I am a mechanic for a paving contractor and it is crazy how abrasive asphalt is and how fast the augers wear out. Awsome work
-
Sure shows the power of a weld,amazing
-
Reminds me of building cement mixers 50 years ago. On a smaller scale mind you. 1/4 metal and really long pry bars.

It would be interesting to me if you could do a video about how your got into the business and how you learned so many incredible skills. I've been a subscriber since day one with your channel but I've not watched all your videos. With August coming up I'll have more down time to watch so If you've already talked about your biography then no worries. I'll find it.

You can do the same with a winch or come along. Stretch the coil between a couple trees etc and carefully tack it in several places before welding it out later. The hard part is measuring and cutting the plates just right.

That's amazing, thanks for sharing!

Great job as always. All the right tools.
-
Great ingenuity as always! Nice job.!
-
You know a video is interesting when it's 12 minutes long but goes by in 1 1/2 minutes!
-
I certainly do learn things on this channel. Nice to have this problem solved. Asphalt is one of those things that you want to go right, because once it cools it's a stuck mess.

Love this. An old dog can learn new tricks from you!

Great stuff as always!

Brilliant solution to fabbing up an auger. Have done a few auger repairs myself. Two augers in different boilers that remove ash from the bottom of the firebox had burnt and worn away over the years leaving virtually nothing but the tube. My cutomer supplied the flites and just welded them on. One of them was so badly damaged it needed a section of tube too. A very interesting vidoe young man!

genius absolute genius! 👍👍

Another great video...I agree who would have thought that asphalt would wear down that auger. Must be the aggregate in the asphalt.
-
Now THAT was a cool video to watch!

Very cool making your own auger flyte. For long augers it's commercially available made to size from a single piece but then you'd have to wait on it, hope they got it right, and pay for it!
