The tour of your workplace barge, and how only two people operate it and deliver diesel oil to ocean going ships was so interesting and enlightening. Thank you for showing. As for the discussion and the practical way of mounting and shaping large items, I also thank you. It proves that with thought and care a small machine can indeed handle large parts. Fabulous 👏👏👍😀
@@Rustinox Yes indeed. As part of my job I had to buy the milk for the staff canteen. It was THE most important part of my job. No milk, no tea or coffee. No tea or coffee, no work! 🙄
Hi Rusti, Great Video, As for speaking the language, no worries you speak it better than a lot of people in this country these days, keep up the good work and once again thanks for the stickers. Kind Regards Mike, from Cornwall
Hi Rusti, the marine part thrilled me. I visited Antwerp twice - once as an apprentice and later as a third mate. Great place with a grate spirit. As far as I remember most of the people were free speakers of english, french and dutch. That always impressed me.
Hi, Petar. Indeed, in Antwerp lots of people speak several languages. I grew up in Antwerp but don't live there anymore. BTW, i watched the pics you did send in the Facebook link. WOOW incredible.
Just found this site. You are a very interesting man Sir! And you speak better English than some of my fellow Englishman! I,m now a subscriber.Thankyou Kind Regards Stuart Bell from NE England
@@Rustinox ive also just explored your site further and now realise what you have gone through recently. All credit to you, your positive approach will help your recovery more than you know. Kind regards and the very best of wishes Regards Stuart
Great vid Rustinox, just shows how versatile a shaper can be with these setups and a little bit of imagination. I only speak English however a lot of my family live in the Shetlands and I try to understand but get totally lost with the dialect, almost all work either in fishing or for the North Sea Oil. Well watching you at work I felt right at home, I supervise the maintenance and capital works for a large 4 berth jetty delivering and exporting Crude, Bitumen, Petrol's, Diesel, Jet, Solvents, Fuel Oils and Chemicals for the Oil/Gas refinery I work at. We have our 3 bunker ships in at least every 2nd day to fill up and refuel out going ships around the port. The refinery is now producing the low sulfur fuel oils so the boys have been very busy in my absence getting lines ready for this new product to pump down the Jetty fuel lines. Cam
That's really nice, Cam. We both are in the same business. I planned to make a follow up video on the barge, but it' gonna take some time. We are only two people on this barge so it's difficult to work and film the same time.
Quite the exciting job you have, holy hell! I think another one of the reasons to mount the tool behind the holder is that when under load, the tool will feather out of the workpiece instead of digging further into it. I'll have to run a test someday to see where the tool holder's limits are - so far I did not have any chatter issues; my large tool bits have a pretty boring life now ;-)
Hi Adrian. Thanks for your comment. If you are interested, i posted another video where i talk about my job; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mDYdYDKQWbo.html As long as the cutting tool is not mounted behind the pivot line of the clapper, everyting go's well.
I worked 30 yrs an an engineer on Oil tankers, those big ships. Is yours a motorized barge? Very nice and clean, you have a nice setup. Enjoyed being on the water with you. It is ok I can't speak Belgium/Dutch? very well.
30 jears on the sea! You sure have a lot of story's to tell. We bunker all kind of seavessels from the smallest up to 400 meter (1312 Ft), which are the largest to come to Antwerp. If i see that people are interested in this subject, i could maybe make a sort of follow up video. We'll see.
Hey Rusty. You have no worries of me making fun of your English or Accent. English is my native language and I butcher it well enough on my own! Watching your barge video took my mind back to my time spent in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club. I was stationed on the USS Suribachi (AE-21). She was named after Mount Suribachi. She was an ammunition and fuel supply ship. I was part of the RAS (Replenishment At Sea) division. We would transfer fuel oil and munitions while underway. Doing so in the North Atlantic was something of an adventure. Great video and demonstration. Now, if you only had time to play with some scrapers and golf balls, you would know what fun really was. HAHAHA Thanks Rusty! Joe
Thanks for your comment, Joe. Don't worry, i can live with all kind of friendly jokes. It's just that some people like to break you for details instead of seeing the good things. (is that English?) Our bunker barge is an inland barge, so we never go on the sea. And, of course, we don't deliver ammo :)
Rusty, please don't let small-minded jerks irritate you. The 99% recognise that the world is a big place, made up of many interesting people with different backgrounds, skill sets and talents. We enjoy your videos, even if we are less vocal than the jerks.
Thanks for your kind words. Don't worry, i will survive. Everyday i work together with people from over the all world. It is indeed a very rich experience.
I just found your channel. Super job. I I'm learning things about how to run my small shaper that I have not seen from any of the other videos I've watched. Keep them coming.
Wow Rusty, I am impressed with your barge and that only 2 crew run it. Here we would probably have 6 or more crew. I have run passenger ships and work boats but stayed away from tankers. I would appreciate more videos from and about the barge. But don't stop the machining and humor.
I am planning to make a new video to show a bit the work on a barge. It is not easy to film and to work at the same time, so it's gonna take some time. For the machining, no problem. Stay tuned.
As far as I'm concerned your English is very good - I can understand everything you say, and have no room to criticize as my Dutch is almost non-existent and the French I know is a Canadian variant. Thanks for sharing where you work as I was very interested in seeing what you do and hearing about your vessel. The time lapse coming into the lock was cool as well. And nice job on the scrap engine block deck, might have to make up one of those variable angle tool holders for the shaper here. Lots in this one, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Everett. This Canadian French is beautiful to listen to. At home we speak French with my family, so Canadian French is very easy to understand for us. And your next project? Make a tool holder?
I figured you for a seaman or some rough outdoor work that needs brains and quick practical thinking I'm a retired Air Force united states flight engineer and jet engine mechanic.Worked around the big stuff most of my life.Guys like us,Make it work no time for hurt feelings or Bull.Stay safe with this damned Pandemic.I just got my shaper,not as nice as yours.I'm still learning.Thanks for sharing your knowledge.Your a humble man
Lovely! Cool and teaching video as ever! Really interesting job u do, sounds like u have to be very versatile . If I have to speak English it sounds like Arni in his first films..😝
I think my English is much worse than yours and it’s my first language 😂 I tend to watch lots of channels where English isn’t first language. I find something about it makes it more interesting. Enjoying working my way through your back catalogue
lol, really cool video man and pretty cool job you have there. I think I would have just clampped an angle plate to the table and attached the engine part to the angle plate, then cut it that way using the autofeed, that way you dont have any line in the finish from starting and stopping, and get a better finish too.
Cool job indeed, exept during the night time and rain. For the angle plate i can totally agree, except for one detail...i don't have one (yet). Thanks for your comment.
Nice to see your barge, mabe you have bunkered my vessel in Kallo or in Zeebrrugge.? I work in a Wallenius car carrier. Take care and keep up your good work //Captain Fredrik
Great video... Assuming you're from the Antwerp area, I only live 25 Km away ! I have a Klopp 450 shaper... wouldn't miss it for the world ! What type and make is yours? Paddy
Hi Paddy. Indeed, i work (mostly) in the port of Antwerp. But i don't live in Antwerp. My machine is a AI Hembrug, build in the Netherlands somewhere in the 60's.
Rustinox: NOTHING wrong with your accent. My mother was Dutch, so you sound like home. Anyone who makes fun of a persons accent or way of life etc is simply an arsehole, not worthy of any consideration. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks Robert. In fact it was just a little joke i made. I suppose it was a fail because most people took it seriously. Of course i can stand a little remark on my accent.
