I don’t know if the average person would understand the intelligence that you display in the way you do the things that you do. You are way above average and I love the problem solving skills that you have. I hope that you make the millions that someone of your competence level deserves.
Oliver, once again you have worked with great skill and precision. I have worked with top of the range cnc machine tools that cost a fortune and are ultra precise however, whenever you have to reach in or over you get chatter and vibration. You do an amazing job with what you have. I just love your honesty and talking us through your thought process and problem solving. Thank you.
Brilliant video, Olly. Impeccable problem solving and on the fly tool making to deliver the finish needed and desired outcome. It's agricultural engineers like yourself that are a key factor and backbone of farming in Britain
Outstanding problem-solving skills and a delightful way to spend an hour on a Sunday morning - thank you! I'm mindful of the fact that you'll have spent an inordinate amount of time and effort to film and edit this video. Your work is at least equal to Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering in Brisbane, where not only does he have an amazingly well-equipped (and warm) workshop, but also his wife to film and edit the video. Thank you very much for posting such interesting and educational content. Your videos just get better and better, I never want them to end!
@@jamesdrake2378 Agreed! When I found myself fast-forwarding through Abom's more recent videos, I'm sorry to write that I stopped watching his channel.
Aye, and not only that he has farm work to do as well and often does these jobs on his days off so in my opinion he deserves the CDM (Cadburys Dairy Milk) award for these films.😊
This video shows exactly what machine shops are up against when doing repairs. Sometimes it takes you a day or two just to make setup so you can actually work on the part. And you may not need this setup again for couple of years. You got a great set of skills. Enjoy watching your videos.
I hope that your customers watch these videos and appreciate what is involved in making what could be perceived as a simple repair. Thanks for taking us along.
The shared thought process is the stuff you can not learn from Books. Now I know why to always bore Centers in Cylinders that will be part of heavy duty machinery . best Thing: Now you have all the tools you need for the next similar job! Thanks for the education and entertainment.Much apreciated! LOVE the swoof🤓
What an amazing amount of problem solving, especially given the ridiculous geometry you've been tasked to work with. Obviously, this implement was never meant to be repaired. Great job!!
Not perfect? I think that job was a lot more perfect than it needed to be!! An adjustable support at the outer end of your boring rig down to the floor may help to reduce chatter. It is amazing how much solid steel will flex if you hang a weight in the right place! Another really enjoyable watch displaying your superhero skill level! Phil.
Well done , this was a real simple bit of equipment with a problem that resulted in a lot of complex problem solving and the fabrication of specialized tooling to do the fix. I think you did a really good job of the whole project. I hope you get paid well for all the effort you put into fixing this! Thanks for taking us along on the journey! I am a retired engineer and enjoy watching your progress.
45:48 maybe another three legged support same as the one bolted to the legs you welded to the roller. That should stabilise the cutting shaft holder to reduce movement. I’m sure you will have a multitude of modifications over the years to perfect your line borer. Changing the cutting tool center height made a big difference there was more cutting less rubbing. 👍👏🚜
I’ve always enjoyed your videos, but this one had me mesmerised. It took me awhile to comprehend your methodology and thinking, but minute by minute it came clearer. ( I’ve put it down to old age and brain fade) I take my hat off to you. There’s a machinist on the other side of the pond, publishing content using multi million machines, that is nowhere near this . What you achieve in your workshop is remarkable. The job doesn’t need to be pretty so long as it’s functional and better than it was originally. You must be proud of your achievements given the trials and tribulations that was thrown to you over the days.
Great job, and I think far more precision than needed. Given that that roller thing doesn't seem to be powered, but is just rolling along the ground, I think no one would notice if your centre was 5 mm off.
As usual all the time goes into making the jig, let’s hope there is another one to do sometime in the future! Cracking job, personal I would have filled it with some bearing fit 😂😂
Where most would have given up, Snowball figures out a way. Impressive!! It seems like some support on the other end of your line-boring rig would have helped. If your fabrication table extended out under the line-boring setup, and there was a way to brace the hanging end so it isn't hanging, it might cut down on the wobbling. I'm sure you'll continue to improve the design, and I'm here for it.
Niby prosta naprawa a ile czasu ,wiedzy i cierpliwości potrzeba aby robota była wykonana prawidłowo. Przecież to tylko proste narzędzie do uprawy ziemi , nie musi być piękne ale skuteczne. Super !😀
You can make it more rigid by replacing the washer on the capscrew that's holding the tool holder. Make up one that's 10mm x the width of the tool holder holder. If that makes sense. Great job and great channel.
Had to listen a couple of times at the beginning because I was trying to get my head around what you were doing, absolute genius of an idea, no wonder I couldn't understand it at 1st. 😂😂
Oliver, what a great project to share, showcasing your ingenuity and skills. Love your format and practical approach. Hope your channel will get the love it deserves this year.
We knew from the start that your idea about being true would be fine. You take a lot of tie to think about the best way to attack each job. They always come out10/10 great work, really enjoy watching you work, thanks Andy Australia
You are a very clever lad, Oliver. Well done! Your simple solutions to problems are really outstanding! Hope you're saving your pence (pennies) for a larger shop! 😉
That collar idea to preserve enough shaft to align a repair jig is clever engineering. Leaving a center drilled in the end would have been a courtesy too, but you can't expect everything from manufacturers.
Hey Oliver, very nice, well done. For this type of work i love the horizontal boring mill tho 😅 maybe for more rigidity put a roller stand on the far end where your drive motor sits, it could help the flexing of the entire boring setup. Or try for a finish pass a razor sharp ground aluminium insert or hss toolbit and take of only a small amount to get a good surface finish. For this application it is good enough considering the amount of wear and that it was in use with a couple mil undersize 😊 Greetings from Germany, Chris
@@snowballengineering good to hear it worked for you 😊👍. For me almost the only reason to have aluminium inserts, as most of my work is steel. But they do come in handy in some setups where rigidity and stickout is an issue 😝
Hi Oliver😊 good problem solving mate, and a nice repair on a difficult piece, making fixtures as you go. Those hailstones were impressive as well, glad you got power back on these storms have been pretty wild. Cheers mate stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Some careful thought and planning to get the job done. The set up and extra tooling must be the biggest task in job like this. Nice solid repair. Thanks for sharing your work. Brian from South Yorkshire.
Doing more with less , extremely well done . I've seen machine shops with very high end machinery get the same results as you have produced . Great video and I'll be a loyal subscriber . Good night from central Arkansas here in the United States .
NIce work Ollie. Love the home? made line borer...I might have to make me a copy as I have a 1970s vibrating roller that needs the stubs repaired. Regards chatter - maybe support the end of the boring assembly as already suggested, and rough out with a tip tool but then switch to a purpose ground square bar HSS cutter with high rake angle and sharp but radiused tip. Tip tools need higher speeds for better finish and I think the HSS option would improve the finish at lower speeds. Using some cutting lubricant on the final cuts too may further assit. Carry on the great work....cheers P from NZ
Great repair job on another unusual piece of equipment. Can't wait to see your next job. Your weather is pretty much like the Midwest weather in US recently, hopefully it gets better soon for you.
Great job Oliver! I like your set ups. I agree with you about "it's close enough". Slow rotating vibrations are not an issue. I am sure the jig you made will become very useful in the future when worn shafts come in for repair. Keeo up the great work!
Australia has Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering, we have Ollie at Snowball Engineering. No useless waffle these two just get on with it and show us how it’s done. Very talented people.
Very impressive line boring setup. I don't think people understand what it takes to get this right and how much it costs in time and materials. A set of metric 8mm taps for example, hugely expensive. I hope you charge customers appropriately for your skill and time. I think getting the whole roller to run true on rollers is very difficult as the wear and out of round are not only affected by welding but also by the nature of the work that the roller does. Well done, thanks for the video.
As we have come to expect, imaginative fixturing and in-process problem analysis and correction. Thank you for taking the time to film and share it. Lovely weather you're having as well 🙄 Pretty sloppy here in the Northeastern US as well if it's any consolation. Have a great day!
Yes, its a bit like putting up a farm shed, if the levels of the steelwork isn’t absolutely level, square and straight etc the rest of the work roofing, sheeting, floors and blocking/ panelling round it is a pain in the neck from start to finish for whoever has to do it. If the ancient Egyptians can level those pyramids to within a few millimetres so should we.
Ive missed a couple of your uploads, just no time to sit an enjoy them. Off work today, just me and the baby, time to relax with some snowball engineering
That is an amazing job Oliver, and interesting too. As they say "Its Not In The Book" you really did need to figure that one out yourself. All the best from down the road - Newark.
Nice medium sized hail there, hopefully it didn't cause any damage. From time to time here in various parts of Australia, we get golf ball and cricket ball sized hail, which does a lot of damage to vehicles and buildings. Fortunately it's around 30 years since we had large hail here, it was when our house was being built and the builder got his van dented. We were in town at the time and there was no hail there.
On the lathe stick a piece of bar stock in the chuck. Put indicator base on headstock and indicate vertical spindle play as you lift the barstock. You may need to get in the manual and the headstock and tighten the preload on the spindle bearings. Aim for 10 to 15 inch pounds of breakaway rotational force. That is about one foot pound. A 24 inch bar centered in the chuck with one pound hanging from the end.
That must have been one of the most complicated repairs you've had in, needing to make all sorts of adaptors to be able to get the job done. After you fitted the bearing, I was wondering how the shaft got worn in the first place, seeing that the bearing is supposed to be a tight fit on the shaft. Once again, you nailed the job and once the other end is done, the packer roller will be back in service again. At least if you get another one of these in for the same repair, you are pretty much set up for the job.
Big storms here in Australia recently and some people were without power for up to two weeks. We lost power here a few weeks ago for about four hours before they got it back on again. It's really annoying when there is a power outage, it pretty much means you can't do much, as we really rely on the power for almost everything. Last year, they were replacing power poles in our area and every week we had a day with no power for most of the day. Necessary maintenance, but still inconvenient.
Awesome job as always...I don't think anyone has a clue on how long a job takes especially when it's a 1 off like u do most the time I do hope u charge your we all know how it goes u set the timer but forget to turn it off lol lol keep up the good work luv the content thks for your time ....
Great job. The stub shaft was obviously not designed to be serviceable (for obvious reasons). I bet your customer could buy a very fancy grease gun and a lot of grease for the cost of this repair.
@@Frank-Thoresen I agree. I have a farmer in the family and I know loads of Farmers. I have a smallholding and occasionally buy used, small, farm equipment. All of the stuff I have seen has suffered from severe lack of attention similar to the shaft on this cultivator.
@@nascodigorgio6121 Maybe. However I also know that the guy who founded Sumo and designed a lot of these cultivators is known for building stuff that is over engineered rather than the opposite. At least thats what I am told by some farmer friends who know him well.

Huge respect mate, your work and ethos are second to none, really look forward to your videos
Another great repair job and your problem solving well done again
Great video 👍 If you modify the cutter holder by turning it down with a eccentric offset on it's shaft you can find tune the centre offset .
Hello just thought id say what a great piece of engineering.... excellent 👍
Lots of challenges to overcome well done very skillful thanks.
Olá amigo mais um trabalho realizado muito bom!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
On the lathe stick a piece of bar stock in the chuck. Put indicator base on headstock and indicate vertical spindle play as you lift the barstock. You may need to get in the manual and the headstock and tighten the preload on the spindle bearings. Aim for 10 to 15 inch pounds of breakaway rotational force. That is about one foot pound. A 24 inch bar centered in the chuck with one pound hanging from the end.
Great setup! Keep up the good work and BeSafe!
You sure have some large drills and reamers, but then again, you need them for the jobs you get in.
That must have been one of the most complicated repairs you've had in, needing to make all sorts of adaptors to be able to get the job done. After you fitted the bearing, I was wondering how the shaft got worn in the first place, seeing that the bearing is supposed to be a tight fit on the shaft. Once again, you nailed the job and once the other end is done, the packer roller will be back in service again. At least if you get another one of these in for the same repair, you are pretty much set up for the job.

Very nice bit of engineering. Good job!
Great job. The stub shaft was obviously not designed to be serviceable (for obvious reasons). I bet your customer could buy a very fancy grease gun and a lot of grease for the cost of this repair.
Most farmers are known to ignore basic maintenance. Use the equipment till it breaks and fix it, while they complain about how long the repair takes 😄
it most probably had a poor construction, the tolerance of the pin fit was wrong, it had to be a tight fit due to circumferential load
@@Frank-Thoresen I agree. I have a farmer in the family and I know loads of Farmers. I have a smallholding and occasionally buy used, small, farm equipment. All of the stuff I have seen has suffered from severe lack of attention similar to the shaft on this cultivator.
