Repair SUPER SIZE Tilt Bracket for 90T Excavator | Line boring & Machining
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2022
- Is this the biggest tilt bucket bracket you have ever seen!? This is off a 90 tonne Hitachi ZX890 excavator and it is not common to see a tilt bucket on a machine this size. We’ve got a few repairs to do, the main pivot position is worn out and needs line boring. We also need to repair two of the pin spacers and line bore the tilt bucket pin position. To do all of that we need to do some air carbon arc gouging and we complete the assembly of our new Shop Made Line Boring Mounts to use while line boring and bore welding the positions. We also do some welding to repair the pin spacers and have to freeze fit the main position bushings using liquid nitrogen!
In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 Welder
- Hafco TM-1740G Lathe
- Sir Meccanica WS2 portable lineborer
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- MetalMaster HPM -150T Hydraulic press

Hmmm.🤔🤔🤔🤔
I gonna go with a couple things....1st,I was,as always on the edge of my chair when Kurtis starts pouring liquid nitrogen,when he attempts the first go at the big ol' bushing and it catches (krikey) pucker factor of 11, and not once but twice then it goes home😳😁
2nd.thing is when getting your parts back from nitriding, and the fact that Kurtis has used the factory ones for years,knowing to that having made these his self the tools manufactured in house will outperform the bought tooling.
Sense of pride touch the heart. maybe a side hustle is in order on a few thing huh???
I can see it now" SafetyDawg shop tooling guaranteed to outrun and outlast the competition"! Love the video guys,Homey did you eventually tear up the Elvis duck chicken thingy???
❤️👍🙏
What a great video, Karen sure knows how to direct and edit quality videos. Just the right amount of sped up sections to eliminate repetitiveness and maintain the viewers attention without a lengthy drawn out overall video length
The fact that you needed another special tool so you just machined one up to get on with job - useful for the next job. This how I start my Friday morning before getting on with fixing wooden boats. Great series and a mention about the filming and editing which is right up there - brilliant job.
min 34:00..so that it´s all about it, you are just an actor, and it is your wife with the dog doing all the real hard work...aaahhh poor me, I was so proud of you Kurtis
;)
As a 74-yr-old, non-machinist from Burbank, CA, I just find this so fascinating and a treat to watch. Karen does a great job of covering all shots and helps me to understand what Curtis is doing. Very entertaining!
lol I'm 35 mins away from you. Its amazing how YT has connected us to Cutting Edge all the way in Australia.
74 next month also non-machinists St. Louis MO. I agree with you and enjoy this content and watch it often. Very informative and I watch the outtakes they always make me laugh. I was a welder in the late 60’s moved into the office then spent the rest of my career in sales. Lived in Livermore CA. for a few years. Good on ya mate. 😊
You youngsters are easily entertained.
Indeed
Karen, your camera work and editing are really getting outstanding. This latest video showcases that. Fast forwarding where appropriate, cutting out excess that is just redundant - all really excellent. I really enjoy your work and wish that you two could post more. Kurtis, the work was excellent as usual. Well done to both of you. I raise a VB in your honor.
100% on this comment. Best edit yet IMO. Very efficient but still nice detail touches with great pacing. This is like the 20th line boring vid but it was still fresh.
Agreed. Karen and Kurtis are an outstanding team, always providing us with great content. Homeless is always a treat, and I always use his appearance as my cue to click the like button. His antics make my day (as the parent of 5 dogs of my own I can certainly relate).
I agree with all said here, and I liked it when Karen corrected Kurtis , just shows how nice it is to have a partner very much on the same page, it only makes you better.
Karen is the best on YT!!
Great content, how long did that job take to do?
At 77 years old and was a machinist for 56 years i thought i'd seen most things but your skill-set is awesome. I was fed up with machining but watching you has rekindled my interest. What a great channel. Shuddered a bit watching you pull swarf off with bare hands i've seen some nasty accidents doing that.
He’s very talented for sure
This entire series is a master class on heavy equipment repair. Professional production and a PHD level machinist.
with humor.. and he likes birds
He is very good doing many things. I worked in aviation at Bell and LTV as top pay working on very difficult parts. I also had my own production job shop for 18 years. I ran DeVlegs and Jig borers. I also ran 100 hp Cincinnati vertical and horizontal mills. He has taught me a lot about big lathe work.
My brother and I used to own a dirt moving company with excavators, dump trucks, dozers, roller compactor, etc. Kurtis shows me machines I never knew existed, so it’s fascinating to learn about these machines, how they work, and better yet how to repair them. I find the size of these machine tools awe inspiring compared to what I worked with at one time as an instrument maker. Kurtis’s depth of knowledge and engineering skills, coupled with Karen as a great videographer, Wonder Dog, and the Butcher make a great team. Made my Friday as I sit here in the rain on Negros Oriental (PH).
You lucky bugger! I just came back from Cagayan de Oro where my family lives. I miss the Philippines already
Outtakes are the best.
🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏belo trabalho excelente profissional trabalho perfeito um abraço pra todos vcs aí.
Li seu comentário sentado aqui em algum lugar do Brasil.
Excelente comentário!
Realmente a internet não tem fronteiras.
Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷
Nothing phases you! It’s a pleasure to watch your confidence in your work. You and Karen are all alone and nothing seems to hurt your workmanship.
Shop made tools are always a favorite. Line boring is another favorite. And, of course, your videos never disappoint.
As for the tilt unit, I've not seen anything like it. I was a dozer operator, mainly D6 and D7.
Homie and his toys are so fun, and my cat loves Homeless.
we've got a few more shop made tool videos we want to do when we get a chance! The tilt bucket and quick hitch is a lot more common on smaller machines
I liked how you took care of a unique situation to center the line bore… and the new parts just in time because you would have not gotten that disc out with the original supports welded on
During set up when tacking on the guid fixtures don’t they draw on you making the bar tight ?
Want to make a tool so first you make a tool to make another tool.

Whoever does the video filming and editing / production does a top notch job. Excellent work and of a professional level. I love watching this channel. Don't change anything when it comes to the style and method of putting these videos together. It's perfect.
Thank you, from Karen 😁
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering
Karen, what an excellent job. I think you should do one front-of-camera narration with outtakes! Please.😊
agreed one of the best..by far..
I just love this channel, just two people that get the work done and done well. First, Kurtis...the new mounts for the WS2 looked to be up to the task of larger boring, I mean things were just so smooth. And now to Karen...you know what, you are so good at shooting and editing, I know this because I dove into the back videos here on this channel that go back a couple of years and the quality has shot up by leaps and bounds. You two are just a breath of fresh air here on TH-cam, quality, no BS and honest work, thank you.
Hey mate thank you for saying so we both appreciate that! Karen likes to challenge herself to improve her editing in some way each week so thank you for noticing 😁👍
Wow those mounts turned out beautiful! They look better than anything factory.
thanks mate I reckon they look pretty good too
The look on Kurtis' face as he went to put them into action....he tried to keep a poker face....but that look of pride/satisfaction/wholeness....few finer feelings a man can achieve
I always wondered why Kitt the Trans Am was black. He had been on a trip to the Nitrider.
@@derozendaaltjes *blink* *blink* :P
Everytime i see you make a tool out of "nothing", i'm amazed of your craftsmanship 👍
Nothing better than watching a professional at work 🇿🇦
thanks for watching!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering He was talking about George pinching the mealworms ..🤣🤣🤣
Never gets old watching this team at work.
So - this appeared at random in my feed. Instant subscriber ! I work in IT, so this is as far away from what I do for a living as possible, but the attention to detail and standard of work involved in this was obvious, even to me. I was amazed at someone machining "bits" that were solely used to make sure something else was centered - no "close enough looking" guesswork here. Fantastic job and a quality finish.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing mate!
Forever impressed with engineers who design these things, even more impressed with engineers who figured out how to fix these things without dismantling them to their base components!
That's where welders come into play - to fix the shit that engineers muck up... :)
@@tandemwings4733 What did the engineers muck up fella??
@@heardashot
Well, let me give you a perfect example that I know of personally.
Ken C - who has retired from business (and actually Ken and Val live just over our back fence), and he still has his own small workshop in our local industrial estate.
Ken told me, not so many years ago how he made his little fortune.
He had to quote for all of the contracts that he wanted of course. So he would get the plans for the work and diligently work through the lot. If he found that the plans were correct and workable, he would quote with a chance of not getting the job. But, if he found that the plans were not correct (as they were often enough over the years), he would quote low to get the job, knowing that he would get the redo work at his full hourly rate - with no questions asked, and he always took full advantage of that.
Ken's only qualification is a welder, and he loves engineers.
@@tandemwings4733 Ken was no welder. He was a liberal politician's crony.
@@deconteesawyer5758 Wrong country, knucklehead. 🤣
If your channel doesn't encourage our young people with an engineering tilt to get into fitting and turning, nothing will. Very well done. And the camera work is exceptional. Thank you.
Прости ! Иногда так засматриваюсь твоей работай , что забываю ставить лайки! Спасибо! Россияне уважают людей зарабатывающих своими руками!!!😀
It's 25 years since I was a machinist and I still have nightmares about not setting the endstop right and wrecking the machine, love your Chanel and the work you do 👍👍👍
There's so much expertise required for a job like this. I am very impressed.
I never thought welding inside a bore like that was possible. Masterly done!
I will never tire of repeating this is one of the best channel I could have discovered. Many thanks for sharing your great works, many thanks for your patience in doing these wonderful shootings. I do a completely different job but this channel helps me a lot in understanding and learning for personal works I do by my own. It is a really great experience. Hope you'll continue also in the next future. Greetings from Italy.
Those constant improvement efforts to ensure the customer gets the best possible outcome really add value to your shop. I’ve watched enough line boring in the field to appreciate how keeping tolerances to spec will get the longest possible time in the field before repairs are necessary again. You set a good example to those watching who do similar work.
The quantity of metal manipulation Methods mankind has come up with is just fascinating. So many talented people have dreamed up, designed, tested, made and perfected tools that make "metal" such a valuable, all-important and omnipresent material with an endless amount of possible use cases... I think of and appreciate that again and again when watching your videos! Thanks for the work you put in to present this to us.
Thank you. That is the most professional repair method I have ever seen.
Спасибо, за вашу работу и отличную съемку оператору.
Thank you very much 🥰
The 4-bearing install is an interesting solution to the problem of eventual dust penetration. Always interesting to see the variety of work going on in your shop!
The multiple bearings also support the bar better and spread the load out so there's less wear on any individual bearing. Win-win all around.
It’s crazy that the liquid nitrogen gets the metal so cold it shrinks! 👍🏻👍🏻
What I like best about this video is not just what I'm viewing with amazement, but all the knowledge you have aquired, providing your service, at, what appears to be, a very youthful age - not to mention the money needed for the space and all the machinery plus materials.
I respect your tenacity in solving issues with tools that don’t totally meet your needs. I know it is so easy to continue putting up with a product that generally works but you make the time and effort to fix what needs to be fixed. And your videographer does a good job of capturing the details and answering in video questions I’m sure would come up. Well done.👍
What I liked best about this video is 0:00-37:58...and I'm only 3 seconds into the video! I already know it's going to be brilliantly done, the video and more importantly, the job. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. My father and I really enjoy watching and admire your knowledge. Fantastic all around!
🤣👍 you can come back again anytime lol thanks for the great comment and support we appreciate it! Say hi to your dad for us!
Amen to that!
@@rypkepaulusma Dutchman in da house 👍
@@nicodesmidt4034 Indeed 🙂
You make everything look so easy that tells me you’re a true professional and you have a passion for your job that’s why so many people or lack in these days nobody wants to do what you’re doing the skill set that you have to have to fix the stuff is quite extensive very impressed I have to admit very impressed with what you guys do down there keep up the good work love the dog though love that squeaky chicken
This really is the perfect TH-cam channel. The fact he shows a clip of the machine the part comes from is much appreciated. The editing and filming is filming is fantastic and I can’t express how much I enjoy watching someone who takes the time to do everything the right way. I wanted to work for somebody in welding and heavy machine repair who does it right like you but the places I tried wanted to cut corners for production. So I gave up and work construction. Now, after work. I watch your videos because it’s the closest thing to doing what I wish I could be doing. Thanks a lot for your amazing videos! Cheers, from America!
Awesome work mate, love watching you do these jobs and done properly. “Do it once do it right”. Good work.
Glad you enjoyed it
His attention to detail, and skill is second to none. Awesome videos!
Those parts you made for the line borer came out super nice with the nitride finish, better than factory!
I know my father would be proud to see a young machinist like you doing such quality work. And I am relearning things I had forgotten over the years !! Cheers from Canada Kurtis & Safety Dog !!
*and handsome
I follow a lot of TH-camrs... most are good, some are really good, a very few are great. The difference between the really good and the great is the community of followers and commenters that they attract. This is a seriously great channel. The content is top notch and the support and possitivity in the comments is incredible. Thank you both for all the hard work you put in for our entertainment and education.
The bloopers at the end completely and accurately describe how hard it is to speak on cameras. I know exactly how you feel! So many shots to to say 2-3 sentences haha. Great work, look forward to the next one!
I had to hold my breath when you fitted those bushes. Glad it all went well. That is one hell of a power head. The advances in machinery since WW2 have been astounding. When we were kids in the fifties they were still loading trucks with cable winch dozers. I hope you tube were not to harsh on you. I thought something must have gone wrong when my comments went missing.
Congrats on getting you shop made line bore attachments back ... beautiful job by your Subcontractor !!! And proof of concept on use ... love your shop made adaptions ... so cool !!!
Shops I have worked in we used freezer box with CO2. Changed dump box bearing ultra class, heated eye with snap ring oneside (bearing slides through and locks). Another line boring box dump hinge ulta class, two bars 12 feet. Ultra class over 300 tonne. Great machineshop and outstanding work done.
Such an amazing job ! 填充焊再削掉用来修复磨损的孔，and液氮把工件冷却缩小再装配，这都是我没想到的方法。真是奇妙，看你们的视频总能学到新的知识。一个默默关注一个月的中国人敬上😄
Seems crazy to use a tilt bucket on a machine that big, but I guess they have their reasons. The shop-made mounts came out great, and the video speed for the welding on the second half of the main pivot bore (20:48 to 21:04) was spot on!
It avoids having to bring in another excavator.
Line boring is so different to anything I ever do, especially the filler welding, so neat to watch. Thank you for all the effort putting this up
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely amazing work, I am a hobby machinist from Ohio, USA. I am amazed at everything you do, interesting and educational! The interaction with you and the birds and your dog are a bonus! Thank you for your time making this great content!
What a trip. That inner circular welding/cutting thing is amazing!
Idk how I came across these machine shop Australia videos,,but I like. Reminds me of my grandpa who knew so much and machined his own things n fixes also.r.i.p.
Keep the unique n big fixes coming;]
Awesome that you could use the new shop made parts. They look great with that nitiriding.
I think so too!
Another great video, and what I like so much is that the work is clearly shown. Operations that are repeated several times show you first in detail, then faster and the rest in steps. This makes it fun to watch.
The failings at the end of the video are sometimes just as brilliant as the edited video. A pleasure to watch every week.
Those bearing mounts are "Chef's Kiss" perfect. Magnifique.
It is just so satisfying when someone uses equipment for things they were not intended for. Often that will allow you to do things easier and cheaper than your competitors and /or just make it possible. I used a hydraulik rotator hook on my knuckleboom crane which was not common on big cranes back then but convinced my boss to buy one in big size anyway. A lot seemed to like my idea because they became more common. When you are a one man band you need to be creative.
To quote Gene Kranz during the Apollo 13 incident: "I don't care what its designed to do, I just care about what it *can* do" amazing what they pulled off back then...
Brilliant bit of work, the new bearing supports looked good and did the job as expected. A few gasps as those new sleeves were being pushed in, no pressure at all 1500 dollars! Pleasure as always have a good weekend
Those line boring supports came out really well. I liked seeing you put the smaller ones into use in tandem. They did not become obsolete. Karen is one of the most efficient and fastest heavy duty mechanics around. She just breezes through the work. 😋
Guys I'm a new subscriber and now an avid follower from the Hunter Valley. Your real world video only serves to remind me of the efforts us metal workers come fitters come welders have and continue to share our blood sweat and tears for an honest weeks pay. I'm just about to drop some coins at your merch shop and look forward to more videos. I was damaged by a car on my pushy back in '21 so my life is operations, physios and TH-cam. Thank you guys for keeping our trades strong. Barney.
I've watched, enjoyed and "Liked" quite a few of your videos, but this one made me want to add a comment. When a professional demonstrates their craft, it's truly amazing to consider how much knowledge and experience factor into doing it well. For all your faults & bloopers, you (including your gal & dog) do a damn good job! Keep it up!
Karen... you do a really great job of keeping the dialog concise and flowing. I really appreciate your efforts. The world really needs more people like you ;-)
Curtis: Leave it to you to have a customer that uses a tilt bracket on a machine that size. Top shelf work as always!
Good to see someone believes in repair. This guy is a mechanical artist.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your work. I’ve worked with some talented machinists in my day. I was an industrial/commercial HVAC/R engineer. I have seen many types of machining fabrications. You demonstrate a high level of talent and expertise in your field of work. I look forward to each weeks project. Thanks for sharing your work.
In addition to the ease that you display in handling all sizes of shop machining, It's also intriguing to observe the knowledge and versatility that you have developed with welding skills. A true master craftsman. Also, and equally, kudos to Karen and her mastery of video editing. I look forward to all your new videos. 👍
That is some beautiful work, Kurtis. It is always a great way to start my Friday, watching you do your thing. As always, many thanks to Karen for producing and editing a great video. Have a great weekend.
Doesnt get much better than having the day off and waking up to a fresh CEE video... Thanks so much you 2 and have a nice weekend!
Enjoy mate!
I have three MUST-SEE YT channels - Ted Woodford's guitar repairs on Sunday, and on Friday, Bad Gear and Cutting Edge . Miss any one of the three and the whole week is lost. :D
Kurtis, I admire the quality and thought that you even put into your shop built tooling.
Most people will just build what will just do the job but you go the extra mile even with shop equipment knowing that quality is also put into the customers work .
Great work to both of you and Karen on putting together the videos.
Really enjoying this channel! I work in IT but have done little bits of welding and fabrication as a hobby, mostly car body repair and a couple of tables and welding carts. Fascinating to see you guys approach problems that in some cases seem insurmountable... And nice to see things being fixed instead of replaced (i suspect a lot more common at this sort of scale/cost). Just subscribed. Cheers!
I am never disappointed in watching your videos. Number 1 in my favorites! Smartest machinist I ever seen. Fabricator supreme!
As always, this made my Friday morning (US) complete. Kurtis I thoroughly enjoy your machining skills and the equipment you've heavily invested in. Shout out fo Karen also, because we would not get to enjoy this without all the hours she spends collecting and editing the content. Superb channel, my favorite! Also kudos to Charming Pet for making a toy for Homie that kinda lasted for a whole video! I don't think I'd like to have Homie biting down on my arm!
I continue to be amazed by your process and attention to detail. Glad the new shop tools worked out. Thanks for sharing
I also love the dog, the birds, and the out takes. Great work.
Dear Curtis, I really like the way you are dedicated to the work you used to do. With the shop made tools it’s just incredible.
Thanks for another Friday treat - superb as ever. 👍
I bet I was not the only one holding my breath whilst the bushings were being installed 😨
All the best,
Paul
You and me both! 😅
Holding my breath? Really, now. You couldn't have driven a 10 penny nail up my patootie with a jack hammer.
Excellent slo-mo when Kurtis was doing the interrupted cuts on the lathe. Those cuts are so brutal and we never tire of this effect! Great repair Kurtis, this was indeed a really, really, really good video!
Love the line boring machine, especially its automated circular welding ability. Mind blowing.
Those shop made tools look better than the OEM part, and yes that nitriding came out great, lovely surface and no imperfections at all, and a perfect fit on the threads as well. Going to bet the most expensive part was those 4 bearings per side. Close tolerance bearings are expensive, as I have had to order some for machinery, but seeing as the originals lasted 40 years, with no grease applied to them for a long time, due to burst and clogged grease lines, and they only got replaced because one was scored, but still had no measurable play. Those will still be there when your grandchildren are running the shop.
Great job Kurtis, Great videography and editing Karen.
Thanks so much!
Love your abilities to fab and repair . Meticulous and thorough ... your work is notable and exemplary Kurtis and Karen . Friday's episode of Gold Rush had Tony Beets and crew put a shorter boom on a 700 series Volvo excavator because that thing couldn't dig up pay that still had permafrost in it . Even though they have D11's ripping it . Just as you said, the shorter boom will generate a lot more breakout, and they were able to easily get full buckets and move material faster .
I know you hear this all the time, but the shop made tools are seriously impressive. Everything from these brackets to the roller stands to the lathe tools. Not overly complicated or flashy. Just solid AF built to last & do their job forever tools lol. 🥂
Your job quality, self pride and confidence always impresses me the most Kurtis. Yes that is the biggest tilt head I've ever seen also, great video.
Those shop-made mounts look like quality factory pieces! Nice!
Great work ..love to see someone who uses tools the rite way
Buenos días, disfruto mucho ver la perfección, limpieza y pasión que tiene en su trabajo, ¡Felicidades!
Nothing like making your own tools. They usually work better than the ones that you buy!! Nice job!!!! Thanks!
Except for the heat treatment
It fascinates me Kurtis, how nothing seems to faze you. I wouldn't know where to start on such a humongous piece of plant!! The true test of experience. Epic yet again mate!
That's 'cause the stuff that DOES faze him, Karen pulls out for the outtakes at the end :D :D :D
More machinists in an area, the less you make. He is in the right place.
It's really cool seeing you use all the tools and attachments you've made in previous videos all together now. Just watching the ease of use and how little time it takes to do the same jobs is awesome.
Looks like the new toy has lasted more than a day. Very well made. Hope one day to be able to send some fun gifts for Homie. Still working on finding some decent work.
I love the editing in this video; it's almost stop-motion animation at times. Keeps things interesting while not losing any of the technical expertise. Great stuff.
Loved watching you assemble those bearing mounts. They look awesome!
Kurtis your shop made tools are the cats meow. It's very rewarding when something you built is way better than what you can buy .
Lo felicito. Excelente trabajo. Mi admiración. Desde Argentina.
NEVER A BORING CHALLENGE IN YOUR ENGINEERING WORKSHOP !!!!!!
That is one big tilt attachment. Did a beautiful job on it though as always. Lady you getting better and better at making videos. Stay safe and enjoy the weekend.
Rapaz... Vc e perfeito... Trabalha muito bem
Really appreciate the work you both put into the videos!
Glad you like them!
That certainly is the biggest tilt bracket I've seen, love your work ethics Kurtis and Karen's video editing is awesome :)
Holy ****, that thing is huge! Interesting repairs and great technical explanation - please never change that.
As usual, a great weekend to the whole gang!
it's comments and feedback like this that really help us know what to keep doing or change up so thanks for taking time to watch and comment!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Honour to whom honour is due, folks. It's always a moment of joy when that CEE notification pops up.
Excellent idea having four bearings ! Wonderful execution. I remember a smallish though very heavy duty German lathe using three identical run of the mill ball bearings in the front of the spindle with a double thrust bearing at the back. Very smooth machine, plenty accurate and could take a bite.
Watching you tackle big projects like that makes me want to learn welding myself
You are such a awesome machinist it's always enjoyable to watch the work you do
I also love homeless he is a great addition to your channel
K, K & H outstanding effort as always, thank you. Those mounts look awesome and it was good to see them put to work. Kurtis' description of the impact on performance caused by adding additional 'moving parts' to the machine was interesting to know. Cheers👍
I really appreciate the work yall put into making these video's! I like that your very professional and don't cut corners. Thank you ma'am and sir
You guys are so great! Love the content. Love the footage. Karen your sense of timing and balance of information, detail thoroughly documenting all the steps and never boring. Top notch!
Can I make one or two tiny suggestions as a fellow Qlder, who's watched hundreds of litres of nitrogen evaporate shrinking bushes.. chuck your parts in the smoko freezer the night before you shrink them and also start a collection of old coolite eskys for your liquid nitrogen work. Easy to find cheap eskies or broccoli/produce freighting trays etc. Cuts down the amount of nitrogen used and improves visibility instead of peering into a frosty foggy bucket.
Anyway as always I'm in awe of Kurtis' knowledge and approach to his jobs. Keep up the amazing work CEE team!
Those line boring mounts are the living proof that good design is when form follows function. Beautiful as feck 😍
Notification Squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
Hey mate you have a good one too
Consider my mind blown. That’s a very interesting solution. I didn’t even know you could do that kind of work in place on a bore like that.
