Boom Extension Cylinder Tear Down! | Franna Crane Project | Part 12
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2024
- Could this cylinder get any longer!? We’re making use of all our workshop space for this tear down! In Part 12 of our Franna crane project we are disassembling this vital component, the boom extension cylinder, before diagnosing any issues and then rebuilding it better than before. Watch the transformation as we tear down, inspect, and replace worn parts. A couple of stubborn bearings means we have to get out the oxy torch and do some flame cutting before we complete the cylinder by sandblasting away all the old paint and rust and giving it a fresh coat of paint to make it like new! Stay tuned for the next Franna crane project video or catch up on all the previous videos below 😎👇

They just love getting emails so everyone your ideas for the new Franna paint scheme to the office ASAP.
No paint drip this time. Satisfyin.
"Hang-on you've got black stuff on your nose."
Response *tasty*
Honestly, I could not pick any single part of the video out as being better than the rest. I think it is so fascinating and a perfect example of watching an expert ply his trade. 👍

Most RUclips creators are having to trim their content down to 12-15 minutes so they can hold the attention of their viewers. I would wager that this channel is one of the very few where viewers watch every last minute of content. I think that speaks volumes about both the quality of the production from Karen and the quality of the work and content from Curtis. You guys always put together compelling projects and we especially love the outtakes and bloopers!
I wholeheartedly agree
Try andrew camaratas chanell or jesse muller same as this one very entertaining
So true. Genuinely hard to find anything else of comparable depth and quality on YT
I intake the outakes
What about 😢the dog he does a good job to
This one of those one-in-a-thousand channels even among the big channels. Curtis is really good at what he does and Karen's camera work and editing is top-notch. Likeable people and they treat the cute doggo and the wild crows with such kindness. I bet a lot of people never thought they'd one day be religiously watching the refurbishment of a crane boom cylinder.
thanks for the kind words & support!
copy that.
Truth right there.
Couldn't said it better myself.
Yes, you both give so much extra effort to share your projects with us all. Thank you for the must see content, no matter what you are repairing, building, or sharing.
Karen, The quality of your filming and editing is excellent. The pace and storytelling is just superb.
Yay, thank you!
I liked the part showing how you set up camera on the excavator for us to enjoy full picture of sandblasting area, Thank you @@CuttingEdgeEngineering
I came here to say this! Totally agree, fantastic filming attention to detail
That crane is getting so much love. But can we just take a moment to appreciate how much of an MVP that forklift is!
There is nothing on Netflix, or the 5 other streaming services I pay for, that is more compelling to watch than this crane series. I’m totally hooked!
My favorite series/channel on the internet also!
I’m looking forward to it being done so that I can go back through & binge it.
me too
“Hooked” I see what you did there. 😀
Very well done and that air blaster is fantastic and made that shaft looking fantastic. Are you going to air blast the crane body as well to rid it of rust and old paint? Your videos are very enjoyable, watching you work, and when you run into situation, you work it out!
That o-ring to slide the other o-ring to protect it from the pick was pretty slick!
Yes, I also was very impressed by that little bit of engineering voo-doo.
I got so excited when I saw the sandblaster coming out!
Watching Kurtis remove those bearings with an oxy cutter is yet another example of a guy who has obviously played this particular game of silly buggers before and won. The dude is a feckin’ ARTIST. Well played mate, very well played indeed. 🤟🏻
Surgical.
Also, things I’d like to see: Karen wrapping up the bloopers with a cuss count. Something along the lines of “We had 132 f*#cks, 15 c#@ts, 3 b£&st@rds, 2 @r3h0les and a w@nk3r. So, a pretty uneventful afternoon all round.” It’d be a great way to get demonetised so probably not a good idea but it would make me laugh my bollocks off. 😁
Wicked skills with the gas axe.
I love how your massive sandblasting unit is a portable sandblaster when you have a forklift.
Everything becomes portable if you have a Forklift
@@unserfaa big enough forklift 😂
This look "so easy" for the sandblasting that.... I'm really excited (like a child prior Christmas) to discover the video of the crane chassis sandblasting. For me it is 100% sure now, with this so powerful unit and all the rebuilt already done (ie: this boom cylinder dismount) it will sandblast everything in the crane now to get out of the "coal mine washing plan rust" and have a good paint unit without any rust parcel. 🤩
Forklift certification makes miracles .
How much of the crane chassis would remain after sandblasting?? 🤣
I just love the outtakes. It's so 'normal'. Two people trying to make something and having all the normal problems and exasperating moments we all do because they're... just human. Way too much media is so over produced these days. I love that my kids are like "they make awesome stuff!!" and I'm like "wait for the end". Then they see you both go through the same struggles everyone does. Good for you for showing it. Its a big part of what makes this channel special.
Yes I agree with you, normal people, my plan is to stay as normal as possible as long as I can, at least until I die
I don't know what it is about Curtis's videos, but I watch them in full every time I come across them in my feed. I have nothing to do with welding or heavy machinery, but I love watching him do his job. I just slap the video on one of my screens and poke away at my sysadmin stuff. Thanks a lot for the hours of entertainment, Curtis!
This Franna crane series is an edge of the seat experience. Will Kurt be able to put all the bits and pieces, nuts and bolts back together again. Putting the videos up for view on Fridays is such a tonic for a working man--at the end of a working week there's nothing better than a few beers, a pizza and a CEE video. Keep up the good work!
i’m fairly certain that this project will be many times better than factory when it’s completed
That's like us wondering "omg, will the hero survive and succeed?" while watching a movie - except d'uh, *of course* he will... ;)
Well who the F*#@ knows. I’ve been asking when part 13 will be available and how many parts are there to the Franna Crane restoration - I’ve been asking for weeks. I love the show but ffs, please answer my message.
Watching Kurtis’ attention to detail at every step is hypnotic. Every bit of that crane, down to the air in the tires will be better than new when he’s finished the project!
Still get the pingfuckit clip though.
One of my favorite things about these videos is just the fact that Curtis knows what he's doing, every step of the way. It's a pleasure to watch someone so competent in what they do.
I'm mechanically inclined, but the stuff he does makes me anxious haha. I'm glad it's him doing it and not me.
Finally something on this crane that wasn’t completely worn out or trashed
Aside from educating and entertaining us this whole series will serve as an excellent reference manual for anyone working on a similar crane. On a sidenote, it’s nice to see that the audience engagement is driving. The algorithm to have gained Curtis and Karen an additional 3000 subscribers since last week let’s all make sure that we’d like share and comment and keep those numbers rising. content is good as this is hard to come bye
My favorite part of CEE videos is watching Kurtis solve problems with the simplest solution possible. He possesses a cleverness that never fails to teach me, in some manner that the simplest solution is usually the best one. I’m very much looking forward to the rest of the Franna crane series, and I thank you both for the amazing videos. Keep up the great work!
As a mechanic I appreciate the attention to details. That is the difference between quality work and a hack job.
I just rewatched the roller support video, so fun watching you used them here. Really like the mix of tech used, from high end sand blaster to a plastic bag to keep a puking cylinder in check.
And the bit where Karen was risking her life climbing equipment finding a good spot to film the sandblasting just shows the dedication! ;)
Thanks both!
That bag trick was actually freaking smart🤣🤣
Hallo from Germany Niedersachsen 👋
Love your passion
In Germany we say : Keine halben Sachen machen!
Great job❤
The best moment - Kurtis taking the red pipe with the look "I'm done asking you rusty bastard!"
I’m watching this series and every time at the end I’m like damn why isn’t there more that 50 minutes wasn’t long enough. Love the chemistry between you two. Every step is detail oriented but at the same time not boring at all. You two definitely reserve the praise you are receiving. It is a blast to watch every second of the videos. Once the series is finished the crane will probably be in as good of a condition as when it rolled off the factory floor if not better.
As a restorer myself I am enjoying every second of the Franna Crane project! Love Kurtis's skills and love Karen's commentary 😄
When you started pulling that cylinder apart I didn't think it was ever going to end, that was an incredibly long cylinder but you managed to get it apart and reseal it, then sandblast it and put an awesome paint job on it that looked like it had never been painted before. This crane is going to be better than it ever was when it was new. Can't wait for the next step in the rebuild.
Good evening from Tokyo, Japan. After a day in the shop, it’s nice to sit down and watch you tackle the latest episode of your Franna crane overhaul. It’s such a pleasure to watch your careful and methodical workmanship. I’m enjoying a hot cup of green tea and some rice crackers. Please take care.... cheers.
Was actually both surprised and impressed at the very modest expense for new seals. They can be absolutely ridiculous in price, but even at twice that price, it would be cheap peace of mind considering how much work is involved getting the damn thing out! Love your work CEE....
My absolute favourite channel on any platform. You could put out a 10 hour episode and I would watch it. Just brilliant. Thank you.
Kurtis proves once more, that "common sense" isn't really a thing. Learned skill is. The amount of creative and abstract thought he employs, really compliments his precision and technical knowledge. He isn't intimidated by new challenges, like many of us might be. Just the number of problems he had to solve getting the boom apart last time - that oversized cylinder today, would cause some to throw up their hands and walk away. Muttering: "there's no way... Just no way". Great video skills from Karen too!
The overhead crane would have to be the most under-rated piece of equipment in your workshop. It has featured in nearly all of your videos, and I wonder how you would have coped without it. Love all of your content, always a pleasure to watch a true professional
Sky hooks are readily available - suspended from flying pigs and unicorns - old git, UK
This is turning into one of the most complex and interesting projects I have seen on this or other channels. We get cylinders, booms, engines, hydraulics, chassis, drive train, and eventually sheet metal I suspect.. Pretty much something for everyone.
Salvage channels spend time bringing back old iron to functionality and usually stop there. Sometimes they will do some painting.
Very few would devote the time, energy, and resources to doing what amounts to a ground up restoration for a tool of this magnitude.
THANKS!!!
What an amazing spectrum of talents Curtis has. I never thought I would spend a significant amount of time ...on a Saturday night! ... watching the refurb of a long hydraulic cylinder. The video skills ... and editing skills, that Karen possesses really adds to the 'watchability' of their videos. Well done to all the crew and cast (inc. dog and birds) of CEE ... keep 'em coming.
Really enjoying this project.
Reality is that the crane will be 'Better than New'.
Thank You Karen for the longer video, two hours would be OK for myself and 99.999% of your viewer's.
After the TLC he gave it, that will be the best running Franna outside of a showroom.
Nothing like watching Kurtis play with his gland on a Friday morning. Have a great weekend guys.
Agreed. Also good to see the DIY protection job so he doesn't get wet when the rod spurts lubricant everywhere
@@heffatheanimal2200
His momma didn’t raise no fool.
cheeky bit of humor here
😂😂😂😂
I'd definitely rewatch this series once this machine is completed
Once completed Karen is planning on doing a mega compilation timelapse video of the entire build 😲
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringFranna Crane - The movie! This is awesome.
I am so going to do this. Send the wife and kids over to her sisters and have me a Franna binge night!
@@rildain76 - might have to be a Franna binge long weekend! 🙂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Well, I think that is a nice idee..
Never mis a episode from your channel, sometimes a day after, but most of the time friday morning here in the Netherlands, where we have a little snow at the moment..
Greetings from Jinny, Madame électricienne.
The outtakes are what tell the true tale of how many attempts to seat a seal it takes. All mechanics know the truths behind your vids and that is how we can appreciate the incredible talent you have. Keep it going!
Oh man it was so nice to see the seal blooper, Lol. As a hydraulics mechanic myself it's nice to know that Kurtis is a mere mortal just like the rest of us.
This has got to be one of the nicest cylinders I've ever seen you service. Credit to Franna: This machine has had an incredibly rough life, and it has held up very well.
Love the Rapid Blast system. Looks like Kurtis gets a workout holding the hose in check. Camera positioning was excellent. Karen should be nominated for a RUclipsy Award. 😇
My heart stopped for a second when you went to grab that worn down brass screw. Like a razor blade lol😅
One of the guys at work did that, clean to the bone on both fingers, and over multiple times also. He didn't learn things real fast.
Good afternoon Kurtis and Karen, my name is Brian. I came across your channel about 7ish months ago. I began watching many of your videos, and watching your personality, demeanor, work ethic, attention to detail has brought back so many wonderful memories from my younger years growing up. My best friend was nicknamed Shades for his almost continuous wearing of aviator mirror sunglasses... I think the only time he took them off was to sleep literally. Shades was going to school to become a machinist, at 16 he was already a machinist apprentice, with an incredibly bright future ahead. He was intense, perfectionist, a work ethic and stamina that was almost unmatched. The two of you are so similar it truly is mind bending, each possesses almost the exact same sense of humor, mannerisms, you both move and stand very similar... to the point the first time I heard laughing, it was like hearing a voice that I haven't heard in nearly 35 years. The only true noticeable difference, you are probably 5-6 inches taller but the build is incredibly similar, and Shades had a voice deeper.than my own bass baritone. Sadly Shades lost his mom to cancer at a very young age, and battled his own deacons for a long time. My best friend, my younger brotjer from anither mother took his life at the age of 17, my son actually carries his name. Thank you for the incredible and amazing work that you do, and most especially thank you for the wonderful memories that you bring back, every Friday. I pray that you and your Karen have a most blessed and wonderful weekend. Mayhem🙏💜
That just sucks about Shades, it just sucks.
So sad to hear. Stay strong my friend, light a candle on his ( would been ) birthday
@@alisciamarotta3888 Yes ma'am, every single year. It's hard to believe that he would have been 53 this year. Thank you for your kind words, I pray that you have a most blessed and wonderful weekend as well.🙏💜
@@mayhemsmaster5050 Thank you.
@@alisciamarotta3888 🙏💜
That bearing removal without destroying the zylinder shows your skills. Very nice :)
As mesmerized as I always am at the great teamwork of you two...I was spellbound and in awe watching the scenes of the surgical torch work. Most of us watching have used a cutting torch at one time or another, but what you accomplished so easily and surgically is a skill that surpasses 99.9% of everyone out here. Karen's filming and editing creative skills are just as surgical and precise and spot on. GREAT GREAT team. 😍 CEE ROCKS !!!
Don
I hope you see this, I have never used a cutting torch but the master makes it look easy and that comes from extensive knowledge and experience and I might add he loves his work, that's plain to see. I operate a telescopic forklift in the construction industry and have been doing so for nearly 20 years, until I found CEE I never knew I had any attraction to engineering but now I do, the content Karen Kurtis and Homey put out is second to none, I'm hooked.
Hey Don! Glad you enjoyed seeing the torch work. It takes some practice to get that precise, but it's all thanks to years of messing up before getting it right! And you're absolutely right about Karen - her editing is seriously next-level. We're still learning and growing, but your support keeps us pushing forward. Thanks for being with us on this journey!
@@martinmeasures829 I'm used to use a cutting torch in my younger years, and I can tell you, it needs practice.
The first times you messed it up like a volcano.
I like the way Kurtis do it, it is the way I should do it if I must do it...
I used to cut bearings off with a 3 inch death wheel. Cut them straight across the race, then pop them off. The reason is because you don't have to buy a bunch of bearing race drivers when you can make your own. Weld a cross piece onto the race, then afix a piece of round stock perpendicular to the cross piece and boom, you have a bearing driver. The gap from the cut ensures that the race doesn't get stuck while driving the new bearing into place.
If I didn't need that size race, then yeah, a gas ax is the thing. You get good after a while. Okay, most people get good at it.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering
A person shouldn’t stop learning until they’re dead, then you can quit learning.
I love it guys...it doesn't feel like there have been 12 videos of this crane, but here we are. Very entertaining...you guys are great.
Aren't your blue stands just freaking awesome?? So proud of your quality work!! Cheers!! **holds up CEE mug full of coffee**
Thank you so much for letting us enter your fantastic workshop and letting us participate in your work! TOP!!!

Am I the only one who gets immense satisfaction of seeing rusty parts looking brand new at the end of the videos? There is something I just love about seeing things come back to life!
you’re not the only one who thinks like that
Most people won’t even go that far with it, but you Curtis are not most people. Truly a Master Craftsman!❤
I always enjoy the mechanical content. In this video, the double screen shot of the hammer blows at one end while also showing the part separating at the other end was great.
This crane is rapidly becoming the Crane of Theseus! xD
ETA: for real tho, this has become a full-on restoration at this point, and I'm here for it. I hate it when I see people half-ass things, and you're doing the opposite of that. It's clear that, by the time you're done, that crane is going to be as good as it ever was. It's very satisfying to see tools brought back to their original level.
i have a feeling that the Franna Crane is going to be many times better than it was from the factory when Kurtis is done with restoring it
Can't start my Friday without some Big Franna Energy
😂😂Using the side shift on the F.L.T. to put the boom back in. And the tines or forks 🍴 😂😂❤❤🎉🎉
All that kept coming to mind watching that piston cylinder come out was "refitting is the reverse of removal". What a job thats gonna be!
Good on ya Curtis!! As for getting that rod out, “Gentle tenacity, or shear bloody mindedness” will always get you there. Cheers
Coffee Kurtis & Karen in the morning. Awesome start to a wintery Scottish morn. Take care & stay safe.
Like a shot it the arm .... Another disciplined, methodical and systematic breakdown. Kurtis definitely has a stringent work ethic.
I'm hooked.
Agree!!!
I third the motion😅
The discipline is gone, we all heard kurtis say a bad word😂
@@frank03s Haha yup! He was a naughty boy.
i’m absolutely impressed with Kurtis’ work ethic and his dedication to any project he’s working on
I think we should all appreciate the sacrifice the Clean rags drum made, giving up all it knew for a noble cause
I'm glad someone else caught the "clean rags" label and wondered if it was just repurposed or if it had been used as a catch can for a while without the label removed.
Just so amazed at how easy you make it all look Kurtis... and then I watch the outtakes. 😆
This crane is going to be bloody beautiful. Well deserved major bit of kit for such hard work and dedication.
No Friday is complete without some awesome CEE action. 😁
Your forklift certainly earns its money. You use it like another machine tool, but mobile. Doesn't it ever get jealous of all the attention you lavish on your cranes? Perhaps it should start getting its own viewer mail. Another stupendous vid - thanks!
Seeing homey being such a happy boy every week is exactly the chicken soup my soul needs.
Every machine shop needs a safety inspector.
This video is a great showcase for tools that Kurtis has made for himself. The Rollers. The V blocks in the first few minutes alone.
In Brazil it's 4:14 in the morning, I just got home from work, I take a shower and there's a fantastic video from the best RUclips channel. Thanks for the world entertainment. Love you
There might be a lot of cussing when the camera is stopped but I'm so impressed with how creative kurtis has to be with these technical challenges.
A lot of people would resort to big hammers and torches when things are stuck.
definitely - very professional
Ah, he did resort to the torch when things got stuck… 🙄
@@teeanahera8949 Yeah, it is all about knowing when the torch is OK and is the appropriate action vs. just being a 200 pound gorilla who beats the snot out of everything causing damage.
@@CGT80I'm sure Kurtis has taken a short break to step away from something totally frustrating and rethink it. Homely probably enjoys that also.
It was good to see Homelss making his standard opening cameo again.
I used to tell the F.N.G's at work; try not to "F" things up more than they already are! Getting that gland out without "F'in" anything up was masterfull, my hats off to you, sir!
I can't believe how lucky you have been with all the rusty threaded fasteners coming lose on this project in all the previous episodes. Just now when I thought there was no way you were getting the end of that cylinder loose, there you go again!!! This teardown and rebuild is so exciting to me! Keep up the great work and content. And best of luck with all the future rusty nuts and bolts. From De Soto, Kansas USA
Woodward Oklahoma here yeah I don’t miss an episode & I go back & watch it again 2-4 months later
This hydraulic cylinder took a lot more work to remove than changing the seals, blasting and painting. Congratulations Kurtis!
Greetings from Brazil.
Up until now your entire crane project has consisted of taking things apart. Congratulations on being able to put something back together again! Can't wait to see the next step in the series.
Only 5 minutes in and I just had to put a comment to compliment you Karen on the videography, not just technically good but the choice of shots, and close ups looking just where my curiosity wants to go.
You have obviously learnt a lot while filming Kurtis to capture so much without needing direction. I am sure you can spot things before he does more often now, like trapped cables possibly 😁
Yes Karen is awesome!
I loved the climb up on the excavator for the "aerial " shot
Feels like you’re finally catching a break on this project. I was totally prepared for the cylinder to need a full repair as well.
Good for you. Go team Curtis.
You're going to be able to take this crane to the fair & get # 1 blue ribbon best-in-show awards.
Way to go, Curtis! Excellent job & a perfect example of how useful the new blaster is going to be for your business. Here, here!!!
As a old vehicle restorator, this is prime example on how to deal with old parts.
You disasemble. Clean. Sandblast . Repaint.
Those parts are as new afterwards. No hiden crap
Awesome ! Keep up the good job !
Old school mechanic ....
Once again, thanks for having us along for this ride. Highlight of the week!
Why do I get the feeling every time I watch one of your videos I feel like I'm in school? The way you break down and explain what you're doing and how you do it is incredible also the kind of tools you use, both you and Karen are tops in what you do.
Looking forward for Part 13
I'm always a little disappointed when an episode comes to an end. But the disappointment is quickly replaced by anticipation for the next one.
I loved how easily those new seals went together, then watching the outakes was like "oh, yep, that makes more sense, there was no way it was that simple" 😂
Homeless is the most “well endowed” canine I’ve ever seen. He’s greatly diminished any sense of manhood I might have had and left me feeling totally inadequate. Thank you very much Homey.
Curtis did say "he has massive balls and a cock like a ripper shank!" 😁
At this rate you’re gonna have a brand new secondhand crane by the end of this series and I love it! Keep up the awesome videos and I’ll catch you again on part 13 of the Frana Crane series.
you’re not the only one, and i agree with you about the Franna Crane being practically brand new when all is said and done
The absolute pride in the statement….”my hood works!” Is why I love this channel. 🤣🤣👍
14:40 Finally a solid proof that you really are in Australia, birds can fly, you know. Have a nice weekend!
Right? My brain was like, oh a deer. Wait, what, wrong continent 😅
These outtakes are gold
Glad to see CCE is following my old school Grandpa machinist/mechanic's mantra of always change out any bearings or seals that you have access to as they are cheap compared to the nose bleed of tearing it down again when they fail. The three things that make for a good paint job are preparation, preparation, and of course preparation.
They can be inspected. Thats what i would have done with these things. Pack them with grease and send them. They turn slow and can sometimes be expensive
Glad to hear that you brother was able to help with the Franna boom project. Itching for the next episode. Love the outtakes 😂👍
Another pointless comment to say: You guys are the best. Reliable (5pm AEST on the dot); interesting; informative; brilliant editing (including outtakes). All work; no fluff; nice people doing interesting stuff.
This is a good example of the benefits of preventative maintenance vs neglect and repair.
We need part 40 asap lol 😂
I love the franna build this is like a season on Netflix lol
Awesome work mate! That is one thing I hated rebuilding, hydraulic cylinders! This Franna is going to be epic!!
Hey mate! You're back again with a super thanks. You are far too generous! Cheers mate!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I’m going to pop in tomorrow and drop something off for you guys and a couple of treats for Homeless.
Hello again im gonna watch it until i fall in sleep.
I ushely fall asleep halfway through BigstackD!😆😆😆
Curtis uses that cutting torch like a flipping surgeon! If it was me, I would have cut halfway through the cylinder and set half the shop on fire! 😂
If there ever was a time to make the tired old Crocodile Dundee knife joke, this would have been it... :D Also, there are so many opportunities for double entendres with the cylinder repair videos, I've got to just admire that very little to none get to video! :D
This is so addicting to watch! ❤️ kurtis is a very intelligent and humble guy. Karen you must have so much patience to film all this! Great work CEE.
Kurtis took the “It can’t be stuck if it’s liquid” route! Haha, good job mate! Your videos surpass the standard RUclips video, it’s not just silly antics, it’s honest to god hard work, and it shows. Your viewer retention numbers should be really good. And a loyal dedicated fan base. All that to say, much love and respect! Have a great weekend!
at 10:37 thats a hell of a long rod you got there Curtis🤣
No one is going to ask "Is it in?"
🤣@@kenore4003
I'm less than a novice here, but this boom seems to be quite the piece of engineering. I find this one very interesting as I do most of your work. I appreciate your videos in that the length of each doesn't bother me as some other channels do. One big reason is that in an hour video, you don't feel the need to hear yourself talk for 58 minutes. When you have something to say, it's worth hearing. Thanks!
More machinist magic. Truly the highlight of my week. Your knowledge, skill and work ethic are inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have a RUclips channel that has my Ls swapped Miata build amongst other car related stuff. I do most of the video work myself but sometimes my wife helps. I think that Curtis's wife is a huge part of what makes these video so watchable. She has amazing camera skills and captures all the little things that make the whole so much more interesting to watch. I can really appreciate having such a supporting wife that's a team player and gets so involved.
Curtis uses that forklift like a multi tool - provides so many solutions to so many problems 😂
This crane is best love story since the Twilight saga.
