Kurtis, this reminds me so much of 40 years ago when my brother ran a machine and fabrication shop. I used to stop by and watch him do setups. The owner was the design engineer, my brother was the manager and machinist, and he employed a welder. I was always fascinated by the amount of knowledge it took to make everything work. Their equipment was worn, however they turned out many fine products, including Pennsylvania coal crushers, progressive forming mills, and Scott Air Pack charging stations, along with the heavy equipment parts repairs. You are at the top of your trade, as well as a great instructor.

The machining is fascinating and the camera work (from BOTH operators) is excellent. You obviously put a lot of effort into scripting and editing, and I know the final production we see must be the result of dozens of hours of work.

Karen's sound editing for the sped-up section around 22:14 is spot on, especially with the fast video matching the real-time audio segment so the interrupted cut real-time sound changes to uninterrupted at just the right time despite audio and video being at different speeds.

The narration is always done perfectly in one take per shot; the Out-takes are scripted comedy which take hours of script writing, Karen's directing, and multiple takes to get the comedy balance and cursing just right! Way to go guys! Who knew that operating flame spray metallic powder coaters, oxy-acetylene torches, huge spinning lathes, 100 ton hydraulic presses and precision line borers to fix amazingly wrung out parts from giant mining equipment could be so entertaining. Even Homey has to join the Movie Producers Guild of the Gold Coast, now that he has his own camera.

Thats because this process puddle spray is not flame spray, arc spray, wire spray, or HVOF, the latter all have desposition thickness maximums because the bond strength of the consumable starts to exceed the adhesive strength with the parrent metal and it literaly pulls itself away from the parrent material, these processes have a number of other advantages though, they are cooler, allow rapid build up over large surface areas, have a broder selection of consumables for example.👍
@michaelbrown6241 Жыл бұрын
Another option for the head seal is to abandon the original groove and put the .030" oversize seal in the head face, this IMO is a better seal any way as it runs cooler and is not subjected to the cylinder wall flexing under pressure. I always blame the operation of the machine rather then the operator when damage has gone beyond an obvious change in system performance because the operator is often told to keep the machine working. Good use of the old puddle spray.👍

Good job Kurtis, very professional approach. We tried metal spraying on large bronze gears, without much success. The castings had porosity and voids which were not apparent until some of the machining had been done. I found a company in Sheffield, UK, that centrifugally cast the bronze gear blanks and it eradicated the porosity and voids. The bronze gears were 2 foot diameter and around 18 inches long due to bearing faces on both ends. The thieves used to try and steal the blanks and machined parts, so we employed security guards ( one of those stole some from us ). We had to erect a secure bonded store in a secured storage facility. So good to be back the COVID nearly done for me due to the pulmonary fibrosis, the NHS administered new drugs which worked, but I have been ill for 5 weeks.

I'm sure Kurtis did that on purpose! Anyone experienced with Oxy/Acetylene knows to turn off the O2 first, then the Acetylene! It becomes so much habit you really have to do it intentionally. Reminds me of the time we had a new guy welding in one of our shops. "Someone" lit a torch and got the mix right, snuffed the flame out, then filled a balloon with the mix! Said balloon was then put behind the table where it was guaranteed to catch a spark! The "BOOOM!" when it went off was impressive! 😆

@@PhilG999 I was taught Acetylene first so flame does not travel back into mixing tube as fuel runs out. Also played a bit with neutral mix. Oh wait a minute! That wasn’t me! I didn’t do it! Nobody saw a thing! Honest! LOL !!!

@@Oldmane-420 He He! Well, the way *I* was taught, both in HS metal shop and College welding classes (Mechanical Engineering, ASMET and BSMET degrees), and working as an Engineer with machinists and welders a LOT for 40 years before I retired, was the Acetylene flame goes out at the torch tip, and with no O2 in the mixing tube it's the same as, say using a rosebud tip with only Acetylene and turning it off. 😁

Awww... You are so protective of your new machine that it is covered with the blue plastic it came with. XD It's like owning a new car and refusing to take the plastic off the seats for many months. Hehehe. Honestly, it prevents debris from getting into the pan and makes cleaning a lot easier. Happy New Year!

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering That's because the building is a hangar. I can imagine the dust in the rafters. Plus having trains running every 7.5min; eh Curtis; and choppers landing in what the world refers to as 'The World's Dustbowl', plus building is situated on the bend of the road so you get dusty winds from both directions to permeate the building's every crack & crevice. Do you have a climate controlled metrology room?

I thought I was a welder. My Dad was a master! These new filler torches, nice. This is a nice job. I remember just melting at a high temp. You are a master, I know call myself a backyard welder. Been away from it for years. Now I just make brackets. Repairs. Been a long time. Great video Curtis!!!!Took me back. 🥸
