This Gigantic Water Swivel Is in TERRIBLE Shape
The Big Rig has finished its first hole and parts are now flooding back for repair as they move onto the second. While this absolutely massive water swivel made it all the way, it's in desperate need of a rebuild. I've got no idea if we can save this thing... but let's have a crack! Enjoy. ABOUT HAL HEAVY DUTY We're a real life machine shop for a 60 year old drilling company located in Central Queensland, Australia. Our job is to keep rigs running in the field - fixing all the stuff drillers break and creating all the custom gear they need to get the job done. We run two CNC's, manual repair lathes, a few mills and a big green Megabore Lathe we call "THE HULK"... and are constantly having to make weird and wonderful tools for odd (usually oversize) jobs. We release our weekly video at 1pm Friday (AEST), so be sure to subscribe if you want to see stuff you really won't find anywhere else.f
