I would be delighted to view three hours of footage. Your explanations into the process and the remarkably detailed camera work creates a very educational insight into very heavy machinery repair. Someone’s gotta do it and Al, you’re the man.

[@hfdzl]

Definite subscribed !! I am a retired 35 yrs, welder/mechanic from a Union USA shop. I worked in quarry , blacktop and sand and gravel processing. Some of the most satisfying work. I am totally impressed with your work ethic and willingness to share your knowledge, Thank you !! Totally impressive work, super smooth hand, great shop set up !! Can add some hops and grain to that water and make it a pint!

Allistair is the epitome of a Class Act Weldor......don't do it if you can't do it right.........

[@solarfinder]

​@@ypaulbrownIt's amazing how many people fail to live by this premise.

[@gorillaau]

I keep losing the sense of scale with this piece and thinkingnthay this thing is Bloomin huge., the large volume of weld wire going into filling the cracks and voids. Awesome to watch.

[@Binkophile]

I'm a recently retired Boilermaker, and worked on some very large repairs on mining equipment like draglines and shovels. But that crusher kinda scared me a bit. The combination of size, mass, metal type and required precision with such a nasty break... I'm impressed as hell with your work. Bloody beautiful

[@donaldjharkinjr3834]

Awesome. I'm a retired diesel mechanic. 3yrs tech school for welding while in high school 5yrs navy seabees as a steel worker. I had some big stuff to weld but that was awesome with pre and post heating for stress and shrinkage. God bless brother!!!!

[@NamelesshunterGaming]

The only thing missing in this video series is the smell. Amazing job sir.

[@sonicfrog1]

Holy moly I was watching the setup and the preheating steps, and was thinking how you were actually gonna get into those pockets to physically weld? I mean, essentially after the preheating with the space heaters and torch, those "oven spaces" must have been hot enough to bake a chicken! And the extended torch, wasn't just a godsend, it was key! You're truly a testament to work ethic. I can't imagine too many people on the planet who would sit all day in front of an open oven door, and perform this methodical work. You give us all inspiration for whenever we may whine about the difficulties of our jobs. Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@KittyBertandErnie]

to think I was exhausted and so stressed welding the leg of our patio BBQ grill.... WOW!... You are a true World Master

It’s great to see people fixing stuff, Like this and the Aussie dudes page too the CEE too, Well done.

[@gavinweiler3831]

Check out IC weld to. He’s legit

[@richhowe7193]

Part 2 was definitely worth the wait Alistair. What an absolute beast of a job, looking forward to part 3. The scale of the job is mind boggling, some of those gaps were canyons. The concentration, the stress and the heat of the job was palpable. Hats off to you sir, cracking job!

[@gorillaau]

On video, you lose sight of the scale of the piece, until a known object comes into shot. It's 😊a bloody big crack on a bloody big project piece.

This guy is a master welder, and an engineer. Keep plugging away at it. Iv been welding for 43 years and i love it.

[@gregoryl.4872]

You sure do nice work.

[@jimleane7578]

This is way beyond my ability. Both mental and physical. A cowboy rides a bronco with one hand. You sir, are no cowboy. Video while gouging. Hats off to you, master!

[@michaelreischman9429]

The welds look Fantastic, what a gigantic job. Hats off to you Sir!

[@wkjeeping9053]

Welding is not taught in any school in the U.S. anymore. Great work, I enjoyed watching this work. I worked as a cert welder and only worked 20 years and retired. Right of high school the last year it was taught. The teacher got cert for government jobs for me. Worked hard, paid very well and now living life how I want to be.

[@jarmstrong2843]

I am not a welder, but i know art when I see it. The welding beads are truly works of art by a very skilled welder. This is an indication the man loves his work.

[@dalewier9735]

Thanks for posting this part 2. I am not a pro welder and did not know you could fix this. You also explained some of the metallurgy involved and i had no idea of the complexity of welding this beast. Blessings from east Texas

[@carlthor91]

Thankfully it's cast steel, iron can't take the abuse these jaw crushers take, day in and day out.

[@markrich6657]

Hi Alistair, phenomenal video. Was a fabricator/ welder..... but this is on the stratospheric level. No substitute for skill. Bucket loads here for all to appreciate. Look forward to the finale. Take care.

[@spotweld]

You're an example to all young men of what it means to be a hard worker and showing a job well done 👏. Thanks for making the effort to share it..

[@littlenormy]

Awesome job! And something to look back to in years to come,I started welding at the age of 15, and 77 years tomorrow and still playing with it. You are satisfied for sure. Thanks for the video..All the best to you..

[@Sarah-cq1vb]

My daughter has decided to make welding her career she works at a welding shop in town and she tells me about the work she does but it’s difficult to understand what she is talking about having no experience with it. I am very glad I have found your channel because you do an excellent job of explaining not only what you are doing but why it has to be done that way. Thank you for your content. It really gives me an insight to what my daughter is doing and helps me to be an active listener when she discusses her job. I really respect the job that you do it’s not one for the uneducated. I had no idea just how much planning went into a welding repair and the scope of knowledge necessary to do it right. Hats off to you and your skills!

[@verteup]

Awesome to see you trying to become an even better active listener. I've met maybe 5-10 active listeners in my entire lifetime on earth. They're so important for a civilized society. At my job I don't even talk much anymore. There's no reason to. Everybody there is just trying to one-up everybody or just waiting for their turn to speak.

[@davidwickboldt712]

​@@verteupcan't learn a damn thing flapping your lips. There is always more to learn. My granddad told me to learn anything anyone is willing to teach. You never know when you can apply it.

[@verteup]

@@davidwickboldt712 I never said a word about learning bud. Don't know where you got that from. Perhaps you're speaking to somebody else?

[@davidwickboldt712]

@@verteup I am agreeing with your statement. Also you did mention learning as the guy is learning so he knows what his daughter is saying. You talked about listening. Good listeners learn from others if they weed out the bs to get useful info. People that only talk do not gain and rarely provide much. As they talk down to people.

[@vetosentti]

Those time-lapses are an absolute joy to watch, massive respect for sharing the process!

Surprised that so much work and material used is still cheaper then a replacement jaw. Kudos for a great achievement!

[@SirensC3]

Damn brother. If my boss had told me to fix that I would have walked off the job. You are the man.

[@Jonodrew1286]

Absolutely superb, methodical and top job. You are a powerhouse of patience, I would imagine part of you saying ‘what the hell am I doing’? And the other side saying ‘you can do this, you have done this’ & Many brick walls in between. The prep and calculation is certainly the most important part of the process - Certainly a big tribute to your skill, I do believe there are only a few people in the world that possess the necessary skills in the different sectors of engineering - I hear many people constantly saying ‘that ls a dying trade and not many people are continuing in it - Id imagine not many people would have took that job on 👍👍👍👍👌

[@edcew8236]

[@peterhall6656]

Impressed with the looks of your welds! Well done my welding brother! Cheers

[@GunfighterAlpha]

Found your channel the other day when Part 1 popped up in my recommended. As someone whos looking at getting into welding as a trade, I can sit though hours of this footage at a time. I'll certainly be giving your entire channel a binge over the next few weeks, should net you some solid playtime lol. Cheers from Nova Scotia my friend. Stay safe.

[@paulgerrity6077]

Damn dude! One hell of a challenging repair. Just on the preheat alone. Must have been 7-9k US in consumables, not including electricity. Wow. Amazing work.

[@jackelrdhdhd4534]

I greatly enjoy your channel ! OUTSTANDING THNX / when I was 15 my parents got me a 200 amp buzz box, I proceeded to weld everything in site together much to their dismay. 50 years later a little better but much wiser.

[@cinemaipswich4636]

I worked for a large engineering company and we had a similar casting. We had to build a furnace around the part, and slowly heat it up to 400 Deg C. Then we welded it, closed the door, and slowly cool it down. Metals have what are called fractal crystals, with Martensite boundaries between them. That is where cracks occur.

[@jameslonergan4581]

Daunting doesn't even begin to describe that job. Amazing

[@gordonauld5945]

I have watched for 2 hr.now might as whell continue to the finish took you more than 3 days I'd have to say I've got it easy I'm learning thank you for your work.

I saw it at the start and thought how the hell is he gunna repair this where it still has structural integrity and u have shows utter determination and pure skill i hope your boss appreciates you!!!

[@catabaticanabatic3800]

Stunning work. I kind of almost miss that kind of stuff in a strange sort of way. Brutal when you're bent double for hours on end. It takes a toll. You got to like your own company when you're a welder.

[@ypaulbrown]

[@lorenrasmussen338]

Yep…. Either bending over or squatting and sunburning your shins. Aggravating the arthritis and admiring your work even if nobody will ever see it to appreciate talent.

[@heartobefelt]

Great job working on this beast! I really like how you show the full footage of getting the job done and not cutting down the video time to a quick 20-30 min montage. I'm not a welder but my dad did a good amount of welding on our farm when we were kids.. I love watching this stuff and you explaining the complexity of working big jobs, the pre and post heat treatments to ensure the stresses in the metal don't tear it apart. I've heard you compare yourself to Kurtis from CEE and ICWeld .. you are all experts in my mind and you have different specialties that are unique to the type of work that you do. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. Cheers from Canada :)
