AGREE!!! I believe the only part of making a longer video is loading it up on here. There may be some holdups there, plus it takes him longer to upload.
Agreed! If anyone doesn't enjoy the long format they don't enjoy the work either... So informative, thank you for taking the time to create it! What a great job too!
These jobs will make a man out of person, the sense of satisfaction when you finish is priceless. The customers will have no idea of the skill involved getting it done and never will, that's fine I've always done these for myself. thanks for the content and greetings from NJ
Like your long videos. My dad was manager of a mechanical shop in the forties until the sixties as a teen I hung out there learned to weld and run all kinds of machine equipment love your talent and nearly 90 years old your show brings back many mercies of my time spent in the mine shop .
There's a reason why you are always busy. Because you are able to fix the problem instead of just replacing a part. With the world wide supply chain issue, the now common just in time parts supply model doesn't work. You get equipment running again instead of waiting for parts to be switched out. We get to watch over your shoulder and learn/enjoy your process & thinking.
It was very unfortunate that your son was in school at this particular time. I say this, inasmuch, as this job would have been a good example of how to deal with opposing stress points in metal and how to relieve the tension from the various stress points and get straight welds even with tension on the metal. Thank you for the video it was a really good one to watch.
It never ceases to amaze me how a machine that size can be destroyed and someone like you can make it better than new again. You should never apologize for doing a job correctly no matter how long it takes. The video is not too long and of very good quality and informative for all.
On video 1 I sat there thinking how many people I know would have driven that pin in and said 'it will wear in" lol.. What a sign of a quality repair. With all your experience with these ultra harsh situations you should design and farm out the manufacturer of the RAMBO BOOM REPLACEMENT.. I can only imagine these repairs are the start of the end. Maybe people would buy a bare machine with your Rambo BOOM... lol
@@ICWeld Im sure you know the failure points and stresses inside and out. I guess maybe the only option would be to run the entire lower section out of solids or some other unrealistic solution too cost prohibitive. Would seem better to build a better boom even though OEM's provide jobs for repair. You'd think they'd offer a hammer boom or something with a bunch of internal stiffening that would help.
I can watch you all day, I'm learning alot just from watching you do this. You say it's hard, I know its hard, but you make it look so easy and not a big deal to do. But man what a job to do this, you have skills and knowledge way beyond myself. Great job, keep up the great work.
That plasma torch is the Bomb, great asset to your hoarde and the savings on acetylene gas and oxygen tanks will pay for the rig. As usual great video and showing of your master craftsman skills 👌
You are a “welding magician”. You are one of the few I look for when God grants me a free moment for you tube vids. I agree with most of your TH-camrs, long is not bad. Your humility is infectious. I think the most valuable trait you have is knowing how the steel will “ walk” after each weld. I gotta believe the whole yard staff come out to see the latest magic you’ve done for the tool they’ve destroyed. Go to bed feeling good about what you’ve done. Beautiful.
really enjoyed the video 👍. you mentioned it being a long video... to me there's nothing wrong with long videos... there's a process to to complete the repair... and I understand that at times it's not going to fit in a smaller time frame to show everything that is required to be done and tell a complete story. again I enjoyed the video, thank you for showing me what it takes to make this kind of repair. lastly, looking forward to the next one 👍😁
I don't know a darn thing about welding but when I watch your videos I'm totally fascinated! The way you explain things makes it make sense to my non welding mind. Good job!
It's interesting to see your thinking and reasoning behind each single weld. Things like extending a weld beyond the new plate section despite old weld being there. I guess past problems have taught you some wise moves.
Had a brew and watched this in full. Really enjoyed it, never tire of watching someone who’s really good at what they do. Love how you explain your thinking as you go along.
You sir wield those torches like a surgeon does a scalpel. I am in total awe with you ability to look at the damage and come up with a viable solution. I never get tired of watching you work the problem. Work facinates me, I can watch it all day and never get tired. Thank you.
I too tend to/like to talk out loud to myself when I’m analyzing/thinking through the solution to a problem and the best fix. As you mentioned it could still bow during welding.
Spent a 10 hour shift welding……what do I do?…..watch you weld……lol. In the industry I weld in…..I can’t do anything without engineering approval……they can’t trust my 26 years of welding. Your videos are so refreshing……you engineer, and weld yourself.
Considering you're teaching us... i'm not complaining about a long video. Uh, uh. I am thankful, and humbled, that someone who's on the job, takes their time to teach us ignobles in the cheap seats. Thank you!
I enjoy watching you work on the booms of the excavators and backhoe, I do some welding, still learning. Thanks for the lessons on welding, I learned a lot from watching your videos.
Didn't mind the length at all. The plasma is impressive and it's always been my go-to. I'm hoping you can do updates as per costs. The torch is about $1800 and consumables aren't cheap. You can buy a lot of gas for that money.
I couldn't visualize the stresses in the metal until you step by step revealed them. A masterful job of de-constructing the failure and rebuilding the component. I knew your repair was going to work, but it was still very satisfying to see that pin slide home perfectly at the end of the video. Masterful repair job!
Isaac, I've done this type of work for a few years. And i tell you that's one slick job. I have the experience to know what's good and what's not so good. My hats off to ya, you are da man. Thanks for the video.
You sir, are a steel whisperer. I would be honored to sweep the metal slag and debris from your floor! Thank you for another extremely satisfying video, and allowing us to witness your magic😀
Thank you for showing the pin install. Tanya will be disapointed you did not have to use her, but your customer will be thankful she is no longer a necessary instalation tool. Great video
What impresses me is how you understand structure. Your customers are benefitting from your knowledge and skill that makes the repair equal to the original item. A pleasure to watch your craft.
Long video? As each video ends I wish it was longer! I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your thought process and its execution, I'm always amazed when the jobs finished. Wish I was there in person! Outstanding Issac and than you!
Absolutely remarkable that the two bearing lined up to allow for the pin fit! I really was expecting you having to line bore. There’s nothing worst than making a start on an “easy”project only to find unexpected extra work! Good results. I stuck with the excellent “long”video to the end 👍UK
Congratulations on the free pin in the finished product. After the initial success of freeing up the pin, that much welding could have caused the part to seize again. You kept the pin as free at the end, after all that "hot melt gluing, " as when you freed it up. Don't try that at home, folks!
Nicely done lots of work to do it right. But that’s always the way to do it. And great tips for some watching with less experience. Who may one day find themselves needing to do a big welding repair like this
I've seen a line bore done, and it looked easier, even with all the machining, than the fab work you just did. Great vid...you fixed it like any shop I've ever worked in, would have. Biggest difference is I would use stick. 👍
Your customers are lucky to have someone with your skills, knowledge and experience available. Your viewers, like me, are lucky to have someone like you willing to take the time to share your and knowledge with us. Thanks for taking time to share and explain the reasons why you do things the way you do. BTW, your long videos don't seem long because you take time to explain whats happening along the way. Greetings and thanks from Wyoming
IC ,I’m surprised there isn’t any gussets inside the baffle. Then again I’m not an engineer. Appreciate you passing on your knowledge to JR and us. Gracias desde Kansas City!
it was a good call to just cut that cracked side of the bore off. I think even if you got that pin loose by cutting the full pen seam, by the time you got the seam re welded I would be would be worried the tension would still be there and would have locked that pin back up. Not to mention with the bore being cracked like that you got a much cleaner prep by beveling it with the plasma torch for that repair. One trick I’ve learned working on these to make sure the bores are level is just putting a pipe in the bores and useing a torpedo to make sure everything is straight and no twists. Love your videos keep up the good work!
Hey Issac, that sucker was a real challenge!! I think it's hard for some people to understand you can't just run to the store and get a new one. Great job getting it back making money! Good thing your dad showed up to help you through the hard parts!!:)
I’m impressed with how you plan out the work. I’m also impressed with the knowledge in engineering and metallurgy. It’s one thing to burn rod, but another to make a repair which holds up, or in many cases improves on the original design.
I’m glad you didn’t arc gouge and persevered with the plasma. You have mastered that. I must look into an extended hand piece like that, it would make things so much easier. You are the man on a gas axe, I love watching you gas cut.
Most people would have scrapped that barrel with it blown out like that.....But not YOU. Once again an incredible repair. You have alot of great tools but your creativity and problem solving is your greatest tool of them all. Thanks for the videos.....I am learning alot from them
Keep the videos coming, some of us who didnt have the generational knowledge handed down to us, learn an extensive amount from your content. Each video is filled with little tips and tricks whether you verbally explain them or not. Simply watching you work is a learning experience. Amazing job buddy
Man thought that was a can of worms in the beginning…. Great work .. master of the torch .. just like the demo you put on at Jesse millers shop a few years ago ..
I like the long videos or a long job split into sections ….I find you work interesting the problems you come across and the methods you use to solve them ,you chats are informative and make understanding your work so much real and educational …
Finally got to watch part 2. Very impressed with the corrections made so pin floated smoothly as should be verses hammered in. Just as good as original design if not better. Having correct tools and knowledge plus knowing how to use them is your specialty. 5 stars.
Another day, another banana (OK, same one); lotsa cuttin', weldin'... Fun to watch, although not necessarily the same to do the actual work. But at any rate I'm doing my part (watching, that is) as best as I can ;-) I have some experience with this kind of work, and while I never worked on anything even remotely "so big", I do have a taste of this stuff - the smell, the dust, the gruelling physical work. (But hey, it always did wonders to the evening beer - it ALWAYS tasted great after it ;-) Watching your videos is not only about "entertaining spark show" - the most interesting part is figuring out how to tackle the problem at hands, while keeping in mind there's more than one way to skin a cat. Cheers, Isaac!
Yeh and the pin fitted after all that work . I do wonder if any of your customers actually watch these and get those "ooh that's mine " moments. Its surprising how badly damaged some can be and just look a bit more than bent plate and popped welds . Great little journey on this and I'm sure others wouldn't mind how long or how many part the videos are in . The new torch is coming along bit more playing and your gonna love that torch as much as the gas one . Excellent skills as always many thanks .
I always enjoy watching a craftsman troubleshooting the unknowns and coming up with a solution. I really like the fact that you don't edit out things that show we are all human, and there will always be things pop up that we have to work with.
Bravo for a great job. You were teasing us by not showing the pin fitment in the latter stages, but you obviously were checking it as you went. Like most of the guys, I watched it all the way through as always.
This job is a real ball buster; so many unforeseen issues with the metal cracking. Nothing good comes easy! But I do see you loving the new plasma cutter more and more!
As a carpenter, I can identify with throwing my hammer at my shins way more often than I'd like to admit 😅 Great job again Isaac, you always make it look so easy
That was a doozy of a repair fantastic job much nicer and cleaner then a lot of work I’ve seen people do in the past definitely setting the bar for what should be done 👍
This master craftsman often inspires me to just jump in and get started when looking at a tough problem to fix. When it's broke, you don't have to much to lose cus it's already broke, so just get at it instead of suffering from paralysis of analysis. Love the attitude and the experience to go with it. Today I pulled a stuck fuel injection pump on a duetz diesel, freed the rack and stuck barrels and got it back together with out loosing pump timing, because I was tired of looking at a 500amp boat anchor. Either way if I left it or messed it up, it was going to the pump shop for major wallet grape. Viola, working airpak now after a couple years of sitting and then having it runaway with stuck rack. Getrdone.
NEVER apologize for a long video! Personally, I wish they were all this long or longer. I never tire of watching a master at work!
Agree 100 percent!
That’s how it should be ☝🏻
Agreed

You are far from a rookie!

As usual great video and showing of your master craftsman skills 👌
Absolute artistry.
If welding were poetry,
Isaac would be Shakespeare.
No worries on the longer video. Every minute was an education from a knowledgeable teacher. Thank you!
What a mess! But your thought process was right on, and it looked great in the end! Was not to long! Great video series!

Amazing as usual Isaac. Crazy mad skills. They only come from years of experience!
No need to apologise for the length of the video, we are more than happy to watch you work sir.
Didn't mind the length at all. The plasma is impressive and it's always been my go-to. I'm hoping you can do updates as per costs. The torch is about $1800 and consumables aren't cheap. You can buy a lot of gas for that money.
Amazing how you kept the pin bore straight with all the welding. There's a guy that knows what he is doing 👍
I think these bananas are my favorite thing to watch you work on. Thanks for providing these videos!
What I really like is the clear explanations and quiet music. Thanks for all the video angles as well, they take up a lot time and effort.
I can only agree with the other comments - longer the better. That new bit of kit was well worth the money. Never seen any thing like it.

There is a baffle just a bit forward of the opening.
Fabricating to a few thou ( 0.05mm) is Impressive, designers will say it cannot be done.
Excellent work Issac, great video and thanks for sharing.
One would expect a designer to say you cannot equate 0.05 mm to a few thousandths, unless it was an interior designer.
Very interesting as usual. Didnt find it to long to be honest. Look forward to your next repair challenge.
it was a good call to just cut that cracked side of the bore off. I think even if you got that pin loose by cutting the full pen seam, by the time you got the seam re welded I would be would be worried the tension would still be there and would have locked that pin back up. Not to mention with the bore being cracked like that you got a much cleaner prep by beveling it with the plasma torch for that repair. One trick I’ve learned working on these to make sure the bores are level is just putting a pipe in the bores and useing a torpedo to make sure everything is straight and no twists. Love your videos keep up the good work!
That torch sure works slick, wish it had come out before I retired.
Hey Issac, that sucker was a real challenge!! I think it's hard for some people to understand you can't just run to the store and get a new one. Great job getting it back making money! Good thing your dad showed up to help you through the hard parts!!:)
Actually we have them in stock at cat in slc utah 320 is most common excavator you do not want to see the bill for a new boom though
@@jeremyhanna3852 I have no idea, but I’d take a wild guess at 55 K US??? Edit. Make that $75 K and I bet I’m still way low!
I’m impressed with how you plan out the work. I’m also impressed with the knowledge in engineering and metallurgy. It’s one thing to burn rod, but another to make a repair which holds up, or in many cases improves on the original design.
I’m glad you didn’t arc gouge and persevered with the plasma. You have mastered that. I must look into an extended hand piece like that, it would make things so much easier. You are the man on a gas axe, I love watching you gas cut.
Ah, the old throw the sledge at the ground trick. Something all field welders are proficient at.

Today I pulled a stuck fuel injection pump on a duetz diesel, freed the rack and stuck barrels and got it back together with out loosing pump timing, because I was tired of looking at a 500amp boat anchor. Either way if I left it or messed it up, it was going to the pump shop for major wallet grape. Viola, working airpak now after a couple years of sitting and then having it runaway with stuck rack. Getrdone.
