What I really enjoy about these videos is that Isaac shows us what real world field repairs are like. I’m sure there is the “book” way to do these things but that is usually not the best, or most profitable, way. Isaac is the real deal! Keep up the good work!
Mr Carrion is the epitome of doing things by the book. It's his immense experience and talent that allow him to put that book knowledge into proper, practical use.
Thank you Isaac for showing me the video of your hard work you do 👍👏🏆🏆🤜🤛 by the way you made me laugh when you tried to hold the hot part sorry for laughing I thought I was the only one who trying to hold some thing hot God bless you Isaac be safe and I'll see you in the next video
I just wanna say on the behalf of all the subscribers. Thank you, there are many welders on TH-cam. But not one who teaches as much and you do you, or explains as much. And shows different skills like you do most weldtubers Just do work and take us along for the ride. I learn and pick up skills When I watch your videos and I very much appreciate it.
Absolutely IC is the first, also if you haven't check out meltin metal Anthony. He is another down to earth no bs guy that does alot for people try to startup and what not. These two are all time on you tube for sure
I still use plasma cutting and torch cutting tricks at work that I've seen you do. I cut a lot of liftgates off trailers and learning to see that weld line has saved me a lot of time in the final prep not having to fill in holes I cut accidentally. I wish there were more people who took pride in their work like you, hard to find good help these days.
There are so few talented men in the world that are also capable of being great teachers, you are a blessing to this community. Thank you for all that you do.
I like that you show how "not" to do it... guys like me don't always have the choice of making from scratch, sometimes ya gotta make it work with what you have, rather then what you want.
Isaac, this video had everything - your verbal failure diagnosis and repair plan, and then some of your amazing torch work. But when you started trying to bridge that huge gap, the weld looked so bumpy and uneven. I know a bunch of us doubted you could pull off the repair. But then you struck another arc and passed your hand over the repair and humbled us all with your skills. It was like a movie script, Isaac, like in a movie. And you topped it off introducing a couple of new tools that sent us scambling for our welding supply catalogs. Perfection, Isaac! 😎😎😎
There's hollywood productions with 7/8 figure budgets, then there's quality TH-cam channels like this one which surpass any big dollar production in every way. Nicely done as always, Isaac.
Not every joint is gonna be perfect like in school. I've had to close up the grand canyon with tig and stick many a times. Excellent work my friend, my torch handling skills have improved dramatically by watching your videos.
I made a shop repair of a conrete boom turret section, and your videos were my reference when ever the "engineers" specefications were rediculous and wouldn't work. So when I hit it with the mag partical and saw no cracks, I thought Torch Norris would be proud. Well, not of my gouging and cutting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello, new subscriber here. I’m a weld student of IVY Tech NW IN 1987. I still occasionally weld, I love watching someone of your experience level. You are very skilled, weld on my brother! 😎👍
Been watching your videos for a few years. Born and raise metal fabricator like my dad for 30 years. I have to say you are a master of your craft . Keep up the good work.👍
When people tell you it isn't supposed to be done that way, it's because they don't know how to don't that way. I learn something every time I watch your videos.
Yes indeed. I've had customers say, Oh, you cant do that.( unfortunately because of their lack of experience) and I complete the job successfully. I had a customer tell me he was gonna love me for the rest of my life because he was struggling with a project for over a month. He unknowingly was making the situation worse each time he attempted it. I fixed him up in a few hours. As with anything, the more experience, the easier things get. I was happy to help him get his machine running.
I really have lot of respect for your abilities. Doing this in the environment you are in makes these repairs tough and you make it look so easy. You're killing it.
Reading this made my ears start to hurt, "what... I can't hear you..." -- if they had fitbits or even my phone sportsapp detected jackhammering, I wonder how many hours total I've spent on chippers, rivet busters, 35#, 60#, and 90# hammers [Edit::had to look it up, pavement breakers are 35# not 45#]
As an old farm boy that had to fix everything we broke, we'll this could have helped back then lol. You show things I missed. Well I still break things so here's to learning something new to try. Great job.
Isaac, I recall projects where you had to think outside of the box!! Really great review where that rule applies. Thanks for letting us look over shoulder and Learn to think outside of the box. Keep showing and we will keep learning.
Wish I had of met you while I was living in Austin. You and Curtis are what I watch when I need to relax, chill and learn something new. Keep up the great work!
As a 50 something yr old self taught welder/blob and grinder(mostly to fix Arborist company equiptment-my business before I retired) I have to say I learn something every time I watch these job vid's. The Internet was built for those with knowledge and experience to help those without - it's amazing. Thanks for the great content!
You know Isaac you show the world that with a little common sense there is always a different ways to do things and have a good outcome. Thank You! I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos as I am sure there are a lot of guys out there doing the same. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next project.
Do viewers comment on how you should do things differently? Oh yeah this is youtube, were experts come to correct the professionals! Keep on getting it fixed brother!
It always nice to see a Texas boy doing what I would call one of the best welders and fabricators I have ever seen I am a Texas boy myself raised on in the oil field of 50 years seen a lot of welders in my time but by far you and Curtis from Curtis from cutting edge top 2 in my books like watching you do what you do thanks for sharing
WOW, another masterful repair from the master himself. Thanks for posting Isaac and take care! People who say that is the wrong way are typically in academia and can't apply logic to anything in the real world. Therefore they decide to teach something they don't know how to use!
I must say I had never used an air arc pryor to watching your videos. Being able to pick one up at a job I was on I had it down in 5mins. Thanks for your priceless knowledge and helping teach us the ways of a true Old School tradesmen!
These videos remind me of my training decades ago. My instructor was an old and wise fella (no offence meant with the age thing!) and honestly some of those things he'd show me have remained good and true to this day.
These videos are always nice showing how to effect competent repairs without overthinking the problem and executing the repair with basic tools. They simply don't teach this stuff in school. P.S. I've been using one of those aluminum speed squares for welding for years. Every welder should have one.
An impromptu field repair executed by a skilled welder usually yields better results than the controlled environment factory joint. Awesome as always Dude!!!
Work of art there issac you really did amazing job and that is probably gonna be a hard press for them to break that off but I don’t put anything past anybody anymore !!!
Thanks for the excellent discussion about reusing vs. replacing and the tutorial on how to do it. That is very useful. I have been using Pica pencils and pens for 15 years and am really satisfied with them.
Great job Isaac 👍 I'm glad you did that video most people don't know what welders do they fix things that break and repair them we don't always have the luxury of putting brand-new parts on that's why we're called welders.
Looks great to me! I couldn't help but chuckle when you were lining it up at first and it was hot and kept waving your fingers. Been there done that. My Dr. put me on some new medicine for my tremors and I might try some test welding tomorrow. The new medicine has relaxed me a lot and if I set still too long I go into nap mode. Getting old sucks, but I know the alternative!
Have you ever done any overlay on Trey Towers in refineries you go in there and you weld for days on end that dual Shield flux core yeah that's making metal thicker for those of you that don't know build up like he was doing here there's no Orthodox the way to do it and I'm going to guarantee I've spent my whole welding career trying to master the build-up bridging two pieces of metal together however you call it good job bro good job
So glad you got the rain on video! I remember where I was right then. :) Loved that you elected to save the piece and reattach it - better than it ever was!
I use my Pica pencil daily at work and at the wood lathe at home, the interchangeable colored leads are very good. I would highly recommend it to wood and metal workers.
Great video as always a pleasure to watch. Out in the field decisions have to be made, your assessment of the job and the plan of action is always second to none. As my Dad used to say to me if a jobs worth doing then do it properly and you do. Thanks for the time you put in. Paul UK
I don't understand the objection to filling gaps either, often the heat generated from the larger weld gives a much better penetrating weld on both sides, Thanks for Sharing and confirming a few things
Another thing about these types of repairs is, often the client wants to spend as little money as possible. Of course you could make it new, especially in the shop, but that's downtime, money, and labor. $$$ As expensive as some of these machines can be they're not all restoration candidates.
Isaac would make for great content if you and Greg from on Fire Welding and Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering could get together on a live stream or better still all three of you working on a project. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice work indeed young man. I absolutely agree that filling big gaps with Mig is OK. Have done similar myself without issue. I can tell that the job you did there is very strong and not going to break easily.
10:08 to elaborate on cutting through a crack, i believe it's because the heat from the torch doesn't "jump" the crack and since the metal isn't preheated the oxygen jet doesn't burn it off. I first observed this oxy-acetylene scarfing the backing plate of test plates for 6010 and 7018, the backer would come off cleanly but where it was welded you could gouge too deep into the test plates
27:45 When I saw that I went _fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck_ out loud. That finish is unbelievably incredible. *WOW!!* That's nice. You do beautiful work Isaac, absolutely beautiful! 🥰 *Thankk You* for sharing! .👍👍
Man, I really really wish you would get your terminology correct! Its HOT gluing, not just gluing!! 🤪👍 (that's a joke for the internet morons) Always a pleasure to see your work, and how to fix/reuse instead of just throwing stuff away like we have been trained to do the last 20+ years.
You must have one huge electric bill......LOL. I know my little stick welder causes my bill to go up allot the few times I use it. Great vid as always..
When you say it looks good (i.e., it's gonna work), I believe you! It sure looked good in the end. (And I like the jack stands just the way they are... like me... a little out of sync!)

I couldn't believe how good it looked at the end.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony He sure doesn't need an angle grinder or paint eh. Just incredible.
The Leonardo Da Vinci of the welding world.
Very tidy job Isaac.
You are a true master...I love the way you are so humble and I don't think I've ever heard you sware in a video yet....always professional

Not every joint is gonna be perfect like in school. I've had to close up the grand canyon with tig and stick many a times. Excellent work my friend, my torch handling skills have improved dramatically by watching your videos.
I always say, give me perfect conditions, ill give perfect fit and weld. What ive learned after 10 years is its rare to have either of those lol

Your videos should be shown in every welding trade school! Great real world situations. 👍👍
Beautiful video, thanks. You are a true master welder and repair man. Welders around the world watch your videos and learn a lot from you.
That worked out just fine… sometimes you have to do what you have to do. The weld is still solid and not likely to break. Good job Isaac!

Almost!
I really have lot of respect for your abilities. Doing this in the environment you are in makes these repairs tough and you make it look so easy. You're killing it.
I spent my share of time on a 90lb jackhammer, both on floors and vertical walls. Thanks to the man that designed the hydraulic monster.
Reading this made my ears start to hurt, "what... I can't hear you..." -- if they had fitbits or even my phone sportsapp detected jackhammering, I wonder how many hours total I've spent on chippers, rivet busters, 35#, 60#, and 90# hammers [Edit::had to look it up, pavement breakers are 35# not 45#]
I seen the shorts and i did enjoy seeing the work portions but i didnt catch the actual video of the full repair. No matter im not going elsewhere.
One of my all time favorite channels. I love the quarry shit cuz that’s my roots

Seeing this get repaired made me lol. We have a few of these at my work and i think all of them have been repaired multiple times.
Been a while since you posted. I hope you're doing well. It's always a treat to watch you work!
The folks in your area are lucky to have a great craftsman available!
Great work, IC, customer should be happy about that repair
That top cap pass came out SWEEEET! Looks completely factory!👍

My friend says he is CDO….. that is OCD but in alphabetical order! Great video, great job!
😄😄😄
Good to see a beginner getting some work. Stick to it and you're gonna go places!
Lmao
Thank you for showing us how to do repairs - i have started to do more with my welder because of your recommendations.
Always learn something from your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Nice job as always Isaac! I can’t say I would have done it any different myself! Your experience and professionalism is next level.

That thing looks great. 100% better than it did when it showed up.
I have seen a few nice welds, but that is the icing on the cake! I have a suspicion, that someone was trolling someone lol.
The end goal is make that weld so strong. It will extra hard for the workers to rip it off.
You did that and more.
Great job with the metal glue.
You are an absolute artist with the cutting torch!
Yeah, brother! I wish we got some of that up here in Liberty county.

Good stuff dude. Very professional product.
That's more like hot gluing that thing. Lol, awesome finish on it, too. No one would ever have known the condition of it when you started the job.
27:45 "Not bad for a rookie" 😀
Thank you for sharing another great video. What workmanship that was!
This young fella uses a torch like an artist uses a brush!
It’s not that hard
@@brentwells8963 when you get out of high school, perhaps you might be able to show us how you do it.
Exactly
Is your son still working with you??
More like Harry Potter and his wand. IC is a wizard with that torch imo

Hey, I like how you use different tools than what most people do you don’t have to have $5000 plasma cutters Oxsee settling it came out gorgeous
