This man here, is a true metal fabricator. Checking all his fit up, distancing on all his materials. Pre heating and cool downs. Before he even strikes an arc. Always loved watching his videos, thank you.
I’ll never be welding the stuff you weld, just a hobbyist. But, I enjoy watching you because you seem to do miracles, you take your time, you admit your mistakes- then fix them and you show the practical side of the job. As others have said another great job, look forward to the next one.
I was a driller/driller helper for 10 years can't count how many hours I spent fixing augers and center-bits on hollow stem or continual flight. I'm not sure how much you do these kind of repairs but when I was doing it I would find a piece of pipe with the right inside diameter of the lead bits like you were just working on, and then I would make reference marks of where the pockets and bit points are on the pipe that way it's an easier way to rebuild it and get it back in the right position one other thing I'm sure you did it but you didn't show it was make sure those bits turn in the pockets otherwise they'll wear out extremely quick and prematurely fail as well as your client either needs to do hard facing or pay you to do the hard facing that way it will keep the pockets and center-bits from wearing out as quickly as well BTW absolutely love your Channel you are one of the best man I have seen with a cutting torch in my 30 Years of construction as well as a welder/fabricator you need to teach kids how to weld and torch
You take a tremendous amount of pride in your work....the measuring ,fitting , tacking measuring again little tap here little tap there I loved the preciseness in how you operate your work in general !!! Always a amazing video !! I have always loved to vertical up with stick the amount of penetration you get is amazing you can see that weld puddle digging in !! Very nice work as always sir !!👍👍Really enjoyed it !!
You are a master at your trade but a word of advice from a guy who runs a large asphalt grinder and replaces teeth all the time don't hit the carbide tip with a steel hammer that's a good way to loose your teeth the carbide will blow up in your face use a brass hammer when you hit that tooth in with your hammer I cringed love your videos
I don't have to say it because you already know it. Preparation is 80 to 90% of any successful welding or fabrication project. Love to see someone else who knows how to sharpen a torch! Keep the iron hot Brother!
I really appreciate you using the auto-darkening filter on the camera -- makes it much easier to see what you're doing! I think this is the first welding video I've seen where someone did that, too.
Lot of videos out there where people talk the talk but can't walk the walk. Let me tell you the first thing I saw that showed me your the real deal. You didn't baby that oxygen lever on the torch. I see all kinds of people who just barely press it. I always ask em why you gonna set your oxygen on 40 if you ain't gonna use it all? 👍👍👍
It always amazes me, first of all, how neat your torch work is and how quick it’s able to cut through thick steel. You make it look so easy but it’s anything but. The AvG channel did a video about torch cutting and how difficult it is and that it can take years to become even average at it let alone the skill level you have. Awesome job as always Issac.
That’s probably because he might be using propylene instead of acetylene. That’s what we use at my work shop. All we do is repair for heavy equipment like augers.
I use to work at the railway up in Canada CNR we would do the Christmas tree vertical,you start by building a shelf at the bottom then go up the side to the center come back to the other side and hold then go across the face to other side and hold then to the center and hold used a 7018
@@topduk I've done multiple fueltanks repairs on trains with HF Tig. And if any vehicle has computers and electric do-hickeys on them, it's trains. Never had any trouble. It's all about putting your ground clamp close to where you are welding..... Oh yeah, and drain the tank thoroughly....💥
if you are running that at 107 amps (they look like 1/4inch rods) I have been using some awful welding rods...I need to look into that, I could not weld something that chunky with the rods I've been using. are they standard mild steel rods too? I learn a lot from watching your videos so please keep posting them. Thanks Isaac
Not they look like a 1/8 - 5/32 rods. the piece of steel that he is working on is of high carbon steel, so the welding rods must match the quality of the piece to be welded on !!
Really interesting watching you work. Inspires me to get a welder and learn to do this kind of thing myself. Wish you were in my area. I would take some lessons from ya! Thank you, and keep up the great vids........
Amazing how well you carve that thing up with the torch like someone carving a Thanksgiving turkey with a knife. I'm always impressed by your torch work. Really great views of those vertical welds. Nice work.
What does that kind of repair cost? How much time does it take outside of the 43 minutes you recorded? Just curious-it may not be professional to discuss the job cost so forgive me if I shouldn’t ask.
As a welding/fabricator with a shop I Northern California I can tell you that my shop rate is $150.00 an hour so if I was doing that job it would probably have cost the customer $300.00 because I would think that he had two hours total in that job from start to finish. Am I pricey, oh hell yes but your paying for 40 years of built up knowledge. You could take to Joe blow, know nothing and have him do it for $50 but you get what you pay for!
A new pilot with 4 teeth like this is around $400 (China made) Most of the time when a pocket breaks off. We just replace the whole pilot unless it’s an easy fix. The only time repairs are really made on pilots is because they needed it on a job asap.
Guy, I do welding (not my primary thing) and the vertical was always hard for me. Watching over your shoulder on this repair was a great insight on the CORRECT position and rod action. Can't wait to give it a test run. Thanks again for allowing us to look over your shoulder, seeing first hand how a master does it. Great video.
The way he runs the weld, it looks like he is using 6010 or 6011 welding rods but the finished weld is not what those welds look like when you use 6010-6011 rods !!
When I saw him knock off slag with his pliers I thought of Derek (V.G.G) a pair of vice grips would have done a much better job of that slang bit, LOL.
I think I figured out my torch problems, I hold my tip too close to the work, or maybe I don't run enough oxygen pressure...Or I'm asking too much from my small tip. Your video's I have learned a lot. He cuts nicer free hand with torch then my plasma cutter. hahaha A+++
That’s great life long skill you got taught. All my grandad taught me was that WW2 was Hell and how to be a 20yr AA member lol. Still a great guy, helluva work ethic. Taught me how to run a chainsaw as a 10yr old and cut firewood for everyone around the lake that he was 25yrs older then haha
Great job, both the welding and the videography. The auto-darkening lens on the camera and edited volume on the audio when using the needle scaler are pro level. When I slow down the video speed, your movement of the rod tip and working the puddle can truly be appreciated.
You couldn't have picked a better pro to watch than Isaac!!! You can see a lot of youtube welders, but Issac is a hands-on, pure application welder...no clamped up practice pieces here!
Great to watch reminds me way back when I was getting my pipe cert but since being in racing all I do is TIG OR MIG! It’s great to see a pro at work with a stick Rod what a pleasure to watch your technique in the vertical position!
@Henkka well I would tend to disagree with you, there is a use for every type of welding or it would not be so widely used throughout the world today, there are thousands of things welded together with one or more types of Metal inert Gas Welding. So I actually find this statement very ignorant on your behalf. From the car you drive to the cart you push at the grocery store is welded with this form of welding. Next to SMAW it’s probably the most widely used form of welding.
Mig is very useful and very versitile,if you do the research on its capabilities,and purchase a good machine tge possibilities are endless,you can weld lots of different metals,you can mig braze,you can weld cast iron etc:
You make it look easy , I'm a lucky man being able to see a Pro at work , watching how you do it makes me want to Weld something , I've done a few projects , enough to get buy , sometimes have to do them over again , but practice makes perfect ! Thanks For Sharing !
I’ve followed you for a while now and I’d like to say thank you. I’ve picked up a lot of tricks an ways of doing things from watching your work. When I put my rig together I was dead set on pipeline but after watching your videos I realized I can make decent money around my area and I’ve never looked back.
Your torch skills are solid but man you lost me when you didn't grind it clean. I had an instructor once tell me if it's worth welding it's worth grinding it clean first. Other than that you are a pretty solid welder/ fabricator and I appreciate the vid. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your time in this video. I do not know how long it takes to edit the videos I have seen 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 ratios; time editing vs viewing time.
Very well set out points needing to be in line and not just sizzled in randomly . Lots of care to put it where it should be even breaking the tack as it wasn't sat right . Some very nice torch work and a good build up of weld . Bread n butter job but still interesting enough to video to show the satisfaction you get doing any project. Thanks for sharing
Man I love your videos. Every damn one. Question: you said cold pass then a hot one 104 amps to 107 amps. There’s that much difference? I’d love to hear your reasoning in a video sometime on that info. I do weld some at work and want to know more. Thx for the video
It was amazing to watch you build up those gaps with the weaves. The autodarkening really makes it stand out. Thanks for adding that feature to the videos. Do you just tape an autodarkening lens over your camera, or is it a special setup?

Great video, I would say that repair is stronger than the rest of the bit.
I really appreciate you using the auto-darkening filter on the camera -- makes it much easier to see what you're doing! I think this is the first welding video I've seen where someone did that, too.
I enjoy watching you work. You are very pleasant to listen to and I can tell that quality is important to you. Can’t wait for the next video.
Great job welding . good video. Thanks for keeping the music to a minimum.
That was really great. It's always amazing to see pieces like that being refurbished to be used again. Great stuff!!
Another great, informative video. Your torching skills are surgical.
Awesome. Keep em coming man. Millennial here aiming to fill your shoes one day. Can’t get enough of this content!

Awesome video once again Isaac. I thoroughly enjoy your humble personality and your work speaks for itself. Great stuff bud. Keep growing the channel.
It was a real pleasure being able to clearly see your ark shots and puddle manipulation in this video. Keep this up please. Thanks.
Love to watch your precise torch work Issac!!!
I only found you after watching Curtis from cutting edge engineering and he watches you
very nice,, thanks for the hard work getting the video for us ..
Jippii and wow, great job. Awesome video again, more such videos, I do look at them all. Greetings from Finland.
Fantastic work isaac .
Nice work it really shows your experience and quality of work
Another amazing piece of work. You cut steel better with a torch then I cut paper with scissors and a drawn line, well done
It always amazes me, first of all, how neat your torch work is and how quick it’s able to cut through thick steel. You make it look so easy but it’s anything but. The AvG channel did a video about torch cutting and how difficult it is and that it can take years to become even average at it let alone the skill level you have. Awesome job as always Issac.
Might take Avg a bit longer than that.
Do you mean AvE? Or is AvG a channel i haven't came across yet?
I could not agree with you more
@@Lucas12v your right, it’s AvE.
That’s probably because he might be using propylene instead of acetylene. That’s what we use at my work shop. All we do is repair for heavy equipment like augers.
Another great job. I appreciate the thru the lens videoing. Thanks Isaac.. Hope you and your family are well!!
Sad as I am to some, but I'm sure amongst your followers I'll be amongst like minded folk when I say "that vertical weld was beautiful!!!"
Back at it again. Some nice welds. And that touch cutting still amazes
Absolutely perfect in the end.
Awesome video and awesome job. I really enjoyed the video.

Nice work as always! Earlier this week I used a trick I learned from watching your videos to fix a mess I created. Keep them coming.
extremely nice work
Great video… perfect camera position to watch weld puddle. Stay safe…
I've welded on hundreds of vehicles without disconnecting the battery and never had any issues.
Yeah it's all about grounding. You don't want to us the chassis grounding or wiring for welding grounds at all.
Don't use HF start.
@@topduk I've done multiple fueltanks repairs on trains with HF Tig.
And if any vehicle has computers and electric do-hickeys on them, it's trains.
Never had any trouble. It's all about putting your ground clamp close to where you are welding.....
Oh yeah, and drain the tank thoroughly....💥
@@kristianskov4841 The higher the voltage the more critical that becomes.
Great peice of cutting. 👍👍
Spectacular!
Nice repair!!!
man you can cut straighter with a torch then i can with a pair of scissors
A fantastic welder!

Yes he is a maestro with a torch.

Nice repair , looks like 7018 rod , thank you .
Nice job filling in the cracks
You make vertical weaves look so easy. Let us know if you have any tips for vertical welding in future videos. Thanks for the videos. 👍
Watch the cooling edge of the puddle below the weld. itll tell you where you need to pause or fill as youre moving side to side.
@@ICWeld thank you for this.
76 days left till I retire from the trade! Not going to miss being out in the weather!
Last but I watched it ! Thanks Again !
The way he runs the weld, it looks like he is using 6010 or 6011 welding rods but the finished weld is not what those welds look like when you use 6010-6011 rods !!
The camera was so nice and close I could see the molted metal drops from the stick and the puddles too. Thanks!
Man! You had to pour some metal into that drilling head huh? Nice finished product though! Thanks...
Heck yea! I Love Friday nights with Isaac and Derek (VGG). Always a great way to start the weekend.

Electronics and bears are what you have to worry about, keep the ground as close to the work piece as possible, Like you I never had any problems !!
The King of the Weld reigns supreme !
Howdy from Sacramento! I don't weld and I know zero about it, but I find your work fascinating and very relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing!

When slag peels off in one piece that’s a good weld.
I like how you look at the project and figure the placement and it just works out perfect. Great repair on the broken drill head.

Beautiful work Issac!
It was amazing to watch you build up those gaps with the weaves. The autodarkening really makes it stand out. Thanks for adding that feature to the videos. Do you just tape an autodarkening lens over your camera, or is it a special setup?
special setup on my go pro camera.
@@ICWeld I works great!
You, sir, are an artist. I respect your skill and your eye. o7
Nice job buddy ... That's why you make the big bucks 👍
What's the most used hammer in Isaac's tool box? His multi-tool. To help with not damaging the truck with grounding your welder, try a thick sheet of rubber under the mount of the vice. Hopefully you have a sheet of plexiglass over the camera lens to protect it from splatter.
In the 40+ years I’ve been building high end race cars I can tell you that I’ve never fried a ECU!

Try this…turn on your FM radio the fire up your TIG Welder on AC and weld something and you can hear the interference of the high frequency coming through the speakers.
What series of welding rod do you use, do you pre and post heat?
Hey guys, sorry I didnt realize the video quality was so bad on this one. I'll try and fix the problem for the next video. Not sure what happened.
