Love the energy of this guy. You kinda know he's ahead of you.

[@Z4G.]

This guy is the pinnacle of a motor enthusiast. Works on everything mechanical and seems to absolutely love it. Such a guy, great video Peter.

[@NickKautz]

I like that he gets most excited about a little 125cc Sachs engine.

[@FOH3663]

Dude's a mechanical genius, gearhead, computer wiz, and all in enthusiast! Bravo

[@digifimedia]

Alltid spännande att veta mer om Svenska företag som jobbar inom motorsporten!

[@Splitfinger709]

This was an awesome shop tour! As a machinist myself, I love the layout of the shop.

[@TravisFabel]

YES! Clean, and so much space! Logically laid out. Love it.

[@crazypict]

What a guy and what a workshop he had! Amazing. Ha was a true car, boat and bike enthusiast. Great video!

[@crocket1971]

That's what I love about sweden and that as a small country (in population). Knowledge, skills and motivation! The swedish attitude...disgn, manufacturing en have the motivation to realize it in Sweden!

[@MrJamesBanana]

First time i've heard Swedish Rally-English, love it!

[@MrJamesBanana]

Also, as someone that works at an engine factory, I'm rather surprised how few steps it is! I think our shortest line is around six machines, and our longest probably closer to 100.

[@fornavnetternavn2742]

You should look up Petter Solberg, Norwegian Rally-English 😅

[@thomasjansson2019]

Or marcus grönholm, finnish rally english 😂

[@mattebigge]

Same English teacher as they used on the finnish Hydraulic press channel! 😀 👍

[@KrazyKeith4]

I've heard a lot of French Rally-English, mainly bc my dad was a big Sébastien Loeb fan.

[@Enrios]

This guy is living the dream. Big respect

[@HulluJanne]

Just amazing stuff! When he said "some of the machines here, we bought them very cheap" and so on... I immediately thought to myself "this is how real business is done". Hats off big time! Nowadays there is so much "stuff" floating around because of odd deadlines, budgets, people who don't understand basic or advanced mechanics or are not wanting to "use time" to make stuff work again (and even better than before), and so on... I really appreciate people with broad knowledge of stuff, even if they are not making big waves in those industries.

[@xx1219]

You can tell this man has a passion and is living his dream! Thank you for showing us, very inspiring.

[@slasher9883]

What an awesome shop tour! I know there are plenty of these hidden gem hi-tech workshops in Sweden, so would be awesome if you made a series out of these Peter.

[@rkan2]

You could do many parts just this workshop! Love it!

[@awingard9902]

En av de bästa på youtube, inget flashigt flamstrams utan bara sånt man vill se. Alltid imponerad över din kunskap, tummen upp för dig 👌👍

[@the5th2000]

What a great video. Intersting, informative. And fantastic energy from that man! Brilliant to see that the pinnacle of engine engineering and motorsport still starts with committed, knowledgeable and passionate individuals

[@oscarkristiansson6127]

really cool to see! Nice that koenigsegg source parts from sweden!

[@mikaelmartin9288]

Fantastiskt person. Tack för videon. 😊

[@anthonyswan4437]

I love the more frequent videos I found your channel a couple weeks ago and I’ve been watching them constantly. I was hoping you would start uploading more and you have.

[@dougankrum3328]

What a terrific guy to show us all his secrets...and one of the most immaculate shops I've ever seen...just Awesome in every way......"We just make a few connecting rods to pay for our toys and hobbies...!!"

[@decaay]

Jättekul att du tar dig tid att filma sånthär! Lärorik och intressant och dessutom jäkligt kul att titta på! Du är grym Peter!

[@EddieIrvine106]

I love seeing people have a passion in what they do

[@maxcactus7]

The part about American "Wee-8" engines was my favorite! Positively fantastic video. Cheers to all the very dedicated craftsmen who make these mechanical marvels. I enjoyed the engineering, machining and manufacturing overview.

[@williampankratz600]

This is the inside of the hot rod shop with the one person that actually lives for this Thanks for one of the best shop tours

[@error079]

Tack för rundturen. Kul att företag i grannbyn gör stakar till hela världen.

[@GeoffSeeley]

Loved every aspect of this tour! The presenter was awesome and obviously knows his craft in many different domains.

[@tiqunaatio]

Great video, alot of information about all of those big machines. Keep it up!

[@brianbob7514]

This is great, thank you for the tour.

[@niklaswo]

School book example of Swenglish. You have a lot to learn Peter! 😝

[@42Hertzer]

😂

[@jareknowak8712]

I bet that the average Englishman or American speak Swedish worse than the average Swede speak English! (:P)

[@curvs4me]

😂🤣

[@billfromgermany]

Difficult to understand your comment. It‘s rude and inaccurate. I find the english clearly spoken, and grammatically correct. Maybe as a non-native english speaker yourself you have a lot to learn.

[@curvs4me]

@@billfromgermany Bill, woke is not cool. Life is too short to be thin skinned. Call me an A-hole, tell me I look like a troll, or maybe that I have a face that only a mother could love. I'll laugh right along with you. Even if I was missing a leg and you said you've got a leg up on me. I would laugh hysterically. These are the moments in life we remember. Scowling around every corner benefits no one.

[@CeeCeeOy]

I also have custom rods made by Stefan. 200hp per rod for my supercharged Viper 8.3L V10

[@gafrers]

Fantastic Tour. Detailed, informative. AMAZING Quality as always

[@nikolaiownz]

That was alot of fogging for one video haha. Thanks for the video. I have s small Machine shop myself and I love seeing a small shop doing high end stuff.

[@rollydoucet8909]

Amazing shop tour. As someone who works in the motorsports world, I'm well aware that not all parts are produced by the suppliers we buy from. This look into the connecting rod industry is quite informative. Thank you.

[@hurrdurrimaburr]

Gotta love the Swenglish.

[@TheReinoPaasonen]

Super intresting, please make these factory / shop videos more Peter.

[@bobo5884]

How cool is that guy??!! Awesome vid! That shops power bill has to be outrageous!

[@Dajjmen]

Vilket avsnitt, sjukt intressant och vilken ägare att dela med sig om allt detta. Underbart! Gör gärna fler besök där man går igenom steg för steg om han är villig att visa!

[@22k203902]

This episode could easily be 1 hour!! Thanks really interesting, and what a passion for the work he does!!

[@alfabethev2.074]

Tack! Roligt att se Svenska företag i framkant inom sitt gebit 👍🏻

[@Helder_Paulo]

always nice to listen Portugal doing nice things even at 50cc range =)

[@MUDNROCKS]

Always wondered where Mike Southwards boat went, now I know, saw it run once it was a missile. Mikes dad was a pioneer and all round clever bugger too.

[@heartsky]

The bigger machine advantage is something learned from many years, thanks, good to know.

[@281Race]

Såå häftig film, där skulle man kunna glida runt i flera dagar och bara "dregla" över alla cnc maskiner, såna man bara drömmer om själv. Och sen ej att förglömma "leksaks hörnan" he he. Det finns ju sjukt mycket skickliga ingenjörer och kunnigt folk överlag i vårat avlånga land och du är ju en av dom grymmare "teknik snillena" själv Peter👌👍

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Fantastic video and tour, great hearing from a gentleman with such a depth of knowledge, wonderful workshop all round 👌👌

[@Paxmax]

Very cool and humble guy. Geez frick what a massive process to make a Conrod, much more elaborate than I would've guessed. I was thinking "Yeah, he got all that but what about peening?" Not even 10 secs later "Here's the small 0.5mm hardened steel balls for peening". 😂 Fark me, he is way ahead of my wildest dreams.

[@ztwntyn8]

This should really interesting! Can’t wait to watch it! Thank you for the insight and content friend.

[@badgermetal]

Every time you turned around the tools and toys got better. Very cool tour! Greetings from Alaska.

[@Bigbirdlittledog]

Ladybug was a legendary boat in NZ! Thanks

[@9alerix]

Another awesome video from Peter!!

[@stevensmart8868]

Nice to see the ladybug hydroplane race boat again. I remember it well as it was fitted out at the factory where I did my apprenticship. Good time's Nice shop tour. Cheers for sharing

[@edsmachine93]

Nice connecting rods. Very good engineering and technology. Thanks for sharing. Take care, EM.

[@Ricken2022]

This guy has so much knowledge, that’s not replaceable...you can tell the passion he has for this type of career..The cost of all those machines , I wonder how they can produce there product in the quantity’s needed to pay for all the costs involved .

[@mk1cortinatony395]

Brilliant! stefan is a real enthusiast too. Great tour, thanks

[@BrunoSantos-kb8dn]

From Portugal, nice 50cc Sachs conecting rods 😂

[@dc6233]

Amazing, thank you for the tour! Millions of dollars in some phenomenal machinery, this man is so smart!! I so wish I had the ability to change the stroke of a crankshaft and shorten the rod on my 80's Honda ATC engines, very expensive procedures...

[@jareknowak8712]

Great episode!! Thanks to You and the Auto Verdi Team!!

[@TBendez]

Lysande! Grym energi och positivism hos Stefan!

[@jarnokarjalainen]

Jävligt bra video. 👌

[@andrekemp5059]

Im very impressed with his workshop. And the F1 powerboat and aprilia 125cc GP1 in the background. Engineers are fasonated by machines.

[@Malkier42]

Fyfan va flashbacks ja fick av cnc fräsarnas muller från när vi byggde formelbil på universitetet :) väldigt kul att se denna maskinpark!

[@davidrussell8689]

Very impressive shop . Great to see you’re making your own tools and dies / machine refurbs . That’s real passion for engineering .

[@EasyFold007]

Very interesting man...Great shoptour, thx :)

[@paulsimonsson]

Wow, great visit. This guy is legendary.

[@tompayne4945]

Love to see a business run to fund a life and hobby. It's the right way to enjoy your job🙏

[@jamest5149]

Awesome, great insight and company 👍

[@Patrick94GSR]

Haha I just can’t get over his pronunciation of “forging” with a hard G. Never heard it pronounced that way! 😂

[@RaymondLester-t7i]

Excellent, first for me total process of Forged Conrod Manufacturing Process

[@Visionery1]

This gent is like a walking computer, and very willing to share. I used to work at a DB engine manufacturing plant, I loved the sound of the big V-engines running in the test bays when coming to work, and going down to the line on a Friday at 2PM after all factory workers had left, to check out the machinery responsible for the grinding of cranks, con-rods etc. 11:17, I thought SAAB closed down?

[@InIMoeK]

Nice! I have Auto Verdi rods for my GTiR engine

[@samteks125]

GTI-R, great car well ahead of its time back when it was new. Sadly, hard to find a good one that's affordable. Take good care of it!

[@gorandahvu9442]

Skojigt å Bra. Hoppas På Lite Nytt Från Bilarna. Å Alla E. Kvar.Ha De Bäst.

[@superkas]

Wow, thanks for the tour man, its really nice too see what behind the scene.

[@michaellk2254]

He loves wrenching and it shows! Awesome honest guy

[@petervossos4816]

It is hard to believe that the ICE will be phased out by 2030 after watching this video. Love it …want to see more workshops developing engine blocks and heads. Thank you Peter.

[@stevesloan6775]

Im at 6:00 and thinking what an amazing engineer... Thank you so much for sharing!

[@bernardwarr4187]

Another great video Peter. Many thanks, your English is very good and you are very easy to listen too and understand. I hope your friend makes some Rods for my M119 Mercedes 6liters v8 soon

[@xuejiaoxu6778]

Great tour of a top class facility

[@GB-vn1tf]

Some awesome machining going on in this shop!

[@HHCHunterYTC]

love the Swedish pronouncing/accent going on. FORG-ING

[@Deemon1]

Insane factory, insane talented Stefan.

[@ashtechltd]

Really cool guy is Stefan, this video reminded me he needs to call me back about some rods 😉

[@turbocrimeengineering7963]

Great video! Stefan is a very nice person , I had the pleasure to met him last year in Germany at the Professional motorsport expo

[@funkytransport]

wow.. what a shop!!!!! seriously impressive. thanks

[@dukie1616]

So clean, very nice tour thank you👏 Also I hope he finds time to enjoy his engine building hobbies and get them out for a spin.

[@GordonjSmith1]

What a great visit ! My thanks for sharing it with us.

[@jesperwall839]

I would love to work at Verdi. Seems like a very nice place to work 👍😀

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

[@NSPOOL]

Very cool video, loved the tour and the guide was a nice guy :D

[@conradengstrom4098]

Riktigt roligt att se vad ni pusslar med. Särskilt för mig som kör storsax, på Monark, även 125 som du visade.

[@masoncnc]

Great tour. Great people. Get that gent a horizontal.

[@wald3mar]

No-nonsense perfect shop. Great vid! 👍👍

[@rkan2]

Everyday you come across people who should also have a KZbin channel!

[@oldrookie7621]

Men så grymt fränt. Kul att se att det inte bara är elektronik som Sverige är bra på. Kul att Koenigsegg kör med svenska motordelar!

[@hernandovillamarinbuenaven7476]

Fantastic tour!!.. Made me feel like a tour in Heaven.. 😁🏆

[@FeeeshEP3]

that was awesome‼️thank you for sharing Peter

[@rm6330]

Little known legendary company!

[@martinultimatevw3779]

Awesome guy and great company!! Thanks for this video 🤘🤘

[@nurburgringdreaming2221]

I’m sure with all his machines he’s addressed the valve guide issue on his ZO6 corvette. LOL Nice video

[@dennisschmitter7310]

Loved this!! Very cool stuff!

[@0x33_Uk]

Impressive facility. I feel like this is going to be Peter in 30 years from now :D

[@justinb9223]

That was incredible!
