    Definitely yes please to part 2 !! So lovely to see you and your Dad working together. I'm 70 now and have always appreciated the great relationship I have with my son so no doubt your Dad will be very happy to have the same. Precious. Love all of your videos and look forward to Sunday mornings with a cuppa and watching whatever you've been up to. Give you a thumbs up before I've even watched it. Nothing you post up is boring - always interesting. You're a very talented young man with a variety of skillsets. Always admire your thinking and initiative in how you overcome some really awkward problems and your ethos in not taking shortcuts when it matters and getting things done right even if it takes you longer to do. It's been, and still is, enjoyable watching your journey. You can and should be very proud of what you've done and what you do. The agricultural folks are lucky to have you around. Thanks for taking the time to post up your videos for us all to watch. Much appreciated. Just wondering if you put in some grease points for the new pins and bushes that you've assembled ? Didn't see a way to grease into them but I might have missed that. Cheers for now 👍

      "So lovely to see you and your Dad working together" Oh yes!! I got the same feeling as you I (71😋) think. I'm glad that you wrote your comment because I agree with every single word you wrote (especially because English is not my mother tongue and thus I couldn't have said it better 😃). Every time I watch Oliver's videos and see him working, I must think of a "good" wife for him, that's what I cordially wish to him.

I was working in the IT world, but cars, trucks, big V8 engines, dozers and drag lines were "my hobby" and my dad also enjoyed it. Mis him already 30 years🙄

    Good one, Oliver. It's always harder retrofitting rather than building from new, but it's almost always cheaper. Usually a lot cheaper. Part two? "Thank you sir, may I have another?". hahaha. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the job. Thanks, Oliver. Cheers.

    @ianmckay1780 6 місяців тому +2

    Definitely would like to see the project to completion. Now we know where you got your talent from. To see you and your dad working together, reminds me of the times my dad and I worked together. I lost my dad before you were a twinkle in your dad's eye. ('76). I'm 68/9 now, and there are times I'd like to ask my dad questions... Make the most of the time you've got left, it's worth it. Ask as many questions now as you can think of, when ever! Thanks Oliver, glad to see you and I had the same thoughts, at the same times. Nice to see I've still got the instincts, even after 40 yrs out of trade.

    Great work, and keep on learning, and via your postings vicariously helping others learn too!

    @jamespayne8781 6 місяців тому

    Really good looking job. Investing in the machines and tools and apparently an education are paying off for you and your family. A lot of young people today can’t see that. An old welder once told me that you start a new duty cycle every time you strike an arc. I have noticed I can do stop and go welding all day on a short duty cycle machine without problems overheating.

Seems the older apprentice knows how to graft , I'd hang on to him .. a great video and not surprising a few hiccups but overcame in normal Oliver fashion . A good first impression on the little jasic welder possibly worth an in depth review on another job to show possible potential for lighter little jobs . Thanks for having us along

    55:15 I think that cradling aspect made it much stronger rather than the twins hovering over the 2 beams as was the case. With this new bespoke change and welded into place it looks way more rigid. Now lets hope that your wheels will not rub up against the frame. Superb JOB as always! HELLO from the State of Texas!

  • @stewartcluley9524
    @stewartcluley9524 6 місяців тому

    Part 2 please Olly. 👍👍 I’ve spent years doing these tandem axle (or walking axles). So glad they are kinda a thing of the past now with most trailer manufacturers using sprung commercial axles. If it was me I would have cut the welds off the boss that didn’t line up, and then slide the half pin through and weld back on. I’ve done this job but upside down on a trailer chassis which has worn out hangers and bosses. I welded on new bosses onto the axles and then welded the new hangers onto the trailer chassis. Joys. Great video. Keen to see the drawbar mod. Keep up the great work and always love the videos. Something to look forward to at the weekend. 👍👍
