Hey, I'm not American but I'd say he would be an awesome "Public Works" secreatary. "What, rebuilding that bridge in 4 years ?? Let me show you, we'll make it in ONE year." Period.
We really love watching your videos!!! You as a younger person have a clue about fixing things without spending all your money on doing it. Keep them coming Andrew!!!! We learn from watching you!!!
hes good operator on the machines too. seen him dig a big ass tree stump out with the other green excavator. good technique. he was taught well and smart dude will only get better. not to mention he built that cool ass building there out of steel.
Andrew I have been watching your videos for 2 years. I have learned so much from you, thank you sir. I just bought my first excavator today, because of you.
It's ...It's...ALIVE...the new FRANkenBUCKET...at least twice as much capacity now. Awesome Andrew engineering...love those videos.... What I like the most about your last couples of videos, it's that you will be more flexible and versatile, optimizing your equipment, you wont need to go and change excavator in the middle of a job. Good for you!
Your vids are always therapeutic to watch for people who like to create things with their hands... Completely full buckets being lifted up and dropped into the back of the dump truck... I'd say your ingenuity paid off... You solved the problem... Nicely done...
Probably no critics regarding this bucket, I hope! This project exemplifies Andrew’s can do spirit and creative abilities. The welding “experts” critics need to have every tool available and several drawings.
Andrew brings out the kid in all of us. When I watch his latest video I keep looking at the time line hoping it doesn't end. Sadly it does. But I am left with the desire to go out back and dig a big big hole. You inspire people Andrew. Keep it up.
That turned out to become a handy dandy bucket! It even got two flat sides and an edge inbetween to flatten stuff out. Why would you buy a new bucket when you can 1. have fun engineering, 2. repurpose material and 3. make something very useful that you can be proud of having built yourself and have fun with using it! Love you and your channel Andrew!!
..and later in the week Camarata colonized the Moon and Mars, cured cancer, solved the deficit, brought all warring parties together, and created perpetual motion.. or at least I think he could. I mean, I'm busy.. but I'm just not "Andrew Camarata busy"! Great video Andrew!
@@gearhead0800 Camarata has skills that were very common among men not long ago. Millions of men did metal fabrication daily. Those men and their jobs are now gone to China. Americans have advanced to the 'hand held device' stage of technology. Millenials don't do metal fabrication, but they sure can play vidro games.
@@georgepretnick4460 remember IA class in school? ..... Im a Navy Vet self taught software engineer for my profession now. I weld (mig tig and stick) plasma cut, do electrical and carpentry. I give all the credit to Industrial Arts Class the trades are vanishing
@@georgepretnick4460 Well put. I had a beat up '67 Bug that I had to become mechanically inclined to drive and by god I was gonna drive all over the world in my mind. So, yeah, very true and there you go!
I like his mindset on tools and equipment. In one of his videos he said some guys are driving around in a 50k truck, meanwhile he spent 50k and got an excavator, truck, plow, dump truck, lift, etc. He's smart for that. They're tools in the end, and the more you have, the more money they'll make you.
@@mhess427 I totally agree. I like how Andrew don't give up. Me ill get frustrated and start getting loud Andrew is different he stays calm and figures out another way to fix stuff and when he does its 10 x stronger.
Simple More value for his dollar. Andrew knows his equipment. What will work for his needs and and what won’t. People are so concerned that they have to have the best looking or newest latest n greatest gadget. One You Tuber I unsubscribed from was buying new equipment and then would make videos complaining and whining about the equipment he just bought.
I thought you were a little crazy adding that much material to your bucket. Thought it would be clumsy use or awkward to close. Looks like it works quite well. Congrats on another successful rehab-refab!
E>X>C>E>L>E>N>T modification of that grading bucket AC! @6:13 you did a great bend test of your Mig welds when you spread the opening wider against the welds on the top. Thanks for posting.
Hi from over the pond . As a welder i have noticed that your welding has now become better with as much pratice as you have had , First Class welder on heavy steel great work
When all else fails get the BH out. Midas size it. If it doesn't fit we will make it fit. Another awesome video. My wife wonders why I watch your videos so much. I tell her because you are a great teacher. I have learned so much by watching your videos. Everyone should have your work ethics.
I just witnessed magic, I got done watching one video and you upload another one as soon as I got done watching the last one. Keep up the great work Andrew!
Hi Andrew, I enjoy your videos thanks. I have a cnc plasma table mostly use it for my own personal projects. I'm disabled and make adaptive tools for myself. I do make enough money selling signs and art to pay for the table. I don't regret getting it.
Andrew you are one talented individual 😉 💪 I wish everyone had your work ethics. Great weld job! Can't wait to see your new CNC machine👍👍😃 I appreciate the time you take to make these enjoyable videos. Hi Levi🤗
Great job on the bucket. I like you alot because you come up with solutions and act on them straight away. You can fix almost anything and do good work too. 👍👍🇵🇪🐕❤️
Good drain ditching bucket Andrew. Wet soil and mud may be a little heavy for that size machine with the stick fully extended.. Be careful not to tip over sideways.
You are amazing. I wouldn't know where to begin modifying the bucket. You made it look like child's play. Before and after video, the before looks wrong. You doubled the capacity. This is a Dexter approved video!
I love these videos. Every time I weld something, I fanatically clean the metal to shiny state, then wipe with acetone, before actual welding. This guy welds though rust and dirt and mud and god knows what else, and it still works just fine. Nice to see another way of doing things...
what i like about Andrew is that he does not act the fool..loves his craft and shares it with us without crying for patreon support..He is vastly more talented of YTers of his ilk..He has a varied interest and teaches me something on every video..that stated...He is talented and smart..not many folks are of his caliber, but i bet they are all jealous...
That was awesome! Really nice job of taking something you already had and making better for a little time and very little money instead of spending a grand + on another bucket. Thanks
good work. Ive made a few excavator buckets from scratch. A skeleton bucket and a topsoil trommel type bucket driven off the auxiliary hydraulics. I cut everything with a hand torch but we now have a homemade cnc plasma table and it sure would have been helpful in the build. Last project was a large sandblasting cabinet. everything was documented on my channel
Awesome get er done attitude and engineering on the fly. Knew what he wanted and made it happen. Need more people like this and our future would be much brighter.
Hi Andrew. Another great project and video. Being a handyman in my spare time, I like the way how you can improve things with a bit of thought and some hard work. I always look forward to your videos. Keep up the great efforts. Regards from Australia. 👍😀
Well done, as per usual. Grandad always used to say "If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer" LOL and you massaged that plate to fit, looks great! Cheers from Tokyo!
Thank you for your videos , I did lots of reaserch for a Cnc plasma setup and the best bang for our buck is a cnc router parts , it cost less then half of the Lincoln setup , also your excavator sounds just like mine when I had dirt in the fuel filter , might want to check that
Those plasma cutters are great. My wife bought her one for my birthday several years ago. She was just so tired of driving 40 miles to get acet and oxy refilled.
Plasma CNC is definitely something you should look into, once you make parts on one youll never want to cut it out by hand again, just make sure you go with a good brand the cheaper/kit ones arent bad but lack some features of some that cost only a few grand more. If you have any questions I can tell you which I have
That turned out awesome! It even looks great! I thought that maybe it would look a little hoakie, but no! You just redesigned an existing bucket into something that could be marketed.
Great Mad Max bucket upgrade! It looks like it almost doubled the yardage capacity in addition to fixing the curl issue. Very nice, Andrew. Shout out to the blonde baller Levi!
Hi Andrew, I enjoyed watching you modify this bucket. I thought that the tack and test process was a very good idea and I enjoyed your CAD, cardboard aided design and plasma cutter work. It looked at one point as if you were making the bucket into a grading and sieving bucket to filter out rocks, but maybe that is a future project.
Excellent work!! That is so awesome how you just think of something you need and then you make it! No matter what it is made from! Awesome! Really enjoy your videos! Peace and Good Fortune to you and your family.
Great way to solve and do it yourself !!! Love that initiative ! All rounded contractor/equipment operator!!! Well done!!! As a General Contractor I really " hate it" to be waiting and been rip off by "prima donna " subs !!! Lot to learn from you! Cheers from Maui, HI!!!
Your videos are always very informative creative and very cool but one suggestion the bucket you should paint them safety yellow or orange or some fluorescent color that way in bad weather conditions or if it's starting to get dark you have a better visibility to avoid messing something up that you don't want damaged
You remind me of my grandfather. He started his small business after WW2 in a small town in Germany. He couldn't buy anything, even if he had enough money, because there simply where no machines or tools available. So he built all the things he needed, he invented what had to be invented. An important source for his projects was a destroyed Tiger tank from which he took steel plates, screws and many other parts. I really enjoy your videos, i like to see how you build, modify and improve stuff. Good job!
Great modification, bucket looks natural to the eye, good fabrication skills Andrew. I think a CNC Plasma table would make you money where you are, I'm assuming there isn't many with them near you, great for ornate gates, ornaments, weather vanes etc, and the odd Camarata special excavator tool. Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
For those of us who have a hearing impairment, please wear a remote mic! The distance to your cam mic, and the poor acoustics, make understanding what you say very difficult, even if we are wearing our "ear plugs"!
It was good but could be better. Not complaining, only suggesting. At the beginning with you in the shop at a distance was difficult to clearly understand. I'll try cc in the future. Your videos are important to many, they teach as well as entertain. We want to get all we can from them; hearing everything clearly and distinctly really helps. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way but I might be one of the few who have mentioned it. Getting old is not for sissies; it's darned hard work.
I'm sure the sound is good on most all of AC's vids. but for the hearing impaired, when he moves some distance from the mic, it's harder for us to understand. We lose hearing in tonal ranges; the tones change as the speaker moves away for the mic. If AC were to use a portable mic, the tones would not change. Acoustics and background noise also play a heavy part. I was just asking if he would "consider" helping us with hearing loss by using a portable mic. And it's not just AC's vids we have trouble with, we have the same problem with other YT vids. We miss a great deal that we don't want to miss, and, esp with Andrew's vids, that's a real shame because we learn so much from each one. The problem is NOT with what AC produces but with the viewing audience. I was asking for help so we could enjoy these prime quality vids even more!
Andrew, you can plug a shotgun mic into the Hero 7 I believe. GoPro will be more than happy to sell you the adapter. Not sure what the preamp is like, might have to turn the external mic on low and bring up volume in post production. I haven't got the hero 7 yet, but been running external mic on Yi 4k+. But do what makes you happy. Haha
@@AndrewCamarata Yes the audio is pretty good, I suffer from Tinnitus heavily, plus I don't hear some normal human low frequencies, but I also hear some high frequencies only dogs should normally hear... and I have no trouble with your sound, but I confess sometimes correcting sound with the RU-vid sound control and my computer sound control...not enough to burden you with more work and equipment for doing your videos!
Yep , perfecto !!!! I am always amazed with the gut you have !!! Be careful and safe not to hurt yourself You are a good guy !!! With a lot of natural potentiel. !!! Serge ( from Mtl )
It has to be the magic of editing, cause it seems that everything u do is "so easy", " perfect cut", "perfect grading", " just the right amount of drain pipe" and all in all just always a great job lol. Keep it up cause I have learned alot from u. I know the right way and the will it work way of things so keep it up!!!!!
