We're making serious progress on the new boom section for our crane! We start by salvaging parts from the old boom before getting started on the brand new 6 meter RHS (Rectangular Hollow Section). But before installing the custom-built boom end we crafted and built in Part 16, we meticulously weld in all the necessary components like pulley mounts and guide block plates. The new boom end itself goes in smoothly, and then it's time to lay down some serious welds. We weld the boom internally to the RHS and weld all the flat bar onto the main end plates. To finish things off, we tack weld flat bar to the top of the RHS, creating a barrier for the extension cable. This episode is packed with fabrication and welding, showcasing a fantastic upgrade for our Franna crane. Stay tuned for the next Franna crane project video or catch up on all the previous videos below 😎👇

I have been following this project since the beginning. What have I learned in all these 17 episodes? 1. The value of quality work: you are no ‘cutting corners’ here. This is not a quick fix, but a complete overhaul. This is a lesson for life. 2. Aim for the best: If you can do it right, do it right! I see this in what both of you do, Kurtis and Karen. 3. This project has been a lesson on perseverance. Sometimes, the end seems far away, but you have shown us how important is to go on, ‘one step at a time’. Many times, I asked myself when is this disassembling part is going to end? Well, now we are enjoying the assembling part of the project. But to be able to enjoy this video, we had to accept the previous ones. Without them, today’s video wouldn’t have been as rewarding. 4. During the whole process, enjoy the simple things of life. Homeless and the birds are as enjoyable than machining and welding. I could say that without them, the whole project would have been boring! Finally, I have to say that your field of work is totally different to my job. I work with books, ideas, and people. Not steel and machines. But I’m attracted to your channel because I can feel that yours is a vocation, not just a job. Both of you enjoy what you do. And we, the viewers, can see that.

So I'm a physical therapist specialized in psychosomatic complaints. I do a lot of training with people on relaxation and body awareness. In my spare time I'm modding a motor cycle. Welding here and there. Welding - I found to my surprise - is an incredible source of relaxation and mindfulness. And the even more surprising part is when I see and hear Curtis welding my body automatically relaxes. Who would have thought that I can have a relaxation by proxy welding 😃

@2nickles647 24 дня назад

A hobby welder thinks it's relaxing because it's not their profession. Because I'm a hobby welder 😉, it's something I enjoy. I taught my middle daughter how to weld. In high school, she could weld. Her teacher asked where her skills came from. She said my daddy. Even though she didn't become a welder by trade. She took on the challenge. She became a Teacher and earned her master's in childhood education. I also knew many professional welders that did alot of welding in boilers/Boiler makers. There were some women in that group. Talk about flyash, working in very confined areas, workwear in proper PPE. My hats off to my fellow workers. At the end, their eye sight are affected. Cheers.

Love watching your videos. I’m a fabricator myself and I’ve actually been doing robotic welding for 29 years. A lot of your welds come damn close to looking like it was robotically welded since they are so straight and clean. I’m a hobbyist and fabricator at home as well but at work when welding you could say I cheat. Because I’m not holding the weld torch. Plus on long wells I use seam tracking which keeps everything in the joint, nice and consistent. CHEERS.

The degree of difficulty for those inside welds can only be truly appreciated if one has ever had to do it...awesome work Kurtis!!!

So excited to be able to view for once a CEE episode within minutes of it being published. I usually watch your videos 9-10 hours after you've published them but today's a public holiday here in Norway and here I am enjoying the latest Frana Crane installment almost in real time!

@nicholascampbell7349 24 дня назад

Honestly this is my favorite channel on RU-vid and I await the content weekly. Kurtis you are the absolute best at your craft and as soon as I see you miss a spot the next scene is you taking care of it. Nothing goes unnoticed, I admire your dedication and eye for perfection and usually it is perfection mate! Also Karen does a excellent job at the transitions and weld exposure! 10/10 mates! Love the channel! Love the Franna content!

@gusviera3905 24 дня назад

Coming together nicely! Beautiful welds. Perfect fitment. Just some damn nice work. And at a third of the cost by my reckoning (based on what your mate paid). Nice. Thanks for letting us watch and have a great weekend, guys. Cheers.

@Losttoanyreason 23 дня назад

Thoroughly enjoying this series . For someone like myself with no mechanical skills and little patience, I just find it amazed at how you pull this stuff off. You actually surprised your camera woman😁 when you turned the sander on it's side, LOL.

Absolutely love the Frana crane project it covers everything in fabrication , loved Karen's reaction didn't know the belt grinder swivelled over 😄 😮

@rsc4peace971 17 дней назад

This is by far one of the Engineering Fabrication Extraordinire. Most of the machining or other maker videos are either restoring old machines or run-of-the-mill small gadget-making. This is real hands-on, pure craftmanship supreme. In the age of CNC machining and other automated mass manufacturing the skill of the individual is almost disappearing but you and a few others are just a joy to watch and learn. Greeting from USA

@cosmopezzolla996 18 дней назад

That came out amazing! Kurtis made the fab and welding look easy and Karen's camera work/ editing was incredible as always. Great job guys! Bet you're starting to get excited now, things are starting to go back together!

@phillipcave1197 24 дня назад

@brickshotted 24 дня назад

A pleasure to watch, as always. Torching of that hole was pure perfection, and the welding is second to none. Everything looks easy, that's how you know you're watching a professional😎😎

There’s Lots of clever people on RU-vid who make some great things but man you do you up the game all the time, hands down my favourite fabrication channel on RU-vid shout out to you both as the content has to be fun to watch and I know how much time and effort goes into that.

@adamolecky6296 24 дня назад

I like how Curtis bought crane to simply make his own piece by piece. It is basically crane kit. Wouldnt be suprised if he would ended up with two identical cranes. One original and second brand new :D

@caymanchristopher7014 24 дня назад

Exactly! He only bought it to use as a template to build his own! I was just thinking that and saw your comment. 😂

You have to know that Franna is watching both for product as well as process improvement.

@arthurmoore9488 24 дня назад

@@RaceBanner_ Unless he charges 7k AUD/day*, he also just proved he can make a whole new section for cheaper than Franna can. Depending on material delivery times, he could probably do it faster too! * And he might. This kind of skilled labor and equipment isn't cheap.

@RaceBanner_ 24 дня назад

@@arthurmoore9488 I’m an airline captain and happen to live near a major maintenance base, & I’m friends with many people there. I am forever amazed at what our skilled trades team can create. Frustratingly though, many aviation parts MUST come from OEM or approved suppliers at 10x the cost, and often at a lower quality than what they can build in house. Zero question Kurtis will have one of nicest Franna’s out there. And - true story - I stopped by maintenance the other day to help out on-the-clock with some improvements testing with the manufacturer, and what was moving a bunch of rebuilt engines around in the run-up bay? A Franna crane.

@a.karley4672 23 дня назад

@@RaceBanner_ Even if Franna aren't at the corporate level, lots of their staff will be watching and saying "see, I told you we should have done X, not Y". Or the Italian equivalent, with gestures that would scare the birds away.

@ToreDL87 24 дня назад

My heart sank when, on top of the cab, you had to redo the boom too. That said I can still see this being cheaper and less hassle, you're restoring an already approved machine effectively doing rust repair to a car vs technically making a new one, the engineer signoff debacle on material types alone (much less thickness, geometries and all that ooffyiffie) for every single aspect of it would have been absolutely mind blowing. It's a much appreciated and rare glimpse into how these cranes are built.

@awesomecronk7183 23 дня назад

This going to be the sweetest little yard crane ever! That boom end is looking FABULOUS, very nice!

@dodge_ute 23 дня назад

I'm loving the crane project, thanks guys. So much of the crane needs rebuilding/replacing/modifying I can't help wishing Kurtis had built it from scratch. Yes more work and I confess I'm being greedy wanting Kurtis to show more of his stunning ability :)

@johnhampson7 24 дня назад

Am I impressed or what, I never thought I'd see one guy put together one of these booms. Bloody fantastic Kurtis.

Hello CEE team, greetings from Belgium. Another piece rebuild for the Franna crane, slow but steady we are getting there. Personally I love those type of video's as it provides an exact view, means/feeling what it means to tackel those type of restorations/rebuilds.

@ScottHammet 24 дня назад

Those high-speed shots around the 10:40 mark of Kurtis welding were pretty cool. One can appreciate the experience in technique, in that his arm moves just as smoothly in high-speed as you'd expect if the shot weren't sped up. No wobble. No jerking around. Really fluid.
