  • We’re taking a quick trip to Sydney for the Australian Manufacturing Week expo and we also check out the Sydney harbour bridge, opera house and tour the National Maritime Museum! The Australian Manufacturing week is once a year and is a great opportunity to see the latest innovations in tooling and machinery for metal work and manufacturing. We had some spare time so decided to do a bit of sight seeing and walked to see the Sydney harbour bridge and opera house at night. The next day we decided to visit the National Maritime Museum which has a lot of historical displays and galleries. We got to go on board and explore the HMAS Vampire gun ship, HMAS Onslow submarine and the replica of Captain Cook’s HMB Endeavour ship. We hope you enjoy this travel vlog of our trip to Sydney!

      @@CuttingEdgeEngineering In fact it looks a bity silly when a grown man mumbles to a camera making some uncoordinated gestures in public places. I'm talking in general about adult youtubers not you, Kurtis. It suits only few people, like @Tom Scott or your compatriot @Beau Miles. Others often look comical.
      Your normal, i.e. repair, videos have this specific atmosphere of intimacy - we really feel like special guests invited to your workshop. While "lifestyle" and other similar shit often shouts "montetization". I'm glad that you are aware of this and avoid that kind of youtube activity.

    Karen, you might not know it, but you just made the best Video for this trade show on your own, your voicover voice is calm, clear, and as a bonus, it's not the first time you use those technical terms.
    I also enjoyed the touristy part of the video, nice filming and nice information.
    You could absolutely make more voiceovers professionally, especially in this field, but in general too, but someone needs to film Kurtis, edit out his blunders, and most importantly play with homeless, so you might not have time for that

    It was great seeing you both in Sydney. Happy to see you both take some time out of your busy schedule to relax and take a breather. Karen, excellent voice over and narration. You need to do more of this, we could listen to you all day. Fun facts, the Haas machines shown at 4:39 and 8:34 are our machines going to Melbourne Polytechnic. We are also getting one of those robot arms and VF2 VMC 8:40 that young Travis from Haas was demonstrating. Funny to note that he was one of my high school engineering students back in 2012 LOL. Shame I didn't see you guys at the Sutton wine mixer on Wednesday night. Don't worry, I suffered the next day with a hangover for that 😂 Look forward to seeing you both in Melbourne next year. Cheers, Aaron.

    Another great video ..I'm from Sydney and my father was a highly skilled welding supervisor if he was still alive he would have loved your channel. As a apprentice and young boilermaker tradesman he worked on a couple of Daring class destroyers during their manufacture , they where fully welded construction much of it by hand. Years later in the mid to late seventies he was chosen to be welding supervisor on the on-site fabrication needed to assemble the Sydney Tower. You showed it in the video it was cutting edge metallurgy for it's time . The steel was a special alloy that's oxide was weatherproof requiring no painting for its entire lifetime. Most of the fabrication was done off site but he was involved in fitting and welding the individual barrel sections on site . Alll welds where 100% xray checked and he received a bonus on the end of the job as welding flaws where much less than they expected using new techniques and equipment. He also did alot of water board tanks and oil refinery tanks fully welded the horizontal welds where done both sides simulataously using a automatic welding device and submerged arc technology. All the vertical welds where done by hand stick welding the welding machines where Lincoln bullets 400amp for stick 800 amp for the submerged arc auto machines. I'm a sparky and as a young guy worked on some of the big Lincoln welding machines old but proven reliable for on site jobs. Anyway thanks for the video good to see you and your lady out of the workshop and enjoying Sydney.

      Cook picked what became the Endeavour for very good reason. He needed a ship that was tough to survive where he was going and he didn’t really know where that was. The Great Barrier Reef was nearly their undoing when he found they were trapped and ran onto the coral ripping a hole in the hull. They managed to get a sail round underneath and save their ship till they found a suitable place to get the ship out of the water and fix the damage. The Reef is about 200km out to sea at Gladstone and funnels down to nothing. He was a master mariner, he got them all home. Jeff

    Interesting change of pace in this video. Sydney sure looks like a beautiful city. Most major cities in the US have gone to hell, being infested with aggressive bums/junkies living on the streets. I'm not sure how/why we allowed this to happen, but we did.

      As governor DeSantis pointed out, Australia is an authoritarian state that has stripped it of freedom. The 60,000 COVID deaths in Florida more than Australia's is small price to pay for his protecting Florida's freedom, just as the thousands of firearm deaths of American children is a small price to pay to avoid the authoritarian firearm control in America.

      How do I get the picture of Kurtis & Karen doing some fancy shoe shopping in a big ass PPE shop out of my head now?
      Being fond of high quality gear myself, I can get lost for hours on end when around such a shop.
      Or (back when they were still german) in a big WMF shop browsing for nice stuff... Funny when the sales rep approach you and offer "a coffee and biscuits while your wife does the shopping" and you respond "Nah, she's the one for the coffee, I'm the shopping queen" )

    Thanks for the memories. I was there for your Navy Anniversary in either 1985 or 1986. The Sydney Bridge is jaw dropping amazing. I went across it 3 or 4 times and around the base of it on all side equally as many. Saw the Opera House, visited the local restaurants and had a famous Aussi beer or two. Went to the live zoo and heard the ?bell? birds as one of my most intriguing animals to see. During the Navy Anniversary there were ships from all around the World. My ship was the USS Blue Ridge LCC 19, the Oldest Active US Navy ship, except for Iron Sides which is a wooden ship with sails. Some day, I'll make another visit to Down Under.

I had the opportunity on weekends to travel on the Great Ocean Road, trips to Philips Island, and all areas in between and I have to say the people are the friendliest and the scenery is exceptional. Especially the Great Ocean Road! My wife joined me for a weeks vacation on one trip and she feels the same. Great country and people.
