as said elsewhere ... discovered this guy recently and he's a clever fella ... this one is just WOW !!
he really knows his sh1t and is really good at explaining things
pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, sit back and be prepared to learn - a lot !!
(there are two previous episodes to this but this is just :cool::cool: and VERY educational)
the second half of the previous episode gives you a lead up to some of the hydraulic issues
I guarantee this is worth a careful watch

If your remotely interested in military aviation this is worth a watch. Obviously a PR stunt getting him on board but incredible all the same.
Aside from his slightly overly enthusiastic manners his stuff is interesting particularly the B52.

That is a must watch for anyone fault finding on electro-hydraulics, the part on valves failing to self centre was cleverly demonstrated 🙂

place I worked for, beginning of the '80s/1980(?), 'fore I started on my own, bought a brand new Poreba from Poland... would swing 40t 'tween ctrs.. :oops::cool::giggle:
I got tasked with assisting the Polish guy who came over to install it ... :love:
was a very interesting couple of weeks getting it in place on its 10ft deep foundation beds, levelled, aligned, set up and tested ....
somewhere I have some paper pix of it all :giggle:
was a beast of a thing, probably a little bigger than Kurtis's new toy (not watched the vid yet) ;)

bit of a toy :giggle:

the Poreba bed way was in 3 pieces plus the head stock ... below is similar but theirs had a bigger swing (IIRC was 8ft) .. see if I can't find the pix.

I do love those side loader trailers for the containers, but probably too heavy to run in the UK ... have to get a crane in to off 'em onto the floor or load onto trucks
have un packed and stuffed a few containers in my time too :giggle::giggle:
PAN X 2.JPG

this lot went to America to the parent Co. of an outfit I did a lot for .. this was the baby ... the 40s were stuffed with BIG bro.s to this one ... brought the m/cs to the yard, where it was easier to handle and stuff the boxes, with all our gear handy

rolls like these are the sort of thing that used to get machined in the Poreba,.


but much bigger .
1769191357594.png


done quite a bit of thermic lancing for them ...
but not the shafts - rolls used to arrive with the bearing chocks still in place and had to lance out the bearings first, then lance the inner races off the shafts ..

1769192851091.png
no chance of removing bearings in one piece
was a great place to work, experience-wise and learnt all sorts there .. :cool:
rarely did the same thing from one week to the next ... :giggle:
they tended to use me as a 'floater' as I'd turn my hand to anything - be fabricating one day/week, in the machine shop the next, out in one of their cranes, or fitting 'Tiretrac' chains all over the country ..:rolleyes:

Tiretrac - Tire Protection Chains

Learnt A LOT in the year I was there and did stuff I'd not have had the chance to, otherwise.
they did a huge amount for BSC in their works in Port Talbot and Llanwern ..
got me into places that few might see, collecting/delivering parts/bits/components in their lorry :love:

just googled them and are no more ...
dissolved in 2020 ...
The boss man was a hard but fair bloke to work for -
retired in '93 and a bloody brain tumour killed him 'bout 6 months later :( - had a lot of respect for him ..
his two boys however, were nutters :oops::(o_O

the rest of this is mostly dross, but the green shed is a pretty cool way of creating a building -- think the yanks call them Quonset style ... can get them in 10 ft lengths to bolt together with hundreds of bolts but this is just an amazing 'on site' method ... can't imagine it's cheap though
