Hard earned money, Tom. But ya got the job done, thats what counts. A satified customer will come back. Effort well spent. Regards

Boy that’s where one of those metal spray gadgets would come in handy. Nice job buddy.

💯enjoyed video Tom.

Nice job, that's a ton of welding and work.

Tom - In a past life , I used the following technique. I trued the shaft and added a concentric center hole. Supported all of it with a Ball Bearing Center. Filed the ugly O.D. then added a husky knurl. Turned the knurl to fit the bearing. A blast from the past . - Jim

Hello Tom, I guess that sometimes you have to work late to get the job done. A happy customer is a returning customer... Well done. Take care. Paul,,

I spect they can't all go like cake. You stuck to it. It looked nice in the end. New sub. Cheers!

Nice repair Tom. Thanks fire sharing.

G'day Tom. Lost of welding & machining but eventually there was a good outcome, because the baring fitted really well I realise that you have a great selection of tools & machines in your shop, & this might have been a one of, of this type of shaft rebuilding, maybe It's time to invest in a Metal Spraying Kit, which would have cut your time by about 30%, and would have been easier on your time & carbide tips. Great video overall. Keep up the good works Ted

Somehow I missed this one Tom , Sorry man ! Great repair , they will break another part and keep you in business my friend ..

It turned out nice Tom. Sleepless nights. I used to to 36 hours straight in the big snow storms. Happy I don't have to anymore. Well done buddy.

Don't you just hate those last minute walk in's but you try and get your customers going again and it keeps them coming back when they need something quickly. What I hate is when they have a habit of crying wolf every time they need something. I fixed a shaft like you last minute end of day thing and found out later it was over a week before they used it. When I started charging big expedite fees to them all that stopped. People will take advantage of you if you let them. You have to weed out the bad apples sometimes. Great job on the shaft...

I'm not sure I'm allowed to comment on your shaft project. Nice work, Tom. I love the projects you are getting.

Hi Tom I tried a weld build like that on a much smaller shaft and it was hard work even at that size. Good to see it done. Cheers

Nothing like a rush job to fill your night in mate, good job

Way to go Tom, proper job there buddy 👏 thanks for sharing and I hope you're keeping well mate

very good job my friend Tom,,thanks for your time

One of those spinny spinny welding fixture things would be swell to use. Just subscribed!

Hi Tom Some heavy duty work there, you earned your money on that one, Hope you didn't keep Mr Khaos up till 2 am🤣🤣👍👍👍👍 It took me back to my younger days repairing heavy duty mining equipment, did alot of machining up of welded shafts etc. to recover them 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 atb Kev

came out great!

G'day Tom, you got there in the end. Yep, running your own business means you do the hours to get the job out and build the good will so you get the repeat work. Cam

Time to build yourself a welding rotator. That would make this kind of jobs way easier. Go for it, Tom.

Tough job but you were tougher. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Now get some sleep before the next emergency comes in. It would be nice it they brought to you to remove old bearing. Before making such a mess. Great job Tom.

Well done Tom , I’m sure your effort will be appreciated by the mill owner. The jobs will keep coming when people know they can depend on your professionalism to get them up and running. Take care 👍👍

good job

Pulled an all nighter, probably drank a gallon of coffee.. Gota take care of those loyal customers.. Hope you got some sleep 😁 ATB.....

Shafts ???? 1 of my first jobs out of school. Apprentice in a Shaft Shop. Every sort of Shaft you could think of, we did them all. When I finished my Apprenticeship I Never wanted to see another Shaft again LOL. Thankfully my next job was working Maintenance in an open cut mine. The only Shafts I saw there were the Hydraulic Shafts for the quarry trucks. My job was to simply remove them and get them ready for transport for someone else to do the work 😄 Don't you hate it when you build up the Shaft and it's still undersize 😒 We used different process for reclaiming. Never really had the usual problems assorted with doing one offs that you managed to get stuck with. I'm guessing this job didn't exactly hit your hourly rate ?? The only positive you can take from it is you managed to at least getting a video out of the job 🙂👍

That was a job and a half Tom. Keeps the customer happy, which counts in the end I guess. Take care. ATB Tom. Cheers Nobby

Nice easy one , what else would you want to be doing in the middle of the night ! 👍

Right on Tom

Hi tom the shaft turned out good. This job would be perfect for a spray weld repair. Thanks

I just subscribed the reason. You’re doing whatever it takes to make the customer happy which makes me happy.😊 came out really good. Do you have that spray metal thingamajig he?

For your center I watched Adam B. He rested the qctp against the drill chuck to steady it, it worked.

Hi Tom, There's always a gotcha with rush jobs. 🙂 Nice job ready to be returned to the customer. I hope they appreciate the time you invested. Do you wish you had a flame spray welding rig?

Wow bit of dedication there, could do with a motorised welding table 👴🏻👍

Looks like you're keeping the whole town running Tom. That's a good thing for Hill Top. Must have been past Khaos's bedtime. Thanks for the video.

Good to see you've recovered from the fire how's caos?

The finished shaft looks great, Tom. Cheers Tony

Looks like a good application for spray welding?

Curious the total time and cost? In upstate NY with the quick turnaround, that would be an $800 job.

Isn’t that bearing supposed to press on?

Rush jobs double the hourly rate. LOL

Привіт з України 👍🤝🤝🤝🇺🇦 Удачі і мирного неба над головою.

Why weld it and warp it? Shrink a sleeve on it. Last forever. No warp.

Shit repair. 3 jaw, warped from multiple welds.

I think you jinxed yourself on that job when you said it was simple. Simple is one of the words I wish people would not use when talking about project work
