Nice job, it brought memories of my apprenticeship in the fabrication shop. It was hard work, but really fulfilling. Having the old timers teaching us with stuff that was not in the books. Good post, thanks ⭐🔨
I noticed that you have a lot of old equipment that some may consider obsolete. But this old gear was well built and built to last, so good to hang onto it and keep it working while new equipment is braking down every five minutes. I actually have poser tools and other tools that I've had for around 50 years and still working well.
Your work shows how much experience and expertise you have. The way those skins fit on the frames before welding certainly assured a minimum amount of warpage. Thanks for another excellent video!
Nice job Olly, Way better than new now with a 4mm skin on them. Planned obsolescence is a dirty word in your shop Olly by the looks. Rightly so too Mate. I often get accused of over engineering repairs but I am repairing my stuff therefore cost is the last thing I worry about. Good one mate. I'll go and have a brew myself now Olly. Thanks for sharing.
Well, great outcome on this,could never master the rollers,most of the work I was involved in in my earlier days was mostly 12mm to 25mm building stools for engine room machinery pumps generators etc, then was involved mostly in heavy prefabricated units,that was hard work,we only had a tolerance of between 3mm to 5mm, sorry for rabbiting on but it's great to watch something that was a pleasure to work on,regards once again,🛠️🏴🇬🇧
Replicating curves and radii without patterns is always going to be difficult. A good solid fix however. I bet the cost of replacement of OEM parts would be scary. Nice editing and good learning video.
Nice one olly. I hope that's a Yorkshire tea bag you were using there.😂. Should last a bit being four mm thick. When you said at the end how much new ones cost. It goes to show repairing them much stronger is the way to go. Cheaper as well.😁❤
Well fiddly job, that pasta almost had more twists 😆 bet you wished time could be speeded up like your video 😂 I just thought that would make a cool hillbilly rocking chair 😝
Excellent job, and what a saving you've made for the owner. I would love to know how you charge for your work, but of course I understand that you may not want to disclose that kind of info publicly. I'm pretty sure I've seen all your back catalogue of videos, - maybe I've missed it, but I would also love to see a shop tour and a little background into how you've come to be in this shop. Regards Mark in the UK
Well hello Oliver nice to meet you! I’m in Penticton BC Canada not sure how long you’ve been around? But this is the first time I’ve seen you on youtube. Love this kind of content done lots of fabing in my time but seeing another possible way is always good . So thanks for the vid and I’ll keep on watching.
Have you thought about hanging up some shower curtains. around the work area?; It will make cleaning up alot easier, a grundert throws crap everywhere. And it adds up just a bit of 20mm tubing tack welded together. With a bitof rope or wire too hold the tarp, or a real shower curtain would work!
Do you mean the type used to prevent welding arc from hurting people around the welding area? He works alone. Sweeping the grinding and welding spurge is not a problem.
Plasma cutting cuts metal with a super hot stream of plasma. Arc air gouging uses a carbon rod and creates an arc melting the metal and then blowing it away. You can also gouge with a plasma if you have the right machine/nozzles
Surely all that dismantling. Making new, re-welding and labour + materials, should make a new factor unit be a cost effective option, or you are very much undercharging your materials, manufacturing and labour options?
I guess the original outer layer of metal you're replacing is considered by the manufacturer as a consumable material. Why have two skins, inner and outer? I was surprised how good the inner skin looked after removing the outer skin. Plain milled steel, no rust prevention and no serious rust. I don't get it. Maybe it makes sense to someone smarter than I.
I'm impressed by your calm, well thought through, and methodical approach to these jobs.
As an American, it brought a smile to my face when I saw that sheet of steel labeled "4mm 4 x 8 feet".
Only because 8x4 is quicker to write than 2500x1250 😆
I always love seeing how you overcome problems. You are very talented.

Yes, too old really but it’s getting me a go. I plan to start replacing some of the older machines now.

i liked this job a bit of variety. Never ceases to amaze me the machines you have , and the size of them
I would love you to do a tour of your workshop & tools and it’s history.
It was pretty cool how you got the odd twists in the side pieces. Simple but effective
Awesome video, great work. Thank you Oliver
What no boring🙃. Nice work👍🏴
Impressive repair you have some nice equipment. Cheers from NC, USA.
I can';t wait to see how you keep this sheet metal from warping like a crisp.

Tricky bit of snake wrestling there. Job beautifully done. Thank you for posting.
Good job 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, 🇨🇦
Awesome job I am impress I with I could weld as good as you, your wedding finish is excellent.
Salut je suis de France tu a du courage moi aussi je fessais le même travail
Great skill set, nice job
Big respect from a new subscriber on the SW coast of Cornwall, UK.
Would of been sooner if the YT algorithm behaved.
Welcome along!
As an aside, I brought a 3 kW kettle home from my last trip to the continent; what a joy it is.
That was an interesting and somewhat tricky job.
U do grate work u are a farmer as well keep the videos going

Obviously it’s Yorkshire tea 😆 Yes, should definitely last well now.
That Yorkshire tea bags 🤣🤣🤣 great engineering as always fella 👍

Hi Brad! I’ve not been on TH-cam long, just before Christmas I started. Thanks for watching!
A fellow shurap fan. 🙂
Hi, just found your channel and really enjoying it.
Was wondering where you got your clamps from?
Co remontujesz w tym materiale .Pozdrowienia😊z Polski
Well done Snowy, I know from experience that type of job is a bitch of the first order - take care and hot end to the metal.
Has the workshop been used by older family previously?

To get some weird parts drawn I lay them on my table and run the head around getting points from the coordinates then put them in cad.
Can you explain the difference between plasma cutting and "gouging out".
Plasma cutting cuts metal with a super hot stream of plasma. Arc air gouging uses a carbon rod and creates an arc melting the metal and then blowing it away. You can also gouge with a plasma if you have the right machine/nozzles
great skills did you use hard facing wire?
No just normal mild steel mig wire.
Yet again another great video. Are you doing any merch in the future?
Possibly, just on getting some hoodies and T-shirts made for myself at the moment but if people are interested
Would u not fix the oil leak beside the press machine as the oil is just soaking in to the concrete
It’s a massive job
Hello
What type off welder and compressor you use for gauging
I use my 400amp tecarc welder for gouging and I’m unsure on the compressors output.
@@snowballengineering
I’m new to this work so I’m looking for a affordable setup to get started
Thanks for the help
Nice content keep going👌
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Excuse my ignorance, but what sort of cost would renewing these units be? I’m glad there’s a few people like you left who can repair them by the way!!
Watch to the end to see the new price.
Beau Travail Beau veste
Installing the metal is like peeing in the wind😅😮

Much cheaper to reskin. New ones are very expensive.
Good lad...
☹🇬🇧
Was that an imperial tape measure??
Don’t be silly. 🤣
I wonder why is the point of two skins?
So it wears the skin away instead on the whole thing.
@@snowballengineering Ahhh, ok got it.
Obviously I now wish I’d watched the whole video before asking questions….. Sorry about that …..

Yeah, I was wondering that, too.....
Lack of oxygen between the layers possibly?
I would subscribe to this channel if i could understand what this guy is saying
You keep coming back and watching though.
@@snowballengineering no I don't I come back to hit the thumbs down button
This is the forth video I’ve seen you comment on now all saying the same thing. Sorry if you can’t understand me, maybe my videos just aren’t for you.

You’ve just proved yourself a proper Yorkshireman by not putting the milk in the tea first 🫶🏻😃
Got to have at least 5 mins to brew as well.
Also filled to the top good man nowt worse than half measures!
Just need common sense, not being from Yorkshire, the hot water will dissolve more tea flavour without the milk in it first.
Only insane people put the milk in first
