Those eye protection techniques are next level, the hand-shield technique, the look away technique, and my favourite the peek-a-boo face shield technique. This is what safety looked like in the USA 100 years ago.

Safety out the window! 100% penetration out the window! Nice work tho.

[@schlaznger8049]

I'm still surprised they have electricity. P.S. those welds are going to break as they have no penetration and a weld groove was never cut.

[@daronsteele7976]

I have seen better welds from first year welding students. Welding over paint no way those will hold. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.

Well I guess if you ever wondered where scrap cruise ship metal went, here is your answer lol

[@SantaClaw]

cm precision work right there, not that high precision is called for on all the stages. Some impressive work with the blowtorch, especially the first guy doing freehand cuts through 3 cm plate. Extremely skillful work. If I had a real complaint, it would be the lack of cleaning the metal before welding, and the lack of safety.

[@Yannaro_Kim]

They do what they must to provide for their family.

[@erasethepatterns1]

It would have been nice to see a bevel cut here or there with some of those critical joints. But you gotta have customers soo don't build it too well. They'll need repairs down the road. Once a customer, always a customer.

[@user-jt4lt4ro6g]

[@armyranger9346]

I can't believe that bucket would last five minutes digging anything but mud. They didn't bevel their butt welds, they didn't grind off paint, rust, slag, dirt, etc. before welding, their long welds were more or less a group of spot welds instead of a stabilised, continuous and even weld, etc., etc.. This video should be shown in welding classes as an example of what NOT to do.

[@dr.feelgood374]

Don't be to critical on them, their the reason Richie Brothers auction has something to sell.

Was anyone watching this expecting that at the very end that the camera goes to the back of their garage to see some guy smoking a cigarette pedaling a bicycle really fast that’s powering all of this equipment????😂

[@lzed223]

Plates should be beveled and cleaned before welding. They'll flex and the welds will break. No welding tracks in wear area to reduce wear on surfaces.

[@marcelh85]

Just my thoughts

[@lzed223]

@@marcelh85 But then again they are working on less than ideal conditions and all they dig is mostly sand/fine gravel. My hats off to them anyways. All I can do is snot weld.

Did honestly expect them to make a quality product

[@satan101101]

I’m not really care that much about surface rust or contaminants when using stick welding,But about the plate that need to be beveled? I’m agreed with you,it’ll be whole lot stronger if they beveled it.

[@VenturiLife]

Yep does need the bevels, then fill with weld, and just some general grinding/sanding to clear the area being welded from contaminants.

[@nalgene247]

Breathing those welding fumes can not be healthy. It is really cool to see a crew make the bucket from scratch, more or less, though. The dirty metal welds drive me nuts haha

[@sitabongamdokwe8899]

These guys have never heard of safety in their entire career. They don't even grind off the dirt on the material they just weld not even chamfer the plates before welding. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

You guys are like building a Canoe with just only an Ax, where Integrity is not an issue, as long as it floats. Tacking 2 thick steel plates without even beveling the sides for sure weld penetration. I am sure that you guys have hand drills that could bore holes for the bolts of the side plate for better fit, but opted not to use it. You have an Angle Grinder so I am sure you have a Hand Drill.

Looks like its bring your family to work day in most these videos. Inbitinv friends and kids to work is askinv for trouble. And i am yet to see these men use a mig welder. Welding over paint? Yeah why not, the rest of the bucket is likely to fail. My money says this bucket will last a fraction of the time a properrly consttucted oem one will.
