Hey guys, sorry I hadn't posted in a while. Had some out of town jobs that took priority. Unfortunately they wouldn't allow me to film any of it, so that stinks. Here is a longer format weld repair of some work we were doing on a foundation drilling machine. These machines drill vertical shafts in the ground for pouring concrete as a base for building footings. Let me know what you think. There's more coming! Thanks for the support in advance and kick back and enjoy.
Just what you need Isaac, a ‘consultant’! The definition of a consultant is ‘a guy that borrows your watch then charges to tell you the time.’
Con + insult = consult.
but who is responsible for the correct time?
@@araofmadisoncasey4247 The person who owned the watch until he lends it to the ‘consultant’ who then makes it up as he goes along! 🥸
I love how they call you when they get stumped ! Then you show up and suddenly they are experts ! Always one in the company ! LOL
Yup, just as I started watching I was thinking "Too many Chiefs..."😂
Issac knows the gist of the issues, they just want his problem solving techniques ,for the quick fix , always spot on... ☝️💪👍🤔🖖
I think the other guys were victims of analysis paralysis. Isaac knows.😊Steve
Hopefully Isaac is getting paid while they sit around and deal with their analysis paralysis
He seems to do a lot of work for them so I'm sure they have a good rapport with each other.
Like my grandpa who was a boiler maker would say ( if this was any easier they would have the girl scouts out here doing this)!. have a blessed day everyone great job IC...
The new saying is "if it was any easier they would be doing it at walmart ".
"They got it as far as they could then they called me" truly humble tradesman.
If things go sideways stand beside Issac and If he starts to run run beside him.😂😂😂.
Love the longer format video's Isaac. This is a huge job, been there before and they are not fun
Glad you like them!
I like seeing IC and ic working together.
nice "I" btw
As a Canadian that lives on the praries I always find it funny listening to people from the southern states comment on how cold it is. Great work as always Isaac!
Being from Alaska, I like to reply to someone who thinks they live in a northern state and remind them that they're pretty far south.
@@ihdieselman Except I live in a province?
Just live in the south through the summer, instead of running back north, just stay and see what the southern summer is like, and work outside in the heat, and humidity. Then you’ll understand the difference between 120deg heat and -20deg cold. How hot is your praries in the summer? How high is the humidity? Walk in another man’s shoes b4 complaining about his stride.
@SPUDHOME I don't experience 120 degree heat, but we experience 100 degree. Gets so humid you can see the moisture in the concrete floors of our weld shop. I wasn't hating or judging at all, just seeing it from a different angle. I respect the hell out of Isaac.
As a fellow prairie Canadian I can’t stand reading these type of comments. Mate it’s cold for them, just like working in +45C would be miserable for us. Most of us don’t even like working when it’s above the mid 30s. It’s all relative, if you’re not used to it, then it’s going to be uncomfortable. Especially if they don’t have all the right clothes or knowledge about layering. What prairie province are you from since the prairies are defined as a semi arid grasslands.
I commented on this video a few nights ago and made an assumption about certain people in the video. I was wrong and should not have made the comment. You have good people around you. Good workers that deserve respect. Keep it up, man.
My apologies.
I watch your videos and now I know what is missing in my life ….since retirement I miss the challenges ,it keeps the little grey cells active …Great video look forward to part 2 👍👍👍👍
Your son is darn lucky to be trained by a master like yourself. what a leg up this is to his career.
I loved the part about an hour into to the video when you shut the torch down and cleaned the tip! Took me a long time to learn that patience. I remember when I used to just keep fighting it because I thought I was in a hurry. I now know it’s faster and a better cut if I just stop and take a minute or two to clean it up. Thank you!
Young ic, pay close attention to your pops... you've grown up with him so you may not realize how profound his skillset is. From his poise on the job, communication with all involved parties and finally the repair. Best of the best all the way around.
Man, this reminds me of many decades ago. Always interesting to see how others approach these kinds of things. Like the longer format of the video as well.
Pozole for lunch sounds good! Thank the guys and the company for allowing you to video this
You sure get to work on some crazy stuff, Isaac! Thanks for sharing, can't wait for part 2!
I really like the longer videos! I am a retired master plumber of 42 years, and I never really liked casual help like you got, but I understand and appreciate your diplomacy. Great video!
The casual help as you call it. They are the ones that fixed your screw up.
@@SPUDHOMEWhat are you talking about? I wasn't talking to you anyway!
Isaac, it is so good to have you back. I missed you.
Great. video Isaac, a lesson for the young ones 👍!
Fantastic dissection of somebody else's work. I am 68 years old and a machinist and weld er your work is surgical and to the point of amazing figuring out seams and cutting on them.
Like letsdig18, "I get called in to fix other people's stuff-ups!" although to be honest, it was quite a while back he said it, but it tickled my fancy and is one of those drolleries one remembers! Well done Isaac & Son; it's always a pleasure sitting in the front row seats you reserved for us.
I really enjoy watching your videos and how you fix all the various problems you encounter..
I really like the way you try not to cut too much. A lot of people just cut everything and keep going and going further. Thanks for sharing.
Love how your son is with you. I know the feeling when my little grandson wants to help.
Man, that hour flew by, even if it didn't for Isaac.
looks like a difficult situation with some some of the players having their own ideas you are diplomatic, patient and the go to guy that sees through the symptoms and then identifies the problem keep on!!!
Have to wait for Part 2!!
Heads up to the operator for stopping when he thought things did not quite seem right.
Your repairs are 110 % better then factory welds.❤😅
*I C Weld* What a major pain in the ass, at least it wasn' t 100 degrees out, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
@ICWeldc SCAMMER
What an interesting job. Thanks, Isaaq. Looking forward to pt. 2
I think they are very happy you did not walk away
TOOK TIME TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM, AND U SOLVED IT..... GREAT WORK !!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~
Man once again you cut better with a torch then anyone.
Wow, just like a Triumph Spitfire front suspension trunnion, only a bit bigger HAHA. I still get impressed at seeing how just a few small bolts hold that entire tower assembly in place.
That's the first time I've seen you cut something and had trouble. Still made it look easy as cake! Love to see your work.
Another fabulous video Isaac. It's good to see your son out with you learning the trade from the master. Also, you're quite the gentleman and a true craftsman to give praise to a welder that is in competition with you for doing a good job. As you said, it was done a little different than you would have but you gave credit just the same.
Love it when the customer tries to get involved with the repair.
Great progress on this repair Isaac, lookingfwd to Part2. Maybe the out of town jobs knew better than having a video biography of having one of their employees make a fool of himself and the company he represents. Our bonus for a good laugh though. Your son is getting a real life education. Outstanding work!
Wow! That's a huge break. Great job, Isaac.
👍that metal eraser is getting it done. Great work as always. Thanks for sharing my friend!
Best idea to remove the caps and tilt the boom out of the pivot point. That shaft was lost already, no way you could get that out by straight pulling. Thx a lot for the XL video, looking forward to part two! 👍👍👍
Isaac, the wizard with the oxyacetylene! Love to see you in action, amazing work.
Excalibur could only wish to call that torch daddy!
Isaac stumped!@!!! Stop the presses! Excellent demonstration how to cut 1" thick steel like butter. MY HERO!!!!!
What a job… you sure have build a great structural insight over the years and dare to bet your one of the top notch torch operator … man your patience and perseverance, accuracy is non to match!
Isaac, this is one of the best videos you have put out in a long time. I can't wait to see part 2 , don't get me wrong I enjoy all your videos.
I.C. to the rescue, amazing they sent ya a expert......A expert is...well a X is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure.....expert.🙂 Thanks for the video I.C. part two should be a winner.
cant wait to see part 2 , thanks for sharing
Isaac wwe missed you and your sidekick. great to have you back on You Tube.
Thanks for sharing Isaac. Always enjoyable, interesting, informative and educational videos. Been a minute, but you made it up, with a nice longer one. Stay well be safe.
That is the type of problem that normally you only hear about on the evening news!!! Crazy stuff man, love watching your channel!!
Gonna go ahead and give a shout out to the engineers and fabricators that built this. Seeing how slapped together John Deere products are, this repair was such a challenge for all that I can't help but respect the build. Tough for a repair, but dang...
Watching the operator laying the boom down, as it was jerking around you could see the end of the shaft move. Then again when the two guys were pulling on the pipe wrench. The first time the shaft rotated it dropped. Both instances proved the shaft was broken. Interesting project and I'm looking forward to Part 2. Thanks for sharing the repair with us.
Glad to see another video from you! This is a good one.
This was a good one Issac Glad you could share it with us
Wow that's a real tough piece of work. They got the right man on it.
Things are never as they seem ! thanks for another great video
Your the man Issac and your son is a lucky young man to have a mentor like you can’t wait for part 2
Wow great job. I use to rig work in a tank farms (Bham AL) it was fun. Now I work on containers and chassis at the Mercedes auto plant, going to put on a landing leg on chassis tomorrow. Keep em coming.
Thanks for the video Issac great job as always ❤️👍. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️.
I was impressed with the size of that slide-hammer Isaac. This is one of the more interesting jobs You have been able to share. Looking forward to how it goes back together. Best Wishes to everyone.
Great to see another video from Isaac. And what a job to bring us on video, no doubt this is classic I C Weld video territory and will be brilliant to watch!
An artist with the cutting torch.
There MAY be some as good with a torch, but there are none better. Prove me wrong. :)
I wish I could. The only thing is I've never seen anyone do a better job with a torch than Isaac. I was truly shocked that some of those pieces that he cut didn't just fall right off. Not very often you see that with Isaac's work usually it's only situations like this where it's very confined space and thick material.
Boy that looks pretty clean for the scarfing nightmare it started out as. Another awesome job thus far Mr Carrion. That 900fc is my go to torch also for hunting down separation lines. Really I like it for most work. I work a lot at a sawmill/cogen plant, and they didn’t really have a welder before I got there so they would just gob more rod onto the problem. Makes hunting that line kinda tough when it’s been repaired like that for years. If I can I go beyond the weld to where I know I’m in solid parent metal, and make a nice clean cut for a fresh start. Love watching your videos gives me a different perspective on trouble shooting, and how to make faster repairs. I appreciate them a lot.
Good things are worth waiting for!
I could make some very cool stuff with those chunks you cut out ...except for the little rectangle one..that was genius What a horrible job getting the whole joint out ...looking forward to the next bit
This I think is the most interesting video to date. Really enjoyed watching you tackle the challenge. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you very much!
Happy to have new material from you. I rely on closed captions - not enough hearing protection years ago. Sad that they aren't working on this one.
KZhead changed how they upload CC. Its done automatically now I think. Its not been the same since. I'll see if I can go back and make additional changes.
Greg from northern Michigan Another great video. They were hoping for a easy fix (possibly some JB Weld) , but you aIready new better. When the end customer wants to be involved, you must always give them some ground, as they are probably facing additional pressures for not maintaining their eqiipment.
You teach me so much on so many levels it is un real, from people to metal. I totally enjoy your channel.
I appreciate that!
Nice slide hammer. I recall one video where factory mechanics were using a similar rig for pin installation on an excavator boom. Theirs was made from an old hydraulic piston rod, with what looked like a salvaged piston (presumabley from a larger cylinder) sliding on it for the weight. Excellent use of salvaged parts, and it stuck with me because I expected a factory crew to have more formal tools. Also, wow that sprocket has some serious wear on it. Those teeth are at the end of their life, I'd say.
Keep the longer videos coming !!!
If you put a rope on the slide hammer you can put twice the energy in it. I made mine out of round stock 1.5m 30mm high strenght chrome rod from a cilinder and put a 10 kg weight on it. I Made it with m30 threat so it would screw inside the cat pins. The thing was stronger then 20 tons hollow press. It would break of a 24mm nut from the pin, fully welded. I drove many stuck pins out that way. The next step was the hammer on the 5 ton excavator, and heating it all the way
Definitely one of your best videos so far. Can't wait for part 2.
The Jedi Torch Master does it again.
That’s definitely not the way I would have done it or was thinking how to do it....,and my way I was thinking would have been INCREDIBLY WRONG! Great job
Holy cow..! Only four 1/2 or 3/4 inch bolts holding that trunnion bar in that hinge point. I know there were two large hydraulic cylinders involved, but looks like a weak point. Great work on your part. Look forward to the next part. Thank you sir.
Always enjoy watching the master at work!!
IMO, they were EXTREMELY lucky the entire boom didn't just 'fall over'...
IC Weld to the rescue. Good one.
I'd give the "third wheel" $ 20 to take an early lunch! 🍔🍟🥤👋
Love these long videos!
Nice work! Always learn something from you. Thanks for sharing your videos!
Issac, a whopper long video.....cheers, hope you and the family are doing great...... best wishes from Central Florida, Paul
Love your videos, it would be nice if you had CC ( closed caption ) on part two. Thanks
Working on it!
Serious field repairs ! Love your approach to these problems !
That's quite the job. A lot of work just for that but I guess you got to do what you got to do. Looking forward to part 2. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🥶
Great video! This video explains 90percent of the calls we roll up on. On plus side they washed that area 👍
Thats Goin to be fun to weld back in....doesn't look like there's a lot of room in there
Now that’s a crazy one. So good it didn’t fall down on them!
I'm doing just what you said......kicked back and watching!! Good video.
Thank You Isaac! I was going through a very bad case of IC Weld withdraws. I feel much now. Thank you again! Awesome Video!
Just what you needed. More brass to make the hard choices of how to break things better.!
Id rather have the big boss look at the work as it progresses. They understand why the bill is huge and all of the work involved. The crew is helping. So that's ok in my book.
Super amazing and interesting!
They just got lucky. That is one big fly swatter. Some people would interrupt the surgeon during their own heart operation😂😂😂
Excellent work as usual 👍👍👍
Awesome work 👍🏻
Brilliant as always, God bless.
