    English subtitle is now available for those who needs it.
  • This channel is one of these rare awesome corners of YT. Sir, your skills and video editing are really good.
  • @JohnnyMotel99
    Nice to see the old A-Class put to such good use here.

    I'm 62 years old. I've done industrial construction work my whole life, working on powerhouses, chemical plants, refineries, and paper mills for over 40 years. Your craftsmanship and work ethic amazes me. Thank you, sir, for your service. You do incredible work with a wide range of skills. Like I said, I am amazed. However, I would strongly suggest wearing a respirator or dust mask as often as possible while grinding or welding. You don't want to end up with COPD or emphysema like me. MY golden years will not be very well enjoyed because of the things I've breathed up in my life while working construction. It's really hard to get anything done around here while being so short of breath.
  • @geoffrey6000
    This is unbelievable. Never knew there actually are youtube fabricators that make machinery this big. This is actually impressive.
  • If someone would have suggested that I would be spending my Christmas holidays voluntarily watching a 3,5 hours youtube video about someone building stuff I would’ve declared them senile. But yet here I am, happily watching one of the best videos of 2022. Hopefully it won’t be the best one of 2023 and there will be more to come! Happy New Year from the Netherlands.

    I like your editing style because you don't keep rambling about what you're gonna do, then show 2 minutes of doing followed by more rambling, It's pure "show, don't tell"
  • @BarnStangz
    Man... This is EXACTLY what I love about the internet, being able to find all these cool videos of other people from around the world that make cool stuff! Bravo, that thing turned out MINT!
  • Even though I'm a MASSIVE fabrication geek, I would normally think hard about whether I'd watch a 1.5 hour video. Let alone a 3+ hour video. I have been PLEASANTLY surprised by your fabrication skills, work ethic, and the editing. You don't spend 15 mins showing the same thing, yet you don't skimp on details either. Somehow you've managed to find the right balance (at least from my perspective). So far I've only done 1:45hrs. Shame I actually need to go and start some work.... I'll come back later to finish it! 😄
  • Mr. Bjoernstroem, I am a retired college professor, 75 years old and I am mesmerized by your technical expertise! I can't help asking myself "How did this young man acquire so much technical and practical knowledge in the few years he has lived on this earth!!??" You make everything look so easy and yet I know what you are doing is complex and requires a high degree of technical knowledge, accuracy, and precision. You, sir, are a national treasure. Thank you for allowing us to watch a genius at work!
  • When I was a kid I operated a Jaw Crusher on a much grander scale. While these are a huge machines to build, the technology itself (to break up large rock) is pretty basic. I commend Bjoernstroem for this undertaking and recording it for those who are machine curious and for our enjoyment. Great work and wonderful outcome!
  • I am in absolute AWE!! I am 65 years old, and I used to work with my father in his shop when I was much younger. He would have really admired the way you work and the incredible job you have done! What a project! Wow! I'm going to share this with my brothers and my sons. Great job! You have excellent equipment, and you really have vision and ambition. Thanks for a great video!
  • @rjcr63
    Congratulations, you master working with metals and you have the necessary equipment to develop and complete a tremendous project. Although the video is long, they edited it in such a way that you condensed 6 months of work into 3 hours 25 minutes and it is so well condensed that no detail is lost. The only thing I didn't understand was using a car as a support for the conveyor belt. I follow you from Caracas - Venezuela.
  • Excellent work! From the chain link/hatch lock to the conveyor belt support system. Super impressive!
  • That was great work, MB. I'm amazed at your abilities. Awesome shop and equipment, too. I'm so jealous!
  • @huntz3215
    Use to feel good about the trailer I built 35yrs ago n still use, now I feel humbled by your efforts. Great work.
  • I have two 100 year old jaw crushers, some technology just doesn’t change. To me there is something satisfying about watching a jaw crusher turn big rocks into little rocks.
  • Accidentally left YouTube on autoplay and stumbled onto the Gone With the Wind of Camarata-esque metal fabrication videos. Only 30 minutes in and I’m hooked. Great video 👍🏻
  • That’s three hours of my life well spent. Your ideas are creative and the solutions to problems that come your way are very clever. I will watch more videos because it does give me my own ideas and solutions for things that I have been doing. Stay healthy.
