Someone made a proper job of this, eh? Nothing worse than fixing other people’s mistakes but I know that YOU are the man for this! Mark from Scotland 👍
Great work, It’s good to see a trades man start and finish a job better then it was when it was manufactured, Two many people today start a repair who haven’t the skills or equipment to make it stronger and even more reliable then previous.
Its the small things that show how good you are Oliver (weld prep etc) . Keep it up young man . I only follow two engineering channels you and CEE (Kurtis) both excellent at what you do ,
Ollie, you get the "best" jobs. If we viewers try real hard, we can get you more of these "outstanding" jobs - no need to thank us. You are a good operator. Many people would have run a mile from these jobs. The problem is you fixing stuff that others won't/can't means this sort of stuff will come beckoning at your door. Retired mechanic/machinist in Land Down Under.
It is so satisfying to take a wrecked item and make it brand new again. It is even more satisfying to sit in my recliner and watch someone else do it! Great video!
Honestly enjoy your repair/ fabrication videos, can’t wait for the next one! Really looking forward to part 2 of the log splitter video. I’m glad I stumbled across your channel 😊
Добрый день! Я из России и тоже занимаюсь восстановительным ремонтом отверстий, смотрю периодически ваши видео и честно говоря многому у вас можно поучиться, вы молодцы, продолжайте снимать, успехов вам, уважуха😊👍
Another great video from you young man ! It is nice to see a young craftsman thinking on his feet on ways to solve problems out . Keep the videos coming and thanks for sharing.
I love watching your work. As an amateur welder and former North Yorkshire (Pickering) resident I find a great deal of empathy with what you do. Every success to you.
I wondered why you used a cutoff wheel to cut the plates. It would seem o-a would have been faster and use grinder to "smooth" is needed. Golly whiz-bang, a human welder got out of the groove. Super catch on the crack around the boss and gouging the root to complete the penetration. Great shot of the tool breaking thru the first bore and you were right the tool handled the "cut" quite well. A meticulous job on the build up in the four bores, tough position. I didn't understand what you were doing with the "clamp-on" dial indicator. Well done Laddie!!!! from Ye Ole Caterpillar Cowboy
I watch all these channels like yours to get an idea of the tools I need, what size and capabilities (limits) of what I can afford and my repairing skills (again my limitations) As a retired hairstylist of 44 years and now a small ranch owner, I characterize myself as Mr Douglas of Green Acres TV show fame. Thank God all my relatives are contractors and men who do work with their hands! I don't wear a three piece suit when feeding the animals either. Overalls are my new work suit. 😂
Gday, that headstock turned up a mess but left like a new one, might have to get a 30mm bar for the line borer, definitely a challenge mate but bloody top job, cheers
Amazing job figuring out how to fix that. You're very creative designing your repairs. It looks like its time to add a welding attachment to the line borer. How to do that i haven't a clue but you do I'm sure.
Your ingenuity and tenacity is inspiring in all your videos! Just one note: gloves and drill presses don't make good companions. Your glove can be quickly pulled in and you'll be in a world of pain.
line boring....I had to laugh... can be a pain in the ass...but your really good at the impossible.... it is your curse and blessing ... your generation has a saying ....it is ...what it is....
The boring bar chatter, I have a feeling someone wrapped some lead sheet about four inches wide around his boring bar to stop chatter. He had a cylinder block mounted on the carriage of an engine lathe, a boring bar in the chuck and a centre so the crankshaft bearing positions could be machined, so a bit of length to the boring bar. The lead was secured by a jubilee clip. Just an idea. Thanks for bringing us along.
Awesome fix! Love the usual high Snowball Engineering standard of the repair, better than new. That's some weird video artefact at 24:40 - it looks like the freshly ground part of the mount is 'floating' when you attach the clamps!
You certainly get some interesting and often tricky jobs in for repair. You always work out how to do the repairs and overcome any hurdles that come your way.
Those ground and polished inserts have the last 2 letters GT. Like SCGT. They are for ali but work well on steel/stainless. Cheers matey videos are great.
Nice repair. Remember you will always need the extra bearing now that you have drilled out the whole shaft for the bigger tools - it will be more "whippy" than before.
Another bodge job to fix 😅 always interesting and those cows sound like a herd of elephants 🐘 😝I was wondering if you could line bar all the holes at once 😮
Cracking job. Time you made the welding attachment for the line borer would make life a little easier. Must have a big matbro area round you with those cone and pin headstocks we keep seeing
Hi Ollie,it is an absolute joy to watch you at work you have everything worked out to the tee best wishes for the future with your company cheers Declan from Galway Ireland 👍👍🙏🙏
You are interesting to provide information on the repair of parts. You probably work in a repair company for the repair of agricultural machinery. Good luck in your work and I'm waiting for new videos.
Nice repair Oliver. Yes, small holes are not funny to linebore and the hardest to build up with weld. But with using a smaller boringbar and a appropriate microspand/'snap-gauge' you get some work space back...and job😊 satisfaction!
Well Ollie you might not like line boring so much now but you'll be getting yourself a reputation as THE expert to go to for line boring so you better start getting set up for lots more jobs like this in the future, as for big jobs can't see many farmers having bigger bits of kit than what you've been getting in so far, you need a Mig torch that can get into awkward spaces
Ollie, I hope you charge plenty for what you do. I'm pretty sure your customers haven't a clue exactly how much skill, effort and hard work is involved oin the product you produce. Well done.!!!!!!
I'm fairly sure most of his customers understand. He's basically doing the job of the engineer and the repair worker at the same time. That's pretty extraordinary.
glad i found your channel i enjoyed it a lot. good work on this repair. i have watched a couple of your jobs and think your have a great work attitude.
Nice work I followed the link from watch Wes Work when I saw you writing on the pad from Acaster steel I realised you were just up the road from where I live 😂👍
Great Job. You can say no to small line boring or just charge more until the customer says no. If he says ok it won’t be such a bad job. 🤠 CEE seems to charge half the cost of a new one (about) 🤠 Well done!
You should investigate using spiral flute machine taps for your threaded holes. That way you can actually run them in with the drill press or a milling machine without having to turn the truck by hand.
@28:11 you mention the root pass not being up to your usual spec, might it have been much easier to grind it out than gouge the back out later, easier to get at, neater & faster with better accuracy? I wonder if you've considered getting a young apprentice you have such a gentle manner even I could have learned a lot from you when I was a young lad (73 now so a bit late :) :) ) after watching the rest I see the die grinder had an outing, good choice.
Oliver, in OnShape after drawing an object line, circle or rectangle you can enter the dimensions straight away (no need to select the dimension tool).
Yap nothing is easy, but another job well done I wish I could weld as good as you, I am practising and slowly getting better every time but still a long way to go.
23:42 love those two Jasic machines behind on shelf 😊 Are they in working state ? ( presume that one right is AC/DC TIG and left is probably ARC FORCE Stick 200A )
Hi, you're very good. I love your skills and your phlegm. no frills, always to the essentials. Please keep on as you are. PS : where can I find your super clamps. Found only one online store in France and they are really smaller than yours
I see that you have viewers in Australia , New Zealand and many other countries. Just for fun do you have any idea how many countries you have subscribers in. Wet Sunday morning in Northern Ireland watching the latest video. Please keep them coming.
I keep wondering about how the owner thought that repair was going to last ? I know those tele handlers get used and abused but that headstock was really trashed ! It’s better than new now , nice work hope you got paid well for saving the owners from buying a new replacement.
Looked a relatively simple job. But what a load of work to complete it. These things should be designed with easily replacable bushings. So as they wear you can swap out bushings and pins. In theory. Your customers seem to flog everything to within an inch of its life. If not broke, keep going.
28:09 To avoid that lack of penetration on the root pass, and then having to gauge from the side opposite to the bevel (the less accessible side), my procedure does on the opposite order: Start sealing the gap with a small bead from the less accessible side (the side without bevel). Then, clean the root with a thin grinder disc from the bevel side, and complete the weld as usual. This way, you only have to deal with the less accessible side once, the root is clean on the inside, and sealed on both sides... and you don't have to try to take the grinder later, to fix something where the grinder doesn't fit. Regards.
excellent video! .... its sunday morning and im watching someone do what i do !! i must be mentally ill.
...it's a cruel world...
I'm sure someone somewhere would say its therapy....
Ye join us happy few 😂
No you're not. 😁🤔
I love work too! 😅 I could watch it all day.....😅

Another awkward job done well !
Allistairc123 does this too. So good to see.
Its the small things that show how good you are Oliver (weld prep etc) . Keep it up young man .
I only follow two engineering channels you and CEE (Kurtis) both excellent at what you do ,
Thanks for saying exactly what I was going too!
Enjoy your videos. Your solutions are straight forward and common sense. Keep on doing what you're doing.
Onfire welding is also really good.
yeah kurtis is superb but ollie is getting it done just on a smaller scale ...great to watch!
Ollie, you get the "best" jobs. If we viewers try real hard, we can get you more of these "outstanding" jobs - no need to thank us.

Charge accordingly.
I hope you charge plenty for all the thought and effort put into this repair, Great video,
I admire your skills with the cad work as I missed out on that starting in 1977, good repair yet again.
Another well done repair, Ollie. Thanks for taking us along. Keep up the good work!
It is so satisfying to take a wrecked item and make it brand new again. It is even more satisfying to sit in my recliner and watch someone else do it! Great video!
Wonderful to watch a meticulous craftsman who is both a boffin and who wisely wears PPE. Well done lad !
It's a comfortable thought that there are still people who care about their customers. Thank you for this.
You’re giving your homemade line borer some pasty. It’s a good job you made it.
Great video, excellent content and camera work. Thanks for taking the time

The clamp on dial gauge is to measure how far out I move the tool for the next cut.

Thanks again!
glad i found your channel i enjoyed it a lot. good work on this repair. i have watched a couple of your jobs and think your have a great work attitude.
Thanks 👍
Top job. without being greasable those pins are a constant wear item
You are pretty brave using that 8" angle grinder. Someone gave me an 8" grinder, but I've never been game to use it.
I’ve never had any bother with the 9” grinder, as long as you’re careful and don’t do anything daft.
It’s a shame they Stopped making the 7” grinder ( had one in the 80’s) these were much lighter but still bad good cutting power
Great work very good to see how you get over problems 👍
Nice work I followed the link from watch Wes Work when I saw you writing on the pad from Acaster steel I realised you were just up the road from where I live 😂👍

The plate takes the shear load off the bolts, so when the pin flexes it won't drive the wedge to cut into the bolts.
