only a welder would understand. I have used all kinds of things, Visegrips, piled up boxes, clamps etc. My favorite is a roller stand I bought to run wood through my thickness planer. It lost its job in the woodshop and is now on the welding trailer. LOL I can move it adjust its height and I actually like to role my forearm on the top roller so I can weld a longer stretch without having to stop.
Another enjoyable video. One of the reasons I like your channel so well among many is that you don't waste the viewers time. No long opening shenanigans or extraneous drone shots. I like that a lot as I have limited time to watch the many channels I am interested in and it helps maximize my time.

Isaac, I love how you share your reasoning and skills, yet always remain humble enough to understand how others might think an alternate method is “as good or better”. You are very very skilled yet humble. And that is usually the sign of a great man.
Great job young man. Curious as th why you did a kind of spot weld technique at the sharp end of the ear? I like the use of the adjustable spanner being used as a prop too. I have used Mig on plenty of bucket repairs and not one customer has come back and said there has been any problems. To be fair, I would venture to say most attachment, bucket and machine manufacturers use Mig to make their products anyway. Top quality stuff as usual!
Hello Isaac. Welding around the pins with the mig torch held vertical & the nozzle pointing straight down. Consider a means of supporting the cable to reduce the small radius it’s been forced into. Also many mig machines have a detachable wirefeed & control unit. Hoist it up on the crane to let the welding touch dangle. Will reduce the bends and straighten the wirefeed liner.

I C WELD, Thanks for this down to earth, comprehensive, repair knowledge, Thanks for your time you have invested, doing these videos and, teaching or passing the knowledge you have aquired.
Having the confidence to just go for it was how I started welding. Gotto say overall its the best way for me to learn anything...try it then if I have a problem ask questions. One of the many things your videos do, because you cover a wide range of heavy steel, is answer a lot of questions. So Thankyou very much...I reckon I could do that .... Probably not as tidy as yours yet but it would stay on ...... No worries
Great work as always !! Years ago I used weld buckets like that for production welding ......I miss it every day .....just go under that hood and burn wire I loved all those big heavy welds ....people thought I was crazy they always said that's hot work ....I always said it's rewarding work !! Great video as always !!👍👍
On TH-cam search for a channel named 'bucket factory' They are in Saint Petersburg Russia, their real name is in Russian letters/Cyrillic. ЗАВОД КОВШЕЙ / BUCKET FACTORY You might find it interesting.
Kool , you may hafta " 'splain" for some , this bucket set up for excavator with QC , or quick coupler system ..... definitely fun , when a plan comes together
Definitely wouldn’t of used short arc on the. I work for WB and we make all types of buckets and we use spray but hey your clearly do something right so. Not be hateful just saying lol. Love the videos would. My dream is to move to Texas and do what your doing but I’m stuck in Ohio.
I just want to commend you on your professionalism I watched another guy yesterday melting medal moron or something well I watch him cover a guarter sized hole in really thin metal pretty much sheetmetal with a 10”x10” x 1/4 inch metal
I often find myself cutting with a wheel on a grinder,and I have plasma and torches! I dont know why,I guess i just always revert to what I started with!
When a friend of mine sold his Kuboya dealship thye just took all the stuff that didn't have a part # on it and scrapped it. There where pins, bushings and all kinds of stuff. but the nicest thing was really cool jib for setting up these buckets ears . it is pretty nice
For anybody who wants to weld better, study the torch angles. See how he burns into the puddle. See how he favors the thicker metal. It isn't just spraying glue on top. It is burning into the metal and letting it cool with the shielding gas keeping the oxygen out. Great job! Very penetrating, I was glued to every minute.
I C WELD - Wouldn’t it be better to bevel the weld seams and weld all the way through the joints to get a 100% bond? From experience the mini excavators are put to more work and more stress because they are more versatile and easier to transport from job to job!
True, however, I was copying the amount of weld that was on the original part when I separated the two pieces. Smaller machine = less strength + same size welds, should be good.
What brand of shirts are you wearing? You seem to be doing well regarding spark protection. I'm in a very humid shop, and I pour sweat the first half of the day.
nice to listen and watch someone talking you through steps of prep i am not a tradesman welder i dont likestudy so i learnt bywatching boilermakers and fitter welders tradesmen and eventually was able to deal with it not much good withstick welding but to late in life to change anything thanks for thepost
The job looks perfect to me! I wonder about preheating beforehand. That is with the assumption that the steel in the bucket is not mild steel but something more like T-1. In the past, I've welded T-1 with no problems. It's always been said that T-1 is hard to weld, lots of preheat, can't weld T-1 to mild steel, etc. MIG and flux-core always seemed to be as good as rod. Have never had a failure where rod would have held.
You can also clean a grinding disk that's loaded with metal by touching it on a spinning pedestal grinder, you can also sharpen it with this method as well.. cheers
I used to have to tell people that the weld is only as strong as the thinnest metal I am welding to. But if they wanted more I just put more weld on there. It all pays the same. LOL
Excellent tip about grinding wheels. I have that very problem with the wheel I use for sharpening my mower blades. I guess I’m not able to press hard enough on the light blade. I’ll give your fix a try. Thx!
I've never used an adjustable wrench for an arm rest, what a great idea.. looks great.
Nice tid-bit. Definitely keep that one in mind.

I been around guys in the trades and crafts my whole life, (70) and this the first I have seen it. Very clever!

I hope you have found CEE channel...
I appreciate that!

Nice job. I wonder if the spacer was difficult to remove after the welding pulls things in.
It slid out ok. not bad
Congrats at going over 100k subs Issac. I remember joining your channel when you had around 2k.
Never thought of the shifting spanner thanks cheers from Australia
Best tip you could ever give someone “ have confidence in yourself “ thank you 🙏 for the tip hope they did “” dig it “”😂😂

Yes totally agree with this, Isaac is a great man indeed 👍
Excellent content and music sir. Thank you!!!
Nice job ! I like that new tonya hardin steady rest / knee buster lol Those crescent wrenches do more then tighten bolts !

I accidentally trimmed too much and had a big gap.
@@ICWeld Ahh OK, I will let you off.
That was pretty nifty how you used the adjustable wrench as an armrest. I would never think about doing something like that.
The cool little things that you learn by watching others! I would have never thought of that on my own either lol
He's done that a time or two, huh?
I'm doing the same on a few buckets now. A machine would be proud of those welds.
It's pretty sick how quickly the plasma cutter cuts through that thick plate and very precise cuts as well!
You ain't shittin! Buzzed right thru 3/4 plate...

Whe're not building piano's, right? Love you attitude and video's. 💪👍🏻
Ok. I "dig it". Good video. Thanks.
"C" clamps, vice grips, I guess I need a big F@@@@@@ crescent wrench....looks great
Kool , you may hafta " 'splain" for some , this bucket set up for excavator with QC , or quick coupler system ..... definitely fun , when a plan comes together
Wanted: Piano builder, must have minimum five years welding experience, lol.
Another fantastic job Isaac,thanks for bringing us along
I am always fascinated by watching you work. Excellent!!
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Plasma cutters have come a long way from the days of my Powermax 800 of 1996. Might have to upgrade soon!

Great job and vid thank you for making this vid
Cheers from Nova Scotia
Simple things end up being genius , got to like the use of adjustable wrench. Have a great day
We are not building pianos...right?...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can also buy a wheel dressing stick to clean /ReSharper those glazed grinding wheels.
I just want to commend you on your professionalism I watched another guy yesterday melting medal moron or something well I watch him cover a guarter sized hole in really thin metal pretty much sheetmetal with a 10”x10” x 1/4 inch metal
I would be using .045 flux core wire and not micky wire !!
Never had or heard of that grinding wheel problem before but always good to learn something new :)
if you keep playing with that plasma torch your preferences will change.
I often find myself cutting with a wheel on a grinder,and I have plasma and torches! I dont know why,I guess i just always revert to what I started with!
Nice job I always learn something
Thank you
Ahhh, good o''ll crescent wrench and it's many many uses.👍👍
When a friend of mine sold his Kuboya dealship thye just took all the stuff that didn't have a part # on it and scrapped it. There where pins, bushings and all kinds of stuff. but the nicest thing was really cool jib for setting up these buckets ears . it is pretty nice
Rex Cut Sigma Green wheels are awsome,give them a try!If I had your info id send you some!
You joke but I am really old-school with the torch but am learning plasma and starting to love it because of less clean up.
Love to watch you weld and fabricate its slick ? but not as Slick as that lady on your welding hood ? See Ya'll
Neat job as always. Great to see a pro sharing his knowlage. 😃😃
Thanks for all the tips and tricks....it’s appreciated!
I always learn something from your videos. 👍
Your close enough not building pianos made me laugh, an old boss would say close enough not building a church.
got a buddy that always gives me crap about torching i prefer a torch over plasma ive just always been that way
Great work, I enjoy watching to see your final results.
Have a great day!
Semoga hari mu senin terus guru
I use my plasma more often because I have no idea how much it costs to run. And I would have to drive two hours to get gas.

Hi I'm watching from south korea. Nice video. Thank you !!
Thank you too!
Gotta say, that plasma is the nuts for trimming.
Nice color inside plenty of heat good job
I dug it, another project on my bucket list 😉👍
Great Job ✨✨✨Love your videos brother 💪💪💪
Nice Vid. did you get a new camera? the video quality is excellent
Hi Issac,
Always enjoy watching your welding skills.
another awesome video Thank you
Scott
Great grinder tutorial along with the welding 101 instruction!
muy buen trabajo saludos desde Corrientes Argentina
I have used a block of wood to clean off grinding disc. Especially when grinding galvanized steel
Torch will work with out electricity.
Neat idea using an adjustable wrench as an arm rest, Thanks!
I like your use of a wrench for an arm rest. I think I'm going to buy a Harbor Freight wrench and make the handle parallel to the jaws.
Nice work 👏
Another awesome video
Thank you

This channel should be rated R for all that weld porn
I use plasma for sheet metal, small and quick projects in shop. Gas axe for heavy metal cutting or removal.
I have 16 inch bucket iam getting ready to do this to .Using that cresent wrench for arm support is great idea .

I mostly use LAPCO shirts but I have a couple of wrangler ones in the mix.

I LOVE THE JIBBER JABBAAA!!!!!! ITS MY FAV!!!!
Nice work as always and thanks for the grinder tips. Great video.
thanks for the tips...great video
I’ll come home tired from work -and welding all day plus traffic and find some relaxation watching the boss making it look easy, 👍🏽
Thank for another good video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Too many think their knowledge is a secret. Keep those videos coming.
You must be a master at shooting with those steady hands.
Need 10 or 12 glasses. Plasma-welding. Those 5’s won’t due.
Correct. I say at least a No.8 or 9 shade. That light is Bright!!
You can also clean a grinding disk that's loaded with metal by touching it on a spinning pedestal grinder, you can also sharpen it with this method as well.. cheers
I used to have to tell people that the weld is only as strong as the thinnest metal I am welding to. But if they wanted more I just put more weld on there. It all pays the same. LOL
good point.
Excellent job once again always enjoy your vlogs , you make welding look so easy
👍 I dig it! You always make it look easy.
Exactly right on the grinding disc
Nice welding again Issac. Now the customer can use his new to him buckets.
I love the way you treat every job with so much attention to detail. There are no small or simple jobs, just jobs done right. Thanks
great job i really enjoy your videos plain and simple
these videos are very calming
Always nice to watch your projects, we dig it! and so do those buckets. Jajaja
15:56 GREAT Shot.. Thank you!
not used to seeing you not use stick....
Excellent tip about grinding wheels. I have that very problem with the wheel I use for sharpening my mower blades. I guess I’m not able to press hard enough on the light blade. I’ll give your fix a try. Thx!

This work is better than factory
Excellent work
