  • Hey guys, If you have seen some of my previous videos from the past you will notice I do a lot of work on Drill rigs and excavator booms. While they may all seem like the same type of work, they all present different challenges. Hang around and see what we're up to, and see my helper get his first taste of Arc Gouging. Thank you for the support in advance and I appreciate your comments. I try and read each and every one of them. So kick back on your lunchbreak or on the sofa and kill a little time with me. Thanks again.

    I have said it before, but I love seeing your son learning a trade. Tradesmen are going to be the doctors and lawyers pay wise in another decade or two. People that work with their hands is a dying profession all around, but still critical to society. Young people would be wise to learn a trade and your son has a head start with a great teacher.

      Couldn’t agree more. Everyone wants to be the guy in charge because that’s somehow higher up the rung. Sadly they fail to appreciate that like anything this requires a skill set. All those that take the time to have a skill set no matter what they do, and are good at what they do will always be I demand and be paid well for it. Hats off to all those like the ic weld guys who work at their skills and are great.
      Also love the videos. I watch and learn closely.

      Learning a trade, good..go to company..work for man.
      Learning business craft, great..run your own life. I know its harder. The kid must learn to read if a customer will pay or is a dirtbag, or a nuisance. The kid will learn there is no back up, nobody else will help you.

      A good solid tradesman who knows his stuff and is willing to share it, to teach the next generation of tradies is vital. Many tradespeople are not comfortable with passing on their knowledge for a variety of reasons, so it is vital that an apprentice is looked after by a tradesman who enjoys sharing the knowledge and skills required.

      As a 27 year electrician, it’s a good feeling when the apprentices squabble to get to work with me. One of the best feelings is when my former helpers test and break out into journeymen. I do my best to bring them back home alive everyday and to teach them as much as I can. The absolute best is when they shake my hand years later and thank me for helping them advance in their career. Thanks for taking us along, Isaac. Bless you and your family, Sir

    Tell your son with the carbon arc gouge one of the things to keep out of the base metal is to feed it into the weld your removing along the weld line not down into the metal. Its tricky because you have to feed it into 2 directions at once. He needs to practice on some scrap tell him to carve out the center without blowing through the plate. Thats is how I got onto it real quick.

Even if he doesn’t make a career with welding. It will always be part of him. And if he does make a career out of welding he will be good at it from learning from a master as yourself 👍

    Always enjoy watching your videos! I love it when you say "I'm afraid I'm going to screw it up" like that's going to happen! Thanks for sharing, I'm sooo jealous of your son learning from a master! Be safe, have fun!

    Glad you're training your son and happy he wants to learn from your talent. Looks like he's getting there.

    Great work, always like how you take the time to set up some sort of rest to brace against while you are burning rods.

    That's some nice bridgework on a vertical in a circle on that pin.
