Curtis. Very good finish. Have you made a the welding jig for doing pipe or was that shop made. Only they are major money over here in England. Many thanks. Lisa.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

@@lisaburnett3368 hey mate do you mean the adjustable steady roller setup? Yeah shop made but was actually made for our big lathe to steady jobs that extend from the spindle but works well for this too haha.

[@DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

I watch them all. Usually on the television 📺 with a beer 🍺. Can’t comment on the Tele and have to use my phone to do so. It’s all good as that doubles your view count lol 😆. Cheers

[@Brainmalfuction]

sweet video ! looks like some gravy work there. I'm curious as to why you don't run the metal core hotter in spray arc ?

[@arisalo4623]

What gas mix You are using with mig? Nice work! 🙂

[@freethought2296]

I like the fact that you show us viewers on what and where you repaired parts are used. Looking forward to your next job!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thanks for watching and the feedback cheers 😎👍

[@TheyCallMeMrGuns]

Was about to write the same thing, really appreciate that I can see where parts or cylinders are used.

[@rupert5390]

@@TheyCallMeMrGuns same here knowing what the work relates to really adds to how authentic this guy is just doing his work and sharing expertise - what about those flawless welds looked like they are robot welds.

[@eddieward5232]

I’m lucky enough to know what’s going on but I think it’s important that someone shows those that don’t, 40 years of repair work and still enjoy doing and watching others. When you get to old to learn your dead

[@rupert5390]

Eddie legendS of machining like yourself live forever I assume you’ve helped a few or a lot of young apprentices get their repair credentials - thanks form the rest of us mate.

[@peterparsons7141]

And the camera recording is very good. Wish I had access to this kind of instruction 40 years ago , it would have really sped up the learning. Fantastic for new machinists. Good job.

[@drmikeyb1]

I like it a whole lot more hearing him explain the process of what he's doing rather than just music. Great videos.

[@DaleDix]

Kurtis and Karen

[@DaleDix]

@Bits & Bolts considering they do some after dark and expanded the workshop and the yt earnings means they're okay

[@DaleDix]

@Bits & Bolts you do you. KZbin is lucrative if you play it right and can help you purchase plant and equipment. That's what they're doing.

[@rickster58]

Kurtis, as a machinist I see all of the unmentioned stuff that you do. Such as always protecting the cylinders by mounting brass shim stock to chuck jaws, and the beautiful welds that you do. You’re a master with the mig welder. I like how quickly that you’re able to move around from one task to the next. You’re ok in my book mate!

[@Leefywood]

I’m a 70 year old codger who has never had the opportunity to see a machine shop but thoroughly enjoy watching you work. I became a wood turner 7 years ago and love my lathes so I relate to what you do but nothing I do even comes close to your work. Another plus is I enjoy your accent. Thanks for sharing.

[@renatoaristeugomes3720]

Today, reviewing this old video, we can see his evolution and professional growth. Congratulations.

[@lightpath6294]

I will never re-barrel a dozer hoojamawhatzit but I have learned a lot about machining from you. The more instruction the better. And good lord your tig skills...

[@quiet_desperation]

You are such a genius at parting the flange off. That's a sentence I never thought I would say to anyone!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

🤣🤣🤣

[@danl.4743]

I just gotta say. This is so much better to listen to, without the music. Thank you for taking our advice. It's so nice to hear the milling and grinding. I find myself lost in the moments watching it. And the silence around when you set the item is so zen. You're doing an amazing job with your videos. (and of course with the work itself as well. lol)

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate yeah totally agree my misses likes to do a bit of the ASMR style except I like to have loud fan or music or swearing going on hahaa glad you're enjoying it thanks for the feedback. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍

[@fredfarnackle5455]

Dan L. I agree with all those comments.

[@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin]

I'll never be a machinist but these videos help me to understand the inner workings of my equipment and who knows - maybe I'll spot a problem BEFORE it needs a total rebuild.

[@jerrellkull5347]

I worked for a number of years for a big excavation company, as a mechanic. They always outsourced cylinder rebuilds, until i said that i could do it. I built a big machine kinda like a lathe, but it was for breaking loose the piston nut off the rod. When the rod or barrel were junk, they had to just purchase new, they didn't want to tool up to let me build the entire units, mainly cause they didn't want to be forced to paying me a higher wage, morons spent way more buying new rods and barrels, and could have saved or made money in the long run, cause there wasn't anybody in the state that would build them. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Nice work as always, would love to work with you. Take care and Cheers!!!

Your tig welding and mig welding is absolutely topnotch man. Doing the bevels the way you do is so much nicer the doing it with a torch

Yes I have seen were you spun the two pieces. When one is rotating clockwise and the other piece rotates counter clockwise it's hot welding! I've seen it done on several video programs. Very interesting process.
