What is happening? I could be doing anything productive, but I choose to sit & watch Otto fix a drive shaft? Why? What compells me to watch this? I'll never own a boat. I'll never need shaft repair knowledge. It seems I got addicted to the problem solving skills of Otto Kilcher. I can't get enough of this wise crackin' wise man. The skill of one can help so many via TH-cam. Keep it coming. Thumbs up! I wanna see what project comes next.
Yeah I have like 5000 things to do, but this is the best. It's how our lives could be... imagine.
Cutting that flange with the make shift drill bit tool is the coolest thing I’ve seen on youtube. I don’t think they teach that in mechanic schools.
I know !! Guys like Otto are who you want when stuff breaks - like McGyver in the real world :)
Otto is amazing. He's a Jack-Of-All-Trades, and is very generous when it comes to helping others resolve challenges. He is truly a man to look up to.
Like Mart Raney!
Not a lot of people today know what the suspenders colors represent. Used to watch the red green show every week. Love it. As long as you dont pick up his habits on fixing things. Lol
Otto’s suspenders are probably for boating. Buoys are red right up a channel and green are on the right going the opposite way. I’d be very surprised if he had seen the Red Green show.
@@meowjanet, I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut @OttoKilcher has watched Red Green. Steve (Red) would be right up his alley, entertainment-wise.
@@TACTICALNOMAD absolutely! No argument here!
Still got a pair, & a charter member bumper sticker for the Possum Lodge, lol!
Otto, I started watching you with my children in “Alaska the last frontier.” My children are grown and gone and I happen across your TH-cam video. I’m close to your age and remember living a similar life on the shore of Lake Superior. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman with a wealth of knowledge of boats and ships, and how to repair them. You need to pass your knowledge to younger people as you and I will be gone some day. My grandfather passed suddenly and his experience and knowledge went with him. Love your channel as it reminds me of when I grew up in a small fishing village in northern Michigan.
As someone who runs a repair shop on the side I can say that I truly enjoyed this video and seeing how you all came up with solutions to a problem. One cannot have the perfect tool for every situation and being able to improvise is a great skill a lot of modern machinists lack.
Fine precision craftsmanship Otto and crew!👍🏻
You are a wise man on those magnets you'd be surprised what he's already given us
I love seeing this type of repairs. The Alaskan way.
I'm beginning to think that there isn't any thing that Otto can't fix. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos.
I've never made it up to Alaska but it's always had a special place in my heart. My oldest brother lived up there for many years he owned a nice house outside Soldotna he was the Captain of a long liner fishing vessel on the Bearing sea for many years. We still have the videos he used to send home I remember always being really worried about him some of the videos out there were just wicked waves and weather. He ended up getting a divorce from his wife and they moved out of Alaska. He moved to Wyoming and then remarried and started driving semi for the fracking fields. And on one of his days off he was driving his pickup down the interstate and blew a front tire his truck rolled several times and he lost his life. That was 6 years ago now he was only 57 at the time the same age I will be this August. Sure miss him. Sorry for the long story but every time I see fishing vessels or anything about Alaska I always think of my brother
Sorry for your brother😢😢.
The one thing that you can always be assured is that your brother lived his life on his terms...living in Alaska.
@@lindahollister5530 Thanks
@@TACTICALNOMAD That he most certainly did
How can you not love Otto?!
I love watching machining. I ran a gear manufacturing company for 32 years. We solved many customers problems. That is what makes your video so attractive to me. You are showing people how to fix things, solve problems and your enthusiasm is part of the charm of your videos. Thank you for another great video.
BRAVO , THANK YOU OTTO , GREAT CREW - GREAT VIDEO. GREETINGS FROM CANADA.
Thanks K's ..... skills for the win.... kids ..... old folks know stuff !
The breadth of Otto’s knowledge never ceases to amaze me! Is there anything he doesn’t know how to fix/operate?? Right on Otto! Reminds me so much of my dad. Love watching him.
Perty cool seeing the old timers machine things with a home made Cnc machine. Great work! Take care
So glad I stumbled across this channel I truly miss the tv series
Otto, I love watching your videos no matter where you are! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
Very interesting technique facing off that flange in place. Well done sir .
When I was in Alaska that was fun for me I don't sleep well anyway. I was home I love Alaska. Want to get back so bad. Blessings to anyone who has spent time there. Me Wyoming to Alaska is for me.
Thanks for the ride along OK! Just shows you how friendship and craftmanship work hand in hand! Great job! Until you next post!
Another good one Otto Thanks for the video's 🇺🇲👍
That's pretty cool Otto.
I wonder how many other people would attempt to take 0.003" of bend out of a 12' shaft with a hammer. Not many.
Your experience gives you great confidence Otto.
I like your Red Green suspenders LOL
I miss that show wish they'd bring it back.
Thanks Otto, brings back memories from the late eighties when I worked in Ship building/Repair in Tasmania. we did a lot of work on fishing boats. even got to work on an icebreaker that tried to break rocks. didn't go so well for the icebreaker's twin props and rudders
@OttoKilcher (a.k.a. Red Green - I.Y.K.Y.K,) THANK YOU! Thank you for taking us along on these wonderful adventures. You truly are someone I could call neighbor and be proud to have as a neighbor, and I do not say that lightly nor glibly.
It's sad, but most people will never get to experience or understand how those who live in Alaska are a different breed, in a very good way, from the rest of America. Alaskans know that they need to rely on their fellow Alaskans to survive and sustain year round. I miss living in Alaska. I wish I had never left, and I most definitely want to go back. It's the only place that EVER felt like home.
It's also sad that Discovery never showed this part on Alaska: The Last Frontier. The true reality of daily life on an Alaskan Homestead. There surely would have been more viewers if this part of Alaskan life had been shown on the show.
Love watching him and his families keep on coming through to us. From ILLINOIS. Keep up the great advice and work.🎉🎉. This boat lift is so amazing to watch it move😂😂😂😂.
Always a Pleasure to see what you’re Working on. 👍🙏
Loved the machining on the engine side of the prop shaft, well done!
Fantastic job on straightening the shaft and flange. The machine shop I worked in straightened quite a few over the years 👍🇺🇸
Otto has a lot of Knowledge
ATLF would never have dedicated 15 of video to display your actual trade craft. Great clip, you're an artist Otto
It it's Otto I'm watching. Always great content , repairs, building , an other great content. It's very interesting an informative. Love the new channel, kelp healthy. Alabama's a big fan.
33+ years millwrighting in the lower 48 , simply outstanding !! Adapt and overcome !! Shaft straight within a half thousandth any better and I would have done it (lol) alaskan find machining is the perfect example of Git er done !! Great job young man !! God bless you
Field machining !! Stupid spell check
Enjoyed watching this. AMAZED that this is just generalized, random-access, day to day knowledge for you of how to fix stuff. Skills are being lost... Maybe you, the fam and others in the area could start a small "Homesteading Basic Skills School" 😯. That'd be cool 😎.
Great to see you working your magic!
Good job Otto. You're a great person
I enjoyed your video. It was interesting to see the process. Thanks for posting.
Too bad we can not be as friendly as YOU OTTO around the world that seems to thrive on distrust of another human being.
My Dad used to stand pennys on their edge while balancing wafferizers in the osb industry. Love the precision. Love the channel. Welcome back all Kilcher kin.
Very cool Otto, loved the machining of engine gland in place!
Cheers Warren

Nice work 👍👍 keep these videos coming
Otto - So glad to have found your channel on YT. I used to binge watch "The Last Frontier" on Discovery and was gutter when it ended. Good to see that we can still get a dose of fun this way :)
You are a very special person. Great work
Thanks for sharing man 👍
THE SWITCH ON THE MAGNET BOX JUST LIFTS AND LOWERS THE MAGNET INSIDE THE BOX.
Y'ALL ARE FUNNY
Otto do a equipment tour every time I watch you always have a new peace of equipment
That was crafty the way you faced that flange in the boat, I’m going to keep that one in the memory bank for sure.
You probably fished with my grandfather. He had a boat he used out there in the bay. Called the "Heidi ann" his name was Bob winningham. He and my father Robert would do it every year. Would be fabulous if I came across someone who knew him. We lost him about 20 years ago due to cancer.
Awesome, a man of many hats
Dr. Otto to the rescue 😅
Otto a smart dude. !
Hi Otto, I have been a fan of you and your many, many various abilities since the show first aired.
As always big respect from australia 🇦🇺
With a lifetime of experience; Otto is the man. A modern day true pioneer. Thanks for your video production, August. Your truly blessed to get to spend so much time with your Dad. Thank You for sharing your day.
🦘🇦🇺.Love watching your adventures. Great job 👏 👍❤.
Sweet bush repair.
Glad your back online
I love these fishing boats,I spent a summer on the kenai,in 2008,Homer was a favorite especially seldovia,I have a nice piece of artwork from seldovia too.
great video you guys!!
That was very cool. Thank you for sharing. Love the channel
Good job!!!!
Love how you did that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Land or by Sea, Otto is OK by me, cheers..
Check the fit and face of the coupling..? Never mind you’re checking now. Could it be an out of balance prop? Damn you never cease to amaze with your ingenuity. we do a lot of that here in Maine, we call it ” Yankee ingenuity” but facing an engine coupling in the boat… you’re a machine! I once had do drill a 2” stainless rudder stock with the boat in the water I used one of those magnet mounts and a go pro articulating tri-pod to hold my jury rigged oiler. Took two days of drilling and went through half a dozen Wal*Mart pillows and a stack of oil-sorb pads..

100% on the magnetism. They have it. It's much more fun for them to say.."drill baby drill".
Job could be done with hydrogen, but they wont give us that either.
Really glad to see you started a channel.
I feel lucky to be here at the beginning. :)
This channel is going to be huge.
God Bless!
Wow Otto…more great content. Your knowledge and grit for perfection is amazing! Not to mention I now know something about drive shafts😉
Nice job and insight into commercial salmon fishing in Bristol Bay.
I like a show about you and your adventures
good job boyz!

I love watching you I have a Friend that’s selling out in Homer he Works for NRA!
Nice red green suspenders.
Great job otto, entertaining,
It's pretty cool to learn new machining practices. Using that reshaped center drill and bar to face that couple was pretty cool !!
