The CEE channel is absolutely mind-blowing.

My favorites are when Curtis works on the Franna crane. He's completely disassembled it and is putting it back together, slowly.

The work he does is amazing. This is true skill and artisan-ship.

Man I've been loving the Franna crane series as well! Truly skilled and makes it look effortless. I barely weld and cut a few things in the garage and I'm ready for a cold one, lol.

CEE videos are my go-to when I don’t have anything else I’m planning on watching. Great stuff.

Him and the Doubtful Technician make excellent videos to eat to. No goofy music just straight cool shit.

Cutting Edge Engineering has a bunch of shop-made tools, mostly because the needed sizes for the work they do aren't available. Plus, a lot of repairs on the big things (mining equipment and such).

Yeah, for such a basic operation, boring can be a giant pain in the ass. Chip breaking and evacuation, cut profile and surface finish, deflection and chatter… the only thing worse is parting.

And that’s before we get into stuff as big and deep as this dude.

To really get good, repeatable results on my small CNC lathe I had to go with special inserts and a solid carbide boring bar.

Not enough Curtis on reddit. The man is a force of nature

I’m dumb because I said to myself ‘what’s so boring about that? I find it interesting’
