    Hi Oliver , I used to fabric large frames etc on a 10” bed plate , we just used dowel pins that fitted in the 10” grid slots and pushed the job up to them to square up etc , I think you could just turn some top hat dowels that drop in those machined holes would be much quicker then to just push the frame up to 👍

    Spacing... I know this problem well. Stair baluster spacing. Dry fit and where possible, start in the middle.
    Time is fleeting! Ten years seems like a lot, but not on the other side! Use your time wisely... I've had customers complain that my price was too high and I tell them "my time is valuable"!
    Harvest time! I've seen the CLAAS equipment a lot lately!

      It’s weird how to many folk the idea that a skilled trades person will price their work (and therefore time) at the sweet spot to keep themselves neither idle (too expensive) nor over worked (too cheap). It’s a pretty simple concept when you give it just a little thought!

    oli, when doing an infill such as those grates come in from both sides and meet in the middle. if its bit out looks fine in middle and doesn't make them 'handed'. when meeting in middle you can spread the discrepancy over couple gaps not just one.

    Good bit of work and harvest time is my favourite time 🕰️ at least if anything breaks, you have skills to fix 😜 Oh and I’ve seen one of those laser cleaners 2000 watts power on a US plant channel they had a demo of. Usual Chinese company but it worked well taking off rust/paint and especially on difficult areas where you can’t get a grinder in. Good for cleaning welds up and it even etches mild steel. 😅

  • @charleswelch249

    You keep pretty busy with all the local farmers breaking equipment. But getting out of the shop is healthy for you, Oliver. I really like the new crossing design you have designed. I believe it will last longer than the old one. The wheat looks like a good crop also.

  • @madeljacky
    @madeljacky 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The pin and cone brackets on the McHale could do mounted higher, that's why they get bent when hooking out, the operator crowds the attachment too far forward to get the cone down out and it bends the bracket, excellent bit of repair work you did to all the implements in this video.

    So a running gag you can use for whatever equipment you’re working on is, “ I don’t have any xxxxcolour, so red oxide will have to do”
    If in the event that you have correct colour you can say, “ I’m out of red oxide, I found this and it matches original paint”.
