    The video is great! One suggestion is to manage the volume level of the music you add. Don't let it be too much louder than your voice or the noise from grinding/welding. Keep up the great work!

    Outstandling repair and to be honest, wouldn't have thought, given I'm no heavy metal machinist, there would've been so much to the process. Loved the entire video, learning about welding a bit over here, then over there, so as to avoid heat warping and it was a delight to see the finished job, done to a high standard.

    Oliver, that was one aced job. A1. Something that's probably occurred to you since then is to add skid plates. They aren't just for abrasion prevention but beef up the rigidity of the bottom at the cutting edge. On that bucket it's obvious the operator abuses the heck out of the bucket and it needs all the stiffness it can get.
    People, don't like the music? Turn off the sound and turn on the sub titles. He's doing his best at two jobs, repair and fabrication and several more hours editing the videos which aew very well done.

    Awesome vid of the troubleshooting and repair process of something like that. it reminds me of when I was the shop foreman for a big masonry company about 8 years ago. One of my forklift operators ran over a large steel grout tub and buggered it quite well. Those are surprisingly pricey and the bosses didn't want to buy or build a new one. Got out the winch, porta-power, some hammers and prybars and talked that 5\16 steel back into submission. Had about 16ft of broken weld to repair on it too. Took about 3 hours and after labor and consumables cost less than 1/5 of replacing it. The office folk couldn't figure out how I got it back into shape. My back was less impressed with my efforts...
    Same driver also ran over a gas saw and a wheelbarrow that same weekend. I had the site foreman let him go after that fiasco. How you miss a bright orange saw, blue wheelbarrow and 5ft long steel tub is beyond me!

    It's nice but to make it better you should control the sound volume and level it across the vid's track. Music is less valuable than good explanation and showing how to be perfect (or aim at it), how to solve or bypass problems and avoid mistakes. You could make us want to learn from you and admire your craftmanship with no corners cut. This kind of admiration is a magnet in this quite a mediocre world.

    Good explanation of your plan of action. Which produced an excellent fix of the bent bucket Good use of fast motion. Excellent video.

Try using an engine valve lapping method .caution don’t leave hydrocarbon deposits due to the explosive reaction with oxygen under pressure.
