Replacing BROKEN Eye & Repair CRACKED Cylinder for D10 Dozer | Machining, Welding, Milling
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 06. 2022
- This job was bigger than we thought! This video is a job we did to replace the broken eye and repair the barrel end on a hydraulic cylinder ripper lift barrel for a Caterpillar D10 Bulldozer. The eye was completely broken in half and had started pulling out of the base of the barrel causing bad cracks. This shows the step by step process to replace the eye on the hydraulic cylinder barrel and repair the cracks in the barrel end. We start with cutting the broken eye off, chasing out the cracks in the barrel end and stick welding to repair the end. We also machine up a new eye before fitting and welding the eye onto the barrel. We use our milling machine to finish bore the eye to spec before drilling & tapping a hole for the grease port. What do you think of the finished part?
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-1740G LAthe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

@0:36 Thank God. I never would have caught that, either.
Have a great weekend Karen, Kurtis and Homey
The clock showing how much is involved during the fast forwards.
so disappointed in your digital level not making the noise. if your a binky fan on bad obsession motorsport, you know exactly what i mean. and someone get that man a padded stool. sitting on a milk crate for any length of time is not fun!!
Found the diamond cutting wheel shaver then Curtis?
Blows my mind how some people have the knowledge, the expertise and the skill to do things like this, especially how good you weld, amazing.
Those pills, are " astuter than me"!!!!!
God loves their hearts!!!!!
if you are a mechanical you wouldn't see anything special
@@Alex-0310 what?
Our shop performs these type of procedures fairly often. Customers think these repairs are 10min welds. Until they see the description on the bill.
That's what i was thinking. Did he go to Oxford school of machinery and overall knowledge?
Wow. This video had it all. Assessing actual extent of damage. Stick welding. Mig welding. Non-destructive testing. Torch cutting. Lathe and mill work. This was a master’s class. Well done. 🤯
The photography and editing of these clips is just fantastic.
Before watching the video, I did not believe that such a welding would be very solid, but after watching it, I really was convinced. This is the first time I have seen such a long and careful work and such a solid welding process. I really congratulate you. Greetings from Istanbul to beautiful Down Under.
It's pretty cool to see the channel growing. Who would have thought that over 387,000 people would enjoy watching some Aussie bloke make metal chips. It's a real testament to Kurtis' skill, Karen's cinematography, and of course Safety Officer Homie's oversight.
Hey mate we honestly never though our channel would grow this big! We really appreciate the community of our supporters that always take time to watch and comment on our videos, that's what makes it so worthwhile doing the videos knowing they are being enjoyed. Cheers, Kurtis Karen & Homie
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering looking forward to the 1M mark!!!
You bring such joy into our lives with your mission impossible jobs!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering If you take the time to say a sentence 5 times in the camera for us
I think it's only fair that we take time to watch it 🤣
I'm doing tree work and landscaping /gardening but being fascinated by metal works since childhood, as my Grandfather was doing the same work as you, in times with less hydraulic and more mechanical driven machines, he left in 1979 at 80 years.
@@charlesseymour1482 nothing like a Sunday afternoon watching Curtis pull something out so I can say, "How in the hell is Curtis going to fix that? Ohhh....that's how."
"I would not have seen it" - Love that dry and straight-faced delivery, pure comedy. Made my day.
the winner of understatements goes to Kurtis 🏆😂
He'll catch you out with his comedy grenades. He just casually rolls it past you and then Kaboom!
That's dinkum Ozzie humour. Dessicated.
Amazing work !😅
Excellent craftsmanship, perfect job capturing the complete repair audio video was flawless.
I could watch Curtis all day great narrative and extreme talent. Few of you around thanks
Love that there is no excessive music. Time lapse sections don't seem to alter the natural sound of the machines working which is cool. The editing is great and makes the craftsman look perfect which we see through the outtakes, he is not, but it very evident he is extremely skilled and has a lot of practical experience. This is an all around fantastic channel.
I'm seeing more channels do that, "timelapsing" the video from a normal speed capture, and leaving the audio at normal speed. It's a very pleasant effect.
I hate irritating music, his videos are to the point, educational and adding the pitbull to the videos is clever...
I hate a dirty messy shop, you can spot a professional buy how clean and organized his shop is..
@@luisrivera3056 drives me up the wall with that background irritating noise,
while classical music may be good or helpful, " northern people " doing this kind of work, the music is in the rythm of the work and focus. that is what " we " do. i have a friend who married a german. their family goes to Germany for 6 months a year to make money. Recently one of their children wants to school there. I asked him about the influx of illegal or quasi-legal immigrants. He said, " oh you know the culture is changing ". he said it non-challant. If he wanted that " changing culture " he would be staying here in South America. Never occurred to him he was hitch-hiking on German culture and would just abandon the car when it no longer served him - which if illegal immigration continues - will be soon.
JR • well id say the repair job he did was perfect,so that makes him not only a craftsman but a perfectionist. A repair job like this takes more than just being skilled,you have to have knowledge of many different aspects relating to how different metals behave under heat and stress. This is perfection at its finest.
What a breath of fresh air, no added bullsh. Just right to point and explanation along the way. It's obvious why this channel grew. Never change. Keep it just as simple
Justly said, brother!
Howdy from Colorado USA. I have over 40 years of experience in the welding field as a tradesman & weld sales specialist, and in my honest opinion, you are seriously the best all-around welder on CZcams. Love your stuff. I'm a big fan.
Very good work. This kind of skilled professionals make a country great.
Gotta admire Kurt’s depth of knowledge and his common sense. Whether machine or procedure, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
If it’s too broke don’t fix it either.
...but if it's broke _just right_ fix it!
Unless it's in computer engineering then if it isn't broken it doesn't have enough "features".
@@kenore4003 Or it needs rebooting.... again....
@@uglysteve1 lol
At first glance, it was; "Oh no, not another dozer eye wrenched apart." Then you found the cracks in the end bowl and it got really interesting! Your facility with welding anything to anything else with an armoury of techniques is awesome. Most of all, I can't help but admire your "I do it this way because it always works for me."
That's not 'old fashioned' or cantankerous, it is good commercial sense. If there is no good, commercial or practical reason for doing something differently, apply engineer's rule one; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I can't claim to be the engineer you are, but it's always worked for me. Great vlog Kurtis and Karen's videography just gets better and better. (Her time shortening sequences, coupled to the slightly undercranked sound effects are particularly effective. Thanks all round.)
Roger Whittle, for a younger man he is incredibly schooled and works with absolute mad skills. I have been a welder/fitter over 50 years and this shop is very rare, clearly the job is done perfectly and the choice for the lo hydrogen-7018! These people are beyond good! Thanks for posting these.👍😎🤯
I don’t know shit about machining, but I can recognize craftsmanship - this guy is a master craftsman.
The "ONE MAN" all around machine shop WOW in action
I don't even know what is the best on this channel: welding work, or precision lifting of parts of one sling. perfect balance.
It’s that Ying/Yang shiz goin on.
@@overanDownUnder need more backstage video cuts with Homeless 🐕 and lifting tryouts
Occasionally, he will mark where the sling goes after he finds the balance point. I want the sling that hooks onto the forks by itself like when he lifted it off the bench after tacking it in place.
Whoever is doing your editing, the blending of the audio during the sped up section is superb. The start and stop audio of the tools lines up perfectly. Well done!
A meticulous operator! Sure of every move made!!!!
He is the man! The one to count on, for ALL your Australian needs!
We hope we don't overload you, as we know, you have a life , outside of the shop...God be with you,... Always!!!!
I love that rosebud. 😮
Another excellent video! Being a retired engineer living in north Florida, I really enjoy your machine content and Curtis' skill in performing the repairs. The camera work is also impressive! Here in the U.S., we are just beginning to celebrate the July 4th Holiday; a few years ago I was in Australia during your Australia Day celebration. What a party!
Happy 4th of July holiday to you all!

This is what we called Industrial Arts, back in the day. You need this specialized skillset to keep our modern society moving. Not everything or everybody needs an MBA. This is just as important, if not more so. As a college professor I recognized that college is not the end all for everyone. Apprenticing, journeyman and Mastercraft men is a very skilled and valuable profession. College, especially now is almost a worthless endeavor with political agendas getting in the way of actual learning.
Very much so. I did an MBA in 1987 when it was worth something and then we decided to start our own 27 acre vineyard, we loved to work outside. Did all of the work ourselves including planning, planting, posts, wires, irrigation and equipment building and tractor, sprayer and mower maintenence. The teachings from the MBA just gave us the financial and management discipline to make it successful, loved it.
There's a joy you get from working with your hands, and seeing a well done job.
Worst'less engineerz were the bain of my job...no nothings making foolish decisions by grooop thimk. Moved lots of large beam saws and panel saws. Doing all the set ups, level , air elec, mech. Designed and built tooling jigs, production fixtures.
Used " hillman" 10 T load rollers and railroad jacks for moving the large chassis of panel saws. Three thousand mm bed length, x
18 ft pull back and pusher assemblys on 20 ft of I beams
400 T molding machines with 4 inch tie rods
I am designing and teaching a high school course that combines the best of Individual Arts, engineering, mechanics, and robotics. Modern day students learning modern day skills that are actually useful.
My Students favorite part of the curriculum: Tool of The Week
In my experience not everyone is trying to get a Masters. There are plenty of people doing this type of work and enjoy it very much. But if one prefers to earn an Masters and have a career that uses it that should be okay as well. Obviously this type of work "is" being done now but electrical engineers that create the CBC controls for his lathe, mill ect are needed as well. Like my 93 year old Gramma said before she passed "Matthew sometimes the good old days weren't all that good".
I like your little "graveyard" of broken bits.
Sir you did a HELL of a job
It must be a hell of a confidence builder to know that somewhere, in the wilds or the mines of Australia, someone's first thought is, "F***. Call Kurtis!"
definitely makes us proud!
The first person before the person calling Kurtis is going, 'Oh f*ck!' 😅
The time lapse of all that stick welding drove home the mind-blowing amount of patience that this work requires.
Oh boy, yeah! It’s the hardest thing to explain/justify to customers. Especially, new customers who aren’t familiar with your quality of work and are accustomed to repairs only lasting a short while. Funny how people will freely admit that they know nothing about welding but, somehow, seem to know how long it should take 🤷🏻♂️.
Kurtis, I can't imagine how many manuals one would need to refer to exact manufacturers specs on these massive parts! Your knowledge of all the moving parts on these various machines is mind blowing!
I would bet there are only a handful of welders in the industry that would take on these intricate tasks. Cudos to you my friend for being such a inspiration to all who machine and weld!
I'm officially addicted to your channel! Great camera work and outtakes! Love Homey too. Cheers mate!
This has to be one of the best repair videos on CZcams. Everything done perfectly! Great job!
At 5.10 you had me dodging in incoming shower of sparks! Your close ups of the stick welding arc were very professional.......as was the welder himself - of course. Thanks for continuing to make these videos......much appreciated.
thanks for the great comment!
I'm a long retired Fitter & Machinist, finished my working career working in a mine heavy equipment workshop on dozers, haul trucks etc. I found watching you work very satisfying, I don't regret for one second the trade career I chose for my 50 year working life. It's always a good day when you can look back and see what you've achieved.
Hello from Texas! New subscriber. I am a retired ironworker and certified structural welder w/ Xray. Kurtis I just had to say how pleased I was watching you burn 7018's on this hydraulic cylinder. I too have burned a few 7018's and know all too well how dependable they are. We love your videos and the dog too.
Du bist einfach der Profi! Chapeau!
The idea with the clock in the background is genius! You make everything look so simple and quick, so knowing the time it takes to do some tasks, really makes an emphasis on how time consuming and hard work it is. Thanks for another amazing video!
Not sure if the Wurth clock in the background is from the German Engineering company that made the screw conveyors on four Tunnel Boring Machines, we used to construct two railway tunnels under the Storebaelt channel in Denmark. The screw conveyors regulated the flow of mined material out of the cutter head, to ensure a controlled plug was formed to react against a ground pressure of around 5 psi. That too was some great shop work to fine tolerances.
Watching Kurtis at work is kinda soothing and great to watch the different skills.
I could watch this stuff all day long, I love the way Curtis is so precise and all around A+ content. You can definitely tell he's been doing his job for a while, his workmanship shines in his finish products.
I think only one better I’d love to do some of these pieces of satisfying work with Kurtis as my mentor
Wow! As a laymen I would have said 3 days work just watching everything you done! Awesome 🙌🏻
Als Werkstoffprüfer der hin und wieder mit solchen Schäden konfrontiert wird, muss ich sagen: Gut geplant und ausgeführte Arbeit!!! Sehr Gut!!!
This is one of the few channels I consistently watch as a machinist myself because the way you got into machining from the industrial repair side is the opposite direction I came from so you developed a lot of tricks picked up from field work that I never would have developed, and I can steal those tricks on the occasions I do that kind of machining.
Being a retired agri fabricator engineer this was very satisfying to watch, its amazing what you can do when you have the tools and workshop...testament to your knowledge and skill Kurtis...
Beautiful pup ! Amazing welding superb work !
"im gonna stick with what I know" ...this is why I like you sir, the voice of experience and intelligence which make your bloopers that much more amusing lmao.......always great content dude...keep it coming
Im not a welder or an engineer but, I really appreciate watching the skill and accuracy that goes into things like this. I really didnt have a clue how something could, or would, be repaired like this. Fantastic video, thanks. The out takes are hilarious too. Keep it up. 😎👍
Yeah I would have had no idea what this entire work process consists of were it not for this video. Very interesting.
One thing I've learnt over the years is that you don't call a pipefitter a plumber and you don't call a machinist a welder.
Great job on relocating the grease port Kurtis , I suspect there will be quite a few engineers wondering why this didn’t occur to them ! BTW the clip at the beginning shows some overly aggressive ripping , no wonder these eyes fail !
My thoughts exactly!
Operators sure know how to break shit 🤣
@Tony White somehow I doubt that. Engineers' poo doesn't stink. (so they say *snif*Gag)
Wow, this video summarized most of my technical course in mechanics in just a few minutes. Sensational.
It is rare for another man to intimidate me competence wise, but I bow down to this dude.
Yes
Yes 💯
It's amazing how much time it takes to set everything up before you even get to do the repair. The devil's in the details. Another great video you two thank you. you guys have a good weekend.
ain't that the truth! Some jobs, the setup is longer than the actual repair 😭 You enjoy the weekend too mate
Spend the time to set things up perfectly and the repair itself is a piece of cake and you only have to do it once.
I am not a welder and am astonished by the amount of filler you lay down. Again, proper planning, attention to detail and pride in your work. I wish I had something broken to send you for your perfect treatment. From a viewing perspective, the camera shots are spot on as well.
👍👍👍
I had no idea you could fill structural gaps like that with weld. Amazing
@@btcbob11392 That's how you do it.
The fact that there is never anyone around, to help Curtis, kinda shows what the world is coming to. ( I know, half the time, you don't even want the headache)
I blame teachers saying you never make it without college but as a tradesman get an apprenticeship or got to a trade school it's much easier on the wallet and pays a lot better
@@dridtheasexualredneck6047 Job security, doin the manual stuff most kids would never think of doing.
I love how you go about your jobs...the right way. No unnecessary nonsense...you don't treat your shop like a sterile, surgical operating room. Its a real world environment and you get stuff done. I worked in a similar shop at first, then went to a shop that spent more time polishing their machines, meeting about whether the safety barriers should be Caterpillar yellow or John Deere yellow, and how many pairs of latex gloves each guy should wear all of the time... than they did getting the work done. It drove me mad.
Also, I would fly to Australia just to have unmonitored access to your scrap bin for an hour or so. 😅
Close ups, split screen, slow mo, time lapse, welding shots - a.... ma.... zing... with lots of extra zing. Well done, thanks for the great info and the CEE t-shirts are a winner. Cannot wait for the next episode!
Cheers mate thanks for the great comment, we are glad it is enjoyed!
Karen, liked the split screen, have a look at the film "The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)" for some really extreme use of split screen, search CZcams for the Polo Match sequence. Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos.
I will definitely take a look at those, thanks for sharing Tim 😁
I came across your video by accident and couldn’t tear myself away until I watched it to the end. It's nice to look at precise and high-quality work. I think you like what you do, and that's cool
As a former teacher in metal shop and now just a back yard welder and fab man for around the ranch, you have no idea how good it is to watch someone that has been trained correctly how to weld and why to clean the weld before the next pass. I watch so many videos on here that show people just keep on welding over and over the same weld and never putting a chipping hammer to their work until they are finished. They have no idea (or don't care) about the slag they have left behind and they weakness it causes. Thank you for the enjoying video and if you ever see him again thank your teacher who taught you the right way and right speed to weld. It shows.
The only thing I was taught and I taught all my students (and you may have done but it did not make the video) was when tapping (or threading depending ) I always break the thread about every 1/2 to 3/4 turn by turning the tap backwards about the same I turned it forward. I just found that by doing that I get a cleaner thread the first time you go to use it. Just way to old school I guess but at my age that is the only thing I know
Same rod I use . You can’t beat Low hydrogen 7018 for these type of fixes . Top notch job my friend looks better than factory. As a retired after 39 years as a heavy equipment mechanic welder in Southern California on massive rough grade mass dirt moving jobs , that’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever seen . I know why contractors bring you their work , because you are one of the best machinist and welder hands in the Business. Thanks for sharing the videos .
respect mate thanks for the comment 😎👍
Finally finished watching this week's episode!
I love seeing the whole setup and measuring process. I know that's where more than half the skill is. If you don't show it...it's like seeing someone paint a car without seeing them sand and mask for 3 days. Have a good weekend and take care.
Too right-preparation/forethought is so much of every project and as experience is gained, efficiency is improved. Clearly K&K have a ton of experience.
Clearly this fella is one of the best in the business.
Man you have Gold hands ,Amazing skill,pure metal art...thanks for showing this !Chapeau💪
I really enjoyed the outtakes of course 🤣
I think explaining the reasons as to what you’re doing and WHY you’re doing it that way makes videos like this so inviting. Keep up the awesome content you three 🤗
Oh definitely. Taking the "what we are doing" and adding in the "why" really does help quite a lot.
I've even found myself watching other videos of people that ended up having to do some unexpected machining so they can go back to what they normally do and have found myself talking to my computer saying "you need to do ..." before realising i was doing so,
and then it turning out to be exactly what he needed to do & ended up doing. Usually it was learned from here.
Ditto that. 😁
I'm a beginner welder and fabricator only for the home and I absolutely loved how you used all the skills I learned in my course, mig welding, using the lathe, and fabricating.
All three of these skills are needed to optimize your chances of getting the job done without sending it out to someone else and having to pay for it. I especially liked the way you cut the offsets on the eye that you eventually used to build up the weld. I believe you needed that space for your welding tip to fit and allow you to lay down those beads, genius.
Considering the quality of the finished job, it's very refreshing to watch the outtakes and see that you are a normal human being 😂 not some ciborg with ultra precision vision and pliers for hands.
I've seen and heard so many bad things in my life, watching you work is like a therapy, slowly restoring my trust in another human being.
I hope all your best wishes come true.
Much respect from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thank you team . Beautiful repair and video.
Watching you work makes me realize how backward we were at G.M. We had those spring clamp holders that the stick kept moving around in ,a chipping hammer and a wire brush and i have only been retired three years. You are the welder every welder wants to be. I would think a back massage is in order after all that welding, it must have taken a while.
A little under 2 hours of welding time. If you notice Karen puts a clock in the background showing how long the repair takes. Started welding at 2:55 and ended at 4:40
@@nunya5891 It made my back hurt just watching, thanks pal.
@@nunya5891 I hadn't noticed that before. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
If the stick kept moving around in your spring clamp holders the were wore out and needed replaced. The stinger he's using is better at holding the rod and allows more amps, I never really liked them because they was slower to change rods. But I never used them much and may have never gotten use to them.
Camera work's getting better. Good angles and effects. When Homie appeared I actually said out loud "There he is". Normally he's the lead in. I was missing him. Great job on the reconstruct in the eye.
Karen knew there would be some viewers wondering where he was, only a short appearance this week he will have to make up for it next time 😁
" that's the process that has never let me down, so i am not going to change today. " Brits ! god bless these guys and great instruction for machine shop workers.
Шедевр! У токарного станка с 1964 года были заводы сейчас частное лицо. Очень приятно смотреть на правильный подход к решению задач и вскрытие проблем до начала восстановительных работах, экспертиза самое главное для этого, но не после. Конечно потрясающее оборудование, но без мозгов и правильного подхода это КУЧА ЖЕЛЕЗА.
СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО РЕПОРТАЖ С КОММЕНТАРИЯМИ. С УВАЖЕНИЕМ ТОКАРЬ...
Yandex translation of @user-ft4zk1jc1n:
A masterpiece! The lathe has had factories since 1964 and is now a private person. It is very pleasant to look at the correct approach to solving problems and opening problems before the start of restoration work, expertise is the most important thing for this, but not after. Of course, it's amazing equipment, but without brains and the right approach, it's a BUNCH of HARDWARE.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO REPORT WITH COMMENTS. SINCERELY, TURNER
@@paulfreedel4709 nice thanks!
The video editing techniques are next level. Great use of sound during the timelapse sections and I really like the combination of shots when panning down during the second boring cut on the milling machine. Really subtle techniques that add a lot to the finished product! Well done!
thank you!!!
Also the clock in the shot sometimes to show length of time worked.
What Tyler said! The production values and shot mix are getting better and better. Go team!
Oh, also. Does Homie always fly the helicopter?
Professional editor for 20 years here: I was about to make a comment just like this! The things that stood out to me were the transitions at 35:45 (genius, more of this, perhaps even with a slider rig), and the clever use of temporal aliasing at 15:47 and 17:11 to make the slow turning illusion, among other small things. I will say looking forward that total runtime could be reduced by 30% without losing anything of importance, and 50% while losing very little of importance. You obviously rack up a lot of footage in a day's shoot- don't get too attached to any of it! Always ask the question: does this advance the story? Or in your case, does it increase the audience's understanding? If not, no one on this end will notice it's gone. We all very very much like the explanations and that you continue to use titles to tell those interested exactly what tools you use. Cheers! :)
I really like the way you always explain the reason why you do things in a certain way. As a retired engineer I can see the logic in the way you do things, but to others these explanations must make your videos so much more understandable. Well done Curtis.
Excellent videography as usual by giggly Karen. Love watching the engineering skill. Respect !
thanks mate for sharing your comment and taking time to watch the video we both appreciate it!
Bloody brilliant vid mate! Just enough explanation so us back yarders can appreciate what you do.
Glad I at least guessed that you'd relocate the grease port. .
😅
I'd love to just spend a day in the shop with Curtis. I'd leave way smarter in the ways of fixing stuff
Karen's filming is top notch. 👌 That's a heavy duty repair that'll make that customer's week. Looks to be a good bit of extra wall as well as relocated oil port, he'll get his money's worth out of that one and then some. Thanks for de-burring my stressful week with your benchmark machining. 👍
Hey mate thanks for watching and the great comment, glad you enjoyed it
Karen's camera work for the milling was really great - she just keeps getting better.
Take care.
Thank you very much!
Really impressed with your welding skills, finished product looks like nothing ever happened. Great job.
A true Artist Awesome work
Best way to end a Thursday night and start my Friday. A lot of work setting everything up to a knats ass to get it right. I always look forward to how you get the work pieces ready.
Have a great weekend Kurtis, Karen, and Homey too!

Hey Jack, glad you enjoy seeing that process, set up always takes a good bit of effort
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering The meticulous way you set up these huge workpieces is always a wonder. Speaks of your experience. The row of cut-off eyes was particularly intense! How many hours of work is laying there rusting?
@@mdouglaswray I saw that row of cut of eyes and thought that is quite a trophy case there of what kind of talent Curtis has!
Kurtis I love your mind set always thinking ahead so as to try and eliminate further problems , we call that thinking on your feet, trait of a true ENGINEER :)
cheers mate!
I have zero interest in this area, but watching a man who has so much experience and knowledge of equipment and how it breaks, good knowledge of materials and which ones to use and when, the knowledge of the tools and how to best use each one to effect a repair is stunning. He makes it look like something you believe you could do at home!
THANK YOU --- IMAGINE KIDS WATCHING THIS IN 50 YEARS AND THINKING HOW AWESOME YOU ARE BRO!! DOWN UNDER!!!
At first I though 'wait, didn't you do one of these recently?' but then you showed us the cracking at the base of the eye. That's new...
Love to see different types of fault being repaired.
Impressive how you always find the perfect COG of each item every time you hoist something. Either that, or great editing! ;-) Seriously, great to see your expertise and your workflow
Karen makes him look like a god. She's so good at it. That and Kurtis is a very very patient man. Its mind boggling to think of how much coordination they must do to produce these.
most of the time it's spot on, just done it enough to know where on the parts to lift from, I've done my dogman/riggers course as well so that helps. We will have to do a live video one day of lifting stuff 😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Would love to see it
People who are doing the same work as my company
I was impressed that you are all over the world.
The job required accuracy, durability and low cost.
It's very hard work.
There are many injuries and accidents, and there is a great risk, but at the same time
It is a very rewarding job with a sense of mission that is needed.
I will not stop congratulating you on your future development.
By the way, I am Japanese.
Well I'm not the customer and I'm very happy with the outcome of this job and sure they will be too. So Curtis or Kurtis, I imagine you save a ton of money in advertising as you really do not need to do it commercialy, as your videos goes a long way as word of mouth as it were, to prove the high quality of your repairs and the ingenuity & integrity you put into every task, I'm sure your customer base loves to review your work on their parts and have no doubts in anyway shape or form, truly gratifying all around, Excellent, Excellent Outcome, it is very rare for a perfect storm of events to come together in any one persons life to yield such awesome and prosperous results, Congratulations all around, It truly fills my heart with joy for you both to see your dreams come to fruition.

Favorite CZcams channel hands down and of course IC weld not too far behind. These channels help so much to improve the work some of us do on the daily. Knowledge is power
I love how you give explanations for important decisions you make. Like using the lathe because of the flame cut surface.
Amazing job. God bless your job!
I just want to compliment you for the amazing footage of the welding arc at 24:00. I don't think I've ever seen it that clearly, it's beautiful.
Love that high speed shot of the bandsaw, if only that was real life :)
My thought exactly. 🙂
Being in the UK, a morning notification of a new upload is a great way to start the day 🤩
Morning! Thanks for watching mate
Incredible job! Absolutely top shelf professional! Awesome content!
You Aussie's crack me up, love your sense of humour. You're funny when you're not trying to be. Cheers from the UK
Красава! Уважуха людям умеющих держать в руках инструмент.

Love your work CEE. Karen’s filming and editing, coupled with Homey’s supervision and completed with Kurtis’s skills only to be topped off with his masterful use of understatement…..”Glad someone pointed this out to me”…..bloody gold🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have an awesome weekend 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
thanks mate glad you enjoying the video!
A very admirable quality of work in all aspects. I don't weld but I know what needs to be done and this is impressive.
First of all: I'm always amazed by your skills and your detailed approach. 👍
This time, too, the ultimate goal is to get rid of the customer's problem. I think most metal workshops would have said at the sight of the cracks: not possible, no chance, buy a new one.
I always calculate what such a repair in your metal workshop could cost the customer and I hope that not only the customer is satisfied, but that you as a businessman are also satisfied. From the many "eyes" lined up in your metal workshop, I suspect that you as an engineer are proud of the results...every "eye" has a story.
Как это здорово! Результат великолепен. У меня нет слов!
Какое ж это счастье когда работа нравится и приносит радость)
Успехов в труде!
Thank you for sharing a helpful /professional way to fix and repair steel ! I’m a sheet metal worker learning to weld /machine steel!
Fascinating. I know nothing about this, but I just love seeing experts in whatever field, doing what they do. Many thanks for an interesting video.
Have to admit you are one of the best all rounders I have seen, top notch welding and an experienced machinist, most would have taken one look at the cracks in that job and scrapped it. In the end the fix is better than the original because you put the oil port where it should be 👍😎
No one would have scrapped it lol do you know how much those hydraulic cylinders cost new.
It's amazing, how quickly you two can make 45 minutes fly by. It's like watching an episode of Emergency!
Well man, you are like a god in the shop.
Sir, god bless you, there’s a lot of people out there who get asked to fix things with a welder and they do not even know how to do it correctly. You clean and prep well. Im a young guy and I aspire to be like you.
