Hey Guys, Well, here is a rather small project that came into the shop. We are welding new spring perch hangers onto this rig style axle housing. Neat little project. Learning about Dual shield wire as well. Thanks for the support so kick back and enjoy.

Geez! I love that my two favorite channels watch each other. Kurtis is one fine machinist and Isaac is a welding master. Both are fantastic teachers for me and my skills are much improved because you two! Thanks Isaac
Got an ICweld and a CEE video in the same morning, great way to start the day!!!!
100%!!
Always a joy to watch the youngsters weld. Very fine work on that axle.
It’s comical to watch a master at work. Then grudgingly agree that there are technological advances in welding! lol Proves that even an old dog can learn new tricks! Keep up the great work Isaac!
Curtis from Cutting Edge Engineering, Australia, uses dual core wire for a lot of his work. He also follows your channel by the way. Nice work as always!
Yea, first time i actually became aware of how good it is was from Curtis. It makes for some solid welds and has changed my thinking on how to repair stuff.
Dual shield?
@@nicklebac6753 Using flux core wire with gas shielding.
I watch both channels, Curt’s, and Issac are both great at what they do
@@SandBoxJohn I know lol
Hot enough when the carbon from the acetylene burns off, never seen such a good demonstration of that trick.
Isaac's "bad" weld is better than most people's good weld
Thank you for sharing , always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
Hobart makes a really good dual shield. I've run pallets of that wire. It'll even weld on scuzzy metal you're not too sure of. Really good properties can even do some impromptu hard facing with it if you peen on it a bit when it's still warm. Lays in nice and smooth and flux peels off like 7018 with the right settings. Can uphill and overhead with it no problemo. Listening to your weld if you bumped .2-.5 volts it'll stop spitting BBs and the end of your wire won't form a bead, never need to trim the end with welpers. I always ran straight stringers pushing slightly.
'Next little project' is your thing
CEE in Australia uses it too! Another Great channel!!!
First 👍's up IC WELD thank you for sharing 😊
I’ve asked you before if your chain hoist was homemade, you said it was but you didn’t think we would be interested in how it was made. You’re wrong it’s something that we would & could use. Thank you Sir for your videos, they’ve helped us a lot. Again thank you Sir
I'll add it to an upcoming video.
I'll add it to an upcoming video.
@@ICWeld Thank you Sir, it’ll be interesting, I’m looking forward to it
Dual shield is so pleasant to use. Like butter on toast. Nice work.
Seasons Greetings 🎅 & Welcome to the Dual Shield club Issac ... try bumping your volts up a bit cuz ... it should run quieter & you'll be able to see the pool easier 🤔
Glad you didn't get stuck fixing that mangled excavator boom arm.
I might fix it anyways, just for kicks.
@@ICWeld 🤣🤣🤣 your gas supplier is gonna have a Christmas bonus after you finish that bending that mess back into shape.
I ran 2 or nearly 2 dual shield spools a week for a few years... you gotta play with the setting, it looked a little hot from the dark flux color... the sound was off not ssssss sizzle or the glopy cooking sound when the wire speed is a little slow... but all welding machines aren't the same and there's different settings for power and wire speeds for different requirements... the hotter it's ran the more strength it has but becomes more brittle. from my experience, when you get it dialed in the you'll get slag peal and no need to chip anything. I used a little air from the air chisel exhaust it would blow it away and would be ready for the next pass. I did mostly 1/2 to 1 in. structural with it and the occasional low hydrogen process on some applications. it's fantastic stuff.
excellent, thank you. I'll mess around with the settings. Much appreciated!
Very nice ! Wonderful skills ! Thanks for sharing !
Mmmmmmmm, do I smell bacon? I thought someone was frying some. Nice work Isaac. Joe
@07:58 haha lol best welding shot of the year, just kidding 😂 looks so easy, but with your experience probably with any wire it will look great!
As always Issac is a excellent example of a professional craftsman with a sense of humor! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Great Video as usual, Thanks for the Shout out.
So you finally tried dualshield!! It's awesome wire to run! the slag comes off easier if you give it a minute to protect the weld from the atmosphere,like lo-hi rod
Welding newb here ,I let it rest a bit too.
Greetings to you and the family this Christmas time, hope you have a good rest, you deserve it ! Great video, thank you.
Good job on the painting, makes it look professional. Love your videos.
Man thats the same stuff I used, it penetrates better than anything else. Miller Xmt or 252/251p? at 24 volts and 320 inches per minute or 21v and 240(?) would easily weld some 1inch blocks onto an auger that was as tall as an underpass on the freeway. Good for Kelly bars and 2inch or 4 inch(?)pile driver gussets too! Just 1 root pass and 3 more passes on top = strong. Even in the wind it's great!
So cool you are trying new things
When you first flashed the Hobart box all I saw was 029 and thought issac's really lost it now! 🤔😂 Happy holidays to you and your family.
Dual shield is awesome. I'd say we have shifted 90% of our stick work over. It's just fast, hot, and glues up so well.
I dont understand why it's not used more in industrial and outdoor settings. Even in a windy environment it welds so well with fewer stops and starts than stick. There are certainly times when stick has an advantage but overall I'd weld dual shield over about any other process whenever I could.
Nicely done, Isaaq. We have 4 Corners Welding Supply in Cortez and Durango, too. I didn't know they were down in Gallup but I'm not surprised. Glad they sent you the wire. That was very nice.
Merry Christmas!
I used ti weld with a very old hobart mig welding machine at the railways in my country I must say it was one of the best machines i worked with although it was so old a beutiful arc welded smooth the new machines we have today with all their fancy settings just dont beat that old gem.
You talking about the old Yellow Hobart Mig machines. with the single round selector dial on the front? Those were nice units.
@@ICWeld ours where more a yellow greenish colour being as old some guys painted their machines these days people dont have pride in their machines dont keep it dust free dent them etc pride is very important when doing your job even pride in ones machines and equipmqnt that is what makes up a good artesan pride in his/her work enjoy your day go well stay safe.
I got to use a Miller Goldstar last June,a bit of 6010 and capped with 7018,smooth.
Merry Christmas to you and the family
Love the welds for what the dual shield does. I also have trouble seeing welds and I modified a light. I have one of those halogen work lights on a tripod stand with the rectangular fixture. Halogen bulbs don't last long and the heat they produce is next to welding. I purchased a pair of rectangular LED COB lights, yellow looking built on a white, flat circuit boars (amazon and other places sell them) and because it is Circuitry On Board, you only attach the positive and negative leads directly from a 110 outlet with solder. They are available in different output and the light produced by the finished unit is next to a cloudless day in the summer. I removed the halogen bulb and replaced it with the 2 LED COB lights. I used a piece of aluminum sheet (steel could also be used and aluminum is what I had available) to mount the LEDs with small screws and nuts and then attached it to the fixture. I was not able to use the reflector but with some mods it should be possible and when done, it was unnecessary. The LEDs do not make much heat and I can now see the weld. The LEDs produce a much better light than do the halogens. Look for at least 100W and if higher, go for it. Price might be ten bucks each. They last a long time and be sure to check if the ones you look at are 1110 or 240 volt so you do not get the wrong ones. This is an easy project.
Thanks for that suggestion. I'll have to see what I can do.
I would love to show you the worklight we cobbled together,same thing pretty much though.
Your videos are awesome, always a pleasure to watch. Leatherman tools should sponsor you, your Leatherman pliers show up in each video, they appear to be the go to tool for most everything. Merry Christmas to you and the family.
100% I was thinking the exact same thing!
Agree but are they Leatherman
@@larryburns4605 I don’t know, I don’t care
@@dirtfarmer7472 👍👍
I've never seen Leathermans that slide out like that. I believe they are Gerbers but I could be mistaken.
Merry Christmas
I hope you’ll work more with the duel-feed. It looks much better and most welders using it, like it. - eventually. You said it yourself, butter. Kind of ‘an old dog with a new trick’. But it’ll work better for you if you commit to it.
That wire looks pretty impressive . Just by looking at it.
Thank you for a year of great videos and learning opportunities. I wish you and your family (and all your subscribers) a safe and joyful Christmas and Happy New Year!
SUPER RAD DUDE!!!! MY DUDE IS WELDING WITH THE POWER OF DUAL SHEILD !!!!
amazing looking welds . another great video. thanks for sharing
I think you have the toughest pliers around. I watch everything that is titled ICWeld. Keep it up in Austin.
Awesome video! Love this kind of work.
11:18 .. As a kid on the farm i normally used a #14 Dark Welding Glass in my Hood, When I was in construction as a Millwright in my 20's I used to make fun of the Old Ironworkers that had to use magnifying cheaters and a #9 Glass in their hoods. Well I'm down to bifocals' and a #10 Welding Glass today (#11 on bigger stick welding) .. lucky I am pretty much retired now. :)
Hi Isaac. Thanx for some very informative welding in all your projects. Enjoy it so much. May you have a blessed Christmas and Festive Season with your loved ones. 🎄🎄✝️✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽 Take care. EJM 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Greetings Isac, can't believe it's been a year. Thank you for making time to video these amazing videos. Merry Christmas to you, your family, friends and subscribers. Wishing a healthy, joyful, prosperous and Blessed New Year, stay well be safe. Always and always enjoy your videos, very interesting, informative, educational and entertaining.....keep em coming please. Ciao
Pretty cool Isaac. I enjoyed watching the welding. It always looks so impressive.
Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Issac it's always nice to set down to one of your videos. Merry Christmas to you and the furbabies 😊.
Thank you Isaac. That new wire sure works good. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year😅
What can i say. Another great video. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope we will get to see another video from you this year. 🍻🎅🇬🇧⚒️
Yup. One more before years end!
Merry Christmas from the NJ Bayshore
The master
Your 1st time probably better than my 5th time!!
Isaac that is a good wire in my experience with it. Plus...Eric is a cool dude from what I have heard and my limited conversations with him. someday soon I am going to buy something from him.
You make me want to cry. My welds look like bubble gum while yours look like a fine surgeon. Wish I could work as a student of yours. Little too late now though.
Hey Isaac love your videos! I do a lot of the same kinda work and it’s cool seeing how you go about things!
Yeah that was a good one. Easy not that bad. I have the same problem when I weld when I weld on my bench. I have a light above my head and it seems to reflect down inside the mask and it's hard to see. So I made up a little hood piece that hangs over the back of my head to block the light. I seen other people use them so I'm going to give it a shot next time I do some welding and see how it goes. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
I enjoy when the welder is set right the beads just lay right in
As always another great video! Thank you so much for letting us learn over your shoulder!!
Enjoy the videos, haven’t seen you son in them in awhile.
You and the family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!
Your hitting 30% likes for how many views you have. That is unheard of. Usually people are lucky to get 10% likes of the view count.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Isaac! (And Happy New Year)...I'm going to pretend to be you tomorrow and Weld on some auxiliary Hydraulic valves to my mini excavator, learning from your video definitely helps confidence, so thanks for sharing as always! Great video, looking forward to the next!
Merry Christmas, hope to see you next year !
we use the fabco triple 7 wire in .052 great stuff. i run it at around 350wfs and 28.5v off my rig and suitcase you can fill stuff up fast. you should try comes in .045 too i believe
Merry Christmas Issac and happy new year to you and yours you make the best repairs on some of the most hammered equipment I have ever seen !
Great work and video young man. Dual shield wire is very expensive here in the UK. A 15kg (30+lb) reel of it from Esab is £400 or $550 or thereabouts. Not cheap!
I bought a roll of Lincoln .045 that makes more worm tracks then I could shake a stick at. Look like that Hobart does the trick!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Isaac. Thank you for your videos. As a hobbiest welder and shop geek, I appreciate your info and tips.
I like your videos, keep them coming. Every time I watch your videos, it shows I'm not subscribed. I've been a subscriber for over a year. This has happened a lot lately. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
I like your into. "Here we are at our next little project..."
Very nice work !! 🤗 Merry Christmas !!
Top job as always 👍👍
VERY NICE !!!!!!!! REAL PRO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Awesome we run esab810x 1/16 and 045 dual shield you can get pen with that wire for sure lays down like glass
good 👍💖🌷 from Vietnam 🇻🇳
Nice work. Just found your channel. 👍👍👍
Welcome aboard!
A) New truck??!! B) One of your few videos without your beloved needle scaler. Nice work, as ever.
Great job with your first run of dual shield. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family.
Thanks for the video Issac nicely done 👍❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤.
very nice work
My go to has always been flux-core but I really like that wire. Can't see any flaw in your work. Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Isaac!! That’s my favorite wire! 26v & 400 wfs or so. Like Butta!!
ah word travels fast once you post a video about 20 minutes in and 600 views, for this introspection on setting up this axle housing for use, by an earnest and kind master metal tradesman, showing how some of the jobs that roll in are done and sharing a few tips and tricks and honest imperfections that happen along the way, but thats how it is each job has its own challenges, and a few imperfections are bound to happen, do you prefer working in the shop, or the on site adventures repairing I wonder but, have a merry christmas Issac
I prefer on site repairs. I like the challenge. although, I am getting rather spoiled being in the shop. I get more done when im onsite rather than at the shop since it is in my backyard. Its too easy to take a long lunch or coffee break!!
@@ICWeld ah I see, I like being in my own shop so I got everything I need or can get it for doing the highest quality work when we fix something or build something, I am not a trade welder though, just an intermitent project and repair stuff for the neighbors and friends kind of guy, I am more a woodworker, and when working in the railroad shop on the steam loco, I perfer to be inside the shop most the time, where its easier to just sweat it out then endure sunburn which happens quite easy though its a little cooler in indiana then texas so that might make it a little more unbearable in the summer, but sometimes we have to work on larger projects outside as there just isn't as much room in the shop to do large lifting or we dont want to get all the dirt and soot inside the shop when cleaning the firebox or blowing out the flues and pipes of ash and coal dust, or dumping the ashpan, or for that mater loading machinery or heavy large items being taken apart, you know how that is
The day it goes to our next big project, I bet I’ll be watching him welding on a spaceship Keep up the good work and happy holidays
I like that wire!
in all your vids I like the leatherman chipping pliers. Do they come in stainless for alum ? LoL
Merry Christmas IC Weld
Merry Christmas Issac and thanks for sharing 🌲🦘
I use dual shield for everything at work, the welds are super smooth and burn in like no other. Should you be using c25 ramp it up to c10, the c10 requires less energy to achieve spray transfer and/or pulsed spray. The more argon the easier it is to enter spray transfer. Basically itll run as hot as c25 but with less voltage.
Same thing happens to me with the overhead lights in the shop. I get back-lighted and can't see crap then you'll see me jerking my head side to side trying to see lol.
Hey man with that paint it looks factory made great job as usual Merry Christmas and another prosperous New Year will be looking forward for more of your great videos next year
Merry Christmas too you and your Family
I've been looking into buying one of those multi-purpose tools that you have but none of them was chipping hammer in the description😂
Nice smooth job thanks for sharing Cheers from Nova Scotia
Have a great Christmas.
I worked in a foundry, where we poured valve,water pump bodies,big ship props up to 12' foot a crost. Any how we used dual shield also, pre heat the casting to a certain temperature,then build it up. Then cover it with blankets to let it cool down slowly to prevent it it from forming cracks because it cooled down to fast.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge I love your videos.
