Cutting Edge Engineering Australia. Curtis this video ( part 1&2 ) has to be the best I've ever seen, absolutely awesome the before and after comparison. There's an old saying "You can't make a silk purse from a sows ear." However I beg to differ, you proved that wrong because you did just that. When I saw the beginning of part one, I thought you would cut the old eye off and weld a new one in. 👍👍👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺

As a former CAT tech the most expensive thing in that whole vid was the CAT yellow paint!!! Great job!

Curtis, I think your customer gave you a sows ear and you turned it into a silk purse. Perhaps your finest hour.👍

I hope I'm not the only one who heard the word munted and thought yes he's speaking the language of my people

You're not a tradesman Kurtis, you're an artist. That is exceptional work especially when you consider the time constraints placed on you and the poor information you received from the customer. I hope they paid what was right for that job, not what they think is right. Well done 👍

@@gabrielecossettini2923 I am willing to bet that job was at least three times the price of simply buying a replacement eye and welding it in place. But being that it was a Saturday, you would have to wait until Monday just to order one, and then get it welded on later in the week. For a lot of big companies, getting the operation going fast, is well worth the cost of paying through the nose.

Machinist as engineer, mathematician, magician, scientist, manufacturer... and, at the last moment, chemist. As well as, for our delectation, a performer, educator and narrator... along with his partner as videographer and their woofer for comic relief. Sheesh.... This episode sets the benchmark for wow factor.

Dude, you make me want to move down under and destroy stuff just to watch you repair it. As they say in Boston, you are wicked good.

Customer explanation of repair work, "It's a bit loose, or its exploded" bare no relation to its state of disrepair. Hell of a lot of work to be done in 12 hours, after receiving the part several hours late. I've heard the expression "Munted" before, but many years ago. Another Aussie expression I heard from a KZread channel called "Matty's Workshop", was fits like like a "Bum in a Bucket", brilliant. Query on the line boring facing insert "EGMT", 75° rhomboid, never seen one of those before? Interesting in how the Mig/Mag torch can rotate, yet allow the wire to feed through. Great work, and great photography both. Thanks for sharing. Best regards John from the Black Country, UK.

“Hey Honey! What do you want to do this weekend? Watch a welder and mill spin in a circle?” Very nice work. You are a true craftsman.

I happened to click on this and didn’t see the first video or any other videos from this channel. I was sitting here watching the video and asking myself “Why not just machine a new part? Why is he welding 100m of wire then using a line boring machine?” Then I realized the actual part is huge and the line boring machine is welded to the part. I’ve never seen a setup like that or a repair done that way, it was awesome! You got a new subscriber.

This is metal magic! I’m no machinist but this is my new favourite machinist channel, by far

I know it's a lot of HARD work, but I think you have one of the coolest jobs ever, and you are such a professional.

A 35hr door-to-door turnaround on a totally fucking munted part like that is genuinely magnificent. I imagine 20+ of those hours were solid work, this isn't a job you can leave alone even for a minute either. As someone in not-too-distant line of work I really do salute you, Kurtis.

That was a top-job....you sure know what you´re doin.

We had a sign in our shop that said "Failure to plan on your part, does not make an emergency on our part" Seeing as this was attributable to failed or poor maintenance I hope you charged for the rush.

Curtis masterful repair using your portable boring/welding machine. Your skillset is off the charts. Your shop made boring tool holder is a work of art and a serious necessity in your trade.. I'm a retired millwright that repaired high pressure steam turbines for over 30 years and I'm blown away by the portable CNC boring & welding especially the duty cycle of your mig welder. Spray welding is almost obsolete with new advancements. Technology especially in the CNC world have made previous impossible repairs a thing of the past. Your outakes are hilarious.
