I am an old fucker with no guarantee of another week. So, I would like to have a midweek video from you. Australia was on my bucket list, now, it is too late. It is 05:25 here. I was up for a pee. I am going back to sleep for a few hours. Great video.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Indeed the Mrs is an awesome cameraperson. Very good clear closeups, slo mo shots, steady footage, clear audio, very professional.
I agree, cutting edge engineering and fireball tool have really taken the show for me. Amazing craftsmanship skills, you can always learn something and get a good laugh from their videos
@@jtveg Indeed. I just wonder, upon seeing 10:00 - is she also a rain lover? Or just _that_ dedicated to the work of showing the context for all this?!? Either way, fun stuff. (And in the former case, I bet that was a fun excursion! :) )
I want to thank you guys. I watch your videos while I’m at work and they’re oddly hypnotic and relaxing. I’m probably not alone in feeling that way. Before I know it my day is over and I’m on my way home. Hat’s off to both of you…and Homey. I love that you feed the birds too - shows your hearts are in the right place.
Been stuck in hospital for almost a month now and absolutely love these CEE videos, they've really made the days pass quicker. Was a long time Abom79 fan but the production quality of these videos is absolutely gold standard.
@@risfutile At least - I hope - he still has his old videos to still enjoy ... ... fortunately TH-cam has added a function whereby you can start from oldest to newest ... ... so it's like seeing S1 of your favourite show, before it went to shit ...
These are the best videos, without much talk and without music, everything shown very precisely. I'm already looking forward to the second Part. Very professional Greetings from Germany
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Kurtis...PLEASE...watch your punctuation! There is an apostrophe between the "fuck" and the "s" because it's a contraction. "What the fuck is a filter" becomes "what the fuck's a filter?" Could be kids reading this so you have to set a proper example for fuck sake!
I've been a diesel mechanic for 25 years and dabble in fab and machine work. After watching "CARL"(could help it Curtis) I wish I would of been a machinist. Can't stop watching. Cheers from the USA.
I'm just going to paws a moment to applaud and acknowledge the diligent efforts of everyone's favorite four-legged safety officer. Who knows how many time's he's saved Kurtis' bacon? Well done, fuzzy one, well done.
You have just made me home sick, I used to have a workshop in Coomera and the rain on the roof used to drive me nuts,but now I live in California and it’s only spring and we are in a drought. That sound of the rain is now music to me. Keep up the good work guys
I'm not a machinist, nor do I own a Catepillar, I don't do anything that has anything to do with this channel, but I truly enjoy watching a calm Aussie do tings in the workshop, I have binged most of your videos by now. Great footage, just enough talking, no music, and occasional dog apperance, I love it!
Kurtis, I really have to hand it to you, the machining is first class but what caps it all is the time and effort you put into the commentary - the filming and editing speaks for itself, also first class.
Customer: Can you please explain, why this needs repairs? Kurtis: It needs repairs, 'cuz it's fucked. Customer: I see. I do love a precise explanation. I take that one.
That's the perfect technical response to all problems. It's fucked, just fucked so it can be repaired. If it was proper fucked you would need a new one.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering remember to send them two pictures when they scoff at the price, 1 picture of a completely fuckered up fix that wont work worth a damn, or a fix that is done proper, tell them "i can do picture 1 for what you want to pay me, or you can pay me what I want for what you see in picture 2".
Im not sure why I love this stuff but I do. My HS guidance teacher said I should have been a machinist. 40 years ago it was too finite for me. I ended up being an electrician by chance. Took all the shop classes except electrical in HS and then. 40yrs later and now Im geeking on machining at home and at work. Loved your vid and scribed
As I sit here eating supper and watching this, thank you for giving explanations on not just what you are doing but also what you are seeing and answers on to why it could be doing it.
Every time I see these vids I think "This man is a star infront of the camera." But then, the bloopers appear and I think "What on earth is wrong with this dude?" Every fucking time. It's hilarious 😂
Kurtis, you and your wife do an excellent job with these videos. You know what we are wanting to see and you give it to us without long times of wishing. Thanks for trimming and cutting and time-lapsing, all done very well. The blooper shots are fun, but really unnecessary, Kurtis is our hero on these repairs.
I think it is really cool that you have a wife that supports you so much she is willing to go through the tedious hours of watching what you are doing while filming. Very excellent material to watch!
Don’t know why I like watching this stuff. Have never been a machinist. I guess I just find it fascinating. Must be a tremendously satisfying job. And thanks to the video person too, whomever that is. Great job.
I actually loved the sound of the rain, I love rainy, cloudy weather more than clear skies and warm temperatures. My eyes are so sensitive to light I cannot go outside without eye protection and try and do most of my work at night. Cloudy and Cold the better.
hey Kurtis. Are you alone in this company! What do you have for schools, engineering education, you know everything I see no problems at all no matter how difficult they are, Just a big CONGRATULATIONS is a joy to see you work ..💖👌
Being a retired engineer, i get so much enjoyment watching your video`s. the camera work, the explanation`s of what you are doing, I understand what you are doing, but thousands must be mesmerize d by your amazing skills. I congratulate all concerned, including the safety officer.
Dont see many skilled machinists anymore. My grandfather was one and when he passed on my grandmother sold it all off. I wish i had it all. You are a craftsman for sure
Kurtis, you are Incredibly Talented. You are both a Professional Machinist and Professional Welder. I know the level of experience required to be the best you can be. You and Karen deserve nothing but love and happiness. Very few people these days will put their money where their Mouth is! I CONGRATULATE you guys from NY. I was a K9 Officer in Upstate NY for 7+ years. Homeless is a great dog.
You are a very lucky man to have a wife who is willing to come spend time with you while your working! In a few days I will be married to my wife 37 years. On the 19th we will have been together for 38 years. She use to come stay with me after she got off work as I painted lumber handling machines that I had with other had welded up that day. That was a lifetime ago! I truly do wish you both the best in your life’s together! It truly is what you two decide to make of it! It will always be a work in process for the better or for the worse! We never know what life has in store for us... All we can do is take what we have and make the best out of it while enjoying the time you have together! I really do love your videos! It makes me think about what if I had stayed in welding and as a Machinist... I would not had been forced to take the Anthrax vaccine that has almost crippled me now... but I cannot live in the past wondering what if. None of us can! Thank you for sharing your time and experiences with us all! NoMerc
Hey mate thanks for sharing and congrats on those 38 years! Yeah we work together in the business, she has all the accounting smarts to help keep my tool spending on track haha we enjoy what we both do and is great to be building a business together. Cheers take care mate 😎👍
Thanks Terry! I reckon Carl might have stuck now, I can see in a years time new viewers will be trying to correct our long time viewers for the incorrect name use 🤣
I’m not a metals guy but am a retired remodeling contractor. I stumbled on your videos a while ago and am always fascinated and so impressed by what you do and your knowledge. I have a friend who teaches metals at the local university and I shared some of your videos with him. He has shown certain ones to his students to illustrate technique and process. Thanks for sharing.
Couple years ago a friend of the family had to part with their 6+ year old female American bulldog. We’ve never had one of these and didn’t know anything about them. It took her a couple of weeks to settle in, and I have to say this is the sweetest, tolerant,best tempered, loving animal I have ever known. An absolute gem of a pet and companion. When I see Homey, he has the same warmth and gentleness and happiness truly a terrific pet.
Добрый день. Очень приятно видеть как Вы относитесь к своей работе. Очень приятно видеть творческий подход к решению задачи. Очень хочется чтобы профессионализм не перерос в обыденность.
It is a pleasure watching your videos. Looking at some of the comments from the past apparently, I am a new comer. Kurtis I am blown away how good you are at your craft. Your customers are very lucky to have a great service provider in there area.
Many of us as subscribes, except those in the trade, can't honestly appreciate the skill involved in the precision required when working with steel. whereas timber is forgiving, steel is not. Kurtis, your skill and accuracy is beyond comprehension, it can't be learned in
Hey Kevin! Thanks for the awesome comment appreciate the support. I have to agree with the timber, having built an office out of old doors and it's held up nicely, very forgiving haha. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Not just a very interesting engineering video channel, but also a priceless way to get used to the aussie accent. Thank you for your videos. Greetings from Moscow.
What is really nice is that I don't have to watch 15 minutes of explaining the setup and truing, and then closeups of the micrometer showing that you are within 0.0002 of your target. Other Machinist channels could learn a lot about how to present videos by watching your channel. Yours is the best - by far.
Another learning experience for me. From watching your videos, if i had it to do over, i'd have to put machinist on my list of most interesting trades to learn. Thnx again Kurtis! Keep those ChIPs Flying Carl! Happy Easter to you & the family, God Bless!
Man I don’t even know at what point I got lost, but you’re literally tearing apart something I thought couldn’t be torn apart, yet is so incredible and can’t wait to see the final result, I even doubt you’re gonna take it to its original shape.
No day is complete without the masterful video work of Karen, Homeless tail wags and Kurtis trying to say anything without cracking himself up. It is like he has tourettes sometimes. Love the channel and the exceptional craftsmanship.
Hey mate thanks for the ongoing support! Yeah we are stoked with how the channel is doing, so many awesome viewers we enjoy reading the comments each week. Cheers 😎👍
In the "bloopers " it looked like you were about to launch that end of the tube body, you'll have to get a " retriever " dogs, cause I don't think that your little dog would be able to bring it back 👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆😆
You guys are pretty much magicians to me. I have been fascinated by metal working since i was a boy. My uncle was aboard the USS Lexington CV-2 during WW2. He was an engineer/ engine-man I felt I was so blest to have him still around and of my many talks with him he used to tell me when something broke we did bot have the ability to pull into a parts store and retrieve another. No we either fixed the broken piece or we made another. He was amazing on a lathe. I would sit mesmerized as I do you guys. Taking a rusted piece of steel and turn it into whatever you wanted or needed. Good job! A joy to watch you work
As a machinist for over 50 years, I really appreciate seeing complex machining solutions such as this on large parts. I am curious that you never turned on the coolant until the boring of the new cylinder? Do you normally machine dry?
"A meter-long lathe bed is plenty", they said. Looking at your meter-long boring bar, I now know they were lying. Thanks for sharing your time in the shop with us!
I work in IT, crap at any DIY, never even changed a tyre but i love your vids and your expertise, knowledge and professionalism. Love how you mix your videos up and the bloopers are great. Keep up the excellent work
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I'm not sure my late mother-in-law ever actually knew what my given name was. Whenever she spoke to me it was "Hey asshole"...
@@markfryer9880 Your highness or some other form of regal address. It was one of those cases where discretion was the bettor part of valor. I'm no rocket surgeon but I'm not a complete dumbass either.
Dude. Your doggo hasn't got his safety vest on! Also, would love to see a rundown of all the big honkin machines and what they do. Thoughts for the future.
I said it before and I will say it again, , , Those tailstock chucks are brilliant ! That is one interesting cylinder. The only one I have ever seen. Nice work Kurtis. I eagerly await part 2 my friend.
Hey mate thanks for watching good to see your comment. Yeah the Apron cylinder on the 631 and 651 Scrapers are the only cylinders designed that way. Clever engineering. Have a good week mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I worked on a couple belly scrapers but can't remember if they were the single or double power units (front and back). Old age eh, LOL. Keep on keeping on bud !
Do you mind explaining the cost savings of doing a complete rebuild on a cylinder like this vs. buying new? Or do you generally do rebuilds only when new parts are no longer available?
Hey mate for most of our work we can usually do about half the price or better than a new one, most often the parts are not in stock and will be about 3 month wait as well.
You sir are an artisan. I'm not a machinist but your skill and knowledge are spot on. I am fascinated with watching your work and skill. You take an otherwise damaged piece of junk and rejuvenate it into something beautiful and amazing. Cheers from mid West US. I Look forward to more videos.
Best 36 minutes of watching on TH-cam. Thank you Curtis with a k. And thank you also for your detailed explanation of what you're doing oh, that is what makes it worth watching.
Having now watched a goodly number of your videos it never ceases to amaze me how, whatever the piece of equipment, you know where to position the strop on the overhead gantry hoist. Likewise, when setting up a piece in the four jaw chuck, just a tap or two to bring it back to an acceptable runout. Not something that can be taught but is learnt through experience. 👍

Right!
Totally! Also the safety officer is adorable.

What is really nice is that I don't have to watch 15 minutes of explaining the setup and truing, and then closeups of the micrometer showing that you are within 0.0002 of your target. Other Machinist channels could learn a lot about how to present videos by watching your channel. Yours is the best - by far.
Amazing job, as always! Your talent is impressive! Best regards from Sweden.
Hey Paul cheers mate thanks for the comment 😎👍
Don’t know what I like better, the actual machining or the out takes at the end 🤣
That's a hard one, I would go with the out takes haha
Another learning experience for me. From watching your videos, if i had it to do over, i'd have to put machinist on my list of most interesting trades to learn.
Thnx again Kurtis! Keep those ChIPs Flying Carl!
Happy Easter to you & the family,
God Bless!
Hey mate thanks for watching glad you enjoy it. Have a great Easter weekend. Cheers 😎👍
Man I don’t even know at what point I got lost, but you’re literally tearing apart something I thought couldn’t be torn apart, yet is so incredible and can’t wait to see the final result, I even doubt you’re gonna take it to its original shape.
No day is complete without the masterful video work of Karen, Homeless tail wags and Kurtis trying to say anything without cracking himself up. It is like he has tourettes sometimes. Love the channel and the exceptional craftsmanship.
Oh oh, it looks like it didn't want to slip in.
Now I need to wait for the climax in part 2.
I can't wait. 😉
🤣🤣🤣 #Machinistporn
That's what she said, sorry lol
Your doing really well mate. It’s awesome to see how your channel is growing! You will have 1 million subs in no time
Hey mate thanks for the ongoing support! Yeah we are stoked with how the channel is doing, so many awesome viewers we enjoy reading the comments each week. Cheers 😎👍
In the "bloopers " it looked like you were about to launch that end of the tube body, you'll have to get a " retriever " dogs, cause I don't think that your little dog would be able to bring it back 👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆😆
I am a fleet diesel mechanic and this video just made me realise my skills are minimal. This is a great skill and looks like it took years to learn.
You guys are pretty much magicians to me. I have been fascinated by metal working since i was a boy. My uncle was aboard the USS Lexington CV-2 during WW2. He was an engineer/ engine-man I felt I was so blest to have him still around and of my many talks with him he used to tell me when something broke we did bot have the ability to pull into a parts store and retrieve another. No we either fixed the broken piece or we made another. He was amazing on a lathe. I would sit mesmerized as I do you guys. Taking a rusted piece of steel and turn it into whatever you wanted or needed. Good job! A joy to watch you work
Greetings from One hot desert to another (Arizona).
Awesome thanks for watching over there mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Yes, that rain looked quite lovely! Nearly hit 100*F the other day, not even May yet!
Man you have some serious skills. The mig welding alone is scary stuff.
Hey mate cheers thanks for watching 😎👍
Another top video Carl 👌🏻
🤣🤣🤣 thanks mate
The men who keep the industrialized world moving. Kudos !!
I think you did all this excellent work so you wouldn't have to listen to the deafening rain.
Great job guy's , my bulldog hates the rain to one rumble of thunder and she gone.lol
Great video.
The toughest looking dogs are usually the biggest babies 🤣 thanks for watching mate
As a machinist for over 50 years, I really appreciate seeing complex machining solutions such as this on large parts.
I am curious that you never turned on the coolant until the boring of the new cylinder? Do you normally machine dry?
Yeah, I never saw our safety officer on site when it's raining , he also was hiding behind his desk 😁
"A meter-long lathe bed is plenty", they said. Looking at your meter-long boring bar, I now know they were lying. Thanks for sharing your time in the shop with us!
I work in IT, crap at any DIY, never even changed a tyre but i love your vids and your expertise, knowledge and professionalism. Love how you mix your videos up and the bloopers are great. Keep up the excellent work
Hey Anthony thanks for watching mate and the great comment glad you're enjoying it! 😎👍
Carl is Kurtis alter ego 😂🤣😂 G'day mates great video and you two have a happy Easter
I think it's stuck now hahaa fuck thanks mate you have a good one too
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 🍻👍
Carl Is the evil one or the one who breaks aall the cilinders 🤣🤣🤣
Carl is Kurtis that doesn't make bloopers :D
@@haydenc2742
Carl is the evil one making him swear.
Who agrees, we all call Kurtis, Carl from now on? Oh and Mrs Carl. 😁
Kurtis doesn't agree 😂😂😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Sorry Carl.... 😉
@@steviebee1989 OI! His nameis KURTIS...... get it right for fuck sake!
If sent free beer, call me anything you want.
За то жена всё понимает!
Had the same thing happen to me, plumber at work called me Carl for 10yrs before he found out my name was Kurt
hahaaa shit yeah not sure how that works but I've had people call me that a few times 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I'm not sure my late mother-in-law ever actually knew what my given name was. Whenever she spoke to me it was "Hey asshole"...
@@mikepelelo5657 Well, what did you call her in reply?
@@markfryer9880 Your highness or some other form of regal address. It was one of those cases where discretion was the bettor part of valor. I'm no rocket surgeon but I'm not a complete dumbass either.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering After watching your bloopers I've got a sneaking suspicion of why you might have been called Carl :P
Kurtis, you are a master at your craft. Kudos to such precision and diligence.
For some if us, if we are ever lucky enough to get to Australia, your shop is the first thing we'd like to see. Thanks for these videos.
Happy Easter from Poland to Your family and of course to Security officer also
"Wesołych Świąt Wielkanocnych"
That's awesome thanks mate! Happy Easter to you and yours 😎👍
Dude. Your doggo hasn't got his safety vest on! Also, would love to see a rundown of all the big honkin machines and what they do. Thoughts for the future.
Yeah he was being a slack safety officer that day. For sure mate have got a machinery tour on the to do list!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I'd like to see that, shop looks well equipped.
Easy to loose track of insults with box of free beer in front of you 🍻
For some reason I couldn’t stop watching this. Great work mate. Well done👍🏼
I said it before and I will say it again, , , Those tailstock chucks are brilliant ! That is one interesting cylinder. The only one I have ever seen. Nice work Kurtis. I eagerly await part 2 my friend.
Hey mate thanks for watching good to see your comment. Yeah the Apron cylinder on the 631 and 651 Scrapers are the only cylinders designed that way. Clever engineering. Have a good week mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I worked on a couple belly scrapers but can't remember if they were the single or double power units (front and back). Old age eh, LOL. Keep on keeping on bud !
A cold beer, a comfy chair and CEE. All set 🍺🍺
Sounds great!
You know your Aussie when, every second word is Fuck 😂😂😂 love the videos!
Fucken oath mate 😂😂😂
Also TH-cam now knows and no longer puts our viewers comments with "fuck" into the review
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I think TH-cam understands that Aussies love that word a lot haha
U-TuBe AI recognizes the word 'FUCK' as a good word. Dammit I typed it out 💩
You should visit us here in Ireland 🙄😬
Do you mind explaining the cost savings of doing a complete rebuild on a cylinder like this vs. buying new? Or do you generally do rebuilds only when new parts are no longer available?
Hey mate for most of our work we can usually do about half the price or better than a new one, most often the parts are not in stock and will be about 3 month wait as well.
You sir are an artisan. I'm not a machinist but your skill and knowledge are spot on. I am fascinated with watching your work and skill. You take an otherwise damaged piece of junk and rejuvenate it into something beautiful and amazing. Cheers from mid West US. I Look forward to more videos.
You deserve the beer & thanks to whoever sent it. I love watching four work, Kurtis!
Hey mate! Appreciate it and for the ongoing support we notice!
Guys! Next new year's eve, you have to publish a compilation video of EVERY "Fuck!" Kurtis has said this year! That would be hilarious!
Doesn't TH-cam have a 12hour limit on how a long a video can be, tho? 😁
We're thinking maybe a mid year compilation haha 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering maybe do a compilation of every instance the doggy is in a video each month as well.
I would love that, but it's going to be about 11 months long. Lol.
This man bangs it out of the park like the Houston Astros chasing after the world series
Thanks for watching mate 😎👊💥
The Astros weren't that great
Taggart, what's baseball?🤔
Lucky dude to have your wife spend so much time with you at work
She agrees 😂👍
Best 36 minutes of watching on TH-cam. Thank you Curtis with a k. And thank you also for your detailed explanation of what you're doing oh, that is what makes it worth watching.
Glad you enjoyed it Dave! Have a good one 😎👍
Having now watched a goodly number of your videos it never ceases to amaze me how, whatever the piece of equipment, you know where to position the strop on the overhead gantry hoist. Likewise, when setting up a piece in the four jaw chuck, just a tap or two to bring it back to an acceptable runout. Not something that can be taught but is learnt through experience. 👍
