- For the first time in a while, we had a more chilled week in the shop! Mostly playing catchup from the last 4 months of near pure MEGADRILL mania.
In this video we will be:
Making Jack Leg Clamps
Milling out a huge lifting bell
Checking out the new HTS DRILL
Fixing a 1000lb lathe chuck…
And just having a bunch of fun doing it! It’s all the random little stuff that keeps us from ever getting bored.

The positive way you spoke of your coworkers brought true joy to my heart. I have worked in so many toxic environments that your kind words were like a cool drink of water on a blistering hot day.
Cheers mate! Yeah, I’m very grateful for a genuinely good, very hardworking team.
Makes the days way more fun when you don’t have to deal with toxic people.
They’re gone outta here FAST.
“ain’t nobody got time for that” 🤣
Agree ❤
I appreciate that your company lets you take the time to film everything in such detail! This isn't like a company that can use it for advertising, they're not selling themselves as a machine shop or to anyone watching these videos so it says a lot about them letting you do something you clearly love
Yeah mate, we are just doing what we do - and thought there would be people out there who might appreciate it too. All for a bit of fun 🤣👊
Props to Kurtis. Thrilled to hear that. Kurtis is amazing.
He does a bloody good job.
Thanks for a look into a world that most of us will never see. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Appreciate the kind words mate!
Just a note of thanks for reference to SAE sizes. Sometimes it’s the small things that brings viewers like me back to a channel. Appreciated.
Cheers mate. Good to know 👊
Give the young man an encouraging tap on the sholder from us, Matt. Most people would stress out by fear to scrap an expensive part like that. But he just goes for it.
He does a great job. We all make mistakes 🤣
I’m the worst offender by far
I used to work in the oil field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico on drill rigs (Ultra Deep Water Semi Submersible 7000-10,000 foot water depth, 30,000-40,000 foot well depth from sea floor) and what you are fabbing up is just amazing! The size bits that you are working with just floors me! The largest well head we drilled was 36 inches. That 3 and 5 meter drill head is just unbelievable! Great job and video! Keep up the great work! Also, glad you did a shout out to Kurtis at CEE for the V blocks! I like that you shared about your coworkers, what they are doing and even giving credit to them. I also like that you are helping the youngsters get started in the business! Keep up the great work and see you next week!
Cheers Frank!
I’ve always wanted to go on a big offshore rig and see how they work firsthand. Those things DWARF everything we do as far as rig size goes.
I’m not sure… but I THINK these rods we are making are about as big as it gets?? They’re over a foot in diameter and weigh a metric ton (and a bit) when fully assembled.
I think the largest offshore rods they use are 8 5/8 REG?
Maybe you know?
Yeah, Kurtis comes up with some bloody useful stuff that we regularly recreate in the shop.
A bloody genuine at what he does.
Beautiful projects. I've been watching CEE for years and this video just popped up in my feed. Loved seeing the jobs and quality.
Cheers mate! Appreciate the kind feedback 👊
It never ceases to amaze me how you calculate the dimensions needed and how your machines just cut through the thickest of metals.
Cheers mate. It’s all pretty simple once you get a basic grasp of it all.
Odd jobs like this keep it all interesting for us in the shop.
@@halheavyduty Thank you.
🙏👊
Heavy duty dentistry with those borers, great stuff to watch, All the best, Al
Cheers Al!
Not only in pay cheques but also generations of experience,your grand dad , father and yourself will never be lost , this is what makes this country great,thanks HAL can’t wait to see the drill in operation.🇦🇺👍🍺
Cheers brother! Yep, it’s gonna be a heck of a setup out in the field.
17 semi trailer loads!
I need tickets to the real deal! Would love to see that with my very own eyes! Cheers Matt! Loving the show!
Cheers mate! I’ll make sure everyone gets a full ringside seat when we send this bad boy all the way 👊👊
@ I am so looking forward to seeing a hole in the ground big enough to drop the drill rig into!
It’s gonna be epic 💯
Awesome presentation Matt.... you should be on TV. Now that's a thought your own TV series!
Thanks for the very kind feedback. The little channel just keeps growing!
Appreciate the support 👊👊
Great video. Awesome to see a young man interested in the trades. When I was his age I was running WWII-era Browne & Sharpe automatic screw machines (this was in the early 80s). Put 10 years into machining, then moved into engineering. It cannot be overstated how much my machining experience has helped my engineering career!
Oh wow! That’s awesome mate. Yeah, I imagine all that hands on experience would have been invaluable as an engineer.
Some of the drawings we get through here are from people who have CLEARLY never seen a lathe before 🤣
I've been back all the way to the beginning of this project. Wow the work, and progress is amazing. As well with the video skills. Cool projects in today's video. Thanks for sharing your work, I look forward to every Friday! I feel like I'm watching 👀 the history channel, but better. The narrator in this bit actually knows how to explain how it's made.
Thanks mate! Appreciate the kind feedback. I’m glad the quality is steadily improving over time too.
It’s been a mission to figure it all out 🤣
Kudos to the boilermakers, excellent work on the chuck!
💯👊
This channel is fantastic. Excellent attitude and the level of professionalism is great. Enjoy the day👍👍
Hey thanks so much for the kind words mate. Much appreciated.
Great video as usual Matt, you're killing it when it comes to creating interesting content.
Great to see a couple of young blokes becoming very skilled in metal trades too.
Cheers Peter!
Great work as usual. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
Awesome! Hope they got a kick out of it 😎
I appreciate the commentary with the little tips and the explanation of what you guys use like for the rust prevention. Thanks.
Most welcome mate! Yeah, that stuff is legit gold. Need to get more info for everyone.
Great video Matt . Cheers 👍👍👍
Cheers Max!
Another lovely dose of heavy engineering and a lovely repair on the rear mounted 4-jaw chuck
Cheers Paul. 👊👊
Ohhh happy Friday. Good to see young guys being taught and praised in the workplace, they are the future. Have a good weekend from a wet and stormy Isle of Skye.
Nice! The Isle of Skye. Enjoy the wet weather. We need some rain here 🙏👊
@@halheavyduty I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, we have certainly had enough to share a bit, snow is now forecasted
Great work by all involved; thank you as always for taking us along.
Most welcome Jim. Really appreciate everyone’s amazing support along the way. It’s truly humbling for a little machine shop in the middle of nowhere 🙏👊
You are a true leader. Giving credit to your team and lifting them up. Great stuff.
Cheers mate. These guys are fantastic to work with.
Awesome video from one machinists to another your guys and apprentices are super skilled. Keep them rolling
Cheers mate!
Another informative video Matt keep up the good work.
Cheers good sir
Glad you all have an apprentice, the work you're doing will keep young machinists in paychecks for a long time!
Always gotta find and raise up the next generation. Young Willy is bloody fantastic.
Like it , i injoyed it .
I will be back .
Watching you bore those threads off in the beginning is how I envision what would happen if I were to just try to cut threads.🤪
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cool beans. Thanks!
Hi Matt, I remember back in the day having to cut ACME threads in 2 steps, using a grooving tool to rough out and a hand ground form tool for the ACME form. My favourite though, was a 300mm diameter Buttress internal thread on a horizontal borer, great fun (NOT), all hand ground tools and shop made gauges ( 900 off). Them were the days. Best wishes, Mal.
I’m pretty sure that’s how Hal (grandad) had to do them too!
Some serious skill involved in the early days before all the pre-fab carbide inserts became widespread!
Love it Mal.
@@halheavyduty Yep, sounds like you have some really good apprentices to carry on with your grandads good work. Just as a nasty test get them to cut an external ACME thread using their own hand ground tools and then get them to make it fit in a female nut. Oh the fun you will have. lol
🤣🤣🤣
We actually get them to run machines without using a DRO. Good to learn the old school way
We have these wasp here, we call em mud dobbers,, central USA, they are literally everywhere, if u have something stored, or a building they are in it or on it, love the work bro,
They are relentless here. Glad we’re not the only ones who have to deal with the little buggers.
It's nice to see that young man taking an interest in machining. Most people his age are only interested in their social media presence...
Another great video Matt!!!
Cheers Alan. He’s a bloody winner hey. Never, and I mean NEVER have I seen him on his phone.
Kid was raised right!
My dude…..what an awesome episode and “edit”..!!! Love the way you added in the “ending” parts in the beginning. It made watching the machining so much more engaging.
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it. Trying real hard to create quality vids 👊
@ I know all too well the work that goes into making vids for YT, and your changes are sooo worth the effort you’re putting into it. Thanks for sharing your passion and your talents with the world.
👊🙏💯
Skilled boilermaker is an understatement. I was blown away with the chuck repair. How long did he end up working on that job?
He just knocked it out in a few hours. Man has some serious skill
Great video this week Matt. Here in the U.S. we have the same type of wasps called "Mud Daubers" and they go into places that boggle the mind especially out here in the country and we are constantly battling them. Thank you for the content.
Always welcome brother! Yep… bloody mud wasps get into the most unimaginable places
I am a great admirer of metal cutting machines, and have a set up of my own with turning milling jig boring machines and love to work on all these beauties whenever I find an opportunity.
In fact I have become a regular turner of late as one of my guys quit without notice 😂
I feel you good sir!
Mud wasps and march flies😮 Welcome to Queensland. Have a nice day!
Cheers, Preso
💯💯💯
The March flies were brutal this year. Little shits
We call them dirt dobbers here.
WOW, it's been a LONG time since I subbed to a channel after watching just 1 video. I've been subbed to CEE for over 2 years now and as I remember, I didn't sub to him right away, but you sold me in the last minute when you said you'll show the drilling action. I used to work on smaller NG rigs in the northeast USA R&I blowout preventers and am generally familiar with the functionality of everything inbvolved, but never actually seen any of it in action.
Oh that’s great mate. And thanks for subbing too.
We’re not far off seeing the big rig now. A couple of weeks. Max.
We are also going to show some of the others in action during the course of the year as well.
The rig we use to drill water wells in the great artesian basin is an insane setup. Holes over 1km deep. It’s a full convoy of gear and the driller that runs it is an absolute pro
Impressive machining Hal, and guys, yes, Kurtis (CEE) did a great job on the tenon vee blocks, just saw the Japanese meter dials, and clocked why it's named Godzilla, brilliant, love it.
Some serious cogging out of material on those lifting clevises, those larger, 50mm plus sound terrible on bridgeport type millis, ref gearing system.
Great vlog, thanks for sharing.
Most welcome mate! Thanks for tuning in 👊
Hi Matt, another good video, well done. I used to love those sorts of jobs where you need to measure an thread etc and make the component to fit. In shipping, where I served my apprenticeship as a fitter and turner, we often had to go to a ship and detail a job then back to the shop to make it and the fitters would fit it. All very good experience when I think back. Now I will put on my Seco Tools hat and comment on the milling part. Its always good advice when using coolant on milling cutters to either flood it or take it off altogether. If the cutter gets a poor flow of coolant onto it the inserts could suffer from thermal cracking. What this means is during the cut, if we just take one insert, it will heat up and when it exits the cut the chip will fly off leaving an exposed hot corner and when it gets the coolant on it it cools it rapidly and this is what cause thermal cracking. Its alway best when using coolant on milling applications to flood it or turn it off altogether. I hope this all make sense but if you take a few minutes and look at some old milling inserts under a magnifying glass you may see what I mean. Cheers Ian (now on holiday in Fiji for 3 weeks)
It’s really enjoyable when you get to design, machine & fit a part! So satisfying.
Thanks for the tip re coolant on the mill. If we decided to try machine, are there any major downsides?
I’m guessing the inserts won’t last as long.
Have a blast in Fiji!
@@halheavyduty Hi Matt, I am not quite sure what you mean by try to machine, are there any down side? Maybe as a test run, where you have a number of the same parts to machine with decent cutting times, do one with coolant on and take the inserts out, then do another with new edges and then compare the two to see if there is any thermal cracking on the inserts used with coolant. It maybe different if you need to keep the job cool as ths then throws a different light on things, so then maybe flood coolant is the answer. You should also check the chip load/chip thickness per insert as it needs to larger than the size of the edge hone otherwise the cutting process is taking place on this small radius right on the cutting edge which puts a lot of extra load on things. I don't have my catalogues here with me otherwise I would give you the formulae to calculate Feed Per Tooth which relates to Table Feed per minute. Hope this all make sense once again. Cheers Ian
Nice repair on that chuck. Glad it didn’t end up in the bin.
Me too!
Where I grew up in the middle part of the US we have similar wasp we call a mud dauber. Nasty little things that clog up any appropriately sized opening they find. Nice video!
They’re relentless! Any hole’s a goal for those little critters
That is some great products that your team makes. Love the effort and the content.
Cheers Craig! Thanks for tuning in mate
Great to see young folk wanting to be involved in engineering, mind you its probably down to the mentoring they get, which is all credit to you. Whats that old saying if you love the work you do, you'll never work a day in your lif. I presume your Grandad, Dad and you all feel the same way. A 5 metre drill, that is going to be impressive and have no doubt you'll deliver. 👍
Cheers mate! Yeah, when we find the right fit (person wise) we work really hard with them to make sure they do the best they're capable of. Very lucky to have such a good team here.
Ha Matt that chuck repair was fantastic you have some skilled tradies up there.
He did a bloody good job in my opinion. I love it when you give a job to someone (and it’s way outside your personal skill set) and they come back with such a pro result!
Very grateful to work along such a crew of insanely skilled men in a wide variety of trades.
Hey Matt. Wow, what a great video! Production values just keep getting better and better! That repair on that chuck was very impressive! I imagine the balance shouldn't be too far off. You can check the same way they do airplane props. I won't try and explain it, but there is a young woman who makes wooden props on RUclips and it's great to watch her make them from scratch. Her channel is Culver Props and you can see what I mean about balancing by watching her. It's a great channel to watch (she is kinda easy on the eyes too!) She is carrying on her father's legacy, she really knows what she is doing. Anyways, I really enjoyed this video. The content was great, and it had good flow. That little face mill is amazing! Never thought a 2 or 3 insert could do that on high carbon steel, very cool. I could watch that again! Just one thing that I would mention is having a camera shot stay in the same viewpoint for too long can loose your audience. Kinda like a drill bit dwelling in one spot, not good. I'm not saying you did it this video, but it was close a couple times. I know it's a pain to move the camera a lot especially if your trying to get work done, but the audience loves different viewpoints. Adam Booth @ ABOM79is really good at that if you wanted to see a good example. Now there are times when extended length shots with the same viewpoint can work, you just want to be mindful of that. I didn't know you were a fellow southpaw by the way, that's cool. Bet your dad or your grandpa was as well, like my dad. Lucky to still have my dad around, still working at age 84. We have a family business as well in the asphalt paving business and dirt work too but mostly asphalt. Started his business in 1961 before I was born (1969). Keep up the good work, your improving quickly, your channel is going to be huge if you keep it up! Thanks for the great video Matt! See you in the next one. Friends and family call me EZE. Cheers from Phoenix Arizona.
Cheers EZE! Appreciate the suggestions too. Agree re over extended camera shots… it’s a very VERY fine line.
Off to to check out the propellor channel, and rewatch some of Abom79s work.
So many good channels out there! Thanks again for the extended comment. Means a lot mate. Very helpful
Lots of cool stuff Matt, Great content! I never put new buttons in a drill bit but I laid lots of Kutrite (Tungsten Carbide). Used it a lot for down hole mills (downhole fishing to mill pipe or casing before using an overshot or spear) and drill string stabilizer blades to prevent wear. I thought it looked easy and on my first one it took forever to grind! An old Lodge and Shipley lathe with a Chevy 4 speed granny tranny on top turned into a big ass grinder!
I would love to see that machine.
No pics but they mounted a 4 speed from a 3/4 or 1 ton chevy truck on top of the head stock and it belt drove the spindle. Then of course a large electric motor drove the tranny. The factory gear box ran the lead screw for the carriage. On the cross slide was a huge motor and grinding wheel. I would guess this old lathe was probably a 28-30ish" hollow spindle lathe and a good 12-14' long. Heavy ass iron, lots of wear, but worked good for what it did. It was a great oil field lathe once upon a time!
That sounds like one heck of a grinder! 👊👊
Gday from West Oz 🍺 came to your channel via CEE and as a blast hole / expo / ug driller love watching how you do it, love your demeanour respect for your team and the channel. Cheers cobber and well done. 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Cheers brother! Appreciate the kind feedback mate.
Well g'day Matt, it must be 5.00am Friday morning, because here we are again with another great video, far out work mate, thanks for sharing, have a great one
Hey Ralfy! Cheers for the encouragement as always mate. Glad you enjoyed it 👊
interesting stuff and presentation. chuck repair came out nice. dog is happy. that is one hell of a band saw. like the bass heavy intro music.
Cheers brother!
Hi. Matt
Once again a great video.
Great to see you have a great apprentice.
Having once owned my own business finding an apprentice that was interested is hard. I was in the truck and car smash repair industry as a panel beater I am retired now and have always been interested in machining So now have my own small machine shop at home love cutting threads.
Regards
Greg
NSW
That’s great that you’ve got a home shop! Endless fun to be had tinkering away.
That would be fantastic to see it in action That massive drill bit 🍻
It’s coming, I guarantee you 👊
Ive been watching CEE for some year to so it was nice to find this guy doing the same type of excellent work
Thanks mate. Much appreciated.
the great uncle was a driller back in the 80s he bought a couple reco bits and that was about 20 grand worth of tool heads. so yeah it makes sense to keep reconditiong them
They’re bloody expensive hey!
I’m a newb to your channel. Found it in CEE’s watch list & wondered over for a squz. You goys do some amazing stuff. Really looking forward to seeing what’s coming. 👍
Cheers mate! Thank you 👊🙏
Oooh odd jobs, very interested! Quite the operation yall got going on down there! 👌🤙🏻🤘🏻😎
👊🙏
A great vid again ,very much enjoyed the differnt views on what is going on in the work shop, and the encouragment and praise of your talented workers, so important to get the best pro jobs done by happy praised staff,wish it was like that when i started work so long ago, best i got was a kick in the ass,ha ha not really seemed like it at 14 , your doing a great job :)
Cheers mate! I try to be a mix of regular encouragement and high standards. We’ve got a magic little team and I’m very grateful for each of them.
Excellent work young Will!
If your saw is regularly wandering you may need to replace the carbide blade guides. I had to do the same on a similar saw at one of the shops I worked in for the same reason. Thanks for another great video and for being a fantastic roll model for the next generation of machinists.
Cheers mate! We’ve got a great little crew and Willy is just knocking it out of the ball park.
Absolutely awesome 😊
👊🙏
Nice work. I found it interesting that the steel rule you used in the beginning of the video was metric but marked 1/2 at the .5 mm mark. A mixture of metric and imperial on the mm scale.
I apologize for the long winded comment earlier Matt. Very cool video, geeat content great flow. This channel is going to be huge! Just keep it up brother. Thanks for the great video! Cheers from Phoenix Arizona.
Thanks brother. Really appreciate your encouragement and feedback all the way.
It’s super helpful 👊
Love the work the boilermaker did, buy that man a drink!
👊💯
Brilliant! Really enjoying the channel.
Cheers mate!
Oh yeah, we have those here in Texas.
We call them “Dirt Dobbers”. They get in everything.
Rascals
Can’t wait to see this rig in action!
Me too!
Great work as always! You've been a real inspiration to me. I'm going to post our first video next week. You genuinely have some of the best content I've seen
Awesome mate! Good luck with your first video! I’ll tune in for sure. What’s the channel link?
@halheavyduty it'll be this channel I'm commenting from. Renamed it the other night.
@halheavyduty also appreciate it! Really been a big fan of yours. Can honestly say I wouldn't have tried it otherwise
Just subbed to the channel. Looking forward to seeing what you post.
Just go for it and have some fun 👊🙏
@halheavyduty well thank you, I sure appreciate it!
love a big star delta motor starter. used to have some huge blower fans on farm, always loved the wiry build up!. not got mud wasps in uk, luckily by the sound of it, we do have something lot more irritating thought, a labour prime minister 🤣🤣🤣
Dude that guy is embarrassing 🤣
Almost as manly as ours. 🤦♂️🤣
I call em’ “mud dobbers”. Pretty neat looking. Imposing but harmless. They love the little nooks and cranny’s don’t they?! Midwest U.S.A. ✌️
Dude they’re relentless. “any hole’s a goal” for those little flying concrete machines
Definitely some great content and as always thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate! Most welcome
Yes we have them here in the US , in most if not all the states. By the way I like your beard. Mine was red and full but not for years
Hopefully the colour holds up. Pretty grey and bald on the top these days 🤣👊
@halheavyduty I'm almost 73 and I have almost no gray except for my beard.Total gray out.
Here in Eastern Tennessee we call them dirt daubers. I feel like I cheated on Kurtis and Karen this week because I watched your video first. Lol. Love the content, and I must say you explain things very well. See you next week.
Cheers mate! Appreciate the feedback. Still pretty new to it all but having a blast.
The comments are my fav part. It’s nice to connect with people who share my love for making cool stuff!
Bloody mud wasps… they get around clearly!
Great voice over! Thanks HAL! and 5m drill?? holy...
I think they’re having me on 🤣🤣
But I’m never sure 😳
What a cool video. I can relate but that is big stuff. No optical comparator to look at the threads 😂❤
Cheers mate! My optical comparator seems to be getting less focused as time goes on 🤓🤣
Hypnotic some of this work, trouble is I can't stand the stink of cutting oil any more !
💯👊🤣
So now I’m addicted to two Oz workshops, vastly different scale of work but both are artisans.
Cheers mate!
Got mud wasps here in the USA as well ... I have seen them everywhere from northwest (Washington state), to southwest (Arizona), to southeast (Florida), to north-central (South Dakota). I have never been to the northeast, but I'd bet that they have them there, too.
Relentless little critters!
Great video.
Cheers Mate!
Here in the states, when I was younger, those mud wasps, we called them mud daubbers.
Little sneaky devils they are
Great video buddy
Thanks mate! Just ran that new 63MM HTS and it’s bloody awesome.
It’ll be up next week. Ballistic swarf removal.
@ you really inspire me lately I’ve been self doubting as sales take a downturn so thanks
I think it’s actually pretty tough in the market to be honest - and no reflection of you.
Personally I rate you a 10/10 for the service and help you give me mate.
Very grateful. Especially helping me learn all the nitty gritty stuff about inserts that’s way above and beyond just being a salesman.
We have mud wasps here in Québec but luckily they can only survive for about 4 months of the year due to the weather.
God bless the cold
Here in the North East of the US we have these bugs called dirt daubers. It's a mud wasp of some sort. They build their mud nests inside of bores. Bolt holes, small dia hydraulic lines left open for any amount not in a closed building etc... air fittings you name it. anything you leave outside is subject to these little buggars. It's more of a pain in the ass than anything. but they can clog up air lines or contaminate a Hydraulic system if you don't check for them and clean the little nest out.
That’s the ones! Yep.
Any hole is a goal 💯🤣🐝
Mud wasps exist in many places. Some fill every little hole exposed to make little homes for the newborns to grow up in.
Every. Single. Hole. 💯
In the Ozarks we call them mud dobbers. I don't know if your mud waspers are the same, but mud dobbers catch brown recluse spiders, paralyze them, and put them into the nest to feed their babies.
The old timers would take old nests, bust them up, throw out the biomatter and big chunks, grind the rest to fine powder and use it to dry out and heal a wet rash like diaper rash or heat rash.
Oh wow! That’s cool. Never heard of that before
Yes, we have mud rasp or in Wyoming USA dirt dobber. As an electrician, they are everywhere
Relentless little rascals. Any hole’s a goal for the ones over here!
In retrospect using the method to balance that huge heavy chuck like they do wooden props is a little hard to do given the weight, but using the method you use for balancing grinding wheels would be more appropriate. But honestly, given the quality of the repair on that chuck, i wouldn't sweat it unless you think it might need it. Sticking a shaft through the bore and setting up some level saw horses should be a quick and dirty way to check the chucks balance. I do say some stupid stuff from time to time. The wooden prop channel Culver Props is an interesting channel though . Some videos are better than others. The three part series on the prop for the Sopwith Camel is a good set to watch as it covers most things if memory serves me correctly. Cheers mate, thanks for the kind reply. No need for one here though.
I like her video style. It’s good to see all the different niche channels out there! Thanks for the recommendation 👊
Here in Alabama we call them dirt daubers and you are correct they are a pain in the backside.
They’re bloody relentless over here! Any hole’s a goal!
love the vids , good luck with all your endeavors
yes we have mud daubers in west kentucky here, they love to destroy radiators ,..
when built between them and the fan when started , punch a fist sized hole thru them
and when built on carbs too
I dunno how wasp spit and kentucky clay makes concrete , but it does
Mike
They’re relentless!
Mud wasp life motto…
“Any Holes a goal”
@@halheavyduty YEP ,... took off a lawn mower fuel line to blow out the tank for contaminants did so went in to make and eat half a sandwich , 8 minutes and one had already clogged up the hose end hanging from the fuel tank,.....but on a positive note , every section of nest here in the states they paralize and insert one or more invasive venomous ,brown recluse spiders !,..ha hah !
Bloody hell!
Yes we have “mud wasps” over here in San Angelo, texas. We call them mud dobbers. Over here they eat spiders and literally build their nests inside and on everything. But if you get rid of the spiders you get rid of the dobbers.
Happy to see both go 🤣👊
We’ve got a truckload of big bloody spiders over here
Enjoying your videos! Like your attitude! Subbed ya!
Cheers brother!
In kiwi land we call the mason bees. Just a big pain where they get into.
Hi watching that mill cutter omg I used to work in engineering part time and loved using what the called a team cutter ,10 /12 mill each cut machine gun bababava
It just sounds like a mini gun when it’s going full speed at a 10mm cut!
Never gets old
Love the coin pusher machines,
Get me every time
4:47 - the mud wasps love to make that same patch of mud “structure” (with their next generation within) on the mortar joints of the stone face on my house in Pennsylvania USA. So they are in other countries, maybe not exactly the same species but close enough.
Little rascals get EVERYWHERE over here!
nice work
Thanks brother 👊
Glad I made my way over from CEE, these projects you have are massive. Makes me wonder if you are just drilling this hole so that Red Bull can do some kind of extreme sport inside it.
You might be onto something brother 👊🤣
Just about gave up on the human race, and then I got a couple of good apprentices for a change. Faith restored hallelujah 🤩👍👏. I loved going to work again. They turned out great 😊.
It makes a big difference hey!
Buddy the shepherd goes on walkabout, like our bad girl ridgeback used to do.
He’s an escape artist. I’m deadset certain he just loves the challenge
@@halheavyduty You know the saying "A bored dog will find something to do, and you won't like it!" Dogs are so much smarter than people really understand, and a lot of their world involves 'work'. In the truest sense of the word. Because that is their nature as pack predators, each member has specific jobs they are supposed to do, for the pack. They will find work in the oddest (to us, at least) things. A dog that stands guard around a hole because 4 months ago he saw a roach run into that hole, so now he camps by the hole to kill that damn bug for hours every day. In their mind, that became the job, and they were going to see it through.
Not to be a downer, but just to prove my point about how important working is to dogs, look at search and rescue dogs, especially of natural disasters... In a mass casualty event, looking for trapped people buried in a building that collapsed, etc.. They will literally go into depression, and kill themselves, if they cannot find living people.
It is such an important thing to them, to find living people, that if they only find corpses, it will cause their death. Because dogs are smart, and make huge connections (even abstract connections for subjective truth, that may not be true in the objective sense to US, but true non the less).. where they only find corpses, so to their little doggie-mind, they believe it is their fault. That they're a bad dog. Maybe even that they are causing the death themselves by not doing a good enough job.
Other rescue workers will lay in rubble and other people bury them under dirt and concrete, so the dog can find a living person, and then EVERYONE gives the dog massive amounts of pets and yelling their name and celebrating their find! Because if they go too long.. it kills them. That is how important 'work' is. Or an owner that is sick that they take care of, who then dies.. and they die of a broken heart just the same.
If a dog decides finding a way out of a fence is a job, or god forbid, a GAME.. you're fucked. They have infinite patience and a different view of the world than us, which lets them make jumps of logic that seem unbelievable to us, but they do, and they use that to their advantage!
