Making a NEW Excavator H Link! | Part 1 | Machining & Milling
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2023
- This excavator H Link or push link is worn out, it can’t be weld repaired so we’re going to make a new one! The H Link is for a Kobelco SK225SR 23 tonne excavator. In this part 1 video we show the step by step process of machining and milling the hollow bar for the H-Link bosses and prepping all of the plates for welding. We start by turning and boring the hollow bar on the lathe to suit the bushes before drilling and tapping holes for the grease in the milling machine. We also prepare the plates for welding by bevelling all of the edges using our BM-18 Portable bevelling machine.
Watch part 2 to see how we finish making this new H-Link! • Making a NEW Excavator...
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
- BM-18 Portable Bevelling machine

It is very obvious why you work for yourself- your commitment to quality is so incredibly high. I mean that in a good way and with the utmost respect for your expertise and craftsmanship. Most people would have bored out the old part, shoved in inserts, and pushed out the door. If anyone would undertake to fabricate one, it probably would be slapped together and look like hell. Maybe that is why you always have work. Proof that craftsmanship is not dead. My hat is off to you.
Cheers David really appreciate the great comment mate
Couldn't have said it any better myself 👍..it may end up being a little more expensive (maybe) but atleast u know you're getting the quality u paid for..as opposed 2 spending less and then having 2 end up getting them replaced a year or few months down the line
Curtis is exactly the kind of tradesman/journeyman that should be passing on his skill sets and values. For all the reasons you’ve listed.
Easy for me to say as CEE isn’t my business, but it would be a shame to not pass on these skills.
My $.02.
@@wills.7626 Totally agree. I guess that's why a lot of us watch this channel. Very much like EngelsCoachShop. Craftsmanship and integrity used to be commonplace. Now, not so much. My two cents...
@@wills.7626 But he is passing on his skill set. He's passing it through these detailed commentary and awesome videos they put out to the world.
Karen deserves an Oscar Award for her camerawork and editing.
I use to work on documentaries, including National Geographic. I have seen the "professionals" get it wrong. She has got some talent. She is able to be artistic, entertaining, and informative / educational all at the same time with her shots and edits; all while not going over the top and loosing the interest of viewers. I don't know how many times I have seen great, hard to get unique footage, just get butchered at the editing phase. You really can't train people to do that.
I think we have found the one Karen which henceforth we should strive to mold all Karens
Irony would have it so that Karen became the manager of all things 🥰
Or maybe Aussies are more upside down than we ever imagined ^^
That she does....
@@cenccenc946 As a Cinematographer who was the son of a machinist, oh, heck yes!! Absolutely agree.
CameraOp here is doing a great job, good clear vision, superb audio, few effects shots that could do with a little more polish to get to movie quality, but it was very easy to sit here and watch close on 40 minutes of a bloke doing all the prep work ready to assemble next time. Seen plenty of big gigs where good work by a camo was ruined in post, or where the editor could take well shot footage with all the basics correct, and export a compelling eyes-glued-to-the-screen piece. This is far closer to the latter then the vast majority of what's on commercial TV these days.
And for putting up with Curtis’s Fk ups 😂✌️🇬🇧
So many great old episodes to catch up on! This is the best therapy! Smart people doing real things!
That beveling machine is really cool.
I had a similar challenge once doing an internship at a company. The guy I was working for gave me a pallet full of medium sized parts that needed a bevel to be welded and he said to me "if you're lazy, you can take an angle grinder and do all of these by hand or if you are even lazier you can think of a smarter way to do the job"
So I tried doing it with an angle grinder and i decided "nope, this takes forever, this way I'm gonna spend the rest of my two weeks I'm in this company doing that" so I found myself an old maho, did some setup work with a few reference blocks to get some repeatability and i milled the bevels with a facing mill with 45 degree indexed inserts. The results were pretty good and i saved myself a ton of time.
It just hit me why I love your channel so much,no music!!Just the sounds of the machines and Kurtis' excellent dialogue.Karens camera work and post production is second to none, great stuff,thanks.
I agree but couldn't you have the wrong speed or the wrong cut sometimes so we can get a good old squirrel
I agree…it’s like AMSR+
Totally agree, no music. With my damaged ears I have trouble sorting voice from music.
As someone who has a high end custom woodworking shop , I watch a lot of shop related videos metal and wood , and Karen does it the best . Keep up the great work both of you .
100%
Building a new part instead of repairing an old one seems to be even more satisfying, or is it just me?
Eiither way, this was a very fun one, KKH. Thank you. :)
Again, may the whole gang have a great 'effing weekend!
@Johannes Fiftyeight To all as well
The amount of care and concern taking into editing and explaining why you do what you do is phenomenal keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Well, this is an interestingly fun project. Watching you build a whole new piece is a rarity and really lets us see what kinds of skills are needed to make something new from scratch. The quality of the materials used, and your skills are amazing. I can't wait to see what kinds of projects and work you'll turn out when you've got the other machines finished and working. This channel will hit 1m quickly. By far the best machining channel on RUclips.
I appreciate how you explain where the part fit and how it functions on the machine. You also explain things in an understandable way.
It's very convenient that he had a demonstration machine.
hey mate thanks for the great comment because sometimes it's hard for me to get my words out 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Looking at the out-takes you hit them right first time (not). Karen does a great job in the editing suite :-)
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering
You may have trouble getting the words out sometimes, but when you do get them out they are a good clear concise explanation of the task in hand.
Well done, very few of us are actually comfortable speaking in public. Sometimes I think you should leave your more “Australian” descriptions in the final edit as they are hilarious. 👍
Cheers, Graham.
@@hannahranga It was one he "prepared earlier." 😀
Being a fitter and turner,tool maker,a 5 year apprenticeship (trades person) ,pressure vessel welder ,the most interesting item i find in your videos are the videos themselves ,great detail and some thing i find fascinating,, the gem in your process`s are the person whom does these videos which i find really professionally done , been doing this sort of work 45 years ... nothing changed ... never had a quality video done ,, who ever does the filming here is the true pro here
The director, camerawoman and editor is Karen, Kurtis' wife. She is as exceptional at her work as Kurtis is at his. Have a great weekend Gaz.
That would be Karen. Producer,director, camera woman,sound woman,editor & last but not least dog carers. What a champion.
Totally agree mate!
Kurt is a fantastic all-around engineer, and his wife, Karen, is a fantastic videoographer and editer, never boring watching these great videos. I have the utmost respect for them both. 🏴🇬🇧
@@arffadailey8055 don't forget professional gigler😆
Your comment about the power tools on the lathe brought back memories of high school shop some 60+ years ago. Mr. Cashman yelling across the room at a classmate about to use a impact , “if that gun touches that machine you fail the class!”
I bet whoever questioned Curtis on not using power tools to open or close a chuck feel pretty stupid and likely never set foot near a machine shop
Best part is Kurtis describing what is being done along with Karen getting close to the work with video.
You two could make a video of slicing onions and it would be educational and entertaining.
Love your videos.
As to "slicing" - The swarf coming off the material is both *razor* sharp (albeit jagged, which makes it way worse) and really hot (starts yellowish around 200°C, the darkest blue is around 300°C and the more it get towards the blueish gray you're at 360°C plus). So it will both cut and fry you at the same time. And the coolant ain't too good for the wound either...
The long continuous swarf (for which the correct English term escapes me, "Fliesspahn" in German) are the bane in machining, since they can cut you up real fast without you initially noting it.
Back when I was learning that stuff (and never really working in that field afterwards), the machine shop head was *very* adamant to make everyone aware
of the dangers. (And don't get me started on not forgetting to pull the tool off the chuck after fastening a piece of material). We had numerous incidents at
that shop when noobs forgot to pull that thing, and it went flying across the shop. Friendly fire isn't.
Worst incident I got to know at that shop was after noticing a 2m^2 area of the shop floor looked like it had been patched up with new concrete.
That was when the machine shop head honcho told us that after an end of vocational training test, someone effed up and didn't correctly fasten
the chuck on the lathe after replacing it. And that thing went flying.... 🤕💀☠
Side note - has anyone beside me ever seen someone driving an honing cone (installed on a standing drill) through the back of his hand? That lucky bastard
managed to put it right between the bones of his middle and index finger of his left hand, so it only pushed them apart without crushing them. Will never forget
the stupid look on his face when he looked at it (he had en expression on his face like the T1000 at the end of T2, when being frozen up by the liquid N2 his
limbs started to crystalize and shatter...)
Hands down the bloopers is the highlight of the whole video! I enjoy the building processes immensely, but them bloopers are outstanding! Keep it up!
hahaha will do mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Please continue, I'm sure it's not to make fun or look stupid, just getting things in the most efficient non-confusing story telling order.
Really do appreciate all the work that goes into making these videos. It must be so much easier with Kurtis being 100% word perfect! 😆😆
HAH! lol thanks mate
Spot on explanation of why not to use anything but your hand on opening and closing chuck jaws. Machining and welding are unlike any other industry, where the faster you are almost always the quality of work is of poorer quality. You will never see an impatient machinist put out quality work.
I get drawn so deeply into your videos that every now and then I find myself blowing on the screen to clear away the chips. Always enjoy your work. You are a true craftsman - thank you!
Or squinting when the camera gets to close to the cutting action 😊
haha, the other day i said " I can almost smell the hot metal! " ... someone was overcooking food on the stove ...
@@terrenceolivido741LOL. Someone.
The perfect Friday breakfast, with Karen, Kurtis and Homey! I love seeing how that lathe and boring bar can chew through 5 mm of steel and leave a beautiful surface finish. Making a new H-link is something I cannot even imagine, so I'm really looking forward to part 2! Our gratitude to Karen for her perfect video work that we have come to enjoy and honour! Thanks to you both and to Homey from Bruce, Karin, Halgrim and Bella in Germany. Have a peaceful and pleasant weekend!
Hi Bruce & family! Yeah that monkula anti-vibe bar can take nice depths of cut, it definitely makes a boring job more enjoyable 😂 I think you're going to like part 2 when it all comes together! Thanks for the weekly support we always appreciate it 👍
Your customers are so lucky that you can make one of a kind parts. That new tool post works like magic.😊Homeless never messes up his lines.😂😂😂
Wow !! Karen, you are so amazing with the filming and, of course, the editing. It was an awesome job, Kurt. Your level of skill using every piece of equipment is to perfection awesome video, hommie is just hommie. Without him, it's not an entertaining video. Take care, thanks 😊
Thanks Jose! What a great comment to read 😁
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringsorry you have a shit name these days. LoL keep up the good work!
I spent most of my working life around machine tools. Many years later, I can smell the hot chips and the coolant. Fond memories of big and small machine tools and the monster machines that they built, as well as the skilled people that operated them.
What a cool project to work on. On the surface so simple, but all the intricate details you highlight make the journey of making this part thoroughly intriguing. Can't wait for part 2, thank you ☺️
glad you enjoyed this Part 1 video!
Fascinating!! Curtis should be teaching advanced engineering at Australia's top university!! Mrs Curtis should be directing Hollywood movies!🙂👍👍
You don’t get into this type of work to train people.
I’m in Cleveland Ohio, 3 things I enjoy when watching CEE videos. 1. The machining of course 2. Clarity, editing of videos, and consistency on following a project. 3. The explanations given as to why a particular component has failed, I find it to be educative!
I have to hand it to you, you learned what most don’t, attention to detail is key to success. That beveler cost you dearly, but I’d wager it has brought you work. People see your previous work and think “now this guy knows how to do it right”. Keep Homeless happy.
I work for Hershey and I love that one of Milton Hersheys sayings was "quality is the best advertisement that sells itself". Curtis also follows this mantra 🤘
Amazes me how you can match the round thing to the square thing by eye like that. Quite some skill.
What do I enjoy most? The sequencing. The planning of the order of operations to account for the need: to maintain concentricity/squareness, retain material to hold in chuck/mill vice, manage for things like shrinkage or weld-distortion.
Often explained but sometimes implicit: "Why did he do that? Oh now i get it ..."
thanks for the feedback mate and thanks for watching
I worked in machining metal for 42 years and I tapped holes the same way as you do. That chamfer tool looks great. Those HSS bits are the pits. Love the carbide inserts, lots of clearance on the cutting edge.👍I'm thinking your design will be better than the original. The Masters Touch. 😁 That bevel machine is slick. Well worth the money. 👍 The Safety Officer workout at the outdoor gym. 😂 Thanks Karen for all your extra touches in the video.
You know I love me some from-scratch builds. Shaping up nicely, man!
Cheers Brandon always appreciate the support 👍
Cracking job, I like the bevel machine, and those clamps you're using look very handy, I've aways used Carver clamps which are great but slow, those ones of yours seem to have a very quick clamping action. The needles are a nightmare I often use magnets inside a poly bag to try and catch them before they go everywhere. Looking forwards to part two
they are handy clamps, ratchet style so nice and quick 👍
As a cabinetmaker who has used a LOT of router bits, OIL the bearing on the cutter of the bevel machine to prolong the life of it.🙂
@@fredfred4086 This is Kurtis, he looks after his kit. How do you know he doesnt oil the bearing?? It might be/probably is a sealed bearing anyway due to the nature of the work its required to do. What youre doing is giving unwanted advice to somebody at the top of his game, while assuming he doesnt take care of his tools. As far as engineering goes, hes probably forgotten more than you know..........
Thank you team . Great job all of you. There is no place like home. I bet homeless wagged his tail like mad when Kurtis got home and Karen ❤ was happy.😊😊😊
I get great pleasure watching a Craftsman at work I was mentored by two elderly German Machinists was I served my apprenticeship my grandfather a machinist served two hitches maintaining all kinds of steam operated equipment in Panama when we were building the Panama Canal he also worked as a Lead machinist for many railroads around our country Bless you and keep up your Great Work.
My favourite part was seeing the beveller. It kind of reminds me of the wood router we had in school.
Hey guys, I just recently found your channel and have been binge watching all your videos. Gotta say you guys are awesome and show true skill in both your quality of work in the shop and the quality of videos......
Sending love from Canada
hey mate firstly welcome to the channel! And thanks very much for taking time to support the videos, we hope you keep enjoying them 😎👊
Haven’t even watched this video yet and I already know it’s gonna be good. One of my favorite channels to wait for every week. I love what you guys do. It’s awesome.
It is good - saw the uncut version yesterday via Patreon 👍
Hey mate thanks very much for the comment, glad you enjoy the channel!
@@kempy666999 legend 😎👊
Hello Kurtis, Jose from Puerto Rico. Just watching your craftsmanship is mesmerizing! The quality of your work is second to none. Australia should adopt the Japenese way of honoring craftmanship like yours and making you a national treasure. My only regret is not using my younger years to pursue your craft as I mentioned before in another video you made. When clients have to go through a waiting list and are okay with that, it shows the level of expertise and passion you put on your craft. That my friend, tells me that you've arrived! I wish I could travel to Australia just to shake your hand sir!
Am in awe of both of you and the quality of work into the machining/welding,along with the filming/editing
Thanks again for the time and effort gone into your feed
Yes Sir I have to agree with your comment, they do good work.
Their customers are lucky to have to have CEE available
Quality tooling just makes the job so much better.... The countersink cutter, bevelling machine etc must have cost a fortune, but I can see the savings they'll generate by doing the job properly each time. Nice interesting fabrication job!
I love the beginning and the end most, with all the parts in the middle being tied for first place!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
Keep on turning, and don't spare the bananas!! 😆😆😆
I just love the craftsmanship of your machining and the camera work of your wife. You both deserve an award for the talent you show in making of the videos. Always impressed and never disappointed. The slow motion of the cuttings are out of this world. WOW ! !
Hey mate thanks for the great comment we both appreciate it
The perfect Friday wind down for me, as soon as Kurtis explained theses aren't available, I was like "yes they're going to make one" thanks for sharing, hope you guys are keeping well
I love your videos. As a kid I loved going to a friends engineering shop and watch them using the lathe and mill but could never see a project from start to finish. Here I can with the bonus of an explanation of the why and how.
One of the highest stress points in the entire machine. Yikes. This one looks like a boatload of work that is going to make you seem like a miracle worker.
I don’t think I can say what my favorite part would be. I’m a bit of a hobby machinist and am just very interested in your methodology. I’m always impressed! Here, in the U.S., this is my Friday fix. Karen, you do an excellent editing job, you just seem to know when to speed up the action, we don’t miss anything and the videos aren’t 4 hours long. Thank for all the two of you do!
Hey Gary thanks for taking time to watch and share the feedback we both appreciate it!
Well said, Gary!
I really do have to say, you are the king of machining on RUclips. The wife and I are planning on coming down under a some point to visit family and friends. Would love to buy you guys a schooner or two and listen to what you have to say about building your amazing business. From a greatful pom! 🤙
Those clamps are impressive. Looking forward to part 2
Absolute top class engineering once again. Cheers Kurtis and Karen, and thanks for sharing this with us.
I’m still blown away at your knowledge for your age I mean that with the upmost respect.
Most machinist I know are cantankerous old timers much to learn from but hard to get much out of. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great work my man.
As a craftsman in my trade, I can very much appreciate your approach to you trade. No short cuts or "that's close enough " attitude. I'm not a machinest but I can tell that you take pride in your work. Thankyou for your videos!
That hand-held beveling tool is awesome!!! I learn a lot from your channel! Thanks!
Well, that’s something different. Looking forward to watching you put all the pieces together. Great video work as always Karen!
I am so proud of you! My god you can do anything, PLEASE keep filming all this, you are changing the world, the camera person is amazing, and the puppy dog proves life matters along with the birds, you are a very smart man ! thank you for all of this!
Great information, I was a fitter for 10 years, I used to love when a temporary assignment would come open in the shop, those old timers knew their way around the shop tools.
It's really kinda funny watching you do massive cuts with that boring bar, when most of the stuff I watch is on small hobbyist lathes. The thickness of that thing is quite something.
Great vid everyone, the best part shaping the center of the longer bar by eye great work and hats off to Karen for her camera work
Awesome mate glad you liked that
I like how you sped up the mill for tapping. You shut off the machine and let it drift to a stop. Ingenious!
That bloopers in the end is smart because it gives me a second to remember to hit like, and then pause so I can look at next vid suggestions without it kicking to next video too fast. The machining is good too.
That was excellent, looking forward to part 2. Have a great weekend.
just finished watching an older video on your channel and you come through with a new one. perfect timing 🔥
thanks for watching mate we appreciate it!
Don't have an H-link? No problem, we'll just fab one up! Be a couple days, though... Outstanding work; I love the attention to detail. I really like that you show where the bits live in real life, and how they are supposed to work. That adds more to your channel than you might realize, I think. Thanks for putting it up!
Taking the time to explain what an H link on an excavator is and does is one of the many reasons this channel is fantastic!
I may have commented before that now I’m retired I’m indulging myself as an amateur machinist so all of your videos are interesting to me.
I only have a lightweight 35 year old AL-360 Hafco lathe so I can’t throw off those huge swarf swirls with the beautiful colours. Karen did a superb job filming the bevelling and getting showered in needles. Can’t help thinking you would get a better finish if you were to make a small welding table with the bevelling machine mounted underneath in the middle like a router table. Cheers Stuart, Canberra.
Buenos días.
Usted realiza un excelente trabajo de precisión y limpieza admirable. Gracias a Karen con su gran habilidad y talento con la cámara nos permite ver cada detalle con la perspectiva exacta. Muchas felicidades porque hacen un equipo perfecto, saludos desde México.
hola compañero, gracias por el gran comentario, ¡ambos lo apreciamos!
Once again you demonstrate your prowess at machining. Also, your caution regarding the care of your various machines is noteworthy. I am glad you took time t discuss the care/caution of your machines/tools. Great job!!
You have a good, educational, and exited blog.You teach people that if they want to be thought of as one of the best. It's easy. Don't take short cuts, keep your tools clean and well servested, work area is clean any tools that is even the slightest bit damaged, replace it, correct others errors, and don't loan your tools.
You really do some exalent work and it brings me great pleasure to see someone put so much pride in their work
Great video Kurtis and good job. The beveling machine is nice. Take care and have a blessed and safe week and I'll see you on your next video. Looking forward to part two.
You two do an excellent job both in the machining and the filming, what I liked about this video is when you brought out the BLINGING (bevelling) machine 😁. Work smart not hard. Your attention to details and commitment to professional work is what keeps you busy Kurtis. Well done . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves 🇨🇦
Your commitment to doing only quality work is very commendable. It is something you do not see enough of in today's workforce. That BM-18 is like a huge router designed for steel. 😀
awesome video as always 👍.....huge thanks to you and your wife and dog for making these videos happen.....the H Link is made from A36 Plate, and the pins are 4140 hardened to 65 Rockwell....I know you can look it up yourself, but you made me curious about it when you were talking about the H Link breaks inserts, so I looked it up.....thanks man👍
Good question. What does one likes most of the video’s. To me it is well rounded. Being an engineer myself I can’t really pinpoint something in particular as being the most interesting. I sometimes see new or clever techniques of which I didn’t know it existed ( bevel machine) so that’s a bonus. Editing is beautifull, doggy keeps us grounded, birds too. So. Just keep going. My wife is an operasinger. She likes to watch now and then too for no apparent reason apart from her saying she wants to learn.
Rosie the Riveter opera and she can sing as she's tooling around in work gear operating a grinder, lathe, line borer, etc.
As always a quality video and an enjoyable to watch Kurtis create something from a few pieces of steel👍
That BM-18 does a fantastic job. Looking forward to part 2.
I CAN'T describe how nice it is to get home after a long day of work, putting a pizza in the oven, crack a beer, then to see that there is a new episode out that I truly enjoyed to watch while eating my pizza!! Incredible work as always, Kurtis and Karen!! Cheers from Norway!🇳🇴
awesome mate sounds good!
I have watched the odd 'overseas video' where it looks like the lathes being used were second hand when they came off the Ark and haven't seen a lick of maintenance since! I admire the respect for and care of your machinery you practice including little things like Kurtis' reasoning for winding the chucks in by hand. Excellent effort as always K, K & H - Thank you 👍
we've thought about doing some 'reaction' videos to those 😅
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I appreciate it's a lol but am glad you have not gone there. You guys are the package in my view with the knowledge, skills, attitude and practices to produce top quality product (both 'goods' and videos) that is the best outcome for your customers. I hope you stay on the high ground as shooting fish in a barrel is too easy.
Really interesting job with new tools! Thanks, you two!!!
Hi Kurtis and Karen 😁 Wow ! nothing stops the job getting done - let just MAKE a new H Link LOL Cant wait for part 2 👍👍
What I enjoy so much about these videos is in most of them there is a point where I go "whats he doing it that way for?" only to find out shortly after... "yeah ok that was a good idea". Something as "simple" as the placement of the fixed steady in this video.
Don't really have a favourite part. The whole job is a process and enjoy watching everything come together. Love the new bevel cutter. As a Carpenter that is an easy job on wood. Bit harder and more expensive on steel. And you can't have too many tools. My wife doesn't agree though.
I liked those slo-mo shots of the chips, cool!
There is often something new I learn by watching these videos.
It's usually a little difficult to keep a threading tap straight when you start to thread by hand. I did never thought of that you can start by putting the tap in a drill chuck. And the tap is made of hard material, so it starts to slip before it breaks unless you tighten the chuck too hard.
Thank you! 👍
Love your videos, Thank you! I really appreciate the time, hard work and expertise you share and put into your videos! Cheers Jono
Hey Jono thanks for the support mate!
Another great vid, good few kg of swarf from this one, love those deep cuts. 🤘 Watching the ribbon curling out angry colours never gets old.
This is my favourite channel, I owned a trucking Co and we had our own heavy duty shop and you never appreciate the machine shop till you don't have one anymore. That angle cutter / grinder is on my " I need that" list. The two of you are a great team and your safety officer reminds me of my old German sheppard who had the run of our business.
Thanks another great video Kurtis and Karen you do such a great job of explaining what and why and no annoying music . You fast forward enough to stop it being boring but give enough time so no important detail is lost . Love to how you explain the way you do things so your equipment doesn’t wear out as quick . So much of your content help me and gives me confidence to give jobs a go . Thanks again looking forward to part 2 . Your skills are impressive
A great build and video. Those bevelling machines are a brilliant bit of kit but as you say very expensive. Top stuff, looking forward to part 2.
Great! As an retired Lawyer I am always speechless what you can do. Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪
As soon as you start describing what you're doing I'm lost, and it's not a language thing, you are just so knowledgeable that I have a hard time keeping up. You come across as somebody who has been doing this since you were 10 years old :)
I really enjoy watching a Master work at their craft and you are in that category for sure. Keep it up, amazing content!
Kurtis that bevelling machine looks fantastic and a real time saver, once again you have built something that has saved your customer a lot of money and time. Karen your editing is brilliant really award winning, poor Homeless must be getting dejected because his toy bin is getting a bit depleted, once again thank you for sharing your blog all the best from Tassie
Wow, that's not an easy piece to build. I love this channel.
I love that you not only talking what you are doing but actually educate and tell WHY you do this this way.
It helps him and us.. teaches us and makes it so he doesn't get comments why this why that you did that wrong type comments
Спасибо.
Thanks team. Another great production. Looking forward to Part 2.
33:00 “he’s got a router!” “Ha ha, this is not a router …. THIS is a router!”
Great video! This one is another great example of how your large work translates into the smaller stuff a home shop guy might be dealing with. We might have a worn out part that is impossible to find as a replacement and not feasible to re-sleeve or other type of repair. A new part doesn't have to look like the original, and it is a damn sight more expensive to hand craft, but it will often be more cost effective than junking the whole machine you are trying to repair. Thanks CEE for once again showing us how it's done!
Wait. A. Minute.
All good; but the shaving/chip sequences at 17 minutes are quite mesmerizing.
Y'all are modeling best practices in technical cinematography here. Well captured. Well delivered. (from a cave man who used to sharpen my own HS bits)
Carry on
17:00 there. I gave you a timestamp.
Excelente trabajo felicitaciones👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
That bevelling is bad ass!!! Another great week, another great video guys! Thanks for the arvo entertainment! Those bloopers this week, haha classic!
To watch you turn a part, it looks smooth, shiny, clean. To see others do the same job, looks rough, like it has small threads cut into it. My lord your work is fantastic, be very proud of what you do, and how well you do it. As always great job.
That bevelling thing is basically a router for metal! I want one!!
Really great machining. And that beveling machine is a great piece of kit. Like a router bit for metal. What a time saver. Looking forward to seeing the link come together. Have a great week.
Is it wrong to say that I love you guys? I can’t wait for the next episode. Week after week makes Friday enjoyable. Thanks for making my day better. Wish I lived near you because I would definitely stop by with a cold beverage or two.
