  • Hey guys, I was looking over some of my older photos and videos on the computer and I found these old gems. These clips were from some work I did back in 2017. These clips have been reposted so many times its unbelievable. wish I had a Nickle for each time I've seen it replayed. either way, I hope you enjoy this short video. Kick back for a few minutes and let me know what you think. As always, Thank you in advance for your support.

    Like a hot knife through butter! Your torch skills are phenomenal!!!! Your travel speed and distance from tip to work piece are like a machine. After watching you cut like this, I put up my screens so no one sees my cuts!😉
    Thank you, ISAAC!

      I know what you mean, it takes a lot of skill and practice to do that freehand, especially in some of those akward positions where you cannot get comfortable.

    The cutting torch is commonly referred to as a "gas axe". In Isaac's hands it becomes a "gas scalpel". Simply amazing!

      @@michaelminers2612 yea that second cut I dont even think you could cut that thin with a saw i mean yea it decarbs and slags the surface but that was an even unburned out thin cut off. as good or better then some machines, especially when you have someone that dont use the machine as often and gets an ugly cut. and if there is a better worker with a torch I have yet to see them in my feed, and thats a thick chunk of metal got to keep it steady or it will not get an even cut very easy to go too fast

    Astonishing skills with a torch. That first cut, where the entry and exit cuts are straight and exactly in the same plane is amazing. Most people would struggle to get the entry cut straight - but to create an almost perfectly flat surface that long AND that wide is just next level. Amazing. Thanks for the videos. Stay safe out there.

    another awesome video Issac, back in the mid 80's i worked for CML Northern Blower here in Canada ,we built exhaust/fresh air units up to the capacity 1 million cubic feet of air a minute and for the pedestal base of the unit we used armour plate usually 2- 3" thick and all torch cut, using a guide, i could do a bit of the 2" thick and i sure learned how to be patient, to plan and take my time cutting, couldn't afford to make mistakes, i could never cut freehand like you do, that is an art all in its own, that steel looked smoother than a Sunday roast beef dinner when you were done 👍

  • @jimhenderson9512
    @jimhenderson9512 3 месяца назад +2

    A very nice job for sure,however if you score the line where you want to cut with a cut off disc,about one sixteenth of an inch the flame will want to follow the score. If you cut to the scrap side of the line you will have a nice smooth straight edge left on the good side, be able to cut with less pre-heat flame producing a nicer cut. This tip is more for your viewers who want to improve your game as there is absolutely nothing wrong with your technique.

    When I was a young man, I worked as a draftsman at a steel supplier drawing full scale patterns for torch cutting machine that could follow my drawing with an "electric eye" and cut out as many as 6-8 parts at a time. This was before CNC, laser cutters and water jets. Had to add an extra 1/8" all around for the kerf and for final machining. They could cut up to 10-12" thick steel plate if I remember correctly. I was always impressed with the fact that you could cut metal that thick with a torch. Some of my drawings were quite large as they were to be made into large paper making machinery.
