As a retired Coded welder with over 50 years experience in MMA, Mig, Tig and Oxy / Acetylene, this is a good repair! Nice to see a craftsman willing to pass on his knowledge! Good man and Bollocks to the Thumbs downers!!
I agree.
I did this king of repairs for many years on a daily basis. I learned the basics from my father, and built on that. I always had the impression that anybody could do it. But the truth is, it takes talent, skills, knowledge, practice experience and the right equipment.
The hardest puzzle I had to do, was probably to put back together a brand new magnesium chainsaw casing after it got run over by a tractor. That got my skills stretched to the limit to get all the parts to fit right and true. But I saved the machine and the customer was very happy.
@@sailjunky7326 Yep, My Dad taught me too! He served his apprenticeship with Swan, Hunter, Wigham and Richardson on the river Tyne. You have to have a 'can do' attitude and always be hungry for knowledge also being unafraid to venture into the unknown! Don't be afraid to experiment and don't be afraid of failure! Learn by your and other peoples mistakes.
Sweet Triton Mo!
@@petehorsburgh4584 It was a Dominator 88 with a 1957, 498cc Doug Hele 90 bore Manx Norton engine, road registered and I rode it on the road.
No idea why someone would thumbs down!
THANK YOU for actually explaining what you are doing! I'm so sick of 99% of RUclips channels that basically just show of that THEY know how to do something without actually explaining anything. Or worse, never saying a single word.
I'm surprised you used the method you did. I would have guessed you had cut off the damaged section leaving space to weld without affecting the mating face and welded on a length of tube of matching diameter and thickness.
The end result, especially considering the method, is outstanding!
I'm not even into metal works, I'm a computer engineering student, I don't know how did these videos got recommended to me but I got hooked up on this, it is amazing watch welding, you just earned a subscriber, sir!
Very well spoken for the general perception of a welder.
Man you killed it on this repair. Not only to be able to do it well but also do it that quickly is a real testament to your skill.
So you're NOT one of the shops that says"You can't fix this~you will have to order a new one"~! I knew a guy like you in my youth and you really remind me of him and he was also a Natural=Just like you. Great video and put me down for a subscription. Thanks.
Ever since seeing my dad re make a sprocket for my dirt bike when I was 9, I have been amazed at what ppl can build / fix . I now will attempt anything with metal.
Welding/ fabricating is so satisfying.
Wow, so cool to see how a pro would go about repairing something!
I didn’t think you could do a “fill” on this, but now I know.
Thanks Justin.
Nice to see someone actually doing stuff instead of telling us all about their viewer gifts or comments. Great video, thanks
It's also that quick with the hands of a skilled welder. Knowledge and knowing how to be patient are key.
I honestly didn't know this was possible. Makes me want to get into TIG welding.
You should. Tig welding takes a day to learn, a lifetime to master.
At my old job I had to do this kind of repair all the time. It was a pain in the ass because the robots would always burn through this tiny 1mm tube with a 90 degree bend on it. Repairing that thin of metal is difficult enough but adding that annoying bend was the worst.
@@kyleglenn2434 I've yet to see anyone learn tig in a day, mig I've seen people pick up in 30min, tig not so much
@@jonathangarzon2798 I did in 2 days with previous welding experience.
@@proxypanda4156 I'm sure with some welding theory you can get any process down in at MAX 3 days
A grand craftsman, knows his craft well.
Excellent repair and very educational for the inexperienced. Explanation of the process and reasoning behind it is one of the many reasons I continue to follow you. Well done!
Most fabricators would either say no to the job or still be thinking about it after 1.5 hours. Top notch work. This RUclips channel is better than any resumé
Congrats! You have achieved Metal God Status!
Very nice work.
It's always a joy to watch a craftsman at work.
Teaching myself how to tig weld and plasma torch right now. Saw this and now I know how to repair that corner of the tranny oil pan! Thank you!!!
Wow. That was really awesome to see as a student wanting to get into the weld repair industry. Thanks for showing us. I really liked the content and would love to see more like this.
You appreciate us watching and we appreciate you sharing - thank you.
one word. TALENTED.
Wow, if I never saw this video and saw the repaired part I would've thought the customer replaced it. Nice job fella!
Unreal speed and precision with minimal help from tools. Awesome job
Nice repair! I never would have thought replacing that missing chunk with weld would have been viable.
Of course it is. That's repair welding. lol
@@cuteface88 I would have tried to weld in a chunk of tubing.
@@cuteface88 don't be that guy
@@richardschofield2201 No problem, Dick.
Thank you very much for coming back. Awesome repair.
Thanks for getting right to the problem with no extra unnecessary blab. Good work.
Great job Justin. The repair looks really good. Another happy customer !
Been awhile since I’ve seen your work.
Glad you’re still doing business man
Stay blessed
nice job. did a ton of this kind of work for many years. watching this really brought back memories. thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed watching a craftsman at work and very well presented video...thank you for downloading!
I like your videos better than the ones from the other welding channels. Seeing how you get actual jobs done is more interesting than, "This is how to do a butt weld. This is how you do a lap weld."
Your video demonstrates one of the best things about welding. You can put metal back. It's not just about fitting two perfect pieces of metal together and joining them with a bead.
I wish people would do more videos on straightening. I had to figure out that TIG straightening existed, all by myself.
You should get more angle grinders.
Thank you for imparting knowledge on us. I learned to weld aluminum because of your help all that time ago
This is why I llove fabrication and welding, you can make something or repair it with the right knowledge. Amazing work
More of this!! Great work! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like you're going back to the old style of videos, LOVE IT!!
1.5 hours wow! Looks great! Nice detail in the video also with the describing what you where doing and why. Thanks for the video
Justin, thanks for the video man! Very detailed! Can’t wait to start tig welding!
Watching you repair a TOCE exhaust is like the world's best surgeon saving the world's worst person.
There are so many years of experience that go into making THAT a 1.3hr repair.
Justin, outstanding walk-through on an "OMG" repair. Great delivery on thought process, technique, and execution. My mentor taught me 40 years ago, "the mindset for repair, and the mindset for build new are different". This was an outstanding repair delivery. Well played my friend.
You must have had a hack for a mentor. This guy is extremely dangerous. Anyone who has spent any real time in the shop would run from people like this. He would never ever work in my shop. And neither would you.
Thanks for showing us this. It's a great technique to salvage something impossible to find parts for.
well done bro. Nice to see craftsmen willing to do a job like this.
That was awesome! When the video started I didn't think that was the direction the repair was going to go in. Definitely glad that I watched this
What a well-done, informative piece. Your voice-over was concise, informative, and did not meander. I really enjoyed it!
Really good for all manual machining. Appreciate the work.
It's always amazed me the results which can be obtained from basic hand tools like files and die grinders when one takes their time.
Nice repair!
If you like good work with basic tools check out Alan Millyard
Khyber pass is a testament to that
Awesome video. Great craftsmanship!!
Right on! That wire wheel thing on the grinder is a lot faster than my rigged up wire brush on reciprocating saw.
As a retired aircraft welder ex RAN Fleet Air Arm that is a great job IMO. Well done!!
That was some awesome work, expertly finished!
That's incredible. Nice work my friend. You're an artist.
this is true craftsmanship in action. good job.
That's some really great work! As a beginner welder it's left me a lot to aspire to.
I learned something from this, that's a good way to start my day. Know that the AL would not stick to the steel is good....knowing what will happen if you pull and arc to the steel is good to know also.
No idea why this was in my feed but I love this stuff and you now have a new follower, nicely done....👍
Nice work. Thanks for sharing
That's pretty cool, I'm a below beginner booger stick welder.....love that yall put out these videos
oh wow...would you look at that........TOCE.... why am i not surprised!!!
Awesome repair, loved the process of repairing something that almost looked unrepairable , well done thanks for posting!!
Excellent work buddy. Omg that turned out excellent. I would never have thought about the stainless sleeve inside. Saved a huge headache grinding.
Thank you for posting, nice work.
End job looked good and another happy customer, I'm sure. Next time you get one of these projects try using a sleeve/coller to wrap the outside and weld the inside first. Then you can pull the coller, grind down some of the junk from the backing and run stringers all the way across the face from the base to the edge. I use this technique when I'm trying to maximize weld quality and minimize a "dirty" weld. It allows you to run lower amps as well. You might like it, you might not, but figured I would share because you're skilled enough to pull it off. It's more work, but it gives me a higher quality weld.
Nice job. Made it look easy
This looks like it was both challenging, fun and satisfying to do. Well done my man!👍
Nice work. Thank you for this video.
Super satisfying watching this video. I really want to practice doing this kind of welding with my powertig.
You are awesome 👍🏻 i just bought my fist tig machine and your videos really helpt me start up.
This is absolute art! Great job!
Nice work. Well done!
You are one of the best welder/ fabricator I have ever seen.
Dude, I repair boat parts all the time exactly like this. This is a very impressive repair. Right on.
Do it all the time. It's fun bringing stuff back to life.
Great job. Fine finish!
You sir, are one slick fixer. I loved watching this!
Great repair! Thanks for the insight!
Brilliant work!
Beautiful work as always
Great job turned out very well there. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend weld on my friend
Really good work. Thank you.

Without doubt, this is an example of professional workmanship, and forward planning.
In addition, the video production is excellent and way above many atrocious productions
with poor narration.
Perfection is not achievable ... The best one should strive for is 'Excellence' as taught to me
by my Engineering Mentor.
Even I learned something from your work and experience.
So I thank you for that.
This earns a Thumbs Up and a subscription
Ignore the 'Nay-sayers".
Perfection is a goal, but nothing else.
Excellent work...thank you
Great weld. And Steps procedure great finish
Beautiful job Sir
Nice work!!
Excellent welding and rebuilding!
I remember using that method a few times but not on a round machined part nice work! People think it's easy, but to repair something like that and sand it to look machined isn't easy.I've fixed steel too, as a backer I had some brass.
Mate your definitely very good at your trade love watching your work and videos always learn new things from you.
Nice work
Excellent job, clever idea.
Never welded anything in my life, nor likely too, this was amazing, fascinating, marvelous, throughly enjoyed the show now subscribed.
Unexpected. Thanks for sharing this technique
I love jobs like those. I did a few Harley crankcase and covers. I did a head for a Harley. After it was resurfaced worked perfect. I like watching a welder that know what he is doing great job.
Great work, sir!
So satisfying to see him build it back up
You're good at what you do man!
Good job Bob.
That was a beautiful thing to watch.
Hey love your style and work on the channel. I subscribed a month ago after you teaching me everything about tubing. You got me on my way. Thanks for the channel.
Nice work.i didn't know you could weld on steel and not stick very informative.
I love tig welding and I can really appreciate your work. I am in the Philippines now and I do not have a Tig welder yet but I brought my Henrob Oxy Acet torch with me it does cover all of the bases just sometimes not a pretty . My consumables are motorcycle spokes carbon and stainless and piston rings from big diesels motors for cast iron welding and I will cut into strips aluminum motor bike covers when needed for welding aluminum. I use what I can find here these are my welding rods. I really enjoy watching your videos......
