@@ezrhino1803 That was a very lovely gift for Homey, guys. Personalised with name, job title and company logo. There are plenty of people all over the world who are jealous of Homey right now! Mark from Melbourne Australia.
@@markfryer9880 Hello Mark this is Geoff Lewis, you are dead right, Homey is a real STAR 🐕👍, it's a pity we dont see more of him, he appears to be a real character. And we all know Kurtis and the lady 💐💐think the world of him. Kurtis once said he will have a program of his own. We have a rescued Jack Russell female is 11 years old and a real monkey at times. Best wishes Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴.
When I tell my wife about your videos, she’s told me that I don’t talk about any other channel the way I go on about yours! I love the fact that I know I’m gonna learn something new.I know I’m gonna see an awesome doggo! And I get to sit back, coffee in hand and just ignore the rest of the world for a bit. And it’s really hard not to just go on and on about how the videos get better with each one. Kurtis your craftsmanship is honorable and honest, and Karen has gotten so good at the editing! Keep up the great work!
Hey mate! We just opened up a very nice set of pens. Thank you for the generous and bloody neat gift we really appreciate that and all your support. Did you make them?? Really like how the lid screws on to the end. I've picked the darker wood and Karen is already enjoying using her pen. Cheers, Kurtis & Karen
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I turn pens, just like the ones you have, I contacted Mark, in collaboration, since he is in your neck of the woods, he picked some Nice Aussie burl.... rib fruited mallee burl, and york gum burl i think. I’m really glad you like them! One day two of MY pens will land on your desk. That, I promise. There might even be a video made and posted. Until then, may the pens serve you well! God Bless, Rob.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering it really comes out one screen i am all the way in canada and it really shows every time he wags his tail or smiles chews on a toy i think what good boy
@@bigblocklawyer i am a Canadian and have always called them doggo's i had no idea it was Australian the more you know thank you for making me a little bit smarter
Cutting Edge Engineering has got a great group of engaged viewers. I like that there are not angry A-holes yelling about how something was done wrong. It's just happy people here enjoying this family friendly show. Great camera work and direction, and always happy to see your 4 legged co-star. Keep it up guys. Let's get a roll reversal with Curtis behind the camera and Karen ? Cooking? Gardening? Like an April Fools Episode.
The fact that this video is 45 minutes long is why I love this channel. TH-cam today is all about shorts and even other channels with massive projects make the video 11.5 minutes, skipping many steps and not showing the true effort that is involved. Thank you!
I agree. And you have to remember that this 45 minutes doesn't include the re-takes needed for missed words or dropped tools, both happen in reality to everybody.
Yes sir! At the age of 20, married. I worked in a small job shop.all these videos make my heart go fonder. But the things i learned I carry all the way to my 80th . God bless the small business man and those who work with their hands.
Yeah I was wondering how the aussies were holding up with the perpetual lock downs. Dont feel bad tho the rest of the world is falling into chaos with food riots in africa and mass protest all over Europe and south America for freedom. Its good to see the Aussies trudging right on along with it. At could be worse you could be in the US having to decipher and figure out what a giant potatoe is saying.
@@george8873 Yeah and dont forget about the retard from 00-08 or the harvard dropout from chiraq 08-16 either. American politicians are self centered egotistical sociopaths who only care about 2 things. Money and power. 😉
Gday Kurtis, without getting too soppy about it I’ve got a lot of motivation for work from your channel , my best mate of 20 years passed 6 months ago and I’m an apprentice boilermaker coming up to my fourth year and struggled since then to get the drive to work and have felt quite hopeless and disinterested at times. Your channel has helped spark me back up and give me the fight to get to work and still put in as much as I can. You’re a positive role model for young blokes getting into/already in the trade and you probably never counted on that but life turns out to be interesting and unexpected in more than one way. All the best to yourself Karen and homeless, love the content and thanks for producing it’s helped me out immensely, keep em coming 🤙🏻
We had a lathe near miss that made us change our ways. Just like you do here, that area on top of the spindle gear box behind the chuck is a perfect place to keep the T handle and all the hand tools in easy reach. The part we were cutting was a heavy interrupted cut and a lot of vibration, which made a couple of items fall into the chuck turning @ 550 rpm. It launched a T handle into a wall 40 feet away. It missed another lathe operator by 5 feet. Scared us to death. We added small tables next to each machine to keep all the tools and enforced a strict policy of keeping that area empty. I know it sounds like a freakish one time mistake, but if you could have seen how for that T handle made it into that cinder block wall, you would to. Just a friendly shop to shop bit of advice
Having tables to put tools on is a must have as it makes the working invironment just safer and more organized I am studying at a college now but worked in a machine shop to see hoe the machines worked and most of the tools wil always in the lathe chip pans and did not like it as it is always full of chips and keep looking for tools and me who was new was blamed for missing tools But it was fun
Looking for tools is particularly dangerous when the machine is running. A momentary inattention and you hog caught by moving parts. Put a hinged and flanged shelf between lathe chuck and headstock so things can’t fall onto the chuck. Make it hinged to access during chuck changes.
A good cautionary tale. I had one as a youth. We had a cabinet maker who used our walk-in basement for a small shop. We used to hang out as kids and learn some stuff about woodworking. One day he was cutting thin slices off a piece and a bit of wood slipped into the throat of the blade shield, ripped the aluminum shield out of the saw and into the concrete wall 20ft away It shattered on impact. Thankfully one of the rules he had taught us was never stand directly behind the running blade. Have always tried to follow best practices since.
I'm an old engineer down the bottom of Aus. past my mid 80s with an equally old lathe and mill that still get used. You don't have to bleep out the best words for us locals. I just re-live every moment of your procedures in that dream workshop, keep it up it fills in evenings beautifully. Love ya, Karen.
Kurtis, that is a beautiful finished piece. Loved getting to see all the shop made tools, especially that mig gun extension. My favorite part about this channel is seeing you be so safe and deliberate and wearing safety gear because I know it means you'll have a long and happy life doing what you are obviously so good at
My dad has been a master machinist for over 30 years and I love talking to him about the projects you do. It really gives us a new way to connect, and he loves talking about it! Big love from the land of good beer and fresh cheese! Ps homey is the cutest lump of muscle EVER

Yes exactly how I feel, being so close to very large rotating machines can make you really nervous, hats off to the lady 💐💐💐 for Karen skill to produce such clear and well positioned shots. Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK and 🏴.
I absolutely agree, Richard, I was about to write the same thing, but you got here first. Another excellent video, multiple angle, shots, tight cutting and resulting in an entertaining video that is a delight to see.
It amazes me that you can get that precision/concentricity when you flip the pipe around. The steady rest and chuck must be top notch I suspect? Thanks again for sharing! This is a treasure trove for hobby machinists like myself.
@@Hirokiji I have never been near any equipment like this but the idea all that fast moving steel and cutting equipment is just scary. Watching him work is a pleasure and to my untrained eye he seems to do it safely.
I work in an office. What we do is important but rarely interesting yet always stressful with deadlines. This channel relaxes me because what they do is real and he knows both exactly what he is doing and exactly how he is going to do it. Love the channel. ❤
I'm one of the many who enjoy all of the content on TH-cam but never hit subscribe, I just subscribed. My trade is quality engineering and advanced problem solving. Curtis is above and beyond anyone I have e seen in his field. His understanding of everything going on is completely mind blowing!
Secretly Karen starts TH-cam channel so Homeless can have some nice new toys and swag. Shhhhh Don't tell Kurtis. Loved to see how keyways are done and you were right about alot of machining. Another great video and time for bed. Night.
My father worked as a broach setter at AEI in Trafford Park in England for years and even though he actually took me into work one evening to explain how the broacking worked but I didnt really understand. He actually worked on the turbine for the Aswan damp project Thanks for posting this as it explains a lot.
Thanks again for the wonderful class on engineering by Curtis, except for the part of the end, which made me cry, Because we couldn't get to see the "CNC" Machine at work doing the intricate patterns, but I was quite impressed. Again Dr. Curtis came through with his magical skills of engineering and metallurgy. PS, I love the close-ups, you seem to know exactly when I want to stare at something and trance.
I follow several TH-cam sites and must say the video, audio and composition quality of your site is the best - and not by any small measure! My father was trained and apprenticed as a tool and diemaker in Germany and then immigrated to the United States in the 1930s and worked as a machinest for shops that specialized in heavy equipment fabrication and repair. He would love to see how his craft has advanced over the years. He once told me that the equipment he used was all driven by flat belts from overhead lineshafts suspended under the shop's ceiling - and no guards!
There is no other machining channel on youtube with a bigger star as a security officer... Every time my dog hears the starting sound of the lathe, he comes running to see officer Homeless doing his security check, and then he sits and watches it with me for any appearance of the security officer. I also like how the Internet send him gifts for every video, the internet really loves him. As usual, flawless machining from Kurtis, and TV production quality on the filming and editing, and the bonus, the blooper reel at the end, you are a great team.
Hey mate glad the vids are being enjoyed by you and your doggo, yeah Safety Officer is living his best life he's enjoying all the bonus attention and gifts that's for sure!
You three just get better and better. The camerawork and editing amazingly improves on perfection each week.👍👏 Diamond lapping your skills with every video. You deserve all the success the universe extends you. I hope it's rewarding you sufficiently. You def have what it takes to achieve your dreams. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Back in the 1960 I worked on a large construction site building two sections of the Victoria Line Tube line. This was the first time tunnel boring machines had been used to construct tunnels in London. The company had the foresight to set up a machine shop, blacksmiths and weld shop, any breakdown would delay the whole project and so the machine shop came into it's own with 24/7 working, so any part could made from steel stock kept on site. This saved any delays in getting material and relying on an outside shop. Some parts could be got from the TBM manufacturer but most were not off the shelf items. So enjoyed watching your video and it's brought back a lots of memories of The Good Old Days, thanks a lot for that. I drove CAT machines and the TBMs
Hi from Ireland. Great to see that there are still manual workshops around and hands-on trades and skills aren't being lost. There are a few too many CNC's and robots in industry these days!
IT IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO WATCH YOU WORK, IT IS ALMOST LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! I WAS A CUSTOM WOODWORKER FOR NEARLY 50YEARS AND EVEN THOUGH I AM RETIRED AND DISABLED,I STILL GET ON MY LATHE AND I MUST ADMIT I HAVE LEARNED A THING OR TWO ABOUT TURNING FROM YOU,EVEN THOUGH IT IS METAL WORK,THERE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS THAT ARE THE SAME AS FAR AS FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE S THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION AND ENJOYABLE VIDEOS, GIVE HOMEY A SCRATCH BEHIND THE EAR FOR ME!
Gday, interesting job, I’ve never seen a keyway broach that big before, certainly take some pressure to push it through, the extension on the mig gun is a good thing, Homey’s new blanket looks bloody awesome, he’s a lucky boy, have a great weekend mate, Cheers
Hey Matty! Was a good time for Homey to get that blanket been cold as shit up here 😂 yeah decent size keyway that one no problem for the 150T press. Take care mate
I was thinking "you know you're working on a big machine when you need an 18mm broach". P.S. I'm glad you hid your hand wound ... imagine the flak Homey would get if the public saw that!
Another reason why I am not in this field of work: I would have never thought of using the press itself to lower the "table". I would probably have tried something sketchy and drop it on my foot. Another great video! Really really want that blanket.
Special: A day in the life of a Safety Officer. Seriously. What he saw, thought, dreamed about and what to tear up next. That little bit at the end was the kicker. Meaning the best. Always a great production whatever you do.
That was a unique part. You have done a lot of work on this part. The wife and I love Homeless new blanket. That look when you sent him to the bed was priceless.
Love watching the out takes on the end of the Video ... I wonder if my Dear old Dad used all the colourful word's when he was using the Lathes at A.P.M.Maryvale ( Victoria ) when he was Shop Foreman ha ha ha ha ... I would have liked to be a fly on the wall way back then with the different camera's that we have in this day & age ... he is now just a memory as he is no longer with us ..
I’ve been deep diving this channel for a couple of weeks. The skill and integrity are self evident. Every episode I see cool ways to navigate different problems, and drool at all the cool tools! I’m enjoying the musical bits and would like some more?!
I really enjoy watching your videos the way you include your pit. I can see the closeness, we lost out pit this year to cancer, we battled it for a long time. I worked at a machine shop for many years myself. I really enjoy watching someone like yourself with the know how and the proper tools to do the job. One can see this is not your first Rodeo.
On this Chanel, I always hit the like button first. I’ve never watched one episode that I didn’t enjoy. Homey is a star and I can’t help comparing him to my Staffie. The out takes alone deserve a like. The camera work ( when it doesn’t end up in the coolant tank ) is fantastic and really gets into the action.
I’m not sure which I like better, the machining or the footage of Homeless. That is a lucky dog that you and Mrs. Kurtis found him and took him in. He seems to truly love being safety officer.
I really enjoy your videos and how you think about your work and plan it out, and then execute your plan. People don't realize how the world works because of people like you. I also love your shop and you always have the right tool for the job.
I always look forward to your CEE 'team' videos. I've learned so much from you perfectionists at work. It's no wonder you have a steady stream of work.
It’s really exciting to see you cutting on this massive stock. And as always, grand camera coverage. BUT! When you dropped the plug into the heated bore!
Hi Kurtis, would you mind making a video of what happens behind the scenes in the shop after you've finished jobs? Like, how you'd dispose of the chips, what kind of clean up and maintenance you'd have to do, how much material do you stock on hand, that sort of things?
Nothing shreds a knuckle like a fresh knurled feed roll! I used to work for a sawmill equipment manufacturer as a field service rep. Was always fun going into the machine shop and seeing these made
Curtis, you and your talented sweetheart create some of the most mesmerizing videos on the web! ALL of my family, girls & boys have at one time watched your exceptionally talented work. I rather anxiously await each new one ... as another of your fans said (paraphrasing..) "pull up a chair, pour a beer (or bourbon in my case.) and totally relax!!" Coming from a family of machinists, engineers and computer geeks, your work is relaxation to so many of us as well as a source of wonder and admiration.. Thank you both!!
This channel has to be one of my favorites if not my favorite channel on TH-cam. Your shop is only like 10 minutes from one of my brother's houses. To bad he moved from the US and I already had a family here in the states because I would have loved to be out there. Weathers been kinda cold I heard so I know he is loving his new blanket. I'm was a union millwright for 7 years and have done a lot of the things you are working on for people for side jobs so I know how awesome you are when you're able to make it look so simple. Very impressed with your videos and your cameraman/lady is amazing at getting the right shots. Keep up the great work.
Great stuff as always. Maybe I'm just a nerd but I really like a lot of the prep work like indicating and fixturing in addition to the heavy cuts. Any chance you can show us more of that in the future? Thanks!
Two questions for the next Q&A. 1: Why do you sometimes need coolant/lubrication and sometimes not? 2: Where do you store the scrap or where do you take it?
I’ll just settle down for the evening, shall I pull up a movie on Netflix. Not a chance! There is another video from you guys enjoy. Far more entertaining than any action flick.
Your channel is very, very, interesting. It's amazing to see you recycling broken components into as-new condition, and probably better than new in some cases. It would be great if you did a clip on how you got into this line of work and a little about where you learned the profession(art).
Brilliant work! I always thought key ways were cut with a shaper, learn something new every day. And your horizontal bandsaw makes mine look like a toy by comparison, it still beats a manual hacksaw or a grinder though! Top marks for all around, another fine video for us to watch and learn from so thanks!
You can do it on a lathe with preety easy tool to make .Also with some mods to it you can cut gears same way.Simple straight gears but still its a gear . . .
Love watching being an ex maintenance fitter turner and welder love your uncompromising work your skill is top notch and the size of your jobs are much bigger cheers
I must say that I really enjoy watching you work. With regard to milling the keyways, I had no idea how you were going to mill them but it certainly wasn't even close to the way you did it. Who would have thought you'd use a press? Cheers and thanks for the great videos.
Very cool end product. Pretty awesome that a company with CNC can send you a job like this. ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Blanket made for the “SAFETY OFFICER”. .. poor Homeless wasn’t sure if he should be laying on it. HE NEEDS A HEATING PAD too
God bless you and your family l see your videos and i remeber the time lwork the same job you work now every day is a challenge for develop skill develop new ideas for makes the job fast precise l work 40 year in diferent job but all related with machine shop l enjoy myself each that you work and to post in you tube for me is to remeber pleasant things in my life lwish you much success
Hoy los descubrí y me gustó mucho, excelente trabajo, soy tornero petrolero y también hago lo que ustedes hacen, los procedimientos son diría los mismos. Los felicito. Ah! Hermoso torno...bien robusto y moderno. Bye

It amazes me that you can get that precision/concentricity when you flip the pipe around. The steady rest and chuck must be top notch I suspect? Thanks again for sharing! This is a treasure trove for hobby machinists like myself.
He makes every job look so darn easy with his talent and brilliance!
@@stevepuyear2738 As someone who worked in structural steel fab decades ago. This young fella makes a dangerous and heavy job look easy on TH-cam.
@@Hirokiji I have never been near any equipment like this but the idea all that fast moving steel and cutting equipment is just scary. Watching him work is a pleasure and to my untrained eye he seems to do it safely.

I work in an office. What we do is important but rarely interesting yet always stressful with deadlines. This channel relaxes me because what they do is real and he knows both exactly what he is doing and exactly how he is going to do it. Love the channel. ❤
Nothing better than coming home after a stressful day running my kitchen, and watching a new vid of you three. You guys are awesome :)
Glad you enjoyed it mate and hope your weekend is better 😎👍
I'm one of the many who enjoy all of the content on TH-cam but never hit subscribe, I just subscribed. My trade is quality engineering and advanced problem solving. Curtis is above and beyond anyone I have e seen in his field. His understanding of everything going on is completely mind blowing!
Secretly Karen starts TH-cam channel so Homeless can have some nice new toys and swag. Shhhhh Don't tell Kurtis. Loved to see how keyways are done and you were right about alot of machining. Another great video and time for bed. Night.
🤣 her plan worked and Homey is one spoiled doggo haha thanks for watching mate
Spot on.
My father worked as a broach setter at AEI in Trafford Park in England for years and even though he actually took me into work one evening to explain how the broacking worked but I didnt really understand. He actually worked on the turbine for the Aswan damp project
Thanks for posting this as it explains a lot.
Thanks again for the wonderful class on engineering by Curtis, except for the part of the end, which made me cry, Because we couldn't get to see the "CNC" Machine at work doing the intricate patterns, but I was quite impressed. Again Dr. Curtis came through with his magical skills of engineering and metallurgy. PS, I love the close-ups, you seem to know exactly when I want to stare at something and trance.
Glad you enjoyed it mate! Yeah hopefully we get another chance for some bonus CNC footage. Thanks for watching and the great comment 😎👍
I follow several TH-cam sites and must say the video, audio and composition quality of your site is the best - and not by any small measure! My father was trained and apprenticed as a tool and diemaker in Germany and then immigrated to the United States in the 1930s and worked as a machinest for shops that specialized in heavy equipment fabrication and repair. He would love to see how his craft has advanced over the years. He once told me that the equipment he used was all driven by flat belts from overhead lineshafts suspended under the shop's ceiling - and no guards!
There is no other machining channel on youtube with a bigger star as a security officer...
Every time my dog hears the starting sound of the lathe, he comes running to see officer Homeless doing his security check, and then he sits and watches it with me for any appearance of the security officer.
I also like how the Internet send him gifts for every video, the internet really loves him.
As usual, flawless machining from Kurtis, and TV production quality on the filming and editing, and the bonus, the blooper reel at the end, you are a great team.
Hey mate glad the vids are being enjoyed by you and your doggo, yeah Safety Officer is living his best life he's enjoying all the bonus attention and gifts that's for sure!
It's a good thing I can watch your videos all day and all night long😂🎉😊
Back again for great repair 🤗
You three just get better and better. The camerawork and editing amazingly improves on perfection each week.👍👏 Diamond lapping your skills with every video. You deserve all the success the universe extends you. I hope it's rewarding you sufficiently. You def have what it takes to achieve your dreams. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Back in the 1960 I worked on a large construction site building two sections of the Victoria Line Tube line. This was the first time tunnel boring machines had been used to construct tunnels in London. The company had the foresight to set up a machine shop, blacksmiths and weld shop, any breakdown would delay the whole project and so the machine shop came into it's own with 24/7 working, so any part could made from steel stock kept on site. This saved any delays in getting material and relying on an outside shop. Some parts could be got from the TBM manufacturer but most were not off the shelf items.
So enjoyed watching your video and it's brought back a lots of memories of The Good Old Days, thanks a lot for that.
I drove CAT machines and the TBMs
CEE my haven of calm in stormy times! Time to relax and watch. Have a nice weekend everybody
Hope the coffee cup is lasting alright mate. Bring on the weekend ☕😎👍
I have said it before ……. I you are a machining artist! Your videos are so relaxing and every time I watch, I learn something new. Thanks
Hi from Ireland. Great to see that there are still manual workshops around and hands-on trades and skills aren't being lost. There are a few too many CNC's and robots in industry these days!
Thanks for watching!
Jmc engine rebuilding in pakistan compelet video th-cam.com/video/LNHfvpGh1NA/w-d-xo.html
exactly, mate!!!!!
the hands-on part of machine shops is gradually getting shoved to the wayside
IT IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO WATCH YOU WORK,
IT IS ALMOST LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
I WAS A CUSTOM WOODWORKER FOR NEARLY 50YEARS AND EVEN THOUGH I AM RETIRED AND DISABLED,I STILL GET ON MY LATHE AND I MUST ADMIT I HAVE LEARNED A THING OR TWO ABOUT TURNING FROM YOU,EVEN THOUGH IT IS METAL WORK,THERE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS THAT ARE THE SAME AS FAR AS FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE S
THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION AND ENJOYABLE VIDEOS, GIVE HOMEY A SCRATCH BEHIND THE EAR FOR ME!
Gday, interesting job, I’ve never seen a keyway broach that big before, certainly take some pressure to push it through, the extension on the mig gun is a good thing, Homey’s new blanket looks bloody awesome, he’s a lucky boy, have a great weekend mate, Cheers
Hey Matty! Was a good time for Homey to get that blanket been cold as shit up here 😂 yeah decent size keyway that one no problem for the 150T press. Take care mate
I was thinking "you know you're working on a big machine when you need an 18mm broach".
P.S. I'm glad you hid your hand wound ... imagine the flak Homey would get if the public saw that!
I love watching Aussie engineering just don’t see that kinda craftsmanship nearly as much over here anymore, much respect from the uk 👍
Another reason why I am not in this field of work: I would have never thought of using the press itself to lower the "table". I would probably have tried something sketchy and drop it on my foot.
Another great video! Really really want that blanket.
That actually is the design feature to move the heavy table to a new set of rods, we had that on a 200T enerpac press years ago.
We make them here in the states.
Special: A day in the life of a Safety Officer. Seriously. What he saw, thought, dreamed about and what to tear up next. That little bit at the end was the kicker. Meaning the best. Always a great production whatever you do.
Love the growl of approval when the pup got the blanket.
That was a unique part. You have done a lot of work on this part. The wife and I love Homeless new blanket. That look when you sent him to the bed was priceless.
Love watching the out takes on the end of the Video ... I wonder if my Dear old Dad used all the colourful word's when he was using the Lathes at A.P.M.Maryvale ( Victoria ) when he was Shop Foreman ha ha ha ha ... I would have liked to be a fly on the wall way back then with the different camera's that we have in this day & age ... he is now just a memory as he is no longer with us ..
No doubt he was fluent in workshop talk 😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Effluent as well. Lol.
I don’t mind a few commercials when it’s craftsmanship such as this. Great job brother🫡🫵🏻🤓
I’ve been deep diving this channel for a couple of weeks. The skill and integrity are self evident. Every episode I see cool ways to navigate different problems, and drool at all the cool tools! I’m enjoying the musical bits and would like some more?!
you’re not alone there, because i am always massively impressed with Kurtis’ work ability and his incredible ingenuity in machining parts and pieces
I really enjoy watching your videos the way you include your pit. I can see the closeness, we lost out pit this year to cancer, we battled it for a long time. I worked at a machine shop for many years myself. I really enjoy watching someone like yourself with the know how and the proper tools to do the job. One can see this is not your first Rodeo.
*pulls up chair, pours beverage*
Right, the world can piss off for the next 45 minutes
Sorted! 🍻😎👍
He makes his own tools to do jobs others can't do because they don't have the tools. A simple but effective business plan.
This puppy is so beautiful, wonderful, a thing that can’t be said!
On this Chanel, I always hit the like button first. I’ve never watched one episode that I didn’t enjoy. Homey is a star and I can’t help comparing him to my Staffie. The out takes alone deserve a like. The camera work ( when it doesn’t end up in the coolant tank ) is fantastic and really gets into the action.
So sweet to see and especially hear homey's appreciation for his new bed cover!
I’m not sure which I like better, the machining or the footage of Homeless. That is a lucky dog that you and Mrs. Kurtis found him and took him in. He seems to truly love being safety officer.
Cutting Edge Dundee: "That's not a broach. THIS is a broach."
I must be your same age, old, because I was thinking the same when Curtis pulled out his knife to open the Amazon box.
The ole knifey spooney
@@iant419 only knifey brochy
Yep.
Been watching some of ya'lls older videos.
Yall have gotten so much better together. Keep it up.
thank you!
Great start to a Friday, CEE & IC Weld posting new videos 👍
Awesome stuff we watched Isaacs new vid 😎👍
CEE AND IC Weld👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The work and video quality is superb, but honestly I'd watch just for the safety officer. Makes me smile watching that little guy.
That last shot of Safety Officer hanging his head, i know that feeling!
That's the don't want to go back to work feeling 😂
I really enjoy your videos and how you think about your work and plan it out, and then execute your plan. People don't realize how the world works because of people like you. I also love your shop and you always have the right tool for the job.
I always look forward to your CEE 'team' videos. I've learned so much from you perfectionists at work. It's no wonder you have a steady stream of work.
A great video! Now this is what I think TH-cam is all about! Seeing things that you could go all your life and not see!!
Wow…….the final finish was incredible………and the key way broach process was incredible to watch. Nice job!
Thanks for watching mate
I love this stuff. I'm long retired and out of the game, but I still learn lots....
The sound of a smooth running lathe is so satisfying.
I enjoy the attention to detail and the use of technology that you use to create my opinion pieces of art in metal
It’s really exciting to see you cutting on this massive stock. And as always, grand camera coverage. BUT! When you dropped the plug into the heated bore!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Another 3 M video: METAL MACHINE MASTERY. Thanks. Your videos are always interesting. Greetings from Ohio, USA.
It just hit me how well your videos are filmed and edited. They flow so we'll. Awesome content. 👍
Whoever is doing the camera work is doing a great job when it comes lighting and perspective!! Seriously!!
Hi Kurtis, would you mind making a video of what happens behind the scenes in the shop after you've finished jobs? Like, how you'd dispose of the chips, what kind of clean up and maintenance you'd have to do, how much material do you stock on hand, that sort of things?
Nothing shreds a knuckle like a fresh knurled feed roll!
I used to work for a sawmill equipment manufacturer as a field service rep. Was always fun going into the machine shop and seeing these made
Homie AKA Mr. Big nutz is the sunshine of my life. Such a precious little angel.
Curtis, you and your talented sweetheart create some of the most mesmerizing videos on the web! ALL of my family, girls & boys have at one time watched your exceptionally talented work. I rather anxiously await each new one ... as another of your fans said (paraphrasing..) "pull up a chair, pour a beer (or bourbon in my case.) and totally relax!!" Coming from a family of machinists, engineers and computer geeks, your work is relaxation to so many of us as well as a source of wonder and admiration.. Thank you both!!
Aww man. That is a shame with the go pro, the end result looked pretty gnarly.
Yeah would've been cool to get some of that one video hopefully we get another job like it haha
That is a monster boring bar and I love it. You guys do great work and your lady is a master videographer.
I stayed up very late for this, and I wasn’t disappointed 🥰😍❤️
Thanks mate we appreciate that support!
This channel has to be one of my favorites if not my favorite channel on TH-cam. Your shop is only like 10 minutes from one of my brother's houses. To bad he moved from the US and I already had a family here in the states because I would have loved to be out there. Weathers been kinda cold I heard so I know he is loving his new blanket. I'm was a union millwright for 7 years and have done a lot of the things you are working on for people for side jobs so I know how awesome you are when you're able to make it look so simple. Very impressed with your videos and your cameraman/lady is amazing at getting the right shots. Keep up the great work.
Great stuff as always. Maybe I'm just a nerd but I really like a lot of the prep work like indicating and fixturing in addition to the heavy cuts. Any chance you can show us more of that in the future? Thanks!
Best 45 minutes and 29 seconds of the day. Thanks.
Is there anyone else who hits the like button first and then watch the video. I do.
Legend! Thanks mate we appreciate that
All are good.
Yep I do. I know the content is going to be fantastic. Being a retired machinist.
Yh
I did not realize I did that until reading this comment but yea
Поосто высший пилотаж ! 🤌 Смотрю ваши видео на одном дыхании
Two questions for the next Q&A. 1: Why do you sometimes need coolant/lubrication and sometimes not? 2: Where do you store the scrap or where do you take it?
I’ll just settle down for the evening, shall I pull up a movie on Netflix. Not a chance! There is another video from you guys enjoy. Far more entertaining than any action flick.
Your channel is very, very, interesting. It's amazing to see you recycling broken components into as-new condition, and probably better than new in some cases. It would be great if you did a clip on how you got into this line of work and a little about where you learned the profession(art).
Well I see that she keeps you in line and is a true producer. Love watching your channel and listening to the outtakes. Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant work! I always thought key ways were cut with a shaper, learn something new every day.
And your horizontal bandsaw makes mine look like a toy by comparison, it still beats a manual hacksaw or a grinder though!
Top marks for all around, another fine video for us to watch and learn from so thanks!
Hey mate! Yeah most common a slotter or shaper to cut keyways but we don't have either of those setup so press works pretty well 😎👍
You can do it on a lathe with preety easy tool to make .Also with some mods to it you can cut gears same way.Simple straight gears but still its a gear . . .
Love watching being an ex maintenance fitter turner and welder love your uncompromising work your skill is top notch and the size of your jobs are much bigger cheers
Thanks 👍
Those closing shots of Homey just make the video - he looks so, so comfy :-)
Thankyou Karen and Curtis for all the awesome content. Love all your videos and that doggo is my absolute favorite celebrity on youtube.
14:00 - CEE is well and truly a blue chip company... well done! :-)
Quite a team. Skilled machinist and expert camera lady. Also staring Homey the wonder dog. Great to watch.
I must say that I really enjoy watching you work. With regard to milling the keyways, I had no idea how you were going to mill them but it certainly wasn't even close to the way you did it. Who would have thought you'd use a press? Cheers and thanks for the great videos.
Hey mate thanks for watching glad it was enjoyed 😎👍
Very cool end product. Pretty awesome that a company with CNC can send you a job like this.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Blanket made for the “SAFETY OFFICER”. .. poor Homeless wasn’t sure if he should be laying on it. HE NEEDS A HEATING PAD too
Top demais, grande aula...todo dia a gente aprende algo novo, sou torneiro mecanico, aprendi demais nesse vídeo...
God bless you and your family l see your videos and i remeber the time lwork the same job you work now every day is a challenge for develop skill develop new ideas for makes the job fast precise l work 40 year in diferent job but all related with machine shop l enjoy myself each that you work and to post in you tube for me is to remeber pleasant things in my life lwish you much success
It lifts my spirits here in the US, just have to stay up till midnight to see it lol (worth it) :-)
What a legend! The time difference is crazy thanks for watching so late/early mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 04:46 here in Brazil, your videos are a great way to wake up early on friday =)
Hoy los descubrí y me gustó mucho, excelente trabajo, soy tornero petrolero y también hago lo que ustedes hacen, los procedimientos son diría los mismos. Los felicito. Ah! Hermoso torno...bien robusto y moderno. Bye
Bem-vindo ao nosso canal! Estamos muito felizes em ter você aqui amigo!
