Gday Max, as I’ve said before there’s is always something to take away from all your videos, the tooling you’ve made to bloody awesome, the tramping tool is a brilliant idea and the ball turner is a work of art, your a good teacher in my opinion throughout your videos, thanks for sharing your tooling mate, Cheers

My wife and I are watching your video now and she laughed when she saw the mentos lollies 🍬. Dianne was surprised that I didn’t eat them also 🤣. The robot man is a little key ring holder. Cheers Max.

I made one too and still have it, thanks for another trip down memory lane. Cheers Peter

Hi Peter, totally relate, my 'fitting' module of my apprenticeship was the same deal, we had to file a 12" long 5/8" square out of a piece of 3/4 round bar. It had to be flat, square, parallel, straight and dimensionally correct. I got top marks and following assessment by the apprentice master, he promptly put it in a vice and whacked it with a big hammer to stop me passing it on to oe of the other lads to use, I nearly cried! Cheers, Jon

Nice lifting pedestal thingy for changing the slewing ring on the 385. I did a 345 a few years back and used wood cribbing and 50 ton Power team jacks and the boom as needed worked OK. Nice selection of tools. I so enjoyed the R-8 tooling series you did awhile back. That was fun. Cheers from New Hampshire USA

Had 2 100t jacks each side at the rear & the 50t overhead crane lifting the stick ( fully extended ) . One of the boom cylinders i removed & replaced with a solid link . Worked well , not sure why the Cat w/shop manual says to have the upper structure at an angle to the track frame . If i do another one i would probably have it at 90 deg . Cheers .

Some nice looking tools Max. I think the insulated sleeve around the beer bottle I saw in the background may be the most important tool in the shop. Especially over here right now as we are having one heat wave after another. A few weeks ago the village of Lytton, B.C., on the west coast, set a new Canadian record of 49.6 C. (I think that's getting into your Western Desert temperature range). The next day nearly every building in town burned to the ground after a forest fire swept through it. I'm looking forward to the fall. What is the name of the beer you drink in the clear bottles? Ken
