Thank you for the 1 min educational section at the start. As a land surveyor, i have no clue how lot of your stuff work, but with you dropping some info here and there i can slowly build up some knowledge to better understand the videos and why you do things your way. Great stuff!
Thanks for the information on the air arc gouging Ollie, I wondered how it worked, I thought that the rod was hollow and the air went through it before you explained. 👍
Nice description of how metal arc gouging works. I had worked that out some time ago, but not the details that you showed with the three holes for the air.
Re: arc gouging. You're doing great! Aim a blast of air at a puddle. Splashes everywhere. Nobody, even the top pros, can be precise where it splashes. Kurtis at CEE has got it controlled a little by fine tuning the arc but it still makes a mess. The best that can be suggested is use the smallest rod that gets the job done and practice your own techniques. Angle, distance, create your own comfort zone. What finds the separation line with minimum splash and mess, The best I've seen is a guy who finds the separation then gets close and lets the grinder get down to it.
Oliver, I love these odd job videos. With my short attention span, it keeps my mind focus. Thanks for the little tid bits and info how how and why you do things. Cheers from Sydney 🇦🇺
Hi Oliver, great vid. How you can say, with a straight face "Just an ordinary weld,nothing fancy!" I can only dream of getting a weld that perfect! Looking forward to next week's offering!🙂
Good morning, Oliver. Nice job. No half-ass jobs from your shop and I respect that a lot. Hope you score on that TLT-30D you found at the equipment auction. Have a great week mate and see you next Sunday. Cheers.
I think you did the gouging very well. I watched somebody else that had gouging tip for their plasma cutter and that worked pretty well as an alternative.
Thanks for explaining the air arc, I wondered how the air got to the end of the rod. That bucket has seen better days, the original build was poor and not up to your standard. Thanks for sharing this weeks work job. Brian from South Yorkshire.
I too enjoy the air arc work. Two other YT channels are @ICWeld and @OFW. They both do a lot of heavy machinery gas torch cutting, air arc cutting and welding, mostly in the field. You will surely enjoy them as well.
Another awesome watch with me cupa tea that's a nice cut on those brackets saves alot of time on clean up ...that arc gouging is so simple but affective no blow back on ya cutting torch to worry about lol ...
Another good job - we have a small auger bucket with a knife at the end , that would never last 4 lots of brackets - who makes one with rollers - brilliant idea
I often wondered if it was possible to cut with electric, well not with a welding rod obviously, had not worked out how to move the welted metal on out of the way. All sorted now. Thanks for filming and bringing us along.
Re the issue with the aligning the brackets a cheap laser level would have come in handy (Heupar make some great ones at very reasonable price) It could come in handy for all sorts of jobs I reckon?
Great job Ollie! I always look forward to seeing your videos on Sunday morning with my coffee before the rest of the family gets up. The other plus for me is that I see equipment that I do not see in the USA. Keep up the amazing work and work safely my friend!
I think ohs made that bucket was like me that welding are really bad like my weddings 😅 I really love your welding skills I wish I would weld like and some other welding people I watch but I don't give up just keep practising one day I will get better.
See you been to Lidel for the digital angle protractor, I got a couple of those when they were on half price. Amazing for the price 👍 alot of people don’t realise the thought that goes into getting the crowd and dump angles right ( or not sometimes)
Thanks for taking the time to make the video showing your daily work in the shop. That is one hoofin' great bucket compared to the tattie graips and neep champers we used when I was a lad !!
What you forgot to mention about arc gouging is that it is enjoyable to do. But if you aren't the one doing it, it is pure misery to be within 100 meters of someone doing it!
All work and no play get yourself on holiday recharge your batteries in the sun it’s like a tonic gets you ready for the next tasks ahead merry Christmas
Hi Ollie that was a very clear explanation of arc gouging, thank you. Do you re-use many of steel parts that you remove from projects, or do they go to the scrapper? Cheers
How do you find the running cost of oxy-propane? I’ve been looking to getting a gas cutting set up but the cost of gas seems prohibitively expensive for what I do
I do a few repairs for my son's forestry work and have oxy-propane cutting gear using the smaller (9 litre ?) Hobbyweld oxygen cylinder (no rental charges, just a refundable, one off deposit) and FloGas propane and find it affordable. It mostly gets used for straightening stuff out ! I have a German 50amp plasma cutter that will clean cut up to 15mm and sever 20mm, but it's a bit hit and miss at times, I think because I don't have a decent enough water trap on my air system ?
I think that for cutting thicker steel gas works out cheaper than the plasma. I get my propane from Flogas and the oxygen from Adams gas at my local hardware shop, much cheaper than BOC.
I cannot understand why manufacturers cannot come together and create a universal coupling for buckets and other attachments. Very much like what happened with tractors and the rear three point linkage system, which I believe, was something introduced by Harry-Ferguson and done by collaboration with David Brown (the Ferguson-Brown tractor) and then Harry Ferguson convincing Henry Ford to adopt the system and the Ford-Ferguson 9n tractor. It doesn't make sense that every manufacturer has its own proprietary system, Of course, it creates work for Snowball Engineering and that is good, but for the end-user, having to swap out brackets every time you buy a new telehandler by a different manufacturer is a bit ridiculous.
Lovely, another Snowball video and coffee. Going by the first couple of minutes, a question is, why don't they have standard fixings at the front of these machines? Another question Ollie, have you ever priced up for an increased 3 phase electrical supply to the workshop from Northern Powergrid and your electricity supplier?
Because they are made by different manufacturers and they will never agree a common standard without being forced too. iPhone charging connections are a good example.
Nicely done! But ye ol Forky McForkface is a wee bit soft on its left tire it seems to my eye at around 16:22. When You pick up the bucket the tires go flat- more than I´d be comfy with. It might take the edge off when You cart around stuff on the yard so I get why one would like his McForkface a wee bit soft. It just looks …wrong. I think Forkface wheels should witstand the weight and it´s up to the driver to tiptoe the throttle and hydraulics. I used to drive a Forkface, it was the most clapped out, run down thing in all of Germany but it …ran and wasn´t leaky so I got to like it. Brakes were shot so: be careful. I was and I never had a problem. Good stuff, Kind Regards
Partner ....your imagination rides shotgun with you ....going a bit deep allows you to sent the prior attemp into wonderland .... I am always ready to see what you are up too

Yeah, I like that as well😎👌
Agreed!
It maybe a POS bucket, but it has outlived 4 different mounting set-ups. Thanks for bringing us along Oliver. Take care & stay safe.
Thanks for the information on the air arc gouging Ollie, I wondered how it worked, I thought that the rod was hollow and the air went through it before you explained. 👍
Great stuff as usual. Thanks for sharing. My Sunday mornings aren't complete without Snowball Engineering to watch.
Nice description of how metal arc gouging works. I had worked that out some time ago, but not the details that you showed with the three holes for the air.
Arc air gouging is violent, loud and dirty work. I love it. It is sculpting.
Love these oddball... I mean unique Snowball projects.
'Triggers bucket' ... Great video ..
Another brilliant repair, Ollie. Thanks for taking us along!

As always, thank you Ollie for this beautifully filmed showing of your work. Your comments are invaluable and very informative. Have a good week.
Good morning, Oliver. Nice job. No half-ass jobs from your shop and I respect that a lot. Hope you score on that TLT-30D you found at the equipment auction. Have a great week mate and see you next Sunday. Cheers.
Hey Ollie, nice straight forward job. Bread and Butter. Great work. Thanks for sharing
Another valuable modification to keep your clients in business and saving them money rather than buying new.
I think you did the gouging very well. I watched somebody else that had gouging tip for their plasma cutter and that worked pretty well as an alternative.
I would love to be your wife or kids.
Never a raised voice or a harch word spoken.
A true gentleman at heart!
Great welds. Dimes stacking as we say in the US.

It’s Sunday morning and another video. My week is complete. Thanks very much.
I like your comment Oliver, “we are not building a space ship” 😂😂😂😂
But you dont want it dropping from a Great Height 😢😢😢😢😢
Either 😂
Says the losers with emojis...
@@I_Am_Your_Problemwoah, you ok? Was your mother a spaceship or something? 😂
excellent video again. always amazed at your variety of projects and your ability to tackle any problem. many thanks.
Here's a good example what an advantage is to be a metal worker with experience into farming!
I like the odd job sessions. It's just cool watching what you do.
another great show. thanks . i think you sell yourself short on your skill level. you are the best. see you next week.
Nice looking welds!
Another awesome watch with me cupa tea that's a nice cut on those brackets saves alot of time on clean up ...that arc gouging is so simple but affective no blow back on ya cutting torch to worry about lol ...
Hiye.
Great job you done on that bucket.
I thought it was going to fall off the forklift when you were bringing it into the workshop 😂
Another good job - we have a small auger bucket with a knife at the end , that would never last 4 lots of brackets - who makes one with rollers - brilliant idea
Another awesome video, great work. Thank you Oliver
I’ve done my share of arc gouging and I think you’ve done a heck of a good job!
Keep up the good work, you Yorkshiremen are too tight to take holidays!
Excellent video its most interesting to see all this equipment. Please continue to explain how this amazing equipment works.
I often wondered if it was possible to cut with electric, well not with a welding rod obviously, had not worked out how to move the welted metal on out of the way. All sorted now. Thanks for filming and bringing us along.
Oliver great content,very interesting. Watching you at 1am. Don't want to miss anything. From West Texas.
Re the issue with the aligning the brackets a cheap laser level would have come in handy (Heupar make some great ones at very reasonable price) It could come in handy for all sorts of jobs I reckon?
Excellent work as ever Oliver, thanks for sharing!
Olá amigo mais um trabalho perfeito!!!
lhes desejo sempre muita saúde e cada vez mais sucesso!!!
Great video again! That kutavar is really useful ainnit! Welds looking noice!
Beautiful welds!
Morning Oliver, lovely stuff as always, cold snap coming next week, keep warm buddy, have a great one 👍
Howdy Oliver. Great video. Stay warm. Thank you for the video.
Nice one Oliver! Thanks 👍🏻
Love the content Oliver. You could do with a laser level for working on these wonky buckets. Keep up the great work mate.
Great job on bucket brackets Oliver
Good job. You should be able to re-use the Merlo brackets.
another good job. well done explaining the gouger
hey, Snow its going to be 31 here bendigo Vic. nice work and explanation on the bucket job.
Great job Ollie! I always look forward to seeing your videos on Sunday morning with my coffee before the rest of the family gets up. The other plus for me is that I see equipment that I do not see in the USA. Keep up the amazing work and work safely my friend!
Excellent welding
Excellent job man, great video, keep'um coming..
I think ohs made that bucket was like me that welding are really bad like my weddings 😅
I really love your welding skills I wish I would weld like and some other welding people I watch but I don't give up just keep practising one day I will get better.
Greetings from the oldest town in Texas, USA, Nacogdoches. Nice work.
Shit hole state full of a hole residents. Losers.
They asked the right chap to sort out new brackets for the bucket, no doubt about that, in my opinion anyway.
Great welding !
Hello Oliver, thanks for video, nice welding.
Great little intro, now we know.
Great job.
Love your work. Great video as usual.
Well done Sir!
Another job well done!
See you been to Lidel for the digital angle protractor, I got a couple of those when they were on half price. Amazing for the price 👍 alot of people don’t realise the thought that goes into getting the crowd and dump angles right ( or not sometimes)
Nice welding Oliver 👍
Remember when you fixed the front of that bucket, it was a right mess. You mean you hope you're never going to see it again. 😎 👍
great video thanks ollie
1,774 👍's up SBE thank you for sharing 🤗
Excellent work,as usual.
Nice job 👍
Thanks for taking the time to make the video showing your daily work in the shop. That is one hoofin' great bucket compared to the tattie graips and neep champers we used when I was a lad !!
7th!!!!!!! Love your work. Great video as usual.
If you get enough bread and butter jobs, they soon make a decent sandwich. And regular customers can be a God send.
That's actually a very good T-shirt quote.. 🤔😏
What you forgot to mention about arc gouging is that it is enjoyable to do. But if you aren't the one doing it, it is pure misery to be within 100 meters of someone doing it!
Another job finished and a few more pounds in your pocket.
Nice job...Thank You...
MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼
All work and no play get yourself on holiday recharge your batteries in the sun it’s like a tonic gets you ready for the next tasks ahead merry Christmas
Very good flame cut with minimal if any melting of the top edge. Might I suggest decreasing the fuel volume once the cut is going?
Always great videos 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Girrup theer mush. Good work as always
What power source are you using for the arc air gouging?
Hi Ollie that was a very clear explanation of arc gouging, thank you. Do you re-use many of steel parts that you remove from projects, or do they go to the scrapper?
Cheers
Brilliant.

Great video 👍 When doing heavy gauge jobs do you then use fluxcore mig as i believe has a higher penetration and heat saturation 😊
Do you get to keep those brackets for possible future usage? Or do they go back to the original owner
Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍

I was wondering if that thing started life as a hopper and was converted into a bucket?
Nicely done! But ye ol Forky McForkface is a wee bit soft on its left tire it seems to my eye at around 16:22. When You pick up the bucket the tires go flat- more than I´d be comfy with.

Ah it’s Sunday with snowballing
Nice smoke screen you were hiding behind while gouging. Good job wearing an air filter, it would not be good to breathe that smoke.
Tidy job Oliver ! Did you Get a destination set for your holidays yet ?
Please can you tell me why when cutting plate 25 30ish you dont use the edge of the material as your strait edge
thanks
Good question I keep meaning to ask ! 😁
Maybe the straight edge of the material isn't a straight edge? And I wouldn't want to go to the trouble of aligning the thick sheet metal exactly.
It takes longer to accurately align an existing edge with the machine table and then zero the torch on it.
But if Snowball Industries DID build a spaceship, it would be a good one 🙌
Partner ....your imagination rides shotgun with you ....going a bit deep allows you to sent the prior attemp into wonderland .... I am always ready to see what you are up too
Arc welding is stick welding. Arc gouging is unstick welding.
Do you prefer air arc gouging over plasma or is there not much of a difference? Never done ether myself
