As long as I got here so early tonight, I'll say this. As an engineer, I can't begin to tell you how much I respect Curtis' knowledge and capabilities. I don't give that out lightly. It's a rarity, and you're quite the rare breed. These videos are the highlight of my week. Thanks.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringI really look forward to your videos every week, and enjoy every minute. I really like how you speed up sections of video so we get to see all the steps but it doesn't take so long. Thank you!
Totally agree. Great stuff, great information and excellent video work. They are a super pair. So many channels where people love their own voice and just blab away. And no 'hidden' product placements either. Just strait up factual information. Love them both
My dad was a carpenter for 45 years before he retired and his shop had sparrows that would roost there in spring. They built nest and along a wall in the back of the shop and every year they would raise a new clutch of young. My dad cut a hole on the door for them to fly in and in and out of, and they would zip in and out all day bringing in food for their babies. I only remembered that when I saw him feeding those birds. Good childhood memory, thanks buddy.
I love the sound of the Australian magpie, it brings back memories of my trips to Australia. I stayed at Undarra Lave Tubes Resort, I slept in a tent and lying in bed listening to the birds was so serene and therapeutic.
Karen is filming and giggling, Curtis is working with a straight cap, Homeless is ripping apart packages and George is screaming, singing or whatever these sounds are called. I suppose it's a normal Friday at the Gold Coast and i love it 🙂
I definitely like the way you work Curtis. I'm sure you're plenty strong enough to lift a lot of those parts but you're smart enough to use the crane and the forklift. I was a mason for 20+ years. I've done more than my share of heavy lifting over the years. Now that I'm older my back is paying a heavy price for all the hard work. Trust me my friend your back will thank you when you're older. You young guys can learn a lot from Curtis so pay attention.👍🏻
As a heavy vehicle mechanic myself, i totally agree, back when i was doing my apprenticeship little was said about OH&S, steel cap boots and overalls was about it. Curtis is a smart lad he will do well.
@@fredzephire4071 Exactly. I agree. We didn't even wear hard hats unless the general contractor required them. A lot of things have changed since my days as a mason.
Brilliant advice for young people in school. That kind of advice is something that definitely needs to be made each morning like the pledge of allegigance
I remember picking up a “normal” hammer for a job while the experienced guy had what looked like a toffee hammer. Within minutes, I was struggling with a too heavy tool. I learned a valuable lesson - use the right tool for the job. When heavy stuff has to be lifted, your own back is never the best tool for the job.
Maybe you get tired hearing the same old stuff, but the quality of engineering and video recording/editing is superb. Real professional stuff which, even as a layman with no actual need to know this stuff, is a real pleasure to watch. Great job, both.
Watching you tap the bearing off the cylinder after machining away the PERFECT amount of metal has convinced me that you are actually a wizard. Your secret is out and your clever rouse has been foiled.
Cutting edge engineering. Home to a superb Engineer, a brilliant film producer, a multi-talented four wheeled drive parcel examiner, birds, helicopters and a plethora of tools and equipment. Excellent combination, not to be found anywhere else in the world and addictingly entertaining too. Cheers guys.
Glad to see that compound at 30°. I enjoy watching you do steady rest work. When i was working at my last job i did all the steady rest work. I've made custom cylinders from scrach with honed tube. Made many a rod and piston. 30 years machining and 20 of it programing large lathes. So its very enjoyable and satisfying to watch you work. With your precision and attention to detail. Thanks for you time and Karen's time and effort too. I know she has a tough job making you look good. Lol...your faithful watcher, the disabled machinist.
Birdies! I didn't know George sings for his food 😊 Geez you both have skills most of us could never dream of having. The details in the filmed content all the way through to the knowledge and honesty shared by Kurtis.. Keep up the good work...
YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL,I'M 80 AND HAVE HAD A LARGE TOWING BUSINESS AND LAST A SEMI TRUCK SHOP, YOUR WORKMANSHIP GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS AND I CAN SEE YOUR ARE HONEST IN YOUR WORK,MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR LIFE
Kurtis, I always give you praise because your workmanship and craftsmanship are second to none. But Karen, your editing and camerawork are getting amazing!! Your switches between not only shots but themes as well is flawless! Let’s be honest also, you make Kurtis sound like a Nobel laureate and we all know words are not his forte. I’ve never had any problems or issues watching your videos but they’re now so seamless it’s like watching a high dollar production! You mam, may have missed your calling.
Love the Butcher Birds. I get woken by their calls every morning. Mine sound the same but they play their own unique tune. Love the machining as well. 🤠 Cool two handed turning. Most people don’t appreciate how difficult that is.
Gday Kurtis and Karen, sounds like hitachi have put thought into there cylinders with the simple things like a centre, absolutely awesome to see the hone doing it’s job again and it certainly wouldn’t be hard to over cut each side of the effected area, George and his mate put on a good song this week to, great job mate and thank you, have a great weekend, cheers
These barrel rebuilds are just captivating to me. No matter how many you do, I will still watch every one of them. They are similar but each has a bit of a difference. Such as this one having a cast flange. Great to watch!
I work a late/swing shift so it’s always nice to watch someone else work when I get home, LOL. I don’t know why I think that’s relaxing but it is and there is no comparison to all the other content on RUclips, your unique content is in my wheel house as to what I work on all day and I enjoy expanding my knowledge. Hard to find people these days that put workmanship, craftsmanship and pride in their work and I appreciate the effort you all make and share with others. Big thumbs up from the STATES 🇺🇸
Ive been working a dupont swing shift 12hrs for just over 20 years and I tell the new guys youll never get used to it only build a tolerance for it. whew!
thankyou Karen and Curtis for our weekly lesson in barrel making and also having a nature element, feeding the wild birds and learning about their different calls and eating habits. you guys are a great channel to watch. awesome job as usual Curtis your the best machinist i know by far. there is no limit to what you can do. take care guys.
Those button inserts are beasts. I love this content but i don't know why, I don't have any experience or dealing with engineering for work or hobby yet every week Im glued to the videos. Thanks for the time and effort you take to make this content its really interesting and you guys have great chemistry and of course homeless is awesome. All the best from the UK
Kurt, I am very impressed with the variation in thickness of the barrels walls. When you make the cut on the lathe, we can see that the eccentricity is absurd. I notice how your welding (done manually) is much superior to original welds of these barrels, which are done through automated processes. Your welding is very well distributed, with constant thickness. Congratulations on your skill. Greetings from Brazil.
Your experience shows in little things like machining the steady bands down to the same diameter so you don't need to reset the steady when flipping the cylinder. A random guy like me might just machine them until clean and then lose time re-centering for a different diameter.
The knowledge shown in your videos shows up in the finished product. Any company who deals with you for repairs has first hand knowledge of the finished product and the fact that you expose your business to such scrutiny is testament to level of standard you provide. Companies must be queuing up to get work done by yourself and your notoriety for never cutting corners and making sure the finished product it back to OEM standard. Thanks once again for a entertaining video Karen.
Thank you Mr. Curtis for this useful lesson And thanks to Ms. Karen for making the activity enjoyable when she excelled in photography and directing I look forward to seeing you every week in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Top notch once again Kurtis and Karen. Even the Magpies have got into the act of singing Curtis praises, he is now an honorary Australian Princess. Thank you guys you make the start of the weekend a joy.
Pied butcherbirds (Cracticus nigrogularis) actually. They are related to magpies, probably the easiest visual difference is that magpies have black undersides and walk rather than hop.
I'm impressed at how you set up your operations so that you obtain the required concentricity using a three-jaw chuck, and in a way that avoids having to dial-in a four-jaw chuck. You also know where that's important and where it's not. My compliments.
its getting there. soon you will be able to re assemble the parts. You make it look easy. Good video Kurtis. Its good when you have the tools to complete this kind of work. Hope to see the next part next week. Look forward to that video.
Good job, glad to see the birds still around, my wife and I live on the side of a mountain in a forest. We have so many birds around which we feed even got birds which sing through the night too. The honing machine is awesome and must be very handy not having to send work out. Sometimes the weld prep took longer than the welding, but we always made sure it was done right. Great post. Thanks Kurtis, Karen and of course Homey 👍
Curtis my dad was a tool and die maker for 25 years of his 49 year life. I know that if he could watch what you do he would be amazed at your journeyman skills in everything you do there. Your video assistant is excellent and the family pet is over the moon precious. Much love from Sparks, Nevada USA for what you do there.
Hi, from Sacramento, CA USA, love all the vids, incredible videography and incredible attention to detail. Keep it coming and more puppy shots please . 😊
Thanks to Karen for her great video recording n editing skills, especially the bloopers lol + big thanks for Homie doing his usual duties around the workshop n opening his surprise toys, and as always a pleasure watching someone like Curtis who takes great pride in his machining and welding. As I have said once before being a boilermaker/welder once upon a time myself I can honestly say that Curtis is on par with his welding skills as I used to be, as I used to take pride in all my work n loved to do the odd bit of lathe work. My favorite welding was Aluminum + Stainless Tig + heavy plate stick n mig welding. Watching these videos puts me in calm tranquil place lol. Almost forgot to add love the birds in the vids also.
Hi Curtis, Karen. Have you ever imagined that your videos will be watched all over the world? Stunning work as always, and I love your little bird ZOO, lol :)
Another GREAT video from the CEE team. I was quite impressed that Karen knew the tool centre height was wrong. One of the first things I learnt at TAFE 45 years ago when doing the machining section of my fitting and turning course.
Not a wasted motion Kurtis, a pleasure to watch. I get a kick out of Kurtis and the birds, cursing them one minute for being noisy and the next feeding them. Obviously a true animal lover he is :-).
It always amazes me that there is such precision, yet a lot of the processes are blindly machining/honing, then checking manually, little bit more, checking, little bit more, done, with 0.005mm precision 😀
The best trade school ever created is now available for everyone on RUclips. It far exceeds the machinist trade school I attended in 1955 after my service in Korea. Kurtis is one of the very best teachers of this important trade.
Your business model is very rare these days. When something leaves your shop, your name is on it. It has to be perfect. Wish I could trust the trades here like that.
Buenos días, ¿cómo están? Siempre espero los viernes para ver su excelente trabajo, y también el excelente trabajo de la Señorita de la cámara. Saludos desde México.
24:15 - 26:05 was some great capture and editing. I guess Kurtis did something too. 😅 Amazing stuff. You both always start my Fridays with a smile, thanks. An example of professionalism every week. PS: My goof's get excited hearing Homeless open packages. It makes their Friday morning a treat as well!
J'attendais avec impatience la deuxième vidéo, regardé avec un immense plaisir, toutes mes félicitations, car en France il n'y a pas beaucoup d'artisan de cette qualité !!
I'm so jealous of your parting ability curtis. It's the one thing i struggle with on my lathe. I'm just a farmer, so don't spend a lot of time machining, just impressive to watch. I learn every time i watch.
That was another great video. I love seeing that big hone in action and Karin was quite enamoured with George and his cohorts. We're really looking forward to seeing the creation of the piston and final assembly. Best wishes to you three from Bruce, Karin, Halgrim and Bella. We wish you a pleasant and joyful weekend.
Drinking whisky, listening to the rain lashing on the windows, watching someone on the other side of the planet machine metal. Am I living my best life of what!
I just love the swarf from the button inserts, it's kinda pretty. But I also like the long pig-tails from the parting tool as well. How long to clean up after a job like this? And another great video is done, well done to both of you! Excellent editing as always Karen.
I'm not a machinst, just an around the house do-it-yourselfer. I enjoy watching Kurtis. The reason is when you do something do it correctly. Also enjoy the birds and the dog.
So much in this 'simple' rebuild... thanks for taking us through it with you. I appreciate the explanations along the way; had no idea about Hitachi designing their cylinders with relief and sacrificial metal at the stationary end...it makes so much sense! Today's vid is a tour d'force!
I love your work! Your wife does great camera and editing! I think homie was wondering where his package was and went to search it out 😂 love the birds !
As someone who has tons of cylinders on various pieces of equipment I find this very interesting. Building and repairing cylinders is so tedious, great video.
While I am not in any way a machinist, I really enjoy watching your videos and the tools that you use. I often wonder where you learned all the skills your customers definitely value. I myself work on cars and do some welding. I do work at a place that builds huge industrial compressors and there is a lot of welding and fabrication put into one of those. I program the automation controls that run the machines, so watching you work your machinery I zero in on the controls. I hope you have continued success.
Kurtis last week you were talking about sound changes caused by damage. Does an operator have to be familiar with that particular piece of equipment or can anyone with experience detect the damage from the sound it makes?
I just had the epiphany that both cuts for the steady rest are the dame diameter. I am sure others knew this already, but when you flipped the cylinder to cut the other end off, the lightbulb went on. Again, superb content.
Quality .... Thank You Kurtis and Karen! Quality Knowledge, Workmanship ... And Stunning Editing And Style of Vid ... No BS NO Montage BS with Crappy music .... just straight as a die. peace
Curtis, you truly know your stuff. Thank you for the great videos. I am only a hobby machinist and your videos are very much appreciated. Thank you sir.
I gotta say, I do love when a vid hits, because that's my cue to get the weekend started! it's 5pm, baby! Is it getting a bit warmer for you guys up there? Pretty sure we're already in summer in Melbourne 😂🤣 On ya mate
Its good to see how clean, tidy, and well lighted you keep your shop. I've seen other machine shops that are dark, dirty, and disorganized. Even your bird friends sing their approval from the rafters, ignoring the occasional cuss words they hear. Good on yer, mates.
The Big Finale for the big work!) By the way, i see that from one video to another, animal freelancers of CEE are increasing their numbers, are they doing good?)))
Thank you CEE for another fantastic machining video enhanced by the beautiful song of the Pied Butcher Bird. Kurtis the "bird and machining whisperer".
Karen you are on this job! Is that tool height wrong? Let’s see you on the lathe and Kurtis behind the camera.🤠 You know way more about this machining gig than you think. By the way back in the 80’s the barrel was larger but we gave a Chinese guy a rag and said in you go. We slid him in and out by the ankles and said just hold your breath. Worked a treat and I can’t believe we did that either. It was only the once and he was ok 🤠
I’m addicted to these videos. I watch them as soon as they’re released. Watching those birds sing to you was a real treat. I love how much you value the animals, like that time you rescued that lizard that was stuck in a machine.
Thank you Curtis and Karen!!! The Kookaburra's are very loud for a small bird. LOL Hello from the U.S.A., Pacific Northwest, 50 miles North of Seattle, 100 miles from the Canadian Border. Thanks for sharing.. Sometimes I think the out-takes are the best part of the video's. The best is when Curtis catches a bad case of Hoof & Mouth. That's when it seems Curtis can't take his foot out of his mouth. You guy's are such great sport's to share the GOOD and the BAD and the UGLY. Ugly = Curtis take 57, wait what was I saying, okay Take 58, etc., LOL!!!
Сколько смотрю, каждый раз удивляюсь количеству инструментов и станков у этого человека. И внимательность к деталям при работе тоже вызывает восхищение.
Utterly amazing. surprising that it is cost effective to rebuild vs. always buying a new replacement. never realized how much engineering goes into something as "simple" as a cylinder.
Just got to say that these videos are truly amazing the professionalism, attention to detail, and the knowledge and ability that is on display here is not to be taken lightly! Just so awesome to witness a true Craftsman, rebuilding and refurbishing things instead of just swapping parts!
I have no clue why I find these video's so fascinating, but I do. Looking at the number of subs, I'm not the only one. The attention to detail in both the process and the camera work is just the best out there. Keep up the fine work!!
Curtis is AMAZING, I’m not even an engineer, or machinist (something I’ve always wanted to do) but I can see that this is the guy I would want to learn from ……TRUE professional!
Man, that's a nice machine. I forgot if he got a demonstrator deal or something special. Here in the U.S. those things sell for over $50k USD more than 10 years old without extensions. Can't imagine on the other side of the world, much less new. To my knowledge for at least 50 years there is one name in hones in the United States that every young future car enthusiast knows before ever rebuilding an engine. Sunnen, specifically the CK-10. Well, that and AMC, Berco, Kwik Way, Peterson, Rottler, Van Norman.... Makes me smile seeing Sunnen, CAT, John Deere etc in AUS videos.
Of all your work I think what most impresses me is your overall patience when dealing with problems. The second I can’t get screw out I’m cursing and throwing hammers at the wall.

You spun the barrel in the lathe, you didn't flip it.
Have an awesome weekend guys, cheers for the great content.
Anyone else unable to LEAVE a comment other than a reply????
As long as I got here so early tonight, I'll say this. As an engineer, I can't begin to tell you how much I respect Curtis' knowledge and capabilities. I don't give that out lightly. It's a rarity, and you're quite the rare breed. These videos are the highlight of my week. Thanks.

Thank you for not putting in any corny music as filler in your videos. Great editing
This is true!
This is the best machining channel on RUclips, no contest. Thank you Curtis and Karen!!!
Wow, thanks mate we appreciate it!

Like the homemade lifting bracket for the tailstock chuck. Simple and effective.

Love the addition of the clock, shows how long in real time things take to do, great addition idea.
I love the way you go and talk to the birds while you wait for metal to cool. The simple things in life.

Brazil is well represented as intelligent people such as your self enlighten the entire world 🌎
It makes me angry. He says that 30 minutes of welding was needed at 20:00, but he only weld for a few seconds in the video! Nobody can weld that fast
And there is NO FOOTAGE of the welding at 30:08 …. How do we know if he even did the welding???
Cheers Curtis and Karen for my Friday night fix.From a very happy Scotsman living in the south o France who found you guys on youtube .
Your experience shows in little things like machining the steady bands down to the same diameter so you don't need to reset the steady when flipping the cylinder. A random guy like me might just machine them until clean and then lose time re-centering for a different diameter.

The honing machine is awesome and must be very handy not having to send work out. Sometimes the weld prep took longer than the welding, but we always made sure it was done right. Great post. Thanks Kurtis, Karen and of course Homey 👍
Curtis my dad was a tool and die maker for 25 years of his 49 year life. I know that if he could watch what you do he would be amazed at your journeyman skills in everything you do there. Your video assistant is excellent and the family pet is over the moon precious. Much love from Sparks, Nevada USA for what you do there.
Hi, from Sacramento, CA USA, love all the vids, incredible videography and incredible attention to detail. Keep it coming and more puppy shots please . 😊
I'm west of you in Sonoma County
Hey mate thanks so much for watching & commenting!
I’m in Woodland
Should I put on "It's a Small World" for us? 😀
Thanks to Karen for her great video recording n editing skills, especially the bloopers lol + big thanks for Homie doing his usual duties around the workshop n opening his surprise toys, and as always a pleasure watching someone like Curtis who takes great pride in his machining and welding. As I have said once before being a boilermaker/welder once upon a time myself I can honestly say that Curtis is on par with his welding skills as I used to be, as I used to take pride in all my work n loved to do the odd bit of lathe work. My favorite welding was Aluminum + Stainless Tig + heavy plate stick n mig welding. Watching these videos puts me in calm tranquil place lol. Almost forgot to add love the birds in the vids also.
Hi Curtis, Karen. Have you ever imagined that your videos will be watched all over the world? Stunning work as always, and I love your little bird ZOO, lol :)
hey mate, we honestly never expected our channel to grow as big as it has and to have so many supporters around the world!
You two a wonderful job making videos. I enjoy them and I’m a woodcarver thanks
Another GREAT video from the CEE team. I was quite impressed that Karen knew the tool centre height was wrong. One of the first things I learnt at TAFE 45 years ago when doing the machining section of my fitting and turning course.
que perfección 👌👌muy buen trabajo 👏👏
Not a wasted motion Kurtis, a pleasure to watch. I get a kick out of Kurtis and the birds, cursing them one minute for being noisy and the next feeding them. Obviously a true animal lover he is :-).
Your attention to detail is beyond reproach. Always a blast to watch.
It always amazes me that there is such precision, yet a lot of the processes are blindly machining/honing, then checking manually, little bit more, checking, little bit more, done, with 0.005mm precision 😀
O sorriso da Karen, o canto do passaro e o profissionalsmo do torneiro tudo é lindo neste video
The best trade school ever created is now available for everyone on RUclips. It far exceeds the machinist trade school I attended in 1955 after my service in Korea. Kurtis is one of the very best teachers of this important trade.
Your business model is very rare these days. When something leaves your shop, your name is on it. It has to be perfect. Wish I could trust the trades here like that.
Buenos días, ¿cómo están? Siempre espero los viernes para ver su excelente trabajo, y también el excelente trabajo de la Señorita de la cámara.
Saludos desde México.
I love the circling white dots ... Too funny ... Sorry Curtis ... Thanks for sharing ... Stay safe and well ...
24:15 - 26:05 was some great capture and editing. I guess Kurtis did something too. 😅 Amazing stuff. You both always start my Fridays with a smile, thanks. An example of professionalism every week.
PS: My goof's get excited hearing Homeless open packages. It makes their Friday morning a treat as well!
Watching Curtis work is one of the most relaxing things to watch on RUclips. 🎉
Kurtis, you make everything appear really easy - a true Craftsman indeed - and a great pleasure to watch!
For some strange reason, the final blending pass of the honing area made me smile. Very satisfying!
J'attendais avec impatience la deuxième vidéo, regardé avec un immense plaisir, toutes mes félicitations, car en France il n'y a pas beaucoup d'artisan de cette qualité !!
Cutting edge engineering you are getting replies from all over earth 🌍
I'm so jealous of your parting ability curtis. It's the one thing i struggle with on my lathe. I'm just a farmer, so don't spend a lot of time machining, just impressive to watch. I learn every time i watch.
That was another great video. I love seeing that big hone in action and Karin was quite enamoured with George and his cohorts. We're really looking forward to seeing the creation of the piston and final assembly. Best wishes to you three from Bruce, Karin, Halgrim and Bella. We wish you a pleasant and joyful weekend.
Drinking whisky, listening to the rain lashing on the windows, watching someone on the other side of the planet machine metal. Am I living my best life of what!
How goods that 👌
Good one Karen - great editing created an interesting video, good job picking up the center height issue and, "mint" that came out of nowhere!
So appreciate the engineer, such a therapeutic and admirable video
I just love the swarf from the button inserts, it's kinda pretty. But I also like the long pig-tails from the parting tool as well. How long to clean up after a job like this? And another great video is done, well done to both of you! Excellent editing as always Karen.
I'm not a machinst, just an around the house do-it-yourselfer. I enjoy watching Kurtis. The reason is when you do something do it correctly. Also enjoy the birds and the dog.
*Cutting Edge Engineering Australia* Bravo well done, always a pleasure to watch, thanks for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
So much in this 'simple' rebuild... thanks for taking us through it with you. I appreciate the explanations along the way; had no idea about Hitachi designing their cylinders with relief and sacrificial metal at the stationary end...it makes so much sense! Today's vid is a tour d'force!
I love your work! Your wife does great camera and editing! I think homie was wondering where his package was and went to search it out 😂 love the birds !
As someone who has tons of cylinders on various pieces of equipment I find this very interesting.
Building and repairing cylinders is so tedious, great video.
Really strange. I was going ask if Karen ever catches "mistakes" or "something's just not right", and there she goes and does it! 🙂
While I am not in any way a machinist, I really enjoy watching your videos and the tools that you use. I often wonder where you learned all the skills your customers definitely value. I myself work on cars and do some welding. I do work at a place that builds huge industrial compressors and there is a lot of welding and fabrication put into one of those. I program the automation controls that run the machines, so watching you work your machinery I zero in on the controls. I hope you have continued success.
Kurtis last week you were talking about sound changes caused by damage. Does an operator have to be familiar with that particular piece of equipment or can anyone with experience detect the damage from the sound it makes?
I just had the epiphany that both cuts for the steady rest are the dame diameter. I am sure others knew this already, but when you flipped the cylinder to cut the other end off, the lightbulb went on. Again, superb content.
Great video and words to live by… Always keep an eye on your stones.
1:49 Hilarious! Your CEE notepad says "F*CKING MUNTED" on it! HAHA!
Haha good spotting!
Quality .... Thank You Kurtis and Karen! Quality Knowledge, Workmanship ... And Stunning Editing And Style of Vid ... No BS NO Montage BS with Crappy music .... just straight as a die.
peace
Another brilliant video from CEE waited a week for part two,but well worth it.
Curtis, you truly know your stuff. Thank you for the great videos. I am only a hobby machinist and your videos are very much appreciated. Thank you sir.
Love watching you guys 🔥🔥
The alignment of that head has to be spot on, no room for error there...
I gotta say, I do love when a vid hits, because that's my cue to get the weekend started! it's 5pm, baby! Is it getting a bit warmer for you guys up there? Pretty sure we're already in summer in Melbourne 😂🤣 On ya mate
Hey mate! We're getting pretty warm sunny days now, nights are still a bit fresh but summer is definitely on the way 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I swear Bunning's already has Christmas sales up, and that's better than any calendar to know summer is coming 😂
@@caffienatedchaos If you want to know when spring is about to arrive, just look for the fruit mince pies in the supermarkets.
Curtis sure knows his stuff.... master mechanic is an understatement.
Another CEE masterpiece, Kurt & Karen
Its good to see how clean, tidy, and well lighted you keep your shop. I've seen other machine shops that are dark, dirty, and disorganized. Even your bird friends sing their approval from the rafters, ignoring the occasional cuss words they hear. Good on yer, mates.
The Big Finale for the big work!) By the way, i see that from one video to another, animal freelancers of CEE are increasing their numbers, are they doing good?)))
The finale is next week with the piston being engineered. Have a great weekend MM.
Thank you CEE for another fantastic machining video enhanced by the beautiful song of the Pied Butcher Bird. Kurtis the "bird and machining whisperer".
Karen you are on this job!
Is that tool height wrong?
Let’s see you on the lathe and Kurtis behind the camera.🤠
You know way more about this machining gig than you think.
By the way back in the 80’s the barrel was larger but we gave a Chinese guy a rag and said in you go.
We slid him in and out by the ankles and said just hold your breath.
Worked a treat and I can’t believe we did that either. It was only the once and he was ok 🤠
I’m addicted to these videos. I watch them as soon as they’re released.
Watching those birds sing to you was a real treat. I love how much you value the animals, like that time you rescued that lizard that was stuck in a machine.
Thank you Curtis and Karen!!! The Kookaburra's are very loud for a small bird. LOL Hello from the U.S.A., Pacific Northwest, 50 miles North of Seattle, 100 miles from the Canadian Border. Thanks for sharing.. Sometimes I think the out-takes are the best part of the video's. The best is when Curtis catches a bad case of Hoof & Mouth. That's when it seems Curtis can't take his foot out of his mouth. You guy's are such great sport's to share the GOOD and the BAD and the UGLY. Ugly = Curtis take 57, wait what was I saying, okay Take 58, etc., LOL!!!
Сколько смотрю, каждый раз удивляюсь количеству инструментов и станков у этого человека. И внимательность к деталям при работе тоже вызывает восхищение.
Utterly amazing. surprising that it is cost effective to rebuild vs. always buying a new replacement. never realized how much engineering goes into something as "simple" as a cylinder.
Your knowledge and unparalleled skills are exceptional, obviously a man with a passion to do the job right, I know far too many who don't 👍👏
Just got to say that these videos are truly amazing the professionalism, attention to detail, and the knowledge and ability that is on display here is not to be taken lightly! Just so awesome to witness a true Craftsman, rebuilding and refurbishing things instead of just swapping parts!
I have no clue why I find these video's so fascinating, but I do. Looking at the number of subs, I'm not the only one. The attention to detail in both the process and the camera work is just the best out there. Keep up the fine work!!
Curtis is AMAZING, I’m not even an engineer, or machinist (something I’ve always wanted to do) but I can see that this is the guy I would want to learn from ……TRUE professional!
Man, that's a nice machine. I forgot if he got a demonstrator deal or something special. Here in the U.S. those things sell for over $50k USD more than 10 years old without extensions. Can't imagine on the other side of the world, much less new. To my knowledge for at least 50 years there is one name in hones in the United States that every young future car enthusiast knows before ever rebuilding an engine. Sunnen, specifically the CK-10. Well, that and AMC, Berco, Kwik Way, Peterson, Rottler, Van Norman.... Makes me smile seeing Sunnen, CAT, John Deere etc in AUS videos.
Of all your work I think what most impresses me is your overall patience when dealing with problems. The second I can’t get screw out I’m cursing and throwing hammers at the wall.
