We Have NEVER Seen This Machine Before! | Kitchen & Walker Horizontal Facing Borer
We have a new to us machine for the workshop and we have never seen one of these before! It is a 1950s-1960s era Kitchen and Walker Type P1 Horizontal Facing Borer machine. We didn’t get any manuals with it and can’t find any information online about it! In this video we are doing a tour & test of this facing borer and share what it is, how it works and what we will be using it for in our workshop. Plus we do some test boring on a chunk of material to see what it can do! This machine is a real gem we are happy we got our hands on it and if you have seen one of these machines before we would love to hear from you!

Seeing as you're going to modify the machine, I would suggest the first thing to be to replace the old limit switches for the faceplate. You never know when those feel like failing and new ones is a cheap life insurance
Kurtis get a DMG MORI CNC that does line,boring, milling and turning all in one setup I'm sure there're happy to help
@9:15 Before you turn it on, I'd call in the "Safety Inspector" and maybe give him a bribe.
Are you going to need the banana ruler? Maybe tape one to the side of the table 🤔 😏?
I'm not a machinist but regarding the manual handle that nearly took out your knee could you put a gentle spring with two washers that would eject the handle when not in use? A spring that not to strong to be annoying while holding in and spinning but enough to eject the handle.
As a now 71 year old ex Toolmaker from the UK I can only say you Sir are an exceptionally lucky boy, I worked one of these in the early 1960s, it is such a solid machine you will never be able to replicate it, so if it needs some restoration do the work, you will not be sorry.
Kurtis as a customer you just made my day. You stuck around and let the truck driver unload after hours. You didn’t goof around unloading. Way cool dude
LOL I'm only 20 seconds in, from the US, and my first thought was why is he going to talk to the passenger. It hit me right away. Bloody Ausi's drivin on the wrong side of the road.😅 I'm a welder/ fabricator and this channel gets more of my time than my girlfriend does. Love what you do here. You really know your shit.
You are really assembling a state of the art 1950's machine shop there! Nothing more satisfying than a good manual machine job. Any tech school grad can run a CNC, Takes a real machinist to do all the long hand math and setups.
Any Tech school Grad maybe can PROGRAM a CNC.. if you don't know anything about machining.. it is like giving a computer to a Monkey..Running a CNC requires the same skill as running a manual machine + programming the darn thing..
That is a cool machine!The look on Kurtis’ face when talking about the handle flying across the shop “Ask me how I know” ! Lol 😆 Have a Good Day and Be Safe!
It was trying to help find the pieces of the centre finder 🤣
Don't you mean "DONT ASK ME HOW I KNOW "
Like the tool that opens/closes the 3/4 jaw clamps on a lathe?
That handle could of been used for a vice and been hammered on by the looks of it looks very similar to was I use and do but ye same concept as a drill chuck drift been drilled into my head as an apprentice never leave them in there
@@Timbo5553 Can you repeat all this in English?
Hi I hope the following information help you with the machine. It was made by A kitchen & D walker ltd of hexagon works peloton lane Halifax Yorkshire. The company was established in 1961 and this is one of the first machines they made year 1961. John brown & co sold the Halifax machine tools business to James.H. Vickery 1980s. It is a fantastic machine. Other information regarding this machine can be found at. Grace,s Guide To British Industrial History there is a file on it. Hope this helps you take care.
Thanks for sharing 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering are you a jobshop or are you preserving these machines for museums?
I didn't realize you could broach key ways with a face milling machine , but you are a talented man. It's good to see people are still honest and human when they make mistakes. As always, Curtis, I really enjoy your videos. I think that my sons and i have watched all of them as a matter of fact!
I love these videos showing older machines and they're history. These machines just give a sense of pride that you don't feel with newer machines. Like the hand drawn schematics and all that It'd be cool if they had a little history book with them saying what companies previously owned them and what kind of parts they made PS I think you guys are doing awesome things for the machining world by showing all this stuff and in my opinion you have made the best machining channel on KZhead
As a 70 year old from the UK, I can well remember using a K&W Radial Drill during the manufacture of diesel engines for UK trains. These drills were bulletproof, and I reckon you have a great machine there. Have a great weekend, and thanks Homey for giving it your seal of approval.
Which manufacturer did you work for sir?
We had a K&W radial drill as well for about 20 years drilling deep waterways (40”) in injection mould tools. As you said, bulletproof.
We still have one in our workshop ☺️ (Scotland)
@@Gorbyrev The one that had the K&W was a Company called Deep Sea Seals, they made high pressure shaft seals for submarines, that was the first time I had to sgn the Oficial Secrets Act :) :)
@@ukoldgit Fantastic. Sound similar to McTaggart Scott, our local defence engineering firm in Midlothian.
The run-out on the faceplate is making my worksafety senses tingle.
I've never welded, and I don't know much about lathes either... but I like watching these videos
I think all of us would take a class with professor Curtis. Can you imagine this man giving a lecture?
I love how this starts. The last time I had some equipment delivered to my home shop (in a standard neighborhood) it arrived at about 2 o'clock in the morning and took an hour to unload with the diesel rig running the whole time. Neighbors were thrilled.
😂😂
Just proves you got the wrong neighbors. I would have looked out the window and exclaimed, ‘looks like Charles is getting a new toy’, thrown on some clothes and ran outside to check it out.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering , He he he!
@@BlindBatG34 You sound like the exception to the rule. A lot of neighbours just don't get along or even know their names.
Good old machine.heavy-duty and free from cheap plastic parts.God bless you for saving this vintage masterpiece.
Right on!
what i love about old machines is sheer VOLUME of material used, its build like a tank
Hi folks. I ran a machine much like this years ago. It was mostly used to machine the intakes and exhaust of 48 inch, 40 ton natural gas pipe line compressors. I believe the chuck/table was a round 55 inches with the bed in the floor. I don't remember who made it but it was capable of 1/2 thou accuracy. What a beast it was. What a blessing to have the written material along with it. Seeing this first setup I can see why you picked this one up. It is pennies spent compared to a new one. I wonder if they still make a piece like this. The table was fixed and the machine itself ran on rails in the pit below. Much like a vertical mill/drill they had. 50 years ago it was a tape machine that had an one inch perforated paper tape. Led's were in it's infancy. I sure looking forward to seeing it on a production type job. Thanks a bunch Kurtis. Take care eh.
My home town has produced many killing machines (aka lathes, borers etc) over the years but with its spinning and flying handles this appears to be one of the finer examples.
🤣 Classic! And, what home town is that Chris?
@@tellyfaulkner3466 Halifax
@@Sparkey Thanks, saved me the trouble 😅
As I watched the description of this machine, it became obvious that it has the potential to kill or cause serious damage if you make a tiny mistake. This machine could never pass any safety standards review under current safety regulations. But she is a beast.
@@davidkillens8143 , Never thought of that, but undoubtedly true!
13:52 easy fix for this: Add a spring which pushes the handle off the head if you don't press it down. This way you will never leave it there, as it will just fall down :)
Cracking idea this, and maybe weld a chain onto the handle and machine to keep it where it needs to be.
@@stephensingletary8374 paint it bright pink as well.
It shows the workmanship of those machine makers from the 50's and early 60's they made them to last they're 60+ years old and with proper maintenance will be here in another 60+ years amazing machines
That is a hefty piece of kit! Congratulations on your new purchase! It reminds me of when we actually manufactured equipment in Britain!
Reminds me of the great machines we built here in the US to build the many, many parts that won WW2. Some of them are still running today and are prized for the jobs they do. They aren’t computer controlled but in the hands of a skilled machinist, they can make just about anything. Sadly, we don’t make anything like them anymore.
If you go to a workshop in the uk where there's heavy machines and blokes in brown cotton smocks with a selection of well sharpened pencils, a good quality Parker pen and a 6 inch rule in the breast pocket, you can guarantee they're doing good work, almost certainly work very few people can do. Still plenty of places like that, though they are becoming less common, sadly. Even before the war these guys were producing excellent products on machines most of us would struggle to name, let alone run. The industrial revolution is fascinating and something worth every moment learning about i reckon. I easily get lost for hours learning about the history of machining and industry in general
Recall seeing a massive Farrel machine (told it was made in the US) hobbing a crankshaft out of the biggest block of steel you could imagine. Block of steel was fixed, tooling rotated around the workpiece, so much swarf they used a garden rake to pull it away. Once all the throws were cut on the flat, they clamped the block, heated the main bearing areas and rotated the big end to form the correct angle for the crank.
The US still makes lots of machining gear and also heavy equipment.
Long time ago produced parts for ROLLS ROYCE diesels,worked on parts with 5 thou tolerance on parts 36" diameter,no optics,no digital readout.I thought this was history,till working in an different engineering industry, service call on hydraulics, there were 10 of them in a line.Manager "what's up " looking at machine at one machine.I used to work in that.That was 40 year's ago.One of the tool slots still had a" indentation" I caused.Still working to same tolerance.Time to retire.
I think you'd be surprised how many of those old machines are actually still working. Probably closer to 80%. I have 4 of them in my shop all from the late 30s through the 50s. The two lathes I have can out do most of the machine shops in my area with newer equipment when it comes to machining long lengths without cutting a taper. South Bend lathe Axleson lathe Carlton drill press Bridgeport knee mill
I've been reading some comments on the schematics and manuals Curtis found. Such items are often invaluable treasures for such an old machine, but also fragile! I'd urge you, Curtis and anyone who has such things, to get them professionally scanned and a work copy printed. Put the originals in a safe place! Maybe send a copy of the scan to Keith Rucker at Vintage Machinery too.
I will play all your videos when my grandbabies come to my house! My grandson loves big machines! Its better than cartoons :D
Forgot to mention in my earlier comment.When doing the mods to the machine ,you may want to think about installing a dc injection braking unit to the spindle,it seemed on the video to continue to turn after hitting the stop button,just a thought.👍
Good idea, I thought it was strange that it didn't have a brake mechanism to stop the rotation quickly.
@@brucepickess8097 you'd be surprised how many modern CNCs and stuff don't have a spindle brake after an estop..most of the ones I've run use a controlled short to the motor to stop it, once you e-stop the electric is cut and it drifts to a stop instead of actually stopping.
I considered adding a braking mechanism to my SawStop table saw, but abandoned the idea when I realized that it might cause the blade's fastening nut to unscrew itself (with unpredictable but certainly bad results :-). So, be sure that any braking can't cause a similar problem for this machine.
When Kurtis is rattling off stats on a machine or part, I'm always in awe. Then the outtakes come and I find out it's all editing :)
Kudos yet again for Karin. She works miracles
He is reading it off cue cards! Get Real!
You find some of the coolest toys. I see them and I'm like "I want 1!".. just 1 problem. I'm not a machinist. Never done anything like that and wouldn't know what to do with it, but I still want one. Don't think it would fit in my 216 square foot little tiny workshop though.
you need a bigger workshop! 😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering You ALWAYS need a bigger workshop!
@@Agnemonsjust like you always need more tools.
I‘m seriously excited to see you make use of your other ‘new’ machines to get this one up and running the way you want! Looking forward to those videos! And an excellent purchase on your part.
I love the machinery and equipment videos. Especially the older styles of machines. Take care and have a nice weekend! 👍
We've got a soft spot for these older machines, they just don't make them like this anymore! Glad you enjoy the vids you have a good one mate
Kurtis, you must have balls of steel and nerves of ice to move such huge machines so well. I've done this work and am always impressed at how smooth and simple you make it look. Excellent rigging every time.
Thirty years ago, I worked around machines of that size I barely knew what they did. Now I know what they do, but I'm retired, dreaming of the old days. You've got some really excellent old machinery that shows its quality by the very fact it's no less productive to day as sixty years ago. I really enjoy seeing the quality of work you regularly do. Thanks!
Metric v imperial. Whilst serving in the RN, the two most popular measurement systems were the Firkin and the BSH, both had 2 units, ie, the Firkin came as Too Firkin big or too Firkin small. The BSH translates as British Standard Handful which came as a Slack BSH or a Tight BSH. Both applied to anything.
Sub units of the Firkin were the Nadger (Gnat's Tadger)
I reckon I could be proficient in the Firkin measurement system pretty quickly 😂👍
Useless trivia: there really is a Firkin: a unit of liquid volume equal to half a kilderkin (about 11 gallons or 41 liters)
How does that relate to, "Bee's Dicks"?
And a gnats bollock for precision work.
Built back when they made stuff the last. That's one of the reasons I like my old machines. Keep up on the maintenance they last forever. Have a good weekend guys see you next time.
But how can it work without a cloud subscription? And where is the supplier contract for servicing? What about bi-yearly mandatory electrical inspections? Software updates? How could it possibly work!?
I love that you keep the vintage tools in service!
I love the outtakes!! All though funny as hell it shows just how hard putting a video together for us to enjoy is!! Thanks
I started my apprenticeship in '65 and I'm still learning about British machine tool manufacturers, Kitchen and Walker is a new'un on me although I have heard of Kitchen and Wade. A few years ago I was up at the Middleton Railway in Leeds and saw a Swift lathe {Halifax) also a lathe made by Sentinel (Shrewsbury) who are best known for steam waggons and railway locomotives. Got to respect a bloke with the bottle to admit to dropping a bollock on the internet. All The Best from Somerset, England.
hey mate, have seen a few comments about Kitchen & Wade so I wonder if the company changed names at one point. Cheers
Sounds like it, we had a Kitchen & Wade radial arm drill at our foundry in Lancashire, England back in the 80's
It's cool watching you guys expand over the last year when I first discovered your channel. I'm not a machinist but I've always been fascinated with all types machines, the skilled tradesmen that master them, and guys that keep them running like myself.
try it out it's awesome to create in metals or like any materials.. only females know what true creation means, bringing forth an new human being.
It looks as though you folks got quite a nice piece of machinery there. Looking forward to all the work you will do to it and with it. Thanks for the interesting demonstration, really enjoyed!
The outtakes are the best part of all the videos. And this was a very cool video, showing how much change has happened in tooling
What a beautiful machine. Such a solid build quality. This machine will outlive many generations of mechanics.
Back then in the UK we made things to last, what a beast, however ease of use perhaps not so good.
@@brucepickess8097 Think of an artist playing his violine. Ease of use also not so good. Needs practice. But after learning to master his instrument, the artist will deliver the most beautiful works of art. :)
In about 1973 I was studying electronics and we had a college tour of the plant where your borer's switchgear was manufactured. The firm was then called Brookhurst Igranic (BHI) based in Bedford. Later taken over by cutler Hammer Europa.
That's bloody awesome thanks for sharing some history!
The site where BHI was located is just houses now like most of our industrial sites.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Thank you! Keep making those vids. I have a pal in Queensland who is involved with mineral extraction. You may even know one another as nodding acquaintances at some sites.
Woot!! Series work videos. Honestly, this is exactly the kind of work I love to watch the most. Problem solving, modification, and implementation. Love your work videos. Thank you for sharing the CEE family with us.
Never ceases to amaze me! I am looking forward to more videos using the “new machine”. Thanks
Absolutely love how you keep bringing these old workhorses in to do the jobs you need. Very much looking forward to the series of transformations you have planned.
And watch out for the flying handles!
Being made in Halifax the measurements of the machine are actually in MacIntosh toffees, not bananas 😁
Delicious 🤣👍
Quality
@gae My Dad is from the U.K. when he came out to N.Z. we were just switching to metric, when he got used to it he'd swear out loud anytime he struck something in imperial he found it so easy to work metric and he was a time served fitter and turner🤣🤣🤣
Love watching your vids. It's nice to see that you can do more than just the run of the mill production machining/welding with the right equipment.
I love seeing big old machines in use!
While I laugh at the out-takes, I am in awe of your skills, expertise and professionalism! Hey Karen thanks for capturing all these great videos! Looking forward to more and more…..Regards from Banana-Land….
features like that limit switch really display the thought that went into it's design!
It’s great to watch your company grow. Kudos.
Love how Curtis is so passionate about these machines, if it could talk, what stories it could tell.
would be great if we knew it's provenance and history!
That's fancy looking old machine. Gonna be interesting to watch the modification process. Have you ever considered playing around with Arduino's? (Lego for micro controllers) Potentially, and without too much effort, you could use one to drive feed servos you're going to install which would mean you could automate some of the processes. It would only have to stop at the end of some operations to manually change out tooling, but for things like boring, where multiple passes are needed, potentially you could make it "set and forget". Locking off the axes though, might be a bit of a trick. (maybe small servo driven locks?) Automating single processes wouldn't be much of a time saver, but if there are common dimensions, you could save profiles. Perhaps with some input menu to set zero offsets. On a side note, it's very refreshing to hear someone say "I smashed a tool bit" or "I sent it the wrong way" followed by "I drove the tool...", rather than things like "It broke the tool", "It drove itself into the job", "It went the wrong way". People will argue that "It's just a turn of phrase" and that there's no difference. There is a difference, and it speaks volumes to the character of the person saying it.
or do a real CNC build using linuxCNC

I’m loving all those old but amazing machines that you have 😀😀
I love your polished presentations and the outtakes, and the dog!
You always bring something new to the table and that machine is at the top of the list. That boring bar that you made is scary as hell. Can't wait to see the additions and mods that you intend to make.
4 legged factory inspector came to inspect the machine and was pleased
Thanks for sharing. Fantastic to see everything you do.
Great addition to the workshop the mods will make for great videos thanks Kurtis 👍
We are using those machines still in reduction gear housing production. For parallel axis reduction gear almost all machining is done on one of these machines, including bearing positions, grooves, facing and fastener holes, usually without even repositioning the part.
Very cool. the arrival of the rig bringing the machine was nice. “Whole process” videos are 👌🏽👌🏽 Thanks
it feels crazy that im watching the channel of an Australian craftsman on the opposite side of the world, over the internet using a machine that was made 10miles from me 70 years ago.
Love when I stumble on a channel that motivates me to keep learning! Thanks man
Nice little item! I look forward to seeing it in action. My grandfather was a machinist, as was my late wife's father, and I can imagine them working with machines like this! Amazing what one can find for sale out there in the world!
Hearty Congratulations on the acquisition, Mate! Love to see owners investing in their business to augment and expand their capabilities and services! Cheers from Up Over!
Awesome video i love listening to people talk, when they know what they're talking about👏
That's a beautiful machine. The puppy was all joy on seeing a new friend. Nice.
Watching the design, making and ultimate use of new tooling/adapters on real work is just the sort of thing I enjoy. Looking forward to this a lot.
holy smokes, watcha bought now.....have a great weekend every one, Paul from the other Sunshine State.......across the Pacific
we got ourselves a Unicorn!
I've always loved the line borer segments but am so looking forward to seeing this unit doing similar work. Really engaging installment, congrats and good luck with it! Excellent call to not make the table feed reversal fail an outtake - testing is all part of the process and you'll not make that mistake again.
Love your vision in buying a quality old timer and re-purposing for what you need. Very creative and cool. Nice bit of curating too, that you are making your mods reversible
I work nights and seeing you get a night delivery was just on point for me. Happy CEE Friday everyone. Thank you for the content.
Brilliant, thanks for watching!
Bear in mind Kurtis is in the Southern Hemisphere so they're having their winter down there so it could be just early in the morning.
Great talent Kurtis. Wish I could have met you when I worked in Australia for 2 years. I am a surveyor, from one tradesman to another, keep passing on the knowledge. Traditional surveying is also a dying art, not too many guys out there know the math to perform their own calculations in the field. Hopefully you will be able to pass on your shop to your kids someday. 🇺🇸.
That machine was really well made. The fact that it's still working is evidence of that. They made things to last back then, not like now that things need replacing at short intervals. It will be interesting seeing the modifications you make to the machine to suit your requirements.
Nice find! No doubt when you are done it'll be another outstanding addition to support the quality work you do! Congratulations!
I can't get enough of this channel!
That is a fine and cool old machine. I look forward to see the tooling and modifications you make. Also I look forward to a good laugh of Friday's, you never let me down and make my day.👍
cheers mate glad you enjoy the vids!
great tool, u never know when u will need it, must say the filming and editing is a very high standard, well done and good luck with the beast!!
$4000 and a vision how to improve dodgy tasks without stressing a machine unnecessarily. Brilliant!
4000 Australian dollars?
Nice handy little machine guys !! I can see the possibilities with this and lots of new projects and such to come for this machine !! 👍👍
Cool addition to your workshop. That switch panel looks like it could do with some mods when you are rebuilding. It's probably worth adding in a couple of cutoff switches to prevent power feeds from turning on while the handles are engaged. I've seen it on some machines and always wondered why something so simple and easy to do isn't done by all manufacturers.
Hi Kurtis! I suggest you another mod to this machine. Changing the electric motor who feeds the "spindle" with one with brakes when you press the stop button. The fact that is continuing to turn when you stop it is giving me anxiety 😃
Can’t wait to see upgrades & how wind up using it. Cool your saving & repurposing old machinery, appreciate honesty when learning about machines & finding out hard way. Great to watch shop made tools & upgrades ! Bloopers are awesome too. Great camera work!! Cheers from 🇺🇸! My fav channel on tube. 🤘🤘🤘
OMG. Curtis…. I really enjoy these hand controlled HEAVY machines. You, Sir do awesome work. Thank you for sharing with us all.
We've got an old kitchen and walker radial arm drill at my work shop, it's a very nice machine to work with.
That is very nice machine, I can tell it has been taken well care of, looks like a 1960’s era, that’s when machines were built tuff and heavy, started my shop in 1968.
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing this. I cannot wait to see this machine in action.
Everything was built with quality back in the days, Built to last meny meny decades. This old machines are gold to find.
Great content again guys and what a fantastic old machine and in perfect condition. Being from the UK it gives me a sense of pride that a lot of engineering machinery was manufactured here back in the day and is still going strong nowadays. It’s such a shame that we virtually have no manufacturing industry left in the UK but at least the stuff that is out there is still going strong. My Grandad worked in Coventry at a firm called Alfred Herbert’s making lathes and milling machines in the 1950s until the late 70s. As a youngster when I stayed over with him and Grandma he would get a massive world Atlas out and show me where some of the machines he built were sent to. I was absolutely amazed and couldn’t believe a machine that big that Grandad had help make was going all those miles away - happy memories. Keep up the great work and videos Kurtis, Karen and of course Homeless you are my Friday morning fix here in the UK along with a cup of coffee before work 😀👍🏻
You might want to ponder WHY British industry has been decimated and perhaps do something about it.....it would require a radical overhaul of the country and the first positive step would be to get rid of the Windsors who have reached their sell by date.The newspapers are FULL of crap about these idiots.....they contribute nothing and simply leech off the economy.
Kurtis this new series sounds very interesting. Great content. The design, fabrication, and modifications of an old machine to perform new operations is very interesting. I always cringed when you use the line borer on big pieces. The extra time and wear and tear on the power driver must be hard on the bearings. The blooper out takes are the best!
Thank you for a great explanation. Love watching you work on big stuff. It makes what I do with my little workshop look silly.
Another good video on a very intriguing machine. I didn’t understand the set with all the different axes, I still didn’t think it would cut a circular bore before you started it, but as I watched it cutting I began to see how it all worked. It’s a great addition, I can’t wait to see all the modifications, and then I hope to see a real piece of steel being worked on it. Great video editing as usual.
I enjoyed this video immensely. Your presentation skills are first class. The lady doing the recording and editing deserves a medal. Well done to both of you.
Thanks very much!
Really enjoyed the vid - thanks. $4000 AUD is fantastic value in so many ways: * New (British 😎) machine for the workshop. * Vids of the various modifications. * Vid of the Hydroptic jig borer in action. The anticipation for this vid is immense 🤤 All the best, Paul
Hey Paul cheers mate glad we can bring some video enjoyment while we enjoy the new toy *ahem* tool for the workshop 😂👍
Great video again. Love the “outtakes” at the end. I’m not a machinist but it’s great to see what can be done. Keep up with the great videos.
Great old machine. Will be interesting to see the proposed improvements. Love seeing your dog. He's got so much energy & loves to have a good time. Thanks for the videos showing us all into your lives.
Love your videos, and the bloopers obviously. A quick safety add-on for the feed and traverse issue. You can add 2 microswitches to the feed lever and 2 led rows on the in and out lines under the buttons. This way, the right row illuminates according to the lever's position. Thus, putting an end to the inserts chips flying around the shop.
If my grandma was still alive she could tell you so much about them as she ran them in the 60's making parts for Studebaker & Oliver plow works !
Oh wow that's bloody neat thanks for sharing mate
The absolute best in videos for us, thank you ! The historical significance of the machinery, snack time love for the pet, the sincere laughter of the loving companion 💝💝💝💝
wow, very informative.. I 've never seen a machine like this one. Great demo, thank you so much for the video. Thanks to all three of you.. :D you helped me though another day.
Gday, what an absolute bargain, definitely a big asset and the results from the test cuts are very promising, I’m keen to see the modifications, awesome video as always mate, have a great weekend, cheers
Hey mate we are happy to get our hands on this old girl, can't wait to put it to work. Karen also says great work on the editing in your new videos! 😎👍 Chat soon mate
