    Brother I love your videos. I'm an old school welder. When I was 20, I worked for a well drilling company and did a lot of hard face welding on their giant bits. I'm 67 today and welding is still in my blood. Keep up the great content.

      It's a Hudson Hornet, if your young you might remember the movie "Cars", well Doc Hudson was the same kind of car as this. Pretty rare piece actually.

    Amazing to see the things you do. It is so satisfying to touch two different metals apart. I used to cut a lot of bearing races off shafts in farm equipment when I was growing up. It is interesting to see you do that with a welded joint. Men like you keep everything rolling. God bless.

    Liked it over 14" at a time hard facing. I would just get in a zone and go till gun got so hot I couldn't hold it any more.

    In my former career, I used this exact tool quite a bit for siezed pins in well drilling rigs. We called it an arc air slice pack. That's probably a trademark name. My guess is that the hollow rod is either made of magnesium, or has it in it. We used it with a car battery, and it worked great. You could bore a hole straight through a 2" diameter, 3" long pin in seconds. The nice part was that it wouldn't eat through the rust layer separating the pin and the housing, so normally the housing would be fine afterwords. Once the pin had a hole hogged through it, most times, it would almost fall out of the hole it was in. Wonderful product, but the consumables are quite expensive. Thanks for showing it, it was nice to see again.

    • @djisydneyaustralia
      @djisydneyaustralia ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Arc air slice is a trade name that comes under the victor technologies banner along with the likes of tweco thermal dynamics thermal arc and many more

    • @djisydneyaustralia
      @djisydneyaustralia ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a steel tube with a steel alloy wires. The wires will readily go molten when stroked on the striker , short circuiting 12v at high current and the flow of oxygen keeps the molten state alive consuming the lance.

Currently I'm rebuilding a 50 inch mower deck and my son is helping me while he learns the little knowledge I have of metal working and welding. Glad we can learn from your videos also!

  • @darrensamuels1511
    @darrensamuels1511 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have had good luck with an air hammer, just hit what's left of the tooth one the side. It will eventually rattle the rust and dirt out. Don't try to cut it just rattle it around in the hole. It can take a long time but eventually it will come loose. I have used this method to loosen things for many years with good results. Retired mechanic. Really enjoy the videos. Many thanks.

    I was a reluctant convert to the pneumatic hammer but once I tried it, I rarely use a shop hammer and drift knocking out large broken off pins and bolts. May I suggest the Ingersol Rand 122 or 123MAX for your arsenal? Ear protection is a must but they can save wear and tear on the shoulders and prevent finger smashing glancing blows!

    Look into Air Hammers, perfect for removing teeth out of pockets. Normally when we torch out teeth like these, we cut the tip off and make it flat. Then treated like regular metal. Blow thru the teeth, pierce all the way through. Then we use an air hammer and pop it out. Since the teeth isnt full in the pocket, they come out super easy. I probably didnt make sense. I can make a video if somebody cares enough.
