Hey guys, Here is a rather routine job if you live anywhere there is rock in the ground. Excavators, backhoes, and other ground engaging tooling or machines will most likely at some point have to deal with a similar issue of suffering from a broken tooth shank. Oftentimes these issues happen because of too much force or leverage is applied to one or more of the individual teeth of the buckets or blades. Not to worry, these are a common problem. most competent welders are able to repair or replace these as needed. Here is an example of repairing a broken one. Kick back for a few minutes and enjoy. Thanks for the support in advance, and here is a link to some of the tooling I use from amazon. amzn.to/3TnyFdv
Please stop berating yourself and apologising for camera angles. You are a joy to watch.
Agreed. At the end of the day we are just fortunate that Isaac has been nice enough to drag out his camera and let us into his world. As always his main priority is to safely get his work done so that he and his son can go home at night. If we miss the occasional view of the job then that is just to bad for us. As it stands Isaac provides plenty of explanations as to what is happening throughout the job and makes it easy to understand the challenges of each job. Keep at it Isaac!

Amazing that it will be able to dig rock again and stay on.
Some people are assholes bro that’s why every youtube welder has to give tons of disclaimers and apologies because armchair experts always have something to say about everything. Whether that be camera angles, etc. I agree with you Isaac is so humble and nice he doesn’t have to apologize
I'm retired(40years of welding). I always did repair work. That's the best kind of welding. Your welds are ALWAYS awesome. working on heavy equipment never looks pretty. Professional welders know good welds by looking at them. Keep up the awesome work and videos. Get your son to weld more. It's great he is with you!!!!
I worked with Dad for twenty years as auto painters, he taught me the business but wouldn't give me any time behind the spray gun until I left him for six months, that got his attention, when he asked me back I was no longer his help but an equal partner and spent more time behind the gun.Its hard to turn over the reigns, but how's one to learn if not by fire.
@@charlescastillo8870It is always hard to know when to hand over the responsibility for the critical work on a job, but it has to happen some time as the old hands will never be around forever. It is always better to hand over the critical work while the old hands are around to as questions. Hell it's even more reassuring for a tradesman (or tradeswoman) to be able to consult with other tradies because talking through some jobs can clarify your course of action and remind you of pitfalls that you may have overlooked. Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Keep up the good work. As a retired welder, I enjoy watching. Makes me feel like I'm on the job with you.
That's one of the reasons I watch this channel. You learn something from IC Weld
Бро я себе этим зарабатываю деньги так как мой дом снарядом разбомбили русские в Херсоне пришлось жизнь начинать сначала и я с видео бро смотрю как учебное видео😊
Those torch cuts are always so satisfying to watch! One of the things I love about this channel is the exposure to normal parts of life that I know nothing about and have never thought about. Of course this equipment wears down, and of course parts need to be replaced. But I never think about all of that. If you had asked me what happens when a tooth broke off a bucket before this video, I'd barely understand the question let alone know the answer. Thanks for bringing to light these aspects of the world that are common for some folks, and completely unknown to folks like me!
Nice repair! There’s always something that seems to pop up at the most inconvenient time, who would have expected a machine to quit working. Through all of that you still made it happen and turned over a solid repair.
That`s a good welder`s mate hiding behind the beard Isaac, I must say it`s nice to see your son working with you, and those welds he did looked very nice. I used to stand back watching my son when he worked with me, it was very satisfying watching him employ the little tips and tricks I taught him, I hope you feel the same pride in your son that I do in mine.
I've never welded, and I never will but, I can enjoy watching an expert.
In the workshop of clangs and welding flair, There's a man named Isaac, beyond compare. A call came in, a bucket's sad woe, A tooth had departed, like a leaf in the blow. No spare tooth in sight, just a gap so wide, Isaac scratched his head, pondering the tide. No fancy spare parts, no toolbox delight, Just Isaac and his welder, ready to unite. With a sizzle and a pop, the job was complete, Isaac had triumphed, a welding feat so sweet. The customer marveled, "Isaac, you're the best!" He shrugged and replied, "Just another welding quest."
Home welder here. Enjoy your videos --- I'm always learning from the best. Thanks!
Alot of welders focus only on the the welding part. Very few are real good with a torch. Torch work can almost break you or make you. 40 yrs experience I say learn the torch and get really good with it. Practice, practice. Great video my man.
Its nice to know that your son is learning a needed trade by the master.
Although I learn a lot about welding tips, the best part is watching you work the torch like a scalpel
You are no rookie. A craftsman.
Master Fabricator 👍👍
Absolutely the best craftsmanship, knowledge, and PASSION! Good job Isaac your a wizard. Surgeon with that torch.
Issac is more accurate with a gas torch than most of us with a milling machine!
You know your welds won't break. The metal will. But would enjoy seeing the young Muchacho do the last pass to get his hours of experience.
While we don't get to see Young Muchacho strutting his stuff in many videos, I am pretty confident that Isaac has him burning plenty of wire, rods, carbons and oxy gases so that he is at full speed should something put Isaac into the Doctor's workshop! 😂 Not that I would wish it upon Isaac but you know what construction sites can be like. 😮 Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I had to do a few of those bucket teeth repairs when I worked for my dad's construction company, his policy for his sons was, you break it you fix it. Those bucket teeth are under a huge amount of pressure, especially the corner teeth. Like you said, scarfing off the whole tooth and replacing it with a new one is a lot of work, you did a great job on that, mine always looked a little cross-eyed when I was done.🤣🤣
You may not have the sub count of some other channels, but those other channels all know that IC Weld is the master of the torch.
Your son has turned into a very helpful young man. You should be very prould be very proud of him and his achievements.
6:38 good old torch to the rescue. This is why one should always have secondary options. You never know what's gonna fail or not work. Being prepared is the mark of an experienced craftsman.
I’m a contractor fitter/welder and I enjoy your videos! I work repair in shipyards and working with dirty, greasy metal makes for a good craftsman. New metal is easy as hell to fit/weld
Humble to a fault. Definitely a class act and a first rate welder/fabricator/repairman.
Absolute fantastic repair! Problems always happen and you just have to improvise. A spare machine is a must in this line of work.
Maybe one day I'll have a big monster machine like yours!😉😁👍👍
good to see your helper (son) back out there learning a trade!!!!!!!!!!!
👍 father and son team saved the day again!
Issac, Isaac, he's our man, if he can't fix it, noone can! 🎉
who needs air arc you are the master with the butter knife beautiful repair
this guy is a wizard with the torch
Who's that grown man working with you, your brother, uncle or cousin😂. Junior has grown up right before our very eyes
Little fella had a growth spurt. :)) They grow so fast.
@@aserta he's really bulked up
As long as it's only buckets and schedules getting wrecked, I'm all for letting operators go bananas; it keeps you busy and makes for great content besides.
You’re a dentist, repairing a broken tooth! LOL. Enjoy your work videos. Always interesting and educational.
No progress is made until the hands of A craftsman begin
You are the Godfather of the torch. Thank God in having spare equipment . Stay safe.
Your former helper looks like now he is a partner. I am sure you taught him well!!
There's always something to learn with Isaac! Nice one. Thanks. hope you had a relaxing and pleasant Sunday.
I’m still jealous of your‘assistant’!
"Not bad for a couple of rookies." 🤣🤣🤣
I love seeing your son working by your side in the same uniform you wear. He’s learning to carry the torch (no pun intended). Keep the videos coming.
It’s a good thing you kept old faithful.
Get well soon Miller.
I was actually happy you had to bevel it with your torch. Sorry you machine broke though! Great video as always 😊
Sir, you are truly a master with the torch and arc gouger and a joy to watch! You have absolutely no reason to apologize for ANYTHING!
Dude is for real a master with that torch.
You have to hate having a welder go done. Good thing you have a backup machine. Keep up the great work!
Isaac you are a master at your craft. Your down to earth and practical approach to problems is amazing. Keep up the good work.
2 for 2 on getting your video right out of the gate 👍 small victory’s matter lol
Good thing you have a back up welder. 👍🏻 thanks for sharing.
My friends always ask me why I don't have a plasma cutter and use a torch..... they don't understand what fields work is 😂. Sorry the machine went down, but at least you had the torches to get prep work done and a spare at home! Some days just aren't easy... but your end product looked fantastic. Nice glue job
Dear Issac, you know all your Fans love your Torch work...... I read comments on other's sites complimenting you on your fabulous torch work, and encouraging others to go to your site to view ...... wondering what happened to your welder? hope it is back in action soon......PB
When I worked at EB Groton CT. I did HY-80 steel [hull] ex-ray repairs on the Los Angeles class subs. We would have to heat it to min. 200' before welding the HY-80 using either 1/8" or 3/32" 110-18 flux coated wire or MIG depending on the position and size of the repair, now I think they are all HY-100 steel. Another good instructional video about the welding trade.
Glad to see some torch action from a master of the gas axe.
I repaired one of those that was never used. it was a bad casting with big cracks that appeared after shipping to customer, and I had to completely remove it, and replace it. it must have been 3 inches of weld that I had to carbon-arc through!
Good pros know what to do. Great ones know what to do when things go wrong!! Awesome work again! When anyone asks why you have so many welding machines you can refer them to this video!!
Nice to see junior again. Thanks for sharing, another great video.
I've always enjoyed watching your videos no matter how long or short they are, this is a good educational/ learning channel. Keep up the good work
Enjoy watching a professional. Keep up the good work.
That's really awesome the way your truck can load and unload itself
Will you follow up on what happened to the Miller? You didn't have much hours on it, right? Great repair as always!
Love that your rolling down the road listening to Low Rider by War 😂
I missed that! You got a time stamp for it? It's not surprising really given that we know that Isaac is into classic cars that ride looow!😅 Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I hope the video doesnt get tagged. I tried to keep the volume low and short.
Thanks for the video Issac and Son great job on the bucket repair ❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️.
You and "mini me" did a great job! GREAT VIDEO
lol great video I asway telling my wife why I need 2 of every thing is because one breaks down you have a back up welding unit !! I love watch you work and after living in Taylor TX for 6 years and I know Leander pretty well Cedar Park ,Rock Rock ect keep the heavy equipment repairs I work in heavy equipment repair and its great to see new trick or idea
I did pick up a trick when you were scarfing and beveling with the torch, you were raising the flame up and down the first pass, then the second pass, doing a smooth pull.....thank you Issac, Paul over in Florida
cuts like butter after the "preheat".
Isaac! Your son is your legacy bro he is on his way
I C Weld and I C Beards too. Great work as usual.
Not bad for a couple of Rookies 😀
Great to see the IC Weld Team back in action. Your involvement is always enlightening. I love to watch your torch work. "The scalpel of the welding world". I am surprised though, it would appear you are not paying your partner enough so that he can afford to shave1!!!!!!! Really looks good, Sir Isaac.
And doing dental too ! You're a man of many talents. Thanks for another interesting video.
Another amazing job by the man and his son
I really like your channel. Thanks again for your videos, please keep them coming!!!
That looked great when you finished! I can't believe you can put things like that back together and have them hold up!! Good show!!
A nice sunday afternoon catch up . I guess as you said on many occasions you gotta go with what ya got and play with the hand given . In an ideal world you would have a new spare to cut and replace and your machine wouldn't have decided it wanted a trip to the repair guy . Hopefully something simple and not a huge expense . Content as good as always with a great explanation as you not bad for a couple of rookies . Thanks for sharing as always
With only 300 hours on the machine Miller better be on the ball! Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
@@markfryer9880 ahh i wasn't aware the machine wasnt that old.. yup that should be a warranty issue then.
Great video IC! IC WELD Shawshank Redemption lol!✔😎
Glad to see your lad working with you, no doubt he is going to be the next you, the public hopes??
I was asking myself why wire over stick? Then you answered my thought. Thanks.
Isaac, many people watching your videos, especially viewers in other countries, don't have any conception of how large your service area might be, Texas is huge. Perhaps in future videos mention why you don't pop back home and pickup something you need. Thank you for the video.
That turned out really well. I love the Hobart Fabshield 21B flux core wire!
I always learn something from your videos....thanks so much!
Nice job! You did your customer service.
Another great video! Thanks for the entertainment.
learned a thing about selecting fluxcore, thank you!
Great job as usual. I hadn't seen Issac's son for a while.
Since I don't have an arc gouger, it was better to have seen you do this with the torch. I bought that same torch two years ago when I saw you using one on that CAT boom repair. The only thing I need to get is that giant rose bud or whatever it's called to be able to apply more heat. The only thing left is to practice more with both. Thanks for another lesson.
Great job as usual! I wish I could work under you for a bit! Knowledge for days!
Nice job guys 🎉,looking forward to your next video
Nice torch work!
Wow, that was a lot of passes! Turned out great!
Great Repair Job Isaac !! 🤗💯
Your videos are always informative and show excellent work.
My pregame church service with Isaac, perfect!
Brilliant channel really enjoy your videos
Thanks for the video I.C. please keep them coming, and I appreciate the time your taking to make these videos, ok have a Great Day!
I agree with you! Very well said.
Beautiful work as always !!!
As always, a TOP team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video, the Lincoln welders are built about 35 miles from my home!!
Super great Job!! Your son's Beard is looking good. It's so great to have your Son with you!!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Eat next door at Jardin Del Rey, my favorite restaurant in Leander. Awesome job
Next time!
It's always nice to see someone else get a Root Canal, hope the customer has dental coverage. Too bad the Miller took a crap, time for Lincoln to step-up to the plate, lol.
That Miller is essentially brand new with only 300 hours on the clock. 😮
They all break. I prefer Lincoln, but Issac knows what works for him.
Isaac- Great how to video, learned a lot.
