FINISH Making New Boom Lift Cylinders | Franna Crane Project | Part 3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2023
- This is Part 3 of our Franna Crane project! We are working on finishing making the new boom lift cylinders and in this video we get all the parts machined and the cylinders assembled and painted. We show the step by step process of boring the rod eyes to size, machining the new bronze bushings and pins, machining the cast iron bearing, plus lots of hydraulic pressing before the cylinders get reassembled and painted! Stay tuned for the next video where we sort out the hydraulic oil and get the cylinders fitted back onto the crane.

Vote 4 even longer videos..... This crane serie has just right length.... (Can be longer)
@@peter-fuppe-fuchs thanks for your feedback! We know not everyone enjoys long length videos, and not everyone enjoys lots of parts so it's a bit tricky we want to make sure you are all enjoying the vids! 😅😅
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering start a second channel.... CEE long videos...... For videos almost not edited.... And this channel for the usual well edited vids..... I going true very rough times right now, and watching videos like yours makes me calm and relaxt... Thnx ❤❤❤
@@peter-fuppe-fuchs hey mate that's what our Patreon is about, our members get the extended uncut edition of the videos 😄
Happy for longer ones
Oh Karen aren't we getting fancy with camera angles. Being around Frannas in my previous life I so look forward to every aspect of Kurtis talents bringing new life to this Franna. 10 out of 10 each week
Hey Peter glad you're enjoy this project & series! I've gotten a bit quicker with editing so challenging myself with dual camera recording & multiple angles, thanks for noticing 🥰
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering You're doing top work! From video 1 to today, there's a huge growth in how you handle the whole thing and clearly you've become much more efficient at working the software side because (as you said) you're not challenging yourself with more things observed. Awesome work.
It's really amazing talent you've developed, there is such a richness to the shots you give us. Many thanks 🤗
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering how do you do normal speed sound and time lapse video without it all getting ballsed up?
@@samwest9444 In the editing software you just separate the audio from the video. It’s very easy to do. (Video editor here).
My Stepfather (a great man) was a machinist for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and was trained by his father that had his own machine shop for 50+ years. He loves your videos as I do. He was honestly surprised and impressed when he found out by your video of how you started in your field. He could have swore that you were trained like him by starting out working in a shop as a young teenager.
He worked on really huge parts of Navy ships and I was fortunate to see him and others working on drive shafts and basically dozens of other ship parts that weighed several tons per part. When I cames to nuclear ships the tolerance is ridiculously tight. Like if specs say that a bolt takes 18 & 3/4 turns to come loose and it goes anymore or less the work stops and the reason needs to get a variance clearing to go on. To see such precision was fascinating to me, that it could be accomplished on such a huge scale.
Bravo to you Curtis
thanks mate glad you can relate with those memories!
Seattle peeps chiming in! Awesome!!! 😊
Hey neighbor, my backyard IS psns imf
@@wickittiewhaat2495 I'm in little old Shelton.
I like how Kurtis puts the cylinder rods back into the protective sleeves before putting them on the wooden pallet. This is NASA levels of not taking any chances.
Being a machinist for over 30 years I am always pleased to see someone pulling out all the stops to do the job correctly and without shortcuts. This is Kurtis and Karen's mantra. Every video I have watched from CEE shows jobs being completed as if they were doing them for themselves.
Not a machinist, but a regular DIY Handyman for my house. I 100% agree that it's good to see people taking heart in their work, doing a thorough job vs. the half-ass way to just "get it out" the door/get it done.
Karen's got a real eye for that camera also!
The fact at seeing someone not cut corners and do the job RIGHT is awesome and refreshing.
I used to work in a power station (four 120 MW reheat units and four 60 MW single heat boilers. Small by todays standards but physically huge machines. The 60s were reliable it the 120 units struggled with burst boiler tubes. We could never get all four running at the same time. Someone suggested we were not getting an even steam flow at low loads (especially during startup that we did every day). The solution was a much bigger blowdown valve on the final superheater. We used more water on startup but the blown tube problem was solved.
The huge question is why were managers content to put up with the failures for so long?
The good enough (ie bodge it) mentality goes through the whole business.
No one can call you out for buying a lemon...your methods and quality of work and condition of your workshop you know exactly what you are doing.
I feel we could say he buys a lemon, but by the time he’s done doing all this amazing work on it, you just can’t call it a lemon anymore. Whether he buys a lemon or not, it’s going to have such quality repairs by the time he’s done with it, damn. Just too good. Watching him work makes me consider if I’d want to do a similar job lol
That's a good content strategy too. They can do tons of videos on the restauration process.
I agree Peter, the people making these comments from behind a screen in their mum’s bedroom haven’t a clue what is or isn’t a lemon.
Kurtis is a master in his field and if he thinks the repairs outweigh the benefits of a more expensive machine well then why not carry out the repairs that you’re capable off yourself and end up saving the business a fortune 👍🏼👌🏼
@@loicjeannin6233 they are not making a restaurant out of it, just a restoration.
Back in the late 80's when I was in my late teens, I worked at a factory that made hydraulic cylinders of many types. What I saw you doing in the last video was what I used to do among other tasks.... assembly. Some pistons used o-rings, other times it was polyseals. Those were a bitch to put on. By the end of the day, you were covered in a pink assembly grease and your palms were all torn up. Hopefully you were able to get those done so you didn't have to do it the next day. Those chrome rods and pistons were matted to aluminum cylinders. They were for car carrier semis. This video brought back good memories of the people I worked with, by the trying times of raw hands. Thanks for the great video
Absolutely love the sound editing. Splicing together all the machining sounds to fit the sped up parts, so good
In my opinion this was the best produced video to date. So many operations, a long story to tell and Karen allowed us to follow the story without a bunch of repetitive minutia. No disrespect to Kutis' work because it was superb as always but the way Karen enhances the telling of this story just makes both elements so enjoyable.
Homey reminded me of our kids when they were very small - get them what you believe is a great birthday or Christmas gift and they want to play with the box it came in! Thanks again for the outstanding content!
Absolutely agree 100%!! Just when I think Karen couldn't possibly improve over her last one, she blows us away! Great job Karen!
What kid doesn't? :)
Watching you work is like watching an artist create a masterpiece
WOW ! ! ! ! A Mythbusters promo and NOW a Military Helicopter Fly By. . AMAZING . . What's next ! ! ! A parade in your honor ! ! . . Ok, I'll relax and cool down. . so much excitement just got to me. . haven't even finished my 1st full cup of Java. . Have a WONDERFUL day.
Even though I have been a machinist/toolmaker/alcoholic for 38+ years, I always learn something from the presentations. Thank you.
Always a pleasure to watch the posts you three put up here!!! Karen, your videography is second to none, Kurtis, your abilities are awe-inspiring and so, so, detailed, and of course, Homey, you are "The Follower" - I have a Staffordshire who follows me EVERYWHERE and wants to know precisely what I'm up to. Ya'll never fail to put a huge smile on my face. A couple of years ago, I was telling my son (43) about your channel and he quipped, "Oh, you watch them too?", well, of course - entertaining, informative and downright funny. Keep 'em coming and ya'll have fun!!!
Great job, Kurtis and Karen. When you just purchased the Lift Crane, I knew the boom cylinders needed to be refurbished. (From experience). What really surprised me was the electrical wiring harness. Regarding the hydraulic system... You will need to replace the displacement pump, hoses and any filters inline. In addition the reservoir tank will probably need to be cleaned out thoroughly. And any micro screens throughout the hydraulic system need to be replaced. After all you do have two brand new hydraulic cylinders. You don't want to ruin them. And if you're going to document all the repairs and the very high quality job you're doing... It's really going to help if you resell. If you don't sell then it's going to last you a very long time. The way I used to do was do a thorough job rebuilding and keep it awhile then sell it later for the price maybe even auction it. So good luck on the electrical wiring and the hydraulic system refurbish
You two are getting better and better. Watching your videos is the highlight of my week. I agree with every aspect in all the comments. Apart from both your skills 100/100, I love the banter between you. Karen I love the little quips you add to this incredible trade school quality teaching aid. They come out on cue, as though scripted. Homey and his desire to destroy boxes , what a hoot. Looking forward to the next video in this rebuild. Thanks for taking your precious time to show us a part of your world. ❤
5:23 I half-shouted "got damn!" out loud when I saw the triple zeros, holy hell you precise wizard, Abom ain't got nothing on that, good lord
Such a pity this little series has finished, I've enjoyed it so much, thank you 👍👍👍
glad you enjoyed it!
We watched a different thing I think. Got the impression pending the samples being checked there might be some more vids yet (I hope not for Kurtis' sake mind)
It's finished😮
Well, there's a ton more work on the crane tho. Cabin and tidy up.
@@aserta Didnt Kurtis mention in the first video he was going to redo the cabin floor? Kinda curious how that is put together and would be at least 2 vids I am sure. He sure is lucky he created that open air space when he did under that canopy a while back.
Quality... I've been looking forward to part 3.
I'm sure that this will be a great video.
Keep up the great work Kurtis, Karen, and Homey 😎👍
we hope you enjoy it!
Its great to see bushings being drilled for grease provisions. I used to fit auto greaser systems for SKF and Groeneveld. More than a few times, ive been to customers with their systems not working. Testing everything, only to find the machine has had a recent bushing replacement, thats had no holes or grooves cut into them. Stunning how often that happens.
Your videos are the highlight of my week. Appreciate the time and effort you guys put in each week. I hope you continue to keep the videos wholesome and genuine and you don't become UA-cam shills like many do.
Quality work as ever. The machining and videography are both outstanding. 🏴
Thank you very much!
Painting is getting tidier! Those clip in pourer spouts are really good.
It's great to be able to make your own parts like that. Really makes me envious of all the cool skills and machines. Thanks for the great content.
And thanks to Karen for another fantastic job filming and editing. I swear it just keeps getting better and better. I hope you guys do well as you earned it.
My Friday, your Saturday my friend. Hey Kurtis Great to see you as always. Awesome you put in jobber parts in these. In the future be id a different owner or yourself won't have to get/make custom ones for replacements. It is always a pleasure to visit with you folks every post. I have always liked working with brass and bronze. The contrast between the brass and steel is a pleasure to the eyes for sure eh. Great builds my friend. Doing the refit yourself saved you hundreds if not thousands of hard worked for $. Right to the last drop of paint you have done everything right. Give yourself a pat on the back. You DESERVE IT BUD.
Thank you for the video. Karen, your video content is spot-on. Kurtis, you are a star ! Homey, is funny as hell. Thank you all for keeping a 70 year old man’s mornings for getting up for. Be well.
@32:36 I closed my eyes and turned my head away out of reflex 😂 That really says something about how good the quality of your footage is 🤩
Ha. Almost like you were right there. That's funny.
I’m really looking forward to watching this crane project come to fruition. With Kurtis’ attention to detail, it should be a great project when complete. Cheers from the states guys!
Compliments to the videographer !!! That mid-bore shot of the eyelet thru the grease hole was brilliant ... 🥛
I don't care how you make your videos i look forward to seeing them. Your decision to make your parts as standard as possible is great. Anytime you can cut down on one off factory parts is great. The kiss method will always be best. Stay safe y'all Kurtis and Karen give Homeless a treat for us viewers till next week.
Yeah big lesson on my first (crap) track car. Yeah custom stuff is cool but it's always worth doing whatever you can to use standard, off the shelf factory parts. Partly 'cause the army of highly paid engineers and their fancy tools at Toyota probably know more than me, but mainly 'cause when I bend a steering arm it's much nicer to grab one for $20 than to try and make another one exactly right from scratch
Those cylinders look awesome in black. Nice touch with the wear-band modification.
I don’t think you bought a lemon. It needs a lot of work, that’s for sure, but you knew that. On the plus side, that will generate a lot of great videos for us to watch. Looking forward to the cab rebuild if you video that, as it will be something a bit off-piste.
Im an all rounder but most of all a sprayer, i freaked out when kurtis mixed the etch primer in the spray gun, but totally redeeemed himself with the mix cup and cone micron filter lol, loved the camera work and editing, you guys are definitely figuring out the angles of your workshop to take us along the journey, love it.
The videos are very good and really not too long. I do hope the oil samples prove to be ok so you don't have to do a lot of clean-up.
I was hoping the chopper would land and ask for some form of help but you can't have everything.
Have a great weekend, and remember to have some fun,
jack
Impossible to have a video too long with Kurtis at the controls and Karen behind the camera!
Another fine project restoring these cylinders. Thanks for always giving us your best, Kurtis. I know making these videos takes a lot of your valuable time and we all appreciate it very much. I can’t wait to see those cylinders installed on the crane on the next episode. It’s good seeing how excited Safety Officer Homey gets when opening his packages. I’d be excited too with all the gifts he keeps getting, he’s such a lucky boy. You both take care of yourselves and we’ll see you on the next episode.🥰🥰
Здравствуйте. Куртис как всегда молодец в работе. Карен молодец в съемке. Вы оба молодцы. Дополнения друг друга.
Good job Kurtis, so pleased everything turned out OK. We used to fit magnetic drain and level plugs on to all our gearboxes and hydraulic fluid tanks/reservoirs. It didn't stop everything, but they collected enough to stop major damage as best we could see. We had a 21 speed, synchromesh industrial gearbox, we had 8 magnetic plugs in it. We had a maintenance schedule every 3 years and they worked great. Had to drain the oil clean the inside of the box and fill with fresh oil. We took the old oil back to base and ran it through a centrifugal cleaner and used the oil in our test bay. See you guys next time, be safe and well.👍👍
Great idea on the magnets!
Content like this is always super annoying to me because the camera operator never gets the shots that I want to see - but with you guys it's more like every time I notice myself thinking "man I'd really love to see this from another angle" here it comes, a sweet closeup of the exact part I wanted.
You guys are awesome, much love from central Europe.
I just don't know which I like more. I like all the cool machinery stuff that K & K have to show us (regardless of vid length) ... BUT I absolutely adore the Homey content where, like most pets and kids alike, he enjoys the box just as much or more than what came inside it. HA.👍
2.5 Bananas and you want to make things "standard" I see what you did there !!! Give Homie a big hug, thank you again Karen and Krurtis!!
Top video as always folks, fascinating watching you rebuild those things. Only disappointment was I was waiting for an eff off Helicopter. 😛 Video length is fine with such good content and excellent camera and editing work. Top quality work from both of you. Cheers. Can't wait for the cab build part to see how that goes.
You guys are truly awesome. The editing is 10/10. You know exactly when to change the tempo to avoid repetition and it's very much acknowledged and appreciated 👍👍
Thank you team . The script and toy box got shredded and the video and cylinders are beautyful.❤😂😂😂
I am sorry if my previous question implied the Franna was a lemon, she is a lovely crane, just seen a lot of hard work and the cylinders looked worn out. Kurtis I did recognise your amazing skill and love how you salvaged the operatioal parts then reconstructed the cylinders to better than new operational spec. I also appreciate how you are showing your techniques in getting the measurements so precise. I see it but if it was me I feel sure I would not be able to do what you do. You are a sculptural artist, not a fitter and turner.
You need to get yourself a coaxial dial indicator for clocking in bores. They are super easy to use and I always found them to be faster than an edge finder, and with no potential calculation errors either. Simply the easiest way to find a hole center. Love the videos keep them coming
Cheers
I really want one because I have spent far too much time on the few occasions I have tried to set up a rotary table and center something in it.
That satisfaction when you clicked over from mm to in and it was EXACTLY 2.5 inches!
Quick question - What's your favorite metal to work with? What metal do you find most attractive after machining? The bronze really looked good after you machined it!
Thank you for all the amazing content!
Enjoying the videos lots I think you're my current favourite UA-camrs. Very entertaining and informative at the same time. I'm only an amateur with hobby type machines in my garage but I'm learning all the time. I hope you go from strength to strength. Keep it coming please.
I like how you held the cylinder rod in the press to thread on your piston assembly, what a Behemoth!
The crane is getting so much needed love, can't wait to see it all completed. Will be a heck of a journey.
should have a bet going...how many "parts" to this project will there be 😅

thank you for the support we appreciate it!
I think if I were a customer of yours, I would be comforted knowing that the details that you did in this video for yourself is the exact same details that you do for your customers. Awesome work from both of you.
It's really cool to see you do pretty much the whole process... I've seen most of these operations before, but usually, you're just fixing one thing, not making the whole part new.
Also, kind of amazing that you can drive these pneumatically...
Top tier work as always!
Looking forwards to seeing them on the crane.
And crab people are apparently real, who would've thought.
Kurtis, here is a tip for your sandblast cabinet; put a smalle heater in or under the media container. It doesn’t need to be much, just a few watts. Reptile heaters work well for this, but I used to use an incandescent bulb. (15w Christmas tree light to be more specific. ) and a 24 Hur timer, set to run it a few hours during the night. This keeps it a few degrees above the ambient temp, and the condensation problems will be a thing of the past.
Thanks for the tip 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering my pleasure. Love your show.
"Spot on Bevin" now I have to go watch Ronnie Johns clips for the next hour. Great work as always, in front of and behind the camera! Cheers from Oregon!
That bronze is beautiful.
Finally machining something with some color!
Homeless is like a little kid with wrapping paper. Great series K and K!!!
As a layman, one of the things that amazes me is the pure number of machines and what seems to be hundreds of specialized tools and fittings Kurtis owns and uses. Great work here, a real craftsman. PS Kurtis looks like he was swabbing an 18th century cannon at one point in the video.
Great post you two. See you both in just a bit EH ! Soon you will be making that x-heavy duty boring bar that will lessen the vibration in all your pieces. It really works better than you imagined bud, Lady bud, LOL.
you really can tell a lot about a man who keeps his tooling in the original case love your work mate !
Aye. Kurtiss is a very organized fellow and it shows in his business. If he'd be in Europe, i'd honestly hire him for every job, and i wouldn't have to do the work myself, because between him and some of the local competition, there's a whole Everest of difference. Rarely have i seen someone so diligent. They're out there, but they're best kept secrets, because few want to share them. :))
@@aserta as a machinist and welder myself, I can tell you that organizing and planing a jobs stages from start to finish is half the battle also keeping your shop clean and tidy makes your work that much easyer and keeps your machinery huming a long between services
@@johnathangoldsworthy Having your workshop set up to facilitate easy and logical organisation helps a lot. I was fortunate in having my old boss (a VERY experienced and skilful machinist) help me lay out the machinery, and the tooling storage.
It helps so much in both quickly finding the tool you need, and encouraging you to return it to the correct place when you've finished with it.
Strong work as always. Squaring up the rod eye with the 123 was mint. Smarter not harder.

Love watching your videos, for a couple of reasons, 1: Watching you work reminds me of my time in a machine shop and how much I enjoyed it, 2: it's become a part of my weekly routine and I feel better when you post the weekly vid, and 3: I watch how Karen edits the videos and then try to replicate it when I do my own videos. (I like how she unlinks the audio to keep it the same speed when speeding video up)
Enjoying the Franna rebuild! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the work to come.
Take it easy guys, have a great weekend.

Glad you're enjoying the videos and the editing side of things, always good to know if our viewers are picking up on any tips or tricks. Cheers, Kurtis & Karen
I'm continually impressed with the skill of your camerawoman! She gets lots of VERY interesting angles and shots. Well done.
Amazing work ... as always ... Infront of and behind the camera. Just love the way the bushings turned out ... looks like Christmas with all the glitter! And that Safety Officer Homey ... just a treat to watch; happiest pup ever!! Hope AUS Customs finally cleared my package and dropped it off. Hope you enjoy the gags and the treats. Very best always, 42-Jack
My personal opinion is you can rebuild this crane the way you want it and you know how it’s built and everything works at that point. For the price you said you paid on the video where you showcased it I believe you’ve made the right choice as well. A little work and a bunch of paint and it will look practically brand new.
Hey Karen. Nice work on the video. I loved the Bronze being bored out, with the golden chips flying out. Still watching the rest of the video for rhe first time though.
The split screen is very informative a more thorough understanding of the process. Thank you!
Well, the boom lift cylinders are all tickety-boo, even primed and painted! Now we wait for oil analysis.... wouldn't be a bit surprised to find there's a bit more repair work in your future. But you're the bucko to get it done! Btw, you got 2 views from me: the first was mostly listened to while I was setting up laundry, and the second while the laundry worked. Lots of fun with cameras and such, and Homeless tore the box up while ignoring the treat... just like a kid! Good video, thanks!
Kurtis, really enjoy hearing your thought process as you work through a job. I'm surprised you didn't put racing stripes or your CEE logo on the cylinders!
Karen your video and editing skills are superb. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some television or movie company try to hire you away! Fingers crossed for a good outcome on the oil tests. Have a great week.
Forget the doubters! I've always been impressed with the decisions you make and know they're the right ones! Excellent job you two!
Thanks mate appreciate the support
Audio-visual help doubles as manager of the two males in the shop. Both functions are carried superbly. CCE content is A+.

Привет Карен! Твои руки- золотые, ты- отличный специалист.
Karen your editing skills and camera work are getting really good...Karl's engineering skills are ok too
haha thank you! I've gotten quicker with editing so challenging myself with dual video and multiple angles 😁👍
I love it when you're drag out new tools that I have not seen before it is so good to see how things are made it would be nice one day if you show us something a little bit different that you can make with a lathe
Hahaha Kurtis the Krab kkkk
I really like your thoughts on making things standard. It's awesome to see someone making custom parts that are better than the factory, that don't have custom part price tags.
I wish I had a 150 ton work-holding-device1!!!! LOL Marvelous work Kurtis. I've always been impressed by your attention to keeping the hyd systems sealed up. Once the crud gets in it is hard to back up the elephant.... CAT was always insisted lines, cyl, etc. remain capped until lines were connected. Even then
contaminates got in.
Have a great summer. It has turned DRY here and we are currently 5" behind for the year. Corn and beans are struggling.
You continue to buy great equipment, at fair prices, knowing you can bring them up to standard economically and continue to grow your shop's ability to take on an expanded project offerings. Your work, and Karen's skill in capturing the processes along the way, is a pleasure to watch and learn from.
Hopefully he can write off his labor for the cee and write it off again for filming youtube
@@nickcollins1528 His gain for the restorations is a lower capital cost and expensing the parts; win, win.
Just realized that beside the awesome content we have an awesome camerawoman. Time after time I think it's like a real documentary but better filming what people want to see. Keep them coming 👍👍👍
thank you so much!
Nice job. And there I was watching, you start painting and then you paint them BLACK! I wasn't expecting that.
So glad you found that vinyl pour spout. I've used those for years and saved my drips.
Love watching a master of the trade show what's possible. Best from a fan from British Columbia.
Awesome video guys, as always. You've trained Homeless pretty well! He's a perfect mascot for the shop. Keep up the great work and we'll keep watching!

Nicely finished out with real paint! The new cylinders go with the clean shaven face! Keep up the great work!
IMHO, it's always better when you do the repairs yourself, then you know it's good and reliable. Well done Krab....er I mean Kurtis 🤣. That was perfect Karen, made me laugh hard 😆👍. Cheers Blessings and have a Great Weekend 🙏❤.
Love those slo mo’s, especially when you machine the outside of the material and you can see the cutting surface. Nice job
I just purchased my first Bridgeport milling machine. No doubt this channel was the catalyst to my milling intrigue. Cannot wait to get a lathe next. Awesome content as always.
hell yeah mate that's awesome! 👍
Gotta love those edge finders.... Back in the day I took a Tech school machining class and another student borrowed the instructors edge finder, chucked it up in a mill and turned it on without checking what RPM the mill was set at. I think the mill was set at somewhere around 3500 RPM and the edge finder literally exploded! The entire class spent the rest of the class crawling around on the floor looking for the pieces of that tool. The instructor was loosing his shit on the student and we were just about crying because we were laughing so hard. Just had to share that.....
Another great video in the crane series. Great video work and a consistent narrative through out at every stage of operation. Looking forward to the next. Thank you
Another work of art by CEE. Excellent content Kurtis. Cheers to Camera person Karen for not missing some great shots
Looking forward to seeing those cylinders in action.
Now thats a really nice bit of work Kurtis. Lets hope for good news on the hydraulic system. Have a great weekend all. Regards from Wales
Fantastic project,great crane and awesome machining...not to mention a military fly by,visit from Russell and hilarious outtakes.
P.s. your videos can NEVER be too long.
Yeah - from the amount of videos I have watched, I have stopped assuming that you haven't done your "homework" before venturing into a project. Your knowledge, ability to explain issues and the videography tells me that you both are masters at your work.....AND - what a treat - an MRH90 flying over? Woohoo!!!! What a BEAST!!! I am a pure fan of helicopters!!!
I like your crane and it’s a good thing you’re doing the repairs so you know what you’ve got and it will last you for many years, so I think you got an excellent machine.

It's always a joy to watch quality work and craftsmanship by someone who cares. Every video you both put out is fun, animal love and educational. Thanks for the content.
