Hey viewers you might have seen this Ripper video a few months back, we had to take it down due to "extreme profanity" but made some changes and decided it was time to upload it again!

The profanity was not a problem. It’s reality. The bloopers are the best part, please don’t remove them. On occasion I have skipped the video to see the bloopers. You do great work and make videos that are interesting to watch. It’s not easy to do both. As a person skilled in my trade I often say, it’s not a matter of how much you know, or how perfect you are, it’s your ability to adapt and recover when things don’t go to plan that make a person truly good at their job. You obviously leave a significant amount out of the videos that won’t be interesting to most, but I know exactly how much work and stress goes into these jobs. And I cannot properly describe how psychopathic my wolf/husky dog is, but I feel like you might understand having seen your shop dog. Keep making great videos, average people enjoy them, even if advertisers don’t.
"Extreme profanity" get stuffed RUclips. 😂 It's traditional Australian vernacular, swearing is a form of positive affirmation in Australia: "Bloody oath! Daz is a good cunt to work with, doesn't fuck about." 🇦🇺
I've been a trawlerman, a forester and a farmer and swearing is the only way to let stress out without breaking something or hitting something immovable. You're both doing great and unless swearing wrecks RUclips's algorithm then don't change a thing. The biggest attraction of this channel is how natural you both are, closely followed by an admiration of your respective skillsets and dedication to great work and vid's. Regards from Scotland.
I agree. The inclusion of a blooper reel is wonderfully down to earth and honestly I just love watching them interact. Steele's enthusiasm is awesome, but this no-nonsense, no-apprentice, understated and salt of the earth approach is refreshing and inspiring.
So many great channels have been killed because of RUclips’s profanity censorship. As they would say in France, “You guys are a bunch of fucking cunts”, or something like that.
I cannot get enough of these extraordinary displays of engineering genius. No wonder the big operators send their toughest jobs for you to sort out. You’re the best I have ever seen. You know how to rebuild anything the correct way and you don’t cut corners. I’m glad I found your channel 👍
These repair videos are some of the most satisfying things I watch. Also, "right oh" and "how you going," are becoming some of my favorite hobby work phrases. Hopefully you never stop making these, it hits all the right spots in the brain.
I (54) love your channel Kurtis! Since I'm an industrial mechanic myself, I know something about what you're doing there. I have been making gears for large gearboxes for almost thirty years! I think it's really great that you still show the outtakes at the end of the video! This shows again and again that we are only human. Greetings from Bocholt Germany.
This has become a ritual for me on Fridays. No matter how bad the day is, I will make time for the new CEE video - it does make the day better after all. Cheers for making these, stay like you are!
I welded bridge girders, worked with steel this thick, and played with heavy drills for years. Your videos bring back good (and really bad) memories. Thanks!!
One of the things I’ve noticed and love is the fact you zoom in on the dials and settings of the machinery to help us understand a bit more. Goes over my head half the time but I enjoy it none the less!
Being a retired welder/machinist/boiler maker/fabrication specialist I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up, good job. Enjoy the bloopers at the end also.
Love the Bloopers.. love the expressions on Kurtis’s face .. We often have a saying here in the U.K… “All the gear and no idea” but in your case .. “All the gear and all the idea”.. great shot Mrs Kurtis of the rebating tool in slow motion cutting the steel, brilliant repair, still amazes me how thick you can flame cut through thick steel..
Nowadays I work with financial software all day inside but I grew up in a rural area so watching these videos reminds me a lot of growing up. Great work and that's an awesome doggo!
I only just found you guys, nothing like this on RUclips, totally amazing!! what a team you both make, editing videos and the filming must take aslong as the job itself, well done to you both 👏
I've honestly never seen anyone welding as well as you. That's god-level welding in its purest form. Love your channel and thoroughly enjoy the bloopers and foreign language at the end.
Kurtis is speaking Australianese. It's a derivative of the Queen's English. Slang, profanity, the consistent shortening of words, ending random words with "o" or "ie" , and inexplicable phrases make up the majority of this language. The Prime Minister's are known to speak full Aussie in order to communicate fluently with the citizen's of our great Nation.
This is the video that out of random popped up in my feed some year ago. I watched it, got hooked, and watched a dozen more videos that weekend :D See you this friday guys!
Karen and Kurtis, thanks for not bleeping out with a 1000 hz tone any ultra descriptive phrases, I was only able to detect maybe 6 Fooks in the out takes.....as always, very enjoyable....this is one of my go to relaxation videos......Cheers, Paul
Like the honesty of the first vid, shame you had to take it down, been a Heavy Diesel fitter in a past life, sometimes the description kurtis uses is accurate, amazing what the old hissing hacksaw can do in the right hands, keep up the awesome videos from NZ
Hissing Hacksaw.... LOL. I've always called them the Gas Axe. I love the little train track carriage thingy that automates the cut - the constant speed and no shaking creates a really impressive straight slice!
I am a private security guard. I have nothing to do with what you do. But I am a person who is interested in every subject that develops himself. your videos take the stress out of my job, it's psychological therapy for me. Lots of love and respect from Turkey. Good luck with...
What I really enjoy about watching your videos is how methodically you do your work. The sign of a true professional. It is clear why your business is a success.
Excellent video work on this one again. Karen brings us in close on every operation and it really helps with the detailed understanding of what's involved. I really got a sense for just how patient Homeless is when Kurtis was fitting him with the glasses - what a ham and a great part of the family.
What did Kurtis say about the horsepower of this dozer... Let's say 800 to the tracks? Can you picture a team of 800 draft horses all harnessed to a "plow" this size to open up the rocky ground of a quarry site? The amount of sheer power being transmitted through this chunk of steel into the job, nearly boggles the mind! One day, off the tip snaps. Then one very skilled boffin in Oz says: "Bring it here mate. I'll set it right." A day later it's back on the job getting dragged through stoney earth by those 800 ponies...good for another 5 years or more.
Love your videos. As a welding supervisor for navy vessels, you did a great job with how you executed this repair. Keep up the good work and can't wait for your next upload. .
You are one talented person and watching you do all this work alone is amazing. Your welding is beyond belief and you make it look so easy. Great job to you and a great video to your better half. Love your dog and he looks so happy with the two of you. Glad he got a home with people that love him.
Its a gift to know precisely the correct point to switch to fast fwd mode for these. Just right amount of showing the details, and then speeding up to not get bored from the repetition. Brilliant!
Speaking of ripper shanks, hi, Homey! Thinking about those outtakes, Karen’s editing is masterful; she even makes *you* look smooth! Have a great weekend, Team CEE!
Sitting here, reading the title and thinking... Damn this is going to be a short one. I am so glad I was wrong and as per normal the level of workmanship going into your work is just on another level.
Karen's favourite machine. The press. Said no one ever. Always amazed at the straight smooth line that can be cut through such thick metal. Always looking forward to Kurtis vs clingwrap videos. Maybe next time. Thnx for another great video
Hi Kirtus, I'm now 74 years of age, Retired Cat / Field mechanic, I'm very sorry to say, I'll never get to down under, I wish I had. generally ripping rock does that over time, Where I lived and worked, lot's of blue granite hard stuff. I have to say, high fives to the work you are capable of producing, I never known of anyone here in the states to take a blank the size you have and cut and mill it to fit, a ripper section. You do Superior work. Typically we buy a ripped shank lower end already cut and milled, and weld it on, what you do is amazing. There is no doubt in my mind, The LORD GOD of heaven and earth is blessed you, as for the language, It's up to you to define the man you want to be in all of life. No matter what your environment is. No man needs to foul out, just expand the vocabulary and it's a done deal
Man, you have some nice toys. Love that torch setup. You amaze me at what you can do in that shop. The camera work is incredible. Best shop channel on the net. Florida USA👍👍👍👍👍
I always found the blooper footage or behind the scenes at the end enjoyable. It’s a shame, I enjoyed seeing the realism of what it takes doing videos and Curtis being himself. All I can do now is remember the good old days when people didn’t get offended or you had to worry about offending people.
Love everything about these videos, the camerawork, the narration, the before and after shots, the out takes and of course,the dog 🐕. Thanks for sharing your expertise in this field.
I’ve only did that once. A lot of work goes into that. Love to watch you work because you know what you’re doing and you’re good at it. I look forward to your videos.
Gday Kurtis and Karen, I reckon when the tip breakers off it would go off with a bang, amazing how much punishment the tyne takes, the shop made counter bore tool works a treat, great video as always mate, thanks heaps, have a great weekend, Cheers
I enjoy watching Homeless interact with y’all, reminds me so much of mind before he passed. I also enjoy watching all the repairs and how you achieve each one plus your talent for this.
It's fascinating to watch someone take the world's most powerful equipment on this Earth, and repair/rebuild something that is able to continue to be of use for a company. Without these large machines, the company comes to a complete halt. But also the amount of skill that no book can give. This is acquired by years and years of experience, and the ability to use all your senses and immediately know if it's good.
Extremely impressive welding and machining skills, but also great videography and editing. I love how he casually mentions that he made his own counter boring tool, a feat that in itself is beyond he capability of we mortals. Keep up the great work! I know you both work very, very hard. I wish you continued exponential success with your business!
They say in life that people tend to get animals that reflect or like to reflect their owners personalities or looks. Here their dog clearly reflects the owners personality & determination. "Big BALLS" because he tackles with great skills, jobs, few others would attempt. His partner behind the camera reflects the skills of a movie production team. Keep the vids coming!
Amazing ripper nose repair. We have a workshop that also does this kind of repairs. We are called ESP Cape Town (Equipment spare parts) south africa. Love to see broken stuff get repaired. Great video Kurtis
I was a field mechanic and had to do that to a ripper shank for a excavator. It was 2" thick and I had to stick weld it used 50 lbs of 1018 rod and took all night. I was just getting the blankets on when the crew showed up and wanted to use it I said not yet.. now I sit on my boat and watch you do it.
I really appreciate your outtakes. Everything else looks so perfect and it's really refreshing to see all the work that goes into the polished presentation. Also they are often very funny. Thanks for the great content.
It was one of the best. I learnt you can turn high speed steel in a lathe (broken drill) this week. And autoexpert says weld metal is stronger than original. Maybe a beep or little animated explosion every now and then might reduce the “ profanity”, and we can always add our own.
It depends on what rod your using but yes most of the time welds are stronger metal then the parent or host material. That’s why you will see new cracks form right next to the edge of a new weld.
So he needs some holes. Does he drill a itty bitty hole then use a boring bar? NO!!! the man grabs a MOTHER HUGE DRILL PRESS FROM HELL and does the whole thing in one pass! Notice the chips; that steel is layered in hardness
I was a component engineer in the electrical power generation business. I have seen some pretty incredible production weld/fabrication and machining and some even more incredible weld repairs. You folks are the fabricator masters… Cheers…
I'm certainly glad that you re-posted this video as I missed it the first time. Incredible workmanship and skills shown throughout all of your videos by you and your Lady. Stay safe !!
In this video i think u can see that the counterbore or more specific the chamfering was responsible for the crack to start growing. It would be super awesome if u can give us a close up of the cracksurface so we can see its progression if u dont mind. And dont forget every notch can make ur work fail earlier then u expect even if its such a big and heavy piece.
Love your high standard of professionalism, workmanship and funny as “f*ck” sense of humor. Add that to excellent video production…and then there’s Homie🐶 Good on ya mate👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I,ve sat a top a crane beam welding a 30 mm thick flange that was 700 mm wide for over an hour so I feel your pain welding that joint, still satisfying once completed. Love the channel and the work you do. Keep up the great content guys!.
I love going through these again. Never fail to be impressed with the chunks you work with Kurtis. The videography just keeps getting better and better. Great work guys...
that massive drill press is amazing! I've never seen anything like it before. can you please explain a little about it in a future video? seriously impressive. homie is such a good boy.
Amazed that that weld joint will hold and you don’t need to replace the whole component. I have no doubt however that you know what you’re doing. As always great informative video. Thanks love your channel.
Seeing all the outtakes at the end are great, make a person laugh, but it also shows how much work you guys put into making a quality video for us. Just want to say I truly appreciate all the hard work that is put into your videos. Look forward to them every week. Thanks for everything you do.
The combined efforts of you three remarkable people (Homie is a person too) results in a series of very entertaining and instructive videos. I bet the students of Manual Arts and Technical Colleges all around the world really enjoy your teaching videos. Cheers from Chiang Mai, 🇹🇭 where we have lots of Technical College students who really ought to notice your website/Channel.
Friday morning (UK time) I wait in anticipation for your next video. Such an enjoyable watch each week. Thank you, Mrs Kurtis and the safety officer. Please keep them coming.
Another well explained video on how and why you took specific steps on this job. Not to take money out of your pocket, but a fellow Australian, Demolition Dave Drilling and Blasting, on his RUclips channel demonstrated breakup of rock at a distance from other building that I thought was unbelievable (blasting or using expanding gell).
love the videos man. im not a welder or mechanic but i am constantly working with you guys and soaking up all i can. the things i have learned from you and others in the heavy duty world plays a huge part in the role i take as a supervisor for equipment and understanding if it is something i can deal with on my own or what route i need to take to get stuff fixed. also helps me call bullshit on contractors thinking i am going to be a pushover for some easy money. keep it up man. if i ever get a chance to go to Australia, i would love to see your operation.
I honestly love these videos. Ive only been welding for 2 years (almost 3 now) and this motivates me to get to work everyday. I would love to work on some of the stuff you do and I have a strong passion for welding! Keep up the awesome videos! Love the pup by the way
I watched this video twice in 6 months. Still just as impressed with the process second time around. The out takes are brilliant!! Narrating your videos/work must add substantial time😂

Extreme profanity? Was that out of complaints by sensitive butthurt viewers or personal choice?
I couldn't give an actual number of passes. So could I just say a shitload of weld?
The profanity was not a problem. It’s reality. The bloopers are the best part, please don’t remove them. On occasion I have skipped the video to see the bloopers. You do great work and make videos that are interesting to watch. It’s not easy to do both.

No wonder you need a break editing with Commentary 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you should do a voice over sometimes Karen.
"Extreme profanity" get stuffed RUclips. 😂 It's traditional Australian vernacular, swearing is a form of positive affirmation in Australia:

longlowdog has nailed it. Well said m8.
Right! Also Cioran said that a man who doesn't swear can go crazy... ;)
Couldn't agree more!
As a fellow brit, a scotsmans vocabulary would not be complete without the f word!
I create new cuss words daily it is part of the working culture !!
The bloopers and the swears at the end are funny as. Everyone puts out vanilla vids - love that you aren't like everyone else.
@@ぎrlsせxy
Nooo
I agree. The inclusion of a blooper reel is wonderfully down to earth and honestly I just love watching them interact. Steele's enthusiasm is awesome, but this no-nonsense, no-apprentice, understated and salt of the earth approach is refreshing and inspiring.
So many great channels have been killed because of RUclips’s profanity censorship. As they would say in France, “You guys are a bunch of fucking cunts”, or something like that.
Why not make a new one out of one piece of metal the same tHickness as the original no welding
I cannot get enough of these extraordinary displays of engineering genius. No wonder the big operators send their toughest jobs for you to sort out. You’re the best I have ever seen. You know how to rebuild anything the correct way and you don’t cut corners. I’m glad I found your channel 👍
These repair videos are some of the most satisfying things I watch. Also, "right oh" and "how you going," are becoming some of my favorite hobby work phrases. Hopefully you never stop making these, it hits all the right spots in the brain.

If I didn't see it I honestly would never have believed it was possible to cut so clean and precisely with a torch.
This has become a ritual for me on Fridays. No matter how bad the day is, I will make time for the new CEE video - it does make the day better after all.
Cheers for making these, stay like you are!
does he own the entire shop and do all the work alone? i'm new to this channel.
@@jlelelr In short: Yes, it's Karen and him. They have a Q&A video which is worth watching - they also tell a bit of their journey in it.
@@Uli_Krosse thanks... what a guy. awesome!
24 - 25 mins : some real wizardry shaping the tip with the cutting discs. You have enviable hand eye coordination. Excellent video work too...
Yeah no kidding. That was impressive.
@@santeebandit3246 agreed. And what are ya gonna do? Mill it? Guess you have to get excellent at free hand angle grinding. Masterful indeed.
Honestly, what blows me away MORE than the awesome videos, is that people break these things and actually find the piece that has broken off!
I welded bridge girders, worked with steel this thick, and played with heavy drills for years. Your videos bring back good (and really bad) memories. Thanks!!
hard but its great proud work that when you finish the day you feel like you did something that matters.
Yet another liar!
You lie about your name!

@@taitorhead4168 YOU!
You lie about your real name.
That make you a cowardly infant, who needs to grow up.
@@MichaelKingsfordGray When has anybody told you my real name? I am confused and I believe you are as well.
Glad to see the rerun.....will not be the same without Kurtis spicing it up a little with his descriptions.....cheers from Florida, Paul
One of the things I’ve noticed and love is the fact you zoom in on the dials and settings of the machinery to help us understand a bit more. Goes over my head half the time but I enjoy it none the less!
Just for fun and addition to the viewing pleasure, I suggest getting a FLIR temp camera to show how and where the metals are getting hot.
Kurtis, I have no idea how many hours it's taken you to get great at what you do, but you are an inspiration. Pure magic watching you work!
Being a retired welder/machinist/boiler maker/fabrication specialist I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up, good job. Enjoy the bloopers at the end also.
It's refreshing to listen to someone work complete with swearing, laughing and poking fun like it used to be. Carry on Curtis Fucking wicked
I appreciate that regular bottle jack in place of a machinist's jack. That's how you know you're doing big-boy work.
Love the Bloopers.. love the expressions on Kurtis’s face .. We often have a saying here in the U.K… “All the gear and no idea” but in your case .. “All the gear and all the idea”.. great shot Mrs Kurtis of the rebating tool in slow motion cutting the steel, brilliant repair, still amazes me how thick you can flame cut through thick steel..

This is the video that out of random popped up in my feed some year ago. I watched it, got hooked, and watched a dozen more videos that weekend :D
See you this friday guys!
I must also say a word about the excellent photography. The angles and close-ups are always spot on. Good on her!
Karen and Kurtis, thanks for not bleeping out with a 1000 hz tone any ultra descriptive phrases, I was only able to detect maybe 6 Fooks in the out takes.....as always, very enjoyable....this is one of my go to relaxation videos......Cheers, Paul

Safety officer in his safety goggles…. Absolutely the most adorable staffie on RUclips. Cheers 🍻 from America 🇺🇸
No kidding right? Cute little dude looking handsome as hell in his work shirt
Loved your use of CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) to shape the end of the ripper.
great material choice too ;)
Your contractors are lucky to have a guy with your skills and knowledge - saves them a fortune - hope you charge well.
Its a gift to know precisely the correct point to switch to fast fwd mode for these. Just right amount of showing the details, and then speeding up to not get bored from the repetition. Brilliant!

"Big BALLS" because he tackles with great skills, jobs, few others would attempt. His partner behind the camera reflects the skills of a movie production team. Keep the vids coming!
Sitting here in my CEE hoodie enjoying another great episode, thanks for all the effort you 3 put in.
Amazing ripper nose repair. We have a workshop that also does this kind of repairs. We are called ESP Cape Town (Equipment spare parts) south africa. Love to see broken stuff get repaired.
Great video Kurtis
I was a field mechanic and had to do that to a ripper shank for a excavator. It was 2" thick and I had to stick weld it used 50 lbs of 1018 rod and took all night. I was just getting the blankets on when the crew showed up and wanted to use it I said not yet.. now I sit on my boat and watch you do it.
I'm a welder fabricator, and I think your good at explaining work process, and I will be watching alot more of your work
Seeing how it was a great video, it’ll be worth watching again.
I really appreciate your outtakes. Everything else looks so perfect and it's really refreshing to see all the work that goes into the polished presentation. Also they are often very funny. Thanks for the great content.
impressive to see the repair of the parts of the machines we use everyday on site, thanks for sharing your (great) work. Cheers.
I'm hooked on these videos. As an IT guy, (and not a welder), I appreciate all the descriptions on what you're doing at every step.
I'm 15 and I really enjoyed all of this. Thank you for sharing your trade skills and craftsmanship. :)
It was one of the best. I learnt you can turn high speed steel in a lathe (broken drill) this week. And autoexpert says weld metal is stronger than original. Maybe a beep or little animated explosion every now and then might reduce the “ profanity”, and we can always add our own.
Is that a flux cored wire you are using, seems to have a scale on it.
Being the star of your own gig is tough.
It depends on what rod your using but yes most of the time welds are stronger metal then the parent or host material. That’s why you will see new cracks form right next to the edge of a new weld.
@@gardnep I noticed that too. also, how many MILES of wire and bottles of gas does he go thru in a month?
So he needs some holes. Does he drill a itty bitty hole then use a boring bar? NO!!! the man grabs a MOTHER HUGE DRILL PRESS FROM HELL and does the whole thing in one pass! Notice the chips; that steel is layered in hardness
Id really like to see some of the customers reactions when they get their parts back. They better be off the edge happy with the work and quality.
I can’t imagine big, burly construction workers being giddy about a repair.
@@JosephQPublic You'd be surprised! ;p;
Good thing the pup is wearing his hi-vis safety gear!
I was a component engineer in the electrical power generation business.
I have seen some pretty incredible production weld/fabrication and machining and some even more incredible weld repairs.
You folks are the fabricator masters… Cheers…
I'm certainly glad that you re-posted this video as I missed it the first time. Incredible workmanship and skills shown throughout all of your videos by you and your Lady. Stay safe !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
In this video i think u can see that the counterbore or more specific the chamfering was responsible for the crack to start growing. It would be super awesome if u can give us a close up of the cracksurface so we can see its progression if u dont mind. And dont forget every notch can make ur work fail earlier then u expect even if its such a big and heavy piece.
Love your high standard of professionalism, workmanship and funny as “f*ck” sense of humor. Add that to excellent video production…and then there’s Homie🐶
Good on ya mate👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Really enjoy your vids! The quality of the shots, angles, slow motion, attention to detail never leaves me wanting. (The giggler) you rock!
I,ve sat a top a crane beam welding a 30 mm thick flange that was 700 mm wide for over an hour so I feel your pain welding that joint, still satisfying once completed. Love the channel and the work you do. Keep up the great content guys!.
I love going through these again. Never fail to be impressed with the chunks you work with Kurtis. The videography just keeps getting better and better. Great work guys...
They should call YTs own Demolition Dave... He blasts near housing all the time for pools & foundations, even near sewers....
Отличная работа, у отличного специалиста широкого профиля.👍
that massive drill press is amazing! I've never seen anything like it before. can you please explain a little about it in a future video? seriously impressive. homie is such a good boy.
Hey mate sure thing thanks for the suggestion 😎👍
Amazed that that weld joint will hold and you don’t need to replace the whole component. I have no doubt however that you know what you’re doing. As always great informative video. Thanks love your channel.
I've teared up ,been watching for 7 years, sensational crew , sensational channel thank you.
You are a very talented man Kurtis, Love all ya work and vids cheers man
Seeing all the outtakes at the end are great, make a person laugh, but it also shows how much work you guys put into making a quality video for us. Just want to say I truly appreciate all the hard work that is put into your videos. Look forward to them every week. Thanks for everything you do.
The combined efforts of you three remarkable people (Homie is a person too) results in a series of very entertaining and instructive videos. I bet the students of Manual Arts and Technical Colleges all around the world really enjoy your teaching videos.
Cheers from Chiang Mai, 🇹🇭 where we have lots of Technical College students who really ought to notice your website/Channel.
Friday morning (UK time) I wait in anticipation for your next video. Such an enjoyable watch each week. Thank you, Mrs Kurtis and the safety officer. Please keep them coming.
Aussie laidback skills. Just so cathartic to watch...
Another well explained video on how and why you took specific steps on this job.
Not to take money out of your pocket, but a fellow Australian, Demolition Dave Drilling and Blasting, on his RUclips channel demonstrated breakup of rock at a distance from other building that I thought was unbelievable (blasting or using expanding gell).
love the videos man. im not a welder or mechanic but i am constantly working with you guys and soaking up all i can. the things i have learned from you and others in the heavy duty world plays a huge part in the role i take as a supervisor for equipment and understanding if it is something i can deal with on my own or what route i need to take to get stuff fixed. also helps me call bullshit on contractors thinking i am going to be a pushover for some easy money. keep it up man. if i ever get a chance to go to Australia, i would love to see your operation.
Even funnier the second time. No need to remove the grey words just make it for adults 😉😉 it adds to enjoyment esp in the bloopers ☺️😊😁
What a ripper of a video Kurtis, you Karen and Homeless big nuts are becoming the highlight of my day. Keep them coming.
This job simply can’t be done without very good experience and proper equipment, another quality job cheers 👍🏻
I honestly love these videos. Ive only been welding for 2 years (almost 3 now) and this motivates me to get to work everyday. I would love to work on some of the stuff you do and I have a strong passion for welding! Keep up the awesome videos! Love the pup by the way
Awesome mate keep at it 😎👊
You're bloody good at what you do, love these videos keep it up
Genuinely spat my drink out when he “pull started” the 9” 😂
I really do like those slow-mo pieces. They are just as good as Kurtis' welding. 👍 *Thank You!*
I watched this video twice in 6 months. Still just as impressed with the process second time around.
The out takes are brilliant!! Narrating your videos/work must add substantial time😂
