Thank you for the 1 min educational section at the start. As a land surveyor, i have no clue how lot of your stuff work, but with you dropping some info here and there i can slowly build up some knowledge to better understand the videos and why you do things your way. Great stuff!
Thanks for the information on the air arc gouging Ollie, I wondered how it worked, I thought that the rod was hollow and the air went through it before you explained. 👍
Oliver, I love these odd job videos. With my short attention span, it keeps my mind focus. Thanks for the little tid bits and info how how and why you do things. Cheers from Sydney 🇦🇺
Nice description of how metal arc gouging works. I had worked that out some time ago, but not the details that you showed with the three holes for the air.
Re: arc gouging. You're doing great! Aim a blast of air at a puddle. Splashes everywhere. Nobody, even the top pros, can be precise where it splashes. Kurtis at CEE has got it controlled a little by fine tuning the arc but it still makes a mess. The best that can be suggested is use the smallest rod that gets the job done and practice your own techniques. Angle, distance, create your own comfort zone. What finds the separation line with minimum splash and mess, The best I've seen is a guy who finds the separation then gets close and lets the grinder get down to it.
Thanks for explaining the air arc, I wondered how the air got to the end of the rod. That bucket has seen better days, the original build was poor and not up to your standard. Thanks for sharing this weeks work job. Brian from South Yorkshire.
I too enjoy the air arc work. Two other YT channels are @ICWeld and @OFW. They both do a lot of heavy machinery gas torch cutting, air arc cutting and welding, mostly in the field. You will surely enjoy them as well.
Hi Oliver, great vid. How you can say, with a straight face "Just an ordinary weld,nothing fancy!" I can only dream of getting a weld that perfect! Looking forward to next week's offering!🙂
Good morning, Oliver. Nice job. No half-ass jobs from your shop and I respect that a lot. Hope you score on that TLT-30D you found at the equipment auction. Have a great week mate and see you next Sunday. Cheers.
I think you did the gouging very well. I watched somebody else that had gouging tip for their plasma cutter and that worked pretty well as an alternative.
Really impressed you wear respirator, papr, goggles etc. wasnt a thing when i got trained. Watch your ears…mine ring a lot. Love content. You so thoughtful. Fun is always in figuring new stuff. Dont get stuck in rut.
Another good job - we have a small auger bucket with a knife at the end , that would never last 4 lots of brackets - who makes one with rollers - brilliant idea
I often wondered if it was possible to cut with electric, well not with a welding rod obviously, had not worked out how to move the welted metal on out of the way. All sorted now. Thanks for filming and bringing us along.
Re the issue with the aligning the brackets a cheap laser level would have come in handy (Heupar make some great ones at very reasonable price) It could come in handy for all sorts of jobs I reckon?
Great vidio, I wasn't aware air pressure was involved with the gouging rods, (thought it was the ferocity of the ark which did the trick) 67 n still learning! Keep up the the good work n tutorials 🙂👍
Great description on the arc gouging. I always assumed those rods were hollow and they were made of copper. Your gouging looks good to me. I love the single sledge hammer blow knocking the brackets off🤠
I think ohs made that bucket was like me that welding are really bad like my weddings 😅 I really love your welding skills I wish I would weld like and some other welding people I watch but I don't give up just keep practising one day I will get better.
Another awesome watch with me cupa tea that's a nice cut on those brackets saves alot of time on clean up ...that arc gouging is so simple but affective no blow back on ya cutting torch to worry about lol ...
See you been to Lidel for the digital angle protractor, I got a couple of those when they were on half price. Amazing for the price 👍 alot of people don’t realise the thought that goes into getting the crowd and dump angles right ( or not sometimes)
Great job Ollie! I always look forward to seeing your videos on Sunday morning with my coffee before the rest of the family gets up. The other plus for me is that I see equipment that I do not see in the USA. Keep up the amazing work and work safely my friend!
What you forgot to mention about arc gouging is that it is enjoyable to do. But if you aren't the one doing it, it is pure misery to be within 100 meters of someone doing it!
Hi Ollie that was a very clear explanation of arc gouging, thank you. Do you re-use many of steel parts that you remove from projects, or do they go to the scrapper? Cheers
Thanks for taking the time to make the video showing your daily work in the shop. That is one hoofin' great bucket compared to the tattie graips and neep champers we used when I was a lad !!
I cannot understand why manufacturers cannot come together and create a universal coupling for buckets and other attachments. Very much like what happened with tractors and the rear three point linkage system, which I believe, was something introduced by Harry-Ferguson and done by collaboration with David Brown (the Ferguson-Brown tractor) and then Harry Ferguson convincing Henry Ford to adopt the system and the Ford-Ferguson 9n tractor. It doesn't make sense that every manufacturer has its own proprietary system, Of course, it creates work for Snowball Engineering and that is good, but for the end-user, having to swap out brackets every time you buy a new telehandler by a different manufacturer is a bit ridiculous.
Lovely, another Snowball video and coffee. Going by the first couple of minutes, a question is, why don't they have standard fixings at the front of these machines? Another question Ollie, have you ever priced up for an increased 3 phase electrical supply to the workshop from Northern Powergrid and your electricity supplier?
Because they are made by different manufacturers and they will never agree a common standard without being forced too. iPhone charging connections are a good example.
Nicely done! But ye ol Forky McForkface is a wee bit soft on its left tire it seems to my eye at around 16:22. When You pick up the bucket the tires go flat- more than I´d be comfy with. It might take the edge off when You cart around stuff on the yard so I get why one would like his McForkface a wee bit soft. It just looks …wrong. I think Forkface wheels should witstand the weight and it´s up to the driver to tiptoe the throttle and hydraulics. I used to drive a Forkface, it was the most clapped out, run down thing in all of Germany but it …ran and wasn´t leaky so I got to like it. Brakes were shot so: be careful. I was and I never had a problem. Good stuff, Kind Regards
In future videos would you film some of the attachments working in the field for us who don't know the mechanics behind them. I've never heard of chopping beets for sheep.
Thank you for the 1 min educational section at the start. As a land surveyor, i have no clue how lot of your stuff work, but with you dropping some info here and there i can slowly build up some knowledge to better understand the videos and why you do things your way. Great stuff!
Yeah, I like that as well😎👌
Agreed!
It maybe a POS bucket, but it has outlived 4 different mounting set-ups. Thanks for bringing us along Oliver. Take care & stay safe.
Thanks for the information on the air arc gouging Ollie, I wondered how it worked, I thought that the rod was hollow and the air went through it before you explained. 👍
Thermal lancing works like that so you’re not totally wrong. Same kind of idea but used for a different purpose
I would love to be your wife or kids.
Never a raised voice or a harch word spoken.
A true gentleman at heart!
'Triggers bucket' ... Great video ..
Another brilliant repair, Ollie. Thanks for taking us along!
Love these oddball... I mean unique Snowball projects.
I like your comment Oliver, “we are not building a space ship” 😂😂😂😂
But you dont want it dropping from a Great Height 😢😢😢😢😢
Either 😂
Says the losers with emojis...
@@I_Am_Your_Problemwoah, you ok? Was your mother a spaceship or something? 😂
Great stuff as usual. Thanks for sharing. My Sunday mornings aren't complete without Snowball Engineering to watch.
Oliver, I love these odd job videos. With my short attention span, it keeps my mind focus. Thanks for the little tid bits and info how how and why you do things. Cheers from Sydney 🇦🇺
Arc air gouging is violent, loud and dirty work. I love it. It is sculpting.
It’s Sunday morning and another video. My week is complete. Thanks very much.

I didn’t know I was a fan of industrial music until I came to this channel and started looking at the transcript.
Hey Ollie, nice straight forward job. Bread and Butter. Great work. Thanks for sharing
Another valuable modification to keep your clients in business and saving them money rather than buying new.
another great show. thanks . i think you sell yourself short on your skill level. you are the best. see you next week.
Really impressed you wear respirator, papr, goggles etc. wasnt a thing when i got trained. Watch your ears…mine ring a lot. Love content. You so thoughtful. Fun is always in figuring new stuff. Dont get stuck in rut.

excellent video again. always amazed at your variety of projects and your ability to tackle any problem. many thanks.
Great welds. Dimes stacking as we say in the US.
I often wondered if it was possible to cut with electric, well not with a welding rod obviously, had not worked out how to move the welted metal on out of the way. All sorted now. Thanks for filming and bringing us along.
Nice looking welds!
Oliver great content,very interesting. Watching you at 1am. Don't want to miss anything. From West Texas.
As always, thank you Ollie for this beautifully filmed showing of your work. Your comments are invaluable and very informative. Have a good week.
Hiye.
Great job you done on that bucket.
I thought it was going to fall off the forklift when you were bringing it into the workshop 😂
Re the issue with the aligning the brackets a cheap laser level would have come in handy (Heupar make some great ones at very reasonable price) It could come in handy for all sorts of jobs I reckon?
Great video again! That kutavar is really useful ainnit! Welds looking noice!
Love the content Oliver. You could do with a laser level for working on these wonky buckets. Keep up the great work mate.
Great job on bucket brackets Oliver
I’ve done my share of arc gouging and I think you’ve done a heck of a good job!
Good job. You should be able to re-use the Merlo brackets.
Great vidio, I wasn't aware air pressure was involved with the gouging rods, (thought it was the ferocity of the ark which did the trick)
67 n still learning!
Keep up the the good work n tutorials 🙂👍
Great description on the arc gouging. I always assumed those rods were hollow and they were made of copper.
Your gouging looks good to me. I love the single sledge hammer blow knocking the brackets off🤠
Carbon sticks work very fast , great job then 💪💪💪
Howdy Oliver. Great video. Stay warm. Thank you for the video.
I think ohs made that bucket was like me that welding are really bad like my weddings 😅
I really love your welding skills I wish I would weld like and some other welding people I watch but I don't give up just keep practising one day I will get better.
another good job. well done explaining the gouger
Another awesome watch with me cupa tea that's a nice cut on those brackets saves alot of time on clean up ...that arc gouging is so simple but affective no blow back on ya cutting torch to worry about lol ...
If you get enough bread and butter jobs, they soon make a decent sandwich. And regular customers can be a God send.
That's actually a very good T-shirt quote.. 🤔😏
hey, Snow its going to be 31 here bendigo Vic. nice work and explanation on the bucket job.
Greetings from the oldest town in Texas, USA, Nacogdoches. Nice work.
Shit hole state full of a hole residents. Losers.
See you been to Lidel for the digital angle protractor, I got a couple of those when they were on half price. Amazing for the price 👍 alot of people don’t realise the thought that goes into getting the crowd and dump angles right ( or not sometimes)
1,774 👍's up SBE thank you for sharing 🤗
Excellent work as ever Oliver, thanks for sharing!
Excellent repair. Nice work on the angles.
Yeah that was a great little job. Did all right. New owner will be happy. She was in 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
They asked the right chap to sort out new brackets for the bucket, no doubt about that, in my opinion anyway.
Here's a good example what an advantage is to be a metal worker with experience into farming!
Morning Oliver, lovely stuff as always, cold snap coming next week, keep warm buddy, have a great one 👍
Great job Ollie! I always look forward to seeing your videos on Sunday morning with my coffee before the rest of the family gets up. The other plus for me is that I see equipment that I do not see in the USA. Keep up the amazing work and work safely my friend!
I like the odd job sessions. It's just cool watching what you do.
Excellent job man, great video, keep'um coming..
Beautiful welds!
These videos are educational and a pleasure to watch.
What you forgot to mention about arc gouging is that it is enjoyable to do. But if you aren't the one doing it, it is pure misery to be within 100 meters of someone doing it!
Hello Oliver, thanks for video, nice welding.
Keep up the good work, you Yorkshiremen are too tight to take holidays!
Remember when you fixed the front of that bucket, it was a right mess. You mean you hope you're never going to see it again. 😎 👍
You gave me the inspiration to start my own channel 🙂
Great little intro, now we know.
That CNC machine is paying for itself big style.
Hi Ollie that was a very clear explanation of arc gouging, thank you. Do you re-use many of steel parts that you remove from projects, or do they go to the scrapper?
Cheers
Olá amigo mais um trabalho perfeito!!!
lhes desejo sempre muita saúde e cada vez mais sucesso!!!
Love your work. Great video as usual.
Nice one Oliver! Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for taking the time to make the video showing your daily work in the shop. That is one hoofin' great bucket compared to the tattie graips and neep champers we used when I was a lad !!
Another awesome video, great work. Thank you Oliver
Excellent video its most interesting to see all this equipment. Please continue to explain how this amazing equipment works.
Great video 👍 When doing heavy gauge jobs do you then use fluxcore mig as i believe has a higher penetration and heat saturation 😊
love the kutavar cnc table way cool pice of equipment in your shopp.
Very good flame cut with minimal if any melting of the top edge. Might I suggest decreasing the fuel volume once the cut is going?
Always great videos 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

Nice job 👍
Great welding !
Excellent welding
Another job finished and a few more pounds in your pocket.
Great job.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼
I would really like for you to get an overhead crane for your shop to save you from some of that heavy lifting.
Tidy job Oliver ! Did you Get a destination set for your holidays yet ?
Great work as always, bang on.
Excellent work,as usual.
Girrup theer mush. Good work as always
What’s all this holiday talk again! 😂
great video thanks ollie
Nicely done! But ye ol Forky McForkface is a wee bit soft on its left tire it seems to my eye at around 16:22. When You pick up the bucket the tires go flat- more than I´d be comfy with. It might take the edge off when You cart around stuff on the yard so I get why one would like his McForkface a wee bit soft.
It just looks …wrong. I think Forkface wheels should witstand the weight and it´s up to the driver to tiptoe the throttle and hydraulics.
I used to drive a Forkface, it was the most clapped out, run down thing in all of Germany but it …ran and wasn´t leaky so I got to like it. Brakes were shot so: be careful. I was and I never had a problem.
Good stuff, Kind Regards
In future videos would you film some of the attachments working in the field for us who don't know the mechanics behind them. I've never heard of chopping beets for sheep.
Another job well done!
We’re not making a spaceship ! Be careful Elon might be a subscriber. 👍
