What is happening? I could be doing anything productive, but I choose to sit & watch Otto fix a drive shaft? Why? What compells me to watch this? I'll never own a boat. I'll never need shaft repair knowledge. It seems I got addicted to the problem solving skills of Otto Kilcher. I can't get enough of this wise crackin' wise man. The skill of one can help so many via KZbin. Keep it coming. Thumbs up! I wanna see what project comes next.

[@thefrack8981]

Yeah I have like 5000 things to do, but this is the best. It's how our lives could be... imagine.

[@jackboot5321]

Otto is amazing. He's a Jack-Of-All-Trades, and is very generous when it comes to helping others resolve challenges. He is truly a man to look up to.

[@big.ronwisconsin9598]

I've never made it up to Alaska but it's always had a special place in my heart. My oldest brother lived up there for many years he owned a nice house outside Soldotna he was the Captain of a long liner fishing vessel on the Bearing sea for many years. We still have the videos he used to send home I remember always being really worried about him some of the videos out there were just wicked waves and weather. He ended up getting a divorce from his wife and they moved out of Alaska. He moved to Wyoming and then remarried and started driving semi for the fracking fields. And on one of his days off he was driving his pickup down the interstate and blew a front tire his truck rolled several times and he lost his life. That was 6 years ago now he was only 57 at the time the same age I will be this August. Sure miss him. Sorry for the long story but every time I see fishing vessels or anything about Alaska I always think of my brother

[@lindahollister5530]

Sorry for your brother😢😢.

[@TACTICALNOMAD]

The one thing that you can always be assured is that your brother lived his life on his terms...living in Alaska.

[@big.ronwisconsin9598]

@@lindahollister5530 Thanks

[@big.ronwisconsin9598]

@@TACTICALNOMAD That he most certainly did

[@douglasgatian1401]

How can you not love Otto?!

[@STLHD1]

I'm beginning to think that there isn't any thing that Otto can't fix. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@huricane5184]

Not a lot of people today know what the suspenders colors represent. Used to watch the red green show every week. Love it. As long as you dont pick up his habits on fixing things. Lol

[@meowjanet]

Otto’s suspenders are probably for boating. Buoys are red right up a channel and green are on the right going the opposite way. I’d be very surprised if he had seen the Red Green show.

[@TACTICALNOMAD]

@@meowjanet, I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut @OttoKilcher has watched Red Green. Steve (Red) would be right up his alley, entertainment-wise.

[@meowjanet]

@@TACTICALNOMAD absolutely! No argument here!

[@phildo39645]

Fine precision craftsmanship Otto and crew!👍🏻

[@JoseyWales-ed]

Perty cool seeing the old timers machine things with a home made Cnc machine. Great work! Take care

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

Otto, I love watching your videos no matter where you are! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻

[@timtidwell9929]

So glad I stumbled across this channel I truly miss the tv series

[@kens.3729]

Always a Pleasure to see what you’re Working on. 👍🙏

[@dfuss2756]

I love watching machining. I ran a gear manufacturing company for 32 years. We solved many customers problems. That is what makes your video so attractive to me. You are showing people how to fix things, solve problems and your enthusiasm is part of the charm of your videos. Thank you for another great video.

[@letzrockitrite8469]

Thanks K's ..... skills for the win.... kids ..... old folks know stuff !

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

I love seeing this type of repairs. The Alaskan way.

[@TACTICALNOMAD]

@OttoKilcher (a.k.a. Red Green - I.Y.K.Y.K,) THANK YOU! Thank you for taking us along on these wonderful adventures. You truly are someone I could call neighbor and be proud to have as a neighbor, and I do not say that lightly nor glibly. It's sad, but most people will never get to experience or understand how those who live in Alaska are a different breed, in a very good way, from the rest of America. Alaskans know that they need to rely on their fellow Alaskans to survive and sustain year round. I miss living in Alaska. I wish I had never left, and I most definitely want to go back. It's the only place that EVER felt like home. It's also sad that Discovery never showed this part on Alaska: The Last Frontier. The true reality of daily life on an Alaskan Homestead. There surely would have been more viewers if this part of Alaskan life had been shown on the show.

[@lindahollister5530]

Love watching him and his families keep on coming through to us. From ILLINOIS. Keep up the great advice and work.🎉🎉. This boat lift is so amazing to watch it move😂😂😂😂.

[@henrywardell4635]

BRAVO , THANK YOU OTTO , GREAT CREW - GREAT VIDEO. GREETINGS FROM CANADA.

[@johnsmit5516]

Thanks Otto, brings back memories from the late eighties when I worked in Ship building/Repair in Tasmania. we did a lot of work on fishing boats. even got to work on an icebreaker that tried to break rocks. didn't go so well for the icebreaker's twin props and rudders

[@toddrodgers5108]

When I was in Alaska that was fun for me I don't sleep well anyway. I was home I love Alaska. Want to get back so bad. Blessings to anyone who has spent time there. Me Wyoming to Alaska is for me.

[@bobogilvie4472]

Too bad we can not be as friendly as YOU OTTO around the world that seems to thrive on distrust of another human being.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Thanks for the ride along OK! Just shows you how friendship and craftmanship work hand in hand! Great job! Until you next post!

[@bobbolieu9013]

That's pretty cool Otto. I wonder how many other people would attempt to take 0.003" of bend out of a 12' shaft with a hammer. Not many. Your experience gives you great confidence Otto.

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good one Otto Thanks for the video's 🇺🇲👍

[@petehendry4756]

Very interesting technique facing off that flange in place. Well done sir .

[@bobbynash282]

It it's Otto I'm watching. Always great content , repairs, building , an other great content. It's very interesting an informative. Love the new channel, kelp healthy. Alabama's a big fan.

[@Dwayne7834]

Fantastic job on straightening the shaft and flange. The machine shop I worked in straightened quite a few over the years 👍🇺🇸

[@deanfulford69]

Otto has a lot of Knowledge

[@joanneganon7157]

Otto's brain at work again👍! Nice of you to help out a friend! JO JO IN VT 💞

My Dad used to stand pennys on their edge while balancing wafferizers in the osb industry. Love the precision. Love the channel. Welcome back all Kilcher kin.

[@BEER30lacrosse]

I love these fishing boats,I spent a summer on the kenai,in 2008,Homer was a favorite especially seldovia,I have a nice piece of artwork from seldovia too. great video you guys!!

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Otto, enjoyed the video. Always great to watch a machinist using their craft. Thank you for Sharing.

[@grateful5881]

Enjoyed watching this. AMAZED that this is just generalized, random-access, day to day knowledge for you of how to fix stuff. Skills are being lost... Maybe you, the fam and others in the area could start a small "Homesteading Basic Skills School" 😯. That'd be cool 😎.

[@antekknoll6568]

Nice Job Otto, the PG VERSION OF MY GRANDFATHER 🥰👍👍 OK??

[@raincoast9010]

Loved the machining on the engine side of the prop shaft, well done!

[@BrindaB929]

It’s so nice to see a few Keltcher family members on KZbin!. You might find more subscribers.

[@davecnc]

It's pretty cool to learn new machining practices. Using that reshaped center drill and bar to face that couple was pretty cool !!

[@eliezernegron333]

I’m looking into buying my own suspenders but genius are not the only ones who have suspenders on there suits 😂😂😂😂😂

Good job Otto. You're a great person

[@chuckyc6912]

You are a very special person. Great work

[@rccollins8160]

Check the fit and face of the coupling..? Never mind you’re checking now. Could it be an out of balance prop? Damn you never cease to amaze with your ingenuity. we do a lot of that here in Maine, we call it ” Yankee ingenuity” but facing an engine coupling in the boat… you’re a machine! I once had do drill a 2” stainless rudder stock with the boat in the water I used one of those magnet mounts and a go pro articulating tri-pod to hold my jury rigged oiler. Took two days of drilling and went through half a dozen Wal*Mart pillows and a stack of oil-sorb pads.. -Born in AK live in ME

great video Otto!

[@steveyoung9104]

Perfect Thanks for the video 😊

[@DustyBottomAcresAK]

"OK" work, as usual, Otto! I have to wonder how much deflection you would see in that shaft with all of those variables in play while it was in the boat (although probably impossible physically). .003 in the shaft, and whatever each flange was off, over a 12' length at X RPM. I don't know much about boats, but I have to assume that the RPM of that shaft is 'relatively' low with a 12' span length and no center supports. And another thing to note that I was curious about is how much the deflection would have changed at each end had the rollers been situated at the points where the deflection was the highest. Also, I would have liked to have seen the deflection measured along the shaft with the rollers being right at the ends, as close as possible to how it was when installed in the boat. Great content as always, Otto! Looking forward to more! -Dusty

[@l5r90]

I was an avid watcher of the show my friend!!!.....You are awesome!!!....atyour age still going at it!!!>..got a place for me?!?!?!....i wannna be a helper....don't need to pay me !!!....i'm a good cameras man!!!

Maybe he could help you paint your landing craft .

[@beverly7475]

Would have been interesting to see the boat lifted out of the water!

[@markgallagher1376]

That was awesome, Otto!! Did you really straighten that shaft just by hitting it with a ball peen?

[@TheMaverickAcres]

really cool. id fit right in there.

Yes? Nothing worse that being out in the Ocean with non working Motor.

[@pattiwhite9575]

Can you drive that boat lift up to your place? You sure could use that for moving that old cabin.

[@jamesvanpelt-nk7by]

Otto, what's happening with the Constructor?

[@KBAILEYinMS]

Whatever happened to the Constructor? Maybe I missed it somewhere.
