A mixed week, repairs, fabrication and a bit of farming

[@billdoodson4232]

Well I should be getting up and getting into my own workshop. However a good excuse to lie in bed for an hour and have another coffee. Cheers Ollie.

I love the way you repair more than the initial job when you notice a problem, just like you would if it was your own equipment. Thanks for another great video.

Good morning Oliver! Another fine morning watching your stuff! 👍

A practical use for AI for calculating materials needed. Great channel, tremendous range of engineering skills you've got.

[@paulhammond7489]

Another grand video from Oliver, a really nice mix this week, and nice to get a glimpse of the farm during harvest :) Busy times

[@012454000]

Hi Oliver , I used to fabric large frames etc on a 10” bed plate , we just used dowel pins that fitted in the 10” grid slots and pushed the job up to them to square up etc , I think you could just turn some top hat dowels that drop in those machined holes would be much quicker then to just push the frame up to 👍

[@TonyFromSydney]

Good work as usual Oliver, a good mix. A well made video, looking forward to the next one already.

[@Johannes58934]

Spacing... I know this problem well. Stair baluster spacing. Dry fit and where possible, start in the middle. Time is fleeting! Ten years seems like a lot, but not on the other side! Use your time wisely... I've had customers complain that my price was too high and I tell them "my time is valuable"! Harvest time! I've seen the CLAAS equipment a lot lately! Thanks for sharing the video and have a great Sunday!

[@lawrencemanning]

It’s weird how to many folk the idea that a skilled trades person will price their work (and therefore time) at the sweet spot to keep themselves neither idle (too expensive) nor over worked (too cheap). It’s a pretty simple concept when you give it just a little thought!

[@BurnAndHackett_RC]

Some more skilled work to start my Sunday morning. Glad to see you are keeping busy in the workshop, and still able to have a wee break away from the shed for a while.

[@explorasarus]

The fireball tool videos are worth a watch for different fixture table set up techniques. Keep up the good work and great content!

[@mingthemerciless6855]

The new table is a game changer. The grates look spot on. Looking forward to the completion and installation. Cheers.

[@charleswelch249]

You keep pretty busy with all the local farmers breaking equipment. But getting out of the shop is healthy for you, Oliver. I really like the new crossing design you have designed. I believe it will last longer than the old one. The wheat looks like a good crop also.

[@gdmonks1959]

Another excellent video Ollie the output from yourself is always top quality and make my Sundays along with so many others, we all appreciate your skill and work ethic 👍🏻

[@hornetboy3694]

Another awesome video, great work. Thank you Oliver

“Snowball Red” looks great on the green McHale handler.

[@infostump8061]

I think it’s about time you built yourself a nice new works shop. Nicely laid out and clean will make your workflow more efficient. Maybe some 3phase in there, too. Go on, you deserve it! Great work as usual chap. Keep it up!

[@b.malnit8983]

That’s gotta be a heavy grid Ollie. Very nice and strong. Good Engineering Ollie. Cheers!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Nice job 👍 Thanks for sharing the repairs that come into the shop.!

[@andrewj7994]

I always weld a bit of 40 mm flat bar on my cattle grids where the car/ tractor tires go, makes them quiet and last a lot lot longer.

[@janklaas3242]

That roll pin came out smooth as butter! I have a love hate relationship with roll pins. Have to bore them out like almost every time. Nice video as always!

[@peteb3365]

oli, when doing an infill such as those grates come in from both sides and meet in the middle. if its bit out looks fine in middle and doesn't make them 'handed'. when meeting in middle you can spread the discrepancy over couple gaps not just one.

[@kailuagarage]

Oooh - now Ollie has some fancy pants new welding gloves ... awesome 🎉

[@78jog89]

Looks like the new workbench is working out wonderfully. Thanks for another interesting post.

[@nighttrain1450]

No matter how well I measure when making a railing or grating the spacing never quite works. Always a millimetre here or there. After years you would think I would get lucky eventually. It’s like the number gremlins are messing with us. Great work Oliver. 👏❤️

[@lawrencemanning]

Maybe you should work in inches. Just kidding. A mm out sounds pretty good to me!

[@LarryYaw]

Cool, once again I am early to the show! Awesome as usual my friend! What a great way to end my evening!

[@hl8256]

Great video. That is a nice table, I have no use for one, but I want it.

The fab table is awesome! I also saw the boss had to check up on you to make sure you're not slacking. ;)

[@waxore1142]

You rock man. Very skilled. A regular Macgyver. That green grabber looking thing looks like someone was trying to pick up something it wasn't designed to pick up. Too bad i cant go back in time to tell you you could have used the Miter saw to chamfer the box stock.

Great vid as usual, and nice to see the extra you did with the grease nipples on the bale grab, but lo be honest it looked like they weren't overused before! Hence the worn pins!😅

[@everestyeti]

Are you sure that bale grabber wasn't one of those new grease free models, 😁. Am in the middle of decorating so stopping to watch Ollie, broke and fractured my spine a few years ago, am still walking, its amazing though what you can get away with when you tell the wife you just need a rest. 😎 Glad to see you using the fabrication table, hopefully we'll see the grid being used. 👍

[@cheechU38K]

Good bit of work and harvest time is my favourite time 🕰️ at least if anything breaks, you have skills to fix 😜 Oh and I’ve seen one of those laser cleaners 2000 watts power on a US plant channel they had a demo of. Usual Chinese company but it worked well taking off rust/paint and especially on difficult areas where you can’t get a grinder in. Good for cleaning welds up and it even etches mild steel. 😅

[@ÁREAJ27]

Olá amigo,trabalho perfeito como sempre!!! Abraço e boa sorte sempre!!!

[@RambozoClown]

Great mix of jobs. Now that you have a fixture table, you might start cutting your frames a few mm short so you have a gap to sink the welds into. Saves grinding out the joints.

[@stephenheyes4324]

Some interesting repairs great job as always Oliver

[@madeljacky]

The pin and cone brackets on the McHale could do mounted higher, that's why they get bent when hooking out, the operator crowds the attachment too far forward to get the cone down out and it bends the bracket, excellent bit of repair work you did to all the implements in this video.

[@rudyrivera7426]

Great jobs and video! Young lad! Keep up the great content! 👌👍

Great video 👍 Time to get a stock of coloured spray paints.Preheating work piece's with a propane setup would save oxygen and with a large torch head quicker 😊

Other grease zerk needed to be moved. Looks to be impossible to grease. Manufacture just grabbed an off the shelf cylinder that happened to have the zerk orientation in a bad position. Then again. We know it will never be greased.

[@gregwarne3252]

well done a good mix of jobs

[@BrucePierson]

That new fixture table is coming in very handy. Another job that would have been a lot more difficult on your old bench. I know that's a drainage grid, but I've seen cattle grids made from railway lines, which are really heavy, needing a crane to move them.

Need to stock up on double wrap roll pins. Much stronger

[@AlexLindley-u5f]

Handy to have a few Fire Extinguishers not too far away we found !!

[@petegraham1458]

The grate spacing being off is a result of what’s called “ accumulate additive error”. Nice work all the way round I say! Looks like a nice wheat crop !

"Easier to grease" 🤣Yep. That's exactly what will happen.

Looks like you've got good weather for the harvest. Here in this part of Queensland Australia, we're just having unseasonal rain for the week. The weather is all over the place lately. You never know what it's likely to do now. Another hold-up for getting things done outside. It must be our wettest year this year in terms of how many days it's rained.

Chain trapeze from ceiling to support long lengths pull to the side when not in use👍

[@davetaylor4741]

I can remember as a kid being a mixed farm. Back then you could do that on small acreage. Then when the Milk Marketing Board took over everything went except the cows. Pasture only. Max out your stocking and your quota. Buy in all your other feed and straw. Must be nice having a variety.

[@rogercligg4531]

When the need is there.nothing like sledgehammer.magic.

[@peterparsons7141]

So a running gag you can use for whatever equipment you’re working on is, “ I don’t have any xxxxcolour, so red oxide will have to do” If in the event that you have correct colour you can say, “ I’m out of red oxide, I found this and it matches original paint”.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Thanks for explaning about the seam sealer on that eye repair was wondering about the dirt and moisture intrusion at that location.

[@user-xy2ff9sv2t]

I asked Triffitt Trailers about changing the towing eye on a sprung drawbar and they said they cut the old one straight off and weld a new one on the underside. The one I did has lasted 10 years. McHale bale handlers get too much stress on a pivot steer loader. I've done the same repairs on one for a customer.

Try putting a light scissor jack under your tubing before you cut, looks like it could sit in your plasma table, Thanks

[@BrucePierson]

That second repair was a case of the operator not noticing the condition of the implement until it got to the point of breaking. Good job fixing the other side, otherwise it would have been back to get that side repaired before very long. Preventative maintenance.

[@georgewalton-b5s]
