thanks to @karl casey @White Bat Audio for awesome free tracks. check out his stuff thanks for helping us amateur creators
apologies... story of my life.. some A-hole decided we needed a software update now my app is screwed and I can't get video to correct screen ratio. I detest updates. enough to quit KZbin.
been a long time since I have had a mess like this!!
when I cut the covers off the mess inside was crazy! total destruction!
then I had a close call scared the cxap out of me! it always happens right at the end of a big job!
lots and lots of mig welding, carbon air arc gouging strengthening up with lots of extra metal!
scrap car recycling baler repair in the workshop.
if you like my stuff check out some great channels much better than mine @Cutting Edge Engineering Australia
@I C Weld
to see some amazing metal art featured at the start of video ..check out ..

What we can say without doubt right now, is that @I C Weld and @Cutting Edge Engineering Australia are great too... but nobody else on YT does what you do, right boys? Praise Allistair!

Seeing those weld holes on the plates reminded me of my friend's dad growing up, I had to laugh. You see, he worked for a saw mill as a welder/maintenance man for over 40 years. He had about 2 years to retirement when the owner's son took over the business and didn't want to carry on the family business, so he started forcing the old-timers into early retirement. My friend's dad was on that list, and they gave him 3 months to settle all his tasks before retirement. But he wasn't the type to get mad, instead he got even in the most evil way possible. Every maintenance he did, whether it was saws, forklifts, excavators, the kiln, etc. He would drill a hole and put a big ball bearing inside than weld it up so it would rattle around. Everyone knew what he was doing, and because they were in the same boat they didn't say a word. That young "bast**d as he called him" didn't notice ay all. After 3 months, the kid closed down the saw mill and went to sell all the equipment trying to make easy money...then all those ball bearings started to really do their magic. No one will buy equipment that had a scary pinging sound every time they move! He ended up selling all the equipment at rock bottom, and completely lost his ass on the deal. After the auction, my friend's dad go ahold of all the people that bought the equipment and let them know what he did...laughing the whole time! some of people actually paid him the price differences, he ended up getting about $45k total. He shared it with the other 5 guys from the saw mill, and went on a vacation with the rest. Greatest revenge ever!!! Hope this made you smile.

What a decent guy and a genius as well , wished i,d met him

[@al0zzz]

Those metallurgy books are an incredible gift . The work the chap must have done to afford them is inspiring good video as usual 👍🏻

[@klue507]

The holy trinity of welding and machining repair on you tube in no particular order, Allistairc123, IC weld, and Cutting Edge Enginiering. Thanks for showing what you guys do.

[@chetlockwood1491]

I miss that type of work, 30+ years in power stations, coal fired, it was hard work and dirty work, but at the end of the day/job, I took pride in what I had accomplished. Job Well Done, Spot On Repair, if you don't make it hell for stout, you would see it back. Done Once, Done Right.

[@warrenjones744]

Big hats off to Nick for passing on his father's book collection. I have acquired many books and tools with peoples names and initials inscribed on them and not knowing the background of the previous owner. I often wonder what those men did for work and what they built using them. "I'm getting to old for this shit" LOL At 58 I find myself saying the same thing, but I keep at it! I don't do as much off the heavy stuff as frequently as I once did, my back cannot handle it for long. But man I sure enjoy repairing big machinery made of steel. Cheers

[@DuluthMachineWorks]

That’s some incredible craftsmanship as always. Love seeing the heavy welding and fabrication. I also think it’s great that you wear good PPE- those Adflo systems are amazing, and too many people especially in the small shops don’t take their respiratory protection seriously. Pricey, but worth every penny to preserve your lungs. Keep it up!

[@FishFind3000]

21:11 tell that to my dad. He loves to complain, your working to slow! Nobody’s ever gonna hire you. Yet he calls me every time he fucks something up or can’t figure it out. He’s all about speed and then having to fix it after the fact. He doesn’t understand that taking a minute that think can save you several later.

[@andyp2415]

Nice to see you talk about how much us engineers think about stuff and how much is taken into consideration. Problem solving at its finest.

[@buynsell365]

OMG!!! this was another AMAZING project. I recall you fixed the ram housing that goes on the end of this machine......that cuts the square items up.....that machine was wore out !!! .....Loved the way you over engineered it to make SURE it does not break again....something that the customer may or may not realize right away.

[@Tjousk]

Indeed

[@jimsvideos7201]

Hell of a day when you catch fire at work! I'm glad it wasn't any serious harm, and I am glad you take the time to share your adventures with us!

[@bobthetog7555]

Great skills,! I have a few of those books, The Science and practice of Welding was the only textbook we used for City and Guilds. I still have mine circa 1963.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Look up " Laminar tearing" . It happens when heavy welds are on plates and shrink induce tension stress on base metal which leads to cracks and failure. On boilers welds and metal are annealed to relieve stress on welds and base metal normalising stresses. Excellent work.

[@sparty94]

really impressive job you did on this. a lot more than welding skill, you have to understand the machine, engineering, safety and planning and taking it apart is one thing, but getting it back together is another. thanks for making this video.

[@spangy8405]

30:40 "weld it to itself and use its own rams to straighten the damage" ... DAM Allister 👍 you are the OG of welding. Work smarter, not harder right ??

[@malcdellow]

It must be great having the plasma guy but what would be most useful would be to have a grinder boy to do all of the dreaded angle grinding.

[@jackking5567]

When I saw the damage I said "Ooof". Those fires can happen quickly and cause untold damage and you were lucky to spot it.

[@marcuscicero9587]

that big ram justs twists those left hand plates like licorice sticks

[@jamesoneill3475]

Great video alister... would love to hear an interview with your dad on how all this heavy engineering started and how it became the business it is today..

[@larryskeeper1197]

The machine which marries engine blocks to the back axles.... ⬇⤵⤴➡↗

[@mtabernig]

In my experience with these type of machines, I was a superintendent in a very large recycling company in the US, this type of repairs need a complete desasambly of all components and completly replace all bent and damaged parts. you canot leve any because the fatige in the material. even the welfings are fatigged. Go back with T1 and a bit thicker if you can find some. Try nit to use the carbon ark use an scarifier tip; carbon will leave impurities even after grinding. Make sure to use 110/11 weld rod so the welds do not guive out before anything else.

[@KW-ei3pi]

I hope you are paid very well for your work. This type of welding repair is the worst as far as being hot, dirty, and hard on the body. It is extremely hard work. Regards.

[@tda2806]

Your content is very much appreciated. I found your channel after I found Icweld and then CEE, and I reckon your content is right up there. You manage to convey just how hard this sort of work is, your physical effort, problem solving and pride in a job well done. Please don't let software glitches deter you from posting content.

[@armandssatrovskis1616]

That is an amazing amount of work, knowledge and creative attitude involved! You are doing a great job, and I wish you all the clear mind, fun, creativity, safety and all the best tools you can have!

[@martinthemillwright]

[@richhowe7193]

Massive amount of work, another quality repair Allistair. I know exactly what you mean about stored energy, used to scare the crap out of me when I was a heavy plant fitter. Stuck in the office now, worst I can get is a paper cut. Great video, look forward to the next one.

[@tonyfnd]

Absolutely love these longer videos. Love seeing the bigger projects play out like this. And those books are an amazing gift. Well done again, please keep them coming bro. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Love your work ethic. Watching from 🇨🇦

[@retiredtraffic12]

Just an OUTSTANDING video. I love the long length videos showing details of the thinking process of how you access what steps are needed to proceed. Very thoughtful and time consuming setting up your video shots and explaining to us dummies how this works, you are a GENIUS. Keep up the fantastic work !!!!!

[@mingthemerciless6855]

Brilliant job.

[@mikerobi6100]

great video awesome work too !!! i love the heavy plate used to support the stress

[@stewkingjr]

Superb camera work, especially on the welds! I enjoy these heavy machine repairs/rebuilds.

[@KiwiExpressCream]

Why do I enjoy these videos so much? No idea, but I do. Guess I just like watching experts doing things I would never attempt in a million years!

[@onewhocansea4228]

Epic task completed , super impressive.

[@clintcowles7563]

You are a true craftsman friend.

[@JonDingle]

One of KZbin's best channels for heavy engineering weld repairs. Another epic repair and video!

[@guntherbrixey6439]

I've got a bunch of channels but this is one when it's a shop video I'm watching from start to finish no matter how long. Love the work you do 👍👊

[@PSUK]

Lovely old Press Brake there! Great bit of kit.

[@stephransley4371]

Great job fascinating to see how these jobs are done. What a great gift of the books.

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Nothing too strong ever broke (again)! Nice job!! Very enjoyable to watch 😁

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Most enjoyable. Better overkill than underkill. Amazing bit of work you did there. Andy Australia

[@user-yv5mt9rm3d]

Oh yes! Gonna grab a beer and watch this on the big TV and big speakers! Nice one

[@georgieliverpol]

Great work and thanks for explaining why you do certain things a certain way with all the forces at play

[@glenlockwood5401]

Yet again a fantastic video great work

[@samboslc]

Fantastic job sir. Nice tribute young man and his books for building a lifetime career.

[@stevefrost3509]

Brilliant loved watching thanks

[@theoldbigmoose]

Your skill is a national treasure! Men like you made this beautiful world wonderful for the rest of us.

[@flamingskoda]

One of the best videos I have watched. An epic repair.

[@jesseburns9734]

Great Job God Bless You and your Family!

[@fvg3401]

I have to call you the welding Doctor!LOL Man! you're good.

[@scottweeks6633]

Wow that was a big job Allistair lots of welding awesome work 💪💪👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@garydungelman6530]

Mechanical engineering. You're the best I've seen. You take that structural work to another level you know what everybody says we were all put here for a special reason I think you found yours.. God bless you and yours... be safe my friend incredible work

[@clintcowles7563]

Right on man! I like these longer videos. You're good at what you do that's for sure. And it's a pleasure to check it all out while o drink some coffee and wait on the day light. Northern Michigan here by the way. 4:55 A.M and just about 20° Fahrenheit. Suppose to snow more today. I put together a waste oil heater yesterday. Hot unit!! Well...stay warm and stay safe.

[@bobvincent5921]

Thanks. I really enjoyed the breaking up and rebuilding and since I have never done welding I think it leads to the drama.

[@richardtruesdell8289]

Great job, master machinist and welder.

[@dieselhatz4247]

Great video, I had it on while I was doing the “job list” at home. Can never have enough plate. As for the music, it was really fun to listen to while you gouged and welded, quite fitting. The choices of injury and death are always fun in industry, even when you think it’s safe, there could always be that potential energy waiting to unleash itself upon you. Keep safe out there, and great to see the hood and breather 👍👍

[@DuncanAitken]

Wow, what a job! Feels so daunting at the start, seeing the state of the broken machine. I love the process of how you deconstructed it and knew exactly what the cause of failure was, and how to build it back to prevent that happening again. Awesome work!

[@marinavvs5189]

Awesome works 😊👍 Great 👌👍

[@myteepatriot4643]

Awesome Job of understanding the workings of the Machine and Making it Stronger than the Manufacturers design. If they break that end of the machine again somebody is doing something Very Wrong. I can't see that repair ever breaking again. Great Job just love watching you work on these big Machines.

[@deesunshine9507]

Impressive work!

[@madcapmartin1]

You impressed me... I think if I was faced with that repair, I think my first thought would be to scrap it, but you resurrected it... good on ya.

[@michaelkolb6142]

You need a two thumbs up. Quite impressive.

[@allanwinter4991]

Another first class job Allistair. I have those 3 Engineering Workshop Practice books given to me by my Father 50 years ago who also used them as a Fitter & Turner apprentice and onwards as I did. They are still relevant today as all good practice is.

[@richgallagher70]

From munted to new, outstanding job mate !!!

[@philipmoroz3470]

that is one hell of a proffesional neat job your sklls are a dying trade there are very few people left who can or want to do hard muckey physical work like this in this day and age theres one thing you will always be in work well done

[@melbice9906]

Beautifully explained as usual, it’s not often we get to understand the thinking of a seasoned professional. Your experience is one thing, but the unravelling of the complex problems you face in your work and then being able to see you piece everything back together better than original is truly awe inspiring. Thank you so much for your videos, they are just next level. Much respect from Australia 🇦🇺
