Another job well done, Olly One of the only humble honest and decent channels on KZfaq. Fellow viewers Olly mentioned persons who view his channel with reference to seeing his cnc plasma table Let's help with his demographic information If you are a general viewer type (G) If you are a farmer type (F) If you are in the trade type (T) Leave a comment below mine stating your country, region & viewer type Here's my reply UK Devon (G)

When someone gets up early on a Sunday morning just to watch your videos you know you're doing something right pal.

Your desire to re-invest in your business rather than holidays etc will insure your success in the future. Do stop and smell the roses occasionally, it’s important to maintain your mental health. Your work ethic is quite admirable!

I was asked years ago to do the same repair as im no welder /fabricator i declined. it still sits in the yard surrounded by nettles ,A lot of people have no idea the skill level needed to do a job like this , You myfriend made it look easy a credit to your talent.Keep it up Oliver .

Like the attitude "Never mind fancy cars and vacations, just give me some new gear I can use to modify steel sheets!" 🙂

For the amount you use it that press is more than adequate, radial arm is another story. Old is mostly gold.

Hello from Canada. I recently found your channel after hearing a recommendation from another channel. You're the real deal. Don't change. You go about your business and bring us along; just the way I like it. Rural tradesfolk handle everything that needs fixing. You live the life so you know what your customer is using the equipment for. You're gradually adding great equipment and you're smart enough to design from scratch. You deserve all the well wishes you receive.

The benefits of being an influencer. You have only had your channel a relatively short time and already starting to see the advantages. You are getting more confident too. I happened to find your first episode just after you posted it. Big change. Good luck finding sponsors. Companies should definitely see how it could help their sales.

Nice job, Oliver. Do you know that people like you make this world go round? Not a lot of people can fabricate things anymore. Like you well done 👏

Amazing job on that bucket. You are an inspiration mate. Cheers from Canada.

Thanks for showing the parallel horizontal edges of the bucket as the operator would see it. To my eye you straightened things out beautifully. Enjoyed the post!

Dirty hands clean money, a ferfect slogan. Great sticker😊

Mate, the bucket, has had an hard life, the floor hanging out, lots of patch welds & pieces put in. You did an excellent job, with, getting it, as good as you did.

Wow! 50,000 subscriptions are in sight Olly! Thats brilliant! Nice repair too!

Ollie, thats a bucket repair that Baz and cal @ Welderfabber would be proud of!! 👍👍👍

Nice Job Oliver, looks like they dragged it out of the brambles. Yes you can make a Silk purse out of a Sows ear lol

Buckets are never the same when they have been bashing stuff into the ground, used to pry stuff out of the ground and slammed into piles of stuff. Of all the buckets I have repaired, not one has been square. And its pointless trying to square a bucket, so long as the mounts fit the machine and you have done your best that is all you can do. 5mm at one end can be 30mm (for example) out at the other end of the item. Tidy job on that bucket young man!

Before investing in replacing/upgrading stuff you already have, I would invest in stuff you don't have yet. First and foremost an overhead crane. You do very well in protecting your eyes, ears, lungs, hands, etc, but your back needs protection too. It's the one thing you cannot replace or upgrade.... Very nice job on the bucket once again! Cheers.

A second life for this bucket. Well done Oliver

Love watching these guys with their "new" tech, back when I was an apprentice it was 9 inch grinder or oxy-acetelene to remove old material. Oh if only we'd had plasma cutters and air fed masks. New follower here, now it's Snowball Eng. and CEE as my favourite KZfaq channels.

You wouldn't have known that's the same bucket, it looked destined for the scrap heap. Your press is a great advantage to your work👍

Super filming. Thanks

Another great job Oliver. Love the Sunday morning videos 👍

Another top quality job mate. Although i'll bet you that It'll be put straight to work without ever seeing a lick of paint!

Super job👍, never easy refurbishing old agricultural equipment.

Watching you work is great. Thanks for sharing 😊

Another superb repair on a bucket that looked only fit for scrap

Another great tidy job Oliver...a pleasure to watch thankyou

That was a very tired-looking bucket. The repairs look great...better than new!

Sunday and a "not so fun job" still showing your ingenuity and competency making it another well worth video to watch.

I would have had the same feeling at you. I'd want to square it, but it's already crooked, so it makes no sense to overwork the issue.....but I want it square.... keep up the good work. As a fabricator myself, I enjoy seeing your solutions.

With the work you’re doing & it’s very good , you definitely deserve upgrades for your machinery & good luck with achieving your goals

Wet start in north wales but snowball engineering brightens the day

Ahh sweet, a Snowball update!!

That bucket reminds me of triggers broom on only fools and horses it had 4 new heads and 9 new handles witch had had for 17 years !! Nothing wrong with farmer welding it keeps things useable untill a professional can sort it out properly well done olly

Nice job Oliver. Half the bucket replaced means half the cost to the customer, so half it is. After all, it's loading manure, not earth moving. Thanks for showing us how, Oliver. Cheers.

Thanks for the video Olly. I know you have repaired some of these before but still enjoying the workman ship that goes into them. 👍

No doubt, steel certainly is not free, at first I questioned rebuild but it quickly made sense when I thought of the numbers. Thanks for the upload!

Tidy job again Oliver thank you for sharing.

You are just amazing I could literally watch you for hours on end. Love your work and I also love how calm you are. Nothing seems to phase you. You just get on with it so laid-back great content amazing work and thank you for sharing it with us all. 😊

Beautiful job Oliver. You’re a real craftsman at work.

The customer was probably aware that you hate painting 😂 that bucket that was ripe for the skip, brilliant finish. As you like your press brake, not sure if there anyone out there that could do a head to toe service and provide it with the upgrades you need. As for your radial arm drill probably best to upgrade it, unless again there is anyone out there that can service it and upgrade it and bring it back in pristine condition. I like that your level headed, there are to many people out there who want everything at once, yes it would be nice but you have to be realistic. 👍

Better now than when it was new

I'm no machinist/fabricator, Oliver, but having watched several channels similar to yours over the years, I've noticed that most favor the older equipment when they can get their hands on good pieces--big old presses, big old milling machines and shapers, etc. But they do often have to rebuild certain components or make replacement parts when OEM are no longer available, just to keep them running well and in spec. If you do decide to, say, rebuild your milling machine to fix whatever is warn, we'd be up for watching ;)

Great job fixing the bucket Oliver. You should be proud of making it better than the factory with your upgrades for strength and durability for your customer. Hopefully they get several more years of use from the bucket. You might want to make your own gage for the back of the break. Look at how they make a slide table for a shear and I believe you can make something work for your needs. Great video and can't wait for the next one.

Awesome Job once again Ollie 😎👍👍 you ROCK MAN !!!

Really slick job Ollie. Every week I see a new to me technique from you. This week it was how you separated the sheets of steel with the fork lift using a small section of box. Brilliant. You inspire me every week with your abilities! Work safe and have a great week. Fred Ontario, NY

Yeah, that’s a nice project bucket turned out really good. Nice work as usual snowball.👍

Junk coming in... work of art going out!

another well done job with customer satisfaction

Like this man realistic down to earth, priorities in the right order, great work ethics

You made that look easy cracking job thanks.

Thanks! And now for a coat of paint!!!!

Farmers weld is called cocky Shit in Australia 🇦🇺 love your work

Good job! I especially liked the bent corner gussets! I'm guessing the customer wont paint it... "I'll be back"

Nice job Ollie! Cheers!

We have a CNC press brake at work, and for our use it's very overkill. Not to mention all the hazzles we have with it. If you're doing mass production it's a worthwhile investment, but for your one off jobs you should stick with something with less computer operation. You can upgrade the press brake you have with both a back stop and automatic depth/pressure regulation. The first one I used had a motorized back stop with a mechanical millimeter counter

That's a better then new bucket. Great job my friend as always. Stay well be safe, greetings from NE rural Ohio, 🇺🇸

You absolutely nailed it again Oliver, your channel has become one of the best KZfaq channels available, No fuss, No faff, just honest commentary from a man doing an honest day's work. Not interested in fancy holidays and cars, you simply want to update your workshop to help you do the best job possible says it all. I loved your "Tack it n Whack it" comment.

What another welcome weakly fix good job Olly

Hello Oliver, Another awesome video. From kiwi land

It would be great to see some of your repairs in operation by customers !!

Brilliant Video.

nice to see bit farm life outside the shed! lets see the cattle 😁

Fancy cars and holidays never last but new machinery will build your business well done oliver for another fantastic video

Super strong!

We both know Oliver there is nothing worse than fixing another person's work. Worst still is fixing a bucket that may not have been assembled right in the first place. As for painting it, considering its state when it arrived with all the cow dodo covering the inside, we both know the owner will not bother to paint it. Look at it. Just look at it. That bucket has not seen paint in whar, 20, 30 years or more. Did you see a speck of paint anywhere because I'm sure I didn't. Not unless it was rust coloured. Great work, Oliver. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚒️

The farmer definitely got his moneys worth and left that until the very latest he could before getting Oli to fix it properly 😅

You definitely get a lot of interesting jobs in for repair or making. No doubt you'll hit 50k subscriptions pretty soon.

Rock solid job - again, Mr Snowball! Thanks for showing us amateurs!

Good job as usual. I really enjoy watching your videos.

Brilliant job Oliver

I love watching you ,its great to see you run the shop . I also love your inventiveness.

People who abuse the equipment then do dodgy fixes and then , when it’s totally trashed out bring it to you and get back a better than new piece of kit . I hope you got well compensated for your time effort and skill for the repair of this muck bucket that was not even cleaned up before they brought it to you. I have been impressed with that old press it seems to me to be fit for the purposes you use it for ? Anything with electronic “CNC” kit on it will be ok for production repetition but a pain in the you know what to program for every job of the type of work you do. I think I would get a replacement radial arm drill first or find good horizontal boring mill for you money and type of work you have been doing .

Excellent job, what a transformation.

Marvelous, Little Master... I have thumbsupped all your videos. From Durban, South Africa... All the best my man...🤗

Great job Oliver, watching from Thailand. 👍

Another great video Oliver fantastic content keep them coming 👍

Nice work Oliver.

Great job Oliver 👏 👍

Watching a master at work is heart-warming, even for a non-engineer. You are truly a humble professional.

A real tidy job there - looks more like an industrial repair than agricultural, loved the use of a spacer for the stitch length ATB Dave

Great outcome. Your local farmers are lucky to have such a competent and committed tradesman.

It might not be possible yet financially but I’d suggest you erect an extension to your shed. Or build a large new one. That way you could use one for heavy engineering and maybe another for your machining. Space is quite limited in your current shed and you’d certainly make excellent use of it.

Watching from Brazil, keep up that good work.

Excellent repair

Looks great oliver

“Farmer welding.” 🤣🤣 Hey, wait a minute, while not a farmer, I too suck at welding. 🤣 Interesting and amazing work dude. ✊🏻

As good as ever Oliver. Watching you take a lump of scrap and turning it back into a useful tool is simply a joy to watch. Charge them lots. You're not a charity!

Congrats, good job Olly

Great work Olly, re-investment will stand you in good stead for the future

Hi Ollie, Given the price of steel these days we can't afford to throw any thing out that has some life left in it. most of your followers would not be aware of the cost of a sheet of steel these days. The bucket was only buggered up to the wind and water line anyway. Good repair mate. Thanks for sharing. Bruce.

Excellent job, well done. Take care

I love to watch you design and cut out your work , very well done , S E Texas, See Ya

at the end thats a brand new bucket, wel done. cheers ben.

Mega project, The heel protector, are chonky, bucket will have plenty of life on it

Brilliant Olly

Top job as always 👌

Awesome job! I like to see a work well done. Thank you for the lesson!

Well done.
