ANOTHER GREAT video ..was worth staying up for too watch 630 am now ,, I am in the USA .. it comes back to bite you when you cheap out on a repair ,, some times it cost you a lot more then what the cost was in the first place ,,I understand boring before you weld ,, hard to tell how thick the weld is ..also how thick can you add the weld ? did not know if too thick could be weak ? keep up the great videos ,, I have 2 dogs one is a lap dog .i scream a few times when he lands in my lap he has big feet and hits the target ,, lol ..
Your wife does an amazing job of the videos, very smooth, always in focus, and none of the crappy music fillers that other youtubers do. Her editing is top class too, VERY NICELY DONE as always! Oh, the machining is brilliant too. Thanks for posting.
Robert, I agree with you, amazing job on the videos, I dislike so many YT videos that feel they need all this crappy music at outrageous volume levels to make their videos better. I came to watch portable line boring, not listen to music.
Customers , customers ,,,,, in my 50 years in the service business I had one customer on a 5month contract told me from the start , he didn't care how long it took or the cost ,,,,, just do it right . Although I had only one , it made up for all the penny pinchers and cheap scape ,something for nothing dweebs I worked for . Nice job . God bless you and yours .
Yeah we're lucky that we don't have many of those customers, we kind of set standards early on that we won't deal with tightasses, makes for more enjoyable work for sure
It makes me smile so much to see how happy Tank is, he loves being around you guys! I also have a little suggestion. When bore welding, I have found that if I take a piece of aluminum and use it as a back plate, it will help build that first corner so you don't need to do touchups afterwards and there is no extra grinding/cutting as the plate just falls off when you're done.
Thank you for explaining about some of the measuring. You said on an older video it was boring but it’s not to me. Taking good measurement is an essential part of the job and I’m interested to see how you do it and any tips you are prepared to share. Thanks for all the videos that convey your passion for doing top quality work.
Live on a farm here in Texas. This video is fascinating. We run dozers and until now, we’d of done bush mechanics to solve that issue. Amazing to see the right way to fix it. Thank you for sharing it. Keep it up and may Jesus bless y’all.
Cant forget to give the camera man credit! Every1 always forgets the camera man! PROPS TO THE FAVE WE NEVER SEE. Without you we wouldn’t have any videos!
im not a machinist, or will ever even work in a shop, but love to learn and see how things are done. i find this really interesting. i had no idea some of those tools even existed. i learn something new everyday, thanks for the vid. and i love the ends of your vids with the bloopers. great work, keep the vids coming.
Thank you for giving me a crash course on line boring. I am a farm manager for over 13 years. And in order for me and my wife to live in the same town I'm going for an interview in a week on a possible line boring job. You have taught me allot on only one video today. Thanks and God's speed
IT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE TO SEE THAT YOU DON'T CUT CORNERS AND DOOLDSCHOOL WORK,EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE UP TO THE MOMENT TOOLING! A REAL CRAFTSMAN CAN DO THE JOB RIGHT, USUALLY FASTER THAN TRYING TO USE SHORTCUTS! IT IS GREAT TO SEE THAT THERE ARE STILL REAL CRAFTSMAN LEFT,AND IT IS A PLEASURE TO WATCH, LIKE A FINE DANCE ,BALLET!
I've seen similar work done but never seen it done so efficiently your Sir Meccanica WS2 portable in-line boring and bore welding machine is an incredible tool for jobs of that sort.... And clearly you are a talented machinist/fabricator....
Oh yeah, the good old aftermarket supplyer, gets you every time when you least expect it. Investing hours of proper work into it and paying more for parts in the end. Top notch economics 101.
I'm a programmer, not a mechanical engineer or even a machinist although I have built 2 3 axis CNC machines and made a few parts. But this channel is becoming one of my favorites. It's ingenuity and skill, and I like that.
It is good to see someone using their brain to complete a product that is well done and save money doing it, more important you have a happy customer that will keep you. Thanks for showing us " how to". Great job and i love the dog ,keep the chips out of his paws.
The line boring and welding machine is an amazing bit of kit, just trying to get my head around how the wire feed for the MIG works without the wire getting twisted up! A great job as usual, and another excellent video.
I really must compliment you on having the brains and the balls AND the machines to tackle big, big jobs. This stuff isn’t for the faint of heart…..people entrust you to fix their serious rigs! And you get it done!
you obvious take pride in your work. i would refuse customers that want to “cheap out” when it comes to bushings. you’re a pro, keep your standards up at that level. nice job !!!
I.machined Cat reman cylinders and rod eyes every day for many years . I’m retired now , but it was interesting watching your methods . I ran big old vertical mills and engine lathes . It was interesting watching you set up your portable lined boring machine . I did a lot of line boring but I had to bolt everything to mill tables .keep up the good work .
CEE I always enjoy the work you do. I worked at the Wynnewood Refinery in Oklahoma in the maintenance shop. I worked on all rotating equipment. Watching this is very satisfying for and old mechinest. We were always building up and turning or boring out for bushings.
I have been in the Machining and Welding trade a long time. I took leave from it for like 20 years it's incredible the Machinery they have nowadays to do this line boring. Must have been expensive but worth its weight in gold. Back in the old days we would have cut that out with a torch rough cut of course then we would have had to put it up on our milling machine and that's one heavy piece to deal with. Then we would have had to hand weld all of that always putting more in that we needed to make sure we could get a clean up cut of a proper dimension voice mail holidays. And then obviously we would have to put it back up on her milling machine and bore it to the proper size. Which would have taken probably 10 times as long as it took you to do an even better job that machine is simply incredible God bless you all. Again you did an excellent job I truly miss being a welder Machinist I may be heading back towards that trade.
You have a lot of knowledge ,skills and great tools. One of the best channels. In this case you put a bushing which has -190 celsius in a metal part which had + 200 degrees and it get stuck and you give it a ' light tap 'with a metal hammer. One end was very cold, the other was heating very fast which cause a lot of metal stress. It was not the bushing quality , it was your mistake in this case. We heat the part and hammer the bushing or liquid nitrogen and pushing by hand. We never do it both and even with the part at ambient temperature and bushing from liquid nitrogen we broke one after a ' light tap'. And it was'nt made in China.
A simple thanks man for taking the time and trouble to make these videos. Learning loads and loving the warts and all approach to how you shoot the footage. Love the "no Bull sh1t" feel and can't wait to see what comes in the door next week.
The work you do is way out of my league, but I just love anything mechanical. I just get mesmerized by the complexity watching you going your craft, and the tools you come out with are just mind blowing. Your wife is great on the camera.....and Tank, what lovely companion. Love the bloopers at the end. Keep up the fantastic work team.
always interesting to see what rolls through the door to get fixed vs what gets scrapped, I imagine this service is a small fraction of what it would cost to replace the piece if one could even be had. must be nice working on something that is still a circle for once lol.
Awesome video! I'm a retired fitter and machinist did my time down at a ship construction and heavy engineering company at Cockatoo island back in the 80s. Saw some massive size bearings sleeves for all sorts of applications. When fitting them back then they would either freeze the sleeve or heat expand the hole, it was said not to do both or the thermal shock can crack the bearing sleeve!
Yoyo from Toronto Canada! Just recently found your channel and I'm lovin it! Always wanted to do this when I was a teenager but the Army got me LOL! Thanks for giving me flashbacks to my teenage years hanging out at my friend's Dad's heavy equipment repair shop!
Thank you for taking the time to show us a glimps in your shop I found it really cool to see and expand my knowledge a bit Really liked your trick with setting the right lenght of the tool sticking out
In the forklift industry we have the dreaded TVH/Total source for all forklift parts - absolute rubbish parts but they have no competition other than the oem so everybody uses them. Only company I know where the new pins and bushes you fit have more play in them than the worn ones you took out 😂. Either that the pins are so tight that in the field you have to spend an hour each pin polishing them down with emery cloth. The joys of shit parts.
Right!?! The first shop bores out the bushing so you pay another shop CEE to do it more properly, then bust out on parts??? I get the desire to keep one part on the job site but cheap parts are never cheap.
I myself am also a "craftsman" I thought that I know all the machines on the planet. But now you come with this lathe and I have to overhaul, I can't do that yet. SO now I know everyone! 🤠 What I wanted to say: I am thrilled with your skills! I come from Germany / BaWü / Rheinhausen and from there I would like to say hello to you.
Don't beat around the bush, 'components are absolute shit', love it. That's the benefit of working for yourself, you can say it as it is. I spent many years in a QA role and often found the bosses didn't always like hearing the truth. Great channel, interesting topics and procedures.
Have the same with electrical materials, client says “I’ll provide all the gear you just install it” so I’m there for at least twice as long as I should be!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering now that's funny, I used to charge aggravation surcharge for butthole customers in the photography business,,,,cheers Kurtis, PB in USA
I can't tell you how many times I have been through dealing with managers and such handing me cheaper or off brand replacement parts and wondering why stuff fails soon after installation. I hope the asshole tax is high enough.
18 people who have no lives or sense of humour... great video Sir and Lady CEE. Crap week, but Friday night, watching this is making me chuckle. Cheers. Have a fab weekend.
hahaa yeah we do wonder how many of the dislikes are from people who can't handle the F bombs 🤣 Thanks for watching mate hope you have a better week ahead
1. You are a master of your trade. Your work looks amazing and probably performs the same. 2. You need a shirt that says something from your bloopers, they get me every time.
Excellent work This video documents the correct method of line boring industrial equipment. I had never observed the whole process from beginning to end, you do a great job all the way through.
Just found this channel, as a fitter & turner by trade I can watch this stuff all day. Just amazing how technology has changed, so much easier now than in the seventies. Keep up the videos
Another really great made video . I have done a lot of shrink fits during my career , nut I am fascinated by your use of the nitrogen cooling. Is it expensive? That is the reason we used to get on request, opting for dry ice on occasion. Enjoyed , cheers!
👍👍👍👌👏 Смотрю и "слезы наворачиваются", насколько все просто,. Нам до этого, очень далеко. Случай из моей работы, мне пришлось наплавлять..... болты на 25 мм. Потом протачивать, болты были крепления амортизатора. Вначале совдеповское разверткой, развернул отверстия в размер 25 мм. Потом, наплавил болты, после всего проточил в размер. Потому что, на предприятии, не было денег, что бы приобрести шестигранник на 32, полметра.
Absolutely therapeutic for me. When the safety officer tries to tell you something, you listen, OK? Can you explain how the machine advance the boring bar? What is the machine maximum stroke? BTW for sometime I try to understand what is your name, you swallow it, I think I got Scott, am I correct? 😄😄😄
Hey thanks for always watching. We will do an upcoming video explaining exactly how the machine works with the drive system, maximum machine stroke is 200mm but it can be an indefinite feed if you have a long enough bar haha My name is Kurtis, I have a look alike named Scott Eastwood 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering No way I would have put that hammer hit on the video. The hammer is not an engineering tool, next you will be using an adjustable spanner... Keep that shit hidden.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Was it ? OK. Probably part broke because cold, it didn't look like you hit it hard anyhow. What I meant was, we all break out the hammer, just not in front of the customer. I can see you had to move fast before it got stuck. Thanks for answering, I don't know how do you find the time.
The kid in me is fascinated by the giant Tonka Toy, and the adult realizes the precision skills, knowledge and experience it takes to do these procedures. I’m also impressed by how quickly the work gets done. Bull dozers are definitely “time is money” machines.
I'm always amazed at the things you tackle in your day. I would love that changed of pace. "new day, a new project" If you ever need an aprentice..... Props to your Wife for the Camera work as well.
Hey Curtis. thanks for a great channel. love your work! I have a question if i may. when you weld your line boring bearings to the job, if MiG wasn't an option, what arc rods would you use? especially with dissimilar metals, IE cast vs mild etc? Thanks and keep up the great work.
That line boring tool/fixtures/system is an awesome bit of kit. So I google it... Meccanica WS2... £20k, geewiz! It's got to cut a fair few holes to pay for itself. Blows my head off people will aim to save a few quid on bushes on a job that's going to run into massive labour and transport costs like this. Love your videos, makes a great channel, fantastic to peek inside your industry.
You know when someone is really good at what 5hey do when a normal guy says “I could do that”. Hey if you ever have your liquid nitrogen left over and there aren’t any jobs coming up....take a couple of cups of it pour it into a home made ice cream mix in a stand mixer...best ice cream ever!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering do you ever drop old gloves or a old pair of work boots in then drop them on the ground ,, lol seen videos ,, never had the stuff to do it ,, my luck i would freeze my hand off ..
@@randytravis3998 Your hand is so warm compared to the LN that it would be A-Okay for a second. Unless you dunked your hand in there and kept in in for a few seconds then you'd have a problem. Take a look at the Leidenfrost effect if you get a chance. By the way, I'm a big fan of your music! 😉
Watching you use liquid nitrogen brought back memories of when i use to mechanic on old Cooper Bessemer engines. We used dry ice and alcohol too. You couldn't waste time and you had to be precise once removing the bushing or bearing from either the nitrogen or alcohol when installing in an engine. There was no room for era.
I’m not a machinist,I’m a retired aircraft mechanic,but I’m fascinated with these videos. Amazing ingenuity and skill level. I love Blue Collar jobs like this. This kind of work is something creative that at the end of the day you can actually say you accomplished something. Not everybody has what it takes to do this.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This video took me back to 1987 when my job was to assemble, install, and line bore the nose gear kneel stop assembly of the C-5 Galaxy. Once the cutters were started, I wasn't allowed to stop, or backup. I had to catch the liquid Boelube, and the Beryllium Copper shavings in a sealed container, and call the hazmat crew for disposal. Turns out it was low level radioactive, and highly toxic.
I've had to do line boring from time to time at my machinist job. It is remarkably difficult to find any of the trucks of the trade without working under someone who already has been doing it. Thanks for sharing the vids!
The flash backs when that bush locked up....I had a bronze bush lock up on me doing a re bush for a Hitachi 5500 stick, was reaching for the sledgy as quick as I could, learned the spin as it slides technique that day. Killer setup mate loving the vids you guys knock out!
We had a Boxer X Retriever very like a Staffy on Steroids, she used to go to work with me, and like your Doogie, loved attention, and tried to be a lap dog, not long since I found your channel and love your Doogie, stay safe and well.
I watched a buddy do a repair like this on a excavator arm that was neglected to the point the pin wobbled while I was waiting for his concrete slab I poured to set. I don't know if it was the correct way to do it but he mig welded the pin hole then used a similar setup except for a manual cranking mag drill to move the boring bit. Was pretty cool to see in person but tedious work to say the least. I really enjoy your videos and your attention to detail. I should have watched the whole video before commenting. My buddy did his repair pretty much step by step same as this one...only everything was done manually instead of automated including the welding by hand.
New to your channel and love it, thirty years ago worked as a plant fitter in Africa and the Middle east, still recognise those Caterpillar dozers and graders, happy days, most of the time!
I am very impressed, this is like watching a serious magician apply his magical skills!!!!!!! Thank you very much for these videos. PS whatever you do, don't break up with your wife, she does an amazing job on the videos, and please let us know about you and the gifted wife.
I spent 50+ years as a Toolmaker working on progressively smaller and smaller and more precise parts, ending up as a class "A" grinder hand making laminate and connector molds and dies for electronic interconnect tooling. Many of the inserts we made were so small, that if you dropped them on the floor, you might not ever find them. Inspection by microscope optical comparator and gauge blocks - 1/10th indicator. So it's very interesting to see how things are done at the other end of the machining spectrum as far as scale goes.
I see your dog and makes me miss mine. Her build was just like yours but she was a brindle Staffordshire terrier with an awesome temperament super loyal and a great protector.

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering you're both doing an amazing job. I loved it, no idea why UA-cam sent me here but I'm staying
I agree. The editing is perfect. So many youtubers go over the top with the editing and its a distraction.
I hate like in hate slow-motion shots but these are perfectly timed and executed well done to the editor.
for the machinist well done as well.
Robert, I agree with you, amazing job on the videos, I dislike so many YT videos that feel they need all this crappy music at outrageous volume levels to make their videos better. I came to watch portable line boring, not listen to music.
That bore welding setup is one of the slickest things I've ever seen.
I concur!! I would have thought something like that would be powered by a big lathe, not self sufficient as it is.. pretty cool stuff!!
Incredible tool!
Just short of cheating. Sweet!
Customers , customers ,,,,, in my 50 years in the service business I had one customer on a 5month contract told me from the start , he didn't care how long it took or the cost ,,,,, just do it right . Although I had only one , it made up for all the penny pinchers and cheap scape ,something for nothing dweebs I worked for . Nice job . God bless you and yours .
Yeah we're lucky that we don't have many of those customers, we kind of set standards early on that we won't deal with tightasses, makes for more enjoyable work for sure
It makes me smile so much to see how happy Tank is, he loves being around you guys! I also have a little suggestion.

True. It wont stick either. he could do both sided just cut a hole in the center to see what's going on. over size donut plate

In the forklift industry we have the dreaded TVH/Total source for all forklift parts - absolute rubbish parts but they have no competition other than the oem so everybody uses them.
Only company I know where the new pins and bushes you fit have more play in them than the worn ones you took out 😂. Either that the pins are so tight that in the field you have to spend an hour each pin polishing them down with emery cloth.
The joys of shit parts.
Right!?! The first shop bores out the bushing so you pay another shop CEE to do it more properly, then bust out on parts??? I get the desire to keep one part on the job site but cheap parts are never cheap.
I myself am also a "craftsman" I thought that I know all the machines on the planet. But now you come with this lathe and I have to overhaul, I can't do that yet. SO now I know everyone! 🤠
What I wanted to say: I am thrilled with your skills! I come from Germany / BaWü / Rheinhausen and from there I would like to say hello to you.
So much respect for your knowledge and true engineering skill. Brilliant videos, thanks.
11:22 Seeing a professional like you on the other side of the globe using a SIR Meccanica Spa (CZ) Italy machine makes me really proud...😊
Don't beat around the bush, 'components are absolute shit', love it. That's the benefit of working for yourself, you can say it as it is. I spent many years in a QA role and often found the bosses didn't always like hearing the truth. Great channel, interesting topics and procedures.
Hey mate yeah you're spot on there. I like to keep it real, i'm an honest asshole hahaa
Outtakes are one of my favorite parts of the videos Thank you Kertis and wife
There's two tools I never knew existed before today! Thanks, I was wondering how you were going to get that 'arm' on a mill... WOW, you Guys!
Hey mate glad you got to see it in action! 😎👍
My neighbor does this and he is one of the best in the area so I'm told. Never knew how it worked so thanks for sharing
Have the same with electrical materials, client says “I’ll provide all the gear you just install it” so I’m there for at least twice as long as I should be!
*sigh* that's when they get charged an asshole tax 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering They sure do, still only another year or so and I’m done with it all!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering now that's funny, I used to charge aggravation surcharge for butthole customers in the photography business,,,,cheers Kurtis, PB in USA
I can't tell you how many times I have been through dealing with managers and such handing me cheaper or off brand replacement parts and wondering why stuff fails soon after installation. I hope the asshole tax is high enough.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I Call it a PITA fee. A Pain In The Ass Fee..
Nice to see modern technology at work. I spent 20+ years welding up bores and line boring the hard way.
You're good craftsman! but i'm here for the dog. its sweet.
He's much better looking than me haha
I always give it a thumbs up before the video even starts have learned a lot from watching thanks
What have we learnt here Kurtis? Never let the customer supply anything except the part being repaired!
I am not a machinist, but really enjoy your channel and learn alot from you.
Your pup is awesome!!
Большое Спасибо за русские субтитры!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀

great video Sir and Lady CEE.
Crap week, but Friday night, watching this is making me chuckle. Cheers. Have a fab weekend.
hahaa yeah we do wonder how many of the dislikes are from people who can't handle the F bombs 🤣 Thanks for watching mate hope you have a better week ahead
Great vid, have never actually seen that done before. Labour intensive with specialized equipment.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching

This video documents the correct method of line boring industrial equipment.
I had never observed the whole process from beginning to end, you do a great job all the way through.
HAHAHAAAA man your dogs such a good boy/ girl, never barking heaps and jumping too much
A boy! If you ever see the back of him you can't miss the big balls 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering HAHAHAHAHA ahhh man love the videos!!
Just found this channel, as a fitter & turner by trade I can watch this stuff all day. Just amazing how technology has changed, so much easier now than in the seventies.
Keep up the videos
Another really great made video . I have done a lot of shrink fits during my career , nut I am fascinated by your use of the nitrogen cooling. Is it expensive? That is the reason we used to get on request, opting for dry ice on occasion. Enjoyed , cheers!
👍👍👍👌👏 Смотрю и "слезы наворачиваются", насколько все просто,. Нам до этого, очень далеко. Случай из моей работы, мне пришлось наплавлять..... болты на 25 мм. Потом протачивать, болты были крепления амортизатора. Вначале совдеповское разверткой, развернул отверстия в размер 25 мм. Потом, наплавил болты, после всего проточил в размер. Потому что, на предприятии, не было денег, что бы приобрести шестигранник на 32, полметра.
EVERY dog is a lap dog - even my wife's 240 pound Rottie Mastiff mix - lol
Every dog is a lap dog the only question is how many laps
Wow this whole process is new to me.
You are one talented man.
Never seen it done this way before.pretty cool
Absolutely therapeutic for me.
When the safety officer tries to tell you something, you listen, OK?
Can you explain how the machine advance the boring bar?
What is the machine maximum stroke?
BTW for sometime I try to understand what is your name, you swallow it, I think I got Scott, am I correct? 😄😄😄
Hey thanks for always watching. We will do an upcoming video explaining exactly how the machine works with the drive system, maximum machine stroke is 200mm but it can be an indefinite feed if you have a long enough bar haha My name is Kurtis, I have a look alike named Scott Eastwood 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Nice to meet you Kurtis 😄😄😄
I had never heard of line boring or bore welding! I work in a machine shop and I have seen spray welding and turning but so far never boring
Drop the like before the video has even started 😂😂
Legend! 😎👊💥
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering No way I would have put that hammer hit on the video. The hammer is not an engineering tool, next you will be using an adjustable spanner... Keep that shit hidden.
@@cuckingfunt9353 what if it's a shop made copper forged and machined hammer? 🤔🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Was it ? OK. Probably part broke because cold, it didn't look like you hit it hard anyhow. What I meant was, we all break out the hammer, just not in front of the customer. I can see you had to move fast before it got stuck. Thanks for answering, I don't know how do you find the time.
Use a center sleeve, so it doesn't cock?
The kid in me is fascinated by the giant Tonka Toy, and the adult realizes the precision skills, knowledge and experience it takes to do these procedures. I’m also impressed by how quickly the work gets done. Bull dozers are definitely “time is money” machines.
"We're gonna put some crush on that, about 4 thou"
Ha! We finally gotcha! You aren't completely 100% metric!
Same at the pub.
It's often a pint, or a schooner.
I'm always amazed at the things you tackle in your day.
I would love that changed of pace. "new day, a new project"
If you ever need an aprentice.....
Props to your Wife for the Camera work as well.
The shop safety manager (the pup) is like if you have time to sit around you have time to play with me. Lol
hahaa 100% what he was thinking
First off : Your wife is amazing with the camera work. And you do a pretty good job yourself. Good on Yall

Nice to see a young guy that can measure in metric and imperial and convert in his head.
Tidy work, mate. Nice dog too!
Hey Curtis. thanks for a great channel. love your work! I have a question if i may. when you weld your line boring bearings to the job, if MiG wasn't an option, what arc rods would you use? especially with dissimilar metals, IE cast vs mild etc?
Thanks and keep up the great work.
That line boring tool/fixtures/system is an awesome bit of kit. So I google it... Meccanica WS2... £20k, geewiz! It's got to cut a fair few holes to pay for itself. Blows my head off people will aim to save a few quid on bushes on a job that's going to run into massive labour and transport costs like this. Love your videos, makes a great channel, fantastic to peek inside your industry.
You know when someone is really good at what 5hey do when a normal guy says “I could do that”.
Hey if you ever have your liquid nitrogen left over and there aren’t any jobs coming up....take a couple of cups of it pour it into a home made ice cream mix in a stand mixer...best ice cream ever!
Hahaa thanks mate! I like to put left over LN in a plastic bottle and run away fast 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering do you ever drop old gloves or a old pair of work boots in then drop them on the ground ,, lol seen videos ,, never had the stuff to do it ,, my luck i would freeze my hand off ..
Yeah, 330ml bottles are by the best size for the loudest bang!!
@@randytravis3998 Your hand is so warm compared to the LN that it would be A-Okay for a second. Unless you dunked your hand in there and kept in in for a few seconds then you'd have a problem. Take a look at the Leidenfrost effect if you get a chance. By the way, I'm a big fan of your music! 😉
@@aland7236 thanks for the info ,, i have the same name as the singer ,, i got too meet him 2 times i am a big fan of his too ..
25K+👍's up CEE thanks for sharing your great video with us all
Top quote of the vid. "Suppling absolute shit" lol
I'm not one to beat around the bush haha
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Say it as it is pal. Time is money.
Watching you use liquid nitrogen brought back memories of when i use to mechanic on old Cooper Bessemer engines. We used dry ice and alcohol too. You couldn't waste time and you had to be precise once removing the bushing or bearing from either the nitrogen or alcohol when installing in an engine. There was no room for era.
That line boring machine is the best! Never see it before. A very clever set up!
I’m not a machinist,I’m a retired aircraft mechanic,but I’m fascinated with these videos. Amazing ingenuity and skill level. I love Blue Collar jobs like this. This kind of work is something creative that at the end of the day you can actually say you accomplished something. Not everybody has what it takes to do this.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This video took me back to 1987 when my job was to assemble, install, and line bore the nose gear kneel stop assembly of the C-5 Galaxy. Once the cutters were started, I wasn't allowed to stop, or backup. I had to catch the liquid Boelube, and the Beryllium Copper shavings in a sealed container, and call the hazmat crew for disposal. Turns out it was low level radioactive, and highly toxic.
I've had to do line boring from time to time at my machinist job. It is remarkably difficult to find any of the trucks of the trade without working under someone who already has been doing it. Thanks for sharing the vids!
Hey mate thanks for taking time to watch. 😎👍
First time seeing a 'boring and welding' machine, much less seeing one at work! Thanks!
I am amazed at the breath of knowledge you have of machines and tools.
The flash backs when that bush locked up....I had a bronze bush lock up on me doing a re bush for a Hitachi 5500 stick, was reaching for the sledgy as quick as I could, learned the spin as it slides technique that day. Killer setup mate loving the vids you guys knock out!
I love how you show which part it is on the machine. Makes it somuch more interesting.
Yeah a few have commented saying the same thing! Glad it helps
We had a Boxer X Retriever very like a Staffy on Steroids, she used to go to work with me, and like your Doogie, loved attention, and tried to be a lap dog, not long since I found your channel and love your Doogie, stay safe and well.
I watched a buddy do a repair like this on a excavator arm that was neglected to the point the pin wobbled while I was waiting for his concrete slab I poured to set.
I don't know if it was the correct way to do it but he mig welded the pin hole then used a similar setup except for a manual cranking mag drill to move the boring bit. Was pretty cool to see in person but tedious work to say the least. I really enjoy your videos and your attention to detail.
I should have watched the whole video before commenting. My buddy did his repair pretty much step by step same as this one...only everything was done manually instead of automated including the welding by hand.
New to your channel and love it, thirty years ago worked as a plant fitter in Africa and the Middle east, still recognise those Caterpillar dozers and graders, happy days, most of the time!
First of these I have seen. I am especially impressed with the bore welding. Nicely done.
Orgoglioso della creatività italiana nel offrire soluzioni...
I am very impressed, this is like watching a serious magician apply his magical skills!!!!!!! Thank you very much for these videos. PS whatever you do, don't break up with your wife, she does an amazing job on the videos, and please let us know about you and the gifted wife.
I spent 50+ years as a Toolmaker working on progressively smaller and smaller and more precise parts, ending up as a class "A" grinder hand making laminate and connector molds and dies for electronic interconnect tooling.
Many of the inserts we made were so small, that if you dropped them on the floor, you might not ever find them.
Inspection by microscope optical comparator and gauge blocks - 1/10th indicator.
So it's very interesting to see how things are done at the other end of the machining spectrum as far as scale goes.
Sure to become a Classic example of what the right equipment can do!!! And the know how and skill to use it properly.
Cheers mate thanks for watching 😎👍
I see your dog and makes me miss mine. Her build was just like yours but she was a brindle Staffordshire terrier with an awesome temperament super loyal and a great protector.
