Isaac I appreciate that you don't pile on all the operators and business owner for stuff breaking. As an owner operator who takes good care of my equipment and also performs maintenance and repairs I've come to appreciate that things just wear out, get fatigued, fail and occasionally break. When something breaks its not an automatic that it's a terrible operator, or just a greedy owner who doesn't care about the equipment his guys have to use. Many times all there is to do is fix it and move on. I'm sure most of your customers appreciate your practical approach and quality work. Thanks for sharing.
Luke you are correct, but sometimes the operators are only interested in payday and quitting time, & the owner isn’t much better or isn’t around the job.
@@dirtfarmer7472 I agree. I'm just not one of those owners and neither are the guys that work with me. I also see a lack of training on how to properly operate and maintain a piece of equipment, but overall I'd like to believe there's a lot of talented operators and owners who care that just break and wear stuff out trying to do an honest job for there customers🙂👍
@@lukeshurtleff9770 Pretty sure there are different drills and methods for different kind of rock and none of it is cheap. What they are using usually works well enough that even with the repairs when it doesn't and it gets beat up, it is still their equipment of choice. And it makes work for our favorite welder. Win win.
I appreciate most your drama-free matter of fact explanations given in your normal speaking voice. There are a few machinery oriented presenters who sound as if they are advertising special prices at the local hardware store. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to make these videos; wise would be the teaching institutions who included your videos in their engineering department programme. 🙂Col, NZ.
_"There are a few machinery oriented presenters who sound as if they are advertising special prices at the local hardware store"_ - somehow that guy called Titan of CNC jumped right to my mind... ;-) I wonder why... Seriously, that Titan guy is the best (or rather "worst") example of this "drama personae". I've tried to watch his videos few times, but no way - after third "boom!" I'm just, erm... "satisfied" and call it quit.
@@MrKotBonifacy that may be true but, at least for me, the base content outweighs that While their academy is still somewhat basic, it's a solid effort and a good check on the ..... basics
@@angrydragonslayer Hi Slayer. Don't be angry - this could give them dragons upper hand, y'know... ;-) Seriously though... I actually do think Titan is a good machinist - otherwise he wouldn't be able to build his business and be successful, but why all that flashbang? What for? Does it help in anyway? Like, can't he just EXPLAIN? Answer - no, he can't, as he is a textbook example of a person kinda "stuck in a mental/ emotional overdrive", so to speak. No room here for thorough explanation, and this is not to poke fun at him (or denigrate him in any way) - it's just a diagnosis on my part. Which you might disagree with, and I'm fine with it. But I personally know two guys with the same "traits", and I know their "personal life stories"; and I can recognise those pattern in Titan's behaviour as well. So, to sum it up: I never addressed Titan's skills and knowledge, I just can't stand his "way of narrating", if you will. His academy might be OK and quite useful for some of us - still, I'd rather watch videos by that, erm... boring fellow from Edge Precision. All the good stuff, minus the "boom shakalaka" - oops, sorry that was another fellow, Apache Indian - and nicer to watch ;-) Cheers!
Thank you so much for making videos like this where we can see the entire process. As someone who does their own welding, videos like this are invaluable! I’ve learned quite a bit just from watching.
I truly enjoy watching your expertise in your craft. You are a artist with that torch and your workmanship is impeccable. Thank you for allowing us to watch.
@@mikeworkman3593 Dude? First off. I ain't your dude. 2nd. Show some respect. I understand what he was using and what he was cutting. I can use a torch and weld as well. I was commenting on his skill and workmanship and learning a lil something from his technique on his u-tube channel. I do not recall commenting on your u-tube channel. So. If you don't have something nice to say or have something constructive to add, do us all a favor, keep your disrespectful comments to yourself.
@@overwatch2671 Dude, it's RUclips, and guess what, i can comment to whoever I feel like. You'd better have some thicker skin than that if you're going to go off on my gentle comment. In fact he constantly tells the audience that he does the bare minimum job so idk why you are stroking him like this. "artist with that torch and your workmanship is impeccable" He specifically says MANY times that his cuts are just average and just getting the job done and not pretty. I respect this guy cause HE knows that his shit won't fail and he isn't trying to win any awards for prettiest wields. IDK what video that you are watching cause it's not the same one that everyone else is.
ICeman knocks it out the park again. I've seen welding college videos made with access to cameras costing thousands of dollars that are not as clear and informative as this gentleman produces in a workshop. Fantastic. Regards from Scotland.
You're a huge talent, some excellent work there again as usual with your jobs. Your customers are lucky to have access to your skills. Hope that they pay you well.
I started watching this and realised I had watched it before. Jumped ahead and stopped at your work with a torch. You make it all seem so easy. You cut steel like I cut butter with a hot knife. Then you weld, mig, oh I switched to stick because it is windy, so easy. You really know your profession.
Arm chair inspectors… lol Either they’re people who have never really done any welding or they’re just so jealous of your work Isaac. I’ve been welding for 30 years and looks good to me. Keep up the good work!
am no armchair critic from what i see you got it together havin worked with so many boilermakers can see you put a lot into yr work good to watch thanks
full specter of cutting and welding tools here. i got zero to do with metal work, but your channel was one of the reasons I learned to stick weld last summer, and I just enjoy watching large metal things get fixed like that. keep it up!
Again, you showed how to make a repair to bring something back to working order without extensive rework. Nothing fancy, not over done.... because of the nature of the medium the auger is cutting, it's destructive to the auger. Well done Sir!
First of all thank you so much. Now then after I started watching your channel I had a science fair project to do and I had seen you use gouging rods and I made an ark furnace and my electrodes was 1/2in gouging rods that I striped off the copper from. If I hadn’t have watched your channel I would have never made that project work so thank you so much. I also got first place for interview and third over all this was all due to you. Again thank you
Amazing work as ever "just glue it back together" 😂, a true professional you make it look so easy when I know just how much skill a repair like that takes. I think that's one of the best adverts for your work right there, the amount of force that rig is putting on your repair and welds and they hold strong! Great work
It’s amazing that auger holds together as well as it does in those conditions. You captured some excellent footage of this repair I really liked the arc gouging portion
You are amazing as you remove and replace distorted metal that is not straight, square or parallel to anything but yet you are able to restore it to like new, maybe even better than new. Love your round filler piece.
We must start calling you; The Auger Doctor, lol, you make it so look easy, that's just your knowledge and skill showing. Thank for allowing us to look over your shoulder. I enjoy your presentation each and every time.
Issac, it is so good to see another one of your on-the-job weldings and cutting videos. This was for me, one of the best videos that you have ever posted for your fans like me, to view. When seeing a close-up of the plasma cutter actually cutting the metal away, it was mesmerizing how fast the cutter actually cut through the metal. Also, this video was very informative on how to deal with broken heavy metal parts using the plasma cutter. There is no doubt that I will be using it as a reference on how to best use the cutter many times here in my home hobby shop. I will say that you surprised me when you started using the torch, but as I have always said, time moves on with new equipment being invented, but regardless of what changes, the torch will always be with us. In this video, we were treated to plasma cutting, torch cutting, MIG welding, and electrode welding all in one video, wow. Thank you so very much for your videos and informational comments and welding instructions.
Thanks again. I was especially interested in your movements when stick welding. It is the only welding I have done but only occasionally and never enough practice. Great to see what is really going on at the fire.
I'll make a more specific stick welding video with the different weld patterns at some point. That way you all can see how they apply in real world situations.
thank you for showing what they were drilling into , always good to see a good mechanic at work . very nice fix aand explanation on the size of the plug
Making welds that are strong is much harder than it looks. Yours actually get tested. It’s awesome to watch a master at his craft. Thanks for the free lesson. I’m only a garage welder but I love testing my welds. For me that’s the best part.
Anything working as hard as those drills are is going to have a very finite lifespan. Big drilling operation came through montreal over the last 2 years piling for an elevated railway. They were mostly in clay but each drill had a welding rig in full time attendance just in case. The arc shots of the plasma torch at the start of this vid are superb. Thanks to ICWeld for taking the time to share :)
I don't rely on the needle scaler quite as much as you do, but tend to finish my prep with the grinder. That being said you do put down some damn nice beads. I almost always learn something from your videos. Keep up the great work!
Hands of a surgeon. Respect for your torch work my friend. I worked with a few native fellows at a plant in BC. Amazing guys, hard working and very skilled. Always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman at work.
Isaac, my plasma work was generally acceptable (never pretty), but sometimes being out of position would make it look like a sore-toothed beaver chewed it off (not too often). Your control, in all positions, makes me envious. Nice repair, and keep on keepin' on.
Hey those that complain or tell you there opinion of how “it should be done” obviously they either have never done this type of work or they are “you tube experts” in other words they watch way to any videos! I simply enjoy watching another master tradesman do his thing and maybe just maybe I can learn something also and I’ve only been a metal fabricator and welder for 42 years! Good job!
Always worth a watch when you post up a video . Never a video that disappoints always something to learn . A bit of Carbon arc gouging some Mig welding and then some good ole Arc welding . What's not to like . Great commentary as always . Many thanks Isacc.
Perhaps you could have used a square section bar as a filler at 45 Deg. It's what's available no doubt. Everything you do is a work of art. I remember many years ago one welder we had every job he did ended up looking like a porcupine, rods stickup up all over the place. One excellent chap was on around £120 a week and went to work welding the gas pipelines for over £400. His name was Clarence, he came from Africa. That's around 50 odd years ago. You do bring back some memories my friend.
You're like a detective figure out how it happened and then reverse it. It's very relaxing and entertaining watching your videos. 45 to 1 hour long is not a problem. God bless you and your families amen and aloha
I really do I love your attention to detail the mental process that you’re going through and how you’re going to fix it and when you’re done all the teeth lineup perfectly wonder how long it’ll take for the company to screw it up
The comtrast between you and Fireball Tools is fascinaring. He is making things new with a sense of precision and style. You are knocking the mud off the stuff he would probably build and putting it back to functional shape with a lot of frankenstein stitching that is the patina of life for big machines...... Your stitches are even and you seem to be a good machine doctor.
Thanks for sharing your survey of the damage and your repair process. I guess it does not benefit drilling those holes with some kind of lubricant like water and borax. Dolomite and flint rock are not a good combination, but that was left over from when the oceans were in that area before we were walking around.
Pure magic Isaac, child’s play for the Master! Great job, getting it lined up is half the battle and you totally understand the logistics of it all. Can’t wait till the next video.
LOL funny story about stick welding. I was repairing a friends skid steer bucket. I had bought a brand new bottle of shielding gas which meant for the weekend I would have two full bottles. Well they sold me a bottle with only 200 lbs in it. I had to get the job done on the weekend. Finished off the first bottle, switched to the second bottle Sat night at about 4 pm only to discover the bottle had only 200 lbs in it. When it was empty, I had to switch to the old stick. The guy I was doing the work for said to me, I did not know you could weld so well with a stick. I explained, i had started out with a stick many moons ago and am excellent with it, but the mig is just so much faster and less splatter for cleanup. Instead of finishing the job at 10 pm I finished it at 4 am. It really is a lot slower.
fantastic color and arc shot at 5:40......best auto dark view I have seen on RUclips......Bravo......Paul over in Central Florida, wishing you a wonderful Easter

This is the foundation drilling business. It’s the nature of the business.

Thanks for sharing your survey of the damage and your repair process.
I guess it does not benefit drilling those holes with some kind of lubricant like water and borax.
Dolomite and flint rock are not a good combination, but that was left over from when the oceans were in that area before we were walking around.
You’re a master of those augers!
there ain't no skill better than knowing how to glue metal together. really enjoy your show, thanks.
Pure magic Isaac, child’s play for the Master! Great job, getting it lined up is half the battle and you totally understand the logistics of it all. Can’t wait till the next video.
LOL funny story about stick welding. I was repairing a friends skid steer bucket. I had bought a brand new bottle of shielding gas which meant for the weekend I would have two full bottles. Well they sold me a bottle with only 200 lbs in it. I had to get the job done on the weekend. Finished off the first bottle, switched to the second bottle Sat night at about 4 pm only to discover the bottle had only 200 lbs in it. When it was empty, I had to switch to the old stick. The guy I was doing the work for said to me, I did not know you could weld so well with a stick. I explained, i had started out with a stick many moons ago and am excellent with it, but the mig is just so much faster and less splatter for cleanup. Instead of finishing the job at 10 pm I finished it at 4 am. It really is a lot slower.
but in the wind a whole lot better!!
