  1. the welding fumes are not good being exposed for directly in the long run. In this case the work is just inside the open gate, and good natural ventilation

  2. OMG, SO EXTREMELY funny that would be!!!!!! This is COMEDIAN GOLD!! GOLD!

  3. CEE TV : '...and the parts are ready to be delivered, and will travel 10 hours to reach the customer's site' Discovery TV : '..the parts HAVE to leave the shop within 03:40, to reach it's destination 430 miles away within 01:30 AM the next day or the largest mining operation in Austrailia will stop and 1340 workers sent home! There is a storm forecast, will the truck ever reach it's goal in time?!

  4. Great channel you got running here, very educational, especially to younger/new people in this trade. Thanks for taking time doing these videos and sharing your knowledge.

  5. He got a plasma cutter too. For small cuts the 'multi tool' of acetylene torch comes handy sometimes. With such small cuts the differense in time does not really make up much

  6. just very thin lawyer, for protection/finish, not for a repair

  7. Would been a bit stronger but the wall thinkness after the reducting still will be x2-x3 the original. It's much about the 'visual effect', getting the part to look smooth and as much up to the original as possible. He takes pride in his work and got a reputation to take care of. A noticable thincker section on this part would look 'clumsy' and a bit unproffesional when actually not needed

  8. The tool for inside diameter measurement is a standard tool

  9. Protection of chromed surface from hot metal spoon

  10. Rough toleranses when it comes to a part like this to be welded up. Guess he is well within as he did it, but not a bad idea what you mention

  11. In this case it would been overkill with a soild bar. The pipe used got wall thickness maybe x3 of the original piece

  12. Would not bet on there is none, but would bet there are quite few

  13. It's many thousands, but much less than the cost of buying a new blade

  14. This is the usual small stuff one see at rental equipment. The rent is set at a level generally covering these wear & tear issues, and insurance for serious big stuff.

  15. Would look clumsy and a bit unproffesional. If it was strictly needed, then okay. But there is still more than enough wall thickness, 200%++ more than the original.

  16. Why not walk to town nstead of driving a car? Good question. One just use a couple of hours more to get there, but one get there

  17. Twice the price to buy a new one than this repair.

  18. Yes, steel SHS/RHS are most usually folded and welded. Aluminium ones are extruded. There are round steel pipes being extruded, so called 'seamless pipes' and some of them is further formed into seamless SHS profiles

  19. He got thousands of young machinist looking at his videos and learning)

  20. He takes pride in deliver a part that is as close to original. Even if the part should be more or less hidden when used the customer will see the part during installation and it might would look unproffesional if these fill-in pipes where noticable larger diameter than the original pipes hook up to it. As we see in his videos he gets in quite a few parts that got more or less proffesional fixes done to it, much of it is 'I don't bother doing these details, no one will notice' kind of fixes. So they come to him, not going back to the other guy

  21. By doing these videos he is passing the knowledge to thousands of young people. I guess he does not want the hassle of haveing another guy working there, but maybe in the future he'll take in an young 'student'

  22. Stop hot metalspoon to hit the chromed area of the rod
    1
  23. 7-8000 Aussie dollars, that's about 5-6000 Merican dollars
    1
  24. Protect some areas from getting hot metal spoon thrown at it

  25. He do these jobs typically at 1/4 to 1/2 the cost of new. He often mention some numbers, but not sure at this video

  26. Wrong comment field
    1
  27. Much of these jobs he's doing, is done for 1/3 - 1/2 the price of new parts is my impression.

  28. I think he takes quite many measures on the machines the parts come from, between linkage points and so on, and sometimes measures from other machines in the neighbourhood that are equal and got the parts intact. Guess it's generally hard to get original drawings from the manufacturers
