First job is replacing the bristles on a bucket brush. The rotor is removed from the brush, the old bearing is cut off with the grinder and gas torch. Good practice to replace the bearing anyway so no point wasting time trying to remove it without damaging it. Once its out, the old bristles are removed. The rotor is found to be cracked, so that needed a welding repair. After repairing the cracks, new bristles are put on then the brush is put back together.
Second job is to cut off and replace the brackets on an electric pole grab. The old brackets are removed using the airarc gouger and gas torch, once removed and ground flat, the new JCB brackets are welded on, along with the bracket stops. The grab also needed the bar replacing that joins the jaws together as this was bent. New washers were cut out with the cnc plasma to be welded onto the bar. It was then test fitted and then painted.
Final job of the video it to shorted a conveyor roller. The original roller had snapped and the spare wasn’t correct. The customer needed to be back up and running the next day and with me not having the materials in stock to make a new one, the decision was made to shorten the spare. The bars were first cut through with the 9” grinder and removed. The old end plates were then cut off using the gas torch. The shaft was put in the lathe to have the ends machined down to the correct size and a new keyway was milled. 2 new plates were cut out on the cnc plasma table. The end plates were welded back on and also the bars.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching!

I'd like to think your customers appreciate the way you go the extra mile to keep them operating. Thanks for posting.
Agree 100%!
Yes that’s what i was thinking. They know the job when completed in a timely fashion will be not only be very accurate but spot on.
I watch what you make, break, or fix because what you do is different. You cannot be accused of being boring, Please keep showing us what you do, thanks
Agree!
Please stop saying your jobs are not interesting. They represent real life needs. Excellent and informative work 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Word for the day: Faff: unnecessarily complicated. Thanks!! Love your channel
Wonder about that.
I thought the letters actually stood for something
Congratulations hitting 30k subs ,straight up hard working and brilliant at what you do 👍👍no frills just getting it done
Nice work. You do what’s necessary to keep the customer working. Remember the two rules of customer service:
Rule #1- The customer is always right.
Rule #2- If the customer is wrong, see rule #1.
I like the way u see the solution and don’t dwell on the problem
watch your back when lifting those heavy metal plates, Snow👍👍👍👍👍
Terrific fabrication but Dexter was the best bit! 😍
My favorite hobby channel. Overall, this is an informative and interesting video. It's always interesting when you show how to explore different techniques. Great job, Thank you for posting. 🤝🤝🤝♥♥♥
Gday, congratulations on 30k subs, definitely a wide variety of jobs come through the door there, great job, cheers
How good was that, three jobs all completed satisfactory. The undercutting on the welding of the tractor fixture looked a bit extreme, like a mistake a first year apprentice would make. Still no real harm done. The change from gas to plasma cutting on the new machine is quite impressive, really simple. Great post just right for an easy Sunday morning, thanks and take care 👍
You can only be a proper engineer when you have a dog apparently
Yep, a dog will give you the edge which ever trade you're in.
Well duhh 😂😂😂😂😂
I don't totally agree.
every shop needs one... or ten
And a pussycat, preferably two or three.
The variety of your jobs makes your channel interesting. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post your work.
not boring at all, it pays the bills & keeps the light on...
That last job looked the most technical and difficult, but as usual you did a grand job of it!
All that you do is interesting to some of us.
Keep up the great work Oliver.

Awesome, thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
the new plasma cutter does a very nice job in your capable hands as you seed simple jobs in there right but lots ,ore than a simple welding job if you don't take the time to line it up and do the little extras you d so the job lasts i am sure the customers appreciate what you do even if they don't say so but meat we notice thanks for showing us a day in your work load Cheers from down under
Nice variation of work. The plasma beginning to pay for itself.
VERY NICE to see a bloke wearing a proper full face respirator when gouging. saveing your eyes and lungs for later in life. Kurtis from CEE is the only other fuy that wears one, and by the looks, it's the same make and model.
Show ogf you craftsmanship. Let us see your welds before you grind them smooth. Always loov a good bead.
If you have a four jaw on the lathe and a dial indicator you could have got that square without having to modify it.
Overall 10 out of 10
Epic fix on that conveyor roller. Especially considering the deadline imposed.
A good variety of work makes it interesting your doing a great job all-round .
My go to with bearing races is the slit disc on a grinder, 9/10 times I can cut it and drive a chisel in and not mark the shaft, but if I’m burning them off I do it burning straight down, I can usually see what I’m doing better. Another great video 👍🏼
Another great video Oliver, congratulations on 30k!
All your jobs are interesting.
Hello from the USA Oliver....I can say you do have a variety of projects to share. Each with its own difficulties and your thought process to get the project repaired. Like you said ...."sometimes you got to do what you got to do" Thanks for sharing!
three projects in one video? dude you are rolling, enjoyed every minute of it.
Glad you enjoyed!
Love all the videos, they are never boring. Keep them coming
Enjoy your channel very much. Your explanations of what you're doing makes the video very interesting. especially like when you make a tool or some devie t help you.
Nice work! On all three jobs! Cool! Thanks for sharing 👌👍
I am very impressed with the way you go about jobs, like you said it would have been easier to make a new one but you got stuck in to keep the customer happy and out of trouble. Love your channel and a collab with WeldderFabber.
Congratulations on 30,000 subscribers Oliver!
Thank you very much!
That was three interesting jobs completed. You sure get a variety of work in for repair and re-making. Glad I found your channel.
All the best from Queensland Australia.
Thanks Oliver, another great video👍🍺🤗
I like the rotary positioning at the end - exceptional hand/eye😊 coordination
Couldn’t help thinking you could produce your own muck sweepers that would at least have some integrity in their construction. 🤓👍
For that kind of a brush, i'd mount extended greasers to the topside to grease the bearings. Most people don't grease those because it's in the "muck".
Congrats on 30k!
Nicely done, Mr Snowball. I really appreciate the video! And now i know how that brush works, among other new things!
😂😂😂 Shrinkflation is everywhere these days Oliver 😅😅😅! Cost of 2 more brushes saved! 😅😅😅
Amazing how many different jobs come your way, we learn new equipment by just watching. Thank you.
Had to google that one... faff. Agree your approach seemed pretty fast and easy. Not faff 😊
I look forward every Sunday to seeing Snowball. With all the @#$% in the world it's great to sit and watch someone making and fixing equipment. Even better if it's an honest tradesman like Oliver.
Well said!
All jobs 1 class thanks.
Congratulations on 30 K, nice variety of job's, nice job on turning manipulator over.
That crowned roller was a difficult job.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
Where I worked from 2004 they designed and built loads of conveyors for all over the world, plus everything that the vegetables and salads producers needed, R J Herbert engineering, Great show as always.
Excellent work, as well as under a deadline. Thorough and to the point in your repairs. Enjoyed, BTW, good looking dog.
Congrats on hitting 30K subs! Dexter is handsome pup. Enjoyed the multi job video. Cheers.
Good work Oliver 👊🏻👍🏻
The first job on the vid - those brush bearings, when I was in the mechanicking business back in the day I found the best way to remove inner bearing tracks was to use a slitting disc as you said, but instead of risking damaging the shaft you cut until about an eighth of an inch short from all the way through then give it a good hard smack with a nice sharp one inch cold chisel, and it fractures instantly....at that point it expands enough to slide off with ease.....never failed me in years of doing it that way.......and its heaps quicker.
thanks for sharing ! like your video,s.
cheers ben.
Good evening, I have started to watch your video's. You are willing to take on the challenges, that come your way. The only hindrance that you have is working equipment and modern machinery. In time you will. Every day is school, the learning never ends. Always go beyond your customers expectations. They will always come back to you. Keep up the good work, Joe Capo.
You would love a scarfing tip if you haven't tried one already. Great for blowing out welds, cutting bearing races, and just about anything that requires removing a metal overlay without damaging the substrate. Old school rocks.
Scarfing brings out the inner artiste. ROFLMAO
Take care............nice job lineup.
30k and growing Great work Oliver ..
great show. thanks for your time. cant wait for more.
Around here in the US a small general contractor in construction getting started is referred to as having "a dog and a pickup truck".
In the 80's I used to deliver fuel to battery egg farms, looking at that brush reminded me of the god awful smell that came out of those places. Nice to see that there has been absolutely no change since the 80's, when it comes to keeping their equipment serviced and cleaned. That cutting table is certainly earning its wages, definitely looks like it was a brilliant purchase.
Congrats on 30K Subs. Will be 100K soon no doubt 👍👍👍
Cheguei aqui no canal com 3.000 inscritos, e hoje somos em 30 mil. Parabéns! Gostei desse novo formato.
Amazing work as always, so glad I found your channel.
Congratulations on 30k subscribers.
Thank you!
Great video mate and great job on all the projects. I really enjoyed the different jobs in one video.
Nice work as always.
Great repair on Esther Rantzens toothbrush 😁
Great work as usual.
Great job, as always, mate.
Mate amazing work!
Awesome work as always
Nice job,well done.
Excellent all round, as usual !
It amazes me that you get over 16k views and only 2k likes. I almost always click the like when I watch a video, very rare that I don't. But YOU always get a like from me when I watch your videos!
Thanks Bruce!
Really enjoyed your video
Love your show and you know what ..........no crappy music
Thanks for the video. Good filming. Thanks
Great job 👏
Great repair that squire!
another two jobs well done.
You can use your torch, to blister the paint off. And use a wire brush or wheel. Bad welds will eventually fail, Joe Capo.
Great video!
Every small job is good because a lot is learnt by idiots like me. You do a great job at fixing others people’s crap work. Good on ya.👏🇦🇺😁
Good stuff mate!
I really enjoyed the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ottime riparazioni complimenti 👍
Easy way to get centred on a bar for keyways without fancy measuring is to touch down on the shaft with your cutter a few thousands and look at the shape it makes ( looks like a butterfly ) you can move in or out a few thou till the cut pattern looks like the wings are exactly the same when you cut down and then you will be perfectly centred on the bar. As a miller for many years this is a very quick way to cut the keyways without taking out the cutting tool and measuring then working out how much to move and having to replace tool, old school.
Well done bro
Nice work. I'd definitely have a mask on for this job.
NEXT VIDEO IDEA: Make a steady rest on the plasma table????? I like these short job videos, I like all your videos, you put up the videos, we'll decide if we like them 😁😁😁
This channel is going to get huge, project steady rest upcoming??
Well done!
Olá amigo sempre um trabalho perfeito!!!
3:03 I use a grinder, just don't go all the way through. That race is hard as diamond gnats, so if you mark it, then strike it with a blunt chisel, it will snap. I've done this on big bearings too, where cutting would've meant using a lot of disk. Just a decent slit per size of race and bam, off it falls.
7:00 Smokes, that's so cheaply made! My brother has a very similar one from the 80's. Made in Poland, and that little plate you're pointing at at the time index is 1 cm thick plate, welded all the way around. Whoa, that's cheap. :))
Muito bom! Obrigado por mais um vídeo, abraços do velho professor Luiz Rossi do Brasil.
Nice run of bread and buttter jobs Snowy, ......... now all you have to do is get paid!
Good video lad👌👍
well done
bearing puller for Christmas then!
Good stuff
8:42 reminds me of putting clutches in an automatic transmission.
Nevermind i see you still had the JCB there to get measurements from
Last time I bother you - personal question - you seem to deal with any machining welding engineering job - can I ask - what where you trained as - tell me to mind my own beeswax if thats too personal - I just like the way you work - you don't seem to get phased by much. cheers.
I worked at a local agricultural engineers before. Doing similar work to what I’m doing now but with more fabrication.
