Okay it`s time laps...
But I will keep on watching your videos cause it is entertaining and instructive at the same time.
Well, how can you follow that,two great videos great content as usual,will you persivere withe the machine you just bought looks like a fancy quickie machine from long ago😂 regards as always ⚙️⚙️
Ur a beast
Guessing that is going on a loading shovel as it looks bloody heavy empty.
You need to turn your mic up can not hear you very good great content
I bet lot of hours in that job. lot of material too. cant make a new one out of it- your work will outlast rest of bucket looking at how they took care of it. ha thks..
It’s not had an easy life that’s for sure!
Are you welding with solid mig or FCAW? Cheers
Just seen the slag coming off question solved :)
Were did you come up with the name Snowball Engineer I had a very good friend who came from Jamaica we all called him Snowball he loved it
It’s my second name
By the way Ivan, the radio doesn’t bother at all. Go ahead listen to your tunes.
Good
☹🇬🇧
Your talking volume is very low but machine noise is high.
Typical farmer, wants it fixed but doesn’t want to spend a lot of money 😂😂😂
The English version of Kurt (CEE) 🤔😏
Hey just to remind you it’s your channel ok,don’t be influenced by wannabe keyboard warriors music or not your choice only, obviously your soft spoken and not a motor mouth /down to earth guy keep putting out content mate! Because we subs love the channel 💯🫵🏻👍🏻
😛👍👍
Do you watch Cutting Edge Engineering channel?
I do. Very good
the welds you film from afar.
Excellent. Yeah - the machine volume is higher than your voice-over so I have to keep adjusting the vol. Everything else is great. Please keep making videos!
👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪👌👌🙏
5 up to 10 amp hotter
Watch Curtis from CEE for tips on dual core wire😆
One quicky,if pronounce "tuck"like "took" how do you pronounce "took a tuck" ,would it be "took a took"???
What this video production lacks is a dedicated videographer and editor. Snowball can learn from Cutting Edge Engineering for video production techniques.
Difficult when you’re just a one man band.
Up your game and hire someone. Cheers
I - and it seems many others here - really like the straight talking down to earth way these videos are presented. CZcams is full of slick editors and "production techniques" aka gimmicks - but here we have good honest video making along with a highly skilled guy trying to share what he does. So rather than talk about what things lack - accentuate the positive and be grateful for the fact he is trying. btw: the 278 subscribers to your channel says something about the video quality of your 7 videos - so maybe when you got your act together you would be better able to "advise" - just saying 🙂
Hey there. Why don't you start your own fabrication/repair business & then start a youtube channel all on your own & then show everybody how it should be done. Cheers
Nice one man. Great work. I am gonna sub now that you have the lovely workshopy noises rather than the music. Thank you.
Thanks!
