Makes me happy seeing you teach your boy, he's a lucky dude. Learning from the best welder/fabricator I've personally ever seen. Who happens to be his pops.
I really appreciate you posting all these videos. I’m just a hobby welder and I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks to you for spending the extra time.
You are an artist. Simple, clean and more importantly exactly what some engineer would draw up and engineer. I love watching you work when your customer s will let you really ‘fix’ the issues.
Isaac, I think the patch panels were a definite improvement to the factory design. The stress point is now distributed over a broad area. I don’t think you can do any better with what you had available to work with. I’m sure the wheels will fall off that trailer long before your repair fails. Nice work!
This is the difference between someone with tremendous welding skill and the capacity for critical thought and, well...whoever attempted to fix it the last time. It looked like it was "fixed" at least twice. Isaac is becoming a rarity. A heck of a lot of people can weld with the best of them and totally suck at fab work and vice versa.
He could solve the stresspoint by mounting 2 diagonals. Now it's still a lot of stress in the middle of these 2 beames. Who ever designed this did not a good job.
I love how you teach your son the trade and how he works with you out in the field that time you spend with him is very precious and special you are a good father we need more people like you in the world. And you take a lot of pride in your work and it shows the quality in the end results.
I’m just a hobbyist welder like so many others but I love watching you work and problem solve on the fly. So smart and makes more sense than what was originally planned and built for such a trailer. Thanks for sharing all you do.
“This is pretty bad.” Yeah, there’s also a bit of water between the Americas and Europe. 🤣 Your standard technical professional understatement. Something I always like about Isaac that shows how much of an experienced professional he is. He admits when a plan is one he doesn’t like but accepts it will do the job well enough and does it. He has his preferences but will not treat them as scripture.
Very nice work Isaac, those welds look amazing! I'm glad you're back uploading your regular repair videos! There's nothing like a genuine man putting his skills to practice :)
Excellent work and a case of what I call Okie Engineering. Okie Engineering - the art of making what you need from things you have on hand without compromising quality. Well done!
Good Job !!! Replacing both the top & bottom RHS with thicker walled RHS would just add a lot of unnecessary weight and that stuff isn’t cheap. I think everything you did was spot on. Inserting the tab behind the hydraulic ram fixing was a good idea. When the trailer is fully loaded that ram fixing becomes the point of greatest load. The channel was reusable and I think the locking tongue will wear out before your repair work does. Utilize what you have and you did so to great effect.
Work harden is the description you were searching for bossman. Love your work. I turn 57 tomorrow and I’m trying to convince myself I am not to old to start doing what you do for living.
I know this was posted over a year ago, but i didn't see a latch for the tread plate you installed, unless i missed it. But at any rate, great job! I'm learning a lot from your videos. Very educational and entertaining 👍🏻 Thank you for what you do
17:30 I learn that tacks are really strong after a hack welded my gate fence panels up. There was 2 tiny tacks holding a 4x4 gate and all the rest of the weld was on only 1 piece. The slag looked like it connected the two but after removal there was nothing. The two tacks held for months and the gate never moved. I ended up buying a welder and doing a better job my first go around.
I like how you always insulate yourself when kneeling so as not to get burned knees. Those little ball of molten steel are murder! I learned the same lesson quickly.
Glad to see you filled that hole above the horizontal bracket. Had me bothered for a few minutes. Like you that crappy looking weld across the vertical piece you had to shorten looks pretty rough but as long as it works you don't have to buy an entire stick or 4 inch channel. Entertainment is great but making 'pretty' can get into the profit margin and then there will be no more entertainment when the doors close from being without profit. Good Job brother. You work hard and smart. That is all we can do
In your situation, having told him you would have it done that day, I don't think it could or should have looked any better. Strength where it needed it and the design flaws were overcome. AND it looks nice.
I really appreciate the truck video. You're inspiring me to drag my old f350 out of the weeds, get my sae400, compressor, and a couple job boxes bolted down and go to work like i shouldve done years ago. I have the equipment, welding, and millwright experience to do something similar to you but I've been worried about the business side and keeping busy. I need to jump in head first and do it. Keep up the good work.
Lightening Scissors (Plasma Cutter) are the best... We've worked on a trailer like that and the same thing happened. Took the center post out like you did....but, we heard a "bong".. after 'another' inspection and some measuring... the trailer was out of Whack, and had a bend in the frame... reassembly consisted of; Chain come-along, tie-down straps and a 12lbs of persuasion. we fixed it and it rolled true. Week later we saw it for sale.... go figure Great work IC.
Isaac you impress me again and again with your understanding of the engineering in these structural aspects of your repairs. When you retire please come to Georgia and teach the engineering dept of our local trade/industrial school. Not nearly enough young people are learing to work with their hands and their brains, Good job brother. Keep on keeping on
Great idea. Kneel on your needle scaler or strap so you don't get red hot bee-bees burning your knees. Repair looks good. Much better than the previous repairs.
Those trailers amaze me. I was suprized to see how poorly designed that crossmember was. No doubt your patch is a big improvment. Excellent work! Cheers
I have a airtow trailer and I couldn't live without it, you can roll everything straight on and off. My local metal supply has a remnant section and it usually has most sizes of tubing in 5 to 6 foot lengths so it makes repairs easy when only a small amount is needed.
good analysis, good approach with the press bent plates,provides a nice clean look and good support..great idea on the internal tubing brace/bridge for the pull eye.Well done.A++
While his internal bridge made the whole push/pull point stronger, had he welded the bridge, , even a tack, to the bottom of the tubing it would have been significantly stronger yet. Having said that it was a pretty good idea and overall, a great repair. The whole thing is stronger than the day it was made and will likely not fail at that point again.
I'm looking forward to when you start taking on simpler jobs like this and letting Jr run the show. I'm sure he does plenty on his own, but letting him call out problems and work through what led to the fault would be cool to see. This is the kind of upbringing I had (heavy diesel repair with a large side of welding. less repair and more fab, but it all ties in if you understand how things work).
I have the same trailer that had the same exact issue. I wish this video came out a couple months earlier because it puts my repair to shame! Lol. Thank you for putting out these gems!
Great work you have some really great ideas on how to get things done you remind me a lot of my mentor who has gone to the great fab shop in the heavens
That’s funny … I was going to ask you re your old school helmet! Then you answered my question before I asked !! Because it reminded me of my first helmet in the 70’s … I have one of these new fangled jobs full face , flip up for grinding with an air pack for your belt etc … I got it on a job .. so didn’t pay for it !!! Not cheap ! 🤗
Like a surgeon, sometimes you have to cut out all the bad stuff to heal it up properly. Also nice to see a father teaching his son a useful, productive skill.
Sissor lifts both as lead type battery or gas-diesel are awkward to load to any ramp type trailer, in particular as rain or ice can make surfaces slickened. The design as working solve is very good, where I take note of the inside of the wheel wells, braced to any movement or incidental load shift. And these lifts get delivered to all sorts of job sites..grades...doorways. So a good design returned to working service. I'm betting a long interval as repaired. Thank you for the lesson as prepare to weldment. M.
Great repair. Perfect welds. Most people can weld the same piece over and over, but you weld everything all shapes and sizes. That knowledge does not come easy.
That was an interesting one, Isaac. Thank you. I felt your pain having to re-use that center piece. I have dealt with the steel yards not selling short pieces in the past, but sometimes they have drop bins that they will sell shorter stuff really cheap.
44:55 I was expecting you to add a latching point to match the other cover. I would be worried with freed up hinges, 70 mph and a good bump that new cover could open with a rather loud bang.
I like the patch angle, as you called out it is thicker and gives broader support on the load points. Great job , as always thanks for allowing us to follow along looking over your shoulder.
You know what; you have a really good work ethic that really shines through in the things you say and how you approach your work. I learned a lot by watching how you approached the repair, the decisions you made and the execution. Since I’m still a student (4 more months and I’m done with school), I find myself really studying what you’re doing and it’s so helpful especially because you tend to explain to your viewers what you’re doing and why. Thanks again for the great video, I learned a lot and appreciate your efforts.
Thank you. One of the things I learned over the years is to not overly stress about any repair project. It takes some time to get comfortable with your skills and abilities but each project is a building block of experience that can help you on your next one. Im glad these videos are helping. Thanks for the support.
@@PatrickKQ4HBD I love what you said because I know you are 100% right. As I think about it, there will always be something new to learn/explore (not only in welding but all aspects of life)🙂
@@ICWeld Thank you for sharing that little angle of wisdom there. Your helpful perspective is something that I will definitely keep in the forefront of my mind; especially when I inevitably get frustrated with myself for not doing "a better job".
Love to see you fixing things that are more common like this. I learn a lot from you but I can't always translate what I learn about replacing auger teeth to the light duty things I work on. Thanks !
Love this channel. Such a wide variety of material. Great ingenuity coupled with tremendous experience and skill. Learn so much here. Wish I had a gantry like that!
Isaac, I love your work. I'll get ragged out of the world for this comment but I hate to see you throw sparks at a battery like the one in the tongue of that trailer. I have had two batteries flat blow up on me, one I arced a wrench on a hold down clamp and other I threw sparks from an angle grinder twenty feet away. Sounds like a 12ga shot gun at close range. Fortunately nobody was hurt in either case. Please be careful everybody. Great video.
I agree, it won’t be back for this problem. Trust me it’ll be back they’ll probably overload it again & it’ll break somewhere else. Besides the builder build’s it as light as possible. It’s called job security.
Having that Scotchman or whatever it is, opens up a wider range of possibilities for doing a repair. This was a sanitary, dependable quick fix that should last the life of the trailer. I believe the customer should have been happy and probably at a price he liked also. That's what it's all about.
HEY MY FRIEND YOU DONE A AWESOME WELDING JOB WELL TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE A A WONDERFUL DAY AND WEEKEND KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WELDING AND I WILL SEE YOU ON THE NEXT VIDEO LATER SEE YA
I like the angle iron patch method and have used it many times for repairs and to fortify add-on's my self. The spot weld method of joining thin steel makes for less burn-through.

Same. He reminds me of my grandfather: Teaches, patient, witty, even Marty Robbins in the background.
Watching 3 generations working together is heart warming. Thanks for these videos! A great library of technical know-how.
I like how you explain the material vs repair. Its easy to forget you can't buy stock at the exact length you need. Work with what you got 👍👍
