- Hey guys, well, here is a nice small project for the day. Today we are repairing a quicktach Fork plate for a skidsteer. As you see in the video, the small brackets got bent out of shape and needed upgrading. Follow along as I use the HTP invertig 400 from @usaweld that my bud @ZILAwelds introduced me to. This is a nice unit that works great here in the shop. Kick back for a few moments and see if you pick up a few pointers here and there. Thanks for the follow.

Among the many impressive skills that you have, this video shows a new one: The fact that you knew that you had that fixture bar, and could find it when you needed it! When I need something like that and know I have it I can't find it, and when I do find them I don't need them and didn't remember I had them.
I agree with you, i have the same problem!!😆
@@jer1966 I have two or three of those special tools that I can't find, likely four the next time I need one. LOL
It can be just truly irrating & I’m trying to be polite
Better to be looking at it, than looking for it !😊
Organisation is the key. Since I set up my small 100 square foot shop, I can find pretty much anything I need if I have it.
Good tip never go backwards, I have never heard that before. You make it look so easy.
Isaac, you are not only a expert metal worker, your teaching abilities are through the roof! I am 64 years old and worked with metal for 48 years, and learn something new every time I watch you! Thanks!
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that
*I C Weld* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

I have the privilege of learning something almost every time You share Your knowledge with us Issac.
Thank You. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends.
You sir would be a great teacher at a welders trade school. A wealth of knowledge and talent. Thanks again for the videos you present.
Isaac once again thank you for passing your knowledge onto us in the RUclips world….. I always enjoy watching you as a little trick or a little gig or something on something that you’ll pull out of your sleeve or watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!!!!!!!!!!!that I have always enjoyed about you!!!!!!! like the jig for holding the top plate on so everything‘s aligned the correct way great call……once again Isaac thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us…… It’s always greatly appreciated take care of yourself Sam bacon your friend from the East Coast that’s right New England
Watching you air-arc and stick weld took me back to 1970 when I worked at Babcock/wiilcox in Canton, OH. Love the sounds and watching that puddle. Great video, superb work. Fancy machine,; we had huge Millers I forget the details on them at this point. I remember burning 50lbs of rod in a shift. It was fun...
I always put on my learning cap when I see a new video from Isaac because I know there will be a lot to learn. Thanks for all the info on arc gouging and the excellent views of stick welding. Thanks, Isaac and have a pleasant and peaceful weekend.
That 13 year old Chinese kid that welded that should watch your channel.🍻
Cut my teeth stick welding in a foundry 45 years ago, this reminded me how much I enjoyed it. Now I'm just an old man remembering the good old days.
I know how you feel. I have clocked up 40 years since I started my Apprenticeship in Carpentry back in 1984. Funny thing is that I can remember certain things from my Apprenticeship and some other jobs, but there are plenty of blank spaces in between.
Sixteen years in my current job as a Maintenance Carpenter for a long established Private School here in Melbourne, Australia. My son was a little boy when I started and now he is 19.

I can see the benefits of gouging over grinding. Having cut off pieces with a cut-off disk the time saved alone is worth it. Always willing to learn.
It’s 1/4 to midnight here I just got home from daughters graduation just in time to head back to work and Isaac drops a video of course I’m powering through to watch it before shift starts
Good night from Ouro Fino - MG, Brazil.🇧🇷
I appreciate everything you teach us, cause I know it’s coming from a professional
That HTP looks like a sweet machine! Great video as usual Isaac.
I’m so envious. If I could make even one of my welds look like yours I could die happy.
I know how you feel, I just started learning how to weld and I got the same feeling.
@@Android_WarriorPractice, Practice, Practice! Also try playing around with your settings so that you learn when things are going right or wrong. Remember how in this video, Isaac stopped welding and said that it was a little bit cold and dialed it up a few Amps? That comes from practice!
Also check out Jody at Welding Tips and Tricks for good basic instructional videos on all of the processes.

Thank you for that primer on setting up the arc gouging. Saw exactly what I always wanted to know. dave
Always a good day when an I C Weld video notification comes through. Great skills to watch and always something of value to learn! Top man!
Best thing about arc gouging is nobody comes around bothering ya when your doin it lol...
I wonder why? 😅
Thanks for the lesson. Especially about not going backwards!
Arc gauging explanation was great. I only recently worked out how that works having never done it. I previously assumed the pressurised air was sent down the electrode. Just spent all day reinforcing a horse box trailer ramp by welding in more 2 inch box sections to support the ramp. Used 2 different welders as wire ran out on the first one and also tried two different welding hoods. Practice is definitely the answer. Welding 3mm box is so much easier than welding rusty 1-2mm car body panels which I’ve mainly been working on. Great video content and keep it coming. Al U.K.
Thank you Isaac, best explanation I’ve seen on arc gouging. C ertainly learned a lot there.
Thank you Issac. I really like that welder machine😊
nice explanation on the lug and quick connect , that should help those who don't know about that . nice work
Good night from the West Coast 🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing, another great project with explanation and demonstration, i learn a lot , you are a great teacher 👍👍👍👍
It is a real pleasure to watch such steady skill.
Thanks for the video!!! I’m in trade school for welding right now and your videos give me a pretty good idea of what welding jobs look like.
Glad to hear it!
I learned to weld in 6th grade shop class and if I stuck with it I still wouldn’t be able to cut with a torch like you can, your an awesome welder and I like the videos.
Very well done. I used to do allot of arc gouging when I was a welder 50 years ago for the Southern Pacific Railroad. With a bit of practice you could do amazing things.
“Stick around!” Good one!!! lol
Didn’t anyone else get that?
Thanks for explaining how arc gouging works. I had a basic idea of the principle, but now I know exactly how it works.
Great video as always brother
Fine work. Thanks for the videos.
A lot of times, people set their amperage way too high for gouging. I watched an older video on this channel where you mentioned your perameters and details on running carbon rods. That helped me a lot, now I'm the go to arc gouger at the shop. Thank you.
I've been gouging since you introduced me to it. I would never go back to the grinder on anything but tiny welds. I can un-weld things twenty times faster than I can weld them. Ha!
Nice lil job, Isaac. I really like that welding machine.
Issac nice job on the explanation of carbon arc gouging and demonstration of the process
Man those welds are beautiful. They look like they were soldered. Nice!!
Love the arc gouger. I couldn't believe that you simply reached over and picked it off the area where it was welded with no sticking or anything. Very sweet tool. I often see weld after weld piled on top of the first bad one, usually making the problem worse. It's sure a timesaver when removing old welds. Amazing and clean. I learned a lot today. Thanks!
Nicely done as usual Issac, I have watched you do lots of Arc gouging here and have seen my share of it where i work in heavy steel, I work with our millwrights allot of the time to Machine things either by lathe, mill or CNC milling machine and have the chance to watch them Arc gouging and have to admit it is pretty cool and one of our guys is like a crazy artist with that thing, this new machine you just used in the video HTP worked really well , that is the cleanest Arc gouging i have ever seen, unreal a little tap with your hammer and off they came, i saw the reference point where the new plates had to go and you pull out that square tube tool you made and suddenly bob's your uncle prefect alignment, well in my 60's now and want to learn how to weld , just for personal use at home and have good teachers around me and start with something simple, and but a entry level welder, i can get a bit of a discount through the company i work for so i'll go that route and won't have warranty issues, great stuff 👍
Great lesson, Isaac. Especially the tip about not going backwards! Thank you for sharing!
Nice tutorial
thanks its great that your trying out HTP welders I have a invertig 221 for 3 years and love it !! 1/2 the price of blue and its great fixtures too
Because of your videos I bought a arc gouging set and used it at work too. Thank you a lot for your videos. A tip for the hobby welders here, don't get the 6mm rods but the 4mm ones. Because the 4mm electrodes are happy with 150 to 160 Amps, so you don't need big welder with 200 Amps. That makes it a little more portable setup.
Arc gouging saved me and my boss a ton of time and head aces.
Very nice Isaac! I was gonna try one of these til I saw the $8750.00 price tag. Been talking to Everlast on their 400 amp machine which is direct equivalent for less then half but also has MiG . Give ‘‘em a look. I bet Oleg would let you demo one. Have a great weekend
Thank you for taking the time to share your expert knowledge with people around the WORLD! 🙏
Thank you for this video, loved the spacer bar for the QA plates.
I really appreciated the arc gouging tutorial, Isaac. Text book work you demonstrated today. Thanks for sharing with us!
ElectroMagic Eraser! It is apparent that the auto darkening face shield is a real asset when doing this type of operation.
That was great. thank you. I have not used an arc gouge in over 35 years. Might need to pick up one to keep in the shop. Thanks again. I enjoy the content.
Great lesson Professor Isaac!
Seems like a nice unit to have in the shop. Can’t beat a big constant current power source. I recently bought a used miller syncrowave 350 when my inverter crapped out. It’s nice to have for arc gouging stick tig and voltage sensing wire feeder. But that thing is a hoss I like the small foot print of your htp hope it does well for you.
Nice little job that worked out all right. I have the same attachment but it's sits on the back of my tractor on the three-point hitch. It works really good. It's got a different hookup but good little attachment. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Ooh two video’s in one week 🎉
Great content! Great narrative and I always enjoy your videos! Take care and be safe...
Watching your videos is very aggravating! You make it look so easy and mend it so well. 🤠 Actually I enjoy your videos immensely.
Thanks a lot for the explainations about air pressure with this équipement : I never understood how it's woks (with différents positions of the carbone stick). Greetings from France
love your work
I enjoy these kinds of videos since I have fabricated 3 of my own quick attach mounts along with a grapple. Log splitter, and snow plow.
Mr Cruz, you got a touch. Ticklish, careful work.
I am not a fan of the Gee Wiz touch panels on welding machines. They seem so unnecessarily fragile and expensive for such an application. However I do stand to be corrected by a competent authority. I C Weld would be such an authority in my book. What say you Isaac?
Arc gouging: Anyone who tells me there is a better more efficient way to separate two prices of steel for reuse of one or both components has clearly never worked on heavy machine components. Sometimes torch gouging process is close. But I maintain Carbon Arc Gouging the king of taking things apart and removing metal. Cheers
Yes, Arc gouging is king when it comes to removing any two welded pieces of metal, and Yeah,....I'm a little uneasy about the new front faces on these new machines. Theyre all moving to that. I guess we'll have to see how well they hold up.
Love it! some great tips.
You know those guys are gonna try and tear those mounts right off of there. I say let ‘em try.
Very nice stick welds always good to stay in practice. Very nice work as alway's and those auto shade lenses spoil you I had to do that before as well .I cant get rid of my old helmet ....maybe this is why 😂😂😂great video as alway's !! 👍👍
Good afternoon from Greece!
Good show! Thanks for the instruction!
It's not welding, it's gluing metal pieces together. 😁
Issac, as always, you do a awesome job explaining but also doing.
another nice job fella.
very nice work, thanks for the lesson
I love arc gouging it takes way less time to remove welds then using a grinder
Beautiful job.
Thanks for the video I.C.
I really appreciate the arc gouging explanation. It's one process I have never used or had the priviledge to see in person.
Thanks for taking the time to show details of your arc gouge setup. I did not understand how the air was directed until you showed the closeup of the electrode holder.
Great video, as usual.
The copper is only there to supplement the conductivity of the rod so you can stick it out longer. It will immediately blow off the end once you start gouging, which is why they leave one end uncoated. That's the end you're supposed to start with.
Also, the point of a cutoff wheel in this context is to create a sharper stress riser in the middle of the weld, so when you hit it with a big hammer it will crack out much easier. If you have good access to the weld, it can often be quite a bit faster.
Not bad looking for an amateur 😜🤣
Thank you for your wise lessons my friend 🫡
Good instruction and instructor Isaac, thanks for these lessons, they are not wasted on me I can assure you..
Isaac is great!
Enjoyed the review of Arc Gouging, I knew the basics really appreciated the details.
I always look forward to seeing your posts. Reminds me of my younger days. Thanks from San Antonio Tx.
I always enjoy your videos. Between you and CEE I have learned a lot. Thanks.
Love your work and video's. Thanks !!
Very good video and narrative
I am newer to welding being a weekend warrior mostly. I have been looking for more info on arc gouging and thia video was perfect describing exactly what i wanted to know on it. Thank you!!
Great job thanks for sharing
1,758 👍's up IC WELD thank you for sharing 🤗
Beautiful beads Isaac, for saying you don’t stick weld that much, you certainly haven’t lost your touch. 😊👍🏻
excelente video mi amigo saludos desde mexico
Will be showing this in the classroom, thank you
I was gonna ask about compressor size when it kicked on! So much faster arc gouging that grinding. Thanks for showing this repair! Wonder if the operator of the skidsteer had too heavy a load...
Is there an arc gouging channel ? I got a fever and the only cure is more arc gouging!!
Haha, THere should be one, RIght!?!?!
Cutting edge engineering Australia also has some videos.
Try, allistairc123 He has lots of gouging and welding.
Alistairc123 is your man for REALLY heavy engineering & arc gouging, his channel is a bit random but you will find some serious work if you look around on there
Yeah, he works on some really big stuff
Pretty neat. thanks for the information.
Good morning Isaac. I sent you another pad ,I like to have different kinds for different scenarios,that one folds and stacks,so if you are knelling,its a little easier on the knees getting up.I also sent you some Rex Cut hard wheels! Hope you like them!
Ahh, thank you! I was wondering where that came from. I am not home at the moment but my folks mentioned that I received some packages. Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing them upon my return. Thanks again.
No problem sir,thank you for the videos!
Good morning from the UK 🇬🇧
Another job well done experience really does make the man
Another Great job, you do amazing work and I really enjoy watching you do it👍
Nice… 👍👍👍👍👍 in the past I did soooooooo much arc gouging that I can hear and identify that sound from miles away!! lol…
I use the same hood and have a tefuawe hand series true color auto darkening lens. Recharges with USB. Nice work by the way!
