You know when you're a welder when Aron says"eyeballs" and you close your eyes while watching the video.

[@donalddixon6541]

Somebody count the times Aaron says "Yeah" in the video. He must be the yes man..........

[@josephdriscoll8527]

I envy the steady hands and skills of Aaron. Aaron is a great fabricator, can do anything it takes.

[@steveleverett2644]

Them steady hands tend to become unstable the older you get. Lol

[@steveleverett2644]

Aaron is a good fabricator just hope he doesn’t lose his steadiness. I know I lost mine. Keep up the great work and videos ❤

My eyesight got weak...when you put a light on your project before you tig....

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Never a dull moment with equipment modifications. The true test will be in the field! The DP & MBTS shenanigans are on another level after a long vacation. Gotta get back into the family friendly youtube groove! 🤣🤣 It doesn't matter who owns the equipment, if Jerry is operating it, he won't hesitate to lecture the others about the damages they do. He takes pride in all of the equipment, a quality of a seasoned operator!

[@Manoffire260]

I was thinking with all the quiet, super-intense cyphering @ 17:00 - we’d hear MBTS flush the toilet - just to make a statement 😁

[@billwilliams9527]

Man Behind the Scene really enters his own talent world. Probably worth all your paying him DP.

[@creedsixteen891]

Haha. “I don’t have my thinking cap on, I have my welding cap on.”😂

"like it.......eyeballs". Great to see you two back in the shop.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Nice work guys. Welding is something I wish I had learned when I was young, but back in the late 60s & 70s girls were actively discouraged from learning men's work. I admired the pioneers who did forge forward, but I wasn't one. I know I could learn now, but at almost 70 years old I'm just gonna sit back and watch experts. Like Aaron & you, Mike. This was a really fun video to watch. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@billvandorn5332]

I'm be for your generation and although we had the privilege of having a wood in metal shop in high school, we were also discouraged in subtle ways. I try not to let age be used as a marker to not accomplish learning something new everyday and putting it to practice

Hey Mike get Aaron a PULSE-SPRAY arc MIG for that heavy plate! Stonger faster BETTER for heavy plate...use the old MIG for light plate and sheet steel. Love Dirt Pefect Channel!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Mikey… it’s refreshing to see MBTS back in the shop! Keepin’ you on track is his Super Power!!! See you on the next one.

[@nancygoodman8273]

Actually I'm seeing this on March 12,my deceased husband's birthday. Welcome back and I look forward to watching you two together again 😊.

Sorry for your loss. He is in God hands...may he rest in peace.

Good morning from the Uk 11:23 am Mike and Aaron was getting bored and ya'll drop another stonking vid having tea and biscuits/cookies for the Americans 😅 the shop vids and the equipment auction ls and new machines are my favourite 😅

[@kaisabens4856]

Your ability to think outside the box is something to watch. Making your equipment work for you and not you for it.

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, Shop projects are always the best! Repair, improve, & fabricate! Awesome teamwork! Remember DP - those of us that watch your 'other' program already know what the mystery project is! You showed it in the podcast.....remember! Great video! Thumbs up Safety first! Jim

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Shop days being creative are always interesting and entertaining. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@staceyacre8870]

I appreciate you not going into too much detail about LT Dan. I’m in the process of playing “catch up on your channel” since I’m so late to the game. I’ve made it to the part where you and MBTS got to take it for the first test drive since the frame extension. For the record, I even got my wife hooked on your channel, and we watch every day after I get home from work. We love the relationship you have with everyone. It’s very refreshing.

[@condeerogers5858]

It's always a lot of fun being with you guys in the shop. How you make it fun and interesting, I don't know. But you do. Looking forward to the next episode of "Dirt Perfect" in the shop with the dynamic duo.

[@stevengunter2843]

This is the Dirt Perfect comedy hour!! Love to watch you all!

[@charlesroberts6965]

You guys do some mighty fine fabrication and Aaron has got some mad welding skills...like how you Invision what you need and without the aide of a modern CAD system you two knock it out. Truly impressive and cool content to boot. Appreciate you sharing your day with us.😎🛠️🇺🇸👍👨‍🔧🚜

Shop videos are great Mike! I always look forward to whatever project you guys make next!! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures!!!

[@laceitup1]

I really like these kinda video's! I like how you modify your equipment to fit your business. And you both are so good at it! I bet you spend hours just in the engineering process. I have to say, Aston has come such a long way in so many ways. I get a kick out of watching his confident level go way up over the years👏 This is going to be brilliant for sure!!

[@hrrohleder]

These are the videos I enjoy the most. I love your shop work and seeing projects come together.

Can't argue with quality shop time! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Hope to see Jerry again. He needs to drop in to keep you both in line. You need one show of non editing of Jerry. Just label it PG13. Great video and concerned about the upcoming events.

Hello Mike, you and Aaron make a great team! Regarding the "History channel", today is March 12th. so we should rebrand it to "The Recent History Channel". I really enjoy your videos, so thank you guys!

[@timothymilam732]

If Man Behind the Hood is a Boiler Maker, then he's running game on you, because he should know how to layout anything he needs to, and a compound offset isn't difficult to do. He should also know how to braid wire rope too, as I was taught that back in the 70's in apprenticeship as far as layout, and the different methods to get the dimensions needed to layout such things. Twisting wire rope is something we learned in the field to repair chokers, and we practiced on making lanyards for our lunch boxes and coffee thermos. To make them easy to carry to and from parking lots that always were like a mile away from the jobs on the old coal fired power plants, and hydro electric plants. Of course you'll always have a Golden Arm Wonder, that says his job is welding, but every hand is trained to do everything required to do the trade. My grand dad and his brother were boiler makers, my ole man, his two brothers, my brother n law who was the president of the local and welding instructor for number of years My brother, and myself all worked in the trade. My brother n law, and I are only two left out of the rest alive now, and we're both retired him in Alabama, and NE Texas myself. I'll send Wally the link, and see what he says bout that little fella's fast one he pulled on you. Either way got it done in a timely manner, and that's all that matters

[@kenore4003]

In this day and age there is no longer any repair allowed on lift straps or chokers. Too much liability for insurance and OSHA. Splicing eyes and rope work is pretty much limited to the Scouts. That's where I learned to do eyes and terminate lines.

[@timothymilam732]

@@kenore4003 yeah OSH!T always has made getting work done safely more difficult by double lanyards, and no free climbing steel when you're tying in steel connections. Plenty of other things they really tie your hands at while doing other things that you have to do, but takes three times as long, because everyone is tripping over each other because of two tie offs at all times when there's no room to work as it is. Nothing against safety big supporter of that, and run many years accident free. But when you need freedom of movement by everyone right on top of each other because that's what has to be done. Then they're adding additional risk of multiple personal getting injured for doing the job the hardest way possible. That's where it gets to me, and then you have your own safety man, and the owners safety personnel that typically aren't supplied with enough common sense to wipe their own backside without getting their hands dirty. That's another problem on top of everything else, and by that I mean. If you step back to wipe your face and eyed clean the sweet off your safety glasses. They want to write the men up for not wearing their glasses, but don't take into consideration that they can't see, because it's 130 plus degrees, and sweat is pouring out of them, and they can't see for the burning salt in their eyes. That's more BS, and I've seen brand new chokers fail because the crimped collar wasn't put on properly. I've never seen a hand braided choker fail, because it acts like a pair of Chinese finger cuffs, and the harder it's pulled on, the tighter it gets upon itself. So yeah I know but he's old enough to know how to do it I'd bet supper on it. As to whether or not he'd admit to knowing that doubtful, as he's a golden arm, but he never should have used the torch if he's a welder, because that's a fitters job. LOL So he let himself be known that he's more than capable of doing it all.

[@everestyeti]

Like it when you two are in the shop, all that banger. Nice upgrade for towing when out in the field, re Arron's comment about JD, as they dont seam to listen to engiineers and users about easy access for servicing, I don't think they will listen to anyone about putting tow points on blades. Of course what you could do ia patent the idea, that way if JD did try and market it, they would have to pay you. 👍

[@rsbracer]

Aaron did a great job considering he had DP helping him LOL

[@bobcats905]

I would say with great confidence that Clint’s two boys could show Shorty a few things about welding. Maybe a weld off could be set up.

You might try to find some pictures of the log trucks used in the west. There is a cable loop on the trailer used to lift them on and off the truck. A number of ferrules are spaced along the loop to keep loader grapples from destroying the cable.
