AGREE!!! I believe the only part of making a longer video is loading it up on here. There may be some holdups there, plus it takes him longer to upload.
Agreed! If anyone doesn't enjoy the long format they don't enjoy the work either... So informative, thank you for taking the time to create it! What a great job too!
I really enjoyed this. I'm not a professional welder, but I certainly learned some valuable things. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us Issac. Keep at it! Dan.
These jobs will make a man out of person, the sense of satisfaction when you finish is priceless. The customers will have no idea of the skill involved getting it done and never will, that's fine I've always done these for myself. thanks for the content and greetings from NJ
There's a reason why you are always busy. Because you are able to fix the problem instead of just replacing a part. With the world wide supply chain issue, the now common just in time parts supply model doesn't work. You get equipment running again instead of waiting for parts to be switched out. We get to watch over your shoulder and learn/enjoy your process & thinking.
It never ceases to amaze me how a machine that size can be destroyed and someone like you can make it better than new again. You should never apologize for doing a job correctly no matter how long it takes. The video is not too long and of very good quality and informative for all.
On video 1 I sat there thinking how many people I know would have driven that pin in and said 'it will wear in" lol.. What a sign of a quality repair. With all your experience with these ultra harsh situations you should design and farm out the manufacturer of the RAMBO BOOM REPLACEMENT.. I can only imagine these repairs are the start of the end. Maybe people would buy a bare machine with your Rambo BOOM... lol
@@ICWeld Im sure you know the failure points and stresses inside and out. I guess maybe the only option would be to run the entire lower section out of solids or some other unrealistic solution too cost prohibitive. Would seem better to build a better boom even though OEM's provide jobs for repair. You'd think they'd offer a hammer boom or something with a bunch of internal stiffening that would help.
Another day, another banana (OK, same one); lotsa cuttin', weldin'... Fun to watch, although not necessarily the same to do the actual work. But at any rate I'm doing my part (watching, that is) as best as I can ;-) I have some experience with this kind of work, and while I never worked on anything even remotely "so big", I do have a taste of this stuff - the smell, the dust, the gruelling physical work. (But hey, it always did wonders to the evening beer - it ALWAYS tasted great after it ;-) Watching your videos is not only about "entertaining spark show" - the most interesting part is figuring out how to tackle the problem at hands, while keeping in mind there's more than one way to skin a cat. Cheers, Isaac!
I can watch you all day, I'm learning alot just from watching you do this. You say it's hard, I know its hard, but you make it look so easy and not a big deal to do. But man what a job to do this, you have skills and knowledge way beyond myself. Great job, keep up the great work.
Like your long videos. My dad was manager of a mechanical shop in the forties until the sixties as a teen I hung out there learned to weld and run all kinds of machine equipment love your talent and nearly 90 years old your show brings back many mercies of my time spent in the mine shop .
It was very unfortunate that your son was in school at this particular time. I say this, inasmuch, as this job would have been a good example of how to deal with opposing stress points in metal and how to relieve the tension from the various stress points and get straight welds even with tension on the metal. Thank you for the video it was a really good one to watch.
Hey Issac, that sucker was a real challenge!! I think it's hard for some people to understand you can't just run to the store and get a new one. Great job getting it back making money! Good thing your dad showed up to help you through the hard parts!!:)
That plasma torch is the Bomb, great asset to your hoarde and the savings on acetylene gas and oxygen tanks will pay for the rig. As usual great video and showing of your master craftsman skills 👌
Congratulations on the free pin in the finished product. After the initial success of freeing up the pin, that much welding could have caused the part to seize again. You kept the pin as free at the end, after all that "hot melt gluing, " as when you freed it up. Don't try that at home, folks!
Spent a 10 hour shift welding……what do I do?…..watch you weld……lol. In the industry I weld in…..I can’t do anything without engineering approval……they can’t trust my 26 years of welding. Your videos are so refreshing……you engineer, and weld yourself.
It's interesting to see your thinking and reasoning behind each single weld. Things like extending a weld beyond the new plate section despite old weld being there. I guess past problems have taught you some wise moves.
You are a “welding magician”. You are one of the few I look for when God grants me a free moment for you tube vids. I agree with most of your RUclipsrs, long is not bad. Your humility is infectious. I think the most valuable trait you have is knowing how the steel will “ walk” after each weld. I gotta believe the whole yard staff come out to see the latest magic you’ve done for the tool they’ve destroyed. Go to bed feeling good about what you’ve done. Beautiful.
really enjoyed the video 👍. you mentioned it being a long video... to me there's nothing wrong with long videos... there's a process to to complete the repair... and I understand that at times it's not going to fit in a smaller time frame to show everything that is required to be done and tell a complete story. again I enjoyed the video, thank you for showing me what it takes to make this kind of repair. lastly, looking forward to the next one 👍😁
Considering you're teaching us... i'm not complaining about a long video. Uh, uh. I am thankful, and humbled, that someone who's on the job, takes their time to teach us ignobles in the cheap seats. Thank you!
I've seen a line bore done, and it looked easier, even with all the machining, than the fab work you just did. Great vid...you fixed it like any shop I've ever worked in, would have. Biggest difference is I would use stick. 👍
Man thought that was a can of worms in the beginning…. Great work .. master of the torch .. just like the demo you put on at Jesse millers shop a few years ago ..
I don't know a darn thing about welding but when I watch your videos I'm totally fascinated! The way you explain things makes it make sense to my non welding mind. Good job!
Didn't mind the length at all. The plasma is impressive and it's always been my go-to. I'm hoping you can do updates as per costs. The torch is about $1800 and consumables aren't cheap. You can buy a lot of gas for that money.
A good thing to remember is, when you beef up one part of somthing it puts the stress on another part of the piece , so something will break eventually but thanks so much for your vids
it was a good call to just cut that cracked side of the bore off. I think even if you got that pin loose by cutting the full pen seam, by the time you got the seam re welded I would be would be worried the tension would still be there and would have locked that pin back up. Not to mention with the bore being cracked like that you got a much cleaner prep by beveling it with the plasma torch for that repair. One trick I’ve learned working on these to make sure the bores are level is just putting a pipe in the bores and useing a torpedo to make sure everything is straight and no twists. Love your videos keep up the good work!
Thank you for showing the pin install. Tanya will be disapointed you did not have to use her, but your customer will be thankful she is no longer a necessary instalation tool. Great video
Long video? As each video ends I wish it was longer! I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your thought process and its execution, I'm always amazed when the jobs finished. Wish I was there in person! Outstanding Issac and than you!
IC ,I’m surprised there isn’t any gussets inside the baffle. Then again I’m not an engineer. Appreciate you passing on your knowledge to JR and us. Gracias desde Kansas City!
You sir, are a steel whisperer. I would be honored to sweep the metal slag and debris from your floor! Thank you for another extremely satisfying video, and allowing us to witness your magic😀
I too tend to/like to talk out loud to myself when I’m analyzing/thinking through the solution to a problem and the best fix. As you mentioned it could still bow during welding.
I enjoy watching you work on the booms of the excavators and backhoe, I do some welding, still learning. Thanks for the lessons on welding, I learned a lot from watching your videos.
That was a doozy of a repair fantastic job much nicer and cleaner then a lot of work I’ve seen people do in the past definitely setting the bar for what should be done 👍
Isaac, I've done this type of work for a few years. And i tell you that's one slick job. I have the experience to know what's good and what's not so good. My hats off to ya, you are da man. Thanks for the video.
Had a brew and watched this in full. Really enjoyed it, never tire of watching someone who’s really good at what they do. Love how you explain your thinking as you go along.
I like the long videos or a long job split into sections ….I find you work interesting the problems you come across and the methods you use to solve them ,you chats are informative and make understanding your work so much real and educational …
You sir wield those torches like a surgeon does a scalpel. I am in total awe with you ability to look at the damage and come up with a viable solution. I never get tired of watching you work the problem. Work facinates me, I can watch it all day and never get tired. Thank you.
I couldn't visualize the stresses in the metal until you step by step revealed them. A masterful job of de-constructing the failure and rebuilding the component. I knew your repair was going to work, but it was still very satisfying to see that pin slide home perfectly at the end of the video. Masterful repair job!
NEVER apologize for a long video! Personally, I wish they were all this long or longer. I never tire of watching a master at work!
Agree 100 percent!
That’s how it should be ☝🏻
Agreed

You are far from a rookie!

Good job, I like the ingenuity that went into the repair….wasn’t easy and they did that thing dirty but you knocked it out 👊🏽
No need to apologise for the length of the video, we are more than happy to watch you work sir.
You should be well paid for your knowledge let alone for your welding skills. Well done !!!!
It was very unfortunate that your son was in school at this particular time.

So long oxy ace now that you have the long Hypertherm torch. Sweet machine.
Ah, the old throw the sledge at the ground trick. Something all field welders are proficient at.
What a mess! But your thought process was right on, and it looked great in the end! Was not to long! Great video series!
I repaired a backhoe for a neighbor using some of the techniques I learned in your videos. Thanks 😊
No worries on the longer video. Every minute was an education from a knowledgeable teacher. Thank you!
I really enjoy your work and your confidence mixed with a sense of humility. You sir are an artist.
New subscriber here. Nice mad welding skills. Kurtis told me to stop by. Another great channel to watch in morning with my coffee.
Thanks for the sub!
That's a seriously impressive repair. It's a privilege to be taken along with you on these jobs. I personally enjoy the longer videos.
I think these bananas are my favorite thing to watch you work on. Thanks for providing these videos!
FULL WATCH RETIRED GOT FILMS IN BACKGROUND playing long ones hear the projects great work
Hey Issac, that sucker was a real challenge!! I think it's hard for some people to understand you can't just run to the store and get a new one. Great job getting it back making money! Good thing your dad showed up to help you through the hard parts!!:)
Actually we have them in stock at cat in slc utah 320 is most common excavator you do not want to see the bill for a new boom though
@@jeremyhanna3852 I have no idea, but I’d take a wild guess at 55 K US??? Edit. Make that $75 K and I bet I’m still way low!
Absolute artistry.
If welding were poetry,
Isaac would be Shakespeare.
Love your videos looking forward to part 2 of your friend , Milton's truck
That plasma torch is the Bomb, great asset to your hoarde and the savings on acetylene gas and oxygen tanks will pay for the rig.
As usual great video and showing of your master craftsman skills 👌
Great work Isaac. Video length was fine, plenty of good content.
What a great repair. I’d have you work on my machinery any day if you were nearby.
This was an amazing repair! I love the long version of the videos!
Your torch skills are just mind boggling.
Congratulations on the free pin in the finished product. After the initial success of freeing up the pin, that much welding could have caused the part to seize again. You kept the pin as free at the end, after all that "hot melt gluing, " as when you freed it up. Don't try that at home, folks!

last of a dying breed the video does not show the amount of time this actually takes
Look like your liking the long handle plasma, might have to get one.
I am!
Awesome Craftsmanship !

Hello from Las Vegas Nevada
I like your videos and is a lot to learn from it

I can only agree with the other comments - longer the better. That new bit of kit was well worth the money. Never seen any thing like it.
Very interesting as usual. Didnt find it to long to be honest. Look forward to your next repair challenge.
Man thought that was a can of worms in the beginning…. Great work .. master of the torch .. just like the demo you put on at Jesse millers shop a few years ago ..
Yeah buddy! that was a neat class
A little CAT yellow from Sherwin Williams ,just a lika' new! Great job!!
Isaac the work you do is magic. Your son is so lucky to learn from the best of the best.😊😊😊
Given how much I hate people looking over my shoulder this is a guilt free way for me to watch and learn , thanks as always for the opportunity.
Issac you are a magical person with those torch, gas or plasma . I hope the customer appreciated all the work you've done. 😉😁
Don’t apologize for long videos. We love them!👍😊
I don't know a darn thing about welding but when I watch your videos I'm totally fascinated! The way you explain things makes it make sense to my non welding mind. Good job!

Ike don't worry about the video being long we watch for knowledge and enjoyment and entertainment purposes so you do what you do. Nice job my friend.
I love everything you video on your channel my friend. You are one of the best at what you do and how you do it. Keep up the great work.
That torch sure works slick, wish it had come out before I retired.
Fabricating to a few thou ( 0.05mm) is Impressive, designers will say it cannot be done.
Excellent work Issac, great video and thanks for sharing.
One would expect a designer to say you cannot equate 0.05 mm to a few thousandths, unless it was an interior designer.
That was a tough one. Excellent job.
That is art. He is an artist. And an Architect, which is one of the same.

IC ,I’m surprised there isn’t any gussets inside the baffle. Then again I’m not an engineer. Appreciate you passing on your knowledge to JR and us. Gracias desde Kansas City!
There is a baffle just a bit forward of the opening.

That was a long and winding road - but you got there. That’s what matters.
Amazing how you kept the pin bore straight with all the welding. There's a guy that knows what he is doing 👍
What I really like is the clear explanations and quiet music. Thanks for all the video angles as well, they take up a lot time and effort.
