      There are multiple ways to do an equipment repair job right but he is showing his solutions and they also work well. That is the magic with metal fabrication. The example of channels are Snowball Engineering and On Fire Welding.
      IC Weld is still my favorite.

    Isaac, I've been watching your videos for a couple years now. I don't weld or fabricate for a living, I just tinker with stuff. Your comment about leaving that bit of uncut meat when making the second pass was exactly what I was wondering how that metal doesn't end up getting bowed. You're a master of your craft and your viewers and myself appreciate you and your content.
    Great job and keep it up 😊.

    A simple little job and video yes but two little gems of tips. 1. Leave a tab when cutting a strip of steel to avoid the piece bowing/bending away as you cut. 2. Rather than mark every angle to be nipped off, chalk line the table of the notcher to aid repeating the angles. Always something to learn from your videos young man. Top stuff as usual!

    Isaac, the nice thing about your videos are that they are "real world" non-classroom jobs. Even though this initially looked to be a cut and dry job the worn/thin metal with crud thrown in brought out the masters touch to get it done right. It's all the little tricks (eg leaving the tab on the plate cut) you've learned that make this channel gold.

    @TalRohan 4 месяца назад +3

    I deal with a lot of trapped dirt like that, The only thing you can do sometimes is do your best horrible weld to get it sealed then clean it up grind off any lumps and then put a nice pass over the top. Occasionally if its really horrible I will patch it over after Ive welded with a 3/8ths band so that the base of the weld practically meets in the middle. Thats shown the longest repair life for seperation lines that I have done anyway.
    I like these little fix up jobs (I like the banana jobs too) they take some changes in approach to welding and some fabrication that is interesting to watch and learn from.

    @opendstudio7141 4 месяца назад +3

    Thank you for providing interesting content and educating your audience.
    It’s always a bit surprising to notice that welding and cutting is such an audible driven experience and how much sensory feedback you get from hearing. You can hear when a torch tip needs to be touched up. I’d bet that someone who cuts frequently can even hear the differences in torch tips and regulator settings.

    • @ICWeld
      @ICWeld  4 месяца назад +4

      Yes indeed. You can see and hear small differences in the torch flame and even in the welding arc puddle. Back when I used to stick weld everyday, You can tell the difference between 1-2 amps.

    All of that is nice welding, as usual, but I figure the bit right at 24:58 is some of the most important part of being a good welder. ("Be nice if I could put a diagonal piece, but it's really not going to bend, so why do all that extra work?") There's a saying in my field that computer program lines that don't exist don't don't have bugs in them, and it's the same idea.
    Thanks for showing us the small project as well as the big ones. Learned several things from this one.

    34:25 So dirty I had to check which video platform I'm on 😅 Very good for what you were given, and worlds better than how it came into the shop! You did thoughtful work getting what matters back to top shape, a nice true edge and covered wear lines. Looks like the customer did well with this part. No sure they'll put enough hours on it to wear through what's left of the front of the blade, but your hard edge will outlast that and it's economical to put a simple skin on it. Plus, like this job, it helps keep the friendly local welder in business =)

    Hello Issac, Good to see you are not loafing around. Me neither, I just don't put in as many hours as I used too. That translates into everything takes longer, so I'm backed up with all of my pet projects. I have adopted your "spot welding" technique to bridge thin areas and gaps. It has saved me a bunch of problems. Thank Ya Big Daddy.!!!!!! 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
    Your approach as always, portrays that the simple approach still works!!!!!! Go Get Em Isaac.
    You are still using gas to cut. Does that mean plasma isn't less expensive? Acetylene went crazy here and I gave up my tanks.
