- The last couple weeks leading up to Labor day, fill the shop with panics and keeping a cool head help Getter Done! Walking the Talk sharing a few other parts of propulsion components that usually get banged up as well as the shaft when the rocks come up from the ocean floor and hit your boat! ;{)-------
Hey, Kieth you owe me a new pair of underpants after that shaft went on your press at 11:48 lol. Nice video mate.
This man teaches me something every time I spend my time with his videos....Thank you sir! Stay alive and kicking for as long as you can.... You are respected and admired.....You could get payed doing this kind of work in a school of some kind but you're teaching dummies like me for free.....Something to admire about that.
Nice video, Keith.
Nice to see the progression of the job, not just the individual tasks.
They pay for the getter done, not the pictures.
Great getter done.
Thanks,
John
I always flinch when something releases from the pressure even when I know it's coming. I love your videos and am amazed at your shop and how you have used the space you have.
Keith, thanks for being the student as well as the teacher in your salty classroom!! Always a pleasure to follow your thought process.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS. GREAT JOB KEITH, THANKS FOR THE TIME AND THE EDUCATION.
Best episode ever. So many creative solutions. The hydraulic palm straightening was brilliant!!!! Thanks Keith!
I absolutely love these videos and your ability to think on your feet the way you do and how capable your shop is for how unbelievably small it is. Its just inspiring!
Thanks Keith!
I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and enjoy them very much. I don't have need of marine application, but always learn something when I watch. Thank you.
i gotta say that is one of the best and most informative videos i have seen from you i am still going back and watching you other posts from years ago and this tops them so far Thank you Sir
Each time I watch your videos there is always something new I learn, your videos sometimes are pieced but always fun to watch.
Again thank-you and keep them coming.
Looks like I could have come over to help while your just hanging out! Lots of good content and info here Keith. Seeing your jigs to help straighten the shafts and struts were great. I loved at the end your comment about mig welding not penetrating as much as stick. I have argued that with people for years now. 7018 for the win!
Great ingenuity Keith. A real pleasure to watch a great craftsmen at work. Thanks.
This just may be one of your best video's to date, entertaining and informative .
Another resurrection brought back from the brink of being thrown in the furnace!
Bringing great value to the customer. Those struts new, have got to worth a pretty penny.
Your marine acumen and highly regarded reputation, just went up another notch Keith. Cheers.
That's my favorite kind of work. Straightening out a mangled, twisted crash incident into something useable again. That hydraulic press is a beauty. One of these days I'm gonna have to build me something like it. I love the the size of the table and the clearance you have to be able to manipulate around the tower struts. Sweet.
Any metal worker would dam near die to have a shop like that out back of home.I am sure it helps his noggin rest and visit jobs into the eve when needed.
Awesome job Keith. I love watching you resolve the issues that look unsolvable. Your skills are mad, crazy amazing! Thanks for taking the time to share your work. I enjoy all your videos and have learned a lot along the way. Thanks again!!
Keith,
I love watching your video's. I always learn something, and usually have a great laugh too.
Thanks for all you do. Gary - 73 year old home shop machinist.
That jig is superb...inspired! Major work going on here...several examples of 'pucker factor' :)
One heck of a great video.
Ya gots to respect that kapow.Drawers by the dozen eh.
I love your out of the box approach you took to straightening these parts, especially that you showed the failures and how you are overcoming them. All to often we see polished youtube videos where it appears the solution worked off the bat as they edit out the failure and the work that went into engineering solutions to get to the final stage. Well Done.
Really appreciate the honesty. NOTHING Ever goes as first planned when it comes to reworking others faults.
Great job...you have a close attention to detail and it is fun to watch and listen to you thinking your way through a repair. Nice...
Wow! I've been a long time viewer, and this is one of your best. From kinetic hydraulic press jumping to welding and plasma cutting, and your dry stand-up wit, it was a blast, stem to stern. Keith, you're a gem!
This is Keith's specialty. He is arguably the best in the country at this.
That was an excellent video, Kieth! I always enjoy watching what you do, but this one was exceptional. Thank you for taking the time to put all of this together and share it with us!
Regards,
Jon
So cool to see your daily jobs, and how well you perform. Congratulations and thank you for showing / teaching us
Excellent video, thanks for sharing your knowledge and letting us see your failures and what you do to correct them. Thanks again for going to all the trouble you do to show us viewers how to "getter done". JD/Missouri
I really enjoy the longer vids...especially when it has a bit of everything in. Thanks for the great content!
dont really know how anyone could not like this keith well presented again and informative great stuff
"I think you're gonna need a bigger press" Great video as always Keith!
What a super show. That is some heavy "bumping"! Thanks Keith; for sharing a lifetime of experience of Craftman's level trade skills/knowledge.... all wrapped up in one show.
"Abom, i need help" snorted my drink. Ah, you guys are great, great people.
Keith, You are the "Shafting Master" LOL, I enjoyed the video.
keith i am glad you are back. i have missed your videos. i hope your family life has smoothed out as you said it has been rough. looking forward to more videos. you and abom are my favorite machinests on youtube. thanks for hard work on the video you do. they are very entertaining and resourceful. i enjoy them very much.
Excellent tutorial type video Keith. We learn something new every time we watch your and other TH-cam machinist's video's.regards from the UK
Ok, ok, I'm impressed already. You don't have to outdo yourself every time you make a video. Great stuff. Video very well made and presented! Wow! So nice to see you at work.
Excellent video. Thanks for the lesson on building devices to apply pressure in required areas. Most informing.
Lots of good work in there Keith .........Happy labor day.
One has to become one with the metal! May the force be with you!
Outstanding video and work as always.
Your "rocks", IE jigs for straightening are works of genius and artist at the same time.
"Aw, shit! I'm going to need a longer indicator." Classic words spoken shortly after the invention of the dial indicator. Good work, Keith.
Like your marine shafting videos the most Keith, no one on TH-cam does what you with boat dangly bits!I've been in the marine industry for 25 years or so and have learnt more from your videos on marine propulsion than from anywhere else. I've come to realise that most "experts" on the subject are just hot air and myths.
Great video Keith. NOW relax for one day, Labor Day. Thanks Fred
Another great learning experience Mr. Fenner thanks again!!
Wow, Keith! And I thought last week was rough where I work. My hat's off to you, sir!
This is a good lesson in building special jigs to work materials back to their intended shapes, Professor Fenner. Thanks.
Very nice work Keith and I like your press looks to be very well made.
Great video, Keith! Lots of action. I enjoyed the format as well. Multiple chapters of a multiple stories with the same theme with the cutaway explanation before each segment. It doesn't get much better than this. Consider using this technique more often. I really enjoyed it. That 54 min seemed like 15. Super job getting the work out on time and thanks for sharing the process with us.
Great Work, thanks for sharing, we enjoy all your work.
That's lots of boats in the water on labor day...
Nice to learn a couple of good pointers on how to get things with irregular bodies back in shape...
Just like Philippe says: looking forward to get down to the Cape... ;)
It will be here soon! ;{)-----
Interesting look at what goes on in your shop. thanks for sharing
sick as a dog laying here watching keith,Adam and kilroy thanks Keith for taking the time to make theses videos
I just love your approach to every job that you take on, awesome !!!
No one would ever fault you for "getten er done" for the customer at the expense of forgoing You Tube time, especially when "under pressure" to getter done on a deadline. Eventually you'll have a new display, Fenner's Struten Rock Garden. :-) Great stuff as usual Kieth! Appreciate everything you show us.
Keith, I continue to be amazed at how much shop/machining talent that you have. Good to see The Shop Master working, very impressive results.
At 6:10, when I had a similar project, my friends/coworkers would say "you don't have enough lead in your ass for that", and they were usually right!
At 38:42 the carpentry terminology is, "boss it's within an eighth of an inch"...as the boss walks around the corner of the house he hollers, "nail it, you can't see it on a fast horse!"..... probably need to keep that trade secret to myself so future generations can continue to do sloppy work...lol!
Thanks for the video!

Nice olio of days in the shop at a busy time of year. I bet that this is when the people who treated you well during the rest of the year get their rewards. (And vice versa.)
That hydraulic taper attachment is pretty damn impressive to be honest! This is how they got things done before computers and CNC control......Impressive to me how good it worked.... I respect old school....
Great video Keith. A lot story telling and clearly a lot of editing and recording transitions after the fact. The only constructive criticism I'd offer is that it is a privilege for you to to bring us in to your shop and share what you do and there is certainly no reason to apologize for getting the job done and taking care of your customers. Many thanks for all you share and the great way you do it.
When I watch these vids I feel like I'm still in kindergarten. Great work. Thanks.
Good to see you have plenty of work. The storm might even bring more work in.
Yeah, I was thinking that all of those boating plans will be squashed with the coming storm. Fare thee well Old Fenner!
I just love your puns, please never change
Great video and content, Keith!
Thanks for sharing
Nice work Keith!
great as always Keith, keep it up and your going to need a rock garden to put all those rocks.
I have been busy on this years contribution, i cant wait to take an other road trip to bring it to you
Cheers my friend
:~)
We are up to four boxes, just about ready for another video. Looking forward to you making the trip. ;{)-----
dang i'm going to have to step up probuction
Only four....?
If this keeps up there will be a time it's only gonna be twenty..... !!! lol
LOL. Man keith, I laughed till I cried at the start. Finding 0 and it drops 2 inches. Still chuckling about it. :)
I bet TH-cam analytics shows a high audience retention at 11:49. Awesome work Keith!
Great video and demonstrations
I love the making of tools to fix damage.
great episode Keith! made me laugh, keep up the light stuff as well!
Im one of the sorry sapps that have to remove some of these couplers in the boats, man they can be a pain in the butt to remove. It was really cool seeing you straiten out this stuff. That big boy put alot of hurt on the strut..... Its cool to see this stuff since we just send the stuff to a shop up the road. Pretty cool rockers you have man.
Dear Mr. Fenner or Hey Fenner, I do not care how long you take on videos! Just sat down and viewed this one with Cashew Chicken - thoroughly enjoyed BOTH.
Okay, I've never seen 'The Rock Won' vid. I WILL be watching it now before I go to bed here shortly, so I can see the background on it AND now the its brother jig for straightening struts. Incredible footage on the broken shafting in the coupling that the heat and the press were needed on, scary too!
kick ass video Keith,hell of a lot of work in what you do,til next time
Good video Kieth and I still love that press of yours.
always pleasure to watch and learn from best
Absolutely Loved the Beginning, Hilarious!
Just a little bit in, and already cracking up from 'I need a longer indicator!' to where ABOM TORQUE that you don't have is required!! Still watching! XDD
6:14 -- Wow, that nut is stuck. I hope that your customers appreciate how much time and effort you devote to these jobs.
You did it well , Thumbs up Keith !
I have done some work with hydraulic presses under a heavy load, and I am glad to see you work with such care around it. General caution, (not for you necessarily but the general audience), a hydraulic leak, under pressure, is very flammable...make sure your fittings and hoses are in good shape...especially if you have to put heat on the item. A hand pump hydraulic jack press isn't the type of press I am talking about.
Liked as soon as I heard "Aww shit, I'm gonna need a longer indicator!" :-)
Outstanding Keith! Engenuity.
Thanks Keith great vid as always
I`ve often wondered how you getter done on odd stuff like these ,now I know
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome !! One of these days I'm going to HAVE to build a press like yours
Stalls press, thinking holy shit i need a bigger press.
Great vid !
Keithfennering at it's best! thanks for the great video. cheers.
Keith, Your ability to hold and of fixture all manner of off the wall shapes and sizes is truly AMAZING!
Eric
looks great. thanks for your hard work.
Love the jigs........cool idea!
I'm amazed that you had time to get any video at all with that much work coming in. Really appreciate you taking the time to make and edit these alongside your day to day work, Keith. You've also got me thinking about making some new tooling rather than buying everything. What good is having cool toys if we don't use them to their potential?
Hope all is going well for you and Vanessa.

Keith, you should make a sleeve to fit over the end of the ram on your press, so that it would have a radius on end to fit over the bar on your straitening jig. That way you wouldn't have to worry about ram end slipping off jig bar under pressure when trying to straighten the shaft. Just a thought!
Mr Fenner, as always, excellent work.
I think you need a foot operated hydraulic valve, or a foot level connecting to the existing valve so no need for a third hand at times
you were totally cool as a cucumber in that slo mo!
Best one to date! You warned us that might happen. You even stated what would go flying and where it would probably land. I can see this ain't your first rodeo. Slow mo shows those heavy plates went for a ride too....... Best one yet!
Great material Keith, very imaginative pressing jigs, I used to use only blocks and vees and rounds in our 200T press, of course it was usually plate structures as well. I am looking forward to reclaiming that really ugly bent shaft, Getter done, mate!
Neat deal for straitening! From the vantage point 52:15 it sure looks like it has a twist in it yet.?.
Great video once again Keith
You were right it did hop the table, dang that was cool.
i get shafted every payday! lol nice vid keith as usual
Most excellent video.. I also liked the Abom shot... :-) The shaft finally moving was expected and with your press it was pretty dramatic.. It's amazing what you do to get stuff straight.. Thoroughly enjoyed the straightening fixtures.. I'm interested in seeing how well you can straighten the prop shaft.. IME something bent that bad work hardens at the bend and you not get it straight without creating an S.. I'm sure if anyone can do it.. You'd be at the top of the list.
