these guys really love their equipment. I don't think there are many companies that bother with repairing dented bumpers.
Keeping a good man busy.
I was about to say the same thing, who cares if the bumper is slightly dented?
I'm thinking if they show respect for their equipment, it may carry over to the operators. The culture starts at the top.
@@messybenchAgree 100%, broken windows (bumper) = broken business. I must admit, I was a tad surprised that they got "that" repaired, but respect!
If they really loved their equipment they wouldn't hire hammerheads that keep smashing it up in the first place !!!
I appreciate your pride in your work and attention to detail. The amount of that work one puts into repairing a painted bumper on a +20 ton tractor says a lot about their integrity. You are a credit to your profession.
Totally agree!!
I'm surprised the owner cares about a few little dents on the bumper of an earthmover. Love your channel/videos. Subscribed!
Can someone answer why this would be the case ? I doubt it is just for "looks". There must be a security/performance reason to do this.
@@franciscoceruti4379 The only reason I could think for 'looks' would be that the owner was considering selling them.
A bit of filler compound would be cheaper, tho. Has to last only until sold ;-D Welding a hook to it and pulling the dents out, with another bulldozer/excavator, while heating the metal with oxyacetylene, would be the easiest, good solution, IMO.
The only time I've seen someone do this was when they are torn down to rebuild the whole unit. Never for some cosmetic dents.
Factory refurbished perhaps?
That trick with the wire is brilliant. Thanks for showing us.
Those imperfections will just blend in for what it's intended for. Damn good work.
Well done on your informative videos. I especially appreciate your vocal delivery: steady easy voice. Not screeching or loud. No four-letter words too. Also thank-you for not having annoying background music. You explain why you are doing the welds in a certain way. You truly have mastered your craft. Many thanks. I will continue watching your videos.
It’s nice to see a company take pride in their equipment
More like the equipment is headed to auction or is a lease turn in. You put those scrapers back to work and those bumpers will be dented again in just a few days. I've fixed quite a few in my days. That goes for the push block on the rear also.
@@badger305 That's what I thought too but then he mentions that he's done the same machine before so it must be a pretty regular thing.
@@badger305 That would explain it!
I think it's during the shutdown. The company finds some jobs to do for their welders
Most people don't have pride in their cars they drive.
Attention to detail. That's why I assume that you are successful! I like that your customer is concerned with how his/her equipment looks. Got to stay on top of it. Looked great, nice work. Keep it up.
I really love you field guys, you’re used to working by yourself so you kinda look at jobs differently and I had not seen the wire used for the angle development, that was very simple but very clever. I’ve said it before in other jobs you’ve done that you take great pride in your work, both structurally and visually, something you should be very proud of young man as it’s a credit to your skill.
Thank you!
This customer must want to send these machine to auction. Maybe the one with the crack front was the only one in need for repair to prevent rust. That's a great job as usual!
Not auction. These are his money makers. He likes them to look nice.
As always great detail work. I love watching you work...Your attention to detail and your pride in your work!
I love your attention to detail and the pride you you have in your workmanship it’s really hard to find that these days. Great job
“IC Weld” and yourself are true masters of the trade! Every video is inspiration. Keep up the great work boss!
I sense your more an artist / sculpture who works with metal Beautiful work
I like your professional work!
I'm addicted to these vids and come from a family of metal fabricators. Great material, keep it up, please.
Very nice demonstration on how to find an angle! Thomas, Welder, Mississippi!!
I am glad you expose air tank this biggest design cat problems because the rock and hard dirt or stuck bad angle.i saw before bent very bad.good repair and video.calgary,alberta.canada
I can't help but comment about how whoever drives these machines could care less about how they abuse them. If these people had buy these machines , if they would still beat the heck out them the way they do. Can't get over the give a s**t less attitude they have. Great job and video. I like watching you work, you take pride in a job well done.
Nice work. Your pride shows in the end product.
Wow. Welder fabricator. And now paint and body work. Love it. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for that trick you did with the tig wire to get your miter on the channel
You do great work! Im sure you dont need me to tell you that, you already know 😊 Its nice to see a company taking care of their equipment. Some companies wouldn't be bothered to fix stuff like that.
Nice work, I could watch this all day. Love the wire angle trick for getting the right cut.
Just enjoy watching you fix things and explain what you doing
Hot Sufuric Acid for that pickle juice....then a neutralize bath in a caustic and then a water rinse then oil.....
Making this great quality of job and considering the posture you have to cope with is absolutely astonishing.
Hi everyone, greetings from Brazil.
Love watching your videos you are very good at explaining what you are doing
Great videos! It's a pleasure watching someone with talent such as yours.
Your a touch neater then most other welders on the KZhead.
The owner of this iron is the type of guy I’d love working for! Wants his equipment treated well so you know he has good stuff.
Superb work, as usual! I'm always picking up very useful tips and tricks watching such experts work their magic. One thing is certain, I'm getting a plasma cutter!
Hey Greg, thanks for these videos, this is one of my favorite new YT channels. Learning about big equipment, fabrication, techniques, and engineering in general. You’ve got a great way of explaining things and a no BS attitude (no “like and subscribe” just let quality speak for itself)
I enjoy the work on the scrapers the most.
Awesome job and I’ve learned a few things from ya since you started making videos. I appreciate it . Thank you for sharing your experience and your work with us. 🎉
Welding, fabricating and even heavy bodywork...nice! 😂👍👍👍
I'm 100% learning all the tricks and steps you use for welding... going to use those later!
You inspire me to strive for absolute top quality end results on my work! Your completed jobs are just as good, often better than factory. Good work.
Your Looking at a Master at his Craft. Nowadays, you rarely see that.
Looks almost factory dude...great job. Love watching your vids, thanks for making them.
Great vid. Fantastic attention to detail!
I really like the detail you put into your work. Very Nice.!
Another classic in the field video from OFW-love the pride and attention to detail in your work. Thanks for sharing with us.
Greg, You truly are a master!! I really appreciate the love you give to each and every job you do!! I sure wish you were closer to Petaluma, I’d sure love to learn from you!! Great videos, Pal!! If you ever come this way, look me up and I’ll show you my equipment, and get some ideas from you!! Thanks again, Vic!!
Looks perfect to me! Its exciting to watch how you do your work, love it
Excellent work, as always! Thanks for sharing.
Love watching your videos. What a cool job you have.
You are really a Master!
Nice work! Looks like the owner take good care of it's ownings. 👍
Looks as good as factory. If I was an owner dunno if I would care aboutr those repairs. But those Cali boys move some earth and know there is some pride there.
Great repair as always... thanks for sharing
I love your attention to details especially when it comes to protection and containment like covering those hydraulic cylinders that weren't really in the welding area... better safe than sorry. Its also great how you fix all the little stuff that I'm sure wasn't in your original bid kind of like your working on your own equipment.
Those bumper repairs look factory and the turned out good .Great work ...Thanks
Beauty! Thanks for sharing your work 👍
You do great stuff and right way . Dam cool videos sir!!
You do fine work Sir. As a fabricator and engineer, I find only the true experts to learn from. You are a master craftsman and I thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
Once again awesome work! Thanks for the videos!!
You handle that plasma torch like it was the index finger on your hand... Amazingly steady!!! Great video's - a lot to take away from your expertise!
“A lot to take away from your expertise”- I like that comment!
It’s great to see the pride you take in your work! and the perfection that you thrive for your eye for perfection and detail is amazing! You do awesome work and it’s a pleasure watching your videos !excellent video! keep up the great work!👍🏼🤩🫡
Excellent video. Really appreciate how you explained everything you used and why.
gotta love that hand held lightning at 3 minutes.......
You made making those angles easy, I am not a fabricator just weld and repair things on the ranch, but dang angles are a pain for me. Enjoy watching your videos.
this dude is so good he should have his own KZhead channel... I would totally subscribe
I'm not a welder at all. I like your channel because you put pride in your work, and you do really good work. I keep coming back for more.
I happen to just come across this video of you. As John said I’m surprised they would bother on those bumpers. Your work is detailed and excellent. Like you I had a friend that was a perfectionist and his welds were like artwork. I think 55k people will reaffirm your work and detail. Keep up the pride,pace and work ethic. Now a days it’s in short supply.
I work industrial Maintenance, and went to school for tool and die machining. I have recently learned to mig and I absolutely love this channel it mixes the finesse of metal working with the brute of big machinery. On my days off I spend at least two hours watching your videos a day. Please don't ever stop making these videos their informative and very much enjoyable to watch. Maybe someday I'll get to have the opportunity to step into your line of work. In the future would you make some instructional videos or tips and tricks that work with you personally? I'm sure many would enjoy seeing that. Thanks again for the videos and great work!
Great tip on putting on plenty of weld before you start the blending. I once saw a guy who was trying to save on the blending spend literally hours welding in the low spots and regrinding. Still came out looking like…., well, you know.
Just to be pedantic, grinded is not a word. Love your videos.
Nice process… very helpful for us shade tree welders
When doing compound angles like that they sell something called an angle bevel, or T-bevel, you set one edge up and then you can move and lock the over edge or “arm” on a hinge and it’ll take your angles to convert over to your workpiece, most have a nice handy square edge. Great investment for this kind of work. Love the content
Good job! I like the wire angel trick. :)
When you explained how you were matching factory welds I was impressed
Excellent work! You have some serious welding and cutting skills! Bet you about tired of the rain in Socal! :)
Just found your channel today. My third video. I think that bolt was one of the new quick release type 😊
Thanks for the tip on weld torch make. I’ll check it out, have tweeko style now, feels so small lol.
AS an owner I say, NICE job,
Really nice filming. The equipment looks new. No wonder why they want to keep it looking new.
Great job! And video! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍
Wow beatiful vary good 👍🏻💯💯
I've been watching your videos for a while I just subscribed. I watch because you take such pride in what you do and that's rare today I'm a retired hard rock miner Northern Ontario.
Keep up the good work young man.
I love the 3M 36 grit I use them everyday great choice
Excellent work!
I never learned the push pull technique on these scrapers, looks fun though and it has to be mentally exhausting timing all the controls on Q allowing for a seamless movement during the cut. Takes practice for sure. Good Channel welder and your work speaks for itself.
Good work with that plasma torch amazing that you can keep it a good distance away and still take off layers of metal never seen one with that ability usually have to keep them pretty close to do anything and if it’s for April fools it’s vinegar otherwise for P&O steel it’s Diluted hydrochloric acid bath used to work with coils Continued success Fabrizio
mighty fine work.
Beautiful job. It is perfect in my book. Job security.
Great work young man!
Great job!😊
Another interesting challenge. Thanks for sharing with us your experiences of the work done. Greetings from Poland 🙂
great professional I admire the care and perfection
It’s a work of art
A few months ago I had the opportunity to be trained on a 613 and 623. In the beginning I thought the 13 was awesome to drive hahaha...man the 23 when I moved up to that one drove like a Cadillac 😂😂. Hated being bounced out of the seat every 2 minutes though. Our boss wanted 15 loads an hour. Not hard to hit actually after a little practice. But fk driving these machines. Nice work welder
You do nice work. I think I watched a video of yours last year. It was a scraper like the one here. It was destroyed on right corner. You had to replace catwalk bumper and exhaust system and air cleaner .Think it hit a bridge abutment while being hauled on a lowbed.
Nicely done,, clean, tidy! Cheers!;-)!!
Is there any particular reason to do these cosmetic repairs like this? Seems like a lot of work to remove some dents on a machine that will get dented again in a few months.
This particular customer likes their machines to look nice. I think they might also back charge the damage to the last person who rented it.
@@OFW makes sense to me.....
@@OFW I was just about to ask the same thing. Rental machines makes all the sense in the world. Why not fix it, when somebody else is paying? 😂
@@OFW Oh I see. This is owned by a rental company. That makes more sense.
@@gradywray5391 Kinda borderline to charge for this damage on a rental, but then again they ran into a bit more than a marshmallow to bend this. Either way, it helps pay for welding jobs...
Amazing craftsmanship
Better then factory:) Nice job!
Great job.
No scabby workmanship here ... very solid job on those mate
