Curious about why we're putting so much effort into this Franna crane?? 🤔We like to think of it as our 'passion project' we do it because we love it, not only that, it's our goal to create a fully restored, functional, and visually stunning piece of equipment that's not only a testament to Kurtis skills but also a valuable asset for our business. We hope you enjoy watching our progress and if you've got any questions drop them below in the comments and we'll do our best to answer them 😄👇 📽Missed seeing any of the Franna crane project videos?

@@pacificcoastpiper3949 I've only worked with smaller machines, but in my experience the pain is negligible because all the energy went into the stripping. A simple overall is sufficient to stop any sensation. However, you never ever want to be at the business end of that spray nozzle. Pain would be the least of your issues, that is if you still have nerve endings left to allow you to feel pain.

"Because it's my project and that's what I want to do" Good on you for saying that out loud! Oftentimes we look for justification and forget that personal enjoyment and fulfilment can be the main outcome of a project and it doesn't make it any less valid or "real". This one has that in spades, plus you'll have an awesome machine at the end. Also, to echo other commenters, I would 100% buy merch with that quote or similar sentiment on it :)

In this current culture of throwaway technology, it's very refreshing to see content where a good machine is restored so that it can continue to be productively used, and not just trashed. This sort of content has spurred me to try and repair something before just giving up on it - even if I do not yet possess the skill to do so. Of course, my humble repairs are on a much smaller scale :) Keep up the good work, K & K!

Neighbor went into nursing home sad but life.She had a 1999 es300 80k on clock garage queen. had a dead battery and no major timing belt servicing. It would fail inspection. And not saleable maybe 200 bucks at a used car lot they would they would bring to auction. The daughters asked do you want the car? Well i ended up getting it for 1 dollar. I already have 3 cars. Well i charged battery had timing belt serviced, ouch did brake fluid change new headlight bulbs etc, re condition leather seats, clay bar the car and wax cleaned seatbelts so now they retract. Cleaned plenium and cowel, cleaned engine, oil change next trans fluid change.cars runs fantastic passed emissions easily. Car runs great. It only needed 1400 for timing belt water pump full asian kit did seals too cams and crank. And a lot of my labor. Car is a blast to drive a real looker too. Why did i do it because the lady was very nice to me and loved her car. Now i love it too..only 80k on the clock she is a baby.. and well cared for. Like the sisters wanted, they knew i would care for the car. Now i car shuffle. Also for the challenge.. why not..

But like a good friend of mine said "we have a box of parts and there is only one way to put it back together. If there is something left, we'll figure it out" That was when the carburetor of my first car was in 50 or so pieces and I just came back from the bathroom. I expected to find neatly stacked rows of parts to be restored in order, I was horrified to find a container with random parts floating around in degreaser. Mind you this was 30 years ago and I was very much inexperienced with mechanical car parts. Now I do know what to do, but I just pay my mechanic at the garage because I don't have the time or space for such projects. Kurtis has 20 or so boxes or parts and 20 odd videos to look back to for documentation. We are just here for the ride 🤣

Once you do something long enough, it just because second nature. I thought the same thing when I first showed an interest in becoming an automotive mechanic. Now, 35-ish years later and having become a professional mechanic, removing and engine from an engine bay isn't any big deal. I mean I'm no better than anyone else and I do have my own system of keeping track of things. But from the outside looking in I can definitely see how things seem chaotic. Plus I remember being astonished watching my mentors. But I'm sure he has a system that helps him keep track. Back in my early days I used a lot of Tupperware, that's for sure!!

Kurtis's work ethic and thoroughness impress me. As an engineer previously responsible for a metals and alloys production plant, watching Kurtis take the time to properly secure the frame from any possibility of falling over during the painting, tells me he's the type of person who takes time to do it right. As with all his projects while I enjoy watching him do the work, it's the care and planning that go into them that impresses me most. He also typically discusses things that he would have done different if he did a project again. His customers are lucky to have access to such a great shop for getting repairs done the right way.

I'm a Retired Mechanical Engineer and I'm also a Machinist (although nothing close to Kurtis's level). I'm also an all-around "gear-head" and car enthusiast. As soon as he said he was going to "customize" the crane my ears pricked up! I can't wait to see how this beast turns out! Probably one of the few (or only) show-car quality cranes on the planet! Considering he's basically going to "re-engineer" the thing to his liking it's gonna be EPIC!

I worked on a dairy farm for the first 5 years of my working life, among duties I did the pressure washing of the cattle bedding areas, cubicle houses etc, after winter, this was a task that took weeks and I often had to hose myself down after each day, not only was I soaked and filthy but of course you can imagine the smell! Often the bus driver would refuse to let me board to come home so I had to walk about 5 miles straight over fields ( to have walked the bus route would have been no less than 10 miles). I remember it well! Great to see work resume on this project, it’s gonna look fantastic when it’s finished! I just know it will! Mark from Scotland!

Something to consider adding to the Franna as well as your regular forklift is a rack to hold/carry wooden blocks to set things on. I used to operate a large forklift at an American hardwoods sawmill and we used solid oak 48" 2x4's to set our bundles of lumber down on and even used them between the bundles, and always having your blocking material right at hand is the way to go. Anyway, it's just something to ponder, keep up the great work.

Countless have said it and I am just echoing the statement, nothing was better than hearing you say you are doing it this way because you want to! Priceless and perfect. You should make some merch with that!!

I thought that. Particularly the framing of the gouging through the structure of the crane body.

Other people amuse themselves with projects like collecting stamps, making pottery or doing a bit of woodworking, Kurtis’s project is rebuilding a crane. Got to love it.

The attention to detail is second tonight. Definitely can tell this is a passion project and I can't wait to what 'Kurtisms' are adapted into the final build. Loving the editing on these videos. Good job Karen.

So impressive--tearing a crane down to bare metal, then redesigning and building your own style shop crane. A Master Class in engineering and metal fabrication. Looking forward to seeing it come together. Maybe this will be the flagship model for K & K Cranes! Who knows? Eilbeck Cranes started as a blacksmith shop. And nice to see the helicopter lads drop by for a coffee and a chat (grin). Looks like beautiful Spring weather too. Nice. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder and have great week! Cheers.

Kurtis: hey guys, today we are taking delivery of our first helicopter. This could be great prank on the viewers video!

I love your no nonsense attitude. It’s my project, and that’s the way I’m doing it. Good job on cleaning and prepping the foundation to your fabricating magic.

11:31 the fact the sandblaster can blow the trees in the background just shows how powerful it is

They seem to have lots of work. Coming from someone who does ‘everything’ himself, theres a place for a reasonably paid person to sandblast stuff…and learn some other stuff about working.

The lengths that you’re prepared to go to on this project is absolutely amazing! A totally mind-boggling amount of work! Love your determination and work ethic. I honestly don’t know how you find the time as busy as you are with customer’s work. Hat’s off to you, sir.
