Infelizmente pra mim no Brasil não veio a opção pra comentar o video, e olhe que acordo cedo só pra isso😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

@@montgomerymastersonvieira4930 We see your comment mate, thanks for taking time to watch so early!

[@Murphyslawfarm]

My favourite part of this amazing channel is how much I learn from every video.

[@MyCaptainPugwash]

How much will this weigh in comparison to the original build????

[@peternewman958]

KAREN I must say the Views to Thumbs ratio is pretty damn good at the moment when you compare it against other YT channels. Thats really good keep them coming.

[@hoosiersdf]

I'm 83 years old and already, I can't wait for the next instalment. I've been following CEE for years now. It's got to be THE best produced program on KZbin...bar none!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thank you for the fantastic comment we're so grateful for viewers like yourself who enjoy our videos!

Look out for :- -snowball engineering UK repairing farm machinery - blondihacks scale down steam machines CAN - Matty’s workshop NZ - icwelding field repairs US - Joe pie.

[@SeaLubber]

Good morning from Canada 🇨🇦 I love my Friday morning Franna videos. Amazing work (and videography Karen)! I was in the Toronto airport recently wearing my CEE merch and a guy stopped me and said, “I love that channel!” Worldwide following! ❤

[@StaffordMagnus]

That new floor pan slotting into place was just *Chefs kiss*😚👌 Kurtis clearly isn't just a pretty face! 😁

[@09conrado]

Clever guy. He made that bottom a bit smaller, left the sides unwelded and a bit flaring out, so it would always fit and adjust to the hole. Weld it up and it's perfect every time. Apparently not his first time.

[@robertrawlings]

Karen Ive said it before but I'll say it again your camera skills are on another level ,thanks so much for making our Kurtis look so good lol, keep up the great work you two.❤

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Thank you Robert that's so lovely! 🥰

[@frenchphil189]

Nah.....it's Homey and Karen that make Kurtis look good.

[@hughobrien4139]

Damn this is like being in the second grade waiting on the next episode of Dukes of Hazzard to come on Friday night. Couldn’t wait for it. Except it’s 2am Friday morning and that’s just fine by me. Thanks for adding some constructive delight to the world we live in. Seeing good common sense in conjunction with skill and intelligence is a pleasure to witness.

what is a weekend?

[@cschwad559]

@@mathewritchieI use that response too !

[@russellbrower7018]

Right Bro. But i feel like a fiend waiting for 3am (Cleveland Ohio USA) Fri mornings for a fix. (I gotta get it right away before YT finds a reason to make Karen re-edit)

[@sifibuckle]

I wonder how much Franna is watching this serries and if they are enjoying it as much as we are?

[@gorillaau]

I reckon some would be loving the fact that one of their older cranes is getting an update and a new life.

[@masondegaulle5731]

I reckon they're watching with keen interest, and maybe might even take away an idea or two

[@jonowebster]

Hopefully with the keys to a new one given the amount of publicity they would have received from this series. Heck it's now the official DIY repair guide too.

[@davidallinson2501]

Super job. Much better than when it was originally built. This crane series is going to keep us entertained for quite sometime with what there is left still to do. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@kmg501]

By the time you get done with this thing it is going to be a work of art.

[@DennisHinkle]

In woodworking we call it a dry fit put it together then take it apart making sure it's proper before gluing. It can save a lot of hassle. Excellent job thank you for sharing.👍

[@mapo5976]

Punctual, reliable. Always a dependable video in all aspects. The amount of dedication associated to get these out week after week with a professional finish is commendable. Franna's getting there...... like no other. That pan fitted "perfect"

[@noureddinekherrouzi9040]

Although I have watched all the crane disassembly episodes, now I am following what you are doing with passion, every time we are waiting for the complete final picture of this project so we encourage you for that, thank you.

[@alanfenwick9307]

OMG that tray sliding home, hissing as it went, prefect fit. Awesome work as always. Thank you K, K & H 👍

[@Roland-jo4ck]

You make it look so easy, but being myself a fabricator/fitter I know how many hours of work and days of planning are behind this 45 minutes video

[@Alex-kp3hr]

Your attention to detail and precision has inspired me to rebuild my wood decking to a tolerance way down to + - 1/2 inch.

[@danielcarter305]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1697">28:17</a> nice job Karen. I love seeing tools like this brakeout from the other side. Grate shot and good job!👏👏👏😁😁😁 You definitely deserve a gold star on that one!🌟

[@ericeisele6933]

The side box looks great Kurtis! I hope the Franna people are watching. You are correcting all of their mistakes. Cheers from Florida you two,, and Homey. Enjoy your weekend ❤

[@barbararichards6066]

That floor pan slipped right in there just a perfect fit, it just goes to show it fits like a glove. from what I have seen is some precision fitment. keep up the good work kurtis

[@m.g.176]

One hour earlier than last week...I love the time change to winter time! Greetings from Austria, the Australia without Kangaroos 🤣 Thanks for your content!

[@jacob.s3619]

Bad Obsession dropped a ep for the first time in 18months....yet im still more excited to see CCE and the Frana crane project.

[@vascocap3607]

Wow ! The king of welding...and the Queen of vidéo mount...

[@tas32engineering]

Great example of how to weld & prepare. Fabrication & design keeps the thinking cap on. Editing effort to deliver a video on a regular basic also adds to great understanding of your channel.

[@AW-Services]

So much talent & skill under one roof. So much effort to ensure this crane is perfect

[@colinrountree4325]

I've been doing this sort of stuff for forty years and can honestly say Curtis is one skilled operator!👍👍fascinating to watch!👍

[@robertwilkins7780]

My brother was a life time metal fabricator. Now I see why he loved his job so much. It is incredible to watch Kurtis build this masterpiece. Sure would love to go back to being 20 again and change my vocation.

[@gorillaau]

It must be fun building something 3d out of 2d sheet metal, and figuring out how to do it.

[@gdotone1]

I truly enjoy watching you gear up with the right safety equipment to do your jobs. it reminds me to take care of me, and work at my own pace. excellent work. looking good. we want to see the dipping process too, 😀. ah man, another great one...

[@tomessary4099]

Wonderful work! Roget that on setup more than once to get it right and no cutting etc.!!!! Love seeing Homeless and his fav croc!!!! Woof!

[@jacquesbooth2829]

I started rewatching the series (again). The transformation is unreal.

As always, we who are about to receive your offering, salute you. Thank you so much for our Friday present! Cheers, Alan Berlin

[@sniperfi4532]

Recovering from surgery and have been waiting for this. Although mine was minor compared to the surgical work you’ve done to the Franna. Keep it up guys!

[@aarondavies8486]

What you had done am going under the knife next week hope you get well soon mate

Here's to a speedy recovery SniperFi. Get well soon dude.

Hey guys and girls, perfect start to my weekend eve day. Thanks for the Franna crane content, this is what I enjoy the most. I really can't wait to see what this machine looks like when Kurtis is done. That guy dont half ass anything. Yall enjoy your weekend!!!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

We can't wait to see the finished look either! 🤩

[@tannernewton8543]

After 2 years of trying to get a hat mine arrived today! And I get to sit and watch this episode while wearing it! Haha 😆

Looks inspired by the Cyber Truck, great job, really impressive.

[@stevecallaghan3245]

Why does everything go so perfectly for you! Great work mate

[@Kirill_Maker]

Was a crane, become the tank! Nice restoration, looking forward for 4-10h full video in the end ;)

[@Johannes58934]

Greetings from Florida! For some reason I woke up at 2am... Looked at my phone and saw the CEE video notice! Still a bit of jet lag and running on CET zone. Massive undertaking and I'd say Kurtis is doing a great job! Gonna need a huge vat to dip the cab... That would be cool to see! Have a great weekend! 🎉🎉

[@Steven-v6l]

Kurtis, you are really good with gouging rods -- amazing

[@texastriguy]

Karen's camera work and cinematography is getting really good - nice work constantly finding ways to improve your production quality!

[@maboscience35]

Good morning Greetings from Belgium 😊. No better way to start our Friday morning with a new Franca crane episode and a cup of coffee. Have a restful weekend Big paw from Sadie & Rønne

[@frankmartin8471]

Meticulous fabrication work. Very impresive how the various parts fit together so nicely.

[@iolithblue]

For those playing at home, an air arc gouger uses a carbon rod and compressed air to "unweld", like a reverse stick welder. In skilled hands (our esteemed hero here, for example) they are surprisingly accurate. Super loud tho. Hearing pro a must.

[@zackariahkingi6696]

Immaculate! My friday night with CEEA. Great entertainment, i also learn alot from your videos too! Hello from Sunny Hawkes Bay New Zealand :) Love it!

[@larsnachhaltigkeitimalltag3013]

Today it was welding like in a ship yard, well done.

[@maxkayser4609]

Franna-Friday! 🎉 Yes! 😁 and I can watch it early today 😃

[@Albatrossamongus]

The first assembly video last week was the KZbin equivalent of comfort food. So satisfying seeing it all go together and everything ending up in it's right place with a bit of Curtis' skillful persuasion. Looking forward to part two!

[@SunnybraeCroft]

Coming along nicely, lots of hours invested in what will become a positive asset. Have a lovely weekend.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@o0FranklySpeaking0o]

The chalk use is so satisfying but I don't know why 😊

[@libsrdum]

The quality of the filming and editing is equal to the quality of the fabrication work. It makes my old back hurt to watch the contortions involved in welding. It must be physically exhausting. Thanks for such great videos.

[@catlee8064]

Morning everyone, Im sitting here with a tea and bacon roll, hungover. Mouth like a used cat litter box and and pain that starts behind my left eyeball and sweeps round the back of my head.......and now i have to sit here and listen to a gouger and some hammering.....balls!!!!

[@archangel729]

Sweeeetttttt another Frana Friday woot woot lol once the Frana crane is done im going to go back and watch every episode again marathon style lol 😊

[@gorillaau]

Happy Bingeing when you do.

[@billdoodson4232]

I'd forgotten that the clocks went back last weekend. Getting CEE at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="420">07:00</a> now, which means I get an hour less lie in. But I'm not going to complain, excellent stuff as usual.

Such a great series ...

[@martinjohansson7365]

Your Franna Crane is going to be much better than the original. I used to work as a CNC-Operator at Sandvik Raiseboring Sweden. We sold a lot of mining equipment to Australia. Raiseboring by the way is when you drill a hole (pilothole) up to 1000meters down and then pull a disc up to make a larger hole. I was making parts of the drillingmecanism. The smallest was about 2meters to 7meters in diameter.

[@StevenStyczinski-sy8cj]

I am very impressed with how well your jigsaw puzzle is going together.

[@chrisarmstrong8198]

FYI, the Galvanizers Association of Australia have a publication on their website that describes best practices for designing components that will be hot-dip galvanized. e.g thin sheet warps like crazy and drainage paths for the pickling acid and molten zinc have to be carefully considered.

[@NatNewstead-uk2nm]

Hello from Sydney. Great video as always. Love the Franna build. Kurtis doing some fantastic work that is gunna outlast us all 🙂... Excellent video & editing by Karen, & Homeless is giving us some laughs too. Thank you 👍.

[@warrendon1388]

When I remember that you folks are rebuilding the Franna and directing, producing and recording the enormous effort in your spare time while still running the CEE business six days a week, I feel thoroughly privileged to be able to watch such high quality videos week in/week out. Respect, heaps and heaps!!

[@Paul-q1d5l]

Another great video, I'm loving seeing the crane come together - that's going to be a machine you can be damn proud of. I hope you are going to bling it up with the paint - if it was me I'd go for a bright gloss yellow. I'm a retired Man Arts teacher, I love seeing the amazing work you do.

[@desclark4276]

Brilliant as always Thank you for all that you both do. Keep well and enjoy the weekend.
