    Man, this takes me back. I've been off the tools for about 17 years now but as a dual-trade boilermaker/fitter-machinist used to work for a mob in Darwin specialised in welding, fabrication, line-boring, crusher rebuilds and mill re-lines. Much of the work was in remote mining locations. There's something utterly satisfying in watching that bore-welder doing its thing. I used a Speedglas helmet, too. Now it's gathering dust in the shed. I still work for the mining sector but in a middle management role in maintenance for Olympic Dam. Your use of a grinder without gloves or a guard has been noticed and we will be speaking to you about safety practice on Monday, lol. Nice job, by the way.

    I watch your videos with great interest as my first job out of welding school (1999) was working in a shop that did similar work as you do. I was one welder in a shop with 10 machinists so I stayed busy. I was the one who welded up bores instead of having a cool WS2 machine though! I tacked whatever part needed the bore welded to a bar that was inserted into a machine that would turn the whole part at whatever speed was needed and held the MIG gun and went for it. Fun times!

      @@crazyedo9979 As long as the customer knows it's a quick fix or you don't have the right tools or experience for the job, then I'm all for doing it that way, maybe they did know and just knew to check it more often and that's why they found it before it became bad.

There are situatios that you are the only skilled guy around even when you are a beginner or an apprentice ( happend to me long time ago). And they are happy that you are helping them. Or customer said " Yaah we will keep this machine only two or three weeks. New one is already on the trailer and we don't want to spend on this one" . After this they overload the machine for two years and then start to rant about you when it fails. That's what I ment.

    I just had to line bore the quick attach on my 160 Volvo. I don’t have a line boring machine so I made one out of my magnetic drill. My quick attach started to wear at the open end that attaches to the bucket pin so I had a half round hole to bore. Not the ideal setup but I got the job done. Great work that you do.

    Love your videos! Very fascinating! I spent 15 yrs designing work tools at Caterpillar. Those inside bosses do see loads and we had to design accordingly. The strongest joint is one with no boss driving the force directly into the "mother" material. If a boss was used, we had to make sure it was designed to take the load because it is the first area the load see's. Add more weld if problems, bigger boss diameter, bevel welds over big fillet welds. Love your show!

    Someone hinted to this question, but I did not see a response. Do you check to see if your boring bars are parallel? It seem if a bore is worn off side, or someone else line bored out of parallel, now your work could be affected. I asked because I've seen it done. I had a "H" link line bored, and with the new pins in, there was a twist in them. Love the skill you put into your work, and the welding is amazing. You really have a proven procedure for each weld project.
