I found out about CEE and Kurtis through Isaac. Love watching both these fellas and always learn a thing or two.

[@timobrien9701]

When I grow up I want to be like you guys.

[@thebanjoman1963]

Like my Granny used to say.. "Make a "Silk Purse" out of a Sows ear".. Good job with what you had to work with!!! 🙂

[@donmunro144]

This man has the hands of a surgeon. I wish I was that steady with a torch.

[@aserta]

For sure, i mean look at 12:28. If i were to try that hold, my torch would be all over the place. :))

[@horstszibulski19]

I would really like to work with Isaac and learn from him...seems that he just isn't the guy boasting " I did this for 30 years plus for a living, I know it all!", rather being surprised how things work out and learning on the go... Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

[@branchandfoundry560]

A little bit of humble goes a long way. I'm finally getting to the age now I've had my teeth kicked in enough the ego is subsiding. Feels much better to take it as it comes these days. Funny when we're younger we worry folks will think we don't know anything if we say, "I don't know." Once we get a little older, we realize folks appreciate the honesty.

[@tmscheum]

Isaac is the epitome of working smarter not harder! Great job, as usual!

I hope the YT computer doesnt catch it.

[@BrooksideFarmBarreMA]

Sometimes I watch you do things and I'm like.. yup, that's how I'd do it. It's nice to know I'm either not crazy.. or not the only crazy. 😁 Well done, sir 😀👍🏻

[@charleshodge6202]

Isaac, the word in the welding world about gaps is this...If you can step across it, it's close enough to weld!! Good job. Always like your projects.

[@markb3129]

I always enjoy you making lemonade out of lemons.✌🏻

[@F350-k8r]

Just watched Cutting edge engineering Australia, he made a comment that he watches your show. Two very creative and talented people. Thanks a great deal for your vids.

[@mineown1861]

Whatever you video , whenever you can , always learn something watching your work . Thanks for another great video , and hope you have a great thanksgiving.

[@marklowe330]

I was concerned about those pieces springing when you cut it apart. I was thinking i would have had to tack a piece across those tubes before cutting that tube out. But i had confidence that you had it covered,even if it moved. Thanks for your time. I enjoyed watching as always.

[@dolphincliffs8864]

Ratchet strap if it does but I would rather do what you suggested first.

[@DReyFernandez-m8v]

When people start a project from scratch it's not that difficult, repairs are always a challenge great job 👍

[@cowleysmobilewelding]

Props to you. I would have never touched that trailer. Jankiest built thing I've ever seen

[@warrenmichael918]

might look janky but it looks like it has put in many years of service, seems like its doing its work like intended.

[@lear31awalker48]

a new video to watch after eating to much turkey. thanks for the holiday upload

[@BruceBoschek]

Not quite as easy a job as it first looked. The simple circle template was a good idea. Thanks for letting us watch. Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.

[@steven.h0629]

Getting better with that *Chainsaw* 👍😎✊

[@carolynbatta9525]

Great work ….small jobs teach a lot ….please remember to include…Amps…Rod Type…Technique ….thanks from all of us!

[@ICWeld]

I keep forgetting that. I'll try and remember.

[@terryperrott9913]

Wire feed is so much faster than stick, they both have there advantages & disadvantages . What a great repair job.

[@revert2625]

I like the grinder wheel trick! If you can walk across it you can fill it!

[@ShainAndrews]

I'll lend my engineering knowledge. Getting the receiver tube at a right angle to the trailer deck while being 100% vertical is nice... it is not a requirement. The most important measurement is getting every wheel's distance to the coupling point the same. Even if the top of the receiver tube is pointing off to no mans land... so long as every wheel on a given axle is the same distance to the coupler everything will track correctly. Not a big deal with single axles. But tandoms and up can matter quite a bit. Trailer may not track correctly, and it will induce side scrub on all trailer tires causing reduced tread life while causing additional drag. Little bit I saw of the trailer looked like a very competent individual created it. Aesthetics might get you into the show... but not get you home ;-) Keep up the good work Issac. Wasn't long ago I never saw a plasma in your mitts...

[@ICWeld]

Thank you for the input. It is all very correct information. This trailer was suffering from more than any misplaced hitch that I put back on. I totally agree with you. The whole neck section is bent. The back half of the trailer had a bad warp to it. Plus you can tell this trailer had been overloaded way too much. I would like to think that my efforts are the least of their worries.

[@ShainAndrews]

@@ICWeld Overloaded? NOOOO... Knowing oil field work a load limit is one pound less than what took to break it.

[@allanpepper9651]

Nice work as usual, I like watching people that know their stuff, and you certainly do….. oh yeah, nice 57 in the background…. I’m a rodder as well

[@douglasburford8452]

Nice '57 Chevy in the background.

[@Munguy-i8j]

Thank you for sharing Isaac. The pipe you added is the only straight part on the trailer. 😂😂😂.

[@daleolson3506]

I am working on a 57 Chevy as my winter project. I saw yours in the background. Nice car

[@BareKnuckleBinder]

Bezates is gonna love that ratchet strap! Thanks for another supremely satisfying repair vid!

[@ICWeld]

Haha, yup. Hopefully I made him proud. 😄😄

[@petepeeff5807]

Hats off to all the pipe welders out there. When ever I've had a repair on a pipe weldament assembly it is always more time consuming and complicated than expected.

[@bobcarry4820]

Looks are deceiving. But as usual you overcame the problems and did a great job/

[@donmann8400]

Nice 57 Chevy

[@slackmack]

When I was a soldier, we had a training acronym KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid, it's something I've kept with me to prevent over thinking things and making them more complicated than needed. I love how you seek the simplicity of a job. Snowball Engineering and your self are definitely King's of KISS. (Kurtis will forever remain the primadonna of precision.)

[@ICWeld]

Haha, yeah Kurtis does things on a different level. His machining skills are one to strive for.

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

Is that your 57 in the yard? Sharp looking car.

[@ICWeld]

Combined ownership. Me and my pops.

[@coupster5464]

Amother interesting Vif Usaac, many Thanks.. Likin' the Chevy too !

[@garyyorke1080]

An unusual job for today but work dips work as you say and a bit of variety is good for you . Made sense just chopping it into pieces , allowed you a better view of what's what's..nice job thanks for sharing it

[@josedelrio80]

I’m Ironworker and Structure welder I do fabrication when we do punch list (miscellaneous) and I really appreciate it Isaac what you do in the welding and fabrication community by showing and teaching tricks and ways to do stuff an outstanding welder/fabricator God bless you and your family merry Christmas and happy new year Sir 👍🏻💯

[@jiml9971]

Another outstanding repair. !!! Such a pleasure too watch you work sir.

[@CaineDaCowboy]

Nice 57 👌🏼💯

[@telracs747]

Nice looking '57 Chevy in background! Great work as usual!

[@warrenbridges4095]

Nice work sir.. I used old regular Victor torches for a lot of years until I hired on to a local shop as a fabricator trainer and they used all plasma cutters.. Once I got over the learning curve I absolutely love the plasma cutter now. Such a cleaner & easier way to cut steel. I wish they would have had that technology affordable 30 years ago ..

[@stephenpoe2037]

Nice 57 Chev ! Thanks for sharing ! You keep America going !

[@shortfuse43]

I was surprised to see you cutting out the old pipe with plasma rather than your usual surgical O/A torch. 😊 The new pipe insert was a really nice repair with larger pipe. Well done!!

[@joecool4836]

The plasma makes cutting through 2 layers at once a lot easier.

[@shortfuse43]

[@russellgilson4072]

Issac takes the practical approach to solving problems, representative of the years of field experience, I always something to learn looking over your shoulder!

[@dudeharbaugh5733]

Great use of the grinding wheel for your radius

[@anthonyjohnson100]

Perfect! I love soaking up the knowledge from you guys on here. Sponger for life🧠

[@matthewryan2973]

There is no better feeling than seeing that seam appear when cutting anything like that! Great video!

[@mikeznel6048]

22:45 that’s what I was thinking when you originally said the OD of the new tube. Kind of felt good to see you do that. I could watch you fix stuff all day.

[@TheVideoSteve]

Been watching you for a while. Always enjoyed watching and seeing your fab skills. Plasma cutters are wonderful.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

This is the most plasma work I''ve seen him do!

[@hosspullerl1119]

When doing GN trailers, The height of the truck bed is important to having the trailer run level. Can always lift the hitch height by letting the inner pipe down. But, one can't lower the hitch height beyond the fixed tube..

[@Peter-V_00]

Patience, skill and confidence, the true marks of a craftsman, as always it is a pleasure to see you demonstrate your considerable skills Isaac.

[@robertquast9684]

It always makes me feel good when Isaac goes at a job the same way I have done it granted mine was channel coped for the round coupler but still the same issues fitting

[@09FLTRMM77]

Well done! Your experience and expertise made that look like a work of art.

[@pat.omeara2562]

hi Isaac like the content you always put out respect from Ireland

[@garymurt9112]

The reason for the bolts to face forward, is to take up the slack or the gap between the two tubes, if they where on the side then there would be movement between the two tubes when starting and stopping of the vehicle. I have used the diameter of my grinders to saddle pipe before too.

[@victorriceroni8455]

That is a neat looking trailer.

[@georgewest2096]

Great job, for two months I made gates out of used two inch pipe, I soon made a steel stencil to cut the joints. It's not easy to make them fit well.

[@Prariedog]

Awsome video ,thanks for sharing . Safe travels

Happy Thanksgiving Professor Isaac

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey Issac, I learn something every time I watch!:) I'm rebuilding a 65 F350 with a cute little dump box. The tailgate pivots were a real mess. The inner pivot support is a 3/8" bent U shape with 1/8" side plates welded to the top of the box sides. The rust jacking destroyed the sides and actually bent the 3/8" inner. I had to cut it apart with a cut off wheel to save the inner support. After some cutting, grinding and straightening I welded the pivots back together and then hung the gate on the get the alignment correct for proper fit and operation. Ended up with a 1/8" gap to fill on the one side but then someone told me " it's only steel"!😊 Thanks from Wisconsin

[@ICWeld]

haha, yup, its only metal! Nice work.

[@scotthultin7769]

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Issac don't think a half of a degree out is going to matter. It's sitting on a ball. 😅😅😅 Another great repair from your shop.😊

[@Jimmy_in_Mexico]

I love watching you work through a job. We think alike. I would have done it the same way. Every step you did I would have done the same. The biggest difference is I don't have a good plasma cutter and I would have used the torch and just sliced the weld. I think if I had a arc-gouger that would have been a good video also. But I see how a good plasma cutter is cheaper to work with than anything

[@dimtt2]

Nice job. Now imagine doing almost the same thing but this time all the tubes are 1/3 the size, 0.9mm(0.036'') thick, the geometry has to stay identical meaning that you are not allowed to grind away the converging tubes and the maximum gap to be filled should be well below 0.3mm to be succesfully TIGed. What I just described constitutes the replacement of a complete seattube from a bicycle frame. It is probably the most difficult job a bicycle framebuilder can expect to come up against. I had to do that once back when I used to build bicycle frames and all I can say about it is that it was an absolute nightmare. The sort of repair project that you would never again take up.

[@ICWeld]

I used to weld a lot of thin wall chromoly tubing. I know the feeling. I used to work for an experimental aircraft company. Basically a Kit airplane company. We would weld the framework and Misc items then send it to the customer. Very neat experience.

[@glennbarker222]

Cracking job, well done Isaac. I am still always amazed how steady your hands are when cutting, either with a gas axe or plasma.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Ain't it so!

[@markbeasley5322]

LOL I say that at work all of the time, " It's called work not Happy Fun Time."

[@Rogster559]

Very interesting contraption Isaac looks like a 5 th wheel trailer frame that’s what we usually see a gooseneck on , bloody excellent job getting the neck as close to plumb as you did , didn’t look like 2 sides were any where near plumb or parallel, love your vlogs all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

Interesting, why did you use the plasmacutter an not the gauge method (as usual?) on this project? Tahnks for sharing.
