      As an Ex Pro Sound and Audio Engineer who has had a couple of decades of experience in live events and pretty much all manner of media production all I can say is that it's all the little things that this channel gets right that lifts it well above the pack. Not only is Kurtis a true master of his craft but Karen's videography, editing and production prowess would be right at home in productions worth 100x what this channel sees.

    Dude, yalls channel has helped me in spades at the shop with ideas and processes for different jobs. Granted i had to modify a few things to some of your techniques to make what I had goin on work but overall I cant thank you enough for making vids like this for other fabricators out there like myself. Im slowly but surely building the weld shop at work from scratch to eventually be able to manufacture parts for our customers like you do. Eventually what I want to see my section of the shop do is be able to make whatever the hell the customer needs and not have to order it out of state and wait for months for the parts to show up like we and several other heavy equipment shops do now. When we are able to do that Im 100% sure those other companies will be contracting US to make parts for them as well as us taking care of our customer base. Might take 5 or 7 yrs to do that but im willing to wait and see what the fruits of my shops labor will come to bear.

    Hi, Curtis, it is unbelievable that you know so many tools and lathes and mills and use them skillfully. You are a professional maintenance technician. On the weekend morning, after breakfast, I see you professionally and meticulously completing each customer's repair work, saving them a lot of money. This makes me feel very happy. Thank you, and thank you Karen for the filming and editing. Best wishes to you.

    Great video.

    CEE is the best channel on YT! best in everyway, i was holding my breath till you came back.. thanks i have reduced watching other channels that only put out content every other 3 weeks or channels with a big room filled with brand new $$$$$ machines and granite tables with little interesting comment coming forth. keep up the good work, thanks again and Merry Christmas!!

    Nicely done, that Biz 80 steel doesn't like machining, but it is ideal for the guide bar. Good start to Friday, been awake since 2:30, CEE post came through at 7:00. The use of Coppertec /Copperease really does make life easier if you have to remove bolts, nuts, pins, etc. It reduces the possibility of the fastener seizing up, which when you are adjusting gearbox backlash in the rain and wind, it is a most welcome product. Thank you Kurtis, Karen and Homey, take care and be well 👍

    Another great job. It's a pleasure watching Kurtis jump onto whatever machinery and operate it. And hats off to Karen for the excellent video production and including the outtakes where Curtis can allow his grumpy old tradesman to vent a bit, not that he's old or even really grumpy. He can laugh at himself after getting peed off.

    10:06 I envy your skill with that torch; I can't imagine how many hours of use it has taken to get that good. I also had to remember the only reason you were using a torch instead of a plasma cutter was probably because of the "Tax" on electrical equipment in the form of "Safety Inspections".
    For those that don't know, Australia requires testing and tagging electrical equipment and the numbers I did find(South Australia instead of Queensland) for the cost, put it between two and three thousand dollars per piece of equipment. Kurtis mentions those inspections as one of the reasons he uses so many Air Tools in his Q&A from December, 20222.

    Love that little Zayer mill; great entry level machine for the backyard hobbyist! My cat was raised by a couple of German Shepherds from 4 weeks, so when he sees Homey, he hops up on my lap and gives it has his complete attention. His name is D8, of course and he also pays close attention the birds and the MIG welding. He doesn't like Case or John Deere machinery that much and wanders off after a bit when he sees them. Just because they're yellow, he isn't fooled.
