This video is Part 2 of the massive repair job on a broken D8 Bulldozer blade. In this video we finish welding out the bottom of the blade, drill the holes into the corner tips to fit the cutting edges, use carbon arc gouging to remove the hungry board support plates and prep the blade for the new wear skin. Watch Part 3 next where we complete the repairs and to see how the blade turns out!

Nice touch placing a clock in frame during the time lapse. It's a great way of showing how time consuming work like this is or can be. Flip your mask down to do some tacks. Hammer everything square then prep for final welds and 2-3 hours have just vanished.

@SeanBZA 11 месяцев назад

Yes, and the clock is a nice branded one, from the bolt supplier, so not only a good show of the amount of time, with no wasted work, and a good bit of product placement as well for the supplier, who will always have customers coming in new, having seen the brand on the side, and choosing them when looking for fasteners. Plus good bolts, all of them looking nice and new, though in a year all will be back and need to be cut off, at least those that are not simply ripped right out.

@nicktecky55 11 месяцев назад

@@gregc2467 Starting? She's been bang on since day one pretty much. The "invisible" sign of a pro at work I enjoyed was in the edit this time. In the 'time lapse' sequences, she managed the time by a combination of speeding up and cutting out pieces. But each was carefully chosen, too fast and you can make the audience nauseous, especially with the super crisp imagery of digital photography; the jump cuts were also selected so that the story was still being told, and avoided repeated cutting at a fixed interval, which can have the same effect. All of that was held together by the sound track, which was normal speed, that softened the whole sequence up. Add to the that the instinctive way she sidestepped to get her shadow out of the shot with Homer running up to Kurtis.

Fantastic work Kurtis, this doesn't just demonstrate skill, dedication and commitment to doing the job right everything but also the benefit that comes from having the work done by someone who has seen countless failures and has learnt how to prevent them. Book smarts and simulations are one thing but there's really no replacement for someone who has done the hard yards where the rubber meets the road.

It doesn't help that these companies also seek to make a profit by making less durable components. The machines themselves can last decades, but maintenance items are always seen as recurring revenue. If the factory did the sort of work to all of their brand new blades, they'd likely sell fewer dozer blades at insane prices.

@CSWmanofsteel 11 месяцев назад

Haven’t seen the end yet but a suggestion, those cutting edges should have the paint on the backside removed so that it’ll be a metal to metal contact between the blade and the cutting edges. If not over time the paint will compress and the bolts will come loose resulting in unwanted wearing on the new material, this is something I’ve seen with restorations of blades so when I do a restoration like your doing I remove the factory paint.

Agreed. Our illustrious Heavy Metal Artisan Kurtis could benefit from a Health & Safety & Ergonomics appraisal by an expert on production line Fabrication work. My best guess is that he'd get a report mandating an entirely new outfit to wear plus (hydraulic-powered?) variable height platforms to elevate his work level to knee level plus, where practicable. After all, guys doing car chassis restoration work use an improvised Rotisserie-type piece of equipment for ease of safer, lower skeletal stress access & efficiency gains. Think Smart to minimise the likelihood of an accretion of irreversible skeletal wear & tear & boost efficiency too. And how about a full skeletal scan at a friendly clinic as well to assess the current of play? When younger, I worked at foundry & copper smelter jobs during university holidays - dirty, hard physical work indeed! For Kurtis, retirement from Heavy Metal Fab work could be 25 years off.

I'm torturing myself here ... I saved watching Part 1 until Part 2 was out, but now there's a Part 3, so I guess I've got another week to wait before I can truly binge CEE for a good 90+ minutes! 😁

She made a community post about it all but yeah I feel ya on disliking multiple shorter episodes. I LOVE the long episodes.

@joelbrown3479 11 месяцев назад

I enjoy the longer videos with multiple parts because EACH can stand on their own, yet together create a detailed story... Thanks 😂😂😂tears of JOY

Killing it as always. I was already sold on the massive job at hand but the "hows the serenity" comment was the icing on the cake. You guys make me proud to be an Australian. Best of the best. Full stop.

In all my years of watching restorations and What not I have never seen a portable drill press.

@rons3103 11 месяцев назад

For all you boys and girls out there, Look how Kurtis cleans up and puts his drill back into the box before moving on to the next step! What a concept! 😂😂😂😂 I would call the flapping of the tarp, clapping that the job is done for the day and filming is over! 😁😁😁😁

@williamlushenko3196 11 месяцев назад

I would hire this master fabricator for ANY job, no matter his price. You know it'd be worth it; high-quality work, no short cuts & obvious integrity. I enjoy watching people do their job(s) when they know what they're doing.

he did take a shortcut... the corners of the plates... but you know even his shortcuts are going to hold up better than some people's repairs.

@samuhell14 11 месяцев назад

The amount of work done to that dozer blade is just mind blowing! What really amazed me is the number of angles and sections you're working with and that everything fits nice and snug once you put it back together without a welding jig or model! Top notch work as always Kurtis and the same can be said for Karen's camera work. Best regards from Canada :)

@philipB31 11 месяцев назад

Excellent work Karen, clearly there’s a massive amount going into this project and you’re keeping Curtis on a leash… needless to say: thank you for sharing and thank you for piecing this masterpiece together.

@surplushunter 11 месяцев назад

Kurtis, the way you take care of and maintain your tools, especially the portable ones, sets a fine example for everyone to follow. Taking care of expensive tools ensures being able to do the jobs needed for years to come, your attention to those details is amazing!! Carry on,,,,,

@riddledj3468 11 месяцев назад

I feel like you could give me all the tools and metal but 10 years of trying mine would still be crooked. I enjoy watching people do things I can’t do. Thanks for the video man.

@st3althyone 11 месяцев назад

Goddamn, you're doing some amazing work rebuilding this dozer blade, Kurtis. I never knew jobs like these were possible, but I guess you save wherever possible considering the cost of these parts brand new. I can't believe you‘re doing all this work like it was a Sunday stroll. You’re replacing all these massive pieces and welding them like it's nothing. Thank you both for all your hard work and dedication, especially Karen for putting in all the hard tedious work of editing all this content. We appreciate you both and can't wait to see this massive job completed-much love from South Texas.

Congrats Karen with the “How’s the serenity” comment at the end of the bloopers. “The castle” was such a great movie! Loving this series, once again I’m taken back over twenty years ago when I used to do stuff like this, I can almost taste the grinding dust. And Curtis, At least your magnetic drill had 3 bent handles, ours only had one, and the cutters were dull!🤣

@rocketman13f51 11 месяцев назад

Just when you think you’ve seen every tool that Kurtis uses out comes a new Star Wars Tool! May the Force Be With You or at least the tools! One hell of an operation!

@kimmoj2570 10 месяцев назад

This kind of total rebuild really shows the skill and energy of Kurtis. Just seeing him standing up after he had welded all those braces kneeling around 20+ minute mark in this video... Yep. The feet get "bit" stiff when you constantly throw your body on the line. CEE @CuttingEdgeEngineering is an absolute magnificent channel! YT has lot of channels where they dabble with maybe doing something, some day. Kurtis does it commercially every weekday, and Karen let the rest of us oogle.

Welders pliers, 1001 uses. Now 1002! Kudos again to Karen for her excellent video and editing. And for working with difficult talent like Carl.

@Adam_Lynn 11 месяцев назад

It's easy to watch your edited videos and get a false impression of how much time and care goes into a repair like this. Adding the clock was a brilliant idea. What a fantastic repair, better than new!

@GIGABACHI 11 месяцев назад

Jestem elektrykiem doceniam twoja fachowość precyzję wykonania i sposób w jaki to z Karen prezentujecie! Oglądam wszystkie wasze filmy jak najlepszy serial w Netflix!😊 Życzę wam wszystkiego najlepszego dużo zdrowia i dużo ciekawych realizacji! Pozdrawiam z dalekiej Polski!!!🇵🇱

Karen could just upload all of the recording without edits as an experiment in viewer engagement. It would be bizarrely long but probably still interesting.

Excellent fabrication job, but I have to take my hat off to Karen for her top of the line video editing! The time lapse clock was a great touch and showed how time consuming this type of work is. Quality takes time! Keep up the good work guys!
