Hi Captain. Your ability to adapt and learn as you go is great but even greater is you bringing us along on the journey. Your humor and dialogue with us as viewers always puts a smile on my face a makes me chuckle. That’s why I always look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks for being the dad and family man you are. Stay safe
Captain you have a vivid imagination and innovation, you put a smile on my face when I see your videos, thank you for making me smile and thank you for being you!!!
I was blessed to grow up with parents that had multiple businesses. I was running torches by the age of 8 and stick welding by 10. My weld and torch cuts at that age looked just like the stuff entry level college students do in their early 20s. Don't worry about how things look right now so long as they work. Getting better will come with experience and time. You are doing just fine :)
WoW! You're raking up the views now, brother. Few are more deserving. And, this is a project that will be concerning me soon once I move out of the city and into the country here in Nevada. Thanks.
Great job! There's nothing like O.J.T.! When I started farming I quickly learned there were things you could not farm without: air compressor, cutting torches, welder and 4 x 4 pickup! With my old Ford T-20 small square baler, I'd bale awhile, run to the shop and weld on it for awhile! But, I ran 20,000 bales through it and sold it for more than I paid for it. One thing about that baler: it never missed a knot! Thanks, Mike! PS: At 7 am this am, we had 1/8" of frozen rain on the ground. I could not stand up on my gravel drive. Be safe! Lee
Much better summary. Good job teaching yourself. My father learned to gas weld using steels cans and welding them end to end. He said everything else seemed easy after that.
Fantastic video. Loved the snow work. Very clever thinker and builder. Goes to show one must protect the eyes and skin. Now to see it do the job which it sure will.
Great video as always. I really like the fact that you don't mind showing your learning process including your errors sometimes, it makes it very educationnal and authentic!
Borderline Professional, The Concept is Very Impressive, Design And Manufacturing Appear To Be Top Notch. Definitely Looking Forward To The Next One, Keep It Safe Out There
Two suggestions, add a piece of light chain to your pins for the scarifier so you don't lose them and get a rosebud for the torch, heats a lot better. It's a work in progress just like life. Stay safe stay warm.
The way you swung the hammer from both sides makes me think you could be a switch hitter playing baseball. Enjoy following you in your adventures, thnks!
It's a beast !!!! Will definitely dig dirt that's for sure ** it will work just fine. Might have to tweek it a bit but will do great. Now make me one lol !!!!!
You're doing good Mr. Mike. It's awesome to see a homeowner fabricating a piece of kit and learning a new skill at the same time. That's how we should go about life. Work with your hands and slow down a little bit. And don't ever forget- Edison didn't fail inventing the light bulb. He found 2,000 ways how not to make it. My only suggestion on your torch work- if you're cutting toward you, raise the handle just a bit above 90° to your workpiece, and if you're cutting away from you, lower the handle. That way the preheat flame will get your steel up to kindling temp and you'll get a cleaner cut with a bit less slag.
@@CaptainKleeman I'm going to send you a few tips for your torch. One is a washing/gouging/scarifying tip. It has a curve to it so you can make a nice flush cut with it. Like for instance when you were cutting the tabs off and what was left of the rollers of the forklift frame. Plus a few others that'll make life a bit easier.
Great ideas for a road drag. If you get a piece of material the same height as you need the torch it eliminates the jerky up and down motion and you can concentrate on cutting speed. I watch a channel called I C Weld, that guy is a master!! Lots of great tips and tricks if you watch what he does. Keep up the great videos! I have a JD400 with a Brantly 420 loader that I’m resurrecting, hopefully more videos to come.
Wow, don’t know how I missed this build but as you have heard many times, I love to watch you use the road drag. It doesn’t matter if you are just dropping it because it is on and you are going from A to B anyway or if you are specifically using it to clean up. Anyway….I’m loving watching you fabricate it. Even though I already know it works….I am excited to see each new development.
Captain, you're doing fine learning as you go. I like your shop. Lol I.C. welds is a really good source on using a cutting torch. His welding is very informative.
Welds are getting much more dime like and the fabrication is solid. Weld penetration is the key. Continuous welds are stronger due to the minimizing of porosity and contamination.
Your doing a good job you will get the hang of it. Your learning more this way then have some one tell you how to. Some time pretty welds don’t hold crap
dang Kleeman - id'a had the whole place burnt down by now with all them dry weeds around. otherwise you're kicking butt and taking names on your fab skills. purty dam smart on the scarifier and locks. i'm impressed. one of my fave things about capitain kleeman is the upbeat attitude - makes my day.

Thanks for watching Gayle!
Cannot wait to see you use this on the property, tools are a man's best friend....
Hope it holds!
SCAFFIRE is how we pronounce it here in western n.c. have a great day.

That's awesome Jason. I hope to have my oldest out this summer and work with her on it.
Couldn't "get 'r done" without that torch! Not having to deal with bits and hole saws on that thick of metal is what would put a smile on my face🙂
The torch is definitely a game changer!
Amazing what a guy can do with a welder, cutting torch and a grinder. Good job
Thank you!
Hey Captain Great to see you getting the viewers involved . Hold this for me LOL
Thanks it made my day
We are all in this together lol
A guys fabrication skills are coming along nicely.
You're the Bob Ross of homesteading🤔🤔♥️😁😁😁👑👑
WoW! You're raking up the views now, brother. Few are more deserving. And, this is a project that will be concerning me soon once I move out of the city and into the country here in Nevada. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I definitely like the conversational rational before the build.
Appreciate the feedback!
I like the way your new toy sings for us.
Another great one. The day you stop learning is the
day you don't see the sun.
Thanks Chris!
It's never how good of a wealthy you are it's how good of a grinder you are
Lol very true!
Captain you’re really getting the hang of it! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thank you Kevin
Your channel is awesome, just remember to go back and look at your old mad mud dabber welds and those were the days.
Always good to look back where we came from!
Great job Mike, I love how you built the majority of it out of repurposed material.
You're a welding/fabricator genius. MBTS got nuthin on you!
Outstanding! Welds work, that's all that matters.
Thanks Rick!
Getting better all the time. I love the commentary. Thankfully we're here, so you're not talking to yourself. People might think you're crazy! 🤔
Exactly! Lol
Hi Captain, just like Mike your able to make just about anything!
Lookin good Capt.! Practice Practice Practice, that's how you build a skill-
Thanks Kurt!
Love family time... Project is coming together. Rock on Mike
Thanks Bill!
😃
Awesome work Mike, and your welding is looking awesome. C U on the next one take care and stay safe and warm god bless.
Thank you sir!

Blessings Captain! Keep Shining On!
Thanks Roy!
Great job, awesome MacGyvering
Thanks Todd!
That is awesome Mike your welding is coming along nicely torch work not to bad ether 🏴👍
Thank you!
You are a quick learner on the welding,those welds look good to me.
Thank you!
Much better summary. Good job teaching yourself.
My father learned to gas weld using steels cans and welding them end to end. He said everything else seemed easy after that.
Dang that's awesome!
use a "cutting torch" to do the gas welds, the skill needed to avoid blowing through any thickness of metal pays off when using a welding tip.
Yep, I’m still loving that lens for the torch/welder shots!
Thanks Jeff!
Looking great Captain keep em coming.
Thanks Danny!
I like your way of using a ratchet strap and torch to bend the steel.
Thanks Kevin!
You are rocking the stick nice looking welds practice make perfect 👍
Thanks Alan!
Your imagination is great,
I wonder does it keep you awake at night?
Awesome,,, thank you
Sleeping can be tough sometimes!
Very good! Thank you for this project.
Thanks for watching David!
Weer een geweldig 💡 idee om van schroot ijzer iets moois te maken. Geweldig gedaan top job 🤩👍👌
Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼
Your positive attitude Mike is absolutely amazing sometimes I really wish I could be as positive as you are sometimes
Thanks Robert! Keep your head up
Looking good so far!!!! 👍
Thank you!
Fantastic video. Loved the snow work. Very clever thinker and builder. Goes to show one must protect the eyes and skin. Now to see it do the job which it sure will.
Can't wait to try it out!
Nice job on that Road Drag Land plane what ever you want to call it! Looks pretty good👍👍🛠🛠💪💪👊👊
Thank you!
Looking good. Fasten your seat belt and go . Good video.
Thanks mike!
Very cool, awesome to see you progress. Thanks for taking us along! I made sure to have my safety googles on for close up work.
Boom! At least we have some responsible subscribers using their PPE
Great video as always. I really like the fact that you don't mind showing your learning process including your errors sometimes, it makes it very educationnal and authentic!
Thanks!
Great job on the fabrication! Thank you, sir for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Your doing it, so you will get there. The welding is looking better every time.
Thank you David!
Glad to see you have some appropriate metal working tools Mr must make life simpler ! Good work btw
Thanks Derek!
Your welds are looking a lot better!! Lookin Good!!👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks Don

Thank you!
That's some nice shadetree cobulation Lt. Mike. Looking forward to the test run.
Me too!
I love that you build ideas and no plans. That's what I have always done too. Great work!
Plans are for laughing at!
Good video,keep doing what your doing.nice working condition.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thanks Tom!
Nice welding, you coming along well 😀 😉 Keep it going.
It looks GREAT! And it makes scary sci-fi movie sound effects! . Well done sir!
Lol thanks Tim!
Looking good, U have some great ideas. Have fun
Thank you sir!
That's cool Cap. Can't wait to see it in action. Nice job.
Thank you!
welds have got lots better .practice. good job
Great job
Thanks!
You are having to much fun with your builds, I am so jealous . You are doing a fantastic job. Great video, Love watching. Great job !
Thanks Andy!

Good job! I remember when you where going to try and buy one.
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Don!
Hi Hi Captain good morning from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲. Let's go have some fun 😀😀
Good morning Lloyd!
@@CaptainKleeman Ha Captain. Thank you
The way you swung the hammer from both sides makes me think you could be a switch hitter playing baseball.
Enjoy following you in your adventures, thnks!
Thanks Mike!
Good job Mike. Keep wary of that ground in wet weather. Itll light you up.
Your workshop looks like mine...good job working with what you have.
It should do what needs to be done it looks good
Thanks Richard!
Let the locking handle point down gravity will hold it in place...Great work!!
Then the stone would push it up
It's a beast !!!! Will definitely dig dirt that's for sure ** it will work just fine. Might have to tweek it a bit but will do great. Now make me one lol !!!!!
Lol thanks Mark!
Not bad Captain, your skills are growing along with the necessary tools to build the empire 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Max!
Very nice weld on that l beam ! !

A + on your improvement on your welding
Thanks Gary
Just keep practicing and one of these days you'll be like Man Behind Scene!
N I C E Mike, there are some great little innovations in/on that road thingy. Can't wait for PART 2
Thanks Brent!

Yup, met him a couple years ago, great channel!
Nice mike! Your employing! Can't wait too see it in action
Thanks Sean!
Good morning Mike! Are you ready for the "Ice-pocalypse" !?!?! Lol......Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!
Hoping it's not as bad as they say! Be safe!
Nice. You make my Day^^ I think you design the videos really well. Very entertaining. It's fun to watch. Greetings from Germany
Thank you!
Snow day?
it doesn't look like a lot on camera, but It was almost a whole inch!
@@CaptainKleeman Well as long as you survived!
I like your design and want to see how good that it actually works .
Hopefully we will be testing it soon!
Really looking great man!!
Thank you!

So refreshing to see someone work the same way I do lol about to build one of these myself. Good work
Thank you!
Captain, you're doing fine learning as you go. I like your shop. Lol
I.C. welds is a really good source on using a cutting torch. His welding is very informative.
He has an awesome channel!
Hello sir. I saw an old IH tractor there. I like old tractors.
My old Volvo T22 also has 22 hp, but it is from 1949.
Welds are getting much more dime like and the fabrication is solid. Weld penetration is the key. Continuous welds are stronger due to the minimizing of porosity and contamination.
Thank you Sean! Starting to get a little more comfortable with the weld patterns and maintaining the puddle
Nice work captain. You welds are getting much better.
Thank you!
Very good job!
Thanks James!
welds are looking good
Thanks Thomas!
Great job !!!!
Thank you
Your doing a good job you will get the hang of it. Your learning more this way then have some one tell you how to. Some time pretty welds don’t hold crap
Thanks Ron!
Great job CK however i think your shop could use a picnic umbrella lol
Hey that would be nice!
Looks great! Really creative way to deploy those scarifiers. You're going to have to paint this and add some "Kleeman Implements" stickers to it.
Definitely!
