This Weather Is INSANE (and It's Not Done Yet)

It's been a WET week in the Machine Shop! In today's video we're machining up a big 'bowl' to help centralise rods on The Big Rig. To do it, we need to make a few alterations to "Tiny" - the largest boring bar in the shop. At nearly 1m long and 150lbs (65+kg), this big shop made tool needs a crane to get hoisted into place. You can see how we built the Boring Bar here... https://youtu.be/t_C-82sk2Ck?si=4et98eM9KiONZnj0 Enjoy! And thank you ALL for your support. We just hit 40,000 Subscribers. It's incredibly humbling to know that so many people get a kick out of what we do. So thank you. Especially you Keith. Legend. ABOUT HAL HEAVY DUTY We're a real life machine shop for DEPCO Drilling - a 60 year old drilling company located in Central Queensland, Australia. Our job is to keep rigs running in the field - fixing all the stuff drillers break and creating all the custom gear they need to get the job done! We run two CNC's, manual repair lathes, a few mills and a big green Megabore Lathe we call "THE HULK"... and are constantly having to make weird and wonderful tools for odd (usually oversize) jobs. We're a little shop that takes on big projects, and the latest is our MEGADRILL project where we're manufacturing a 3.0m (10 foot!) drill bit that'll weigh upward of 20 tonnes and we're getting ready to send it 250m (800+ feet) deep. If you want to catch up on the progress... here's the latest on the project. https://youtu.be/OKPr15PucGQ?si=dTVN39xDaAYi3Je9 https://youtu.be/mK3slsayuZM?si=kB4koTj7MrkngnlJ https://youtu.be/qtsz7cLtDY8?si=LL-ip0p-M-FVsoTs https://youtu.be/j_g8wMRu7wc?si=_PO-F-opHgggzjU1 https://youtu.be/r796Mw4j1gM?si=_9yPWEgUw4b10d5e We release our weekly video at 1pm Friday (AEST), so be sure to subscribe if you want to see stuff you really won't find anywhere else!
