Greetings from Kenya 🇰🇪. I think the music was great. Maybe just the volume. And anyway, what better way to fill in the fast forwards and Timelapses with such great music…Looking forward to more videos…keep up the great work you are doing… subscribed 😊
@prodidzsáj yeah right, I'll bet that made Snowball feel great. You come here for the music and not his welding skills. I hear RU-vid has exclusively music channels, maybe you should go listen to one of them.
@@chuckerchuckerton7046 I agree, the music itself is actually quite nice. But I came here because I'm learning welding and I'm trying to pick up some skills.
The video is great! One suggestion is to manage the volume level of the music you add. Don't let it be too much louder than your voice or the noise from grinding/welding. Keep up the great work!
I like the music but I have to pump up the volume when you talk. I think your humble attitude is great your knowledge of the field is beyond your years. Keep up the great work1
Great video! Greetings from Australia. CEE and ICweld are great also. Workshop noise is often preferable to music. On CEE's early videos he had a similar learning curve with music/noise levels/ workshop noises - you're in great company! Keep up the good work.👍🙂
You are right, sound levels are all over the place. Have to turn volume up to hear his voice, then the music comes in and is blasting loud. other than that, great content. The music is not really needed IMO.
You think out the work and then do a really good job actually remaking the part regardless of the complications or simplifications. Really good workmanship.
Ollie you are an extremely talented individual. My father spent his entire career working in sheet metal. You remind me of him. Keep up the good work and may you be immensely successful.
Oliver, that was one aced job. A1. Something that's probably occurred to you since then is to add skid plates. They aren't just for abrasion prevention but beef up the rigidity of the bottom at the cutting edge. On that bucket it's obvious the operator abuses the heck out of the bucket and it needs all the stiffness it can get. People, don't like the music? Turn off the sound and turn on the sub titles. He's doing his best at two jobs, repair and fabrication and several more hours editing the videos which aew very well done.
Well a follow on for a sunday video . Not bad for your 3rd video .. now watching again a year later and yup it shows how well you have come with the quality of your videography . Still amazes me how much damage an operator can do with very little effort .
Good thourough job. You took your time and got it right the first try, My Dad told me several times “if ya had time to do it over, ya had time to do it right the first time! “ I wish I’d of paid attention to more of the good stuff He taught me … you’ll do fine Sir 👍
Thank you. It was fascinating to see the techniques you used. And your meticulous work was impressive. Even if I can’t weld, I can appreciate the work of a craftsman.
Wow, miss working steel! Shipyard repair and ironwork. I was taught by a WW2 vet that did damage control in the Navy, man had some tricks! Thank you for the video!
Excellent explanation of the problems and how you resolve. Clear, concise and very efficient Well impressed with your skills, abilities and the quality of the final outcome. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
I agree with Fred Fred about the noise level vs music vs speaking. I also love CEE’s content and I’m glad I came across your vid early days of your content. I really want to see where you’re going with the channel and I’m glad to subscribe early to watch you and the content grow….. please keep going, you’re doing what most of us don’t have the guts to do. Looking forward to more content. 🤘😝🤘
Nice job. I was an Oxy/Acetylene cutter and loved working with it, never really had a chance to try plasma as my job became more mechanical than welding. Well done getting that edge straight, the use of the block and wedge was a good idea. 👍
I've tried to straighten my buckets before with varied success, but this teaches me that sometimes it might be better suited to just cut out a section and replace or reinforce. Thanks.
You do it all day, then watch video's about it at night.!!!!! It sounds ridiculous, but I'm same. Farmer and part time engineer, then watch video's of same. We're sad, lol.
@@samuelrobinson9012 yeah drives the wife mad, sat watching welding videos all evening after nipper is in bed. She will happily watch cutting edge engineering though😊
Am surprised that the rings were intact, clients broke the other two you worked on. You're the only other guy I've seen doing gouge welding, seems really useful. Curtis from CEE in Aus does it also. Lastly, you are very soft spoken, might need a mic like pastors wear, over the ear on a wand. Good job straightening that bucket.
Outstandling repair and to be honest, wouldn't have thought, given I'm no heavy metal machinist, there would've been so much to the process. Loved the entire video, learning about welding a bit over here, then over there, so as to avoid heat warping and it was a delight to see the finished job, done to a high standard.
I was going to say the same. Enjoyed video but having to turn down music then turn back up to hear what your saying. other than that great video, looking forward to the next one.
I couldn’t see anything at all wrong with the video to improve on. You’re a talented young man who I think will have a bright future ahead of you. I’m amazed at the capability you have accumulated in terms of your workshop, tools & equipment & your skill set at such a young age. Keep up the good work & great content, that’s the only suggestion I could make.
Crikey! what a lot of work [but guess a new bucket is a lot of money], great to watch skill at work [3 mm is thick steel to me]. Great channel thankyou.
Your doing very well thanks, don't change oh you are for nobody just be yourself and that is what I like about you great. I love engineering I have watched a lot of your videos some I haven't commented but I like all your are a hard worker and nice sense of humour👍👍
Awesome vid of the troubleshooting and repair process of something like that. it reminds me of when I was the shop foreman for a big masonry company about 8 years ago. One of my forklift operators ran over a large steel grout tub and buggered it quite well. Those are surprisingly pricey and the bosses didn't want to buy or build a new one. Got out the winch, porta-power, some hammers and prybars and talked that 5\16 steel back into submission. Had about 16ft of broken weld to repair on it too. Took about 3 hours and after labor and consumables cost less than 1/5 of replacing it. The office folk couldn't figure out how I got it back into shape. My back was less impressed with my efforts... Same driver also ran over a gas saw and a wheelbarrow that same weekend. I had the site foreman let him go after that fiasco. How you miss a bright orange saw, blue wheelbarrow and 5ft long steel tub is beyond me!
Great video, might be worth mentioning what materials you use like grade of steel, what mig wire/speed you use. Maybe film that piece you use in the centre of the bucket being cut out? Maybe do a close up of a arc shot with a camera behind a darkening lens to give the viewer a sense of what you see? Subscribed and look forward to seeing this channel grow 👍🏼
Good video. Only complaint was the music was loud but your voice so soft. I was constantly turning it up so I could hear what you were saying, only to quickly turn it back down to keep my ears from being blast. I enjoyed the video though. Very interesting, keep them coming! 🍻
Good explanation of your plan of action. Which produced an excellent fix of the bent bucket Good use of fast motion. Excellent video. I’d do something about the gas leak flame from the nozzle tightening nut. Try using an engine valve lapping method .caution don’t leave hydrocarbon deposits due to the explosive reaction with oxygen under pressure.
Awesome video! I’ve always wanted to learn to weld. Music was a bit loud given your voice is a little soft spoken but hey… loved it! Watching from Maine!!
Very nice commentary, the explanations of what and why is spot on. The lighting could be brighter, the volume a bit louder. the flow was great, the fast-forward was great...the length was fine. Possibly a back story as to how the bucket was damaged? I enjoyed it emensly. Keep on.
It's nice but to make it better you should control the sound volume and level it across the vid's track. Music is less valuable than good explanation and showing how to be perfect (or aim at it), how to solve or bypass problems and avoid mistakes. You could make us want to learn from you and admire your craftmanship with no corners cut. This kind of admiration is a magnet in this quite a mediocre world.
@@snowballengineering I agree with On Fire...soft spoken is when your with the ladies, out in the shop YELL MAN...great start and best wishes to grow your channel!
Very interesting. Quietly spoken, no bad language therefore my grandchildren can watch as part of their education. I would like a bit more technical information, type of weld, type of rod, grade of the steel etc. but I don't expect you to give away all your knowledge!
Great skills man! A tip on the video production. The volume of the music and your narration does not match. I wanted to listen to your comments the volume of you speaking was rather low, then comes the music with was way higher. So as not disturb the rest of my family I had to adjust the volume up and down. Great job!
Hold on. What? no music? Dude, this is your video! YOU do what YOU do not what someone else thinks! Get in there & kick butt! IF you like it, play it!! That's what I think.
Enjoyed the video. The only thing I'd do right now is turning the music volume down just a bit so your voice and the tunes are all about the same level. I found my way over here from CEE's channel as well. Nice job! Keep it up!
I got recomended your first video, I knew I needed to subscribe. I'm on this 3rd video and I've already learned a bunch. The clamping of the metal to the straight edge, then using a wedge to straighten the main bucket part was great. I''l keep it in mind if i ever run into a situation like that. Great work, keep the videos coming, good explanation of your work, and great skills you have. 👍 Thumbs up man!
Nice job that. Better to cut the crap out and put new cutting edge on. Good move. Nice bit of strengthening on the middle part. Like your tecarc welder good Yorkshire company. Bought a spool gun off them very good well made products lots of spares too. Fergie in the background fab big tractor fan here. Look forward to more welding and fabing vids keep going thanks ruth and mark south Wales GB
Thanks! Yes, tecarc is good gear and in my part of Yorkshire. They’ll also make welders and plasmas to run on my split phase power supply. The fergie is an on going project fitted with a 2.8 daihatsu engine. Thanks for the support.
i just subscribed and started watching you videos. I really like them. I dont usually offer advice but you did kinda ask so one thing I think would be helpful is similar to what Kurtis does at CCE. At the beginning of each video he shows a picture of the piece of equipment that the part came from and a little bit about what it does. I really like this. I'm only on your third video so maybe you do more of this but its just something that stuck out to me. Thanks for the great videos :)
