Cutting Edge Engineering Australia. Curtis this video ( part 1&2 ) has to be the best I've ever seen, absolutely awesome the before and after comparison. There's an old saying "You can't make a silk purse from a sows ear." However I beg to differ, you proved that wrong because you did just that. When I saw the beginning of part one, I thought you would cut the old eye off and weld a new one in. 👍👍👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@Baronstone Snap-On are the best tool money can buy, if you break one even by abuse they will change it without question. If you are a professional mechanic your whole career is spent on using tools they will last a lifetime. Some Chinese manufactured tools are OK for use by the average D.I.Y. home mechanic but the more inferior quality, sockets will split under pressure.
Hey mate thank you very much for the super thanks contribution support, glad you love the channel and we hope you keep enjoying the videos! Cheers, Kurtis & Karen
From a 6G platter welder 40+ years in, you're top on top of your game fella. Love the modern line borer ours needs three shovels of coal and water circa 1945.
You're not a tradesman Kurtis, you're an artist. That is exceptional work especially when you consider the time constraints placed on you and the poor information you received from the customer. I hope they paid what was right for that job, not what they think is right. Well done 👍
@@gabrielecossettini2923 I am willing to bet that job was at least three times the price of simply buying a replacement eye and welding it in place. But being that it was a Saturday, you would have to wait until Monday just to order one, and then get it welded on later in the week. For a lot of big companies, getting the operation going fast, is well worth the cost of paying through the nose.
There's always armchair critics.. im enjoying your channel for exactly what it is.. interesting topics, great skill and well put together videos that 99.9% of people wouldnt normally see... now time to crack that beer and enjoy🍺🍺
Hear, hear. These videos are well filmed and edited, and that is not an easy thing to do. These are good story-tellers; both the person in front of and the one behind the lens!
Great video!! Only wished I could have seen how you drilled and tapped the retainer plate bolt holes with it in that orientation. I always find your videos fascinating. Also, hats off to the editor! Great job on the chapters and titles. Keep up the good work!
I like how we're all able to watch and appreciate this type of work! Otherwise unless you were doing this for a living you'd have no clue about this sort of thing. Thanks for sharing bud!
Machinist as engineer, mathematician, magician, scientist, manufacturer... and, at the last moment, chemist. As well as, for our delectation, a performer, educator and narrator... along with his partner as videographer and their woofer for comic relief. Sheesh.... This episode sets the benchmark for wow factor.
I happened to click on this and didn’t see the first video or any other videos from this channel. I was sitting here watching the video and asking myself “Why not just machine a new part? Why is he welding 100m of wire then using a line boring machine?” Then I realized the actual part is huge and the line boring machine is welded to the part. I’ve never seen a setup like that or a repair done that way, it was awesome! You got a new subscriber.
Customer explanation of repair work, "It's a bit loose, or its exploded" bare no relation to its state of disrepair. Hell of a lot of work to be done in 12 hours, after receiving the part several hours late. I've heard the expression "Munted" before, but many years ago. Another Aussie expression I heard from a UA-cam channel called "Matty's Workshop", was fits like like a "Bum in a Bucket", brilliant. Query on the line boring facing insert "EGMT", 75° rhomboid, never seen one of those before? Interesting in how the Mig/Mag torch can rotate, yet allow the wire to feed through. Great work, and great photography both. Thanks for sharing. Best regards John from the Black Country, UK.
Hey John thanks for watching again! Matty is an awesome Aussie great to see he's got your view! The insert we use is an ECGT very good for this lineboring work. Cheers, Kurtis
Really appreciate you answering questions that folks have. In fact you usually answer questions I have when I see something and think, "why did he do it that way"? Just be patient and I bet you get to it.
A 35hr door-to-door turnaround on a totally fucking munted part like that is genuinely magnificent. I imagine 20+ of those hours were solid work, this isn't a job you can leave alone even for a minute either. As someone in not-too-distant line of work I really do salute you, Kurtis.
Kurtis, some people just don't deserve your astonishing expertise. I hope they appreciated what you did. Mind you the incompetence and misadventure of others is keeping you in business.
Gotta love the line boring and welding machine. Brilliantly simple, massively effective and efficient. Plus great looking end product. Thank you Kurtis.
Karen, somehow you anticipate exactly where I want you to position the camera and how to adjust the lighting! The audio of the motors, grinding, metal to metal contact is like music to my ears. I have fallen asleep many times listening to the CEE concertos. Thanks for something special from the Land Down Under. Phil
I'm going through your back catalog looking for videos I haven't already watched to get my Friday CEE fix while you take the week off. This was definitely one of the most muntered pieces I've seen you work on, and the transformation is nothing short of remarkable.
We had a sign in our shop that said "Failure to plan on your part, does not make an emergency on our part" Seeing as this was attributable to failed or poor maintenance I hope you charged for the rush.
And for the surprise that the thing needed to be completely re-oriented. Would it have been cheaper to rebuild the eye from scratch on the lathe? But then, you would have needed a substantial piece of steel of the right composition on stock.
We had one in our service office above the doorway where the customer normally stood. “I’m trying to see your point of view but I cannot get my head that far up my ass.”
That was a really great job and proves that sometimes you can make a silk purse from a sows ear. Your next repair job will be to rebuild Homey's green playball!!! Good on you Kurtis and Karen for her great video and audio.
You do your work exceptionally well!!!! It’s so cool the way you do a circular weld on the inside of the eye! You did all of the welding, grinding, and machining perfectly!!! I’m glad you put a fresh coat of paint on the part to finish! The before and after is amazing!
Of all your projects i've watched This is the best restoration of extreme damages i have ever seen. Truly metalsmithing that world class,1st place...Thankyou for sharing this talent with the workers of the worlds industries. Trey S. Bflo,Ny USA. Retired Industrial Mechanic/ Millwright Field Services to trouble shoot, install, repairs for 18 factory locations in 10 states.
Curtis masterful repair using your portable boring/welding machine. Your skillset is off the charts. Your shop made boring tool holder is a work of art and a serious necessity in your trade.. I'm a retired millwright that repaired high pressure steam turbines for over 30 years and I'm blown away by the portable CNC boring & welding especially the duty cycle of your mig welder. Spray welding is almost obsolete with new advancements. Technology especially in the CNC world have made previous impossible repairs a thing of the past. Your outakes are hilarious.
Kurtis, Karen & Homeless, every time I see 'BOC' (British Oxygen Co.) in your postings I 'SMILE,' as a US Truck Driver of '22' years hauling 'millions' of pounds of Liquid Carbon Dioxide (Ice Water) 41K lbs. each load 'all over' North America throughout its many industries that use it every day i.e. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Shasta, Coors, Budweiser, Old Field 'Frac' Jobs, Welding, etc, oh the memories it brings back, y'all Be & Stay Well across the ponds. : )
Wouw, great work. I think you are the man to come to on Friday with a fender and on Monday you pick up the bulldozer. It is a great pleasure to see your work. Please tell the camerawoman that her work is also very much appreciated and liked. Stay tuned and healthy.
Hope the customer appreciates the miracle you performed to get that done between Saturday evening & Monday morning... Impressive repair on a short time line...
East coast Can and I couldn't stay awake, BUT now having a breaky with the show. Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, deep brown beans, toast, maple syrup and coffee. Good ol' Canadian breakfast while watching Kurtis fix the MUNTED a-frame. :)
From the United State,You are the best reference that the jobs can do very well ,I am a line borer and welder with more than 30 years of the experience,and always see your videos and talk with my friends about that you are same to me working,and I have the sirmeccanica WS2 older model,but the same ability,congratulation for your way to show to all the people the very well job done
Man, I had no idea welding could be used to literally replace structural material like that. I always just thought it was basically, pardon the over simplification, metal glue.... thats so cool.
I was always taught to think of it like a bone mending, once welded it will never break in that same place (unless it is done poorly, or is where a weld should never be).
There's something very satisfying about watching an awesome machinist at work. Damn, actually doing the work must feel a million times better. I can't really comment professionally as I have no idea about these things, but it looks great. Thank you for sharing.
When I have a watch I need worked on your my man. Seriously I built a Nuclear submarine in the 80s and worked with plenty of machinest of high caliber and you would fit in nicely with those guys. No matter what the trade, perfection and professionalism is well worth a thumbs up Great job. RC
If they are wise they will look after him, if not what do you think will happen if they have another rush job for him? Having said that, there are some real idiots out there that think they can get away with anything and everything, not realizing that in reality they can't. I've been in business and had dealings with idiots, we made them pay.
I do have to hand it to you the quality of the work is excellent. this is what I enjoy about your Channel, you guys take screwed up stuff and make it look like it's brand new
I thought I’d seen all the experts like abom79 etc but they would have just cut that bad boy off and told the customer to wait until they got a new one not resurrect the undead as you so skilfully did. Bravo and fascinating to watch. Love the outtakes too.
Hello, love the videos. Btw, thanks for always showing us where the equipment you’re working on comes from, which machine, a placement. It’s a really nice touch
Thank you Kurtis, an exceptional young man doing jobs with such a thorough approach and work ethic, how can anyone question the way you do these jobs and wouldn’t it be nice if they cleaned it before dropping it off. Great videos with a very patient camera operator who seems to know how to get the best out of you, keep it up just outstanding .
Yeah I often wonder what these repairs cost myself?? Lots of skill and labor involved and sometimes materials and welding consumables etc.... I'd bet this repair was at least 2-3k ? but yeah dunno lol
FAWKIN" MUNTED!!! I will buy more than 1 and it keeps my teenage kids out of trouble (USA) if you spell it this way, you know the freedom of speech and all of that comes with it! - Pure Marketing Genius! IT has to have a picture that is associated with boring, anything that is bored or COVID or Gubment(sp) or relationships. Need a story to go along with the message.
Curious how long that took you to do and what the cost was. Watching this kind of stuff is amazing to me. Being able to see an end product from that starting point is a hell of a talent.
That was the most mangled repair I have seen you do so far, and like you said, "If I would have known, I would have had a new eye ready" That was an exceptional repair!!!

As a former CAT tech the most expensive thing in that whole vid was the CAT yellow paint!!! Great job!

Like a Snap-On truck, have to turn your head when they show up or they charge you $50 just to look at it.

I'm sure they'd have to pay the price kurtis quoted, and no questions asked. Or, they don't get the item back, or no more work done in the future.
How many fabricators at this level of skill and capability can you call to fix this mess over a weekend? Cost concerns just left the building…👍
That looks like it was worth a lot of money, I hope the bill was priced accordingly. Well done.
There's always armchair critics.. im enjoying your channel for exactly what it is.. interesting topics, great skill and well put together videos that 99.9% of people wouldnt normally see... now time to crack that beer and enjoy🍺🍺
Hey Grant thanks mate appreciate the comment 🍻😎👍
Hear, hear. These videos are well filmed and edited, and that is not an easy thing to do. These are good story-tellers; both the person in front of and the one behind the lens!
My 4 year old son was really keen to watch this with me this morning. Lots of questions!
Little legend! Hope you're keeping warm over there Thanks for watching mate 😎👍
Well done. Most people don't understand the difficulty and lack of parts avalable for these rush jobs. Well done all around.
Cheers mate Thanks for watching 😎👍
Rush jobs because of breakage is one thing. Because of non maintenance is another.
Great video!! Only wished I could have seen how you drilled and tapped the retainer plate bolt holes with it in that orientation. I always find your videos fascinating. Also, hats off to the editor! Great job on the chapters and titles. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely outstanding young man ,the world needs more craftsman/artists such as you Kurtis, fantastic job.

Enjoy it mate have a good weekend 😎👍
East coast Can and I couldn't stay awake, BUT now having a breaky with the show. Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, deep brown beans, toast, maple syrup and coffee. Good ol' Canadian breakfast while watching Kurtis fix the MUNTED a-frame. :)

“Hey Honey! What do you want to do this weekend? Watch a welder and mill spin in a circle?” Very nice work. You are a true craftsman.
That welding & line boring machine is super impressive. Amazing the way it cuts heavy metal with little mass in the machine...
So it's basically like a reverse lathe? The part is stationary and the tool is spinning. That's neat
In other words, it's basically like a mill ;)
Australia’s heavy machines are lucky to have you
Really enjoy the videos
From Tennessee USA
Man, I had no idea welding could be used to literally replace structural material like that. I always just thought it was basically, pardon the over simplification, metal glue.... thats so cool.
It can, but it isn't the same as a forging.
I was always taught to think of it like a bone mending, once welded it will never break in that same place (unless it is done poorly, or is where a weld should never be).
That line boring/welding machine is the coolest thing.
Yeah it goes well 😎👍

Hey RC thanks very much mate appreciate you commenting that. Cheers 😎👍
it is amazing to see a great professional at work, the piece was perfect again, this dog is already more famous than the owner
Wow the work you did when all they had to do was wait for the new one to be welded on. Great work Kurtis.
i bet you are _never_ short of business.
Those axle drawbars so take a beating~~~~~!!!!! Another WELL DONE Kurtis!
I hope they paid you with a weight in gold of the ring! Masterful!
With how corrupt they were with the information of its condition and delivered late, I highly doubt it unfortunately

Having said that, there are some real idiots out there that think they can get away with anything and everything, not realizing that in reality they can't.

Enjoy mate thanks for watching 😎👍
I had to come back to view this repair job a 2nd time. This is one of your best repairs you have posted. I truly enjoy watching you work!
Very early Friday viewing. Love the content, keep it up, hello from the United States!
Cheers mate thanks for being an early viewer of the vid!
I thought I’d seen all the experts like abom79 etc but they would have just cut that bad boy off and told the customer to wait until they got a new one not resurrect the undead as you so skilfully did. Bravo and fascinating to watch. Love the outtakes too.

Your videographer really does a wonderful job. Thank you.
She says THANK YOU!
This line bore welding is kinda like 3D printing before 3D printing was cool.
It would be good to see the customers responses and the repairs being installed. It would get you out of the workshop.
Wow Kurtis you did well to sort that mess out, how many hours did it take? Your 4 legged shop manager is a crack up 😂😂
Hey mate yeah happy with the finished result. Was about 12 hours in it start to finish
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering oh nice, bugger it was during the weekend, hope you had a cold one to celebrate a job well done by all 🍻
Thank you

Great videos with a very patient camera operator who seems to know how to get the best out of you, keep it up just outstanding .

Yeah I often wonder what these repairs cost myself?? Lots of skill and labor involved and sometimes materials and welding consumables etc.... I'd bet this repair was at least 2-3k ? but yeah dunno lol
And another perfect job, Curtis.......and on such short notice as well, well done
That’s some amazing work!
Thanks for watching 😎👍
Curtis was a master metal sculptor on that one 👍
One of your best, I hope you gave your customer a good telling off for the condition of the eye that he gave you before it arrived.

Gonna need a "Fucking Munted" shirt now arent we?
An MP over the ditch here in NZ actually used that phrase a few years ago. So it’s even good enough for politicians. 😛

IT has to have a picture that is associated with boring, anything that is bored or COVID or Gubment(sp) or relationships. Need a story to go along with the message.
Better than new, great work! The Pup is very proud of his green toy!
Thanks for watching mate 😎👍
Curious how long that took you to do and what the cost was. Watching this kind of stuff is amazing to me. Being able to see an end product from that starting point is a hell of a talent.
Less than 12 hours, IIRC. Watch the first vid. He says how long he has to repair it.

Greetings from The Netherlands! This was absolutely amazing to watch. I also liked the video work and music selection.
Hey mate thanks for watching and the feedback. Cheers 😎👍
That was the most mangled repair I have seen you do so far, and like you said, "If I would have known, I would have had a new eye ready" That was an exceptional repair!!!
The dorg needs his own channel!
