Major repair on a toe tip bucket. Part 2.

[@lyleturner6964]

The weld sounds beautiful

[@thepagan5432]

That post was great to watch. Your approach to work is very methodical even if at times it looks haphazard. Your work will outlast that bucket 😂😂. I don't sleep that much that's why I'm watching this at 2:46am, being terminally ill has a few perks, lmao. I'm really glad I found your channel, be safe and well. 👍

[@mastasolo]

The dirtier the shop, the cleaner the repair

[@snowballengineering]

Don’t be looking in the background or I’ll have to tidy up 🤣

[@ronbuckner8179]

That “wobbly” bit you’re speaking of comes from the wandering or reach from your boring bar you can greatly diminish it by keeping the bar as close as possible to the cutting surface as possible.

[@russellgnuse]

Nice work I weld bridge griders with .045 dual shield and c02 in the US works really good

[@lovejcdc]

Excellent video and excellent work. I am very impressed with the quality of the bracing and beefing up you did. It's great to see someone who isn't afraid to build something way stronger than it was beforehand. I really enjoy watching your videos and I can hear your voice just fine.

[@snowballengineering]

Thanks!

[@hywelmartin101]

Im not a welder but im very interested in the video’s i am curious 1. How much actual time did all that take. 2. What is the cost of the materials used to make that repair. Really enjoying British welding videos ty

[@accomplishedauto3815]

Great video(s) and I love your shop and equipment, definitely pro. You kept mentioning price so I have to ask, what does a job like that go for - just a ballpark? I’ve been self employed for a couple decades and I’m sure you’ve been in the game for a bit too. I had to steer away from customers that wanted to cut corners. More often than not when the thing that they didn’t want to pay for failed, that cheaper price was the first thing they forgot. But, there’s no doubt, what you did do will outlast that bucket and probably the customer too.

[@fourtwo7612]

Interesting and well produced videos- you deserve a lot more subs!

[@hywelmartin101]

Sorry another question - red oxide is that sprayed or painted? Do you dilute the paint to spray and paint ?

[@lakehunter48p55]

I bet lot of hours in that job. lot of material too. cant make a new one out of it- your work will outlast rest of bucket looking at how they took care of it. ha thks..

[@snowballengineering]

It’s not had an easy life that’s for sure!

Thank you! Cheers!

That knackered old bucket really got some love. Legend, mate !

It needed it 🤣. Thanks!

To me, this is the type of video format I learn a lot from. To the point, well thought out and executed. Keep the repairs and fabrication coming.

Top job. I would bring repairs to you. What more can you say.

Thanks!

[@astravanmk2]

That’s a hell of a repair! Excellent work.

[@darrylrhodes1211]

Nice job. People don't understand the time involved, you earned your wages , I hope the customer is happy..... He should be! Good video too, I'm looking forward to more. Thanks

[@jameshockey6916]

Bloody impressive work, that's far from an easy job and your attention to detail and quality of work is great to see

[@sjv6598]

Great work Oliver 👌🏻🙂

[@snowballengineering]

Thanks! 😀

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

That’s an interesting bucket, i had never seen one before your videos. I found a few videos of them in action, they seem to be for light materials like saw dust, grain, wood chips etc.

[@snowballengineering]

This one was originally designed for sugar beet/ fodder beet. Because they tip at the toe they give the machine more lift height

[@theessexhunter1305]

Nicely worked out young man

[@grahamkahabka66]

Fantastic work. It’s great to hear your descriptions of what you are doing and the reasons for the approach you’re using.

[@peterwilliams2595]

Got my hoodie not had it off my back it’s great in this cold

[@RebuildingScotland]

Another excellent repair on a fairly knackered bucket that many would have said was only fit for scrap. I would like to know how many hours that took

[@colinratcliffe2454]

It’s hard to do a Rolls Royce job when the customer does not want to spend the money. I think you did really well. Congrats for a really good job. Cheers from Australia.🇦🇺 .

Your talking volume is very low but machine noise is high.

[@phillipjoyce1071]

Putting a grease nipple in that is about as worthwhile as the man that fits indicators to bmws . #farmers 🙂 A farmer once told me that " if its new it doesnt need greasing , if its old theres no point greasing"

[@pa6390]

Heavy metal!

[@keitheagle4633]

I have noticed when I used dual shield wire to weld with that I have to crack the amperage of a little hotter 510 amps hotter is what I use

It’s hard work sometimes.

Thank you for sharing,I learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

[@chrisgregory2269]

Excellent fabrication

[@torstenbrunke4026]

On one hand it is nice to see how do other people challenge these jobs, on the other hand it is frustrating watching time lapse because you feel lame, better you put a big watch in the background.

[@snowballengineering]

It’s pretty hard capturing every part of the job over several days and putting it all into shortish videos without speeding some bits up.

[@torstenbrunke4026]

@@snowballengineering The videos are super but the time laps part is frustrating: Why can he weld so fast? Okay it`s time laps... But I will keep on watching your videos cause it is entertaining and instructive at the same time.

Surely that bucket won't blow away in the first stiff breeze!

Shouldn’t do, there’s some weight in it!

[@philipasbury9173]

Only just found your channel, you do some great repair and fabrication. We’ll described as you move along and not afraid to show the bits that don’t go to plan also top stuff. I’m a dairy farmer so I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into your projects. Your neighbours are lucky to have you skills. Phil.

[@GB-bl6hn]

Your methods reminds me how over-engineered your repairs/projects are comparable to AEC’s Routemaster from the 1950s so in theory yours should last at least 50 or more years

[@vinegarjoe9706]

You're last comment is so right. Your frame will be there long after that bucket has disintegrated. Excellent work, well done.

[@janharpershea2359]

I can see from your videos Oliver, that you’re always considering strength and loading - my old Dad’s favourite saying was ‘what’ll do a lot ‘ll do a little’ - like you he always wanted to leave anything stronger than original.

[@MrAsificare]

Nice one man. Great work. I am gonna sub now that you have the lovely workshopy noises rather than the music. Thank you.

[@snowballengineering]

Thanks!

[@glennmoreland6457]

Good ☹🇬🇧

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Fantastic job . With minimal bracing , surprised to see no worries with alignment after a single vee joint of that size . Recently welded some 32mm 90 deg angle plates for the milling machine & had to go the 3&1 rule to keep them dead square with no bracing . 👍👍👍👍

[@snowballengineering]

I think if the weld had been at 90degrees to the leg it would have been a different story.

[@ligerpops]

Ur a beast

[@mjk8710]

[@davidmcc359]

Outstanding job lad.... To see the job progress from the begining to the completion has been a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. I have one question for you, or anyone else who is reading this, That of the cost involved.. The materials alone would cost the earth, never mind the, time and complexity of the repair which has been a delight to see and you mentioning the owners budget, but surely, after all this, the cost between repair as opposed to an entirely new unit, can't be that much difference

[@snowballengineering]

A new bucket like this is about 15k

Excellent. Yeah - the machine volume is higher than your voice-over so I have to keep adjusting the vol. Everything else is great. Please keep making videos!

[@scott5747]

What this video production lacks is a dedicated videographer and editor. Snowball can learn from Cutting Edge Engineering for video production techniques.

[@snowballengineering]

Difficult when you’re just a one man band.

[@scott5747]

Up your game and hire someone. Cheers

[@NOELTM]

I - and it seems many others here - really like the straight talking down to earth way these videos are presented. KZbin is full of slick editors and "production techniques" aka gimmicks - but here we have good honest video making along with a highly skilled guy trying to share what he does. So rather than talk about what things lack - accentuate the positive and be grateful for the fact he is trying. btw: the 278 subscribers to your channel says something about the video quality of your 7 videos - so maybe when you got your act together you would be better able to "advise" - just saying 🙂

[@leewalsh5467]

Hey there. Why don't you start your own fabrication/repair business & then start a youtube channel all on your own & then show everybody how it should be done. Cheers
