Is that for our American friends who can't understand your excellent English ;-)

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.
This channel is one of these rare awesome corners of YT. Sir, your skills and video editing are really good.
Thank you!
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM Yeah, nice work, but man, use some work gloves. They save your hands from so many cuts.

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.
Thanks Christian, Happy new year!

This channel is one of the rare wonderful corners of YT. It's great
This is unbelievable. Never knew there actually are youtube fabricators that make machinery this big. This is actually impressive.
This is a great channel. Another is Andrew Camarata's channel. He does similar stuff. As for the weld breaking, I wonder what rod/electrode you were using. 7018? 6011? 6013? It appeared that the weld, itself, may have been effected by porosity or inclusion. It adhered to the base just fine. Interesting.
@@boldlygo3469that jaw is higher carbon steel. Here is a bit from a google search. Im too tired to explain it myself. Lol + Why High Carbon Steel Cannot Be Welded. High-carbon steel contains more than 0.5% carbon, which makes it hard and difficult to weld. The heat created by the welding process causes the molecules in high-carbon steel to move around, resulting in cracks or breaks in the metal when cooled.
@@boldlygo3469this guy is a bona-fide fabricator, Andy is just a half ass fixer upper. I still don't see why Camerata has so many subs cause he's not all that good at making or fixing anything.
Agree but what they all it seems to miss is how to make fuel to run equipment ,when the big shit comes ,because it is
@@peterchapman3740 they will power everything with wood which is still the no.1 fuel source in the world
So here he is! Our Swedish Andrew Camarata! The way to go!
Haha thanks!
Is he so stupid too?
Yeah I don’t need a rock crusher ether, awesome video

Nice to see the old A-Class put to such good use here.
That's all there good for
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! 😄
You finished it yet
I watched the whole video, it was great. I left a comment, similar to yours for him.

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!
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"
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!
It’s called experience! Those who can’t, teach!
Maybe you should teach manners.@@ronaldcarrel5388
You need to watch Cutting Edge Engineering. This guy is, well no other way to say it. Not good.
Dude, that shot down the inside of that beam was beneficial to my general mood.
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.
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.
I am having my morning coffee, watching a rock crusher - so satisfying! 😋
Great vid and nice build! As an old fabricator with lots of crushed fingers and toes, be careful with all that heavy metal.
Thanks, will try to be!
I have never sat down and watched over 3 hours of KZhead in my life. Well I did today and I really enjoyed your work. Good job
That was pretty cool how you combined two different content genres into one upload. "Dangerous Idiots With Heavy Machinery" and "Building A Rock Crusher and Testing It". Genius
Accidentally left KZhead 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 👍🏻
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!
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.
Do you have them in working condition?. Totally agree, it's something special seeing that rock break!
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM Yes, they both work. If you look back on my channel I have a video of the Russell crushing plant being powered with my Cat 60. Farther back there should be video of it being powered with a steamer and I’m feeding it with my P&H crane with clam. No video of J.I. Case crusher. Thanks for your video.
A friend of mine that has a couple crushers saws “watching the jaw work is like watching a fire”
My mom had an a class in that color and i called it a wedge my whole life seeing you wedge it in there made me laugh 😂
Apparently it kalled for some Carma for winging the moose test
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!
... at somepoint i thought you were going to Crush the little Mercedes ,,, great work
Wow. The rock crusher is super impressive. The plow/sweep thing at the end - that thing is insane.
Yes, very handy clearing runways in the winter.
Amazing skills. That little red car fit just rite.
I just finished watching your build video. I'm amazed with your thought process on working out how to engineer the solutions to your problems. I might suggest going back and adding "U" clamps (like leaf springs clamps for auto and light trucks) to support the rear horizontal tube that lowers the stabilizing legs. This way you will have more structural support other than just your wields alone. Keep producing your informative content. Ken from Mobile, Alabama, USA
This guy has some well developed fabrication skills. The world will always need these kinds of minds.
3:25:29, and not long enough! I loved every minute! Thanks!
Thanks Hal!
Taking an hour to contemplate what to do shows you have a great work ethic. Sometimes I have walked away from a project and let my sub-conscious work out the problem for me. And to be really honest, sometimes I talk things through with my wife as she has a different view of the world to me and it helps to approach things from more than 1 angle at a time. Right, I’m only half way through. Back to the video. :)
Thanks Dee Tee!
I've watched the entire video and I realy enjoyed it. After seeing the airport snow remover in the wood I knew exactly what the little red car would be used for when saw it.😂
I’ve just started watching this video and I’m very impressed. How a one man crew, does all this by him self. Very impressed…
This was an awesome build and achievement, you should be proud of yourself. I still cant believe you did this by yourself!!! I've subscribed and I'm gonna watch the rest of your videos.
Thanks for the Kind words!
Real interesting to watch someone fabricate and repair who knows what they are doing. Nice job. I subscribed and will keep watching. 👍👍
Good to see a young man with plenty of enterprise and ready get up and go :)
In my rather small world, the most useful to me was how to lubricate the chair. However you are added to my list of people I would like to know! Take care and live well!
Wow, this video is a MONSTER! A classic in the future. 🇸🇪
You are one heck of an engineer with talent to spare!
Thank you Joseph!
I watched this video till 3am. It was an awesome video. So ling in the making. And the car near end made me laugh so much.
and for the machine as a support - a separate huge like. You can't be a serious and stubborn builder all the time. You also have to be fun and creative. You are just great!
As I struggle to pronounce your name, I just refer to you as the one man army😁
Hard work patiently executed by a clever dude .
Thanks for the comment!
Hi I watched your video with enthusiasm ☺️☺️ 3 hours 25 minutes have passed in flight. thank you very much for this video. there is only one thing left to say.... Skill master, at a very high level 👍👍👍👍
I’m all for building things on my own, but watching you struggle with certain things was painful. You should have had a helper. Awesome job by the way, Thankyou for sharing your talents 👍🤠
This guy definitely has experience working with metal fabrication, hydraulics, and mechanics. I started working at the age of 12 with my uncle doing heavy diesel mechanic work, then through the years worked at huge fabrication yards building offshore platforms, oil rigs, ships, mechanics, fabrication welding, hydraulics, electrical. It's not easy work physically and mentally. Simple mistakes can cost millions. This guy has skill and evidently money to have all this equipment at his disposal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
First time in my life i dont skip 3+ hours video 😆
Thanks for watching!
Wow. Didn't know what I was letting myself in for, binge watched the whole thing in one go. Excellent work...
Thanks for watching!
The trees look so beautiful with all that snow, as long as you looking at them from a warm house lol
THIS MAN HAS ALL THE KNOWLIDGE TO HANDLE THE JOB, IF I HADN'T SPENT 20 YEARS IN THE AIR FORCE AND HAD SPENT SOME TIME IN CLOAGE AND TEC SCHOOLS AND ON THE JOB TRAINING I COULD WELD. Instead of working on cars and trucks
This was some project could not stop watching till the end, stayed up way too late but was worth it. My man, you got some skills outstanding machine you fabricated with your own hands. waiting to see it with the shaker working I guess you still have some fine-tuning to dial it in. The king of rocks you can call yourself now.
I'm about an hour in, first time veiwer. This is absolutely wonderful. Not just a bulder, but designer, and artisan like attention to detail. Very inspiring for me to get back into my own work, which is what ive needed. Thank you
Use to feel good about the trailer I built 35yrs ago n still use, now I feel humbled by your efforts. Great work.
One of the best engineering videos on KZhead including the red car holding up the conveyer belt
You had me right up to the point where you decided the little red car would make a good conveyor support. Other than that, nice build. Love the truck. I miss my hooklift. I had to switch to a cable hoist when I got my new bigger truck in order to be able to carry my existing small dumpsters with the same truck that hauled my big dumpsters (small cans are too short to fit the larger hooklift hoist). Very nice shop. I would love to be able to make my own hydraulic hoses.
Yes brilliant mostly👏👏👏 but the car stunt was childish and silly too😢 Andrew Camarata who is amazing , occasionaly does silly shit like this but I dont dig it tbf.😢
It is a Mercedes A-class, they are worth less than nothing, glad they could find an actual useful purpose for it. P.S. I want to clarify that I am dead serious that the car is worth less than nothing, it is impossible to sell to anyone, most of the time you have to pay a scrap fee of close to SEK 2000 to whomever takes it off your hands.
Childish 🤣 get over it
@@frozendude707 If the manufacturer build a car like this, needing removal of the engine just to work on anything like an alternator, it can serve a better purpose, while saving money.
I never thought of using a little car as a shim to hold up the conveyor. It looks like it worked really well!
Ya but WHY destroy a perfectly good car to be a "shim?" the thing looked all but NEW! I would have used lumber before wrecking a perfectly good car?
Oh, and the clip at the end of the video with the snow was amazingly beautiful! Thank you for that. I grew up in Kansas and the mountains of North Carolina where it was snowy and cold and now live in Florida where it does not snow here, ever. In fact, I only wear britches 6 or 7 times a year and only wear shoes and socks when i ride to town for a drs appointment. lol so it was nice to see snow again. :))) If you ever want to see the ocean hit me up and i get you a nice video. :)) Or a rocket launch. I live at Cape Canaveral where they launch rockets almost everyday now.
To say this is impressive is a understatement.
The square tubing seems to be rather light weight for this type of equipment. The beds for the jaw crushers we used in the Nevada gold mines were at least 3/4 inch thick i beams. Then they were bedded in concrete. He is going to be missing some fingers and toes if he doesn’t start using a hoist of some kind. He is too young to destroy his back with heavy lifting. I am impressed with his work and wish him a very successful life.
I was think the exact same thing. Tubing seems rather thin for the mechanical forces that this rock crushing machine will have. Guess will see how it turn out. And he needs overhead hoist because watching him move stuff is scary.
I had no issues with video the first time, you do a mean MacGyver impersonation! In America we call that "red neck engineering"... 😂😂😂👍👍
The sound was balanced to the left (If using headphones). Haha thanks, that's the best type of engineering!
This is the longest and most interesting video I have watched on you tube. Great job and great editing! Thanks.
Great job figuring out and overcoming all those issues I'm no machinist but certainly appreciate your craft!
I'm like half way through this thing and aaaa - american rednecks gotta step up their game couse this is some next level shit. Like seriously Andrew Camarata is buying a rock crusher this Man here just effortlessly build one. Like how is there not some 8 billion subscribers here. My man you da best keep up the good work !
Haha Thanks!
How the hell do you know how to do all this stuff. It took me 30 min's just to pair a phone with a speaker, and that came with instructions. God bless you.
Experience, and not sitting around watching other people work.
I could watch that thing eat rock all day! Incredibly satisfying.
Holy smokes. I was watching this for like an hour and thinking this is better entertainment than most movies. Then I realised I was over 3 hours long! I might save rest for another night. Otherwise im not going to sleep till 2am :D
You are very great at fabrication love your use of templates very important when fabricating. Love this whole video never thought I would sit down and watch a whole video this long. Beautiful job.
You are a VERY talented young man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
I Love the Fact when you do something as far as figure out. YOU build it Strong. Amazing job! Not sure the time from start to finish, but you are the best to figuring things out! I wish I had your shop! Lol
3:18:45 Good decision, it's the most sensible thing you can do with a Mercedes. It's just not good for driving, but just good enough as a jack stand. Many greetings from Germany.
I've done a lot of metal fabrication in my lifetime but this tops it all. Well done 👍.
he is very talented
I'm just amazed someone will post this kind of video for free. Thank you from the Philippines!
I have seen every second of this video without boring , nice work man, love you from iraq ♥️
just like that, keep going, i love channels like this, glad i found you. Greetings from the east 🇫🇮, Åbo
Hi from Northern lower Michigan USA I watched all your videos I don't know how I missed this one but you do have a very great mind for Designing and making everything you need keep up the great work. Ps the shop needs a Plasma cutter
Excellent work! From the chain link/hatch lock to the conveyor belt support system. Super impressive!
Great to see the young folk take up the Thor's hammer of heavy industry. Bravo.
that rear differential looks like a scary mega beast
Wow!!! What a great build!!! Thanks for the video, watched all of it. 👍👍👍
Nice to hear, thanks!
Five star build Everything double checked out and very neat. I have been doing that kind of work for 50 years and l would rate my skills about 2nd grade ---you would have a PhD Wonderful job. One of the best videos on line. I learned things watching it.
Szacunek za wykonanie i włożoną pracę w cały projekt. Pozdrowienia z Polski
Thank you!
Swedish Andrew……. funny you beat me to it….😮😮 ……wouldn’t it be epic if the two met in person….. now that would be epic👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome project, M! I love watching all the different fabrication! KEEP IT UP!!!
You, my Swedish friend, are amazing. Your camera work is amazing as well. Just wondering, don't you have some friends who can help you with all this work? I feel so bad seeing you always seeing you alone even on New Years Eve. If I lived in Sweden I'd be there to help you everyday. Even Andrew Camarata has friends to help him. Keep up the good work.
That is one mighty sturdy rolling mechanic stool! Nice build!
I have picked up and delivered so many jaws and crush plates, I never really understood where they went, I mean I know they are crushing rocks, but now I understand what the other bits are for, and why they weld on bits for lifting. These bits are lying in piles all over every quarry, recycle site across the world, so many bits and pieces just rusting away in corners. good to see someone re purposing them
GREAT video. In 2012 i build myself a light trailer for car . It weight 380kg and can easy carry 2t of load. Chears from Poland
It's always a special kind of pleasure to use something you built by your self, chears Mikkei!
Nicely done!! Amazing the power that those jaw crushers have.
Thanks! Yeah the crushing force is pretty amazing!
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM imagine the leverage those crusher jaws have, it would have to be in the tons per square foot possibly tons per square inch. As impressive as a jaw crusher is a concentric cone crusher can pulverize many tons of boulders each the size of a VW.
3.4 million views but only 59k subs , all the hard work in the fab, welding, editing, and solo yet and over 3 hours of uploaded video , and my back hurts just from watching all that heavy lifting, having worked building and welding mostly oil tanks we also did a lot of other projects similar to this, the fact that you did so much solo is impressive to say the least, and pretty good at coming up with ideas on the fly to solve problems, that thing is built like a tank excellent work and work ethic, cant believe out of that many people who watched the video so few subcribed and even fewer gave a like at least for the amount of work and effect it took to create this and the fact that its free to watch it is also free to give the guy a sub and like , thats unreal almost 3 and a half million views, all those people who got 3 plus hours of free entertainment for a production that would of taken several months if not longer to complete , the very least you could do in return is give the guy a sub and like in return , kinda selfess but guess thats the world we live in . Thanks for sharing was very well made earned my sub and a like cheers from Canada.
you should put gussets everywhere, it's going to shake alot.
“It’s easy to build ugly” ❤I like that phrase!
After all this job you deserve thousands inscriptions,you got mine ,amazing work,very smart guy,congratulations
Subscribers Not Inscriptions
Absolutely INCREDIBLE build. To do it single-handed, and do the design and fabrication, amazing. I enjoyed every minute of this excellent video. You showed me just enough that I appreciated every design decision and method of construction. Masterful editing. Congratulations on a monumental achievement. Subscribed!
for me its 3.25 watching a video that was interesting but for you it was a hell of a lot more work for a long period of time. Well done very good video which I enjoyed. England.
It sure was, thank you George!
Hatten av, mycket imponerad 🇸🇪👍🏻
I just came across your channel and while I’m Not to the part of seeing if it works…I’m impressed so far! Watched the whole thing and after seeing you stick a fairly new car under the conveyor I agree, you are a Swedish Andrew Camarata!
I was thinking a bit closer to the Swedish "Peg" from zip ties & bias plies.
This was a pleasure to watch! I see people mention Camarata here, and you two are definitely cut from the same cloth. You clearly have the upper hand in fabrication, but at the same time - why compare. The one would succeed without the other 😁 looking forward to watching more of your work! Happy new year, from a fan over in western Norway 😁
Thanks, Happy new year!
This is my third time watching, and worth every minute just to see you drive that car under the conveyor belt...
Great in-depth detail now that was one long video, but a great result at the end
That was great work, MB. I'm amazed at your abilities. Awesome shop and equipment, too. I'm so jealous!
Awesome video enjoyed every moment didn’t think I would last to the end but I did. Felt sorry for the poor car used to prop the conveyor up 😄. To do a build like this on your own AWESOME!! You have another subscriber to you channel.
A good wash and wax and the rental car place will never know what happened.
😅😅😅
I also noticed the high quality sound you recorded. Lots of memories with all those steel sounds. Thanks
Hi. really a wonderful job !! I was a little bit desappointed when I saw that you used an old Mercedes Class A to do that because some years ago I looked for one like that... But Sweden is so far aways from France so not a great regret ;-)) Congratulations for your video it was a very nice moment for me !! Greattings from France. Jean.
