Hi Oliver, your channel is mandatory for me to view on a Sunday morning, and I have often thought that you should have a "Company" colour which you should use to paint your "Bespoke" engineering projects. And I am pretty sure that if I were clever enough to design and construct a piece of machinery such as this I would have my company name engraved or stamped on it in a very prominent position, this bit of kit is going to make someone's life a lot easier, and I would want everyone to know that Snowball Engineering made that possible.
I look forward to your videos. I am 81 yrs. old and did the same type work as you for over 60 yrs. I learn from you every time I watch. Greetings from West Texas USA.
What a super way to start a Sunday - with another great video from Snowball Engineering. Your design, problem-solving and fabrication skills are first class, together with being educational and instructive to watch, particularly with regard to CAD. I'm mindful of the amount of time you'll have spent editing this video; the quality of your videography, is at the very least, equal to Cutting Edge Engineering, where Kurtis' wife does all the filming and editing. I find your videos compulsive viewing - I never want them to end. Your latest post has been most interesting and an absolute delight to watch, Thank you for posting such superb content.
You have turned that into a much more useful machine! That plasma table certainly earns its living, jobs like this would be much more difficult and take much more time without it! Phil
Hey mate love your work. A little tip I've picked up for edges with hoses or pipes running over them is to weld a bit of round bar along the edge, quick and easy 👌
Nice Job! Your local farmers don’t know how lucky they are to have a can do guy like you around. Maybe the customer could film it in action. Just 1 minute 🤠
You are becoming the person over there where people come to you and "can you make me something that will do ......" I have this over here (Australia) but I don't have the plasma gear and the ability to drive the software to draw up the items. The stuff I make is much smaller and simpler. Keep up your good work.
Quite a bit smaller than the arrangement that Dirt Perfect and MBTS made for laying 8" Drainage 'tile' in the USA, but then they didn't try and design a reel for it, they tow a trailer-mounted one behind a baby tractor! Well done Ollie, another imaginative solution well thought through.
Some clever solutions to the problems and we love listening to you talking Ollie. I don’t know how you find the time to do all that you do, maybe you don’t sleep much.
Super wykonana robota , włożona wiedza i zaangażowanie dała oczekiwany efekt przy małym koszcie materiału i robocizny. W trakcie oglądania filmu nie bardzo wiedziałem jaki będzie końcowy efekt ale wyszło bardzo dobrze i praktycznie. Urządzenie może służyć do wielu prac : do drenażu gruntu lub ułożeniu rury zasilającej wodę. Super😀!
That was bloody good as usual Oliver mate, so much to enjoy. All the CAD all the CNC cutting, you designing and sorting out problems as they arise.. and even a bit of bodge mate when you fixed the hose. That was good, now looking forward to the next one...
Good job, you were right to add on the extra webbing to support the arm. Shock loading can be devastating and can easily deform, or even break the welds. Thoroughly enjoyed the post, many thanks. Stay safe and well 👍
It's fascinating to see your problem solving and design process. You came up with great solutions. The program that shows the stress is really interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Good job, you should check out the tile plough (that's what they call the pipe in the states, a bit bigger though) build on Dirt Perfect it's a monster for doser.
It might be useful to also take a look at Dirt Perfect's design. th-cam.com/video/VNMumFRUv3g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gMMFC9hswap6Swa- Although it is for a shovel, it is about the functional idea. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Yes you're right @raymondmusarra1328, Mike and his friend Aaron his welder make and design and make the tools for his machines. He does a load of tile work and was using his excavators to dig the trenches needed before laying the pipes which could be 6 or 8 inches in diameter, the trench had to be refilled. So he bought an old military John Deere dozer and made a tile plough to be mounted on to it. He only has to dig a small length of trench so he can get the depth he needs then he begins to plough down the field. Lately they have been making a tree lopper to get the clearance for the combine harvesters. The tile plough has saved him a lot of time because he doesn't have to go up and down the fields back filling after laying the tile. DIRT PERFECT is his channel.
Another quality job from planning to finish. A job 'too strong' is better than a weak one is my way of thinking and working. The plasma table makes these jobs so much easier and quicker. Thanks for sharing your work week. Brian from South Yorkshire.
That new CNC plasma cutter does a nice job of cutting out different shapes. Way better and far more accurate than using an oxy torch to cut things out by hand.
This was a brilliant and stylized fabrication. It was great to see you create this interesting machine. You have left the possibility of changing pipe size open to the simple task of making a new shoe for the larger pipe as required.
I love your channel! Your ingenuity is absolutely amazing. You look much better with your new brown jacket. Shows that you have pride in your appearance. Keep up the great work.
I made a mini version about 30 years ago to plough in PA speaker cables for events that fitted on the back of my Land Rover. The cable was spooled onto Mig wire drums. Lovely Job Oliver.
Here we go again. You just surpassed all your other builds Ollie. This has turned that mole into a really useful pipelayer. As usual, you've added more than a little value to the whole machine through your engineering skill. I love the fillets you added they are the weakest point of the build as the torque on that piece will do a lot of damage otherwise. As for the talking, your a good Yorkshire lad and should be proud of how you speak! As always Ollie, I am so impressed with your work. You can tell you worked in Industrial environments with the way you think. 11 out of 10 for this project, don't worry about painting top coats on anything, as most people don't notice anyway, they just want it to work. Snowball Engineering at it's finest, Well done Lad.
Great video my friend! Compared to your other fans I am a local, but it's great to see from the comments how far you fan base goes. World wide is no small feat for a humble Yorkshire lad! Talk as much as you fell comfortable with my friend. Thanks and greetings from Selby north Yorkshire.
Looks like it's still pretty cold over there in the UK. Here in Queensland Australia, we're getting rainy weather again, but we did get a week without rain so I could finally cut the grass that was a foot high. Winter is slowly creeping on here, so you should get some warmer weather there soon.
Great video, new sub. Your channel was offered up after watching Cutting Edge Australia so the youtube algorithm sees you in heady company. One small suggestion, recycled conveyor belt makes good anti-chaff guides.
A little tip I saw on another channel some day: when you're grinding those small parts with an angle grinder, or even bigger parts, put a piece of old carpet on your table. The parts you're grinding won't slip on the carpet
Thanks for another great video mate. Your ingenuity and vision is nothing short of astounding. I'm just a home hobby metalworker in learning, so your videos are invaluable for tips on how to approach and do things. Watching you cut the holes in the box section for the axle to fit, hammered home just how much I really need to get my arse in gear and build a CNC plasma table. I've been playing with 3D Printers for a few years now so have a decent understanding of the robotic element, just need to get my head around the mechanics and build the chuffing thing 🙂
I live in the United States, Detroit Michigan. I've been watching your channel since you had 2700 subs. As soon as this opportunity came along to support the channel I jumped on it. Great hoodie, very thick. I especially like the embroidery. Keep up the engineering/fabrication content. Your fan in the USA. Jon
The tube chute is wider than the cutting blade, so it will have a lot of force on it as well as friction. So, it probably should have some sacrificial plates welded to the sides and maybe more mounting structure. Ideally, the chute should have been the width of the blade. Anyway, good work from Missouri USA. Also, I'm a fellow tea drinker, but mine has ice and sugar. Lol
Love the videos always enjoyable to watch, if you ever wanna make those dirty hands clean money plaques and put them on your shop I’d be interested in buying one 👍
Brilliant build, so clever yet so simple you would definitely recognise that plough in a field. You could always advertise the cost of exporting to the EU, that way they'll know upfront if they want to buy a hoodie or not. It looks like a quality piece, perhaps you could do some investigating and see what's available in the EU for the money they would pay, might find yours are worth the extra 11 euros.. 👍
In my work in telephone cable construction here in Canada, we used a similar but very robust piece of equipment called a cable plough to lay miles of heavy copper cable. The device was usually mounted on a Caterpillar D9 and the operation was supported by a fleet of vehicles to carry the giant wooden reels and dig in the places not plough-able.
The curl of the pipe is the opposite of how it will go through the foot. It seems to me that the front of the reel should be over the entry of the foot. Yes, it will make the whole thing longer, but that way the curl of the pipe matches the curve in the foot. It may cause feeding issues as it is. If the weight winds up being too much, he could tow a 2-wheel cable trailer. They are light an easy to maneuver, and with the pipe coming off the top it dives perfectly into the foot. - Love the videos. :^)
I used to do gas work we had a self-contained unit with the same kind of set up on it except there were 3 pipes at 3 different levels to put in the pipe trace wire and caution tape. Always look forward to Sunday morning video and coffee. Thanks for getting my hoodie out so fast. Can’t believe I had it in under a week
Nice design and fabrication Oliver . I’m retired and teaching myself to Tig and stick weld and also use Onshape so find your videos very helpful. Did try to weld some nuts onto a plate with a bolt in to locate them but ended up welding the bolts in too! They were small 6 mm ones so maybe not the right way to do it! That big bending machine is impressive!
You talk as long as you want, mate! Your channel is like free education for people like me and I love watching it.
I agree! I like when Oliver explains things!
Totally agree
absolutely! Decent guy, explains clear and easy to understand.

You can talk as long as you like Ollie. Really enjoy your work. It’s great to see your business grow.
Great video, nicely presented. I’ve got no problem with you talking a lot, it gives interesting narrative
You have turned that into a much more useful machine! That plasma table certainly earns its living, jobs like this would be much more difficult and take much more time without it!
Phil
Good job, all we need now is a video of it operating.
Hi from the USA,love your videos hope you enjoying doing the jobs as much as I do watching!
I’m one or the guys in the US rocking my new Snowball Engineering hoodie! Super nice and got it extremely fast! Thanks Oliver! 🎉
Enjoyed the build, and like that adage "Dirty hands = Clean Money". 🌿
Hey mate love your work. A little tip I've picked up for edges with hoses or pipes running over them is to weld a bit of round bar along the edge, quick and easy 👌
It’s nice being able to first visualize something then build it.
Excellent job, engineer and designer!
One bonus video footage would be to see it in action
Nice Job!

A lie in, coffee and Snowball Engineering. Whats not to like?
And another cracking job there Ollie.
and switch it on the tv so i can sit relaxed and enjoy my coffee there:p
@@bazingabert3346, get the wife out of the way watch crap American tv and I’m right with you👍

Oliver, another great Snowball Engineering job. The Hoodie looks good too. I'm not sure why viewers claim you talk too much, you don't. Cheers.

A nice smaller version of what Dirt Perfect and Man Behind the Scenes built for laying drainage pipe behind a bulldozer on its ripper. Good job!
Thanks!your love of painting is world renowned, 😊
Thank you! I love painting 😐
Another interesting build. Your plasma table has become a great asset in your tool box. Thanks for bring us along every Sunday morning.
Some clever solutions to the problems and we love listening to you talking Ollie. I don’t know how you find the time to do all that you do, maybe you don’t sleep much.

Now that’s a roll of water pipe it’s huge. Love that plasma cutter saves so much fabricating
It's fascinating to see your problem solving and design process. You came up with great solutions. The program that shows the stress is really interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Proper Engineering with a capital E. Taking all the forces in to consideration. Well done and thanks for sharing
You should make one in your snowball Logo shape next one...THAT would be Awesome !
With imprint and everything🤓
Another Sunday, another snowball!!

Tile plow is for laying tile pipe thats for water drainage, this is for water supply, tile plows can lay water pipe but they're not great for it
Nice job! Looks to me like it will be quite effective and user friendly when at work in the field . :)
Another quality job from planning to finish. A job 'too strong' is better than a weak one is my way of thinking and working.

Signs of Spring in the background.
Notification, coffee, bagel and a great start to my Sunday morning. Fantastic work Sir! As always, a big howdy from across the pond.
Another interesting watch. It was well worth seeing the job evolve over time. Would be good to see it working in the field. Good luck with the merch.
Nice job on the pipe reel. It should work well. I bet that worked out a lot cheaper than a bought one.
That new CNC plasma cutter does a nice job of cutting out different shapes. Way better and far more accurate than using an oxy torch to cut things out by hand.

Another great project I hope it worked well I sure it would do ,It will be interested in what you make for your shop .
You are a talented young man…and you don’t talk to much 👍
I love these make something from nothing videos. Great vision and problem solving skills as always. 👊
Dont Forget to lock the door! LOL
Another brilliant fabrication, Olly and great sunday video
You did a great job, it took a lot of work. You've turned it into a much more useful machine!
Fantastic work, innovation and good design.
I made a mini version about 30 years ago to plough in PA speaker cables for events that fitted on the back of my Land Rover. The cable was spooled onto Mig wire drums. Lovely Job Oliver.
The plasma table coming in clutch again 😊
I use it for nearly every job

Very clever design and fabrication. I enjoy the mix of CAD, cutting table, analysis, and of course your descriptions - keep 'em coming!
Another great Sunday morning video Olly❤

We have been back down into the single digits last week. Plenty of rain still as well
I enjoy all your videos but especially when you're making machines. I really enjoyed the potato conveyor ones. Good work mush stay safe

We knew immediately which part you've done before - it has the best color - RED OXIDE!
Great job Ollie, Sundays are great with new videos of your hard work! Just ordered my hoodie and hope you will have the metal signs back in stock soon
I’ll get some more cut out this week. Will have some other designs too.
