I Made The Bombi Unsafe For Everyone, But Me!

[@franksprecisionguesswork501]

Re impossible welding positions: A long time ago my girl friend and I were headed out to dinner but I had to stop by a friends to see progress on a repair. He was stuck because even hanging up side down, there was now way to get in to see while welding. I said simple, just use a mirror. Girl friend produced a mirror from her purse and I welded the part. I was a bit embarrassed the welding put a bunch of dingle berries on her mirror, so she said “ keep it” . We got married a month later. That was 44 years ago. We are still married. I still have mirror in my tool box and I still use it.

Everyone who ever got any good at welding began as a beginner. Some jobs are more challenging than others, and trying new stuff is how you get experience. Good job, Rhett.

[@joeblowe5813]

Everyone who ever got any good at ANYTHING began as a beginner. Nobody is born knowing how to do stuff already. You learn as you go along, and everyone has to start somewhere. I remember when I first started training to drive 18-wheelers. When I arrived for my first day of classes in December 2004, I had never even been inside of a big rig, let alone ever driven one. Now, nearly 20 years later, I can just hop up in one, push off the airbrakes, throw 'er in gear and motor on down the highway just as if I had been doing it all of my life. But I HAVE'NT been doing it all my life. I had to start somewhere just like everyone else, as I did that first day in December '04, and learn things by trial and error as I went along.

As a kid who grew up in mechanic garages and tool shops, I appreciate how calm you are with Rhett. Im 27 now, and i would get pissed whenever the older guys got upset that im not perfect. Sure it led to me being better, but they would simply yell and get mad instead of telling me what I should do and how to fix it.

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

It's a fine line when teaching. When the boss or the older guys yell or criticize it makes the novice feel bad. To avoid that feeling in the future, they must either quit or improve. A father or father figure can get the same feeling with an honest evaluation. Since young people seek the approval of mentors and fellow workers, praise should be proportionate to the quality of work.

[@MCLefka]

​@johnguilfoyle3073 this was years ago and I'm still bitter. I was a novice, and they wouldn't actually teach me anything. They would just yell. I would use the internet to teach me. As soon as my contract ended I moved on. Cant expect someone to learn if they don't know what they did wrong

Still learning every day but having a good relay with my son is so rewarding.

It took me a while to learn the "stand back and point" technique, and it was hard not losing my patience. I learned that I am able to ask them how they would do the job and compliment them on the idea they propose, then I proceed to give advice for modifications that would have a, "value added benefit". And for the most part, it is their idea. That means they get the pride of creation through the manifestation of an idea!

[@Studio23Media]

My dad never learned how to deal with his emotions or communicate his feelings, so as a result our relationship has always been very strained. My whole life the one thing I wanted to do was fix up a car with him. I didn't care if we would be changing the oil on a beater or doing a frame off restoration of a classic, I just wanted to have that connection with my father, especially as him getting a classic car encouraged my interest in cars. When I finally got my first got at 15 and it needed a bit of work before I got my license at 16, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity. But he would work on the car by himself, often at times when I was sleeping or doing school activities or he'd just go do it and not say anything. I still don't know if it was malicious or not, but the experience really set the tone for the second 15 years of our relationship from then on. I'm almost 30 now, and I see him once or twice a month and we get along pretty good. But any more than a day or two at a time, and he'll find a reason to ruin it. I'm very thankful I had a couple men in my life who recognized my dad's parenting, and took me under their wing and were father figures to me growing up. Anyways, I'm rambling. From my experience, I'd say just be patient with your son, and try to include him in projects. Don't just have him be a tool fetcher either. Being included in a project with your dad at that age, and really getting to be hands on is a pretty powerful confidence builder.

[@randyfraser7891]

A couple tips when you want a full seal weld. Make sure you clean off any paint or anything that could become a contaminant in your weld. Contamination causes porosity which won't help with a seal weld. Second tip, grind your starts and stops and weld back over the end of the last weld. This will help promote full penetration and a proper seal rather than what is referred to as cold lap. I was also taught MIG is the worst process for a seal weld, TIG would be your best bet for success on a seal weld!

SUGGESTION about the grab bar: no matter how high you raise it above the roof, recess it at least 10" back from the back side of the cab, so it lets you use the roof as the seat and grab bar as the backrest of the chair(or securing cage-like surround bar). Basically, it goes up from corners, then bends backwards as deep as you require for enough seating comfort, then turns across the roof and finishes the same on the other side.

[@KenWilcox-b5c]

Hello Mat. Just to let you know of the pending trouble you are about to cause your shoulder joints. I was in the military for over 20 years. Different trials were carried out on steering systems as you are proposing. While your system might seem novel to you, or maybe you just want to be a stubborn old fox that won’t let go of your offset levers. After using the Bombi for just a couple of hours you will be sorry you ever thought about it. A jolt in your machine while pulling on one or worse still both in an emergency can and has in the past lead to you pulling your shoulder joint right out of its socket. If you want a novel, yet sensible way of steering you can easily fit remote mounted servos connected to the master cylinders that operate the servo with another master cylinder then they are piped to the respective brake chambers or slave cylinders. You have lots of room on the Bombi to mount them anywhere as they are piped from the standard master cylinders. Get the bore sizes right, ie small bore master cylinder to larger bore slave cylinder is equivalent to longer levers. This would mean very little force would be required by the operator even possibly with two short levers dash mounted. This would give much more space in the cabin giving a much easier entry or emergency exit from the Bombi. As your idea might appear good, just imagine having to strip your whole system out again because yourself or one of your amazing team dislocates one or the other shoulder. Lots of experience in trials and uses of such ideas should count towards your decisions on your rebuild. All the very best to you all and keep the great content flowing.

With a little fancier fab work, you could even a locking mechanism to the third lever as an emergency/parking brake.

with turning brakes thats redundant, whenever the side you dont want to spin starts spinning you just apply more brake yourself to compensate

[@JoelDeVito-s6p]

Hey just a thought. Since the brake levers are going to be in between the 2 front seats, why not parrallel the throttle on the passenger side so you could drive from either seat. Could come in handy.

[@McMikeful]

Matt you look tired get some rest and have a recovery weekend. All the best from Japan and the team your epic keep up rolling hope we can soon see the design you choose for the cooler✌️

[@dwhunts]

Just a suggestion. You might look into doing some acetylene torch welding on some of that thin stuff. I have found it can be a gentler way to weld. Slower, for sure, but sometimes that's what's needed.

[@dfsmachinist5941]

They also have TIG setup, but seem to not have anyone who's comfortable with it.

[@major__kong]

Or TIG. Much better heat control, I think. I just bought a TIG welder and I don't even know how to weld 🤷‍♂️

[@coyster530]

Man you're doing a good job recovering from knee surgery that was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do I still have permanent nerve damage from the surgery I'm glad everything went good for you man

[@robinrapport8728]

So good to see your kids and Paul’s kids working with both of y’all.

[@jeffclark3932]

Happy Sunday MORR crew! Bombi-Bee is looking great!

[@cwc5531]

Great journey on this build. Great support and help from everyone. Great to see your son's involvement. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@terrencengametua8499]

I have a suggestion with the lever or accelerator. Have it on the chair like the excavator when you control the arms and bucket of the excavator. That way, you will lean back relaxing. I know it's possible to make. You guys are good at that.

[@benja_mint]

There was an episode a while ago where he said he didn't want that, I can't remember why

[@the_undead]

Most of that kind of a scheme could be possible to make. It would be incredibly difficult and probably not worth the effort, especially if Matt wants to make these vehicles difficult to drive for somebody who doesn't know how to drive them, because that makes theft much harder

[@kevindeaver9598]

Since he isn't getting a seat, you should have a harness that will attach him to the grab bar that will allow him to film with both hands if needed and will keep him from falling off. You guys are great!

[@geroldknoebel3836]

Matt, I think it's great that you organize so many small events and bring joy to so many people. Very nice video. Good advice, anything that needs to be waterproof and pressure resistant, have it welded with TIG and if it is cooler with you, preheat well. Greetings from Frankfurt.

[@derekmeadows5607]

You are loved brother. We will all pray for you and yours. Wish there was more we can do to put a smile on your face like you do our. Take your time and do what you need too. We are here for you when you’re ready.

[@matthewrogers94mr]

I love how the horse is like nope I'm not gona do what you want.

[@ronwilken5219]

Definition of a horse? A four legged onerary brain.

[@joeblowe5813]

I think it was freaked out by the guy swinging around like that.

[@brandonlee3624]

This is like wholesome ASMR! Love seeing the crew work together and have fun in the shop, not to mention the community. Great all around even when there aren't recoveries to be had!

[@grundyb]

Matt, go a little slower on rotation with a unibit or step drill or you will burn them up! 🏁

[@Dark_Night_Tuga]

Hello family; YOU CAN'T IMAGINE how anxious I am to see your videos, I'm Portuguese and I'm living in Germany, you are my joy I watch all your videos, I watch them and I imagine myself working with you, I would work 24 hours a day day to you I love what you do.... I hope you succeed in everything. I love you boys from the bottom of my heart....

[@justjuan589]

So it snowed at snowbird already. Is Bombi going to be finished in time for the season? Love the build so far, thank you!

[@devindonovand959]

I really love how you ask Rhett - challenge Rhett- to get stuff done. It gives that young man so much confidence and also lets him suffer consequences when stuff doesnt work out. I learned that way a lot from my dad. Thanks for the reflection and good memories Matt!

[@earthknight60]

A sieve is more for things like flour and similar small dusty or grainy things that need to be sorted or sifted, not for noodles and such (unless you're making noodles from scratch). They're still in frequent use by anyone who bakes things.

[@andyman286]

Listening to them talking about the sieves was proper funny. I can't believe they don't know it's a thing.

[@enricopallazzo2987]

My mamas talking to me, she tells me how to live. But I don’t listen to her cause my head is like a sieve.

[@58Repairables]

Earache my eye... LOL!@@enricopallazzo2987

[@aphextwin5712]

A sieve is a device to separate differently sized solids, a strainer is used to separate solids from liquids.

[@mulciber7428]

Welding a Gastank and similar is done great with WIG. Because you also can reflow an existing Weld and shut Pinholes OR you can add a material. Also the Weld is cleaner which is similar to less Pinholes. Another Option would be to solder it on (dont know the exact english term, hardsolder?). Fixed a Motobiketank this way.

[@AaronW315]

​@@Starshipstonerdumb guys arent skilled

[@jeffstreck]

​@@StarshipstonerGoes the other way too. I can be dumb as a brick at some things but I taught myself to service and repair Sturmey Archer hubs. 😂

[@adley.j]

And he’s said once he would’ve liked to be mechanical bc he likes being hands on! Some people go into engineering to understand the why behind their hobbies and interests and some don’t (like chemical engineers yuck)

[@MarkWilliams-lf5tc]

Ex bil is an electrical and aerospace engineer. He put a turn signal kit on his dads golf cart that didn’t work. I looked at it and 10 minutes later I replaced the flasher. 20 minute to get the wiring tied up out of the way. It worked perfectly.

[@WILDouglash]

At 14:40 as a professional cook I can assure you that they we use sieves a LOT.

[@206stonner]

Lizzy your are missed. The animals are blessed to have her working on the ranch. (Lizzy start your own channel)

[@360VRStudios]

agree

[@davidwoermansr]

Maybe someday give her time to enjoy the new (married) life and learn how the ranch works and how she can mix her ways with their operation

[@aigarslacis4433]

Make that roof bar foldable over the roof, with safety pins, and seats that would integrate into something like towing hitch receivers, so they are easily removable. And also a camera holder and/or an 360 light holder ...

[@desertvs]

millennial Han and Chewie would be pissed.

[@joeeyman7503]

So super cool to see all y’all working together, society sure could learn a thing or two taking a lesson from y’all Matt, you seem like a most excellent teacher for welding, someday I’d love to melt some metal with your direction. My welds look like pigeon 💩 There will be a 11% chance of learning the correct way 🤪😬😂😅🤣 🙏❤️😎🤙💨

[@terryskipper1437]

Of you have to run mug for that start at least an inch in front of defect and go past an inch in one not no stopping or you just putting defects back in, been in engineering for nearly 50years and learnt stuff but would absolutely love the freedom you have to make and drive stuff in the US that we can't here, keep going, keep filming, keep learning. I do as a 60 plus year old everyday😊

[@Jeremy-fy1sz]

I just want to commend you guys for giving so many young people opportunities to work with you. Probably done more for young people the trades than most fab shops.

[@plunder1956]

As somebody who has to cut metal sheet occasionally, I just love the way that Plasma Cutter does it.

[@jasonb6570]

"I wanna make sure nobody can safely drive my equipment except for me" I feel called out.

[@otisjohnjr.3023]

Once at a fab shop in Illinois, a guy built a tank for coolant storage non-pressure, it was about 16' w X 20' long X 12' in height. The guy that welded all this together decided to check for leaks WITH AIR PRESSURE. The plate used was about 5/16" thick steel with varying gussets, interior baffles and corner bracing. Luckily another fabricator saw what he was doing and pull the plug while he was airing it up before the bomb went off.

[@Ty-bz7zx]

So both Michelle and Paul have brothers named Ben ?! Interesting =))) These builds are Fantastic content... even when (or especially when) things do not work out just right =))) Thanks all ! edit: IF you could find a surplus Ball turret out of an old BOMBer .... for the BOMB Bee ... incredible!

[@davidwoermansr]

Instead of a 50 cal mount a camera

[@Ty-bz7zx]

@@davidwoermansr or 4. =) saw one mounted in/on a truck bed, fully operational, probably on YT here somewhere. what a collab that would be eh?

[@davidwoermansr]

@@Ty-bz7zx that would be an ideal spot for a 360 cam maybe that's what that little escape door in the roof is for it's sure nor for full grown adults to fit through with a 360 cam up there the camera guys wouldn't have to dodge tree branches too my main concern with the build is the exhaust being restricted with such a bend I think I'd go through the floor and out the back so the pipes aren't in your face hooking up or melting something important in the middle of nowhere miles from the truck like the wreckers locker lines stranded in snow socks but frostbite is worse I lost chunks of both feet from frostbite while on a retrieval mission a co-worker's kids feel through the ice the girl got out and got help we spent all day clearing ice before the dive team showed up I didn't realize my waders had a leak till I was home I was so mentally numb on the scene I didn't feel it till I saw it I spent 2 weeks in the hospital fighting to keep my feet I'd hate to see any of them go through that it's painful and scary

[@garychaiken808]

The sand hill challenge sounds like fun. Get the bombi finished and take that. Tracked vehicles should do very well. I can’t wait to see how the bombi does. Great job guys. Thank you. 😊

[@IronLungProductionsOfficial]

Man you guys ever rest?! Loving these Bombi Updates!

[@robertutech1685]

If you build another fuel tank. The best way to deal with leaks is the drill a small hole at each leak. The benefit is you know where to weld, you clean out the area and you get better penetration.

[@matthewdewitt6459]

Would you be able to add a Holley efi digital dash in front of the steering arms to keep available leg space open for the front two seats?
