The cleaning guy sure knows a lot about engines. We need more cleaning guys just like him. Love the precision work for sure.

Really appreciate machinists more after discovering this channel

as an hvac guy for 28 years i’m proud to admit i know absolutely nothing about what you two are talking about but i love this channel.. it’s my new favorite,
thanks for what you guys do

Retired moldmaker/toolmaker here.. for over 50 years. So love your channel! Relate to all the procedures, checking, dialing in, grinding/maching and bringing it all together as you guys do.. great job as always!

As a CNC operator on a production crankshaft line in a major automotive production factory. What you are correcting here is moving this crank into specs and limits that I see at work. Amazing work gentleman.

As a mechanic and having my ol' man now just hit his 80's, seeing your dad have the wiggles but having machines with such fine control that it allows him to continue doing what he loves doing just gets me in the feels! Your dad is like an entire encyclopaedia set and the stuff he has forgotten is probably more than I'll ever learn. Love seeing you 2 work together.

Best quote of the day, "There is enough needle movement to know I am actually measuring."
Attention to minute details and targeting extremely small tolerances is impressive for cheap help. :-)

I am always impressed by machinists……they are almost always humble like this too….I get lost in the numbers and math but I can tell he has it figured out properly……great video showing how it’s done

[glxcrusin]

And this is why I had no issue paying my local machine shop a bit extra to make sure my engine build was done right! Love the videos Gentlemen! Top notch 👍👍

[SupremeRuleroftheWorld]

this just shows how easy this job is when even the cleaning guy in a shop can do it.

[Gregorybridgewater]

Goes to show that out of the box by a reputable company isnt always ready to install. This is why its so important to find the right machinist, because no two of those are the same either. We need more like you guys, experienced and always learning every single day.

It's very satisfying to witness the strict attention to detail and precision. After watching some of your videos, it's very easy to bring something in for a job and not have to worry about " do they know what they're doing?" kinda thoughts. Great job salvaging that crank..

[JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

I wish everyone took as much pride in there work as you two guys, the cleaning guy is doing a great job. Lol

[raycollington]

The detail in getting this crank right from aspects is fascinating. Most of us just look at the journal and want the least material removed. Great video and full respect for your crank grinding skills.

[philjohnson]

Being old enough to be the cleaning guy's father and having had a master machinist for MY father, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see there are still people with a perfectionist's mentality and the skills and knowledge to apply them. Well done you two, well done!

[claytoncoolidge]

Lol 😂 your Dad is a great sport. But he's a even greater machinist

[greggkiest]

Educational and it’s equally interesting watching you two.

[petercunningham]

Great to see someone who really cares about the details and finished product being as good as possible 👍👍👍🇦🇺

[elmonteslim]

The amount of precision work is astounding. These guys are very skilled.

I really like how your channel has a mix of projects. It's not just one type. New stuff Old stuff and even Tractors. A nice mix, keep up the good work.
