Rewatching a few old videos, this one is short and sweet. I work in traffic signals and there's nothing more embarrassing than a brand new high-viz jacket 😅
Good job, hope they're more careful shifting it next time! I did a 16' gate,replaced both bottom bar's and bits and pieces -- the polish lad took it back on the pallet fork's at warp speed! Folded it straight in half before it'd even been hung!!🤦🤣🤣
I repaired a sheep feeder last year and when I was taking it out the workshop the leg caught the ground and bent it again 🤣 luckily was only a 10 min job straightening it back out.
What makes your engineering skills so good is the fact u don't have all the fancy equipment like you usually see on these TH-cam channels. It's very impressive
Half of these channels have new machines given to them free to promote the manufacturer. Extreme plasma have given out a few CNC plasma tables, three alone that i know of so likely a lot more.
@@WhiskeyGulf71they need to sponsor Oliver and this channel. He is a true no BS engineer that deserves the sponsors, most of the others are all about playing up to the camera for the entertainment. I have stopped watching so many you tubers because they changed how they did things. This channel is my favourite, he is skilled and down to earth
Came here on recommendation over on the CEE channel. I really like this kind of work - big fabrication by someone who's not afraid to take on a challenge because they have confidence they can do whatever it takes, even if it means re-engineering things from scratch. The Brit accents can sometimes be challenging for a US guy, but you're clear enough for me to catch the drift. 🙂Good stuff!
I love this kind of video, hands-on fabrication with metal. My favorites are I C Weld and Cutting Edge Engineering, and I follow them regularly. I am adding you to that list because you have an understated, quiet way of solving, what I consider, complex problems.
It’s your channel buddy, share whatever you want! You said it perfectly, it’s one of those jobs that pays the bills and a lot of those jobs are helpful to watch. Whoever makes that coat needs to sponsor you because if that was me, I would’ve lit that bad boy on fire immediately😂 must be pretty good stuff!
No one likes a boring video though. The new coat smells a bit of burning plastic when you get a spark on it, have to keep checking to make sure I’m not on fire 😆
Great video 👍 Nice having a good large break press if you struggle with a heavy gauge bend use a large v bend or make a basic square bar bed you end up with a big radius but you can bend up heavy gauge 😊
Film it all! different and weird is exciting and new for me. Im from north america and I want to see how things are different around the world. it would be no fun if everything was made the same and repaired the same way. the ingenuity of people to problem solve is good to see. ie. I would of cut the bent trough out, found a way to straighten it and welded it back in. mainly because I dont have a metal brake, but I do have access to a 200 ton press... keep up the good work 👍👍
We had an old press like that in a place I used to work. CNC press men today have no idea the thought that goes into folding even the simplest of things you have really cool stuff about you, I wish I had the room for it!
Great job, and it is interesting, the Farmer is lucky to have engineers like you to still carry out repairs like that. I have to say it is character building stuff working in 3 deg inside!.The little T20 looks an interesting project. As a boy I spent many hours on a TEF 20 working in Potatoes, Sugar Beet, and the Hay & Straw harvest
hum?... necessity is the mother of invention ...partner ... you are a living example of this .. your fabrication skills very solid ...but the way your maneuver each part ...has my attention ...start to finish ... I do wonder.... why you do not have jib cranes .... having worked for Cameron Iron works and Chicago Bridge and Iron... the use of these smaller types of cranes was a staple for the size of pieces you deal with
For your paint stirrer, have a better idea from a Readers digest magazine from the 1950s/60s. Make a straight shaft bent or welded down to the bisection of an isosceles triangle at the bottom. The Readers Digest version is bent so that the isosceles triangle is not complete up one side. I have different diameter longer shafts so that even a 20 litre drum can be stirred with a battery drill (variable speed). I can send you a photo to your website if you wish. The value of this shape is that there is no sharp edge/side to rip open the side of the paint can. Also when there is too much build up of paint, a technical tap or two with a "tapometer" (hammer) breaks off the old hard paint. I was in the Royal Australian Air Force for 30 years in a HR capacity. The techos told me that you are not allowed to use a hammer on aircraft parts - their version was to give it a "technical tap". Edit. I have now sent your an email with photos.
Apart from your fabrication and engineering skills. I would like to follow you around the auctions. Or wherever you find all that wonderful old machinery. You seem to have a knack for acquiring good quality equipment for the right price. That break press for one is awesome. There will be plenty of customers happy you fixed their trough. No shortage of sheep in those parts. Beautiful area in Summer. Wouldn't want to live there in Winter. The snow is pretty. But getting about is hard. And too cold. I remember one year visiting your region we were having snowball fights first week of May. About 1981/82. Still pretty warm in Qld Australia. Big chunks are under water at the moment. Heavy rainfall all over. But I don't miss the cold. And I've seen enough snow.
EBay and Facebook marketplace is a good place to find bargains. Not often we get much snow nowadays. A few years back my dad made a snowman in April just to say he had. Thanks for watching.
A tip for you. Get yourself a telescoping chair on casters. It really helps with doing a lot of cutting and welding. It helps to avoid getting yourself tired out.
Awesome interesting and honest video What a refreshing and humble grafter. That's a beast of a press break. Rotary phase converters can weigh an absolute ton if they have a ballast box
Good repair, you would never have straightened that out properly, even with heat. Farmers always make me smile, they think they can move or skid anything along with a front end loader.
Brilliant ! , I’d like to see a bit more of the ongoing pojects like the Grey Fergi with the Daihatsu engine. Enjoyed seeing the big pressbrake working too.
Good fix with how it has to be done. get a roller for the paint as I used a brush but watched the lads in a big firm use one all the time. The 100mm wide ones are cheap and cover so fast.
I wonder if the farmers don't have some secret demolition derby you don't know about. Then they look at each other and say, "Bet that lad at Snowball can fix this."
Oh, Oliver. I'm not sure how i missed this. I thought i had caught up watching all of your videos, but this one somehow slipped the net. It was suggested to me earlier tonight and now I have a question. Why didn't you make and replace the forklift prong guides? There were two guides on the trough you removed plus one other which was missing.?
Fookin hell, what winkle spanner managed to cause all that damage ? Couldn’t help notice that it now only has the one fork hole left. Nice little job for a chilly day.
Why don't you make a paint mixer by cutting out a disc about 75mm diameter and drill several holes in it and weld it to a piece of 1/2" rod, by having a disc it doesn't matter if it makes contact with the side of the tin it will only rub against it as opposed to that thing you currently are using which can slam against the side of the tin and knock it flying.
Sound repair snowy. Good job you have that press brake. Takes some bending 3mm on that length. Like your transwave is it rotary sounded like it when you pressed the button. What horsepower is it. I have 10hp rotary transwave for my lathe milling machine and drill. Thanks mark and ruth.
Yes it’s a rotary convertor, It’ll run one motor at 20hp or multiple motors adding up to 25hp. Bigger than what I need but they offered it at the same price as a smaller one. Split phase to 3 phase.
It's all to easy to have lots of ''interesting jobs'' that DON'T pay the bills, ......... and you don't do that sort of work day in day out for the fun of it.
Honest fix and pays the bills. Hope you are happy having us along for the journey.
You might say its not very interesting, but there was quite a lot of skill and knowledge going into that repair! Nice job!

Good job, your a perfectionist I’m sure the sheep won’t notice a degree or two in the trough 😂😂
The trough wasn’t lining up and fitting properly that’s the only reason I had to spring it back. I wouldn’t of bothered otherwise 😆
You need to get yourself a space heater in that workshop. Nice repair though.
Another fantastic video Oliver
Watson would be proud. Nice job 👍
As you say that’s a real word repair. Good job. I did think your coat looked a bit clean at start of video.😀
What a awesome press. Just sitting there waiting for the next job👍👍
never thought something so simple could be so interesting.

I don’t know this press that well yet. Once you get to know them and what numbers press what thickness and angle you can fly along.
Was interesting and good job done there sir brilliant to watch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Some level of skill there. Wish you lived near me lol
Good stuff not sure about that cold weather 30°C here today for me
30c a bit warm for me 🥵

I built it as a road run tractor. It has a Sherman step up box as well, so can do road run speeds at very low revs.
Nice work. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for watching.
awsome repair job looks great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tidy job once again mate! Always a pleasure to watch you work.

Thank for sharing, another project, I learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Another job done well!
Some excellent skills at play here. I am the same with coats. Hate looking like a Belisha beacon 😂
Oliver .. good job as usual .. 😎👍👊🍺🍺
nice repair! Seems like someone got a new jacket :)
A tip for you. Get yourself a telescoping chair on casters. It really helps with doing a lot of cutting and welding. It helps to avoid getting yourself tired out.
Good tip, Thanks
Nice repairs Snowy. Cheers from NC, USA.
That brake press did a good job ,looks easy but very skillfully done !
Awesome interesting and honest video
What a refreshing and humble grafter. That's a beast of a press break. Rotary phase converters can weigh an absolute ton if they have a ballast box
Thanks. I don’t think this has any ballast, it just has a big motor in the bottom section.
Awesome video, thank you Oliver
Bloody well done mate! Working on your pat takes some doing, and you did well!
Good repair, you would never have straightened that out properly, even with heat. Farmers always make me smile, they think they can move or skid anything along with a front end loader.
We can ,it just doesn't always end well 🤣
Thanks for another amazing video.
Brilliant ! , I’d like to see a bit more of the ongoing pojects like the Grey Fergi with the Daihatsu engine.
Enjoyed seeing the big pressbrake working too.
When I finally get around to working on it again I’ll do a video of the fergie.
Great video man, keep'um coming..
Good to see the variety of jobs you do , keep the vids coming
That’s the good thing about my job, not very often 2 days are ever the same.
Quite good; as a farmer, I have seen all manner of farm “repairs” - always nice to see a proper job like this 👍🏻
No corrugated sheets used in this repair 😉
Nice repair simple and clean
Nice work and a good repair! That’s a nice old press break ,you lucky to have it.
Thanks. Need to put some new seals in the rams but it looks a massive job to do.
Good fix with how it has to be done. get a roller for the paint as I used a brush but watched the lads in a big firm use one all the time. The 100mm wide ones are cheap and cover so fast.
Good work mate.
Excellent repair....
Thanks for another great vid, keep em coming
Thanks, will do!
Really enjoyed this one lad!
It always like it’s your first day on the job with a nice clean new coat 😅
I know 🤣 it’s starting to look a bit more worn now.
Are you in down by any chance just noticed the feeder 😂tidy job 👍
Nice job !!
Молодец. Хорошая работа. 🤝👍👌🇷🇺
Nice repair. Not bad, not baaaaaaaaad at all. 🙂
Comment for the algorithm to help the channel 👍.
Thanks!
I wonder if the farmers don't have some secret demolition derby you don't know about. Then they look at each other and say, "Bet that lad at Snowball can fix this."

☹🇬🇧
What brand of clamp are the ones you had clamped to feeder and looped on the sling to flip the feeder upright? Great video,
They are made by Bessey. Thanks

About 15miles north of York
😎👍😎

What did you say that the Leyland engine was for? I didn’t quite catch it?
Tractor pulling. It’s out of my leyland 285 tractor puller.

hello from Finland, are you a fan of Finland when it says Finnish on the beanie, it would be nice to know the story of this beanie
I went on holiday to Lapland one Christmas. That’s where the hat came from 😆
😉👍🤙👌✌️👏🏼
Fookin hell, what winkle spanner managed to cause all that damage ?
Couldn’t help notice that it now only has the one fork hole left.
Nice little job for a chilly day.
They only have one fork hole just to stop them tipping off. The farmer wanted it moving onto the otherside.
@@snowballengineering i guess that makes sense, just enough to stop it tipping & sliding but not that you have to adjust the forks width to fit.
@@WhiskeyGulf71 I think it was a metric adjustable winkle spanner,or maybes even a Whitworth adjustable!??!!🤔😉🤣🤣👍

Why don't you make a paint mixer by cutting out a disc about 75mm diameter and drill several holes in it and weld it to a piece of 1/2" rod, by having a disc it doesn't matter if it makes contact with the side of the tin it will only rub against it as opposed to that thing you currently are using which can slam against the side of the tin and knock it flying.

Hey Ollie just wondering if you have used the 3M CUBITRON sanding discs that on fire welding uses and raves about? Sheep 🐑 feeder that’s fixed 🫡
I haven’t yet, I’ve seen him use them tho.
