    I like how he expresses his doubts and fears. He's not afraid to tackle hard and new jobs. When he finishes, the jobs looks good and it all works out in the end. Sir, you continue to make these jobs look easy. Wish my welds looked that good, even after grinding.

    Probably cast steel vs cast iron since it welded up so nicely and didn't immediately crack after welding. Very creative solution. Your "I don't know if this is going to work, but I'll give it a shot" attitude + ingenuity = pretty awesome result." My hat's off to you Isaac.

      @@Frank-Thoresen There are several videos Isaac has done, but even he admits that any kind of cast is complicated to weld because the cast metal itself is full of impurities. Sometimes you are able to seal the impurities in the base pass of the weld and then just build on that, other times you have to grind, clean, and flux it to seal.

    An alternative and good method I found is to tack together and butter the iron surfaces with nickel. Once the iron is covered weld it out the rest of the way with mild steel. Works especially good in grooves and where steel repair parts are used. Or when you are running low on expensive nickel filler wire. Anyway in my experience what you are doing here should work well especially since you took the time to insure the parts are all on the same plane so when it's tightened down it will not pull too much on one side or the other. It also appeared that the nickel flowed in nice on the first try, that does not always happen. Great repair in my book. Cheers.

    Results were perfect. Repair was well thought out before just doing a patch job. Saved several thousands of dollars with repair such as this. Very impressive.

    Last I know and tried welding cast vertical is very difficult flat position preferred. Preheat and post heat is important to minimize thermal expansion and contraction to prevent cracking. Very well done repair nice machine work for a talented welder 👍

    • @artmario5429
      @artmario5429 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah on the heating. I think most cast will very brittle after welding due to chilling? Might look great and be brittle as glass?

    I am always impressed with you when you say that you not sure how it will turn out. But in the end the job looks like it was factory made. you are always very humble in your approach to all your projects. Wish you lived in South Africa or me in your area. I would have look you up and ask you to teach me to weld the way you do. Like it when that weld has a scale on it... 😃👍👌thank you Isaac for the cool videos you post 👍

    8:49 _I'm not a machinist._ Doesn't look like that to me Isaac. You are one talented man with an excellent sense of humour. Your videos cheer me up each time I watch them and the only time I have held a torch was cutting off exposed bolts and rebar in a very large concrete pour and was terrified for every second because little pieces of material kept exploding (I assume the rapid heating of moisture caused that) in my face. Safety wasn't a thing 41 years ago so no protective equipment supplied and man I feared for my eyes because you can't fly aeroplanes with damaged peepers. However, I still find your videos fascinating so *Thank You!* 👍

    I still say it - stick welders should never be dismissed. Might be a very old method of welding but they work.
    The finished result is superb. Definitely worth trying a fix on it.

      @@LynnHarris18 i agree with both of you. i,m 76 and been welding since then too.in repair work there is a need for both types. mig welders are more controllable than stick and you can almost make them talk. i resisted the need to get a mig for a long time too. now i would,nt be with out one. i,m afarmer so repairs are a regular occurence! it,s like computers--i did,nt get one till i was 70 --now i wish i had got one 25 yrs ago.! it,s the university of everything . if you want to know about anything it,s all on you tube
