- Hey guys, How many of you have struggled with the same problem? You drag something off the back of your trailer and something catches the back edge and does this! No fun!.
Well, Kick back and see how I fixed this problem.
Thanks for your support.

Man, I gotta say I respect the way you “take things apart” you use just enough of whatever to get things separated and no more. Arc gouging down to that M-12 saw. Right amount of force for each cut.
That is a sign of experience and wisdom. Pay attention people this guy is the real deal!
Isaac. Showing your welds before grinding and painting is a testament to your skill and confidence. No instagram bullshit welds on this channel.
Eres chingon!
Nothing fancy here. Just plain Ole Work. 😉😁👍
@ICWeld Great job. The strongest welds ain't always the prettiest.
My welds aren't always the best looking, but knock on wood, in 30 years of hobby welding I'm probably above 95% of my welds not breaking.
I prefer strong welds over instagram pics
😊👍😎
I keep full ( 4 x 8 ) sheets of plywood for working on rough or gravel areas...even if grass it makes it easier to keep track of parts/tools ..i also have foam pads i lay on...getting too old for hard surfaces...also helps when ground is wet or snow ( that weird white material we get farther North of You !! 😉

Plywood sheets come in handy when working in Design Technology classrooms with rubber floors and you have to cut and reweld workbench frames. Ask me how I know? 😂 I had that as one of my jobs at work over the Christmas school holidays. Turned a curved bench into a straight one! Benchtop was 32 mm particleboard with 3 mm steel glued on top. Bought the Milwaukee 18v cordless metal saw and made up a straight edge for the full length of the bench. The cut then became the easiest part of the job. The saw also came in handy for breaking down the subframe sections to shorten and rework them.

15:50: "Straight enough to me". Meanwhile, we're looking at it through a fish-eye lens, not straight at all! LoL. Great job as always!
30 minute video Great way to start Friday! Thanks Isaac!!
Fun to see a good, straightforward repair! This is the kind most folks could tackle with relatively basic tools, and it's fun to see it carried out by a professional. :)
I had the chain hook on my excavator shift between planks and snagged that board edge guard, 2x2 angle vs excavator wasn't much of a match for the 0.01 seconds I saw what was going on, ripped it clean off the trailer. Installation took a little longer than removal
Well ya gotta say one thing it's the "Woops" in life that keep you busy😁Looks like it never happened. Thanks for the video I.C.😉
The whole repair is great and the way you laid out the light holes and cut them is easier than having the pattern for the light. Your skills with the plasma cutter or torch make it look easier than it is!
I ran into an "abrasive's" manufacturer years ago that was shutting down. They were clearing the place out and the 2 guys still working there sold me a boatload of discs! Zip cut & grinding discs alone would fill a bathtub.....plus another tub full of 9" & chop saw size stuff. I am easy on my abrasives so I figured I had at least 2 lifetimes worth at hand.....all for 60 bucks! NEVER would I run out, nor have to buy any!!! Anyways, a long story short...the damn things had gone up in price considerably since my last purchase.
I bet you were in for a real case of sticker shock when compared with the previous large purchase. 😢

Fabulous repair Isaac, it was more work than it looked, bet the customer will be very pleased with that 👍
Such an artist! No wasted effort, no bravado, just great solid work. Thank you for sharing.
👍
I always tell my friends M12 tools are under rated when using them commercially. I use the same sawzall 😅
Me too, and my battery pops out just like that too!!
Thank you Isaac . If this happens to my little trailer I will weld on a roller.😊
I see the Superintendent 🐕 is inspecting the job 👏🙌🏼. He works metal like a potter works clay, doesn’t he?
Nice job 👍
You can weld on my wheel barrel anytime 😂
From the sound of it, IC's ball peen hammer has the same motor as his needle scaler.
This is a fine example of what tools it takes. Lot of effort to deconstruct and repair that corner.
Slick method recessing the ends!
Wood being expensive these days makes prolonging its life a wise move. I periodically apply waste oil to mine which soaks it up like a sponge adding years to deck life.
You free handed for the lights. AWESOME!
I don't weld full time but God do i want an ironworker in my shop. Just waiting to find one for sale around $50 bucks lol
Big Tex has a great video on you tube how they paint there new built trailers.
Pretty good with that hammer and chisel. Then busts out the grinder in true 'me' fashion. love it. 🤣
Man I was impressed with with your wood working skills with that hammer and chisel. You thinking about hanging up the torch and grinder???? Becoming a wood worker??? Jk. Great job as always you truly have a gift. Keep up the good work
If that trailer is primarily used for transporting shipping containers the customer should have had you make modifications so it's better suited for the job. Installing rollers on the back of the trailer would prevent damage like that. Edge guides or rollers also really help when loading containers. I have modified a few trailers for container hauling.
So you're a woodworker, too? :D You're a real renaissance man!
I love that Pihranha, what a machine...
That was a surprise procedure on de-constructing and constructing. I had a diff approach and it would have been more steps.
It's always a pleasure to watch you work, Isaac. I especially like the part where you invented the wood chisel.😉
Looks like a straight repair. Till you find a dozen hidden things. 🤨
Even painted the underside, where no one is going to look, the mark of true pro. Well done, Isaac!
Wow. You made cutting those light holes out look easy .👍
AWSOME job. You always make it look easy. But you do top quality work
Who knew it was a woodworking channel too😂😉
I always enjoy watching your work. Thank you very much.
Good as new if not better, nice job .
I have got to get me a plasma cutter, thats a useful bit of kit.
Another work of excellence out the door!
Probably looking a lot worse than it actually is . Tear down looks like a lot of bits to cut an grind to reveal a simple repair . Quicker and easier to fabricate the rear plate that try to straighten that top edge back , way too stretched . A nice half hour video for us but i guess an afternoon's work for you . Really liking that press brake very delicately operated on the straightening of the back piece . Thanks for bringing us along as usual great video thanks
Lol something similar happened to me letting a contractor borrow my aluminum trailer to transport a forklift. When rolling it on and off it bent the f outta the 2 alum ramps. Made him hire a certified welder to repair it instead of replacing
You're really good at what you do I love watching your work I wished I lived close to you I'd come help you just for fun and to learn
Me too..
Looks slick as always. That piranha made that job a lot easier. Great tool for the fab shop. Stitch welds are the best looking welds on that 10ga flat, but I thought you would run continuous up or downhill on the stake pocket for more penetration. I always enjoy watching.
BFH metal working hammer, every shop needs one! Nice work as always!
Man I HATE battery operated power tools. I much prefer an extension cord and toting a small Honda generator around if necessary. Unlimited power rules! You’re also the expert as I’m NOT, but I’m surprised you didn’t plasma cut many off those angles and such. I understand not using an oxy torch due to the plastic lights and the wood deck, but man you have some serious patience with using an angle grinder and a cut off wheel for all that cutting. Respect!
Yep, I peeled that piece of angle pulling large bales of alfalfa off my trailer. So bought another piece of angle a pinch larger and thicker, then used a router so I could recess the wood and have the top of the angle to the same top level at the board…….works fine and cured that problem
Thanks again Isaac ,can't wait for the next one .
Isaac...... using a sawzall & a grinder cutting disc-? BLASPHEMY!! 😂😂 Where's the torch & arc gouging-
Nice repair!
Wonder if it's anything to do with all the dry-rotted wood planks?
"Can't get any better than that"
as a flatbed truck driver it looks good. I tell drivers when the rub rail gets ripped up get it fixed with a quality welder.
I have trailers dropped off all the time in my driveway to be repaired, and my neighbor asked one of my clients the other day why he brings it to me. And his response was because I don't mind paying a little more to get it done right the first time. I've seen more work these days done by people who don't take pride in their work and are just looking for a quick buck. Makes me sick.
Send your buddies to my shop lol we do quality work on semi trailers in the fresno and tulare counties of California
@@raulrubio2862 🤣 I'm in Ventura county.
That’s the typical damage. And it’s so easy to cut the boards down to have the angle iron flush.
Dammit boy..... always an outstanding job.... A'HO... keep well,den up
Ah yes, another touch of class. Like yer break.
Back in 60s worked for a shop, the man built his break from a 36" X 72" X 1" piece plate, I beam n angle iron & two hyd cyls run by a small trk hoist piston pump.
Thanks for sharing... 👍🇺🇸
Hey Isaac, another great repair!:) I'm rebuilding the support frame for my F350 dump body. The original frame railed and the front supports for the rams failed and crushed the back of the cab. Yikes! Someone attempted a repair but not a very good job. A little frame straightening, a lot of body work and reconstruction of the support frame. Lots of fun! Thanks for all the great tips!😊
ouch. sounds like a project!!!😳😳😁👍
Your sped up chisel sounds like an air hammer! What a machine!
I was going to say the same thing.
Play it at 2X the speed…. Sounds like an A-10 Warthog.
I thought it was a woodpecker!
Surprised to see a cut-off wheel and a Sawzall since normally you can cut the steel out with a torch and leave the paint. Awesome job as usual.
I think Isaac wanted a clean square cut and the cut off wheel can do that. Especially in Isaac's hands.
@BlackPill-pu4vi I didn't mean it seriously. Had you read my whole statement, you'd see that I was saying how skilled the man is.
@@donmunro144 Fair enough.
I like when a plan comes together.
Be safe out there Isaac!

nice repair, you do great work like your videos it helps when you explain them thanks. Kip H.
Isaac, Great job on the repair. After the paint went on it looked like nothing had happened to it.
btw, the grey beard looks great. Showing off your wisdom as always.
It was waiting to happen with the lip there, really the deck wants to be a bit proud.
Anyways design oversights like that make work for guys like you.
Lovely patch job.
Like it never even happened good job Issac!
Nice work , thx for sharing ,always learning from your videos ,safe travels bud
I know nothing about welding, but I enjoy your channel a lot. That was pretty impressive man. Have a good day and stay safe.
Nice job fixing the result of a design flaw in the trailer!
Using the angle grinder for woodworking made my day. It worked, of course, but that was a first for me. :-) Love the video, keep up the great work!
Good stuff. As always.
Wow, what an amazing job. Awesome work, you inspire me to do stuff like that, you do great work and I'm always trying to do things like that. Keep up the great work.
24 👍's up IC WELD thank you for sharing 😅
Yep, turned out really good. Nice job. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Always great work! I always look forward to the next video! Thanks for sharing your talents
Didn't know we were going to have a wood working session today! Multi-talented! Got another use for a coal chisel as well! 😄😄🥰
*I C Weld* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
The right rear corner of that trailer is now the strongest part of the trailer.
Thanks Isaac, I really enjoy your videos. To me you are too welding as Bob Ross is to painting.
Another job well done Issac. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
Yes!
Better than when Bigtex made the trailer. 😊
Really like you work and honest candour. My daughter is a mill
right and a welder. good stuff.
If you were teaching a welding course I would come down from 🇨🇦hey lol! You are gifted my friend
Dood, Great Example of "Just Enough" Press Break ... I was amazed you straightened it (the bar with the u and Cilinder) out in one go and no rebends (Bend it back)
EPIC repair!!! Thanks Isaac!
Could you do a video on like different weld settings for different thicknesses or metal and wire? Would be interesting to see how you set up a welder, your MIG always sounds and looks soo good.
You are a weld master sir. Great job
very nice repair, thanks for the lesson,
Thank you for another great video. It is a joy to watch a master craftsmen practicing his art.
Happy to see that you like that pit mat! Thx for tge video
I have to cut out some pieces for that type of oval lights on my trailer. I’ll be using the method of layout, as well as, cutting used here. Thanks for your invaluable knowledge you share with us less knowledgeable, and receptive viewers.
Nice video on trailer repair! You've been doing a few trailers lately? A couple more videos and we'll know how to build a trailer!
Hi Isaac, that was a great repair job, and I'm so glad you showed it being painted at the end - it always makes things look more finished.
Nicely done! I like stacking dimes for vertical welds too, done right there won't be any metallurgic shenanigans going on.
I have been following issac for a long time and ive never seen this much grinding in a video, and ive never seen a cut off wheel. Awesome repair though, ive picked up more little tips and tricks from you than anyone on youtube
You know,,...Youre right! I dont use too many grinding wheels or cut off wheels.😁😁😄
Amazing what a little paint can do😂😂😂. Great job!! Good as new
Rookie mistakes keep welders and fabricators fed.gotta love it!
Not as heavy a job as we usually expect, but very complex and interesting. Plus, learned a trick or two. Great job as always, enjoyed watching.
Top notch as always!!
Thank you for your Videos!!
I’ve had that little M12 fuel Hackzall since it was released like 9 years ago. It’s a nice ergonomic little saw but I really only ever use it for thin metal conduit or drywall. It definitely doesn’t have a ton of grunt for heavier metal. When I cut strut I usually use my 18V metal cutting circ saw.
The key to that little hackzall is big batteries and fresh blades (Lenox Golds best I’ve found for my use case). The saw needs all the help it can get since it’s 12V. Still waiting on a Gen 2 and maybe some pouch cell batteries.
Thanks for the info!
ALWAYS NICE WORK !!!!!!
Another fine repair
Neat, efficient and well done.
Awesome work! It sure is nice to see someone run hard wire uphill for a change. Thanks for sharing.
Another great job
Very nice work!!
