id love a go on one of those franna cranes...ive done a decent bit on liebherr and terex city cranes with pick and carry but those frannas are next level for manouverability
very impressive lathe too, i watch HAL heavy duty quite a bit and they use mega bore machines, the scale of work is astounding compared to the 30mm bits of brass adn delrin i received today

I enjoyed it - never seen their stuff before but the algo threw this up while my wife is shedding braincells watching The Traitors, so I'm happy it did!Quite relaxing watching his work,out takes are funny,his dog has some gonads
As an aside, I found it amazing that there's no difference between that and my lathe, except for scale.

Yeah I think the conversion was to £80k gbp but that's not with dro or accessories.

You now have a few years worth of catching up to do. Hal heavy duty is a similar channel but instead of mining equipment being repaired, is drill rigs and mostly CNC machines although a fair bit of manual work too

Watched it earlier (CEE one of my regulars) and was suitably impressed. When it gets going, that chuck bloomin' terrifying.
Well that's you sorted for the next year - he's an incredibly competent but understated guy. Karen's video production is also top-notch. It's one of the few channels that manages to avoid getting 'same-ey' IMHO.

Yep - watched a few tonight now. Karen knows what's going on, too, and adds some helpful commentary / questions. Kurtis is quite funny in that he is faaaaaar from a comfortable presenter, but he does a great job of explaining what he's about to do and I love the bloopers.
Re the chuck - I'd have been well back when I hit the go button the first few times! I've had my own chuck part company (in reverse) once before, and that was scary enough.

Great episode. I'm usually on dad duties Friday morning so can watch at least some when they go up
The HAL videos can be a bit boring at times, later ones are better and I understand the kit he is making from my time with much smaller drilling rigs
I also used to have a beard similar to Matt's

I’ve become a massive CEE fan but I can’t believe Kurtis wouldn’t have shown himself checking the bolts on that chuck, before letting his wife stand in front of its axis running at full speed, even if they had used it to lift the whole machine earlier.

I'm sure our aussie members will confirm - but my understanding is good quality old iron are fairly slim pickings in the land down under - and shipping anything in costs a fortune. So a lot of the machine tools tend to be Taiwanese or Chinese. I'd imagine a business investment like that needs to be something new and turnkey as well.

As a home gamer, my ww2 era smart and brown is by far a better option than anything new of the same size...but as a business I would definitely want new, reliable, with a warranty and after sale support if needed
