Incredible repair. Way bigger than anything I have ever done! Nice job man.
Thanks Issac, I have complete faith you could do it if it came your way brother. I love your relaxed methodical outlook on jobs, you remind me of every great old boy I learned from👍🏻👍🏻
Patience. Stay safe live long! Good to hear from you 👍🏻👍🏻
Can we all give this welder some credit for fantastic editing! The time-lapse/music sequences were mesmerizing.
What amazes me most with this man is not just his welding skills and his knowledge of strengths and structure but also that he has the ability to clearly explain what he is doing and why he is doing it. Great work my friend. He always explains his thinking throughout the process so others learn not just how to do the job but also how to THINK about it. Once again, AMAZING, keep up the good work.
Comfortable in his skills, and with them. Stuff of legend. Maker of new worlds.
This repair has to be one of the most amazing ones I've had the pleasure of watching. As a fellow repair welder, my hat's off to you, sir. Job well done
Congrats on the 500 videos, and that's some amazing heavy meatalwork there!
I just binged all 3 videos of this project. Inspiring work! This made me miss my younger days as a millwright. Never had a task quite this large, but I was nonetheless taken back to some of my own moments of triumph. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Allistair - loving your content. I live in BC- Canada and own a shop with some waterjets, some cncs and other fab equipment. I also design and build custom machinery for many industries. Your content is superb and right up my ally. I love seeing the heavy steel, I get excited anytime we are cutting anything over 100mm thick on the waterjets. That horizontal boring machine in your shop is a thing of beauty, an awesome piece of engineering built to last. I love to see your enthusiasm for all aspects of the job and showing the whole project from broken beginning to operational end is very satisfying. Keep up the good work!!
yo what area of BC?? I'm in the Fraser valley area :) i worked in mission for a bit.
My shop is in Langley @@joshualau7982
I really like the way you wear your safety gear during production. It really helps train young welders proper procedures.
Bravo on a well done HUGE project.
Love this channel. Congratulations on 500 video. Brilliant seeing heavy engineering. For some reason I can just watch people welding for hours
Big stuff proper engineering apprenticeships served and generations of knowledge passed on. So many parts of the UK have lost this ability. This is what the Industrial Revolution was about. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Fantastic skills demonstrated.
I liked the use of the angle iron as a guide for the cutting. I cant believe I'd never seen that used. I see my Texas friend weighed in on your work also. He covers the south, I "cover" the Midwest in Illinois and our UTube friend Gregg "OnFireWelding"s got the west coast covered. You could spend quite a "holiday" just visiting us. I could get you a tour of the CAT Decatur Plant where the 797 "super" truck is fabed. Nine monster steel castings to form the frame.
I do believe you welded the two left top blocks at least twice or ????
An amazing process. I watched another of a young man who built-"rebuilt" a jaw crusher a few months ago. I think it was for his personal property project.
I love the fixin' community on TH-cam. All of you guys are a pleasure to watch. Happy to be a viewer of a great majority of those great channels you mentioned.
I’m 75 and was a pipe welder as a young man. I enjoy a day when I just had my head down burning wire (stick). The day went fast. I had to add more to my comment after seeing it run wow !! Great job a real craftsman.
I REALLY LIKE THE MACHINING CONTENT,THANK you
I cannot think of another person on all of TH-cam who burns more wire than you. Thanks for the content and greetings from the NJ Bayshore. On Fire Welding is doing a nice job as well.
Great video as always, it is amazing how it holds together long term when in operation with all the vibrations and loads on the components, You have completed an outstanding job there. Just shows how important Heat Treatment is to the long term durability of the equipment.
Thanks!
As an operator I can't thank you enough for taking pride in your work. The job quality from people like you is more noticable and appreciated then you know. Someone like you makes the difference in my day. Thank you.
I can't even believe that something large and extremely demanding would be able to be welded back to working condition again. And equally so, I can't begin to imagine the massive loud noise in that building while it is running. Thumbs Up sir for a great series and seeing how you put it back together.
When I was working we’d have called you a genuine old boy.
Over my years in heavy engineering I’ve worked among some wonderful old tradesmen & learnt a lot if they found you willing, as you obviously were Alastair. Nothing better than a willing apprentice in my book.
Never made a mistake, never done a job.
I use to ponder sometimes when a thing became ‘ beyond economic repair?’ BER.
Never ceases to amaze me what can be done. ££££?
An old boss gave me two pointers, lol.
‘ I want reasons why you can not reasons why you can’t & there are no problems only solutions!’ Always stood me in good stead when someone said; ‘ can you just?’
I’d love to see a cordless flux cored mig set up, that’d be something, lol.
Made me chuckle!
Imagine stick welding that with 7018’s & keeping the packets. lol.
Keep up the good work, I don’t miss the grinding one bit, so fully appreciate your achievements.
Thanks for reviving good memories as a fitter of my years in marine engineering & the ol steam work. Hard & heavy but satisfying.👍
This is one massive jaw!! You are getting to be a legend here on TH-cam as far as I am concerned!! Attaboy for 500! Ran crushers for years what a soothing Zen sound and rhythm!
Congratulations on 500 videos from the middle of the US. Great work - your editing has evolved over that period as well. Hope you keep bringing us incredible videos of monumental repairs and work.
Good job on 500. I love these major welding jobs you get into.
Thanks guy. really liked the vids. I started in the NAVY as a welder retired then worked at PEARL HARBOR 28 years. Welding everything, even bicycle frames to submarine hulls. As you mentioned in one of your vids your elbows. I know what you are saying, knees, lower back ect. you know but the satisfaction I got from doing something that very few people on this earth can do was something. Now it really hurts so much that are trade and trades really is not passed on to young men or even women for the future. Just as Electricians, Plumbers, Machinists we are in a bad place. Thanks Again God Bless
I always love watching your large repair projects like this, partly just in case I end up doing something similar but also so I can sit back and say "at least I didn't have to do THAT." Anything and everything with respect to the welding and machining, planning process, etc... is more than welcome in my book.
So glad you got to go see your work in action, for me there's always a feeling of pride and accomplishment when I see my work installed and operating. The operators were totally cool as well for going out of their way to give you the shots they did.
Epic shots at the end! I also enjoyed the big ass horizontal boring machine!!
My dad used to work at the front gate of a metal fabricating facility. They did plasma cutting and welding things like railroad bridge sections. Now I know what those empty black plastic reels he kept bringing home were from! We would use them to prop up things off the ground. Enjoyed all three videos and though I will never weld anything as heavy duty as that (amateur here) it is so nice to see all these bits of knowledge put to practical use in one job. Thanks for sharing!
Great job! That's an amazing piece of work and great to see the machine in action again too. Thanks for showing us the large borer too. I'd love a company history video with some focus on the machines in your machine shop. There's very obviously a story behind some of that kit.
Absolutely phenomenal series, thank you so much! Thanks for taking us on the journey and all the extra footage! Keep up the great work, both in the amazing work that you do and in documenting it for others to see!
Im a new new NEW newbie, in a way this puts me at ease about my future cause its like, once you see what the actually hard stuff looks like it puts into perspective all the “tough stuff” Ive done and makes it seem so much simpler and easy
Not only was this a phenomenal repair that many would have walked away from ,he actually made it stronger and better than new at the same time ,pure genius WELL DONE M8 HATS OFF TO YOU 1st thing i have watched u repair on here im now subscribed and hooked!! Looking forward to your next project 😊
Top-tier, thank you for posting!
Thanks for sharing all this!!! Inclusive your thinking, doubting, checking, explaining,... And what a beautiful result!!!
Thanks for taking us along! What a job! Great to see the work in action!
Hi Allistair
Thank you for taking the time to record, edit, explain and post these videos.
Amazing work....
What a really good series these three videos were, its great to see the quality of work and skill you lads have. Keep them coming.
Simply amazing. An awesome team to turn out this size of critical works. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for showing it at work. It makes the welding work you did way more impressive!
Watched and enjoyed every minute of this series! Outstanding work! Thankful for the opportunity to watch your skill and determination in action.
Congrats on the 500 mate. Just reading the comments is all you need to hear. Can’t say I’ve ever seen so much positivity for one man. You deserve it. Waiting for the next one👍
Well done you yet again , what a trades person you are , an ambassador you are to your firm
Thank you
Pete 😊
Good to see you shouting out for welder fabber, it’s got the potential to be a massive channel.
Brilliant. So good to see the repaired completed and back to work. Your list of stuff to put on videos all sounds great. Keep them coming. I’m a farmer and also worked at an oil terminal for 30 years, so wide interests.
Very impressive repair job. Nice work! Thanks for posting this series, it was quite interesting to watch. Seeing it at work at the end was very cool.
Love the vids I used to work for Press Construction and Babcock many years ago. This is how I remember workshops like these -- mangy LOL I did watch nearly all of the three videos but I have not worked out what that was that you were repairing. Remember the preheating used to do my head in. I was a fitter not welder but enjoyed that part of my life. I am 69 now but regards the repair not a lot changed really is there in last 30 odd years has there . Congrats on your 500 vids. EDIT Hell sorry I jumped in before the vid was finished must remember to watch ALL the vid to the end its a stone crusher 😄
Great to see someone that can repair things of that scale.
Matey for various reasons I'm 38 years old and missed out on the computer diagnostics with regards to diesel fitting, however I learnt from my dad old school ways and it's not massive money but I'm happy with 40k a year and too my own surprise people are so desperate because even the basic engineering slash mechanics knowledge isn't there. No way near what you do but I've told my dad at 80 years old and we will be sitting down with a drink to watch theese 3 videos xmas day. And he will be in tears saying 'at least somebody still knows this shit!' . He was born in a war. You are an insperation to myself at 38. You are a final belief in my 80 year old man. Lots of love from Manchester people xxx
Thanks Brian, appreciate it bud. Hope you have a super Christmas with your old man
Thank you much very dearly for the reply. My 80 year dad will much appreciate it as we watch on Xmas. Certain men you bring to tears because of love of industry and seeing is believing some people that have not gone to university still hold massive weight on there shoulders purley because they know the job. I can't stress enough how much of inspiration you are to men that almost 3 generations apart. Wish all of God's best blessing xx
Brian, it's guys like us that often have to create a solution and carry out the work to fix university educated engineering mistakes! 👍🏻
Do you want a couple of apprentices? My dad shits himself from time to time but nothing a good welding gimp suit cannot contain. Thank you again you are gentleman held in high respect in our house. I shall contact again in comments on the next massive project looking forward to the next big project video. You look after yourself big weight on your shoulders. Take care xx
You must have felt immense pride and satisfaction looking into that crusher working knowing the fantastic effort you put in! Awesome!
A very challenging problem to put it mildly , the shear size and weight alone made it seem impossible . Getting information on the best way forward was brilliant and correct , the shear mental battle of taking on this project is truly exceptional . Many would have said no , but you have proved it can be done . A small tip the wire feeder , the Brass bushes in the rotating gear are to soft , try getting them machined out and re bushed with a material like Phosphor Bronze they will last a lot longer .
Amazing battle Alistair, you won! Absolute beast of a job, the size of the jaw, the heat, endless prep and welding. Thanks for sharing your story
Totally terrific. Thank you.
There can't be many companies with the abilities that your own has - it's specialised stuff and very impressive to see.
The mention of a hot crusher from a days work: I blagged an opencast site visit and took my young son along. Staff fussed over him and made the day awesome for us. At one point, they stopped a huge face shovel for us so that I could get his photo taken stood in front of the bucket. The manager warned him not to touch the bucket as it would be hot from extracting rock for the dump trucks.
Decision-making and work for grown-ups from clients to engineers all round. Many thanks for sharing.
This showed how everyone in there on specialty has to contribute to finish a project. Hearing you describe what you go through in study prep and execution then projecting that to everyone in your shop demonstrates the power of your shop and the respect you share for a project to be completed.
Absolutely amazing!!
Anyone watching this while not subscribed should be ashamed of them selves. Here, thanks to Alistair, we have witnessed very heavy machinery repair showing what it takes to keep the world turning. Who would know what it takes to execute this without Al bothering to set cameras and kindly explain the black art of his profession. Thank you Alister, that was epic.
Congratulations on the 500 videos! Thanks for taking us with you through the project. Another epic job, and another epic set of videos. You keep knocking it out of the park.
During my career I always just pushed electrons for a living. And that mostly at a desk in an air conditioned office. Seeing these welding snd machining videos is an absolutely fascinating glimpse into a much rougher tougher job than I have ever experienced. Many thanks for the sharing and educating that you do!!!
Honestly this series is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, its mind boggling how it all went together and what the end result has to endure. Excellent work my friend!! You have my respect!
Congratulations on a fantastic job done.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.You definitely have a ton of skill, experience, and patience. I have years of experience using and feeding those machines in the 70's and 80's, which led me into repair and maintenance. Carry on, please; I love your style and videos.
Congratulations on the 500th.
I don't think there would be more than a handful of engineering welders that could fix that piece in the world. Well done Alistair seeing that machine going again would have been wonderful.
Thank you so much for showing this, it was amazing! Love seeing the rock crushes and your work holding up 3m later!
I would describe your welding efforts on thuis project as superhuman. Amazing project!
Amazing fact that you are respected worldwide young Alistair mate, and Indeed your skills show us all this fact. I wish you well, and look forwards to your next 500th video. I have machined big stuff on big VTL`s and ended up on a 5 axis CNC machine but not ever done huge welding jobs that you proudly show us all. I once owned an early Diesel Discovery so my small welding skills kept that going for 10 years as daily driver. Thank you again. Ian, coastal North Essex - retired at 75.
This is the best TH-cam content that I've found in a long while. I love the start (broken machine) to finish (machine back to work) with all the repair steps in between.
I'm a B-pressure welder in Alberta, Canada. Most of the work I do (oilfield) is still with stick welding. Your videos really highlighted how much more productive welding with wire is.
I'm impressed with how you took this whole project and broke it down into steps. Even the "little" steps were huge and daunting.
I look forward to more content like this in the future. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
I love that you followed that part from start to finish even though you weren’t the one doing the other work on it. I found it very fascinating. I especially liked seeing it doing it’s job I was wondering this whole time how that part worked in that machine it’s quite the beast. Thank you for all your effort into making these videos I know it is a time consuming thing but it is very much appreciated when it is done this well.
You smashed it Lad...
Congrats on 500!!!
Has to be an incredible high to see your work being put to such an extreme test watching that crusher run!
As for future videos ... I'm here for all of it .. offroad play time, tractors, machining, story time with Uncle Drew .. you name it, I will happily watch it.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Incredible Work. Thank you!
What great, careful work. The way you thought your way through this tricky job was impressive- just keeping it from pulling out of shape, wow. Thanks for the lessons.
Wow thanks for bringing us along
I Used to work in the mold industry, I know how you feel with the amount of wire you put on a job. Huge props for getting another big job the door. I admire you for giving shoutouts to all the other channels. All the best bud.
I am beyond stonkered by the scale of this job. That bending of the side plates was a subtle issue easily overlooked but given the high temperature nature had its wcked way. Massive respect for your fortitude!!
I'm in awe at how you move something that size and weight around and line it up with such accuracy, not to mention the mammoth task of welding it up without cracking it. Great job.
Hey Props too you brother from a 40 yr career welder in fabrication and aerospace. That job was a Beast, enjoy a well deserved vacation or something.
You have this channel covering all the fun stuff. Cheers
Interesting to watch. As for the heater power, 150 kVA (or 150 kW since heaters are a resistive load) sounds about the right ballpark. Steel has a heat capacity of roughly 0.5 kJ per kg and Kelvin, so to heat up 10 t of steel by one degree you need about 5000 kJ. 150 kW delivers 150 kJ/s, so about 33 s to deliver those 5000 kJ, or in other words with that power you could heat up the crusher jaw by just under two degrees per minute or 550 degrees in five hours. Of course that ignores heat loss to the environment (and other details like that the heat capacity isn't completely constant over this temperature range), but I think that cancels out with not the entire jaw being brought up to full normalizing temperature either.
Awesome figures bud thanks for that insight
must be very satisfying to see that machine back online after all the hard work to get it back together. i hope your customers appreciate you and your team.
Amazing series man. As a welder and former quarryman who ran a jaw bigger than that you have my utmost respect! If I saw my jaw break i wouldve loaded my shorts and the guy's next to me. Wow. Amazing repair glad it worked out in the end.
Would love to see more machining content, especially those Cravens, amazing workhorses known the world over! Keep up the great work!
Definitely the largest horizontal boring machine I've seen. Great history and still running in spec. The Engine Lathe, I've operated a 48" Chuck, however, the bed was 24'
For me I'm here for the welding and this job has not disappointed! Brilliant work.
This reminds me of my old job. Watching this I can miss it, but I don't really regret leaving it to instead do structural engineering and cad.
The smell of welding and grinding discs makes me nostalgic.
Great job Allistair. Impressive repair.
This is huge!!!
Second generation iron worker here. The history of the titans boring machine is impressi. Brilliant explainability of procedure. Expert fitting. Whats nice about fabrication is the challenge of it. Whats nice about welding is you can see your work years later. Stay strong brother.. keep up the great work, clear articulating an explaination. A quick shot of the enviornment would be cool ive never been to your country.
Really amazing job that you've been doing in that crusher project! Chapeau & Congrats!
Job well done. Thank you for the videos. A lot of work in the 500.
Awesome!!
very nicely done. We have had jaw breakers for years.
and also experienced this once, then bought a new jaw, now only more rotor breakers. very nicely done. a pleasure to watch how you did that.
Amazing diligence and workmanship!!
What is phenomenal is the relentless cycles of force that are executed in such small measures, from production, or destruction.
Really fascinating to see this process and others Sifu.
Love the time-lapse shot looking down along the chain from the bridge crane. Epic!
Epic journey is right! Congrats on completing this project and thanks for sharing. Was a little upsetting seeing your comment on a previous video saying you didn’t like your job but I can’t imagine the stress you endured on a project of this magnitude. Hope you are enjoying the feeling of accomplishment now. My favorite content is arc gouging and welding repairs. Your massive machining equipment is really interesting too and look forward to the vhs uploads you mentioned. Thanks again!!!
It's obvious you have been raised by a hard working, knowledgeable, honest family.. You have built-in incredible determination and stamina. The ideas you, your family and your team come up with, and the use of mega tools is unmatched anywhere in the world. It's mind boggling there is someone who can fix a friggin giant rock crusher that looks broken beyond repair to me. WOW! Much respect from a Mechanical Design Engineer (aerospace) in Arizona, USA. Love this kind of metal warfare videos. You are King Kong Kompetent.
That was a hell of a journey, thank you for bringing us along, those machine shops you have at your yard are amazing, congrats on the 500 brother!.
Wow just wow from a hobbyist welder this is just spectacular mate.

Massive job,you really did a great job Allison
You deserve a medal for taking on that .
Fascinating thank you !
Very technical, so very interesting! Thanks
Great repair series, and the icing on the cake was seeing what you fixed crushing rock once again. Mission accomplished...
Great job and video !
Welding,fabrication and machining are at the top of my list
Great job.thanks for sharing lad.
