The Frana Crane has provided far more content than I ever would have expected.

I bet not one single person was able to resist a smile when Karen was amazed at the belt grinder's hidden function. 😁

I am a 73 year old retired builder, welder, fabricator and I have only one thing to say about you Kurtis. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!! Your designs and workmanship are absolutely flawless. I give you five stars Sir and if you walked into the room - I would stand up and salute you. Art from Ohio

For anyone that's never run a torch, it's difficult to convey just how much talent and discipline it takes to operate a cutting torch with that level of accuracy. I'm amazed, not sure I've ever seen anyone with a hand as steady and accurate as yours.

That hand cut torched hole for the pulley mount was a pleasure to watch.

Surely I’m not the only one here impressed by the perfectly looking circle holes round the 12:10 mark

Karen, golden editing at 27:22 when Kurtis leaves left frame edge and then reappears right frame edge in that still shot. Your videography skills match Kurtis's fabrication skills.

I have been following this project since the beginning. What have I learned in all these 17 episodes? 1. The value of quality work: you are no ‘cutting corners’ here. This is not a quick fix, but a complete overhaul. This is a lesson for life. 2. Aim for the best: If you can do it right, do it right! I see this in what both of you do, Kurtis and Karen. 3. This project has been a lesson on perseverance. Sometimes, the end seems far away, but you have shown us how important is to go on, ‘one step at a time’. Many times, I asked myself when is this disassembling part is going to end? Well, now we are enjoying the assembling part of the project. But to be able to enjoy this video, we had to accept the previous ones. Without them, today’s video wouldn’t have been as rewarding. 4. During the whole process, enjoy the simple things of life. Homeless and the birds are as enjoyable than machining and welding. I could say that without them, the whole project would have been boring! Finally, I have to say that your field of work is totally different to my job. I work with books, ideas, and people. Not steel and machines. But I’m attracted to your channel because I can feel that yours is a vocation, not just a job. Both of you enjoy what you do. And we, the viewers, can see that.

This might sound like I'm exaggerating, but this crane project actually taught me that difficult projects are possible if you believe in yourself and it helped me get out of a negative emotional state that I'd been in for literally years. I'm putting my life back together partly because of CEE. Thank you!!

I watch an absolute ton of you tube and I have to say that your comments section is the most respectful on you tube. And the fact that you guys bring happiness to such a large cross section of people is a testament to how damn good you guys are. Congrats on killing it 👍👍

It is just spectacular what one man in front of camera and one women behind the camera can do all by themselves. You two are truly amazing! Bravo!!

Kurtis - Your spacial awareness is incredible - knowing where things are, and position they need to be in. Backing up the forklift at an angle to miss the shipping container - especially fitting the custom boom end inside the RHS in one take, was great. I have to admit, your a cutting torch demon, the circle cutting and pad cutting holes are next-level. Karen, the videography is excellent - you make a wonderful team.

I had to chuckle when our lovely photographer reacted to the belt sander reconfiguration. I bet it’s a rare event this many years into the work.

I’m always amazed by Kurtis’s skills and knowledge. Speaking into a camera seems to be his only weakness… and that’s where Karen comes in. She aces everything else. You two were made for each other. Between the two of you, you have all the bases covered. I really like how you laugh together and are kind to animals. Good hearts ❤️

I really like the lack of drama. Just professional skill knocking out amazing pieces parts with a camera person chuckling away. The quote below sums it up: "welding goodness". Awesome!!

Kurtimedes once said “give me a forklift big enough and I can move the world!” Many thanks for another great episode!

I'm at work at the moment (graveyard Seattle city bus mechanic!) and I'm SO FREAKING EXCITED to go home in the morning, get comfy in my easy chair in my jammies with a cup of tea, and watch the next episode. Thank you Kurtis and Karen AND HOMELESS for hours of fabulous "edutainment".

Anyone else, instantly ‘like’ every video as soon as you’ve pressed play? Shout out to Karen for the slick editing as always. You don’t go unnoticed 🙌🏼

Your show should be mandatory in all schools throughout the world😊
