Not only does he make a custom tool for a job that seems to be 'rare' (after all, he didn't have that tool already) - he makes sure said tool is NOT a "rough temporary solution" but a properly machined, good looking addition for the tool rack in case similar jobs should show up in the future. Well done, Kurtis. And as usual, but always worth mentioning: Very good job filming the whole process, Karen (and putting up with all them bloopers)

The first thing i do EVERY Friday morning is get up make a cuppa, feed the cat, then sit down and wait for the new video to appear, then Friday can begin!!! Having worked in a toolroom back in the sixties, it jogs my memory. Great skills from the pair of you, not forgetting your lovely pets!! All the best from the UK.

I was wondering what tooling was going to be used to complete this operation ... Beautiful work Kurtis AND Karen . I've probably said this before, but Homeless has to be the happiest pooch on earth . :)

THAT WAS AMAZING! I love when Kurtis makes tools in the shop and uses them to work on whatever project he is doing

I watch several different machining channels, and its always ammusing to me how it feels like NONE of them tap the same way.

A very good example of showing a customer what's involved plus making special tools plus the knowledge to get the job done....people say mechanics are a rip off but there aren't to many old mechanics out there because we end up like me with and toxic overload of petro chemical and chemical exposure so it slowly takes our lives but yeah we're a rip off

There is more than one heavy equipment mechanic that owes his job to Kurtis and CEE; your tool making is next level, especially fixing an impossible to repair part. The giant fixture-blocks for mill are cool and your eye-precision / hand work required setting the angle for the insert tooling that sits inside the bar. BTW great finish on the bar, and thanks mentioning the insert. Karen, excellent work. Your split screen edits and interior color grading / exposures are wonderful. Two camera shots using timecode? Your precision is awesome! The hand crank movement lathe drilling was a great idea - Including the spindle slow-down and stop on both splits, no less - are great. The time-lapse dissolve of the finished part at the job's end was really cool. Nice to see footage of Homey and the George the Butcherbird. (in the past - not this video) It would be cool if you had a polarizing filter or second camera set for exterior shots. Its difficult when your pressed for time an running in and out, easy for overexposure, cursing the light and fighting it later. Interesting, your both precise in your own right - yet expressed in different ways. Filming must stressful. His lines, problems with setups camera angles and exposures eat at equipment deadlines - yet it's your wonderful relationship, the love, giggling and laughter which makes the outtakes and channel great to watch - fantastic job as ever CEE!!!

That’s the cool thing about being a fully equipped machine shop: need a special one-off custom tool? Just make it yourself. No waiting, and no paying through the nose. 😎

Just when I thought there was nothing to watch !!! CEE never lets us down!!!!

That was a very fine job. You did there, young man . ❤

It's always a great pleasure to watch two professionals at work...... Karen, you can definitely add sound engineer to your cinematic resume As always Massive Respect from Aotearoa Leave, Same or Better, Everything Be Kind ☮️🙋🏻‍♂️

That boring head looks pretty damned handy! Definitely adding one to the list of future purchases

Safety officer job is done for the day . Time for a quick sleep. Great engineering to over come a problem. Karen great filming the perfect team.

Karen, this one is another marvel of videography. Your use of real time audio with the compressed video starting at 04:00 was so smooth 🤩🥰🤩 And then to both of you, I cannot say how happy your videos make me. Thank you!!

I have watched CEE videos long enough that I had it in my mind that he was going to use the new boring bar like a fly-cutter with X & Y axis movement of the table and Curtis hits me with another new-to-me cool tool in the boring and facing head. I am so used to working with what I have, not what I need. These videos are so satisying and I am addicted!

Good morning from California's beautiful wine country 😊😊😊 It's been a long week for me. Thank god its is Friday!

I spent the first 20 minutes of this video thinking I can see what he is making as a tool holder, but how is the insert going to pass over the face of the work? And now I know. It just reinforces my experiences of working with engineers throughout my career that an engineer’s mind works differently to other professionals, or mere mortals. To be admired. Great content.

Your use of splitscreen at the beginning was spot on and added a great deal to my enjoyment of the scene.

Just give me a min while I make a custom bar great work as always Kurtis and great video by Karen as always

Another great video. Love the explanation at the beginning of where the part fits etc. Cheers.

I bet your customer is really happy to get that machine back into production, the time saved is probably worth far more than the part cost. Amazing ingenuity to be able to make that custom tooling from a few scraps, saving yourself and your customers time and money. Amazing work Kurtis. Fantastic videography and editing as always Karen. And wonderful work by the safety officer keeping us all smiling along the way, thanks Homey. ❤

Always love some close-up machining action - and credit for the efforts and edited results of the close-ups, slow-motion swarf etc...
