Most YouTube creators are having to trim their content down to 12-15 minutes so they can hold the attention of their viewers. I would wager that this channel is one of the very few where viewers watch every last minute of content. I think that speaks volumes about both the quality of the production from Karen and the quality of the work and content from Curtis. You guys always put together compelling projects and we especially love the outtakes and bloopers!

This one of those one-in-a-thousand channels even among the big channels. Curtis is really good at what he does and Karen's camera work and editing is top-notch. Likeable people and they treat the cute doggo and the wild crows with such kindness. I bet a lot of people never thought they'd one day be religiously watching the refurbishment of a crane boom cylinder.

Karen, The quality of your filming and editing is excellent. The pace and storytelling is just superb.

Watching Kurtis remove those bearings with an oxy cutter is yet another example of a guy who has obviously played this particular game of silly buggers before and won. The dude is a feckin’ ARTIST. Well played mate, very well played indeed. 🤟🏻

There is nothing on Netflix, or the 5 other streaming services I pay for, that is more compelling to watch than this crane series. I’m totally hooked!

That o-ring to slide the other o-ring to protect it from the pick was pretty slick!

That crane is getting so much love. But can we just take a moment to appreciate how much of an MVP that forklift is!

This Franna crane series is an edge of the seat experience. Will Kurt be able to put all the bits and pieces, nuts and bolts back together again. Putting the videos up for view on Fridays is such a tonic for a working man--at the end of a working week there's nothing better than a few beers, a pizza and a CEE video. Keep up the good work!

I love how your massive sandblasting unit is a portable sandblaster when you have a forklift.

I just love the outtakes. It's so 'normal'. Two people trying to make something and having all the normal problems and exasperating moments we all do because they're... just human. Way too much media is so over produced these days. I love that my kids are like "they make awesome stuff!!" and I'm like "wait for the end". Then they see you both go through the same struggles everyone does. Good for you for showing it. Its a big part of what makes this channel special.

Hallo from Germany Niedersachsen 👋 Love your passion In Germany we say : Keine halben Sachen machen! Great job❤

The outtakes are what tell the true tale of how many attempts to seat a seal it takes. All mechanics know the truths behind your vids and that is how we can appreciate the incredible talent you have. Keep it going!

I'd definitely rewatch this series once this machine is completed

Watching Kurtis’ attention to detail at every step is hypnotic. Every bit of that crane, down to the air in the tires will be better than new when he’s finished the project!

That bearing removal without destroying the zylinder shows your skills. Very nice :)

When you started pulling that cylinder apart I didn't think it was ever going to end, that was an incredibly long cylinder but you managed to get it apart and reseal it, then sandblast it and put an awesome paint job on it that looked like it had never been painted before. This crane is going to be better than it ever was when it was new. Can't wait for the next step in the rebuild.

The overhead crane would have to be the most under-rated piece of equipment in your workshop. It has featured in nearly all of your videos, and I wonder how you would have coped without it. Love all of your content, always a pleasure to watch a true professional

As mesmerized as I always am at the great teamwork of you two...I was spellbound and in awe watching the scenes of the surgical torch work. Most of us watching have used a cutting torch at one time or another, but what you accomplished so easily and surgically is a skill that surpasses 99.9% of everyone out here. Karen's filming and editing creative skills are just as surgical and precise and spot on. GREAT GREAT team. 😍 CEE ROCKS !!! Don

Really enjoying this project. Reality is that the crane will be 'Better than New'. Thank You Karen for the longer video, two hours would be OK for myself and 99.999% of your viewer's.
