THE ARTFULL BADGER..
...
thanks to @karl casey @White Bat Audio for awesome free tracks. check out his stuff thanks for helping us amateur creators
apologies... story of my life.. some A-hole decided we needed a software update now my app is screwed and I can't get video to correct screen ratio. I detest updates. enough to quit RUclips.
been a long time since I have had a mess like this!!
when I cut the covers off the mess inside was crazy! total destruction!
then I had a close call scared the cxap out of me! it always happens right at the end of a big job!
lots and lots of mig welding, carbon air arc gouging strengthening up with lots of extra metal!

The holy trinity of welding and machining repair on you tube in no particular order, Allistairc123, IC weld, and Cutting Edge Enginiering. Thanks for showing what you guys do.
What we can say without doubt right now, is that @I C Weld and @Cutting Edge Engineering Australia are great too...
but nobody else on YT does what you do, right boys?
Praise Allistair!
Those metallurgy books are an incredible gift . The work the chap must have done to afford them is inspiring good video as usual 👍🏻
OMG!!! this was another AMAZING project. I recall you fixed the ram housing that goes on the end of this machine......that cuts the square items up.....that machine was wore out !!! .....Loved the way you over engineered it to make SURE it does not break again....something that the customer may or may not realize right away.
Nice to see you talk about how much us engineers think about stuff and how much is taken into consideration. Problem solving at its finest.
That’s some incredible craftsmanship as always. Love seeing the heavy welding and fabrication.
I also think it’s great that you wear good PPE- those Adflo systems are amazing, and too many people especially in the small shops don’t take their respiratory protection seriously. Pricey, but worth every penny to preserve your lungs.
Keep it up!
Great skills,! I have a few of those books, The Science and practice of Welding was the only textbook we used for City and Guilds. I still have mine circa 1963.
I miss that type of work, 30+ years in power stations, coal fired, it was hard work and dirty work, but at the end of the day/job, I took pride in what I had accomplished. Job Well Done, Spot On Repair, if you don't make it hell for stout, you would see it back. Done Once, Done Right.
that big ram justs twists those left hand plates like licorice sticks
Hell of a day when you catch fire at work! I'm glad it wasn't any serious harm, and I am glad you take the time to share your adventures with us!
the before and after weld quality is striking. glad you have the Lincoln welding procedure book, a real reference from people who know welding.
Seeing those weld holes on the plates reminded me of my friend's dad growing up, I had to laugh. You see, he worked for a saw mill as a welder/maintenance man for over 40 years. He had about 2 years to retirement when the owner's son took over the business and didn't want to carry on the family business, so he started forcing the old-timers into early retirement. My friend's dad was on that list, and they gave him 3 months to settle all his tasks before retirement. But he wasn't the type to get mad, instead he got even in the most evil way possible. Every maintenance he did, whether it was saws, forklifts, excavators, the kiln, etc. He would drill a hole and put a big ball bearing inside than weld it up so it would rattle around. Everyone knew what he was doing, and because they were in the same boat they didn't say a word. That young "bast**d as he called him" didn't notice ay all. After 3 months, the kid closed down the saw mill and went to sell all the equipment trying to make easy money...then all those ball bearings started to really do their magic. No one will buy equipment that had a scary pinging sound every time they move! He ended up selling all the equipment at rock bottom, and completely lost his ass on the deal. After the auction, my friend's dad go ahold of all the people that bought the equipment and let them know what he did...laughing the whole time! some of people actually paid him the price differences, he ended up getting about $45k total. He shared it with the other 5 guys from the saw mill, and went on a vacation with the rest.
Greatest revenge ever!!! Hope this made you smile.
What a decent guy and a genius as well , wished i,d met him
I really enjoy your stuff, the heavy welding, the tractors and the old equipment. Great stuff!
I hope you are paid very well for your work. This type of welding repair is the worst as far as being hot, dirty, and hard on the body. It is extremely hard work. Regards.
really impressive job you did on this. a lot more than welding skill, you have to understand the machine, engineering, safety and planning and taking it apart is one thing, but getting it back together is another. thanks for making this video.
When you do work at this level: you should be proud of it! Great vid.
Big hats off to Nick for passing on his father's book collection. I have acquired many books and tools with peoples names and initials inscribed on them and not knowing the background of the previous owner. I often wonder what those men did for work and what they built using them.
"I'm getting to old for this shit" LOL At 58 I find myself saying the same thing, but I keep at it! I don't do as much off the heavy stuff as frequently as I once did, my back cannot handle it for long. But man I sure enjoy repairing big machinery made of steel. Cheers
Thanks!.....even 2nd and 3rd time watching, this is wonderful......Thank You Alistair....Paul in Florida
Why do I enjoy these videos so much? No idea, but I do. Guess I just like watching experts doing things I would never attempt in a million years!
Brilliant loved watching thanks
Your skill is a national treasure! Men like you made this beautiful world wonderful for the rest of us.
another video treat
Thanks again for the insight into how to repair big problems
I find your attention to detail very inspiring!
Love that synthesizer music in the background
Indeed
That is an amazing amount of work, knowledge and creative attitude involved! You are doing a great job, and I wish you all the clear mind, fun, creativity, safety and all the best tools you can have!
In my experience with these type of machines, I was a superintendent in a very large recycling company in the US, this type of repairs need a complete desasambly of all components and completly replace all bent and damaged parts. you canot leve any because the fatige in the material. even the welfings are fatigged.
Go back with T1 and a bit thicker if you can find some. Try nit to use the carbon ark use an scarifier tip; carbon will leave impurities even after grinding. Make sure to use 110/11 weld rod so the welds do not guive out before anything else.
Great thought process to straighten and repair that bailer. I really liked the dogs and wedges to push the front plates in. brought me back to my steel mill helper days 50 years ago. To help the young guys you might explain the sizing and welding of the dogs and wedges, they look simple but I messed up a few.
You are a true craftsman friend.
30:40 "weld it to itself and use its own rams to straighten the damage" ... DAM Allister 👍 you are the OG of welding. Work smarter, not harder right ??
Look up " Laminar tearing" .
It happens when heavy welds are on plates and shrink induce tension stress on base metal which leads to cracks and failure.
On boilers welds and metal are annealed to relieve stress on welds and base metal normalising stresses.
Excellent work.
Your content is very much appreciated. I found your channel after I found Icweld and then CEE, and I reckon your content is right up there. You manage to convey just how hard this sort of work is, your physical effort, problem solving and pride in a job well done. Please don't let software glitches deter you from posting content.
Massive amount of work, another quality repair Allistair. I know exactly what you mean about stored energy, used to scare the crap out of me when I was a heavy plant fitter. Stuck in the office now, worst I can get is a paper cut. Great video, look forward to the next one.
Beautifully explained as usual, it’s not often we get to understand the thinking of a seasoned professional. Your experience is one thing, but the unravelling of the complex problems you face in your work and then being able to see you piece everything back together better than original is truly awe inspiring. Thank you so much for your videos, they are just next level. Much respect from Australia 🇦🇺
already now, so happy to see another long
allistairc123 video....cheers from Florida, USA....Paul
Mad scrambling for the water bottle always gets ya blood pumping. Good save, especially wearing all that gear and back ground noise.
You need a two thumbs up. Quite impressive.
Fantastic Skills and workmanship , thankyou for sharing
Nice Job love those hard jobs lots of work. Planing is the key and watching you explain and then do it keeps my head in the game. Again thank you for taking the time to film and edit add the music shows your skills.
Great video alister... would love to hear an interview with your dad on how all this heavy engineering started and how it became the business it is today..
Awesome works 😊👍 Great 👌👍
Wow, what a job! Feels so daunting at the start, seeing the state of the broken machine. I love the process of how you deconstructed it and knew exactly what the cause of failure was, and how to build it back to prevent that happening again. Awesome work!
I've got a bunch of channels but this is one when it's a shop video I'm watching from start to finish no matter how long. Love the work you do 👍👊
Epic task completed , super impressive.
Wow that was a big job Allistair lots of welding awesome work 💪💪👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
Lovely old Press Brake there! Great bit of kit.
Superb camera work, especially on the welds! I enjoy these heavy machine repairs/rebuilds.
Just an OUTSTANDING video. I love the long length videos showing details of the thinking process of how you access what steps are needed to proceed. Very thoughtful and time consuming setting up your video shots and explaining to us dummies how this works, you are a GENIUS. Keep up the fantastic work !!!!!
Wow nice work mate
The machine which marries engine blocks to the back axles.... ⬇⤵⤴➡↗
Great video , enjoyed watching as usual 👍
Cheers Barry!
Love your work ethic. Watching from 🇨🇦
Most enjoyable. Better overkill than underkill. Amazing bit of work you did there. Andy Australia
That is a hell of a repair .
Love the soundtrack too !
As always : thank you for sharing .
Great video! Thanks from 🇨🇦
That was an amazing job you did on that bailer awesom. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I really enjoyed the breaking up and rebuilding and since I have never done welding I think it leads to the drama.
When I saw the damage I said "Ooof".
Those fires can happen quickly and cause untold damage and you were lucky to spot it.
It must be great having the plasma guy but what would be most useful would be to have a grinder boy to do all of the dreaded angle grinding.
Thanks for sharing that with us!
One of RUclips's best channels for heavy engineering weld repairs. Another epic repair and video!
Awesome job Alistair.. ✅👍
That's some nice work... Thanks for sharing !
Absolutely love these longer videos. Love seeing the bigger projects play out like this. And those books are an amazing gift. Well done again, please keep them coming bro. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yeah, comes with the territory with equipment but your job was a good example of workmanship.
that is one hell of a proffesional neat job your sklls are a dying trade there are very few people left who can or want to do hard muckey physical work like this in this day and age theres one thing you will always be in work well done
A true craftsmen!
I was just so impressed at the understanding you have for these huge machines. Total engineering and not a robot in sight 👍🏻
Some job mate. Fair play. I know what u mean about enjoying the challenge of a big job that keeps escalating. Can't beat a fire whilst welding to get the old blood pumping luckily you caught it early. Feel your frustration on the torche bad enough when u break your gear even worse when u can see how it could have been avoided. Really enjoyed watching the project great video👍
Top job Alistair! You really had to chase down the hidden faults in this job and then back your way out of the job reinforcing it as you exit. Thanks again for sharing with us your thought process and the things you are keeping an eye on! Granted that 97% of your viewers will never have to attempt to repair anything like that machine, but it all helps to spread knowledge of the problem solving steps involved.
Looking forward to seeing your next video of whatever job comes in your workshop.
Mark from Melbourne Australia
Thanks Mark good to see u again cheers for support
@@allistairc123 Have you seen the video clip of my PM trying to weld and ending up looking at the welding flash?
Amazing Welder. My favorite channel. Your reputation is high Quality Welder👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
Fantastic job sir. Nice tribute young man and his books for building a lifetime career.
Brilliant job.
21:11 tell that to my dad. He loves to complain, your working to slow! Nobody’s ever gonna hire you. Yet he calls me every time he fucks something up or can’t figure it out. He’s all about speed and then having to fix it after the fact. He doesn’t understand that taking a minute that think can save you several later.
I love your long videos like this, great job man
great video awesome work too !!! i love the heavy plate used to support the stress
Great work, mate … I loved my life welding,,, from narrow boats,, to gates, to stove’s.. to tables.. to things of beauty… but nothing over 12mill.. plate.. loved stick.. but Tig. & mig.. save so much time. And controllable welding gives great results.
I enjoy what you do great job
Quality just can’t get enough 👍
NYC ironworker here. Love the content keep burnin man
Our company does that work every day Nothing easy about it, It beats your body and tools the death Stay safe keep up the good work, God-bless
Pre load tension is the word your looking for !!! Like the dudes welding and cutting big water or gas pipes and they fling back into there head and poteionally be a fatality with that store energy !!!!
Love your work to mate !!!!
Respect! This isnt my industry but I love watching your videos. Never gets old. Thank you sir 👍
Love the music in these
I have to call you the welding Doctor!LOL Man! you're good.
very enjoyable....thank you so much.....Paul
Hi folks , Thank you for taking us along with you on a great project true craftsman at work fantastic
Love your skill. Thanks.❤️🎥👍🦘🇦🇺
14:06 best music for this work 👍😁
Very nice, good work, big like!
Heres something you might find interesting, I grew up 2 miles from the man that invented the arc air gouging machine! His name was Myron Stepath, he was quite a character .
You impressed me... I think if I was faced with that repair, I think my first thought would be to scrap it, but you resurrected it... good on ya.
Statics, dynamics and physics. I like the way you think.
My boys and I watch every video ....love all that you do buddy!!! My kids love the model reviews ....so do I
Thanks for support bud
Great job ...
That's some job!👍
When you first moved the upper door and the hinge moved the first thing I thought that maybe the hinge pin was broken as well . I give you a great deal of credit on dismantling and I would say you needed to re- engineer all of it to add strength that the builders never designed into it properly. Monumental task . And thanks for taking time to record this endeavour as well because it gives us some insight on how such repairs are looked at and dealt with as you repair . Welding is just part of your skills you also take into consideration of why it failed and what it will take to keep it from failing again and that is a skill in it self . 👍
Yet again a fantastic video great work
Scary Mary time when a recommended video comes in and the content mentions a place where I worked in the 80's as a rigger at Springfields Nuclear Fuels for a few years, 15 minute drive away! Always fancied heavy engineering as a career but ended up in building maintenance, hotel industry on the Fylde Coast in UK an area near the infamous Blackpool Tower to get your bearings. Retired @ 60 and took local evening classes to learn to weld for Hobbby work, making bits off garden 'art' using scrap car parts from engines/gearboxes etc., but mainly to rebuild a 40 yr old car, I think my wire and amp setting might be a smite lower getting the 'sizzling bacon' sound right to put a new wing on my 1980 Mini!! New sub, nice video blend off content, action, commentary, music.. Cheers from Lytham, Lancashire, UK... 🔧🔩🔨☺👍
