I hope Isaacs charges well for his skills and experience... He is the sort of guy who can charge more per hour because his abilities = efficiency and reliability
They definitely do! That's how he's able to provide us these videos. His torch skills on a random video got me hooked. I've done quite a few repairs on blower attachments (Canada for snow) with my father, he knows his shit. But this guy? He writes the books
Not only are you a great welder, you are a wizard with a cutting torch! So much I have learned from you about where and how to cut to fabricate replacement structures and how to better use a torch. Thank you!
I love that you bring back old cool videos. Sad truth is I love hearing you talk about what your doing and your plans. To me your a teacher, I learn from watching and hearing your ideas/training lesson.
Sure woulda been easier on a bench!! But Isaac makes it look easy standing on a ladder !!! Sheesh !! what a PROject, but not a PROblem in the PROcess for the PROfessional!!! Hats off to the Man !
How the hell does this channel only have 126K Subscribers with the amount of welders. / Machine mechanics in the world. i am neither, but find this work both relaxing to watch and magical at the standard of repair. Well done Isaac in producing excellant videos to pass on to people to learn from. Excellant channel. keep up the great work.
Watching your videos both the newer stuff as well as these older ones you are sharing, has given me a bit of peace of mind so to speak. As you have said time and again 'This is not how to do it, but how I do it" and I have also learned over the years the saying "it'll hold till it breaks". Like you I have made repairs in ways that an inspector of welds would have cried foul, heck even other welders who have all the best and brightest tools and have tons of experience, and I am not saying they are wrong but when you have to make something work and don't have all the bells and whistles you make do and get it back working and it will hold till it breaks, cause in some cases you can't help how the machine is being used and even the best welder with the best everything won't change the out come of the operators of the equipment.
Being a field mechanic,sometimes I have to patch it up to finish the job. It is very satisfying to be able to fix it properly when there isn’t a crew watching and waiting for you so they can get moving again.😊
You can also see why Isaac changed over to using the carbon rod arc torch (can't think of the name at the moment) to save money on gases and to save time! Mark from Melbourne Australia
Watching these videos is like going backstage and having the magician show you how he does his tricks. I can't help but get a little nostalgic sometimes because Isaac reminds me a lot of my grandfather who got me into welding in the first place. It's uncanny how I watch Isaac work, and then I'm like...Aha! So THAT'S how Chester did that! And I'll scribble notes in my welding book. I've even paused these videos and catalogued some of his machine settings and tried them out myself and they work pretty good. Even these short videos are a master class in practical field repair.
Isaac I have commented n several of your posts. I do the same kind of stuff you do. Been doing it probably twice as long as you. Of all the jobs you have posted none I would have hesitated to tackle. This one with all the patching that had already been done on it I don't know if I just didn't have the vision to see how it should look prior to all the cobbling that had been done or maybe I am just getting old but I would have walked away from it and wouldn't have touched it. I am not making light of the repair itself, it was a great job. But the biggest part of the job was removing all the crap off it yet leaving the good stuff you had to to maintain the integrity and have something to work from. A classic case of as you say nothing to do but do it. I applaud your vision to stick with it and make it probably better than new.
That must have been a difficult one just from a point of view of access, very interesting to see how you had to cut it out to get to the point where the insert would fit in place, as always the prep takes far longer than the welding lol Thankyou for sharing Isaac
Hello I C weld. I enjoyed the video, your descriptive comments were missed. They add a great deal of understanding why and how you are doing the repair or replacement. Even voice overs are better than no audio. Looking forward to your next video.
I like to see grease when I walk up to a job. Operator is doing all right! Often the business puts pressure on the operators to "Push on, keep it running", and the mechs are told to patch things up "Lost time, lost money". This came out like new!
Isaac I just wanted to let you know that I listen to what you say and I get to watch I taught my older brother about doing with his welder my wielding has improved 100% I built a lawn sprayer it's only 140" wide & I used all scrap metal to build it. You know I've seen people weld a pipe plug into my lawn roller using my Lincoln AC-DC and never burnt through while using a mirror, but the stuff you do you do it no matter what! Thank You
I worked in the group that designed that machine (after they designed it) for a little while. I got to do a little surgery on the mainframe of one of those, though it was on CAD. LOL. Nice repair! Looks like factory, aside from the weld being laid down by a stick rather than spray transfer from a Axcess 450 machine.
I worked on CAT's new mining truck. Don't remember the model number. I know they made a bigger engine instead of using two like the previous model. Lots of failure analysis on the frame castings. I ran the AC lines. LoL 😂😆
@@lnpipeline3306 I think you may be right. I did not catch a good side or front view to gather details, though the business end of the 7-10 series look quite similar, with the 9 &1055 being nearly identical aside from horsepower, though I'm going from a 14 year old memory. Haha.
Howdy from the Northwoods of Minnesota, Love n Respect All. So educational watching you. Nice seeing how other perform tasks. Gives a person ways to improve what they doing. God Bless, be safe and keep the greasy side down
Just discovered your channel with your truck tour post. I'm looking forward to viewing your posts when I've some down time. It's nice to see fathers and sons work together. In my youth, I worked with my dad until he retired. Great channel. Stay safe!👋👍👍👍🇨🇦
Absolutely amazing work !! This was way better than factory .....that Torch work is pure artistry !! That will never give them problems again for sure !! Top notch work all the way !! 👍👍
Wow! That did not look like an easy job! It's amazing how you can clean up that mess with the torch, so much skill. And then ladder welding lol. Much respect to you Issac! Thanks for the great video
Wow , This was hard core . I am installing under deck tool boxes on my dump truck , it took me almost a full day just to figure the logistics for a simple job . Thank you Isaac for taking the time to create these video's. You have helped my tremendously and I am sure tens of thousands more .
Your skill is undeniable. But after seeing many of your perfect finished jobs In your area there must be a contest to if the operator break something designed not to break.
ALL POSITION WELDING FOR THAT JOB, PLUS, REMOVING ALL OF THAT "OTHER WELDER'S WORK," JUST TO GET TO THE MAIN WELDS THAT WERE FACTORY......GOOD TORCH WORK, TOO!!
I'm a welder currently stationed down at the South Pole for the winter over (remember south of the equator everything is backwards)...interesting thing is that the MIG machine they have for me down here is the Miller 350P like yours and a Dynasty TIG welder like yours (only heard you talk about it, never seen it in your vids).
My Dynasty 350 had a circuit board go bad so Its parked on the shelf at the moment. I've been using my old Miller Econotig in its place but its rather small.
@@ICWeld this one has a couple of erratic issues but I'll try giving it an update before I judge it. Does yours have an SD slot for updates? My TIG at home in Indiana is an old school Hobart from the 70's (huge machine that takes up way too much room)
I prefer the sounds of torch and griding...maybe in the timelapses a light musical interlude...but you can tell just how he is burning in by the sounds usually...ASMR welding :D
Classic case of the repair doing more damage than the original failure! And it looks like that machine has plenty more "repairs" that need to be taken care of.
sometimes theres no other choice then patching it up the quick way. when i encounter such situations i try to keep in mind the repair is going to need repaired. So little welding as possible in difficult corners etc to minimalize torch time. especially because im no IC Weld and torching is a lot harder for me. still have to get the time to repair the repair when the job is finished(wich is not always the case haha)
These welds look like the are grown in place... 🤪 Seems that someone had his part of fun before you, telling by the broken patches... Thx for showing, great job! 👍👍👍
Man that is a bad design if I've ever seen one! I hope you scabbed some new brace plates back on. Amazing repairs, went from looking like a disaster to looking like you were building it from new!

Boy I sure hope your customers appreciate the quality of your work.
I hope Isaacs charges well for his skills and experience... He is the sort of guy who can charge more per hour because his abilities = efficiency and reliability
I bet he’s charging 150-200 per hour. Totally worth it
Probably why they hired Isaac, because of his ability and quality.
When those customers come back with more jobs, then he'll know, won't he?
They definitely do! That's how he's able to provide us these videos. His torch skills on a random video got me hooked.

Quoting Kurtis from CEE here: Isaac is "Torch Norris"...
Sorry i meant Instagram lol
Why do you need a cnc machine when you have this skill level?
Lol.
Sure woulda been easier on a bench!! But Isaac makes it look easy standing on a ladder !!!
Sheesh !! what a PROject, but not a PROblem in the PROcess for the
PROfessional!!!
Hats off to the Man !
Yep, a brain surgeon!😮
Isaac is like a master chef carving the turkey dinner. When it looks like brand new, you know it is tops.
Unbelievable IC… The Master of perfection….
Take care my friend…
I like the way you take the time to cut away the previous hastily made patches and give the client a proper repair.
I’m amazed how precisely you cut with a torch. Especially in a most uncomfortable position. Great work👍
In all my years I’ve never seen such work as yours. Welder you are painter you are , absolutely beautiful work if these are the right words.
How the hell does this channel only have 126K Subscribers with the amount of welders. / Machine mechanics in the world. i am neither, but find this work both relaxing to watch and magical at the standard of repair. Well done Isaac in producing excellant videos to pass on to people to learn from. Excellant channel. keep up the great work.
I agree with you. I’m old, retired and have a great appreciation for quality work. Isaac checks all the boxes, I can watch him work for hours
.
It always amazes me to see someone cut freehand circles with a torch, and cut chamfers freehand as well.
Watching your videos both the newer stuff as well as these older ones you are sharing, has given me a bit of peace of mind so to speak.

When previous repairs, done on the fly, fail, it's time to call in the man who knows what to do and how best do it!
Thank you Isaac. Man that is a strong repair. Well done.😅
Being a field mechanic,sometimes I have to patch it up to finish the job. It is very satisfying to be able to fix it properly when there isn’t a crew watching and waiting for you so they can get moving again.😊
I’ll keep that in mind next time an “emergency fix” happens. Usually I offer any assistance to make things go quick and easy.
There he goes again making it look easy. Great job, What a Pro!
The legend showing us historical legacy videos of epic torch work on a difficult and awkward to repair machine. Top class stuff!
You can also see why Isaac changed over to using the carbon rod arc torch (can't think of the name at the moment) to save money on gases and to save time!
Mark from Melbourne Australia
The skill you have with that torch is next level
Like all great artists, its always good to see their "earlier work" (pre-youtube) to fully appreciate the talent😉
Your the cutting torch god, another great job
Beautiful

Damn right !!
Issac, I love how you inherit some real POS and turn it into a piece of fine art - and do so in short order. You are the best, my friend.
Exceptional workmanship!!
Wow that was a lot of torching! Well done! I can’t imagine how hot that frame getting! Thank you Isaac!
Nice work! The forces on those rock trenchers are incredible, and it is also cool how the cabs on some of them raise and lower.

So beautiful, I´m speachless.
Interesting video format. No words needed video said it all !!!
Word gets out when good work is done. Great videos, it's amazing to watch uncompromising professionals.
Working out in the open, then there is the dirt and the expectation that you can fix the impossible........but you did. Have a great week end.
You are defiantly good with the brass spanner good skills thank's for the video
Was impressed with the cutting out the worn parts. However, when the weld prep came in with your torch, that took the cake!
You are an absolute artist.
Great work! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍
Incredible work sanitary looks great keep on keeping on!!!
That must have been a difficult one just from a point of view of access, very interesting to see how you had to cut it out to get to the point where the insert would fit in place, as always the prep takes far longer than the welding lol

would rather hear the torches, welding, and wind than the music. Great work repairing the machine.

A good few feet off the ground and perched to that job like the Pyrenean Ibex. Great video, great skills, many thanks.
Great work Isaac !! 🤗
Beautiful beadwork 😊
This man IC does not cut and wonder, He has a plan from the beginning as to how He will make the repair. Amazing skill level. 😃
Amazing! It's not just welding, it's mechanical engineering. Can't imagine the level of expertise it takes to do this.
If i ever neglected my equipment like that id be more then happy for you to make it new again
Great work as always 👍👍👍
Absolutely amazing work !! This was way better than factory .....that Torch work is pure artistry !! That will never give them problems again for sure !! Top notch work all the way !! 👍👍
This is art my friend!! Impressive!!!
You have to be one of the top torch cutters in the business. The alignment and quality of work is excellent. Stay safe.
Thanks for the video Issac great work again 👍❤️❤️ it. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍.
Fantastic results from what looked like several attempts to prolong a problem. Man, that pretty country there Issac!
BEAUTIFUL WORK AS ALWAYS MY FRIEND.
Wow! That did not look like an easy job! It's amazing how you can clean up that mess with the torch, so much skill. And then ladder welding lol. Much respect to you Issac! Thanks for the great video

Excellent repair
It was great to see you start the video with a similar machine working. Especially, since this is not everyday equipment to most of us.
Now that is mighty fine work. Roofer or electrician here about $1000 a day , you are worth at least twice that.
Brilliant video! Your talent doesn’t need a narrative and doesn’t need to be explained.
Very impressive work👍
That was some impressive work.
Really enjoy seeing how well you are able to use thae torch. You totally make it seem easy. Thanks for sharing.

Looks Great Like Usual.
