    Very considerate of you guys always adding insert clips of what parts need repairs off what heavy vehicles. It changes the perception of what is repaired. Very informative. Thanks for going that extra bit for us.

      Let me interject. A lot of people may not understand the full extent of the service that you provide. 1> savings on purchasing new parts. 2> savings on freight charges 3> savings on down time (customers lose a large amount of money in most cases for every hour that their machine sits, not working) It's a no Brainer. Turn around time is got to be the most expensive. 4> The customer can actually watch the process on TH-cam. They can view the professionalism as well as the ingenious methods that Curtis professes. Not to mention all the expensive machinery that takes regular maintenance. Curtis is always updating his machines as well as techniques that he alone has systematically introduced. His knowledge is vast and his work ethic is unsurpassed.

    Hi, guys! It's great to see the tools you have created and acquired being put to use on your paying jobs. And it gives your customers the luxury of working with a trusted "one-stop shop" they can rely on to quickly service and restore worn hydraulic cylinders and other crucial parts with a quick turnaround. Brilliant.

    Normally I find unboxing videos inane but homeless nailed it right there.
    I made bore welder many years ago to eliminate having to set up and break down of the line boring machine. It was essentially similar to your boring bar but had the feed thread cut into the bar itself and ran in bronze bushings and a fixed nut. Threads were left with a large flat at the crest, mitigating wear. A 3mm pitch is optimal for layer buildup. Driving the bar was done via a simple gear train with an idler acting as a clutch which also allowed manual rasing and lowering of the bar using a hand wheel. Wire feed was an old mig welder wire feeder and the spool was also attached to the bar top so everything went around with the bar. This arrangement eliminates the wire flicking caused by the wind up using a fixed spool and rotating contact tip. Cut off wheels make excellent draught excluders simply held up to the bore bottom. They also create a pool of shielding gas in the bore which is good for arc stability. Side benefit was not havng to constantly cut new wire liners.

    It's awesome to see businesses like yours that are successful, and knowing exactly why that is.
    At the foundation you have integrity (the most important trait, doing what's right even when nobody else is looking), communication (fundamental in every kind of relationship), determination, you share your extensive knowledge, and an outstanding sense-of-hunor!

    When you built the fixtures for the welder, in a previous video, I didn't fully understand the intended use. Wow, bore, weld and finish bore with only one setup of the workpiece. BRILLIANT! I'm sure you have additional uses for them as well. Well done Mate.

    Greeting from Belgium CEE team, another Friday morning, so let's start the day with a CEE video and a cop of coffee 🙂. Talking about heavy V-blocks, In one of HAL's video's they make a reference to Kurtis on how they took Kurtis idea and fabricated there own 🤣.
    Have a restful weekend.

    Watching the shop grow has been a right buzz and I'm grateful for the Giggle Girls effort to show it at its best...ta Karen. Can't comment without mentioning the Teeth and Muscle. If Homey had thumbs he'd be unstoppable....great stuff all round.
