Linnie and Squiggy at it again better than Abott and Costello ...

[@brucebredeman2189]

Lonnie and squiggly are embarrassed by this comparison 😅

[@nathanscott7910]

I love the shop days. You two put a smile on my face everytime.

[@regsparkes6507]

Yep, works for me too,...great coffee time video!

[@randyharris8669]

The bantering is hilarious😂

[@gardeningfishingjimw9364]

I really needed that Comedy Hour's entertainment!! You two are a hoot!!

[@whotknots]

Your shenanigans with the oxy cutting reminded me of a saying Matt over at Diesel Creek sometimes uses "a grinder and paint can make me a welder I ain't".

[@markpace779]

That trailer is awesome. Glad you decided to add the work lights, great decision. But I agree, not sure how often you’ll use it. I’m also glad Arron finally got his clay pipe picking jig he’s been dreaming about. That should work great and his welds are beautifully done. Nice shop project.

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have a great week.

[@localcrew]

I still close my eyes when Aaron says “Eyeballs”.

[@kymw7833]

A wet day in the shop is the best Mike it's obvious you enjoy winding Aaron up and he is funny you clearly work well together ,thanks for the laughs mate much appreciated Kym Adelaide

[@tomwainwright7102]

It`s been one of those days boys, thanks for cheering me up....again.👍👍👍👍

[@tdkrei]

I can't believe two guys can have so much fun and get so much work done at the same time. Love it! Keep on smiling.

[@NiklasNorlen]

Well i guess Aaron welding on something always make it better, great job!

[@latisimusd]

You two just make me grin. Thanks for the enjoyment!

[@rssvss]

Dirt , i was blessed to work with a Aaron for nearly 30 years. Was never a argument that didnt turn into a laugh fest and reminisce time. I know you show it, but make sure you tell him regularly , just a simple i appreciate you. Those guys are once in a lifetime . The end of every work week i would tell him "Boomer Sooner" he always said "damn right" .I didn't even like OU , LOL One week it ended up being the last time i said it to him, no regrets he was a class act.

[@ChrisWright7701]

Seen a video recent. You can now get crok lights. Perfect for when you need to see where your feet are.

[@DMAN10]

If you’re having fun at your job…you’ll never have to work a day in your life! You guys rock the shop! Thanks for sharing DP!

[@alexmikhael5061]

...peeps have asked ''how to do a successfull utub channel.... simple answer is : LOVE WHAT YOU DO LOVE THE PEOPLE YOU DO IT WITH AND TAKE THE OTHER PEOPLE ALONG WITH while YOU DO WHAT YOU LOVE !!!!! and your channel WILL BE SUCCESSFULL.... but if you do it ''for the likes'' or for the $$ or the CLICKES or wutever, and don't LOVE WHAT YOU DO, the people eventually WILL CALL YOU OUT ON YOUR FAKENESS....... ;) ""the people"" are harsh oh well yea... ;)

[@user990077]

2:31 Those white packing foam squares makes great knee pad material. Just lay a strip of it along the floor when installing trim or whatever.

[@c-v-n3322]

shop days video's are the best but I think we need to see the bloopers of all the shop day vids.

[@cathiwim]

There arent enough hours in the day!

[@chrishelms1967]

Love these shop videos...... funniest stuff on KZbin

[@1RickBaja]

Aaron Running Dimes And Slag...lookin good Boys

[@michaelmullins1290]

The will it work video will be the best. Listening to who's idea it was to make whatever, however was best.

[@larryehrlich57]

You should paint the location of the empty balance point. Don't forget, we want blue skys!

[@thomtleonard46.]

I've missed you two guys working together here's such a laugh keep it up

[@NutsNBolts24]

My oldest brother always would say "If all else fails, read the instructions.😁

[@ErictheAmateur]

Tell Aaron to get one of those school convex school bus mirrors. That’s actually a good idea.

[@jamessievers3899]

Those 2 guys are always ready for a good laugh or2😂!

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Project looks awesome guys

[@steveferraro344]

Finally figured out what you were making. Looks great.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

You all have way tooooooo much fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@bobbydawson7706]

The lights were a great addition! Love the engineering! I give a 100 on the entertainment!! ❤❤❤. Loved the video.

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great job welding Aaron

[@edwardoberg6530]

OMG I’m laughing my butt off, I about threw my coffee when that mud hit the camera! I about jumped out of my chair 😂that was hilarious

[@rudyrivera7426]

[@jerryoxley9556]

I love the hilarity of you two in the shop! The one time that I always think of is the dot punch when you were doing the smoke stacks, you two couldn’t stop laughing and neither could I !! Jerry....UK

[@Metalheavenjockeolsson3653]

Shopdays are great,nice video😂😂

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron

[@Birdhuntingfool]

You two play great off each other.

[@davidporter2374]

My former work "buddies" used to get a kick out of scaring me when I was torching , only their choise was a M80 dropped behind me. One particlur jokester also poured a half cup of 140# gear oil into the manifold pipe of an engine I was performing an overhaul on. The kicker that aded to his dastercly deed was the seriuous sounding loud bang/clunk followed by an abrupt engine shut down(never did figure the noise out. but the smoke sure got a reaction from me!

[@Quarry4x4]

I have no idea what you built, but I enjoyed watching.

[@everestyeti]

Really like that light tower, nice watching all the banter in the workshop as well. 👍🤗

[@user-pi8vb9bh2u]

Flat washers are normally designed and used on the nut end of fastener systems, to act as a bearing surface during tightening.

[@JohnLOdle]

I made one for my job but I used large reinforced pipe at the top to eliminate any stress on the pipe plus made a large slide across the top ,for adjustment.

[@robertcarney6259]

great job shop banter makes the day.

[@JuanSanchez-bd3fi]

That Aaron make my day better the stuff he says just crack me up you both work great together you should get him a little tike yellow chair

[@MySynthDungeon]

Big smile on my face .. lov shop projects!! Cheers! U guys Rock!!;-)!!!

[@michaelowen1750]

When we made these years ago (back in the 80s) I would set the two ends tapered an inch or so together, figuring under load it's going to open up, and I'd rather it flex and hold the pipe flat, than flex and the pipe slide off

[@ProudPapaw88]

Great video Dirt Perfect and Aaron! I think you two should be the spoke “people” behind the scenes” of the fuel trailers. Thanks for sharing!!

[@rudyfisher7660]

Read the instructions because it might tell you how long the battery works

[@jimmyhicks1015]

Morning DP and Aaron

[@Denis-tu1pd]

That was a fun video. I was laughing. When you to get together it's like watching 2 best friends working together. Fun and awesome video. Denis from Santa Rosa CA

[@patrickehaynes]

You two remind me so much of my brother n law and myself. He passed last year and watching yall banter is very comforting! Keep making me smile!!

[@cyberhornthedragon]

well those are some awesome welds

[@dacurlydac3042]

FYI, You have at least 36 inches of weld around a 6 inch I- beam and about 9 inches around the lifting point. A 3/16 fillet is good for 2,784# per inch.

[@stevendegonia]

Next rainy day project: Saw Horses! #AaronBummManBehindTheScenesRules! 👍😎🤣

[@fransinyard891]

Good morning sunshine I love starting my day off with you & MBTS picking at each other I laugh the whole time & I enjoy it sooo much! Much love from Henderson Ga

[@bobbypeck1999]

You guys remember that show that's Entertainment Earth That's Entertainment live they don't have nothing on you all always in each other's business aren't you that's what makes it so funny keep up the good work

[@brandonheisey5139]

Use chain on the top to make an A, then chain binder for the long pice to adjust the angle it hangs for the weight and size difference

[@kirk467]

Mike, Chris (Letsdig18) needs one of those for his Thunder Creek, he just bought his and he likes it already! Y’all have had yours for a while now! It seems to have been a wonderful addition to your operation, sure saves money and time for being mobile and can go to whatever job you have going! By the way I love watching y’all fabricate different things in your shop! That’s going to be cool brother, y’all definitely needed that addition to the thunder creek trailer! Looks great Mike and Aaron! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 For those late nights fueling everything for the next day!

[@michaelhuhn90]

Thinking ahead, I like it. Being ahead of the game pays off and a rain day in the shop gives you time to sort out a pipe rig. Keep up the good work Guys.

[@danielelwell2571]

DP Fabrications, at it again.

[@sonnyblazer5504]

She is the "MIGHTY FINE UNIT" ! Leave it to you for another useful piece of equipment to get the job(s) done!

[@CantKillMe]

🎉 can't wait to see what that thing does. If I didn't know it better, I would say you two are brothers😂 keep it up

[@steveleverett2644]

You two argue like brothers 😂😂😂😂

[@rhondasweeney7271]

I can hardly wait to see this work! 😊

[@RAYAR54]

I believe you're going to need a lifting lug at the balance point for inserting and retracting from the pipe. You likely already have that figured out if you been using it already. Great video. Aaron, keep a good battery in that Go-Pro.

[@KevinHeadlam-Tasmania]

I agree with you that having a multiple lifting point is essential for safety and ease of use The system I "like" is a large lifting ring that is captured in a long slot that allows you to estimate /then try /confirm the most appropriate lift point. The upper slot surface is manufactured with continuous sawtooth notches that prevent the ring to slide when under load. Another advantage is the speed of change from lifting an empty frame and then lift the pipe, unhook the pipe - All without a shackle or unhooking

[@RAYAR54]

@@KevinHeadlam-Tasmania With using the excavator, or even the skid steer, you could just let the chain slack enough to slide it side-ways to where you need your next lifting point to be. A one person operation could be achieved right from the operators station. No one needed to reset the lifting point.

[@edsargent6824]

don't get me wrong I love the videos you and the man behind the scenes look like the 3 stooges some times and I sit here and about fall on the floor laughing just love it!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

lol glade you enjoy

[@davidanalyst671]

The only thing that thunder creek is missing is a lil grill on the back so you can warm up some burgers and dogs before lunch... and you got the light to work late, so warm up dinner too

[@gwbuilder5779]

Man Behind the Scenes Rules! 😂🤣

[@markhartzog7036]

You need to call the shop grumpy old mens. Just like movie. Lol

[@joejohnson7097]

Lights going to be a great for night work. Love your engineering on equipment for your uses. Love the entertainment always thanks for the video

[@stevengunter2843]

Is there anything you two couldn’t do love shop time!!

[@richardphelan8414]

Good times comedy Hour with Mike and Arron

[@garymessina1609]

Great fun great build great video thanks Mike and Aron

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Just about always grinning when you guys get into it! 😁

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Mike and MBTS 🇺🇸

[@Papato12]

I'd put another lifting lug on the pipe hook at the balance point, just about where the strap was for moving it empty. I would also use a hook on it's dedicated chain so your ground man can quickly move it to the lug that carries the pipe level. 3 lugs will be enough to handle 2 different sizes/weights of pipe with one for neutral/empty. Or, I could just STHU. Y'all are doing it your way.

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands. i love the shop project video's thanks for the video Dp and Aaron . Sincerely Hollandduck

[@Jammer.1]

I would of added 1 more tab to the top closer to the other end so if your in tight place could hook a chain to it for balancing it out !

[@ronpeacock9939]

I love the fabricating... though I might have put a quick-coupler connection for your 120 or 210 on it and treated it like a bucket... but that's me... Avoid chains when possible...

[@terryrogers1025]

Light system looks nice and should work well for you, the pipe lift should work well, any rate, beats lifting them with chain or strap to place them. Great idea with the handle the back. Thanks for the tag along video.

[@dansevern3291]

Okay, I probably should feel bad for this, but I did enjoy watching the crane control drag MBTS across the shop. 😁

[@fredcroad331]

He needs a pair of roller skates, it will just pull him around. Lol

[@philipfleming3546]

Great video, great job. Sure is relaxing on a rainy day to be able to have some great camaraudery an get lot of work accomplished.

[@mikesmith8952]

Dirt Perfect would not be perfect w/o Arron being involved in so many aspects of the channel.. His friendship is priceless.

[@chrismiller3973]

Laurel and hardy back on our screens

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Watching you two is like watching a long time married couple! You both make me smile. Can't wait to see whatever this is put to use.

[@silentepsilon888]

I think they will use this to lay clay pipe drains. The lower beam slips into the round clay pipe while the top beam gets attached to the excavator to lift the whole thing up, This way DP does not have to clamp the pipes with his bucket and thumb. This jig will also make it easier to stack the pipes in the yard and more guys can do that work because it does not require a lot of skill like bucket and thumb do.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

@@silentepsilon888 Thanks. I rewatched the video and that's exactly what Mike said less than 30 sec into the video! I really appreciate the information you shared.🤗

[@wfstp456]

Hey this old timer is a expert on backing up with a tennis ball on a magnet. Its old school but it works. Love video thanks

[@richardthomas1743]

Good morning!

[@karenfaber7049]

You two are like brothers. Lol

[@whotknots]

My thinking is if you oriented that rebar handle crossways instead of vertically it could make lifting easier and torquing it would be no more difficult

[@steveb5280]

Can you make a pivot point on a thing that you put the pipes in the ground

[@buzzycaswell4081]

Awesome video I like the way you guys bust each other 😊

[@user-pi8vb9bh2u]

Hard hat should be used by A during overhead lifting.

[@thebear5454]

Love how you come up with gadgets to solve problems. Watching you two spar is hilarious. Keep the great videos coming Mike.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@jeffreybrookes9731]

If I were to close my eyes and just listen to you two ladies,I might come to the conclusion that I was transported to a bingo hall😊

[@vladislavkolarik8019]

It meant to be you two like zig &zag. Since when this is comedy chanel it's good that you guys having fun while working.

[@silentepsilon888]

gotta love Aaron, with a totally straight face .."..any way you can fire the dragline up, I think we got a straight shot to get it out". 🤣🤣🤣

[@erikcourtney1834]

That’s a pretty sweet light plant. I’m curious to see how long it will last on a charge. Obviously it’s designed for daily maintenance and not a work light, unlike diesel/gas powered light plants. Unless you can feed it power while using. Surprised Chris didn’t get one…. Yet
