[@coachgeo]

@@MoonKeyDLaughy Looks to be Spastic Cerebral Palsy. That occurs from damage or lack of development to Cerebellum at bottom rear of the brain. likely born into it. Cerebellum has lots to do with refinement of muscle movement. In many cases (likely her's too) intelligence remains normal. She'll figure it out. CP adults struggle... but have careers and families. Tuff road.. but its only road they got so... plow on. Looks like she has a twin sister.... full able body not that this is of any relevance.

[@coachgeo]

PS- folk...... when you talk to a person with CP.. talk with same mannerism / language you would to anyone that age. (example in this case.... same as you would to her twin sister) They usually have full intelligence. Often and understandably ....... they at times get tired of being (unintentionally) treated like they are stupid. Sure they are bit use to it... and understand why folk do it.. but at times it still bugs them.

[@rodriguez3939]

As a boilermaker/welder, life sometimes hurts haha. I do love watching you guys fab this up though! Hot tip though if you are interested, never weld downhill. It won't penetrate enough to be a structural weld. Vertical up weld is where it's at!

[@DouglasOYates]

As an AWS SCWI, I was thinking the same thing. Downhill is NOT as structurally as sound as uphill would be. Thin throat. But if the point is merely cosmetic, no real issues. Seen many a downhill weld in my time placed there to fix undercut, profile, to build weld leg size, and or fix pugly caps on welds. Definitely not recommended for structural strength as not penetrating as well to the root of the joint. And structural code wise, not permitted without qualification.

[@davidhawthorne9637]

@@DouglasOYates My 25+ years in the plumbing industry says beat to fit and paint to match. Then grind off the rest. OSHA says can't see it from my house so it's good enough :D

[@Tagerrun]

What does welding downhill mean in this sense? Literally on a down slope or from top to bottom when he was running the bead?

[@DouglasOYates]

Progressing from top to bottom, which does not allow as much penetration to the root of a weld. In my experience with code welding, it is rarely permitted with a very few exceptions that I can think of in the pipe welding industry. In the structural world I live in of buildings and bridges, never for root passes in structural welds!

3 things I always try to remember when welding/fabricating is 1 always be comfortable and consistent. 2 no gap is the best gap. And 3 5 minutes of prep work will save 50 minutes of fighting with it.

As a US Army veteran it’s always amazing when I see some of the convergence of people have done with the M 1070. H.E.T.

And that truck is a very capable but also very slow truck when hauling around tanks. It has a max speed of 45 mph and that was if you were empty.

Oh, and when I asked old Phil what the difference between a carpenter and a Master Carpenter was, he said "about 40 dollars more an hour". Which I likewise found to be very, very true.

That young lady was the highlight of this video in my eyes'. So awesome for what you did for the new park. The excitement in her eye's was priceless.

[@kyleo8668]

I love how Matt goes back to squinting and blind welding just after the safety talk. Keep on keeping on bud, from BC Canada 🇨🇦 👍

[@flatspot4736]

Matt was all smiles riding in Heavy D's big wrecker. That was cool seeing cars come flying up over the ledge!

[@bigb9061]

I was a certified welder years ago. Have not welded in 20 years. But I can still smell 7018 rod. That is such a great deal the park. I raised my special needs son. In Sept he turns 44 hard to believe. Thank you all for want you do. That was great Ed and the golden nugget.

[@socaliguy81]

If you haven't seen Heavy D's video on this recovery, do yourself a favor and watch it next. Dave free-climbed that cliff!

[@flippers49]

What a bunch of beautiful people working together. Nice to see Allen around as well...miss your videos. God bless.

[@fabien4470]

Glad to see you take care about safety (and most importantly, your health). I wish I did that too, it's been 12 years since my ears started ringing... and they never stopped. Cheers from France!

As a certified farm welder. The rule is: Form follows function. I’ll give Skeeter a 👍

[@warddbud]

I am a certified farm welder also and if it holds and doesn’t break it’s an excellent weld.

[@roceye]

There's always the grinder....

BINGO 👍

[@laymansview5246]

I received my boiler certification in 1975 and have never worked as a welder. But one thing I know, pretty welds are...well pretty, but if there's no penetration, they break. Better to have a good strong marriage than a pretty one.

[@Grenyas]

That Rudy weld quality is another level

[@frankfilippone9679]

Showed the mighty MORRVAIR to my biggest critic of vehicles this weekend my friend Big Mark and never usually a great reaction, But , this time I got “AWESOME” Because she is! Yep the MORRVAIR is NY approved! We all love her! To me , no other vehicle compares!

[@andrewkeeton3627]

Love your “no excuses, just make it happen” attitude. It’s ok to not have a “perfect weld” just make it happen. Don’t have XYZ, make it happen.

[@MattE174]

I've been binging these videos lately and I can honestly say it's heartwarming to see the focus Matt and the crew take. The kindness and generosity displayed is inspiring and amazing to see! Keep it up Matt & Crew!

The smile on Matt's face while driving along in that beast, he's really enjoying it and we know he appreciates what the machine can do. They haven an insane setup!!!

[@splitsecondmagician]

The Oshkosh M1070 is quite the awesome machine. Lots of power and plenty of maneuverability for it's size. I'm not sure if you noticed, but the rear axle on that thing steers as well.

[@say1033]

From an intermediate welder and backyard builder, if it’s welded and it works that’s the way it supposed to look. It’s about function over fashion. Although a nice dime rolled weld does look really nice. Good job Rudy.

[@stewartlee8858]

Awesome clean-up guys. Now that's a heavy off-road wrecker. Welcome back Lizzie, I missed you, lol.

[@JamesPhieffer]

You're my hero, Skeeter! It's all about getting a strong weld. Pretty is optional! And that poor old T-Bird... Apparently, Matt, Peanut loves you. Great video as always. Looking forward to seeing the completed heavy wrecker.

[@torinobob]

T-Bird! I could tell it was a foxbody Ford but wasn't sure beyond that.

[@desertgecko4549]

8:30 YES! Matt, it scares me seeing you working without glasses around metal cutting or grinding. A few years ago, I caught a small speck in my left eye. I thought it'd work its way out, but two days later, a friend drove me to two different ERs. I could barely open my eyes because they got "photophobic," or hypersensitive to light. Even opening my right eye caused unbearable pain in my left eye, the one with the itty-bitty speck. After my small-town's ER doc punted, we spent Super Bowl Sunday in the ER in Carson City where the doc used a small tool to grind down the little speck that they couldn't pluck out of my eye with tweezers or pliers or whatever they had. Five seconds at a time so it wouldn't get hot and burn my eyeball. You think a dentist's drill is bad? Unh uh, it's nothing like that thing whirring in my eyeball. Three 5-second grinds, a lot of flushing, and then an eye patch for a day. I don't recommend any of it. All this because I was too darn macho to wear safety glasses.

[@0ldGuy]

When he dropped that grinder my only thought is I hope that disc gets changed before it gets used again. I’ve had them come apart and it’s so dangerous

[@astoltzfus4]

I have used grinders many many times on the farm. Usually I used glasses, sometimes not. I never got a piece in my eye while not using glasses because I would stay out of the spray of sparks. Then one time O was using glasses and relying on them and I got a metal sliver in my eye. I was able to get it out with a cotton swab eventually, but it taught me to use my brain if I do use glasses.

[@ttv8ra23]

Yep I have had this happen twice. The second time I was much quicker getting to ER. As soon as it started to get a wee bit sensitive I knew what it was. Unbelievably painful!

[@0ldGuy]

@@astoltzfus4 of course your brain is the most important safety equipment but it can’t stop a disc that shatters.

[@0ldGuy]

@@ttv8ra23 that is scary. We(me included) get too comfortable using equipment we forget how dangerous it is sometimes

[@BikeNewLondon]

MORR is our favorite channel to watch at my house! We enjoy all of your projects, rescues, and big family events. We're glad to donate too, and make truly special things happen! The one bit of advice I learned the hard way- and I see you're trying to do it- always cover your glass when welding nearby! My own VW bus ended up with weld spatter embedded all over the windshield from repair work, and it does NOT come off the glass. So be diligent about shielding all exposed glass from the sparks. Love watching this build come together!

[@Lucas12v]

I've done that before too. Very frustrating.

[@jseg486]

Doing great skeater! Been welding over 20yr. And they can't all be perfect. Hats off to Rudy for his skillz!

Having 2 daughters, I loved watching Lizzy learn to weld and become pretty good at it. . She reminds me a lot of my youngest

[@deebert4996]

Matt. I love how you teach your crew to weld and build. It is becoming a lost art. We need more people passing on the skill. You really support your team.

[@steverhoton7485]

Speaking of safety, in my 20 + years as fitter/welder, that besides grinding I found that most of my eye doctor visits came from having the slag pop off from time mig and stick welding. Just be careful out there, love your show….!

[@iwantmy4minutesback]

When will Matt be popular enough that his videos attract someone with the skill and patience to make an All Ed video? He’s got some nuggets hidden in these videos, and seeing them all lined up would be worth a Patreon membership at least.

Time to make a Matt's offroad frisbees with Caution! printed on them. So you can throw Caution! to the wind.
