As a hardcore “do everything myself” kind of guy, from building my own house, restoring my excavator, converting trucks to 4wd, and many other projects, I am very impressed with not only your capabilities and knowledge but with how well you laid out the video. I didn’t get bored once. Great job

Rock on Lucia, top job

Finally, a woman showing off her talents and not dressed like a bimbo for likes. Be true to yourself and your gift of a great fabricator. Great video.

This video just popped up in my recommend it and I was amazed at the skill involved. I can’t believe you are making a freaking skid steer that is insane! I do not know how you don’t have millions of subscribers? Top-notch craftsmanship and camera work

Wow!!! Designer, welder, machinist, mechanic, I am blown away that one person can have so much talent.

this is easily the most ambitious project I have seen on youtube, I have no trouble working on all my own shit but to build a skid steer from stratch well this is just amazing and her skill levels it out of this world your welds look fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of it

Holy cow! I stumbled across this due to the youtube algorithm recommending it. You do some AMAZING work! The welds are quite beautiful. Can't wait to see more.

Wow!!! I’m also a fabricator/welder and what an awesome job you’re doing. I’ll definitely be following along for the rest of this build!

Wow. I'm an amateur machinist - you're inspirational! Just a natural at all of it. Your grandfather must be super proud. Keep up the great work! Cheers

The person who makes their own tools so they can make other tools is on another level ! Your design & fabrication skills are superb. You truly inspire me. Thank you !!

I had a proposal, but I'm afraid the most beautiful and talented mechanical Engineer I've ever seen is taken.

Not sure how this channel was suggested but man am I happy it was. I've spent the last couple of hours watching and can't get over how talented this girl is not to mention how therapeutic it's been watching. I know very little as it relates to fabricating with metal but this channel has sure inspired me to want to learn. Thanks for sharing what you do and can't wait to see how this skid steer turns out.

I follow several other "makers", and I think you are as amazing as any of them! I look forward to seeing the completion of this project!

Your skill set is amazing! Love how you built your own plasma cutting table and learned how to use it effectively. Your welds look great. I can hardly believe that anyone would build their own skid steer. The pluck it takes to do what you're doing is awesome!

Nice little diy crack test with the chalk... I'll be stealing that one for sure!

As impressed as most are here, but also learned some trick I didn't know before (chalk & kerosine). Thanks! Looking forward to seeing more.

Lucia!!! This was absolutely increeeeeeeedible!!! I just joined KZfaq and I’m just doin my hobby woodworking on there, but I’m a machinist by day, and have been a steel fabricator for the last 10 years so this video just encapsulates my life, just in a level so far beyond me hahaha. I run CNC’s everyday. Weld, same ol. Used to think I build cars (until now haha)But you Ma’am are hands down my new inspiration. The fact your run weld beads on that rotary and they come out like that. I mean I just paused it staring at that weld like “bro, are you serious??????” Your absolutely incredible, thank you KZfaq for showing me Lucia! Show her to the world, what an inspiration. Keep up the great work, just wow you are literally who I want to be when I grow up. Thanks Lucia

This is just crazy how badass this is and being in a small home shop. Top quality for sure, just amazing and I am totally impressed!! You are awesome!!

Your welding is amazing, makes me think I'm doing something wrong!,lol. The force is strong with this one!.

Not only very talented and clever you are one beautiful woman. Looking forward to the next video which are very well done by the way. Your other projects and vids are all winners in my book.

I could say a million things, but honestly you're just super awesome at everything you're doing!!! Extraordinary work, Lucia!!! In every way, shape and form you're inspiring:)

I'll keep the compliments short. Absolutely amazing Lucia. I expect your subscribers count will be climbing very fast, as they should. Impressive and inspiring to say the least.

The world’s most beautiful and talented fabricator! Incredibly impressive.

The chalk and kerosene trick is simple but brilliant! You've definitely taught me something today! 👍

молодец Люция, идешь вперед не снижая планку по сложности и затратности проекта, респект за это.

Oh Lucia, your shop must be cleaner than my kitchen! I like your videos for another reason, put aside technical and aesthetic ones: you rarely speak, and watching your work is soooo relaxing! Keep it coming!

This video was suggested by KZfaq..... WOW You have a lucky husband, a woman that is smart, gets her hands dirty, builds, welds, forge, fabricates, electrical work and is beautiful. You are every car guys dream wife!!! Great video Subscribed!

Your shop alone blows my mind. Then your knowledge blows it again. Awesome video, kept me here the whole time..

Found your channel by accident and LOVE it. Can't wait to see part 2!! Keep up the great work 👍

Wow! Making a skid steer from scratch holy moly your nuts! Awesome work! Very impressive, stoked to see the finished build!

I can only imagine how proud Grandpa is, you are truly worthy of all the praise I can give you...his equipment and teachings are in good hands...I would say your in for a wild ride in the years to come, your channel will explode overnight. It might feel like it takes forever but it's coming!!

Ciao Lucia! Grazie per la tua straordinaria pazienza e abilità. Veramente stimolante!🤙🔥

Just stumbled across the channel. Exceptional skills. I'm sure I speak for a bunch of hobbyists who wouldn't mind a longer version showing the metal work. In fact, I already learned a brilliant trick with the chalk and kerosene.

Your weld lines are an absolute thing of beauty. So clean and perfectly formed

Impressive....but your welding was what impressed me the most.....😎 Well the pumps and belt and pulleys... equally impressive...

I'm glad you're back. I love how you use your previous projects to build your new project. Building the tools, to build the tools.

Wow, nice welds! Most KZfaqrs show the project completing in an hour, and you finished in less than 15 minutes. Nice work on the video editing! It was fun to watch, and I want to see the rest of how it comes together.

Please don't stop !!!! I can't wait for part 2 😀😀😀😀

If you did this all on your own you are one brilliant lady. Not many out there like you. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what an ambitious project, I can't wait to see the next installment! Impeccable work as always.

absolutly great build, look forward to more of your work. I think there would be plenty of makers interested in your plans for this machine once you iron out the bugs . xoxo keep up the good work !!!

Well I'm impressed. You do really good work and look really good doing it. I wouldn't even want to take that project on

Nice to see younger builders using breathing protection. I have several friends who didn't smoke or smoked very little but still developed throat cancer. The carcinogens released while welding is incredible specially when using recycled materials so you are burning off paints and other things. Teflon is another terrible thing to burn, incredibly toxic. I hope the next generation of welders and fabricators lose less friends and loved ones. Keep up the great videos. Cheers from Canada.

waw!! , awesome lady with wunderfull skills , respect my lady 😍, love that , once again respect🥰🥰🥰

Great job. Well done on the start of your skid-steer and I look forward to seeing the next stage. Also thank you for the very well-produced video! Excellent.

Super impressive stuff I do hope my daughters can embrace something like this that would be so good

good to see shop cat was working hard along side you as well. awesome stuff. from design to plasma to being welded into place. love it.

Wow is this build going to bring a ton of viewers. Well done, so inspiring to watch you work so efficiently and professionally! Looking forward to more of this and future projects!

Tolle Leistung von dir. Super Arbeit. Grüße aus Germany

Very impressed with your skills, you should be proud of yourself 👍😀

I'm looking forward to part 2

Love this sort of content. Some of your welds look better than mine, and I've been at it for over 40 years. Looking forward to the rest of the skid steer build...subbed here!

Young lady you have acquired a lot of awesome skills. I've worked with stuff like this my entire life and know what it takes to take on a project of this magnitude. I'm very impressed and subscribed.

I am continually amazed at your designs, craftsmanship, and ingenuity for doing things yourself. I'm extremely jealous of your shop and what you've accomplished. Thanks for sharing your work.

Even for those who come from the engineering industry, this is no small project to carry out alone in a home workshop. Hats off to the queen of workshops.

You remind me of B.A. Baracus from the A-Team. Every show he'd walk into a barn with a welder and a wrench and come out with a tank 🙃. You are incredibly talented!!!! 🤩

Very interesting build!! the quality of your work is simply impressive. A lot of people on the internet don't have any idea how much work is involved in such a massive project, condensed in such a sort video. big thumbs up for you :p keep up the good work and looking forward for the next part!!

Wow! The women of my Dreams! Beautiful, intelligent, independent, motivated & hard working! And she took it to the next level! 👏🏼🙌🏼💪🏼🔥❤️

This project is amazing, you have a lot of mechanical engineer experience

Found this video whilst looking for something else. was super impressed with everything from the layout of the video the information in it and wow those are some serious welding skills very nice job cant wait for part 2. Definitely worth subscribing to. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together

Wow, from your design to your welds to your editing, you got a new fan!! Keep it up 👍🏼

Absolutely speechless. I tip my hat in respect to your talent and skill.

You have a awesome workshop and amazing skills.

Great project and nice video! I think it would be great to see your workflow (idea, planing, preparations etc) as it there is always something to learn from another persons approach on big projects. Thanks and all the best for your channel

Those have to be the cleanest hands of any welder, manual machinist I have ever met or seen.

Damn that’s cool. Channel feels super underrated

I am officially requesting an overload.....your videos are awesome! .5hr video would be great! Thank You for past 14:40, you made my day 😊

this is the first video I've seen of yours, I like what I'm seeing so far: I like your tools, your shop, and your skill--some very nice welds, keep up the good work, I believe your channel will continue to grow as more and more people watch your videos

Congrats Lucia on making me watch ur amazing ability knownledge of making ur own Skid Steer. will look for pt2 great job so far. lv ur cat.

as someone who's welded frames for a major skid loader brand, this is very cool and impressive! Can't wait for the rest of the build!!!

Very good vid! I subbed cause I want to see this finished. Having worked on skid steers from the 60's ( some old farmers keep what works)into the 90's from mini to large and one built out of a 1961 Pontiac parts. I think the one you are building will work a lot better than that one. 👍

I was actually planning to build one of these myself soon except I was going to use two wheel motors plumbed in series per side instead of chain drive. I do like the chalk/ kerosene trick though. That’ll be useful.

This was fun to watch ! You've proved that big things can be built in smaller spaces. The welds look great, your fit-ups are crisp and clean...bravo. Most masterful fabrication at work...I can't wait to see more of the skid steer build !

Not at 10% yet watching arleady impressed. Thanx lucia. Greetings from uganda.

Trzymam kciuki za sukces! Pozdrowienia z Polski 👍

Other girls' youtube channels: "Look here! I show you the latest make up tricks, IKEA hacks and crap I have bought on Wish!" Lucia: " Today I'm gonna build a SKIDSTEER. 'Cause I need one." Amazing!

You have amazing talent, fantastic video, I'm looking forward to the next installment 👏👌

Simply amazing! The skill level and sharp mind required to be able to fabricate like that is over the top and what a workshop!

"perfect woman of the year"...... Award winner . ;)

Absolutely amazing. Completely in love with your work and love the workshop will definitely watch again need more woman like you... Thanks for showing there is still hope. Take care

Wow, I would have been happy watching you retrofit a broken skid steer! But you are incredible from scratch!❤

A few years ago I built a mini skid steer myself. I’m excited for you and will be watching for the follow up videos. Roger

i randomly stumbled upon this video and as a welder I have to say I am impressed with the way you work and use your tools/space you have. clearly visible that you are skilled! The video also shown the process well so keep it up!

You're like an entire factory in one person. Also, I'm super jealous of all your fancy tools. That laser cutter looks awesome.

Glad to see a woman working and showing her skills without some click bait bs sticking her ass out or not wearing a shirt. Quality content from a skilled craftsman.

Wow! That's an intense project! Great to have a CNC plasma cutter. Can't wait to see it finished.

Hi Lucia, how brilliant it is to hear your voice in English! I've been following your Russian channel for a couple of years and have watched most your Russian language videos... just watching what you do is teaching me lots of new methods and skills. I also watch other Russian engineering creators (Olego is one of my favourites, I think he is in Rostov) as my wife is from Russia (Omsk) so I pick up some words and phrases that I understand. I'm impressed by your work and look forward to your newest videos. Greetings from Southport, UK (30 km north of Liverpool). Best wishes to you and your husband and Grandpa!

Thank you YT for recommending this!

Wow, great video. Can't wait for the next one! You are very talented.

I'm speechless for so many reasons. Definitely earned my subscription! Looking forward to Part 2 and your future content! Thanks and all the best from Canada

That chalk and kerosine trick is something I am gonna remember!

The amount of time that has gone into this isn't done justice by these videos. Well done. The design time, the translation to usable drawings, plasma G-code, deburring and other clean up, getting the camera angles, battery and memory management, the video editing. So much work. Protect your eyes, hearing and lungs. I know you are trying to look nice for the camera (and you do) but it's not worth getting injured. Looking forward to more.

Well done - cannot wait to see the finished project. Really enjoy your transitions and music choices.

I like that chalk and kerosene trick. Great fab skills. Going to be a handy piece of equipment 👍

It is great to see a lady with your level of skills! Keep up the great work.

Your workshop and welds are excellent but it was the eyebrow bob when you lit the torch is when I clicked the subscribe button !

You are awesome! The way you do stuff just everything is awesome! Don't stop what you're doing keep doing it you're great at it and you're making your grandpa very proud!

Outstanding!!!! Lucia, you have excellent skills for someone so young!!!! I KNOW your grandpa is hella proud of you!!!!

Most entertaining 14 minutes on KZfaq. Hell of a job!

Your videos are now a part of my 2 year old sons bed time routine.
