I like your editing style because you don't keep rambling about what you're gonna do, then show 2 minutes of doing followed by more rambling, It's pure "show, don't tell"
This is a great channel. Another is Andrew Camarata's channel. He does similar stuff. As for the weld breaking, I wonder what rod/electrode you were using. 7018? 6011? 6013? It appeared that the weld, itself, may have been effected by porosity or inclusion. It adhered to the base just fine. Interesting.
@@boldlygo3469that jaw is higher carbon steel. Here is a bit from a google search. Im too tired to explain it myself. Lol + Why High Carbon Steel Cannot Be Welded. High-carbon steel contains more than 0.5% carbon, which makes it hard and difficult to weld. The heat created by the welding process causes the molecules in high-carbon steel to move around, resulting in cracks or breaks in the metal when cooled.
@@boldlygo3469this guy is a bona-fide fabricator, Andy is just a half ass fixer upper. I still don't see why Camerata has so many subs cause he's not all that good at making or fixing anything.
Mr. Bjoernstroem, I am a retired college professor, 75 years old and I am mesmerized by your technical expertise! I can't help asking myself "How did this young man acquire so much technical and practical knowledge in the few years he has lived on this earth!!??" You make everything look so easy and yet I know what you are doing is complex and requires a high degree of technical knowledge, accuracy, and precision. You, sir, are a national treasure. Thank you for allowing us to watch a genius at work!
@@ronaldcarrel5388 agreed. Imagine how good apprentice training was back in the day when the guys teaching were qualified tradesmen not qualified teachers.
Man... This is EXACTLY what I love about the internet, being able to find all these cool videos of other people from around the world that make cool stuff! Bravo, that thing turned out MINT!
I'm 62 years old. I've done industrial construction work my whole life, working on powerhouses, chemical plants, refineries, and paper mills for over 40 years. Your craftsmanship and work ethic amazes me. Thank you, sir, for your service. You do incredible work with a wide range of skills. Like I said, I am amazed. However, I would strongly suggest wearing a respirator or dust mask as often as possible while grinding or welding. You don't want to end up with COPD or emphysema like me. MY golden years will not be very well enjoyed because of the things I've breathed up in my life while working construction. It's really hard to get anything done around here while being so short of breath.
As a Construction teacher I emphasised safety to students. Hearing damage, dust inhalation and falling from heights are major talking points to students. Experienced workers ignore the dangers and later pay with poor health.workers need to take personal responsibility but so should the employer. These same employer have a duty of care and should provide all materials to ensure a safe worksite.

If someone would have suggested that I would be spending my Christmas holidays _voluntarily_ watching a 3,5 hours youtube video about someone building stuff I would’ve declared them senile. But yet here I am, happily watching one of the best videos of 2022. Hopefully it won’t be the best one of 2023 and there will be more to come! Happy New Year from the Netherlands.
I am in absolute AWE!! I am 65 years old, and I used to work with my father in his shop when I was much younger. He would have really admired the way you work and the incredible job you have done! What a project! Wow! I'm going to share this with my brothers and my sons. Great job! You have excellent equipment, and you really have vision and ambition. Thanks for a great video!
THIS MAN HAS ALL THE KNOWLIDGE TO HANDLE THE JOB, IF I HADN'T SPENT 20 YEARS IN THE AIR FORCE AND HAD SPENT SOME TIME IN CLOAGE AND TEC SCHOOLS AND ON THE JOB TRAINING I COULD WELD. Instead of working on cars and trucks
That’s three hours of my life well spent. Your ideas are creative and the solutions to problems that come your way are very clever. I will watch more videos because it does give me my own ideas and solutions for things that I have been doing. Stay healthy.
Even though I'm a MASSIVE fabrication geek, I would normally think hard about whether I'd watch a 1.5 hour video. Let alone a 3+ hour video. I have been PLEASANTLY surprised by your fabrication skills, work ethic, and the editing. You don't spend 15 mins showing the same thing, yet you don't skimp on details either. Somehow you've managed to find the right balance (at least from my perspective). So far I've only done 1:45hrs. Shame I actually need to go and start some work.... I'll come back later to finish it! 😄
In my rather small world, the most useful to me was how to lubricate the chair. However you are added to my list of people I would like to know! Take care and live well!
When I was a kid I operated a Jaw Crusher on a much grander scale. While these are a huge machines to build, the technology itself (to break up large rock) is pretty basic. I commend Bjoernstroem for this undertaking and recording it for those who are machine curious and for our enjoyment. Great work and wonderful outcome!
Accidentally left RUclips on autoplay and stumbled onto the Gone With the Wind of Camarata-esque metal fabrication videos. Only 30 minutes in and I’m hooked. Great video 👍🏻
Taking an hour to contemplate what to do shows you have a great work ethic. Sometimes I have walked away from a project and let my sub-conscious work out the problem for me. And to be really honest, sometimes I talk things through with my wife as she has a different view of the world to me and it helps to approach things from more than 1 angle at a time. Right, I’m only half way through. Back to the video. :)
I have two 100 year old jaw crushers, some technology just doesn’t change. To me there is something satisfying about watching a jaw crusher turn big rocks into little rocks.
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM Yes, they both work. If you look back on my channel I have a video of the Russell crushing plant being powered with my Cat 60. Farther back there should be video of it being powered with a steamer and I’m feeding it with my P&H crane with clam. No video of J.I. Case crusher. Thanks for your video.
Congratulations, you master working with metals and you have the necessary equipment to develop and complete a tremendous project. Although the video is long, they edited it in such a way that you condensed 6 months of work into 3 hours 25 minutes and it is so well condensed that no detail is lost. The only thing I didn't understand was using a car as a support for the conveyor belt. I follow you from Caracas - Venezuela.
M. I am very impressed, l am 72 and this makes me want to go outside and build something, anything, and I will, as soon as it works up. In Mckinleyville Ca. U.S.A.
Wow, selten so ein tolles Projekt gesehen, die 3,5h waren so schnell vorbei 👍Großartige Skills was die handwerklichen Fähigkeiten betrifft und auch die Fantasie bei der Umsetzung der Probleme, ganz hervorragend. Nur die Mercedes A Klasse am Ende hat mich gekillt😅.
I’m all for building things on my own, but watching you struggle with certain things was painful. You should have had a helper. Awesome job by the way, Thankyou for sharing your talents 👍🤠
This guy definitely has experience working with metal fabrication, hydraulics, and mechanics. I started working at the age of 12 with my uncle doing heavy diesel mechanic work, then through the years worked at huge fabrication yards building offshore platforms, oil rigs, ships, mechanics, fabrication welding, hydraulics, electrical. It's not easy work physically and mentally. Simple mistakes can cost millions. This guy has skill and evidently money to have all this equipment at his disposal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh, and the clip at the end of the video with the snow was amazingly beautiful! Thank you for that. I grew up in Kansas and the mountains of North Carolina where it was snowy and cold and now live in Florida where it does not snow here, ever. In fact, I only wear britches 6 or 7 times a year and only wear shoes and socks when i ride to town for a drs appointment. lol so it was nice to see snow again. :))) If you ever want to see the ocean hit me up and i get you a nice video. :)) Or a rocket launch. I live at Cape Canaveral where they launch rockets almost everyday now.
Hi I watched your video with enthusiasm ☺️☺️ 3 hours 25 minutes have passed in flight. thank you very much for this video. there is only one thing left to say.... Skill master, at a very high level 👍👍👍👍
I've watched the entire video and I realy enjoyed it. After seeing the airport snow remover in the wood I knew exactly what the little red car would be used for when saw it.😂

Thanks for sharing was very well made earned my sub and a like cheers from Canada.
I was smiling seeing all the methods used to do a two-person job with just one person around. When I do construction projects around the house, I also employ many tricks to support things to make my job easy without a helper. It's a skill borne out of necessity.
I just finished watching your build video. I'm amazed with your thought process on working out how to engineer the solutions to your problems. I might suggest going back and adding "U" clamps (like leaf springs clamps for auto and light trucks) to support the rear horizontal tube that lowers the stabilizing legs. This way you will have more structural support other than just your wields alone. Keep producing your informative content. Ken from Mobile, Alabama, USA
This was some project could not stop watching till the end, stayed up way too late but was worth it. My man, you got some skills outstanding machine you fabricated with your own hands. waiting to see it with the shaker working I guess you still have some fine-tuning to dial it in. The king of rocks you can call yourself now.
I'm about an hour in, first time veiwer. This is absolutely wonderful. Not just a bulder, but designer, and artisan like attention to detail. Very inspiring for me to get back into my own work, which is what ive needed. Thank you
for me its 3.25 watching a video that was interesting but for you it was a hell of a lot more work for a long period of time. Well done very good video which I enjoyed. England.
I Love the Fact when you do something as far as figure out. YOU build it Strong. Amazing job! Not sure the time from start to finish, but you are the best to figuring things out! I wish I had your shop! Lol
I have picked up and delivered so many jaws and crush plates, I never really understood where they went, I mean I know they are crushing rocks, but now I understand what the other bits are for, and why they weld on bits for lifting. These bits are lying in piles all over every quarry, recycle site across the world, so many bits and pieces just rusting away in corners. good to see someone re purposing them
The square tubing seems to be rather light weight for this type of equipment. The beds for the jaw crushers we used in the Nevada gold mines were at least 3/4 inch thick i beams. Then they were bedded in concrete. He is going to be missing some fingers and toes if he doesn’t start using a hoist of some kind. He is too young to destroy his back with heavy lifting. I am impressed with his work and wish him a very successful life.
I was think the exact same thing. Tubing seems rather thin for the mechanical forces that this rock crushing machine will have. Guess will see how it turn out. And he needs overhead hoist because watching him move stuff is scary.
I have been sitting sunday before easter watching this video. i am imprest. Now in Norwegian. Jeg har sittet søndag før påske og sett denne videoen, jeg er imponert.
3:18:45 Good decision, it's the most sensible thing you can do with a Mercedes. It's just not good for driving, but just good enough as a jack stand. Many greetings from Germany.
The best video ive woke up to at 3am yet ! I know all the materials are hard to come by here in the USA and they can be most expensive. On another note, I watched your video where you blasted them rocks out of the road/ditch and i am so happy i found your channel for entertainment. I get mesmerized in stuff like this and dont have much else to do than to watch what you do. Explosives arent easily obtained here in America either, so its nice to see someone using it in everyday projects as yours. I will always be a channel fan! keep up the fun and i know its hard work and hats off to you for finding things to do while you're young. :)
Hi from Northern lower Michigan USA I watched all your videos I don't know how I missed this one but you do have a very great mind for Designing and making everything you need keep up the great work. Ps the shop needs a Plasma cutter
This was an awesome build and achievement, you should be proud of yourself. I still cant believe you did this by yourself!!! I've subscribed and I'm gonna watch the rest of your videos.
In my wildest imaginings rebuilding a gnarly beat up rock crusher never enters my mind, not even once. It looks like a killer machine, just waiting to drop one or two of its massively heavy parts on this guy when he least expects it and yet he is under it, on top of it, and inside of its killer jaws making minute adjustments to one of the crusher jaws. The bracket he welded to one of the jaw plates did rip loose but lucky for him no part of his body was in the crunch zone. He is strong, skilled and fearless. I will watch the entire video.
The kids just like us old guys. Has to see some sh$t happen and have some sh$t happen with him to really learn to have the respect for the iron that it requires.
Wow, I must say you are incredibly talented in so many ways. Your family must be very proud of you and your abilities. I truly enjoyed your entire video as it was quite professionally done. Thank-you for the entertainment you provided. I will certainly be ready to watch some more of your accomplishments.
Five star build Everything double checked out and very neat. I have been doing that kind of work for 50 years and l would rate my skills about 2nd grade ---you would have a PhD Wonderful job. One of the best videos on line. I learned things watching it.
You had me right up to the point where you decided the little red car would make a good conveyor support. Other than that, nice build. Love the truck. I miss my hooklift. I had to switch to a cable hoist when I got my new bigger truck in order to be able to carry my existing small dumpsters with the same truck that hauled my big dumpsters (small cans are too short to fit the larger hooklift hoist). Very nice shop. I would love to be able to make my own hydraulic hoses.
Yes brilliant mostly👏👏👏 but the car stunt was childish and silly too😢 Andrew Camarata who is amazing , occasionaly does silly shit like this but I dont dig it tbf.😢
It is a Mercedes A-class, they are worth less than nothing, glad they could find an actual useful purpose for it. P.S. I want to clarify that I am dead serious that the car is worth less than nothing, it is impossible to sell to anyone, most of the time you have to pay a scrap fee of close to SEK 2000 to whomever takes it off your hands.
@@frozendude707 If the manufacturer build a car like this, needing removal of the engine just to work on anything like an alternator, it can serve a better purpose, while saving money.
Man I agree. Welding to galvanized is a pain. It welds,but your always trying to push the arc in the puddle to get good fusion. Plus the weld don’t look as good but can be just as strong. I can’t believe I watched this build for 3hrs. But,the way you started it I had to see your finished product. Great work all the way around. The job and your camera angles along with I’m sure was a time consuming edit. Well done. Glad I subscribed.
This has been brilliant to watch, I had it on my second screen while playing a game. From the hydraulic legs to resting the conveyor on the A-Class and the test run, fantastic work!!
I have watched this video from start to finish and I am amazed at your skill and guts to take on such a huge job.Well done &thanks for sharing,I am now looking at you videos to see what to watch next. Best wishes &stay healthy
Hi. really a wonderful job !! I was a little bit desappointed when I saw that you used an old Mercedes Class A to do that because some years ago I looked for one like that...

This way you will have more structural support other than just your wields alone. Keep producing your informative content. Ken from Mobile, Alabama, USA
This was some project could not stop watching till the end, stayed up way too late but was worth it. My man, you got some skills outstanding machine you fabricated with your own hands. waiting to see it with the shaker working I guess you still have some fine-tuning to dial it in. The king of rocks you can call yourself now.
This is the longest and most interesting video I have watched on you tube. Great job and great editing! Thanks.
One of the best engineering videos on RUclips including the red car holding up the conveyer belt
Great vid and nice build! As an old fabricator with lots of crushed fingers and toes, be careful with all that heavy metal.
Thanks, will try to be!
Great to see the young folk take up the Thor's hammer of heavy industry. Bravo.
Fine work. Watching that crusher eat boulders at the end was icing on the cake!!
Hard work patiently executed by a clever dude .
Thanks for the comment!
Excellent work! From the chain link/hatch lock to the conveyor belt support system. Super impressive!
I have seen every second of this video without boring , nice work man, love you from iraq ♥️
I'm about an hour in, first time veiwer. This is absolutely wonderful. Not just a bulder, but designer, and artisan like attention to detail. Very inspiring for me to get back into my own work, which is what ive needed. Thank you
just like that, keep going, i love channels like this, glad i found you. Greetings from the east 🇫🇮, Åbo
I could watch that thing eat rock all day! Incredibly satisfying.
Swedish Andrew……. funny you beat me to it….😮😮 ……wouldn’t it be epic if the two met in person….. now that would be epic👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
for me its 3.25 watching a video that was interesting but for you it was a hell of a lot more work for a long period of time. Well done very good video which I enjoyed. England.
It sure was, thank you George!
I Love the Fact when you do something as far as figure out. YOU build it Strong. Amazing job! Not sure the time from start to finish, but you are the best to figuring things out! I wish I had your shop! Lol
I have picked up and delivered so many jaws and crush plates, I never really understood where they went, I mean I know they are crushing rocks, but now I understand what the other bits are for, and why they weld on bits for lifting. These bits are lying in piles all over every quarry, recycle site across the world, so many bits and pieces just rusting away in corners. good to see someone re purposing them
The square tubing seems to be rather light weight for this type of equipment. The beds for the jaw crushers we used in the Nevada gold mines were at least 3/4 inch thick i beams. Then they were bedded in concrete.
He is going to be missing some fingers and toes if he doesn’t start using a hoist of some kind. He is too young to destroy his back with heavy lifting.
I am impressed with his work and wish him a very successful life.
I was think the exact same thing. Tubing seems rather thin for the mechanical forces that this rock crushing machine will have. Guess will see how it turn out.
And he needs overhead hoist because watching him move stuff is scary.
The level of passion and care and gumption is amazing. Wow. Gumption. I hope you can translate that word.
Thanks Richard! I definitely learned a new Word!
That is one mighty sturdy rolling mechanic stool! Nice build!
Just spent almost 3 1/2 hours watching ya put a bunch of metal together...thanks for the entertainment
I've done a lot of metal fabrication in my lifetime but this tops it all. Well done 👍.
he is very talented
GREAT video. In 2012 i build myself a light trailer for car . It weight 380kg and can easy carry 2t of load. Chears from Poland
It's always a special kind of pleasure to use something you built by your self, chears Mikkei!
3:25:29, and not long enough! I loved every minute! Thanks!
Thanks Hal!
I have been sitting sunday before easter watching this video. i am imprest. Now in Norwegian. Jeg har sittet søndag før påske og sett denne videoen, jeg er imponert.
Thanks for watching!
I’ve just started watching this video and I’m very impressed. How a one man crew, does all this by him self. Very impressed…
Your work and video editing is very good and there is no music in your video and that's what I like the most, thanks sir.
I'm just amazed someone will post this kind of video for free. Thank you from the Philippines!
This channel is one of these rare awesome corners of YT. Sir, your skills and video editing are really good.
3:18:45 Good decision, it's the most sensible thing you can do with a Mercedes. It's just not good for driving, but just good enough as a jack stand. Many greetings from Germany.
Great job figuring out and overcoming all those issues
I'm no machinist but certainly appreciate your craft!
The best video ive woke up to at 3am yet ! I know all the materials are hard to come by here in the USA and they can be most expensive. On another note, I watched your video where you blasted them rocks out of the road/ditch and i am so happy i found your channel for entertainment. I get mesmerized in stuff like this and dont have much else to do than to watch what you do. Explosives arent easily obtained here in America either, so its nice to see someone using it in everyday projects as yours. I will always be a channel fan! keep up the fun and i know its hard work and hats off to you for finding things to do while you're young. :)
Great job brother that's what you call Craftsmanship .
Hi from Northern lower Michigan USA I watched all your videos I don't know how I missed this one but you do have a very great mind for Designing and making everything you need keep up the great work. Ps the shop needs a Plasma cutter
Extremely entertaining, educational, and motivational watching this video. Great job.
This man is a literal machine, incredible.
Титаническая работа. Лайк и подписка однозначно. 👍 Особенно впечатлила подставка под транспортерную ленту 😄
This was an awesome build and achievement, you should be proud of yourself. I still cant believe you did this by yourself!!! I've subscribed and I'm gonna watch the rest of your videos.
Thanks for the Kind words!
Real interesting to watch someone fabricate and repair who knows what they are doing. Nice job. I subscribed and will keep watching. 👍👍
In my wildest imaginings rebuilding a gnarly beat up rock crusher never enters my mind, not even once. It looks like a killer machine, just waiting to drop one or two of its massively heavy parts on this guy when he least expects it and yet he is under it, on top of it, and inside of its killer jaws making minute adjustments to one of the crusher jaws. The bracket he welded to one of the jaw plates did rip loose but lucky for him no part of his body was in the crunch zone. He is strong, skilled and fearless. I will watch the entire video.
The kids just like us old guys. Has to see some sh$t happen and have some sh$t happen with him to really learn to have the respect for the iron that it requires.
After all this job you deserve thousands inscriptions,you got mine ,amazing work,very smart guy,congratulations

Wow, I must say you are incredibly talented in so many ways. Your family must be very proud of you and your abilities. I truly enjoyed your entire video as it was quite professionally done. Thank-you for the entertainment you provided. I will certainly be ready to watch some more of your accomplishments.
Wow!!! What a great build!!! Thanks for the video, watched all of it. 👍👍👍
Nice to hear, thanks!
Five star build
Everything double checked out and very neat. I have been doing that kind of work for 50 years and l would rate my skills about 2nd grade ---you would have a PhD
Wonderful job. One of the best videos on line. I learned things watching it.
That was great work, MB. I'm amazed at your abilities. Awesome shop and equipment, too. I'm so jealous!
You had me right up to the point where you decided the little red car would make a good conveyor support. Other than that, nice build. Love the truck. I miss my hooklift. I had to switch to a cable hoist when I got my new bigger truck in order to be able to carry my existing small dumpsters with the same truck that hauled my big dumpsters (small cans are too short to fit the larger hooklift hoist). Very nice shop. I would love to be able to make my own hydraulic hoses.
Yes brilliant mostly👏👏👏 but the car stunt was childish and silly too😢 Andrew Camarata who is amazing , occasionaly does silly shit like this but I dont dig it tbf.😢
It is a Mercedes A-class, they are worth less than nothing, glad they could find an actual useful purpose for it.
P.S. I want to clarify that I am dead serious that the car is worth less than nothing, it is impossible to sell to anyone, most of the time you have to pay a scrap fee of close to SEK 2000 to whomever takes it off your hands.
Childish 🤣 get over it
@@frozendude707 If the manufacturer build a car like this, needing removal of the engine just to work on anything like an alternator, it can serve a better purpose, while saving money.
Seeing a machine sort colors faster than the human eye is like watching a magic show. Technology is the new magic!
Awesome project, M!
I love watching all the different fabrication! KEEP IT UP!!!
Nothing much I can say that others haven't already said below. Fantastic work, congrats.
Man I agree. Welding to galvanized is a pain. It welds,but your always trying to push the arc in the puddle to get good fusion. Plus the weld don’t look as good but can be just as strong.
I can’t believe I watched this build for 3hrs. But,the way you started it I had to see your finished product.
Great work all the way around. The job and your camera angles along with I’m sure was a time consuming edit.
Well done.
Glad I subscribed.
Spot on! Oh nice, i never expected anyone to actually watch all of it. Thanks Bob
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!😇!!!!
This thing is a beast and the custom fabrication is very thorough, nice build sir!💪👊
This has been brilliant to watch, I had it on my second screen while playing a game. From the hydraulic legs to resting the conveyor on the A-Class and the test run, fantastic work!!
I have watched this video from start to finish and I am amazed at your skill and guts to take on such a huge job.Well done &thanks for sharing,I am now looking at you videos to see what to watch next. Best wishes &stay healthy
Thanks for watching! Same to you!
The trees look so beautiful with all that snow, as long as you looking at them from a warm house lol
Hi. really a wonderful job !! I was a little bit desappointed when I saw that you used an old Mercedes Class A to do that because some years ago I looked for one like that... But Sweden is so far aways from France so not a great regret ;-)) Congratulations for your video it was a very nice moment for me !! Greattings from France. Jean.
Ive just now found this channel and i havent watched the whole series but where ever you took the rock crusher is a beautiful spot!
