Don't let the know it alls bother you, you do things the way you are comfortable with. You're a bright young man who adapts well and watches how other do things. With many repairs ending up better than they were new. Catch ya next Sunday morning, bright and early. Florida USA
We do not invent a new world when born. Metal work and machinery go back to ancient history. We learn from those before us who spent lifetimes apon lifetimes adding to the knowledge. This guy is doing great work. When i see an old man walk through it makes me wonder if this is the father. The best father makes his sons better than he was.
Keith Fenner has some good videos on straightening bent shafts, he mostly does boat drive shafts that need to be spot on. He does it with heat and water and relies on the natural tendencies of metal to pull when heated, then cools it off quickly with cold water. Worth a watch.
You have become a great man in your community, Oliver. The work you do helps so many farmers keep in business with this economy and government regulations, killing their way of life. People can't afford to buy new equipment every time, something goes south. The work you do keeps food on the table for so many people. I'm sure your family is proud of the work you chose for a living. I can't wait to see you have fun with your pulling tractors again.
You definitely take on some non-standard jobs, it's great to watch, I've picked up a lot of tricks from watching your channel. My favorite is still welding the crow bar to the work to nudge pieces up or down, tack, then break off the welds to release the bar. Keep the content coming, it's a pleasure to watch.
Hi there I have made a lot of augers in the past we used Sched 40 pipe The flights are profiled in circles and then cut To start we tacked the first plate to the end and then expanded the flight with a come along using a plate clamp ,tacking as you go Welding on one side only on the thrusting face We used Corten plate 3 5 or 6mm plate as needed We also plated flights in mobile cement mixers with Corten It wore better than MS Plate Hope this helps for info Cheers from NZ

Hi, Oliver. Saved the farm a bunch of money again this week. Nice work. I can't help but stare at your new fixture table and tools. Worth every penny. Thanks for letting us watch your work and see you next week. Cheers.
I’m sad you have not had enough time to make a clamping tube for your boring bar taper. It is great to stay busy. One would think watching a boring job would be boring, but seeing all the details in 2x speed makes it very interesting. Thank you for you interesting videos.
The auger repairs were tricky to do, but in your usual style you overcome any difficulties. I would imagine there were very time consuming to do ! Thanks for sharing the jobs from this week. Brian from South Yorkshire.
With the auger, we would have sent it to someone like you to fix. We knew it was too much for us. Thanks for being there for us to rely on, to get the job done, better than we would, As for the rest, well it's in your domain to do stuff like that. That is why you are so important to farmers and the rest of us. Thanks Ollie, that was another Snowball challenge knocked out of the stadium.
I noticed the red helmet at the start to do tacks and short welds and the ventilated one for long term welds... A good strategy in my opinion! I mention this because of a comment on another video suggested the ventilated one was somehow overkill. It boggles the mind how anyone could think this way! Welding gasses are poison! And the augers... What a pain in the *ss! Good to see you endured it to success! Thanks for another good video!
The auger was a tough challenge. If you hadn't mentioned at the start that they were handed it would have been 50:50 if I'd have made them the right way. A longer pin (whilst pulling to length) might have saved a bit of time. All in all a decent repair. It's worth remembering that it's an auger for a combine not a fuel delivery system for NASA.
Morning Oliver. Great mixed video again. You have not showed line boring in awhile, thnx because it is frankly (ready for this….) BORING! No way I thought pulling up with the forklift would work as well as it did. Great work. Until next weekend. Be well Cheers
Well this is one of the coolest videos I have ever watched in a long time! I kind of got lost there, with your accent and how you figured out in using that program; as to how you came up with outside/inside diameters in cut dimensions, versus what they would be in stretched dimensions! Then I think I thought along same lines as you had, with that spare auger blade, if you just turned it around, the twist should be the other way! - Then, your whole process started me wondering; how are they made in the factory? Bet its a process of bender/shapper/rollers that form a continues strip of steel plate into the auger blades and as it passes through it gets shaped into the continues auger blades! But, I sure would like to see it, and then meet the guy that came up with the machine design to begin with!
You mentioned On Fire Welding. You, he, and IC Weld are among my very favorite welding and fabricating channels. I think I saw the same Pakistani video on making auger flights. Those guys are amazing with what they can accomplish with so very little to work with.
Hey, I think your thinking is right on! That was a wicked job to use the old Yankee ingenuity bending to make it come out! I have taken farm jobs to welders and they do not like it because it's not engineered to their standards. About all you do is farm agricultural welding! thanks for another welding video!
I like it so much, you can always do it different, Oliver is a wise lad, I bet he is a good listener too. Nice work I enjoy your new tools and the construction table, it helps. Keep on
The company that was over the road from me until about 5 years ago made augers for more than 40 years and it was always an interesting process watching the fliting get made. They made it as continuous fliting as well as pressing segments from sections kinda like what you did. They did from about 4" diameter up to about 14" in both left and right hand twist. Watching both continuous and segmented flites get made was always an interesting process. They used to make kilometres of the stuff and when welding to the pipe care had to be taken to keep the pipe straight by staggering welds as when it's whipping around at 400rpm or so it can get a serious whip.
Another excellent combo of jobs thanks for taking us along others will always tell you how to do something but you don't let it bother you and just do it the way you do mate as looks like it works to me those augers year no i would not even have tried you did a bang up job of it for sure saved him a lot of dollars in buying new ones cheers from North Queensland Australia
Fair dinkum Oliver no problem too curly for you! Watching your brain think as you repair the auger, such good solutions, it turned out great.. so did the grid. Your Dad visits while you were fixing the flights, watching you, he must be very proud of you and your capabilities, he taught you well. see you next week.
Thanks for the video! I was really impressed how you tackled making the flights for the auger, and equally impressed how you straightened out the bent one. Almost had it first go even! Thanks for sharing, would be nice to see more auger builds to be a little more in depth with how to make them. 😎👍
Really interesting Oliver, thank you for sharing this; however, your (admirable) commitment made the job much harder. Some pro tips below: On Fire Welding: “My large, highly flammable beard helps me to maintain focus and also smells nice when it burns” PK Bros. : “The key to bring a best auger-wallah is to avoid eye protection, wear open-toed rubber sandals, and oil-soaked dishdasha to ensure greatest flammability and machinery entanglement” You have the NHS laddie, use it !!! 😂😂😂
The auger you had sitting in the yard looked the right hand cos you were stood at the other end of it ! 😂 What those Pakistani channels lack in finesse and technique, they make up for with their ingenuity, they're often well worth a watch, just for a bit of inspiration !
Hi Oliver, I enjoy your videos and your thought processes and abilities to handle and solve so many different types of repairs. Absolutely love your new addition of the fab table, I do have a tip for you with that, along with your spraying anti spatter, don't ground the table,ground the part, when you ground the table and weld spatter lands on the surface it has more of a chance to actually ruin the machined surface by actually melting into the surface versus if you just ground the part.
Hi I must say I very impressed with your forward thinking, when you tackle unusual jobs such as flight making using the fork lift was brilliant. going back to my metal working days at school we where always told to bend over the end of brazing rods for safety reasons only thing of your safety. Keep the good work up.
The auger stuff is really trial and error to match up ,unless you make a full new one . The chopping and changing of jobs makes it quite interesting and adds a bit of a challenge. 👏🤞👍🙏🚜
WELL DONE Oliver. I really enjoyed the auger repairs. For the future you could make an H bar to stretch over the object at had and have a couple of stands on each side of the object bolted to the very nice table to make a "moveable" press arrangement. Have fun busy season in the field. We are happy for the videos we get. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Oliver, there is a machine you use to make augers, you feed flat bar into it and through a series of rollers it forms the auger all in one length or you can weld more flat bar to make long augers, not that you do a lot of work on augers but you may want to keep your eye out for one of those machines, they use to be around back in the 1970's in Australia, you might find a old one in some old workshop.
Another great Sunday Ollie thanks to Snowball Engineering, using great analytical skills and sound engineering saves your local farming community vast amounts of time and money which is so soundly needed in these times
I've always scratched my head about how augers were made. I watched videos of special press machines, and also how the Pakistani guys do it manually. I always presumed the blades where somehow extruded (like fusilli pasta), never thought of doing it with built up rings. Whatever it takes, Ollie will always find a way 🙂
Great video 👍 That quick auger job turned into a education for all of us 😂,i bet the Indian's are having a good old chuckle watching this guy make an auger 😅😅.
More interesting stuff young man. On Fire Welding is a great channel and the auger repair he did looked a bit dodgy when he was pulling the flights but it worked a treat. I have done auger rebuilds but using individual pressed flights from a supplier. The flights were about 8mm thick so probably wouldn't pull. I built myself roller heads for my Sumner pipe stands so l could rotate the auger. I had to rebuild half the auger in luding a section of new shaft after the original got badly damaged. Tricky things to do but interesting.
Good video as usual. Keep up the good work. With the rig welding try and stay propped against something it will help steady your hand. I see you did later on. I’ve also found use a small thin copper backer between the welded joints. Full penetration without the plates welding together. Hope that makes sense.
Great stuff once again Oliver have had Co Pilot on my PC sometime and messed about asking it things but never knew its capabilities till you used it today. Maybe AI will rule one day. All the best, Mike from York.
Augers are prone to bending , if some object get into and under the Auger , it will bend , Its a learning game seeing or hearing how someone else solved or fixed a similar problem . You did .
Those guys in Pakistan make it look easy to manufacture an auger from discs then stretch it out. Tried to make a couple of flights once and it sure isn’t. Great video

That looked like a pain to do, that new bench is a gem.
Nice fix on the auger flighting , not easy to figure out what the repair blanks should be dimensionally!
Work of Art 52:13 these multi job videos are excellent and give an idea of your working week. But big or small projects I enjoy them all.
Fair play Ollie, you’ve thought this one out, enough to give anyone a headache! Take a holiday mate, you deserve it I’m sure 👍🇬🇧
I never thought it was possible to repair the auger with bend. Turned out good!
Yay my Sunday evening is now complete.

Those guys overseas making augers make it look easy, despite them doing it without AI generated dimensions, CNC tables, or often shoes!
But they are made of garbage and unknownium. They don't last or work as well as something built with a ruler and a plan

It's always a bit of a mind bender to replace or repair augers. You've done a good job of cracking the code though. Cheers!
What a pain don’t need many off them jobs well done
Jobs like that last one must drive you round the twist! 😬
Olá amigo muito bom trabalho como sempre,perfeito!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
That auger repair was really tricky. But using the adjustable workbench as a stretcher worked out well.
Would supporting the line borer (drive) help stop chatter? It seems like a lot of weight hanging out on one side.
