    As a structural welder of 20 years, I would like to give you a little tip. When you get to the end of your welds, normally there will be hairline cracks in the crater. You'll see these cracks more visibly with aluminum, but they're there with steel as well (can be seen with magnetic particle inspection). With something that's truly static it doesn't matter as much, but with some parts on the wrecker that are moving, over time those small cracks can run along the length of the weld and cause it to fail. I've seen this first hand several times. Maybe you do this off camera, but from what if seen in your vids you don't. At the end of the weld, pause for a second, then give a little shot extra in the crater. This will cap the tiny cracks, and keep it from potentially working their way down the weld. Aside from that, I like the work you guys are doing!

    • @mareli82
      @mareli82 Год назад +41

      if you get shrink / crater crak at the end of every weld you are doing something wrong, but your solution to preventing it is spot on , fill the end a sec longer to prevent to crater to form.

    • @j.decker7443
      @j.decker7443 Год назад +65

      I agree. I have been a welding inspector since 1984. When you are welding the weld crater is digging into the base materials. If you just stop without filling the crater you will have an undercut situation and a crack will form. One other thing to do, if possible, continue to weld around the corner into the opposite side weld. Ends of weld are a great place for fatigue cracks to start.

    • @charlesirby9222

    I stopped by and got to see the wrecker: beautiful fab work!! Ed came over and shook my hand: huge honor to meet him! Looking in his eyes, there’s a lot of stories and experiences in there, and they’re clear and bright. I was deeply honored that he seemed to be happy to meet me and that I knew his name before he spoke. I greeted him “Hello Mr Ed, how are you Sir?” I would LOVE a documentary on this man’s life!! This is a man who built the “block” that others claim to have “been around “. I have large hands and his were like shaking hands with a baseball mitt: they’ve known a lot of work!!
    And the doggies are happy, healthy and clean and comfortable and well cared for by The Man, Ed. 💪🙏♥️. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and for being such a great inspiration and role model for us to aspire to.

    For those that are wondering about the stops that Matt wants to put on the rear steering cylinder, they are a common item on cylinders. On a forklift, they are used to limit how far the mast can tilt back.

      My only concern is in an off road environment , mud, sand, ect. they will pack debris against the seal causing premature failure of the seal. the seal or wipe is designed to wipe the staff ,as the stopper comes in to bottom out it is going to trap and press debris under the wipe.

    I think you need to let Merlin's old school garage in the tow truck Olympics. Ed is a lucky man to have friends like you, great work and I'm sure he appreciates it. I think you need to move your limit straps more towards the center of the axle, having them so far out on the axle is going to limit your articulation of the axle. By moving him toward the center will keep the axle from dropping too low and still allow the articulation you need for off-road recovery's.... 👍

    Watching Ed struggle to hear hits home for me. I got hearing aids a few years ago and it is a life changer. I’m in my 30’s and I couldn’t understand my kids talking to me. It was frustrating for them as well. I got a pair to try out I walked in the door and my daughter said something to me and I could understand perfectly. I couldn’t believe how much I had been missing. I would check out in a crowded room because I couldn’t understand people. Now I’m a part of the group again. I’m not sure if hearing aids would help Ed or what his situation is. If he doesn’t have them it could be a life changing experience for him to get a pair.
