I'm an old retired mechanic / welder . This guy is the ultimate Cool Hand Luke. The welding with one hand , turning the shaft with the other , shield clamped on the knees , smoking ; I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd been watching a cricket match on a 12 inch black and white TV at the same time .

Being a retired machinist after 46 years in the US, …. I was very impressed. I have never seen this done before ! Great work !!

I am in awe of this guy. His "health and safety" is a bit behind modern practice (wristwatch, ring, no eye protection) but the skill level is something I haven't seen for decades.

Imagine the work this man could do in a modern machine shop. Extremely impressive what he can accomplish with the limited tools. Hats off

I've seen a lot of engine machining in my time, but this guy is a SKILLED man!

WOW, one of the best 47 minutes I have spent recently. What a Guy, did the whole job from start to Finish. Such a constant weld pattern, puts shame to a lot of Industrial welding that come out the factories these days. Well done, excellent job all round.

This guy is the Fred Mercury of welding, machining, turning and more! One of the exceptional works I've seen so far on UKposts. Congratulations!

Hi from Australia, absolutely fantastic. These are the tradesmen that we dont have here anymore, you sir "ARE THE MAN"

Не буду вдаваться в подробности лопнет не лопнет. В СССР тоже делали ,правда коленвалы лично не делал и не видел. Но на Москвиче 408 резьбовые верхние на передних рычагах сам делал. Приятно смотреть работу профи.)))

Clearly he has done this so many times it is second nature. I have never seen a crankshaft rebuilt this way. We used to rebuild two stroke cranks which were built up type, but these are pressed together. I would not have believed it financially viable to weld up a broken crank, but clearly where he comes from it is. Hats off to you Mr Engineer, you are a hand skills master.

I'm a machinist and I just went to school. I followed everything this guy did and he is spot on. The welding and straightening of the crank is at the top of his ranks. I want his autographed picture on a Tshirt..

Absolutely amazing. True artists indeed. Making whole new crank shafts with a machine is one thing but to repair them by hand using basic tools is another. God level.

Молодец мастер. Коренную шейку варит ручным аппаратом не беспокоясь о цементации. Сколько же такой вал проходит? Судя по их количеству на полу, без работы не сидит! Ударник!

Before everyone gets the idea that they can do this with what came out of their old Chevy or Dodge, you best consider this: This crank is NOT cast iron. It is in reality forged steel. That little gob of weld on the end of the first piece is their way of checking to see what material it is. If it doesn't take a weld like that they junk it. Once the material is established you can see how it machines. Cast iron does not machine large chips as shown but more like a sand or powder. Forged steel will leave large chips like those shown. Another telltale is at 11:34 with the other end of the crank. You can see how the throw has been cut down with a cutting torch to save on machining. Cast iron will not cut very well if at all with a torch. Also, if you look carefully, from time to time you can see the marks left from where the forging dies join together. You can repair a forged steel crank this way and if you are careful to get the two pieces back into alignment there is no reason why it won't work. I have seen large cranks used in industrial engines that were fabricated from smaller components and welded together much the same way as this.

All that calibration done by eye with such minute measurements is impressive. I don't know how confident I would feel installing that crankshaft into an engine I intended to use though with regard to the tolerances and stresses etc. Lol. The part at the end (44:00) watching his hand acting like the piston made me LOL!!!

30 minut Facet spawa, trzyma osłonę, obraca wał i jeszcze pali papierosa! Mistrz nad mistrze

I am a mechanic here in America and I enjoy watching all you gentlemen working together as a team.All of you are amazing!

Given the primitive conditions and machinery this man has to work with, he's a master craftsman. I have never seen a crankshaft repaired this way. Unbelievable skill.

Incredible engineering, some of the best I have seen, totally powered by 1 cup of tea and about 20 cigarettes!

This complex mechanic action deserves respect for a skilled guy. I am really impressed.

To all the people saying to just get a new crank: We are so blessed to have that option, a lot of people don't have that option. I am blessed to buy and order new parts for my business, and to drive a new truck. This repair was probably as good as you can make it given the circumstances

Отработанное масло в соседнем гараже наверное восстанавливают!!!!

I'm a 37y/o woman who's only mechanical experience is changing the motor oil on a car I had once like 12y ago... but I can't stop watching your videos. It's so satisfying to see such skilled laborers like clockwork! Keep it up!

Would love to see this guy in a modern machine shop ....after a year or so of learning how they work he would be capable of ANYTHING!

Вот это человек! Я за токарным станком уже 33 года, но такого не видел. По началу думал очередной шарлатан. Но парняга молодец! При минимуме инструмента, и в таких условиях сделал все грамотно. Красавчик!!!

A real talented and experienced machinist, a pleasure to watch such skill.

Respect to these guys they are not basic Mechanic, they do heavy work just to provide their familes 🙏🙏🙏

Best machinist I’ve ever seen and he works so purposely. You can tell he takes pride in his work. Love it.

Судя по методу ремонта,с каждым днём,работы будет все больше.🤫

Given that the machinery he is using is not exactly state of the art he is without doubt a very skilful engineer, probably self taught, and commands great respect. Whether the crank will last is a matter of how it will be used...but he will always be there to repair it again. Brilliant amazing person...top marks

You guys are wonderful. Here in Germany, you only hear "broken, buy new". This is terrible for sustainability in our planet just to throw everything away. You guys are heroes!

Крутость токаря конечно зашкаливает напрочь! Но, братан, побереги глаза на сварке. А так я просто в восхищении!! Все как у нас - также и чиним, и подвариваем...

Damn, wow. To the comments about this being a bad idea - yeah, if you can get/afford replacement parts. But in the end it's your local economics and circumstances that make the call. If his customers find value in his work and he's making a living, then 👍

Good lathe hand and a very good welder too. I noticed he was careful to keep the ways on his lathe clean and that says a lot about him.

This Man is amazing, a skilled professional, as skilled as any Surgeon!

Да спецы! На таком оборудовании просто высший пилотаж! ❗😀

I have watched this and it’s truly outstanding. I have been building and modifying engines for 40 years but this is on another level. If this chap had all the equipment available in our country what he could accomplish would be unbelievable. On a humorous note I couldn’t help notice the safety gear he had when welding the crankshaft to save weld splatter burning his toes in his sandals. Namely what appeared to be a piece of cardboard or something from a welding rod box? First class you are in a league of your own👍👍

Послушайте а Пакистанцы случайно не раньше нас в космос полетели а ???!!! Меня теперь терзают смутные сомнения после этого фильма :)

Amazing job, these guys have skill at the tip of their fingers, keep up the good work all the best to you guys

As a welder and mechanic this is very impressive .

Глядя на этих ребят, челябинские токари отдыхают похоже 😂😂😂

My high school machine shop instructor, Phil Meyers, taught us to tighten from all three of the drill chuck key points. Just like this guy did. Mr Meyers was a hell of a teacher.

What An unbelievable craftsman!! I did mechanical engineering myself and also worked with the tools het uses. He in comparison works with the speed of light, very thorough and precise in such a primitive condition. Deep admiration for this Guy from Leiden, the Netherlands 🙂😙👍👍

Удивительно! Не ремонтное делать ремонтным! А как долго проходит видимо зависит в каком был настроение мастер во время исполнения восстановительных работ В любом случае уважение за то что в такой блудняк вписывается!

Out of all the things iv seen fixed. This guy is about the best even looks after his machines the place is clean and tidy first time if seen a clock being used as well. Even his welding shoe was a step above the rest. Granted one day that lathe is going to bite him.

Это высокий уровень профессионализма, опыт и талант. В России искореняют профессию токарь продуманно и злонамеренно, вот это обидно.

Мастер супер , смотрится процесс очень интересно. Но в конце , по науке, надо произвести закалку шейки , для долговременной работы коленвала... Мастер перестань курить так много)))

Mis respetos hacia estos verdaderos artesanos, son de una habilidad eh ingenio muy nato en ellos, saludos y un gran reconocimiento a estos grandes maestros del torno. Desde Mérida yucatan, México.

Very Good work. Did anyone else notice that he didn't quite line up both parts of the crankshaft at 24:39 ?... but he did correct this at 25:19 when he put the whole crankshaft back on the lathe and hammered it downwards to rotate the broken end of the crankshaft so that it is aligned perfectly...

There’s guys in machine shops that can’t do this with the best equipment money can buy much respect as a machinist I respect this

A true craftsman always uses his hands, these Pakistani men are very resourceful

That was a very good job. You could not tell that it had been broken. Looks brand new. Very skilled at his job, and takes pride in his work.

Всем утерли нос.Какие бы коментарии не писали ремонт супер и будет работать.А тем кто пишет что так нельзя они доказывают делом.Просто молодцы.Нет условий а они творят чудо.

Чувак! Бросай курить! Мы хотим от тебя еще много интересных видео!

I feel so privileged to have watched such a craftsman at work.............................. thank you so much.

That was truly amazing, skillful; and done without any "high tech" equipment. I specially like the way he lays down new steel with a simple stick welder!

This man is amazing! The best multitasking skill I ever seen. Congratulation and God bless you!!!!

It's good to see the art of repair and don't throw away is still alive. We in the states have lost that talent.

It is always quite interesting to see a man at work when this man is full of knowledge,.Thanks for sharing on UKposts. Great job.Bravo

Wow! Absolutely incredible craftsmanship!! I'd run it without hesitation!

Hidden Gem. What a weld and final product. Never thought this could be done. Mechanic of 60 years.

There are very few people who know how to make these repairs, this works, you are a good turner and a very good welder. A great job !!!

I try to be a good mechanic, i rarely make comments on youtube. but i had to watch the whole video with great respect. thank you.

Хорошо работа особенно сварочная работа 👍

Being a machinist for over 55 years great job .I have done plenty of cranks !

The skill of this man is undeniable, I just don't know how much faith I would put into a crank that was twisted in half, especially in a diesel.

i want this guy to do all my machining. That was awesome and amazing!

Very talented. I am truly amazed with other counties in how they do things without the high tech assistance. Keep up the great work guys.

As amazing as it is, what amazes me more is that he still has a full set of fingers on each hand. That's not being critical, just an observation from how many times he turns his head away whilst machining. Anyway, well done to that man.

Очевидное невероятное, даже не верится что после сварки этот коленвал будет нормально выполнять свои функции. Специалист однако. Оbvious incredible.

Some of the best work has come from people and shops you’d have never suspected.

This man has done a fantastic job. Hopefully his great work holds up under a load inside an engine. You can tell he loves his job and is dedicated.

The guy sitting down is just happy to be hiding in the shop from his wife. Universal truth.

Нет слов! Токарь и сварщик от бога! Всё это идёт от нищеты, коленвалы варить, покрышки штопать, колёсные диски из трёх сваривать и т.д.

Some of the best machining i have ever seen. Great work guys!

Bravo to this man !! Doing that every day, for hours !!! It's so physical !!

Impressive! Very impressive! I never knew anyone repaired crankshafts. With the amount of work that went into that repair I would have thought that it would be cheaper to just go out and buy a new one. That was neat to watch just the same. Well done!

Экономика понятна: один человек за полдня восстановил коленвал. В Пакистане у двигателя нет права на смерть.

Ya quisiera cualquier taller de este rubro, tener a un tornero con las habilidades de este hombre para, resolver a la perfección cualquier tipo de estos trabajos y con maquinas mas bien antiguas y precarias, un derroche de talento! pura habilidad e ingenio..felicitaciones!

These are born geniuses , I like the way he checks the trueness and with such speed and expertise You can never tell where the break was, excellent job As good as new

The skill level of this guy is amazing and I'm sure if you check this Crank professionally the results will be great. This guy has engineering in his blood and does not need university degrees

Невозможно представить как так можно на токарке все сделать. Красавчик мастер!

Totalmente hipnotizante,. Es un total deleite ver a una persona que hace su trabajo de manera tan exelente.

This fellow is very skilled and the repair he has done very clever, it should not be compared to what would be acceptable in other places of the world . Poverty is at work in this man's workshop he has my respect

As a lifelong machinist, it makes me sad this is the reality of the world we live in Much respect to these guys ,hope life gets better for you

not only a great machinist but an amazing welder too

I’m amazed at what these guys can do, l haven’t found one guy or machinist who could do this, Amazing.👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

Parabéns, trabalho de artesão, não sabia que era possível soldar vira requisito, fez do jeito que imaginei. Parabéns. Brasil.

Truly amazing skills, this is what the world needs true craftsmen engineers who really know their stuff. Hats of to this chap his work and attention to detail is superb. Thank you for sharing. Cheers. Andy.Scotland.

Increíble el trabajo que hace! Y en las condiciones que está haciéndolo. Los felicito. Saludos desde Argentina.

That guy is an expert, at his profession ,he knows what he is doing, pretty amazing process to go through, to repair the broken Crankshaft

I love this...It teaches high end machinist to learn the basics well and yet in a very economical way...May I ask what welding rod is this please?

Skvelá práca a neuveriteľná zručnosť. Od vás sa môžu učiť konštruktéri zo svetových strojárskych firiem.

Специалист номер один,респект и уважуха!

Increíble trabajo mucha dedicación de parte de el tornero muy autosuficiente realmente digno de admiración 👏

It's always pleasure to watch Pakistani mechanics doing miracles , one can learn alot from these hardworking guys

Fascinating! Regardless of whatever "best practices" are and or if it will last , its amazing that this could be attempted at all, and with such precision with manual tools and his god given 5 senses (mostly his eye and hands). I was brought here by youtube's algorithm, and been binge watching various other craftspeople/machinist/fabricator/engineers or what ever you may choose to refer to them. It would appear to me that not one shop will fix all...I think you have places that specializes in various disciplines like in this case he obviously a master of repairing cams and other may say be for axles, engine blocks etc. The guy may not have a degree in engineering (I assume) but my goodness amongst the lot Ive seen so far, this one seems to be one of the best, and you get a sense of confidence in his work. Of course there are the opposites as well, just got reminded of outliers as with life in general..... Really inspires me to not take things for granted and consider what can be done if you put your mind to it......

Timing the journals with the coat hanger, I love it! Nice work 🤙🏼

Now days you don't see too many people with your skill set. In any trade really. Amazing work.

Awesome job ,, Determination and work ,, This guy is an ARTIST rebuilding those parts .. I am sure most people agree with that, Thanks for the upload , I really enjoy it ans also learn from it ...
