I have watched my share of lackluster welding videos. This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time, No bragging ,or swearing, just quiet competence . Quite refreshing
Wasn't expecting the round bar, but works for the job! Always learn a little bit from each of your videos. I'm not a welder by trade, but out of high school I was taught how to stick weld in about 10 mins. by the mechanic I was apprenticing for at a local Ford dealer. He put me to work building angle iron storage racks for the parts department. 58 years later I still can repair and build almost anything I need! I should have went to school and learned the trade! The mechanic I was apprenticing for would take on any job so I learned a lot in a short time before Uncle Sam called and changed my life instantly.
What is better than watching trial and error? The person willing to put themselves out there, knowing they will hear all kinds of slack for their methods but still doing it because they are confident enough to not care. And not just this video but all your videos. Bravo Sir!
When you welded that short arm onto that bit... I was like “he’s never gonna get it out that way”. Yeah... you proved me wrong in a hurry. You never cease to amaze me. You’re a talented individual and I hope more and more people get the opportunity to learn from you. Thanks for sharing all this amazing stuff with us. 🙏
Naw, sorry, you forgot some steps. 1. Use a wrench. 2. Spray with WD-40. 2. Spray with PB Blaster and go get a tall drink to wait awhile. 2. Use a bigger pipe wrench. 3. Use a big cheater pipe. 4. Hit with hammer. 5. Hit with sledge hammer. 6. Get the torch out.
I gotta say it again...Issac..you make hard welding look easy. Welding is the most relaxing thing to me...I dunno why but the sound of a smooth arc is just so soothing....
Ended up being an easy fix, not always the case. You used sound logic, began with the basics and it worked very nicely. They sent it to the right place. Experience and great knowledge of materials paid off for you and the customer. Very well done! Nick, North West Farmer
Thank you again and again for sharing your expertise and professionalism with us. Your quiet, secure determination to get the job done is very stimulating and an example for us all.
the heat is definitely a cool trick, looking at the initial hitting though, so much energy is lost in the bounce of the vice, you want to support the outer hex right at the end you're trying to free, as well as locking it from rotating using the square at the other end, if you wanted to give it the best chance, flat on the floor, make up a cheater bar to lay flat on the floor out from the square drive then with something actually supporting under the square box you welded on, when you hit it it'll be a far more instantaneous impact and as much of the force as possible will be rotating rather than bouncing
Actually sadly he cut off the long weighted shaft. Could have put the housing into the large vise as he had done dropped a long shaft end down to the ground/floor with a block of wood between the floor and the shaft to stop the bouncing. Then using those welding skills used put a collar on the shaft the same as he had done. Myself I would have used a pipe-wrench for the rotation without welding on shaft first. The heat was the answer especially when you could see the bin hole and knew which way to rotated shaft. Expect the shaft length would have still be the same and the housing free of the shaft.
Excellent repair work. nice to watch experienced skill craftsmen at work. this is the 2nd video I've watched this week where thick solid steel was welded back together. 1st guy cut his "wedged angle at abt 25 deg with Plasma cutter and mentioned he could have done it with a torch. and here we see that example being proved out. both cases solid welds thru-out. Amaturs like me would have tried to get away with less depth of weld and surely it would have failed. Nice to see "real" professionals doing it correctly Thanks for reminding us armatures how to do it right and better yet for showing us and sharing.
AvE is fine when he sticks to subjects that he has actual knowledge about as opposed to what he Gaargle's whilst he guzzles because when he over imbibes in the "Cups of Knowledge" he either sets his soap box atop a barn sized pile of bovine and equine manure climbs and proceeds to preach with the zeal and ferocity of a holly rolling snake handling preacher or tries to become the illegitimate love child of Mushroom farmer, who had a devil's three way with Lenny Bruce and Tim the Tool-Man.
@@gullreefclub sounds like someone also doesn't like AvE's opinions. Spend a decade in the field you'll learn more than any engineer who works for said industry
A lost art. You sir, are the epitome of true craftmanship in metalworks. What a joy to watch. On a lighter note, you must have hands of " steel" with all the metal shavings. Bless you.
It’s always amazing to me how much heat helps when applied in the right spot. You wouldn’t think metal would expand with how hard it is, but yet it does and it expands just enough to get something unstuck or to get a bolt out/nut off. I love your videos and your amazingly precise torch work! Keep up the good work!!
Man you make Welding look so easy. Is like you see the problem and instantly work out the solution in your head and bam its fixed. Love your videos keep making them and posting them.
I always like to learn new things/tricks and you come threw time after time. I often tell the new guys on the jobs dont think you know it all, you may find out youve been wrong. Even after 30yrs, I find new things that work better. Thanks on the lesson ,I look forward to seeing whats next. Hood down lights on.
I have zero experience in anything you do. I have been around long enough to know that if someone makes their work look as easy as you make it look, it's not easy at all. Love watching what is clearly high level skill!👊
The best channel around. I learn so much just from watching you do your thing. I’m 2 years in on my journey keep it going man ! Thank you for honest good content.
I'm glad I clicked to watch your video. I took metal shop throughout Jr. and Sr. high school. I loved it tremendously. Nice video, nice music and I am still fascinated by horizontal steel band saws, they just flow through steel effortlessly...
Here in the UK with housing regulations a lot of mini piing rigs are used. They have a 1 5/8 hex drive but the crews use 2" hex drive cutting heads, so I machine the 2" male drives down to 1 5/8" as a convertor. Surprised they never asked you to fill in the slot which was a hole back to a hole. Love the Miller set
Heating an OD (tube, pipe, nut, bushing, ect), increases the ID just enough to help break loose tricky extractions..It's a great go-to technique! Nice work!
Man when I saw that thumbnail first thing that popped into my mind is that's gotta be one of those "why in the world did I accept this job?" moments but it turned out being really simple. The fact that it was undersized and not just a tight fit that gauled sideways helped but still. Took you probably 30-45 min and that's it. Props bud
You make it look so easy. Even though you didn't show the setup, I got it. I would have thought that the extraction wouldn't have been so easy but glad that it was. Great job!!
So enjoyable watching these types of repairs. It gives us plenty to learn and consider when approaching similar work on our own. Love seeing the Ellis bandsaw and Wilton vice in action. Your shop is provisioned generously with awesome tools and materials. Once again, thanks for showing what professionalism is. I liked your analysis where you saw the beat marks, and used that to formulate an alternative approach. Brilliant attention to these important details, and thank you for sharing your keen insights.
Ellis makes excellent saws. I have one and stumbled across an easy way to set the back gauge when cutting 45’s on both ends: Rotate saw into 90 degrees, measure from blade and Set back gauge to OD or long pt to long point, then rotate to 45 (with material clamp on right) cut end of stock to 45 then rotate stock and slide down to stop and cut. I don’t know why Ellis does not tell you this but it saves a lot of time.
Beautiful work as usual. Nice to have a repair where you can stand up on the job, work around on the repair inside out of the weather and not having to crawl around in the caliche gravel.
After watching the last two videos on that bucket modification, I started practicing tips from here at work. Amazing how a little preheat can result in such a clean torch cut.
When this happens to our auger machines we reverse the direction on the machine and then cut out the broken pin on both sides of the box and then slip the hex out , this happens to us because of to much torque which boils down to human error.
Your the kind of guy that would go after jaws with a row boat and a plastic fork and have a smile on your face and I can do this attitude! Love your videos.
Nice job! Bit of thinking goes a long way. I like these videos , I am a maintenance welder at a plant . We mostly weld pipe and don’t get a whole lot of stuff like this where you actually have to use your brain to figure stuff out. The odd time we do jobs like you but few and far between.
I am an artist by trade and a teacher by profession. But I really wish I had spent more time learning how to work with metal. Milling, torch cutting and welding are so incredibly useful. I think that will be my next educational journey, learning metal working.
Good afternoon. We all really appreciate you videoing all the different jobs you do. It makes it all interesting. Your patience is remarkable. Thank you. Ed from chicago. Retired plumber.
Wow! That was a pretty amazing fix! Here I was thinking that it would need gouged out or turned out on a lathe and all that it took was a little heat. Nice job.
Sure I've seen all of your videos at least once. I do the same work every day. Its nice to watch someone else who gives a shit about the customer and the quality of their work! I am an I.C. junkie!

Your sense of humor and skill brings so much enjoyment.
The popping noise when heating it up is the sweet sound of success. Nice work
Yeah, that's either a really good sound, or a really bad one! A good one this time.

I thought he was doing to dip the hex piece in liquid nitrogen before heating the other end.
@@AlbertScoot you watch too much youtube "science" channels
@@AlbertScoot, CEE uses LN2 a lot.
I just love the choice of music you have. That western guitar is so emotionally gratifying. It goes right along with what you're doing. 😊
A good repairman, follows the three step process
1, hit it with a hammer
2, hit it harder
3,get the torch out
The top notch ones spray it with WD40 first, THEN hit it with a hammer
This is how i fix my electronics =D
The heat and beat is undefeated
Naw, sorry, you forgot some steps.
1. Use a wrench.
2. Spray with WD-40.
2. Spray with PB Blaster and go get a tall drink to wait awhile.

And that is why they brought it to you.
Well done on the repair.
Finally a welding channel showing the work of a true skilled professional. Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Absolute golden material. Teaching a vital lesson that can be applied to so many problems and situations!!! Heat=expansion
Sheesh....you're like Yoda with that cutting torch. Those bevels looked as good as a mill would do. Well done.
having worked in a shop where we did repairs on farm equipment for 20 years , it's a pleasure to watch you work. You are really good!

As 1 welder to another,Love your content man.Its easy to recognize a well balanced and skilled tradesman .keep sharing your craft,it's appreciated.
I appreciate that!
You don't get paid because it's easy. You get paid because you know how to make it easy.
10 dollars to hit with a hammer, 100 dollars to know how to hit it with a hammer, 1000 dollars to know where to hit with a hammer.
Thank you again and again for sharing your expertise and professionalism with us. Your quiet, secure determination to get the job done is very stimulating and an example for us all.
Knowing where and when to apply the heat takes knowledge, skill and experience. Anybody could have hit it. Much respect to a clever guy

You're methods take entirely way too long and make little sense. A vice and heat before any welded on box is exactly what you should do.

You're a surgeon with that torch. Always impressive, sir!
placing a reasonable sized steel bar under the end will stop all that loss of energy .... ie the bounce !
Did he get it?
True holding the piece more rigidly would have stopped the energy loss from the impact, but solution that worked was simple enough anyway.
