For what it’s worth, I find these small jobs just as interesting. I enjoying seeing how you problem solve issues. Yet again Oliver, both of these jobs leave your workshop to a far higher spec than when they come in. It’s a privilege to watch you work
Small jobs ALWAYS lead to big jobs. That’s how a business grows. Quality? I cannot imagine there being one complaint about the quality of Snowball Engineering’s work, I just hope you’re charging enough.
You are a modern day version of the old blacksmith, and a lot of the skills those men had are being lost, but some of the tricks you are still using, You have the ability to think "outside the box" and the blacksmith who I had the dealings with had forgotten probably more than I know about engineering. Keep up the great content and never worry about the content.
It's the odd random jobs, and seeing the ingenious ways you come up with fixes is the content we crave...sure standard fixes are cool...but seeing ingenuity and skill being used to make it "better than factory" is what keeps us coming back. Somebody sponsor this guy with red oxide please!!!! Loving it man! Keep em coming!!!!
Mornin' Ollie. Many thanks yet again for the videos that you post up for us all to watch. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in to do that. Love your channel. Thumbs up before I watch. Sunday mornings wouldn't be good for me if I couldn't sit down with a cuppa and watch whatever you've been up to during the week. Always enjoy watching you fix stuff up. Nothing you post up is boring to me. Always find what you do is interesting so please stop worrying that it won't be "very interesting ". Your little repair jobs are just as good to watch as the the big jobs you do. You get brought some crappy stuff to sort out and you always fathom out a way to get the jobs done. Farming community are lucky to have you around to fix the broken kit they bring you. Cracking couple of jobs today mate 👌 Again, many thanks. Cheers for now 👍
I agree with many commenters here: this wasn't boring at all, although I, too, prefer the "head scratcher" jobs, simply because they're more satisfying when they finally work out. Good stuff, though, Oliver.
Yet another top notch video. I see others agree that just because they are small jobs the fixes are still interesting and the shaping of the plates, especially the small side reinforcements with the tiny little curve, shows a level of artistry - yes - artistry in your work. There are very, very few guys in your line of business who would have done that - for the vast majority it would have been a straight line angle if they had even bothered to fit them.
Remember, some of us just enjoy the manufacturing and repairing engineering that goes in to every job you do! Don't worry, count the likes and you will know your worth to your followers.
Dude, your videos are cool, you are one of those bloggers who show life and not a staged plot. Continue, we watch you at work at lunch. Greetings from Russia.
Good morning, Oliver. Nice jobs and thanks. I think the main draw of your channel is the knowledge and skills you apply to keeping up agricultural equipment and fixtures of all variety for the farm, while keeping job costs as low as possible. And you explain what you are doing in simple terms. IMO that is why 50,000 plus subscribers can't wait for Sunday morning to get here to catch another of your videos. Thanks again and see you next Sunday, mate. Cheers.
What I and plenty of other people like about your channel Ollie is that "It is what it is", your jobs are real, you're not a hobby jobber doing things to make content. Bigger and more complicated stuff will come along for sure. Stick at it , we love it, warts and all!
Morning Olly, you sound a bit more chipper today 👍. Hard work's never easy, and easy work's hard to find 😉. Good to see some simple straightforward stuff come in, keeps the head clear n the pocket healthy 👍
Don’t sweat excitement. Can’t speak for everyone, of course, but I just like watching you solve problems. We are all lucky farms are among the greatest problem creators on the planet.
I find your videos very interesting. I worked as a welder/fabricator for almost ten years. I enjoyed the work. Your approach to the jobs you have is interesting to me . The small and large projects. You have to use what materials you have on hand. You’ll never make money if you’re always ordering materials you don’t need to complete the job. Keep up the good work and thanks for the video.
The best part of this video was watching you cutting off the old bush on the bale spear. Cut cut beat beat look scratch head get more tools, repeat. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who gets to do that. Good work much ingenuity enjoy your videos. Thanks
It grieved me to see such a work of art desecrated 😢Just think how vocabularies were expanded every time it had snapped and dropped bale.A museum piece😂😂
When I did more welding for work. I liked the fabrication jobs. Never had lathes, or presses. Or anything fancy. Just bits of steel design builds. But now I am retired I get a kick out of the repair type work like those jobs. Within my capability and keeps equipment going. All your jobs serve a useful purpose. Small and large. And a lot of small customers are better than the occasional big one.
G'day mate, May not have been "exciting" however it was entertaining, educational and pays the bills. Can't ask for much more. The cut table and program making life easier. cheers from Australia.
Great to see how much you embrace the technology with your CNC plasma program. You always find a way to repair something that looks too far gone. Great work as always. Love Sunday morning snowball from New Jersey, USA.
It’s Sunday afternoon, it’s Snowball Day. Can’t be missed it makes my day. I was just going to write plug welds, and there they were in your mind. Totally professional approach certainly not “farm fabricated” top notch work. Gussets, cheap effective, curve was a really nice touch. Next job for the workshop is a backstop fabricated. Curtis spends half his time making workshop tooling it seems.
You're always striving to improve designs and make things better. Not just a quick fix. I'm sure your customers appreciate and respect this mate. Keep up the good work 😊
It’s Sunday evening here in kiwi land, well nearly Monday actually and Oliver drops a video, so guess there goes sleep as I now have to watch what you are up to. 😂😂😂 happy days
It's the process of fixing the problem that's interesting, complicated builds can be interesting, but as a retired guy who worked in similar industries, I enjoy the show and tell part best. Have a great day
Many an engineering shop would have ordered the steel and put tge whole length on the customers bill. The fact that you fabricated suitable fixtures from sheet saved you time and money, the customer time and money and got the job done PDQ. Well done for being a fitter, mechanic and engineer in the best tradition. You will never becout if work.
thanks again for the videos you post for us all to watch. Appreciate the time and effort you put in none of your jobs are boring each has its own challenges and such keep them coming no matter how boring you think they are there all of interest for us the viewer Big Cheers From N Q Australia
I'm surprised that both trailer jobs were so rusty. But this job was obviously caused by the material being way too thin without any drainage holes in the frame. You might wanna drill a couple. 500 inch holes near the joints to let out the water to stop further rusting on the trailer. The bail spike should be fine for a long time it looks very professional and strong. Great video, Oliver.
Simple jobs are just as interesting because your way of dealing with the repair jobs are always impressing You must send info to Kurt in CEE about your filter mask, he is breathing too much welding fumes
Hi Ollie. Just a quick tip if you're folding a short width & you're gonna clash the tooling. put a small brake along the centre of the length, turn it over, do your 2 folds & then turn it back over & flatten the centre.
Ollie you are such a humble guy I think your work is amazing. I have never welded anything but your welds look better than most on Utube, I think your farming community are really lucky to have you. I love the way you take on any job see what it needs come up with a drawing (CAD) which turns into parts for welding and a better part is turned out that the original. I hope you charge for the use of your equipment because not all shops have what you have. I would like to know how you got into engineering if your OK telling us. I look forward to next week.
All your videos are interesting, I always pick up something from them, be it placement or the shapes you use for better strength and also the order you tackle things.
Great video Oliver. You may think it was not exciting but I will watch what ever you put up for us. I really enjoy watching your workman and work ethics it is refreshing to see. Cheers!
Another excellent video, very interesting watching all the different solutions to the assorted problems. This type of video gives a true picture of the daily work of an agricultural engineer.
This video is why I like watching your tube channel. Yes, it's cutting and welding, but there is always some new challenge to contend with, and you seem to use your head and come up with a genius way to repair it all. And usually stronger than the original was constructed. Pretty kitty also.
To make those sleeves you could have folded 2 triangular sections that way each one only needs one fold down the centre rather than 2 equal ones. Makes it easier. I enjoy these little jobs as much as the big ones. You're really good at this stuff so it's always a pleasure to watch.
Good evening Oliver. Good that you didn't over brace the headboard. Better to rip or bend it than damage a door/another machine. Same for mudguards, tailgates etc. They're easier to repair than something expensive.
“Flashbacks of the trailer I did earlier”! Yep that was a mammoth amount of work. Love watching your channel Ollie great content. No B.S , no bad language
Absolutely incredible work again Olly. It looks super strong and excellent looking design. I really don't know how you do it. I'm in awe every time I watch your work. Thanks again from Nantwich UK mate.
Another great video 👍 These small jobs can be just as interesting when we see how much thought you put in to make sure what leaves the workshop isn't just a repair but something that is above and beyond
I'm with others who like the small jobs too - projects like this video are more like what I might encounter on my family ranch so it's helpful to see how you fabricate fixes for these.
Even the small mundane jobs always provide a little insight on fabrication. When you first review the repair, I’m thinking in my head how would I do it. It’s interesting to observe different options and results. Looking forward to future projects.
Lots of "fabbers" on the Tube, but your creative repairs to farm equipment are interesting and provide a unique view of the practical application of your skill set. Thanks for posting.
Another super fix. What would be very helpful for an amateur diy mig welder like me, would be just like this vlog, to call out the settings for each project, wire speed, volatge etc. A good mig set up video would be helpful too. Thanks for another informative video 👍
A top tip that I can pass on is to get a 16 amp feed and socket and change the plug on your welder to a 16 amp, this transformed the performance of my cheap 150 amp mig welder , it has made it more efficient and a lot easier to use
@lesbaty8919 thanks, yes I bought a sip 180amp, have the 16amp plug on from new. I find with different thickness of metals you spend a lot of time on set up. Heat/voltage is the key from what i can gather. Would be good to get all that from Olly during his many projects, just means it's just a bit of fine tuning so to speak 👍
Your absolutely right about pressing the repair parts for the head board, you can't carry every size of material, these small jobs are just as interesting it's nice to see a fellow engineer go about a repair in much the same way as I would. Cheers Oh and I love the " interesting" bracket on the bale spike I call it archeology when you cut something like that apart 🤔
there was a problem.... and you solved it...your videos are always interesting .... and for your customer you saved them a bit by not passing the cost of material you would have ordered
Oliver it is interesting to see you take on the jobs as they come. So many of the sites that did that have turned to doing projects for friends or doing "EXPERT' rebuilding of their machines. You are in the game to exist by providing a service.
Would not worry about little job you still think outside the box as you don’t keep box tube size,I sure bending and making a box still make you think,good video again as always.
Morning Olly I’ve just discovered this channel. Looks like you’ve had some really interesting projects. I do a fair bit of farmer fabrication myself, so I had to laugh at this bale spike. This type of bodgery is normally down to a farmers habit of leaving things in till the very moment they desperately need to use it. Then end up just doing what it takes.
Whatever is on the video is interesting to watch. There’s always one or 2 of your ideas and processes that can be learned. Everyday is a school day in my mind , never stop learning.
I've always tried to do the jobs with what I have to hand, for exactly the reasons you gave, cost, stock & storage. I disliked working outside in Winter because of the wind, rain and temperature. When it was inevitable long johns or thick tights, not fishnets were great to keep warm. Good jobs, thanks for posting. If a job is worth doing it is worth posting 👍
Sometimes the tedious/boring stuff is as interesting as it shows the real life of contracting work, and how you have to take the less interesting to make the monthly’s and keep the food on the table. A great video and as usual your ingenuity to get the job done is the most rewarding part. Take care n play safe.
Don’t worry about what jobs you have to use for videos. We are going to watch your videos regardless. We like to see your work and your improvements to make things better than they were.
Hi Oliver 😊 your looking and sounding brighter mate, two interesting little jobs there, and I'm always surprised by how flimsy the manufacturers make farm equipment, that box section on the trailer wasn't designed to last, at least your repair will outlast the rest of it, thanks for the video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
An interesting job to show how you get around a good repair with the materials in hand. Thanks for sharing this weeks work. Brian from South Yorkshire.
Hi Oliver another enjoyable video, thank you for taking us along with you. Winter is closing in now so keep warm I hope you’re over the virus now. Look after yourself, thanks again
Like the small jobs too. One thing I’ve learnt watching your videos is that farm equipment is built with the cheapest materials possible. I suspect they cost for the most expensive.
Salut à toi. J'ai regardé cette vidéo, avec autant d'intérêt que d'autres. Les petits boulots, s'ils ne sont , en général, pas trop rémunérateurs, sont nécessaires, ne serait ce que pour satisfaire une clientèle, qui ne saurait à qui s'adresser et qui saurons à qui s'adresser pour de plus grands projets. J'aime la façon de faire, toujours aller le mieux, le travail bien accompli est primordiale. Merci donc pour cette vidéo.
Oliver, count me in with the big LIKES. I enjoy the simpler projects. Please show more of your farm when you can fit it in. I also prefer videos that are in the 45 minute range.
Good video Oliver, I bet you would like it if the jobs went as fast as they do on time lapse! It just goes to show how how make do and mend works if you have some idea of what they are doing. Well done, best regards Ken
You did a great job with the material you had on hand I find that very genius and way that you fix that trailer it's going to come back and you're going to have to rebuild it like it was a new one again
BTW, congrats on passing 50K subscribers. Given the sometimes very rough materials you have to work with, and your own modest, inventive diligence, your channel's well worth it.

Absolutely.
100% in agreement.

Quality? I cannot imagine there being one complaint about the quality of Snowball Engineering’s work, I just hope you’re charging enough.
Same here! Love small jobs.
Take it from me: your "not so interesting" videos are way more interesting than so many others out there. Please keep them coming.
I enjoyed watching you do these simple repairs just as much as the more complex jobs.
I've never been bored watching your videos, and I look forward to every one of them you produce.
Your company slogan should be ' Snowball engineering, repairs done better than factory'
Have a great week.
You are a modern day version of the old blacksmith, and a lot of the skills those men had are being lost, but some of the tricks you are still using,
You have the ability to think "outside the box" and the blacksmith who I had the dealings with had forgotten probably more than I know about engineering.
Keep up the great content and never worry about the content.
It's the odd random jobs, and seeing the ingenious ways you come up with fixes is the content we crave...sure standard fixes are cool...but seeing ingenuity and skill being used to make it "better than factory" is what keeps us coming back.

Funny how the mudguard makes a wind guard as well! These litte repair vids are very nice too! That's why I like your channel. Diversion is got!

I save your videos till Sunday evening where l can relax and watch them you don't produce boring videos l love them all keep it up oliver
Thanks for the video Ollie, like you say , these are the jobs that pay the bills, you’ll soon get something technical to get your teeth into. 👍

cheers from Australia.
Sometimes the small and easiest jobs are good. Makes a diy job for us that just have a smaller welder. This was entertaining for the brain. Good job.
Great to see how much you embrace the technology with your CNC plasma program. You always find a way to repair something that looks too far gone. Great work as always. Love Sunday morning snowball from New Jersey, USA.
Ollie, I also find any job you take on worth watching. The thought process and skill you bring to any job is fascinating. Keep the content coming.
It’s Sunday afternoon, it’s Snowball Day. Can’t be missed it makes my day.
I was just going to write plug welds, and there they were in your mind. Totally professional approach certainly not “farm fabricated” top notch work. Gussets, cheap effective, curve was a really nice touch. Next job for the workshop is a backstop fabricated. Curtis spends half his time making workshop tooling it seems.
I love watching you these kind of jobs. That baker spike was a real bugger to get off. Your ability to reengineer is BRILLIANT!!!
You're always striving to improve designs and make things better. Not just a quick fix. I'm sure your customers appreciate and respect this mate. Keep up the good work 😊
It’s Sunday evening here in kiwi land, well nearly Monday actually and Oliver drops a video, so guess there goes sleep as I now have to watch what you are up to.
😂😂😂 happy days
Morning Ollie mate, Maisy is a proper cutie, nice works as always, have a great Sunday, ta for sharing
It's the process of fixing the problem that's interesting, complicated builds can be interesting, but as a retired guy who worked in similar industries, I enjoy the show and tell part best. Have a great day
Many an engineering shop would have ordered the steel and put tge whole length on the customers bill. The fact that you fabricated suitable fixtures from sheet saved you time and money, the customer time and money and got the job done PDQ. Well done for being a fitter, mechanic and engineer in the best tradition. You will never becout if work.
I enjoy watching your channel it's a learning process always simple jobs or complex thanks for sharing

Big Cheers From N Q Australia
It’s been interesting for me watching both complex and simple jobs. Don’t down yourself. It’s great watching you do any of these jobs. 👏🇦🇺
I'm surprised that both trailer jobs were so rusty. But this job was obviously caused by the material being way too thin without any drainage holes in the frame. You might wanna drill a couple. 500 inch holes near the joints to let out the water to stop further rusting on the trailer. The bail spike should be fine for a long time it looks very professional and strong. Great video, Oliver.
Simple jobs are just as interesting because your way of dealing with the repair jobs are always impressing
You must send info to Kurt in CEE about your filter mask, he is breathing too much welding fumes
Hi Ollie. Just a quick tip if you're folding a short width & you're gonna clash the tooling. put a small brake along the centre of the length, turn it over, do your 2 folds & then turn it back over & flatten the centre.
Ollie you are such a humble guy I think your work is amazing. I have never welded anything but your welds look better than most on Utube, I think your farming community are really lucky to have you. I love the way you take on any job see what it needs come up with a drawing (CAD) which turns into parts for welding and a better part is turned out that the original.

That was a helluva bracket you persuaded off!
All your videos are interesting, I always pick up something from them, be it placement or the shapes you use for better strength and also the order you tackle things.
Great video Oliver. You may think it was not exciting but I will watch what ever you put up for us. I really enjoy watching your workman and work ethics it is refreshing to see. Cheers!
Another excellent video, very interesting watching all the different solutions to the assorted problems. This type of video gives a true picture of the daily work of an agricultural engineer.
This video is why I like watching your tube channel. Yes, it's cutting and welding, but there is always some new challenge to contend with, and you seem to use your head and come up with a genius way to repair it all. And usually stronger than the original was constructed. Pretty kitty also.
The trailer job is a good one. Maybe not the most challenging but a good watch over Sunday breakfast. Thanks
I found the video very watchable! No need to apologise for what you produce. I know how much effort goes in to filming and editing, so thank you!
That little welder does I beautiful job. I personally like watching them all doesn’t matter big or small
To make those sleeves you could have folded 2 triangular sections that way each one only needs one fold down the centre rather than 2 equal ones. Makes it easier. I enjoy these little jobs as much as the big ones. You're really good at this stuff so it's always a pleasure to watch.
Good evening Oliver. Good that you didn't over brace the headboard. Better to rip or bend it than damage a door/another machine. Same for mudguards, tailgates etc. They're easier to repair than something expensive.
“Flashbacks of the trailer I did earlier”! Yep that was a mammoth amount of work. Love watching your channel Ollie great content. No B.S , no bad language
Absolutely incredible work again Olly. It looks super strong and excellent looking design.
I really don't know how you do it. I'm in awe every time I watch your work.
Thanks again from Nantwich UK mate.
Well done, Oliver! Interesting repairs, thanks for sharing.
Bale mover, was function over form!
and "better than factory" to boot!
Another great video 👍 These small jobs can be just as interesting when we see how much thought you put in to make sure what leaves the workshop isn't just a repair but something that is above and beyond
I'm with others who like the small jobs too - projects like this video are more like what I might encounter on my family ranch so it's helpful to see how you fabricate fixes for these.
Always better than the manufacturer! Good job
Hi Oliver, thank you for yet more excellent repairs. Nice to see the kitty cat ;-)
Even the small mundane jobs always provide a little insight on fabrication.
When you first review the repair, I’m thinking in my head how would I do it. It’s interesting to observe different options and results.

Not just good structurally strong, you include nice design details, like the angle on the inside box and the side braces. Very nice work
For us who are interested in learning a bit of your craft, these simpler jobs are great, love your videos mate, thanks for sharing 👍
Same videos are still good to watch. I enjoy them.
there was a problem.... and you solved it...your videos are always interesting .... and for your customer you saved them a bit by not passing the cost of material you would have ordered

Morning Oliver. Your bale spike bracket was a thing of beauty!!!! Strong design! Be Well. David
Awesome welding , keep up the good work, Florida USA
Hi Oliver another enjoyable video, thank you for taking us along with you. Winter is closing in now so keep warm I hope you’re over the virus now. Look after yourself, thanks again
great show to me love all the small plates you cut.thanks again for your time. see you in a week,
Like the small jobs too. One thing I’ve learnt watching your videos is that farm equipment is built with the cheapest materials possible. I suspect they cost for the most expensive.
Watching your skill and workmanship is great fun Ollie. Doesn’t matter about the size or complexity of the task. Great video 😎👍
Great work Oliver. Interesting to watch you problem solve.
Salut à toi. J'ai regardé cette vidéo, avec autant d'intérêt que d'autres. Les petits boulots, s'ils ne sont , en général, pas trop rémunérateurs, sont nécessaires, ne serait ce que pour satisfaire une clientèle, qui ne saurait à qui s'adresser et qui saurons à qui s'adresser pour de plus grands projets. J'aime la façon de faire, toujours aller le mieux, le travail bien accompli est primordiale. Merci donc pour cette vidéo.
Oliver, count me in with the big LIKES. I enjoy the simpler projects. Please show more of your farm when you can fit it in. I also prefer videos that are in the 45 minute range.
You are amazing, customers bring you field repairs done 10 years ago and you make the repairs better than the manufacturer.
Those little jobs are just as interesting as the larger ones and like you say they pay the bills. keep them coming
Small jobs big jobs doesn’t matter, the way you approach it is the bit that I enjoy most.
Keep up the great work.
Good video Oliver, I bet you would like it if the jobs went as fast as they do on time lapse!
It just goes to show how how make do and mend works if you have some idea of what they are doing.
Well done, best regards Ken
You did a great job with the material you had on hand I find that very genius and way that you fix that trailer it's going to come back and you're going to have to rebuild it like it was a new one again
Another great video Ollie, whatever size job your doing is great by me mate it’s the quality of your work is still outstanding
I love it when you use the term, a typical farmer fabrication, you need to change the word fabrication to, fabricobble lol…😂
Don't apologize for working on shat comes in. We appreciate all the jobs you share with us.
BTW, congrats on passing 50K subscribers. Given the sometimes very rough materials you have to work with, and your own modest, inventive diligence, your channel's well worth it.
