      I make it a goal to never criticize ones efforts in repairing broken items in the field. I know exactly how difficult it can be. Their goal is to make the tool or machine last just a little bit longer to complete a job. And I know as with most anything else, if its been patched up, its good enough until the next time it breaks.

Great job Isaac, so much knowledge!Watching him deliver it to the customer was oddly moving,like delivering a newborn baby! Knowing that it will be going back to work and getting all chewed up again, back to see the dentist/ doctor when it’s teeth are worn out and it’s back is broken- I wish Isaac could repair my broken chassis like he does with other heavy equipment!🤣

Yeah ok.... as I leave I parked down the road and hid in the woods next to the site and recorded the rig jumping up and down... yeah doing your job... But hey I had a ball repairing them and they always gave gift cards on the holidays! I had a pulse welder with .45 wire. I turned the pulse off for my first pass and then turned it back on and ran really hot for the fill passes.

Told me you gotta watch this guy. I said I have known about you for twenty years or so (you know... before the internet was cool!) and that I do indeed watch your channel as well as follow your instagram adventures. When I told him we have spoken a few times about things on the phone several times over the years he was flabbergasted. Anyway you have two fans in NH for sure.!

    Nice job . Glad that you evened up the cutter edges on that auger , otherwise one side would cut while the other side skipped . Forty years ago I was doing something similar , but 1000 feet Underground , replacing the Bit Blocks & Bits on a Dual Head Voest-Alpine AM 75 Continuous Miner and on TWO Dosco Twin-Boom Continuous Miners . --- < Doc , Miner for over 50 years , Union Certified Top Millwright , Senior Underground Mine Maintenance Mechanic , Certified Welder - Fabricator > .

    Thanks Issac. Will be returning back to the states and starting a new welding fab and repair shop. Been a hobbyist welder for some time but will get certified. By the way I'm 55 so I figure I have another 20 years productivity in me. Your videos always get me fired up. Mainly will be doing ornamental gates, doors, railings, BBQ's and 4X4 accessories but definitely open to working on implements as well. Thanks again for your dedication and inspiration.

    You are a master of the art. Very informative and the rational thought as to why and how the job is accomplished. Thank you sir. Have been welding since the early 70s and I pick up great information that can be utilized .

    I learn more useful things about welding and fabricating from watching your channel than from most of the other welding channels on TH-cam put together. I just watch what you do and try to mimic it and my hot metalworking skills are getting a lot better. Thanks man, I truly appreciate you taking the time to show us greenhorns how to fix metal things.

    Your videos can never be long enough. It is a great delight to watch your excellent work and to hear your thoughts and rationale about solving problems. Thanks so much. Ironically, we had exactly the same problem with a post-hole borer. The auger refused to dig into even soft earth, and only upon turning it upside down and inspecting it was it apparent that the front lip had buckled in and was higher than the belly of the blade. All it would do is polish the earth!

    Is it just me or does anybody else want to see it put to work now that it's been modified and had the design improved?? Great job on the rebuild ... constantly impressed with your abilities and how precise you are with that torch! I'll admit, I might be just a tiny bit jealous! Maybe one day I'll get to be half as good with a Oxy Torch

    3:09-3:15.....Um NO, I won’t ever attempt to do something like that myself; but I appreciate the vote of confidence. I will just go ahead and watch YOU do it by yourself. Sometimes, I just look at something and say “well that ain’t happenin”. Oh, and we will watch every second of every minute; this is quality tv.
