Oliver, I think your new table will be a great asset to your shop. I am 81 yrs. old and worked around machinery and equipment many years here in West Texas, but I learn a lot watching you work. You are a very skilled young man and great to watch.
Next up, I think a jib crane would be a nice addition to your shop, located within reach of your fixture table. BTW, I look forward to your latest video every week
Nice table! Never put yourself down, you don't do yourself justice it would have been a brave person to take that job on in the 1st place. Can't understand why people don't take the time to check their equipment, it saves a whole lot of money and time. Kurtis over at CEE also hates it when he gets parts that are dirty, I don't think customers realise that, you spending the time cleaning all adds to how much the job costs. 👍
Crazy, but true. I learned that sometimes it's less money to run machine into the ground then it is to interrupt production. Not always and it's case by case at best,,,,,and every time I had to call the shot on it it broke heart to see a good machine destroyed and laid up for weeks, that could have been running like new for months, if we could take it off line for 8 hours.
Double reply here. = What materiel is the table? I am an old acorn plate guy and they are pretty rough against that surface plate of yours. - (Yours cant be resistant to spatter, right?)
What a well executed 'fix' for a knackered piece. I hope the customer was 'very' pleased you saved them a fortune. A gantry crane would be a good edition to save your back. 👍
Love how your dad randomly pops up now and again .I miss mine and i know if i had my time again with him and a shop like yours we would have such a great time tinkering and repairing things . Congratz on the welding table .Maybe a new bigger lathe next? Think Those round magnetic things are for round bar holding
That was a real challenge, repairing one wheel and adapting the new different shafts to fit. But in the case where the correct new parts are no longer available, it's a case of doing what you have to do to get the job done.
A monumental achievement making what can be bought cheaply fit what you have. Ingenuity at the highest level. Respect to you. Ten out of ten. Everyone can learn from this type of thinking.
A well earned new table. Excellent repair on the wheels. Running large work reminded me of family members turning prop shafts for ships and my victorian great uncle who consulted on the original Forth Bridge; he was a naval architect/engineer. I am suprised you have not yet been asked to help with steam locomotive repair. They need people with your level of skill and thoughtfulness when handling old machinery. Thank you for posting.
I don't think the table was cracking, I couldn't see a single crack in it, as well as that I was also a bit curious, what is the average lifespan of a Literal?
Oliver, as an ol' man now, I can only remember the joy of each new tool that I added to the shop! Each one brought new learning, and opportunities, and raised my skill level a bit more. Congratulations on you continuing success. Keep the faith, keep a steady hand, and always have hope. Life is a journey, enjoy every step! PS: Your stick welding is perfect, in that any cast iron repair that is successful is a home run!
I remember cutting firewood like that about 30y ago, minus all the shielding for safety 🥴 that brought back some childhood memories. The new fixture table looks ace, hope it works well for you for many many years.
That’s another save for one of your clients! It many shops would do the type of detailed engineering modifications that you undertake to keep old stuff working. Nice add with the fabrication jig table .
Sunday and a more than 75min video, perfect start of the day Congratulations, that's an upgrade to the shop - unpacking new gadgets always comes first 😉 even before customers Those idler wheels were a challenge well dealt with in a typical Oliver style
B hell Ollie, there’s some jobs you get . Top job mate as always . Your time and professional outcome to what to many , would seem impossible. Well done 👍
Hey, Oliver. That fixture table is a beautiful piece of kit. Well done, mate. You know, we really need to work on getting you a proper shop crane and the I-beam frame materials for Christmas. I saw over a dozen times in this video alone where you sure could have used it. And now that you have a bangin' fixture table for fabrication work, you have to be able to get your workpieces over to it😁. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the rebuild. See you next week, mate. Cheers.
Great new welding table, the clamping features will cut down setting up time greatly. Grease will adequately lubricate without oil, could have plugged the grub screw and drilled into the passageway from edge face to add grease nipple. Tractor pull was fantastic.
@@snowballengineering i’m watching that episode right now. I think it’s time for an overhead crane bud. every time you pick something up heavy by hand I cringe lol hang in there.
That's a really great welding table. It looks too good to use! Hope you've got some good anti-spatter to coat it with to keep in in good condition. It's going to make fabrication jobs a lot easier.
Dang but you get some real winners dumped in your lap. This one looks like it will rival the Matbro in P.I.T.A. That was an outstanding job cleaning up that wheel. And now you got the cutting and the layout table! Time for some serious fabrication. Congrats!
That welding table is a nice piece of kit ! I'm sure you will be using it on most of your jobs. That wheel repair was a tricky one to do. I'm sure the end result will function well and please the customer. Thanks for sharing your work week. Brian from South Yorkshire.
That old gap-bed lathe of yours is really versatile. You can do things with it that you can;t do on a normal lathe. Great choice adding that to the workshop.
Stop running your work down Ollie mate , your welding is bloody good and what you get asked to fix sometimes is like the proverbial Silk purse and sows ear mate 👍 good on ya
You were almost salivating with that welding/fabrication table. Well done. Good bit of kit that has already shown its worth. Next time the farmer will clean it after today you have charged him extra (lots extra) for having to work in manure covered work. If you don't charge extra they will just keep bringing unclean stuff to you. Or like Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering he just won't accept it. or will charge full machining price for the cleaning - and who can blame him. Keep up the good work. If the customer baulks at the non-perfect O ring seat, they can go elsewhere, at elsewhere's high prices and slower turn around times.
Hi Oliver 😊, super new table, and all those fixtures will make life easier. Those idler repairs were quite a job, as always your skill and engineering ingenuity got the job done, thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
thanks for the interesting ag engineering content. after watching cutting edge engineering i keep expecting you to use a shop crane but i guess that could be another upgrade. does look like it makes life easier.
Great job for a video. Very Nice welding table glad it has simulated tines lol. Parting tools are a bit special. 🤠 Exactly the right choice to use a left and right hand turning tool.
Nice welding table Oliver, there's no feeling like new tool day! Great repair on those journals too, they looked pretty nasty at first. You sorted it with the minimum of trouble just like you always do!
Whenever I've had a circlip like that to get out. I've got them hot, so they lose their spring, then I can bend them out. But you are probably a lot better than me when it comes to gas cutting
Awesome, thank you for sharing, always a pleasure star my sunday morning with you and your project, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍great bench , congratulation 👍👍👍👍
Another piece of kit returned to service. If the lack of maintenance like we saw on this kit is common in your area, then you should have enough work to keep you gainfully employed for years to come. I've no idea if the imported idler would have held up in the small tracked tractor, but another option for future consideration would be to plasma cut out a thick wide ring for welding onto the imported idler to increase its diameter and width to match the failed idler wheels. Just an idea off the top of my head, no real idea if it would work :) Love your videos...
When people bring dirty parts in the shop for repair, we tell them our hourly rate for the repair also includes cleaning the part first. Most of the time they clean it and then return the part. 😊
Whatever it cost the farmer for the "spares" and your time pales into insignificance in comparison with having a pile of scrap iron laying in a field somewhere and with the prospects of having to buy a new machine. Great job!!!
Oliver, I don't know how you do it, but when you lift heavy objects, you need to arch your spine in the opposite direction. And the welding table is just a dream!
Could you do a part 2 with the the rest of this project in next weeks video please? I'm always amazed at what you can do with with welding...... what I can do with welding kinda looks like the inside of a pigeon cool after a couple of days without a clean up 😂
A different repair that one young man. My guess would be that those wheels are made from ductile iron. The Chinese wheels are probably cast iron. Quite a task that repair so well done.
Another fabulous job Oliver, the new table is very well thought out with the marked scales, grid lines and range of supplied accessories, it looks great too and should make your life much easier.
At college we were told about carbon as lectures said "carbon migrates to weld making in brittle" I belive he called it Buttering, Nickle won't absorb carbon, Brilliant bench. I'd be making some legs for end of those brackets. Brilliant cheers Mick.
Nickel welding rods are really good. I welded a broken cast vise back together with them and I also welded a broken cast belt adjusting arm back together. Both jobs turned out well.

Well done on the new table score Ollie. Onwards and upwards brother 👍
Nice to see you are buying new stuff for your work shop this will make your life easer in the long run
That's a cracking welding table. Must have set you back quite a few bucks. It will last you a literal lifetime.
I don't think the table was cracking, I couldn't see a single crack in it, as well as that I was also a bit curious, what is the average lifespan of a Literal?
I was curious too so looked it up. If it’s the one I think it is £6,272 ex VAT. Unsure if that includes accessories. Made in Germany I think.
He doesn't mess about are oli when it comes to tools
I had a quick look, well over £10K with VAT. That's called investing in the business.
@@billdoodson4232yes indeed. I hope Oliver got a bit of a discount for plugging the supplier and the manufacturer in his video.

1:17:02 don't worry about time, what you share is beyond awesome....... THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Glad you think so 😁
You are an exceptionally talented person. Congratulations on the new addition of an Esco table.
Nice new fixture table, Snowy! You're going to need a bigger shop soon!
Little Jasic comes in handy again. It does look like a grand farm welder.
Congratulations with your new welding table. What a great investment for making fabrication jobs easier to do.
An object lesson of the unnecessary damage caused by inadequate lubrication. Well done reconstruction in bringing it back to spec, Oliver's the man !!
Keeps us Fitters employed.
Sunday and a more than 75min video, perfect start of the day
Congratulations, that's an upgrade to the shop - unpacking new gadgets always comes first 😉 even before customers
Those idler wheels were a challenge well dealt with in a typical Oliver style
The new table looks great 👍👍👍👍👍.
You have done a great machineing job on that wheel ...
Just be careful of you back lifting those heavy items ..
Given there were 4 holes in that disc, I think I'd have stuck the chuck jaws in there for better stability / rigidity... 🤔
Nice vid ! 🤗
😎👍☘🍻
I did say why I couldn’t do that 😉
@@snowballengineering sorry man, I musta missed it I was having me dinner as I was watchin and my priorities were temporarily elsewhere ! 😋😅
😎👍☘🍻
Morning Oliver
Great and very interesting job as ever Sunday great video look forward to next week Love the new table to
Cheers ❤
B hell Ollie, there’s some jobs you get . Top job mate as always . Your time and professional outcome to what to many , would seem impossible. Well done 👍
Nice table, it looks heavy. Nice to see you doing well. Your abilities are paying off love your Chanel and content
Measurements on the side of the welding table, but stil use the tape measure to set up the squares😅. Interesting video once again! Nice job!
They only go to 100mm then start again. Easier to use tape measure 🤣

Excellent job on the wheel and the new table looks just the job well done great to see you are progressing well thanks.
olly have no worries about your videos you could plate saw dust and i think we would all still watch um another great video
That fab table is a great addition to your operation! Hard work equals nice upgrades for sure. 👍🏻
43:45 a beauty! Thank for effort and time spent to film and share with us youe work!
Stop running your work down Ollie mate , your welding is bloody good and what you get asked to fix sometimes is like the proverbial Silk purse and sows ear mate 👍 good on ya
Well done on the new table, costly but worth it
Nice table. Whole new level of fabrication.
Well done
Nice table Ollie, and another great vid , cheers 👍
So many classic tractors on your farm! please give us a tour around🙏
17 I think
Purchase the table and use it straight away. One can say it was a smart purchase. Well done
You were almost salivating with that welding/fabrication table. Well done. Good bit of kit that has already shown its worth.

I'm guessing the customer would be buying a new tractor if Oliver hadn't repaired it. Amazing ingenuity in adapting and repairing those parts.
That is so cool that your lathe can remove part of the bed.
Your Dad is a boss and a workaholic!
love the new fabrication table , very nice
Awesome video great work. Thank you, Oliver
At least it looks warmer in your shop now, the last couple vids were you working in the cold, cheers
Hi Oliver. Nice new shinny fixture table. Soooooo good! Back to the welding. Cheers

Awesome stuff! So excited to see your new table earn it's keep. Loved that little tracked tractor too.
Great job for a video. Very Nice welding table glad it has simulated tines lol.
Parting tools are a bit special. 🤠
Exactly the right choice to use a left and right hand turning tool.
great show. thanks for your time again. see you next week.
Congrats on the new table!! That thing is awesome. I bet you are pumped to get to use it finally... Great work man, you deserve it.
Nice welding table Oliver, there's no feeling like new tool day! Great repair on those journals too, they looked pretty nasty at first. You sorted it with the minimum of trouble just like you always do!

Yes.
My boss showed me that idea when doing rear wheel bearings on Peugeots.
Those little circlips are a dog to get out otherwise
@pyromaniac354 it was a 306 I was doing when i got told about it
That fixture table is quite something, very handy, well done and thank you.

You the man Snowy. Congrats again on your new table. Can’t wait to see all your fab jobs coming up.
Interesting how the parent metal can affect the weld. Never realised that.
An amazing job Oliver considering what you had to work with. Your Fixture Table is a great piece kit too, you will find many uses for that.
Congratulations on the new table. That was kind of a pain the azz job😂😂😂. Great job
When people bring dirty parts in the shop for repair, we tell them our hourly rate for the repair also includes cleaning the part first. Most of the time they clean it and then return the part. 😊

Wow thats a great welding table I bet it cost more than your forklift and its not height adjustable old is gold !!
nifty welding table you got there . sell your old one get some money back well done on the wheels
Oly thats was a really tough job considering the facilities you have. Well done. Congratulations on the new fabrication table.
Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Good Job ❤❤❤❤❤
That's a fantastic table, great to see you investing in yourself.
I might’ve cut the hub out of both and swapped them! You could use an overhead crane too!
Nickel welding rods are really good. I welded a broken cast vise back together with them and I also welded a broken cast belt adjusting arm back together. Both jobs turned out well.
Another job well done. Love the new welding table.
i am very impressed how you surgically removed that clip without damaging anything else
1,397 👍's up SBE thank you for sharing 🤗
