Hi I c weld You are my favorite TH-cam welding channel. I like watching yourself because you teach a lot of people how to do it the right way and instead the wrong way.
There are multiple ways to do an equipment repair job right but he is showing his solutions and they also work well. That is the magic with metal fabrication. The example of channels are Snowball Engineering and On Fire Welding. IC Weld is still my favorite.
Isaac, I've been watching your videos for a couple years now. I don't weld or fabricate for a living, I just tinker with stuff. Your comment about leaving that bit of uncut meat when making the second pass was exactly what I was wondering how that metal doesn't end up getting bowed. You're a master of your craft and your viewers and myself appreciate you and your content. Great job and keep it up 😊.
A simple little job and video yes but two little gems of tips. 1. Leave a tab when cutting a strip of steel to avoid the piece bowing/bending away as you cut. 2. Rather than mark every angle to be nipped off, chalk line the table of the notcher to aid repeating the angles. Always something to learn from your videos young man. Top stuff as usual!
Love watching your videos ❤ I'm 78 and was a welder for a little over 50 years doing a lot of the same repairs they are great and go a long ways in demostrationing proper procedures for young Welders. 😊
Your clients are lucky to have you servicing them. You always go the extra mile to ensure their equipment will function for a long time. Good to see your shop supervisor running around in the background and making sure you’re not lolly gagging and taking shortcuts….😂😂😂😂😂.
Isaac, the nice thing about your videos are that they are "real world" non-classroom jobs. Even though this initially looked to be a cut and dry job the worn/thin metal with crud thrown in brought out the masters touch to get it done right. It's all the little tricks (eg leaving the tab on the plate cut) you've learned that make this channel gold.
Thanks again Isaac it doesn't need to be a huge tower crane or drilling machine it all comes down to watching You repair something that needs your touch however small or huge . A repair is a repair and without your wit and humour it would be a boring video . Many thanks always something to learn from you .😊
I'm 71 and just subbed today. I thought it was time to put my meager welding experience to the test and learn more from you. Your little everyday tips really help us newbies. Thank you.
Looking forward to Your upcoming content Issac. These smaller jobs are interesting and help You pay the bills. Thanks again for the time and effort You spent on the video. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends.
There is so much little advice you give that has made my life better. LOVE your videos! I'm gonna watch for a few then go out and practice more welding. Thank you!
Track torch is a great fabricating tool. I also used a hose clamp to hold the plasma torch to it for straight cutting. Zip tie trigger on and straight lines happen every time!
Hey Issac, I'm rebuilding the lift frame for my little dump truck. Two days cutting away the crap welded on top of crap! Used the flux wire for the clean stuff and my old Miller for the iffy stuff. I came in for breakfast and have about another hour to complete welding. Thanks for all the knowledge shared!😊
I love my old school track torch. I haven't left a gap at the start .what a simple but great idea..can't wait to try it.....don't worry I will give you the credit 😂 when I show the boys at our shop....it proves at 67 years old. You can teach a old dog a new trick 😊 thanks brother
Nice refurbish, a coat of paint and those neat welds makes it look brand new. I am always amazed at your understanding of these weldments and knowing what they need to be serviceable again. Enjoyed, cheers!
All of your projects both great and small are worth watching, Isaac, because there is always something interesting to see or points to learn. AND, you do not ruin your videos with silly obtrusive "music"!
Always learn something from every one of your videos. Especially like some of the jigs and fixtures you use when you’re setting up your work. Thank you for continuing to post these, Isaac. Stay safe. Have fun. Whipple
I deal with a lot of trapped dirt like that, The only thing you can do sometimes is do your best horrible weld to get it sealed then clean it up grind off any lumps and then put a nice pass over the top. Occasionally if its really horrible I will patch it over after Ive welded with a 3/8ths band so that the base of the weld practically meets in the middle. Thats shown the longest repair life for seperation lines that I have done anyway. I like these little fix up jobs (I like the banana jobs too) they take some changes in approach to welding and some fabrication that is interesting to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for providing interesting content and educating your audience. It’s always a bit surprising to notice that welding and cutting is such an audible driven experience and how much sensory feedback you get from hearing. You can hear when a torch tip needs to be touched up. I’d bet that someone who cuts frequently can even hear the differences in torch tips and regulator settings.
Yes indeed. You can see and hear small differences in the torch flame and even in the welding arc puddle. Back when I used to stick weld everyday, You can tell the difference between 1-2 amps.
Morning Isaac, 5.00am here in merry old England, I'm just up, enjoying a hot coffee before I head out to my shop, and your latest video pops up in my feed, what a great way to start my weekend 🎉 Proper job as always, thanks for sharing buddy
Hello Issac, Good to see you are not loafing around. Me neither, I just don't put in as many hours as I used too. That translates into everything takes longer, so I'm backed up with all of my pet projects. I have adopted your "spot welding" technique to bridge thin areas and gaps. It has saved me a bunch of problems. Thank Ya Big Daddy.!!!!!! 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 Your approach as always, portrays that the simple approach still works!!!!!! Go Get Em Isaac. You are still using gas to cut. Does that mean plasma isn't less expensive? Acetylene went crazy here and I gave up my tanks. I enjoyed the under shot with the camera. Sure would be embarrasing to cut the ends off your fork lift..... LOL
All of that is nice welding, as usual, but I figure the bit right at 24:58 is some of the most important part of being a good welder. ("Be nice if I could put a diagonal piece, but it's really not going to bend, so why do all that extra work?") There's a saying in my field that computer program lines that don't exist don't don't have bugs in them, and it's the same idea. Thanks for showing us the small project as well as the big ones. Learned several things from this one.
31:00 You are the first person besides myself who I have seen use a grinder the way lol If there are many bits to do Ill put the trigger lock on the grinder and clamp it down in the vise
Thank you for taking the time to video and share your experience with us. very much enjoy your videos, knowing how long it takes to do the extra work in order to share with us.
I learn something with each of your videos and this was not boring to watch, at least for me. I did not know about the AR steel you used for the blade and watching that track set up for the cutting torch is cool and the edge it leaves is fantastic. Thanks for the videos.
I kept seeing that rock that was stuck the hole, and I wondered if you were going to leave it in there. That kind of stuff bugs me, so I was really relieved when you took it out. 😂😅
I keep an old 185 Lincoln around an always has a 10lb spool of 30thou flux core for those dirty separation spots. People make fun of the lil 220 lows special when I drag it out. But it’s handy as hell. I even throw it on the 4 wheeler or side by side with a generator to take into places I can’t get my truck to get people or equipment out
There's one more thing you need to do that blade install and receiver tube. You would be surprised how easy it makes to move trailers around. Too late now it is already on its way to the custom. Just a suggestion for the future

@@Frank-Thoresen Add in Cutting Edge Engineering and you have my 4 favorite channels!
Tracing out the flat bar to make duplicate angle cuts was genius. Thanks for the great video.

I got a good chuckle when you exclamed "whoa that's pretty thin". We've all been there.

The best and most informative welding channel on TH-cam!

I haven’t done any welding since 1985 when I left the farm, it certainly has changed
Your work ethic is the best part of the video.
Thank you Sir
Soap outline to match those coupons was a cool trick.

A repair is a repair and without your wit and humour it would be a boring video . Many thanks always something to learn from you .😊
Brilliant as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Isaac,
I do believe you might be the sharpest spoon in the drawer.
Please continue...
Rabid fan.
Such beautiful wavy, "swimming" welds! Absolutely gorgeous!!
I find it amazing how clean a cut the torch can preform.
First non-miracle required job we’ve seen in a while. Thanks for sharing, as always enjoy your videos.
25s and already likes for the professionalism you show for welding, you so us so much.
I'm 71 and just subbed today. I thought it was time to put my meager welding experience to the test and learn more from you. Your little everyday tips really help us newbies. Thank you.
6:15 Fun to watch, nice camera work
What we are looking at here is the most patient welder on TH-cam. Those passes over the line were very challenging and he nailed it!
Thanks for the close up welds. I know it's harder, but I enjoy it a lot.
Isaac, so glad you’re back.
Looking forward to Your upcoming content Issac.
These smaller jobs are interesting and help You pay the bills.
Thanks again for the time and effort You spent on the video.

I came in for breakfast and have about another hour to complete welding. Thanks for all the knowledge shared!😊
Fluxcore wire works pretty good for most rusty stuff. Really handy wire.
Nice job! Man, all the cracks I tackle are always full of mulch and water. I feel for yuh.
Nothing fancy, he says!! Well I think so! :D
Just awesome to see the plasma cutter moving by itself making a nice straight edge!
Dang. That's some wear on that blade!!
Considering most of them can barely get out of their own way I have never seen that kind of wear on one. Little nuts.
I love my old school track torch. I haven't left a gap at the start .what a simple but great idea..can't wait to try it.....don't worry I will give you the credit 😂 when I show the boys at our shop....it proves at 67 years old. You can teach a old dog a new trick 😊 thanks brother
Nice work pard, clean and neat, until junk comes into play but not much you can do with it
I use three angle grinders, one each for cutting, grinding and wire brushing. Really makes a difference in downtime when constantly changing wheels.
Luego lo revisare por completo, gracias por ayudarnos con sus conocimientos. Saludos desde Ecuador - Guayaquil
I agree with the previous post: My favorite welding channel, always informative, done with a dry sense of humor.
That was a pretty cool job. You really beefed up that blade. I'd watch you try to build a piano! Great video!
Nice refurbish, a coat of paint and those neat welds makes it look brand new. I am always amazed at your understanding of these weldments and knowing what they need to be serviceable again. Enjoyed, cheers!
All of your projects both great and small are worth watching, Isaac, because there is always something interesting to see or points to learn. AND, you do not ruin your videos with silly obtrusive "music"!
With Asperger hypersensitivity, filler music is really an agitating annoyance.
Always learn something from every one of your videos. Especially like some of the jigs and fixtures you use when you’re setting up your work.
Thank you for continuing to post these, Isaac.
Stay safe. Have fun.

A true master of making strawberry jam out of pig shyt without sugar.👍
You use the torch like it’s unzipping the metal very good love you work

@@ICWeld hot and cold welds and those dreaded chink sounds of cracking.
Was thinking cap the holes also. Nifty nifty track torch and the tip on the tab is awesome and a pro move. 👌 Respect!
Love your vids and I don't even weld.
Issac another top notch repair. Just some paint and it looks factory made .
Morning Isaac, 5.00am here in merry old England, I'm just up, enjoying a hot coffee before I head out to my shop, and your latest video pops up in my feed, what a great way to start my weekend 🎉
Proper job as always, thanks for sharing buddy
I pick up pointers on everyone of your fantastic and educational videos.
Good prep and final weld - thanks for sharing
Always so humble, and great work.
Nice stitch work on those thin areas!
Be it a drill rig or a mini digger , I'm always learning from your videos and always enjoy watching .so thanks as always .
I like when you show these little jobs . I think they make a good video. Thanks

as usual excellent repair i am waiting for the broke banana those are very challengeing
Great work 👍🏼

Wow. Great tip on leaving that little bit of material on the edge so your piece does not warp. Great video as usual Isaac
Pretty thrilling to me.
Leaving the rock in there until the end was really testing my OCD! Haha
Thanks for taking the time. I enjoy watching your work.

You the man ICW
Fantastic job Isaac! You make it look so easy,but,i know its because you have thousands and thousands of hours welding.
Like always, good work!
I'm enjoying watching you and your work.
Whether a big complicated or small easier job, I always learn something.
I enjoy listening to your thought process
Might be a small job to you but I found it fascinating and informative. Great video thumbs up.
Slick work
Love your channel
Thanks! I learned something 😊
You the man Isaac! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. You are a master of what you do! Great video as always!
Great show. Learn something every time
Nice Job Issac! Great skill set.
That's a nice repair. Looking forward to the next one!
Enjoyed the video Isaac. Thank you.
Thank you for your time.
Looks like any cutting edge on heavy equipment I work on almost everyday
this device is absolutely brilliant
Greetings from Nacogdoches. Another great video.
