Russian Youtoob Videos
« on: June 21, 2018, 11:11:45 AM »
I love watching YT vids of how other people go about shop work and their projects. Lately I have gone down the rabbit hole of foreign uploaded videos (from the sidebar suggestions). I have no idea what the titles, descriptions, or comments say, but the quality is sometimes outstanding. Seems the old school, get-it-done-however-possible, ways are still alive and well in other parts of the world, and people are glad to share their methods. It's interesting watching things being done in ways that date to a simpler time, when everything was scrounged, rather than store bought. Craftsmanship and ingenuity are not hindered by a language barrier. And since the comments are unreadable, I have no idea if the standard safety trolls are trying to stir things up.

A few examples. Not always NASA grade work, but still truly skilled tradesmen

nice.   thanks.   the welding job reminded me of helping my neighbor fix the arm to the bucket on his commercial ford tractor which had split.   our wasn't that big and we didn't have mig, but it's still holding. :smiley:

LOL I post something and it's a magnet for real russian spam. ^

Man watching them fix that Doosan boom was neat. Some of it I didn't understand why they did what they did, but I bet they ain't tearing that thing up again!

I'd like to see the video of how they broke the Doosan boom in the first place!  I bet that was used way beyond its limits.

Those imported excavators (doosan, sany, china knockoffs) are plain junk. The metal is thinner everywhere on them, and the hydraulics are enough to rip pieces off if you hook an immovable object. Hydraulic hammers cause havoc on any flavor of machine, starting cracks all over, especially near weld joints.

The last video on the sheet roller.  I didn't mark the time when it was said, he was holding a handful of some sort of adjustment jacks, and the words "bull sh^t" came out, and the handful of stuff was thrown across the room.  Funny how that phrase is used world wide and pretty much has the same meaning, too!

Happens everytime, doesnt it? Also, not to be offensive to any nation, but Russians are just crazy. I'm afraid to look at any of those videos for this reason alone. A couple of years ago I've watched a couple of those "Driving in Russia" videos and I haven't been the same person ever since. Insane what happens in this country on daily basis
