Great repair video but even better seeing a young man learning a skill, thank you for teaching this young man.

What a great opportunity for your assistant to learn your skills. You allow him to do some serious work and not just spend the day handing you tools. You got me hooked: I'm a subscriber for life!
-
This took me back to being an apprentice pressman. What a gift to work under an accomplished professional!
-
Nothing like fixing the "other guy's" attempt at repairing it. You know what they say, there's nothing more expensive than a cheap mechanic.

It's this kind of thing that shows why professionals should be paid well. Simple, ingenious, direct and effective. What a lot of people still don't understand (which is kind of sad) is the time and personal sacrifice it takes to arrive at this kind of approach. It is for this time that they pay. Great video as always.

Have to agree with many of the other posts on how great it is to see the master and the student relationship not only to get practical experience but to show a different approach to solving the problem using hydraulics. This is the true value of the experienced teaching the less experienced and you only learn this in real life situations. A joy to see and as always great content.

I was a tall skinny farm boy that worked on old farm machinery a lot. I was 6’2” and weighed 150 when I graduated. I learned back then that you have more power when doing like the torque wrench by being on the other side. Lift it to tighten it. You are limited by your weight on the side used. Since your legs can easily lift your body weight, they can tighten way more. Big machines amaze me still!

Such a polite and nice teacher. Something to think about, talking through the operations to the camera sort of like the apprentice. I love learning things in your videos.
-
Super impressed how you interact with your apprentice. Calm, guiding him not telling him and passing on your knowledge. I have almost 40 years in the piping trade and have trained many apprentices. You are a credit to your trade.
-
Greg, You are a clever man. Your contraption fixed what others failed to do. Bravo
-
Please teach your helper not to pull that torque wrench towards his head. That is a great way to knock yourself out when it slips or bolt breaks off. Pull off to the side, or better yet push down. From somebody that learned the hard way.
-
Thx for showing that shear action at the end that's really close tolerance.
-
I used to use that exact same torque wrench to tighten to T-tail bolts on C-141 aircraft in the Air Force. But we had to do it in a confined space, on your back.
-
That torque ratchet is freaking spectacular!
-
You sound like a very good teacher. Keep it light hearted for the boy. Make sure he does it right. I see a bright future for him under your teaching. And he will do it right.
-
So cool to see such pride in a man’s work “make sure it’s clean, grab a cloth”!!!! You’re a great role model and instructor.

Used to work on them mobil shears all the time, the blades have to remain close to each other otherwise the thinner material can get lodged in between the two blades, sometimes you can soak the area down with a good penetrating oil and let it soak for an hour or so that helps free up the jams. Main thing is keep the blades adjusted correctly. Keep the leading edges of the blades square. You can work on them almost every day depending on the volume and material they shear. Love your videos !
-
Nice to see I'm not the only one actually explaining why we do something a certain way instead of just expecting the apprentice to follow our instructions verbatim without context. Makes it a lot easier to fix something if you know how it works!
-
You'll have to feed the apprentice more if he continue these workouts 😄
-
There's nothing like breaking new equipment!! Thank you for your videos!!
