Everyone starts at the beginning and you did a great job of explaining to him how the process works. Give him time and he will pay you back by being a great employee. As a pipeline welder for 35 years I trained in more than a few helpers. I treated them respectfully and most every one of them went on to be welders themselves. It was a good feeling to see them on the line later on! Love your videos!
@@SFS13-01 Pretty sure Greg knows the #1 reason people leave...Willing to bet that he also is not going to let somebody walk because of that reason..He is building his company out and investing for his and his employees futures...
@@SFS13-01 Eh, it's a coin flip. Either they will be loyal to you, or they'll leave. Isn't that better than the alternative, though? Someone disloyal, that stays, and costs YOU money? Loyalty is nice and all, but it won't feed your kids.
Really like it when you teach and explain to the new guy and some of us that are not so familiar with these jobs. That cardboard cutting was impressive! Laughed so hard when you just put on your fingertips to make the torque wrench click and he just gave all that he can before... 😂👍👍
Very interesting video . As a former heavy equipment mechanic I can understand installing the pieces correctly . Cutting that thin cardboard when shear plates are installed correctly is pretty cool .
I was a calibration tech for Lockheed years ago and we had a 800 lb-ft torque wrench come in for calibration. Our torque cal bench was capable of measuring that high, but the bench wasn't heavy enough. We left a two foot gash in the floor when the calibration was over, but the customer was happy. The lab manager wasn't.
It is refreshing to see a young man who is so willing to learn. No attitude or arguing. Even notice he will point out his own mistakes. Gives me hope for our future. If you could put together a crew that is as willing to learn as him you could all get rich.
This is one of the best channels on youtube to me, I watch it with the same intent and curiosity as I used to watching "How It's Made" on The Discovery Channel...
Really enjoyed watching the way you worked with this young man. He seems eager to learn. That’s great! I also know how frustrating that eagerness is as a boss. You must have had a great mentor or many throughout your growth in the trades. Your patience and skill are impressive sir. Thank you for the videos.
Hey Greg, love the channel. Thanks for the how-to on the shear. An old timer tought me to use starter fluid instead of brake clean, it cuts right through oil and grease. Hope to see you on one of the fires someday. 🤘
Ive been using a telsin around the neck mount for my other channel, I like it because I tend to look around a lot which makes the footage a bit shaky but I have to remember to point my chest at what I want the camera to see which isn’t always easy.
This is really cool, because we also learn things. I had no idea washer direction could matter. I kinda assumed so, but I figured it would have been like, watchmaker kind of precision, not heavy machinery.
Great video, as per your usual. Also appreciate you taking the time to explain how it all works together. Now I'm curious how Jacob gets the weekly torque checks done, as he does not appear to have much more mass.
😢Teaching is hard. I'm teaching right now and almost couldn't watch the episode because it was reminding me of being at work. I don't mind the camera angle and movement. I actually really enjoyed being able to see first person view. Gosh I love your answer "I don't care how he gets it done"
Greg & Wesley I'm laughing with you both at the beginning watching Wes undo the bolts then at the end he's got ALL his weight on the extension but no click Greg ads his additional few pounds and it clicks RIGHT Off as I'm hearing both of you laughing, I enjoy seeing Greg passing along your expert knowledge of your craft to Wesley who is enjoying learning and laughing along the way, y'all Be & Stay Well my friends.
Well, the guy is not so bad at learning. He ask questions and that is good. I remember when i was working in factory we send our "helpers" to bring us half bucket of vacuum and one bucket of compression in order to "shake these bolts". :D :D and they go and try execute our order. after this none of them was approved to work with us.
Nice one.. With new parts that clean I was hoping for some pizza slicing.. 🙂 And A pluss for your eager assistant.. that was some hernia inducing efforts he put in there.. 👍
FYI, actual reason those blades are counterbored slightly to to keep the tool steel the blade is made from from popping the top surface of the material. If it is threaded flush to the blade with no counterbore it could pop the first thread or two off. The whole surface around the threaded hole.
What would be interesting is a general cost of things...I know you can’t be specific because of different customers but a general cost would be great information.
Installing the bolts dry seemed a little odd at first, but it's what the manufacturer recommends. Shows the importance of reading and understanding the instructions, or risk a costly and avoidable mistake, and even losing a customer.
I’m no engineer but…..😂 since this is a maintenance item that you see regularly I’d be tempted to try something like 750’lbs with red thread locker. Then see if they have moved in a week. Easier to disassemble/rehab if that works. Arm chair mechanic out! Thx for posting- I enjoy learning
Who have thought that such precision parts are needed for a grunt jdevice like shearer. To keep any crap, splinter etcout of the shims I guess. Welcome back from bush fire duty.
The shim part had me laughing. It's like whats the point of a shim if its not shimming out the target. It's like shimming a window and you put it on the opposite 2x4 lol.
Is this the same machine that you replaced blades on a year or so ago? A few years back a company my buddy worked at bought a rather worn excavator with a cutting head on it for an upcoming job of cutting up a two hundred clapped out car hauling trailers. Anyway he was tasked with getting the machine into working condition and replacing the blades was part of that job. Anyway after the blades were replaced we were both amazed at what that machine could/would cut cleanly
Fun fact 1971 966C Torque setting for transmission main shaft torque. 6 foot bar 6 foot 180 pound man hang from the bar no bounce 2” from boot sole to floor.
Small guys like us can lift more than we can pull. It's harder and harder on the joints but it's just how it is. If you're gonna hang on a breaker bar you need a lot more leverage.
Dude, the only way you could top your content is to do some lives and let people ask questions! Also, I think your best vid would be a back story from where you began to present. 💪💯
When I worked in plastics extrusion our millwright used a torque multiplier to compound the torque force when torquing bolts, could you use the same thing to reduce the effort of torquing these capscrews up to 900 ftlbs? The mulitplier sits in between the torque wrench and the capscrew allen and has an arm which has to rest on a solid object like the ground so it will not spin.
you have nice tools. give the scrapyard owner a copy of this video and the bill. just watched a HAL machine shop Aus. build and they torqued a big drill segment to 65K ft lbs.
Hmmmmm, I'm not sure about that POV style though I can see how it would save a LOT of time for you with not having to move a camera around to make sure it's catching the action. Clovis Recycling... that's just a couple miles down the road from me. So, how long do those blades last? And did you say they should be adding shims weekly? Yikes, sounds like a lot of preventive maintenance is needed for those. Love your videos. Glad you're posting again.
You should buy a torque multiplier, make that job way easier, cracking them loose when they pop, can definitely cause a injury!! One of my co-workers did this same thing had something pop in his shoulder had to get surgery!! Why not use the crane, put a strap around that ratchet and lift up
Love the fact you are teaching your helper what needs to be done and how to do it. Good job!
He isn't teaching as much as HAZING

Huge congrats brother. You have all the makings of a awesome teacher!! He was soaking it all up!! Flawless work as always!!
I love watching stuff like this. As a welding apprentice, I learn a lot from these videos.
I cringed a bit at 10:36 when he bent down to pick up the bit, i fully expected the hunk of metal to falk on his head, thats usually how my luck goes.
I jumped too
Really like it when you teach and explain to the new guy and some of us that are not so familiar with these jobs. That cardboard cutting was impressive!
Laughed so hard when you just put on your fingertips to make the torque wrench click and he just gave all that he can before...
😂👍👍
I like how you’re making a video and mentoring / teaching at the same time. Good leadership.
That adapter on the torque wrench is the real hero here. Jeez that thing is taking abuse
Very interesting video . As a former heavy equipment mechanic I can understand installing the pieces correctly . Cutting that thin cardboard when shear plates are installed correctly is pretty cool .
Never realized there was so many blades in these, I would have thought cutting metal was a way less tolerance, interesting video.
your helper seems eager to learn, good job on those bolts

This was SHEAR agony loosening those bolts . Good job !

Hey Greg, love the channel. Thanks for the how-to on the shear. An old timer tought me to use starter fluid instead of brake clean, it cuts right through oil and grease. Hope to see you on one of the fires someday. 🤘
Typically I use starting fluid. I got some brake clean for free so I was using that up.
I really like this vid. Love that you're teaching someone a trade. There some guys that try and dont teach cause they think you want there job.
Master teacher and student! Cool! 👌👍! Thanks for sharing! Greg!!!
That shear is cool, never expected tight tolerance cut like that. Nice work as always, that allen socket survived the torque well lol
Great job as always. Greg you are the man. Sharing your knowledge.
I'm liking the POV, mixing it in will be cool.
Thank goodness you’re back. Make my UK day.
For the smaller guys out there.
Try pushing instead of pulling.💪💪💪💪
Way more torque like that.💪💪💪💪
Ive been using a telsin around the neck mount for my other channel, I like it because I tend to look around a lot which makes the footage a bit shaky but I have to remember to point my chest at what I want the camera to see which isn’t always easy.
You guys did a awesome job Greg.🙌
Alright! Missed you guys! Cheers!;-)!!
That's a lucky guy . I would kill to work for a guy like you in a place like that. Take advantage new guy!!
Wow bit sick feeling thanks for the warning love the video keep them coming from uk
I watched it with a pleasure ❤
Get your helper a 25 pound weight belt to throw on when hes trying to torque those bolts down LMAO.
or buy him more cheeseburgers for lunch.
Muito bom trabalho amigos!!!Pérfeito como sempre!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
This is really cool, because we also learn things. I had no idea washer direction could matter. I kinda assumed so, but I figured it would have been like, watchmaker kind of precision, not heavy machinery.
😂😂 it's so cool to see your helper hang about as usual 😂😂
Great video, as per your usual.
Also appreciate you taking the time to explain how it all works together.
Now I'm curious how Jacob gets the weekly torque checks done, as he does not appear to have much more mass.
Brilliant channel and always interesting 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
He’s back guys! Awesome video Greg. Hope I can buy you a beer one day you have taught me a lot.
The master has another great video. Keep up the great work.
😢Teaching is hard. I'm teaching right now and almost couldn't watch the episode because it was reminding me of being at work.

Gosh I love your answer "I don't care how he gets it done"
Glad to see you back hoorah
Love it….. that helper needed to put some of that scrap in his pockets. lol
"Or your finger" "I mean, hey if that's what the boss says." LOL
Glad to see you back. Would one of the hydraulic torque wrenches work to get the bolts loose ?
Yes, it probably would. I am looking to get one soon.
Or one of these torque multipliers that is used for wheel nuts on trucks.

Hey welcome back, never seen your post for a while. Never knew changing shear was a thing, I thought it was welded on and sharpened by grinder
I always use my tourqe multiplyer on bolts like that but sometimes not even thats enought 😂 thank you for the great Video 👍
Nice one.. With new parts that clean I was hoping for some pizza slicing.. 🙂 And A pluss for your eager assistant.. that was some hernia inducing efforts he put in there.. 👍
Love it man. Good work

Team Work!
You can use that weight supply, and get it done quickly.
DO YOUR PART, finish the job.
Steers and queers come from tejus.... You don't look like no steer.
What would be interesting is a general cost of things...I know you can’t be specific because of different customers but a general cost would be great information.
Where in the hell have you been?🔥
Glad you’re back!
Torque multiplyers are a lightweights leveler 👍
I love your channel.
33:44 - man, your guy really liked that! 😊
0:45 in Austria we would say that you should eat more dumplings.
Thanks for uploading brother
Most guys wouldn't have cared to clean it after a disassembly. I still have hope for you America..
Nice work, Safety glasses !!! Only one set of eyes !
Installing the bolts dry seemed a little odd at first, but it's what the manufacturer recommends. Shows the importance of reading and understanding the instructions, or risk a costly and avoidable mistake, and even losing a customer.
Yay the beast is back 🙌 🥰❤️🔥

On something this expensive, I would never do anything different than the manufacturer recommendations.
Who have thought that such precision parts are needed for a grunt jdevice like shearer. To keep any crap, splinter etcout of the shims I guess.
Welcome back from bush fire duty.
I don't know if you're keeping track, but no motion sickness here. I kinda of like this format. 😊
Great teaching
NEVER LEAVE FORKS UP ON FORK LIFT
Bon retour Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍
I expected him to look at the instructions and say "well thats not right. Here is the right way to do it".
The shim part had me laughing. It's like whats the point of a shim if its not shimming out the target. It's like shimming a window and you put it on the opposite 2x4 lol.
Man did the aprentis take the blame foor the shims? And who put them in the wrong spot in the 1st place? What a great guy.
I think you need to get a two foot longer cheater bar and or a Twenty pound weight belt for your tech. Good teacher. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the apprentice 👍
Good to see Jell Spicoli found employment as your helper once he graduated from Ridgemont High.
Pizza time!.

Вес имеет значение!!! ☝️😎
You need a torque multiplier. It's saved me so much back pain and sweat.
Or just a fatter helper lol.
Sweeney wrenches, torque multipliers, might be useful?

Is this young man your new apprentice? He seems a bit green. Glad to see you back. i have been missing your videos.
He is more a welder than a mechanic.
77 👍's up On Fire Welding thank you for sharing 🤗
i think you need a torque multiplier for bolts like that , or feed your helper more
Thank you Greg.
1:15 - oh sure, after he already loosened it for you 💥🤣🤘
Get this dude a nice weighted vest for torquing those bolts 😂
What a weapon of a tool
Great as always! Take your mate to an all-you-can-eat 😂.
Any reason to not use copper grease? Might prevent the struggling next time ?
The bolts need to be installed dry.

I’m guessing that snap on ratchet was about $2000? Payable in weekly payments for the next year? 😂😂 great video!!

It depends on what they cut. Typically they last a few months then need to be flipped.
My man was rethinking his life while hammering that piece 😅
