I have a suggestion for ya, (I know your not on "youShould" your on "youTube" but with the awesome CNC system you have could make up some excavator quick attach bucket ear mounts for the 1ton mini's 90mmx92mm for the rest of us DIY'ers who have welders but no CNC system...yet and sell they really cheap or you could sell them for a reasonable amount too lol.

Great design I welded a plate on my bucket that stays on all the time. If you get a chance find you a 6” pipe and make a mop to go on your bucket as well. You will find that real handy as well.

[@johnfogg7858]

Nicely done!! I really enjoy this kind of content - actually, I enjoy all of your content. This video was nowhere near "too long". I was unaware of the calibrate feature in Fusion 360. I don't currently use 360, but that might be the feature that convinces me to switch.

The "Trifecta" , great video Kyle. I bought a trenching bucket for my Kubota mini ex to muck my pond, works great.

get 2 or 3 replacement tooth, weld a flat bar... done.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Ya i over did it. I thought the two bolts would be easier than dealing with 3 of those compression pins too.

[@Freedom17762]

Those are basically called a butter board in the excavation world. But usually we just weld a flat piece of steel to the teeth on the bucket. I like your design better.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Good to know. I think i over did it but it will be nice to have. Plan on using it on the shoreline of the pond.

[@Freedom17762]

@@SpicerDesignsLLC should work perfect for that. I actually need to weld one on my one foot bucket for digging around utilities. Less likely to hit something if your spotter can see the back of the cutting edge. Looking forward to seeing how yours holds up.

This was a great video. You thought out your design pretty well. Neat project to illustrate. The feature using your cell phone and importing to fusion is a really neat and useful feature. Showing the plasma table, the laser engraving and using the camera made for great build. I know you are just trying to add a little humor but I hope we don't see an accident getting you hurt from the stunt work you add. 🙂As always, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more of your projects.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thank you! When the channel gets bigger i plan on hiring a stunt man. Might be a while

[@TheTwinCitiesBestHomesdotcom]

Good thought @joewhitney4097 but he's still too young get hurt.

[@dane9175]

Just go to the scrap yard pick up a piece of I beam hold it with your bucket and thumb you can change it to any angle you want. Not as pretty but it works. If you're really going savage A log works🤔

[@lonewolfFirearms]

Great idea.

[@appalachianman824]

Thats Bad Ass !!!

[@JCWren]

I personally don't mind the longer video lengths. If you find that the cutting edge is wearing quickly, you could use some hard facing welding rod (such as Forney Supercote) and put an edge on there. You could also use some AR400 steel for the edge, but that's a lot more trouble to weld and usually requires pre-heating and low hydrogen filler rod.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks for the info. I could see it taking a beating with the hard clay here. We’ll see how it does.

[@JupiterMoJo]

That's good work right there. Just remember it's only overbuilt if deez'nutz never fail. 👍🍻🍻🍻

[@marcus_w0]

Nice video, nice trifactor! This was the first time, one of your falls seemed unintentional and pretty hurtful. So, either you're becoming a better stunt actor or you're getting even more clumsy... You really need a bucket of Kimron blue/teal for these attachments. This thing turned out fancy! Keep up your good work.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thank you! Ya i really sold that fall. Might have to start cutting back soon.

[@benjaminbright6826]

Great video. Did you put all you pieces in fusion and see how they would fit together in 3d before cutting?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I did not. I just left some tolerances so it would fit. Probably got lucky with how well it fit together.

[@richmiller2501]

Wow thats really cool.. How many hours do you think you have into that?

Too many. Probably about 20 or so. No less

Great project! I would have done it differently by getting another set of teeth and making the blade attach to them (with the spicy glue gun), that way there would be no extra holes in the bucket, but there are multiple ways to "count to 10"!!!!

Im not following. Im guessing your watching the part where i talk about the cardboard template.

[@GrassRootOutdoorWork]

4:22 4:57 as I got further in I see that you made the nuts captive. Since your cutting edge is on the front more wear and tear would be on that side. Just over thinking before I watched it all.
