The bird on the wall look sufficiently impressed with that nice pair of trumpets.

Love the calendar in the background, should be more of it.

Hi from Nacogdoches, Texas. Excellent work. Great calendar.

I am watching the dial while you were indicating the first one in, thinking you're going the wrong way, with your jaws. Bloody upside down Ozzies...then I remembered your working from the ID!...Oh 💩... nevermind! More coffee at 0530 Sunday morning. Nevertheless, despite my silliness, good stuff as usual and that lathe is just the perfect size IMHO for many things. Shop is nice and bright and I noticed you have the proper girly calendar picture hung up on the wall there. Atta boy Max, you'll keep! Cheers

Nice work! The photography is amazing.

Gday, didn’t take long for the JMFT to get its first mission mate, top job

Cracking video, excellent Callander 👍🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you Max. Never did understand spray welding, now I have enough information to be dangerous.

You cold there I see..... Poor old fella. Nice to see the JMT being used for a job. It all sounded good

Love the outro images :) I'll never forget the first time I saw flame spraying, I was a snotty nosed apprentice spark working at the Pomona Docks in Manchester when the last working 60 horsepower electric motor went tilt, they worked through the night to repair the races on the shaft and other work that I was involved in. All that to get a Manchester Liners ship out that had to make a tidal window in Liverpool. We just made it. Flame spraying was a black art to me back then, but the memory is burned in for sure :)

Can only imagine the replacement cost of those housings...saved the customer big on that great repair for sure Max.💯

Thanks for the show Max 🍻

Nicely done Max, proper job.

Nice work, Max! I always appreciate seeing precision workmanship and close attention to details. Yeah, It's HOT here in the central part of the east coast USA (not near as hot as your summers though) so it's kind of strange to see you with the cap and jacket 🙂

So, you did some hot stuff this week :)

Thanks for another video mate. I enjoy watching spray welding never seen it before KZfaq, great system. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Well done Max That is a strange axle, haven’t seen one like that. Enjoyed Cheers……

Thank you Max for another great video i really appreciate the trouble and trials that you go through making them i really enjoy watching them

Great job Max, interesting to watch. Cheers Tony

Thank you Max!

Australias answer to Abom! Go Max

Fascinating process - really appreciate you taking the time to record it on an urgent job. I know how much filming slows the job down sometimes. 👍👍

Awesome job max, looking forward to the next installment. From kiwi land

Bang up job Max, and better than Abom because all he does now adverts descised as jobs . Max and Matty's workshop are the real deal.

Awesome . . got the JMT making $$$ . . super nice.

Impressive stuff Max. I guess this is the way you really make money. No f**king around, heat up the expensive part and make it work. Fumbling around with not so critical parts for some time now and here we are scorching expensive parts and make it work. Did you meet Kurtis from CEE machining? Same stature as you. Get it done and all the new beards just went past you with nothing to account for. Thank you for sharing this with us too. I wish you all the best, Job

Spray welding is always so interesting to watch.

Excellent job! And that’s how you get the silver. In the first trumpet you spend approximately 2:30 minutes; how thick was the metal coating? In the second trumpet you mention .005” + thread after an undercut. I love your videos because you don’t play magician… “clap and done”. Of course you cut repeats (like dialing the 4 jaws) but I can get an Idea of how long an expert takes to do the job.

Hi Max, we used a metal spraying company in Freo in the eighties and nineties for our electric motor shafts. I always used a inductive bearing heater so as not to disturb the metal spray material when fitting the bearing. Removing bearings would result in most cases pulling off the metal spray substrate and would have to be sent out for repair again but it did the job as intended. Nice save on expensive part and good too see the JFMT earning its keep.

Yep another interesting video Max & great to see the JFMT making you a buck to help pay for all the work you have done on it to get it up & working so well. Also good to see that the work is steadily starting to come in as well.

You chilly and it was about 39C in my garage today and yesterday.

+Great work Max. The shop inspector looking over the work!! Cheers

Great work Maxie! Thanks for your time.

Nothing like some weekend overtime. 👍

G'day Max,love the spray weld jobs mate, thats a job well done as always, btw its a noice 26⁰ C here in merry old England, reckon by the end of summer, we'll nearly be as warm as you are in winter 😂

Well I get to make the first comment. Good explanation and job as usual.

good video friend MAX..thanks for your time

Hey Max love the Miss July calendar on the wall. How easy is it to see when your laying the spray weld down as it appears very difficult or is it no different than oxy welding. Great work i like how its all come together for you with a lot of hard work.

great video max

Good video max 👍👍👍

👏👏👏👏👌

A great job all round Max. Is that a Eutectic system you are using? I've watched a good few videos from Abom doing flame spraying and one or two from Steve Summers. A very interesting process to watch. Looking forward to the part 2!

Max, how many lathes do you own? Looks like a luxury collection from here. Why do you own so many or what's the reason that you do? All the best, Job

Is there not a seal directly inside the housing that would be damaged by the heat?

Beanie? That’s a touque in Soviet Kanuckistan. How cool is it there in the morning, 10 Celsius or so?

Excellent work ! Do you have to heat your Nice shop?

Do you feel the chill when it plummets below 30 Max? ;-)

? Can A larger bearing be used to replace the lose in shaft size?

Max, does the Bull Nose tail stock bearing suffer from all the spray flame heat.

You look just like your Dad.

Thx for the vid., but From 2.50 to 5.05 YOUR head is quite in MY way.

Max how do I get your postal address. Kit from Queensland

Is that your wife in the back? Please introduce her to us...🙈

Are those calendars given out by industry suppliers still in Australia? PC crap destroyed that here in the states.

Im disgusted at the filth displayed on the wall and therefore must insist it be removed immediately and sent to me for disposal at the following address , .........🙄

With just a little bit more effort im sure you could fit more content between your adds,,,,cue the KZfaq premium mongos making their comments
