What I love best is the outtake where you show where you dump the old cylinder into the trash bin. This is not a repair. It is a rebuild.

Kurtis/Karen.... I don't know if you all are tracking your metrics... but you released this video less than 18 minutes ago and you've already acquired 6k views and just under 80 comments. These are signs that you're on the right track. Congratulations on being the absolute legends that you truly are... from here on the West Coast of the US at midnight. Yes, we stay up just to see what you folks are releasing next. Well done.

Love it when you guys install the "Homie Cam". The close-up makes Homeless sound like the Tasmanian Devil (from Looney Tunes). Another great vid Kurtis and Karen. Thanks.

I have been running lathes off and on since 1964 and I can certainly say that the lathe in this video is the crown jewel of all of them. And you Sir, set the standard for all YT machinists. This is not flattery, it is an educated observation from an old man that is a prick. Art from Ohio

That barrel looks so small on the dump truck, but it's so big up close! Crazy!

you know it's been a busy week when the video goes out and I'm thinking "huh, pretty sure it was friday like 2 days ago...". Good shit as always guys!

This is another sample of outstanding problem solving and videography. I am continually impressed with your examination and planning to resolve repair issues. I especially enjoy the videography closeups and slow motion imaging of the work in progress. As long as I can receive your channel video, I will be there watching.

Hello, Kurtis, Karen and Homeless, my wife watches the videos too and she said you had a new lathe. I looked and told her nope same one you had. As we watched I commented on how the ends had to be removed she said it was easy with good equipment. I told her no, craftsmanship was the key. A good man or woman knowledgeable with marginal tools is still better than a jury rigger with the best tools.

My favourite channel. So relaxing to watch a craftsman at work.

Thanks for the little context video of where the cylinder sits, it really helps!

I have no training in your field of expertise, none at all. However, the way that you explain where the part fits, how it functions, what possibly caused the damage and the steps and procedures to repair enables me to follow with understanding. This is, ‘so good’.

He like the Bob Ross of machining. Sometimes i fall asleep listening to these videos.

Kurtis, you are an incredibly good bird trainer. If you can teach them to machine and weld, (might give a whole new meaning to the term "bird shit" welding), Homey can check the work quality and job safety. Karen and yourself can retire to a life of leisure. Great stuff mate, look forward to part 2.

I’ve been watching your videos for a while so I got a tape measure that is metric & imperial so that I can get a perspective of what you are doing.

@aserta

9 ай бұрын

They have to be. If they were cast in one piece, a machine such as that (the dump truck) wouldn't cost ~3mill, but 5 or more. Gotta save costs where you can with these because otherwise, nobody would buy them. There's also benefits in the strength of the finite item, giving each component the best metal to exist with. Kinda like car rear axles. They're also made from cast components and either extruded (commonly known as non-seam tubing) or welded tubes. There's also the considerations of the manufacturer's cost for casting a component as large, in the required quantities to sustain the industry. They'd have to cast 20 of these every few weeks (if not more) to have enough to pass around the globe... they'd be throwing money out of the house. There's many, many reasons behind it. :)

*Cutting Edge Engineering Australia* Bravo well done, always a pleasure to watch. Thank-you for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

Just realized that approx 1 year ago Kurtis did a similar repair for a barrel on a 785 dump truck. Karen, don’t know if you even realized this but you did an incredible job on both of these videos. The overall length of the two videos is within 15 seconds of each other. Also, you were within 5 seconds at the point that Kurtis got the eye end to pop off the cylinder. Pretty amazing the consistency of both of you in your work. 😂

omg when that head flange went on. UNF!!! So flush!!! That's the shit I'm here for, man! lol

When I was younger I wanted to be a machinist... I certainly don't have the patience for the perfection required to properly do any real machine work, the closest I ever got to a metal Lanes was turning brake discs and drums.. But I still truly enjoy watching your videos. As always, thank you for posting!

As always, a great video! Aside from the excellence in machining and welding, the best is in the out-takes, with Kurtis the Disney Princess communing with his flock! 😀

Love watching how you work with the crane - its like having another, stronger person helping in the shop. At a push, I suspect it could brew a coffee! Thanks to you both for the videos.

Kurtis, is it necessary to machine down the OD of the barrel? Obviously the ends need to marry up with the flange etc., but can you not leave the rest?

Karen, you are the gold standard when it comes to filming and editing « how to » type videos. The various angles, the sped-up parts, the occasional slow motion sequences, the close-ups, everything is so on point, you almost forget about it, which ironically is a good thing. Never do we say « oh, I wish this was filmed differently ». Great, great job. You outdid yourself on this one. Homie’s back mounted GoPro was awesome!

i think this is the first time ive ever seen a cradle used to ship n hold one of these cylinders, YAY homie cam an squeak squeaks! kurtis the new disney icon HAHAHAHA

@@KennyEaton603 Yeah, but that's on account of the muscovians destroying one of the biggest steel plants in Europe in their lunatic bid to destroy Ukraine. Then there's the sanctions they got hit with as well, basically it's artificial in nature, not because suddenly steel is a highly sought after commodity or rare item. There's plenty to go around, just not from the sources that made it a stable item. Until production makes a workaround in other countries that will inevitably step up to the plate (like various other Asian, Middle Eastern or African nations taking over Chinese manufacturing to remove China's monopoly) the price will be high. Hey, at least it's not like with copper, where they all rallied to make the cost obscenely high on purpose... making everyone with a neuron, wonder exactly what did we learn, if anything, from the last time we had this happen(read up on Yasuo Hamanaka). There's enough copper around to construct an entire city of copper, and i'm not even talking about copper in use, or copper in junk yards. Copper in ingot, being kept off the market like diamonds.
