  • Hey guys, One of the things I like most about my line of work is that there are never two days that are the same. Every job presents new challenges even though they may be something you have done before. That's the fun part. Never boring. Plus, a little windshield time is nice now and then. Sit back, enjoy the video, and hopefully you pick up a pointer or two. Thanks for the support.

    No apologies necessary, your videos are always top notch and your torch cutting is the smoothest and fastest that I have ever seen. The weld that you made on the 2nd truck to cover up 2 holes really looked good once you were finished welding it. Good to see your son learning the business from Dad. I noticed that he has been working/learning from you on a lot of jobs lately and in my opinion, he could not have found a better teacher.

    Not really the joint design on that chute thing and it's very likely the engineer and welder at the factory did not care much about what happened several years down the road. Nice repairs as always my friend. Cheers

    We are so dry here in central Illinois, I think I'm in Texas.....
    You do a much better job with your filters while welding than anyone else I watch. It is fascinating to watch your rod technique.

    Best guess on the holes that showed up at 14:30 ish was an attempt to drill out the ends of the previous crack, followed by a less-than-ideal weld patch.
    Obviously a poorly engineered support member, since it showed up on two machines. Needs a plate sistered to it there to strengthen it.

    I hate to find that a structural beam that seemed solid turns to be a thin wall square tube. Most of the times it should have been designed with an IPN beam instead. Do you think that square tubes hold the same as an IPN beam with equal wall? 'Cos I think that square tubes are used only for aesthetical purposes, to pretend to be a solid piece of steel... but it's structural strength usually results to not be enough for what it was designed. It's interesting that way to strengthen that bent wall on the pressure point, by making a "rib" out of weld. It keeps amazing me how often we find design flaws from factory, and the owner just want the welder to put a "band-aid", and call it ready. The phrase "I did not enlist for this shit." keeps coming to my mind. 🤣

    • @jimurrata6785
      @jimurrata6785 2 года назад +1

      I think designing around box tube makes it much easier to cut and fabricate.
      (no coping into the beam and no need to add length in that piece to reach the web)
      A box also has much better torsional stiffness than an 'I' section of equal material cross section.

    At least this place was being proactive and getting their other rig fixed as well.
    It often amazes me how torn up some of the equipment you feature is.
    (Like excavator booms ripped completely in half!)
    If I had an employee that let something get that bad I would send them packing.
    In fact I would want to hear about it as soon as 'something felt loose' or the oiler noticed the paint cracked.
