Machining $100K Ball Valve for a HUGE Super Yacht 

Love the raw machining, no music, and with talking held off till the end. Nice change of pace👏

Pure maching, no music, no commentary no nothing, love it!

That art-deco pineapple looks cool as hell.

Sitting in my car on lunch break... watching a video about what I do once I go back inside... there's something wrong with me. Loved this video though.

Not gonna lie, I'm genuinely impressed with the depth of cut that tool can withstand and how much heat it must be holding up to.

I'm a machinist (and not a yacht owner), but that thing is so display-worthy as a roughed part. While it might be an odd request, I'd probably have a finished part installed in the engine room and a roughed part installed in the living room as an art piece. Maybe with the functional internals, critical tolerances, and mating surfaces made to spec so it could be used as a functional part in a pinch 😅 But that is cool as hell even if it's "just a valve". I'm looking forward to seeing the finished part.

That was awesome...thanks for not ruining it with some ridiculous techno soundtrack like so many people do on YT.

The margin for error is nonexistent. And to think that one day this masterpiece of art could be spending eternity at the bottom of some ocean.

Why can’t we leave it like it is? I know some areas have to be finished, but as it stands….ITS A WORK OF ART!

Those cuts are insane, you guys know your specs. No coolant, perfect speed and rotation for the chip to absorb all that heat.

if i had a choice i'd leave the outer surface like that, looks cool as hell, as long as you don't brush up against it, razor edge nightmare.

Wow over 1200lbs😳😳 Those Kennametal Tools can really do some serious work!

As soon as you said it was a rough finish a little tear came out my eye, all that needs is just a little debarring and that’s it. Jobs done 👍🏾

This thing is a piece of art as is

It's like watching a sculpture take shape. Nice work.

Loving the raw machining, truly an incredible process! Great work Barry and Ben!

Probably my favorite video in the last year or so

I don't know about others, but I figured they wanted it like this! It looks amazing just as it is!! If I was the customer I'd be cool with you stopping right there because then I'd have the coolest and most original ball valve ever!!

it's always fun to watch a massive machine create an endless supply of flying razor blades that range from 570 to 800 + decrees (or so)

The sound is scary and beautiful at the same time knowing the power and the precision machining it has!

Great video! I envy Barry’s talent.

It's very therapeutic watching videos like this. Very relaxing.

I like the way the rough finish looks. It looks awesome.

I love the art deco of the rough machining, I hope you left it that way.

The pure poetry in motion. Awesome

Love the asmr of this. Plus the dedication to send it without coolant and ruin tooling just for our pleasure ❤

Nice work Barry and Ben!

I love machining sounds ! This thing looks awesome ;D

Our profession is pure art, as I always tell people that don't have a clue what I'm actually doing for a living the last 38 Years. I make parts for machines that are either on land, in the water, in the air or in space. Some parts are really challenging and creates sleepless nights for the whole team but you accept it. If you are properly trained by craftsmen you learn how to do it as cost efficient as possible with the minimal amount of wasted material, and that is where the challenge is. A good machinist understands his machine(s) and it's tools. It takes Years to learn this trade and it's awesome for a carreer challenge because once you get up to that level it still remains very satisfying. And you are always keen on that new project that will test you again.

This vid made me feel appreciation to engineers and who invented the CNC, it's amazing indeed.

Amazing work! That part looks sick!

WOW... I can Destroy a new drill bit in a second drilling brass and these Kennametal tools look they are about to melt and they still keep cuttin' away......... kinda Amazing to me.. I keep watching this video over and over waiting every time for something to go &%^$#............ just plain COOL Titan .

so peaceful to hear & see

Friggin Epic......wow. Just....carved through that steel like BUTTER. Loved this video!

Fascinating as this is to watch, and kudos to the Titan machinists for the setup and machining program, it makes me reflect on the fact that there's now a generation of machinists who've machined with nothing but CNC, and a generation of engineers who've designed with nothing but 3D CAD. They have, however, seen existing and historical parts manufactured by other means. It always seems crazy to me to duplicate the form of a casting by hacking something from solid material. It's a lot easier to form smooth, flowing shapes in a wooden pattern than it is in AISI 4140. As others here have pointed out, you could just leave this part with the fascinating, "Chrysler building" roughing pattern on it. It would function equally well and save a lot of machine time and cost. Or you could just design it as a series of interconnected, simple prismatic shapes. You'd think someone who could afford to buy a superyacht could afford to have a casting made, even for a one off? (And aren't all superyachts "huge?" By definition?)

Very impressive , great approach to the job!

Nice!!! That's the super power of a 5 axis work 💯🇺🇲💯💪👍

Looks like an art piece. And damn the power of that machine.

I was mesmerized at 1:20 when it cut that thin slice of metal. That noise is something else. Great video!

Insane workmanship

Top tier machining video. Like all the others said, no music or monolog bs. And for real the amount of material that bit takes off per pass is mind boggling. I have a crystal Irish glass with a similar design... but done by hand 😏

I could watch same procedure over and over and over

The chip load is perfect

It's great that you give all the machine parameters so that I can try this a home!

Love the head nod at 7:58

The large portion of these videos are things we already do, but this is a beautiful piece of machining. Well done.

This is a piece of functional art amazing design and machining.

that cnc program is incredible!

the pineapple texture looks incredible

Totally perplexing luvin every minute of it

It looks like a trophy! I’d keep it looking just like it is. It’s art!

That is seriously impressive...

looks like an art piece!

Wish we could see that beauty being installed in the ship. Now I for one missed your commentary in the video as it's going as though the sound of cutting metal is good your commentary adds value to the part.

You're The Man Barry!

Thats some real beautyful maschining content right here 🔥

It doesn't surprise me the Vero did so well

I loved it when Titan had his show on the Discovery Channel many years ago. It is so amazing as to how far the business has gone since he first started doing this type of work. The fact that he was in a bad spot in his own life and that he has overcome the challenges of being in prison and changed his life around and to top it all off he is not the person that would never hire a person who has been to prison because he has been and knows that if you set your mind on doing great things it will come.

You sound exactly like John C Reilly. My wife thought I was watching Wreck it Ralph.

this machine is a piece of art

Carving out the inside is going more difficult than outside. I'm excited to see more.

When you can't hide tooling marks, you make them a work of art❤ Amazing machining!

That part looks exquisite. It must have been so satisfying to produce it. I bet the yacht owner loved it.

Amazing work!

looking forward to finishing video.

This could be a sculpture! Badass!

Chips, chips, and more chips! Love it!

Sick angles Ben!! Great video Barry! I don’t think it even needs finishing haha

hypnotizing for sure

The the teaching and master craftsmanship

When I started watch I though yeah, well, OK...then I noticed that this "part" was 2200 pounds! Amazing. (Great video, too! 👍)

Amazing work ... love it!

This. I want more of this.

Wow never knew Barry of all the employees would design this much detail into a part 😮☺️I’m use to seeing chatter marks (to much speed ) and blueing from the heat (too Deep) 😊just kidding with Ya Barry 👍🤞props 😊

Looks like a piece I would love to have in my living room with a light shining on it

Very very impressed 😊

Looks like cut crystal. Superb.

That's amazing to watch, I used to set and operate CNC machines but never made anything quite that complex. It makes me a little nervous, one wrong move and your machine is toast!

As a ball valve engineer this is very intriguing!

Awesome !👌

I personally like the way the roughing looks. Just make a nice deburring program and leave it rough. Definitely a work of art.

This is the first time i have seen a tool get used up in "real" time. Seeing the end of it getting duller and hotter as it went on. Im guessing this is just as much of a tech demo as its actually making the part, im really impressed and i dont even know that much about cnc.

Great working nice sound 👌

Good job Barry

Really cool video, I understand now why these parts are normally cast.

That is NICE. I do not see 100k in this, but when people have money, this is definitely worth it. Unfortunately, nobody will ever see it after it will be installed.

I wish I had some skills that could make me money. This is amazing engineering

I want to see this beauty get out into that yacht. 🔥🚢

Had my doubts if the fixture was rigid enough to get some nice tool-life, but it turned out well. I think the aftermath would be interesting on this part. Nice work guys 👍

Looks so cool before finishing. Id leave it like that haha

Amazing machine 🤩

Excellent ❤❤

Outstanding

The sounds starting at 1:23 are amazing. Pure science fiction laser beam twang. Too cool (or maybe too hot?)

i like the semi finished look of it it remind me of an artdeco sky scraper or something very rad

Zero coolent was harmed in the making of this video!

holy shit. good work.

1:54 Art Deco: Very nice. The roughing stage looks so great on curved parts.. (new definition of Blue-chip Company lol)

1:22 amazing sounds

My father was a machinest, I was always fascinated by it as a child and teen, but my father wanted me to have nothing to do with the profession. Working with metal - watching that cutter go through steel like it's paper is amazing Everytime imaee it happen.
