Belling Tool Repair.

I found an old set of videos from back in 2020. This is of a belling tool used in the Foundation drilling industry. These tools help cut a wider footprint at the bottom of drilled shafts in dirt. It provides a wider base for the concrete to help support the column. Follow along as I make some repairs to a torn off Wing. Thank you for your support and please consider subbing. Thank you guys.

Listening to "Maybe, kindda, hopefully". I had a wry smile, thinking, I'll bet its been a long time since you had to repair some of you're own repair work. 👍👍

[@MasterHustler]

Learn something new all the time. Did not know that plasma did not care about dirt, while oxyfuel does not like rust.

[@warrenjones744]

"Didn't want to work today". "Maybe...Hopefully....Sorta"...! I don't know about anyone else, but I found those moments amusing. Anyway that's a cool tool. You must be a valuable asset to the drilling guys. Everything they do is trying to rip their machinery to bits up from day one. Kinda like rock crushers! Cheers

[@ronaldziehlke9720]

Your rather dry sense of humor never ceases to amaze me. Lol Have a Happy Turkey Day!

[@SimpleLife1971]

When I first saw it I said; "if anyone can repair it Issac can"............👍👍👍👍

IC Weld Facts: You will never see IC Weld doing an endorsement spot for Manscaped on his channel. He is just THAT good with an oxy-acetylene torch. #icweldfacts

[@BruceBoschek]

Oh man, when I saw how much of that thing was missing I thought there's no way...but then I thought of Isaac doing the repair and sat back and relaxed, assured of perfect results. Great job, as always. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Isaac, and to all of the folks who enjoy your videos.

[@mikeznel6048]

Its pretty easy actually. The other side is conplete so you just make a mirrored copy of it. The hardest part is the out of position welding and that's not even really hard if you know how to do it.

[@davidmunro1469]

Thank you. The way you do jobs reminds me of the way boiler makers built the machines of the American industrial revolution.

[@kristianskov4841]

Watch and learn......the teacher is in.... 🙂👍

Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!

Those grinder sparks shooting directly into the camera where like good old windows starfield screensaver ;-)

As they say in the MARINE CORPS, OUTFU__KINGSTANDING! You are a man after my own heart! I Apprenticed under the tutorial of Journeyman Steamfitters LOCAL UNION 598 Pasco Washington now retired after 32 years. We made all of our own special rigging blocks and tackle. Pipe lineup clamps, Heavy duty Jack Stands etc. Watching you run that GAS AXE brought back alot of good memories! BRAVO MY FRIEND!

[@aaronskaates3391]

I would say its called a belling tool because it is creating a bell footer. I really enjoy your videos , keep them coming.

[@rogerhodges7656]

Belling increases the bearing surface of the pier. Piers are supported by the bearing surface and the skin friction on the sides of the pier. They are commonly used in southeast Texas (Houston area, USA) where soils have a low load bearing capacity. Among other uses, they are often placed under traditional grade beams to support traditioal concrete slab construction.

[@uglysteve1]

Sweet! Thanks for the long video. Have a great Thanksgiving.

[@gaz0463]

It’s great to watch the master at work.

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Thanks for sharing Issac, hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

[@lscott6088]

The bar you use to align your torch, is it a block of aluminum?

[@timothyball3144]

@@lscott6088 The first time he used it here, when he set the torch on it and was dragging it back and forth, you could definitely hear that it was aluminum.

[@ICWeld]

yes

[@lscott6088]

@@ICWeld thanks. I thought it was. I looked for those Gerber pliers. But the selections are numerous, could you please check the part number and let me know if not too much trouble sir?

[@ICWeld]

@@lscott6088 I use an older version of the gerber mp600 blunt nose pliers

You Sir are one reason that makes this country so GREAT.

[@milkmansteve1]

lol maybe, kinda , hopefully , sorta .. Always enjoy watching the master work.

[@bluegryphon3102]

Outstanding repair! Just goes to show how practical knowledge, years of experience, a can-do attitude, and confidence gets the job done. I'm certain that many welders would fail here even if they had engineer drawings! You do get balls deep in some tough and interesting repairs, proper respects to you, my friend! Thank you for the videos, Happy Thanksgiving!

[@kenanderson9331]

Watching you work is as soothing as listening to water flow in a brook. I usually start with my eyes open but end up with them shut and reminiscing the days when I was on your side of the torch. I appreciate what you do and your skills that you display. Thank you.

[@levitexas348]

Made thanksgiving a little better thanks Icweld.

[@donnkelley6823]

That's really cool..... We've got several in the yard, but Calif doesn't allow belled holes..... Too much (unreinforced concrete) according to CalTrans......

[@billtheunjust]

These clients must be special, you pulled out the holy steel for their job.

[@thelement3363]

That ellis looks good in the background, i miss my 1600. Nice work, keep it up brother.

[@davidbarnett.2313]

Man, I really got a handle on this. Just gave a thumbs up to my own comment! Seriously, I love your work.

[@araofmadisoncasey4247]

love the one-word commentary .... we all do this

[@kevinknight470]

Never saw a belling tool, but with the wings extended it reminded me of a giant steel penguin. IC is like an artist that can see the painted picture before he touches the canvas. Good job!

[@andyrecord]

It was the "sorta . . . . . . . . . kinda. . . . . " moment where I laughed out loud!

[@mineown1861]

Maybe , possibly, kinda , sorta , is a great strategy to avoid the dangers of tempting fate . Too many people have uttered the famous last words , this'll be no problem .

[@anthonyallwood593]

Always find your videos so interesting always something different keep up the good work

[@jamesbruno5896]

Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours

[@EarnhardtFan]

I enjoy your videos. I also like that you are teaching your son the trade, One day he will thank you. Be safe.

[@bigunone]

First I love how even you can forget the metal is hot when you were using the plasma cutter in the beginning Second As if it wasn't going to be a perfect repair

[@dehalfacre2370]

Who else would agree i think i could watch a couple of hours of this. The welding and techniques are so good a lot can be learned by just watching. No need for the fast forwards. Great video. Go to see not every job is smooth. Gives some of us hope that even the professionals have a hard time sometimes.

[@billn6534]

A little funny to see that the "POPS" can make you jump as much as they do me. 😁😁😁

[@heavydiesel]

Where would we be without people who can fix things?

[@paulsutherland1328]

Im 64 if I were a young man. You would be the man I would want learn from. You should hire an apprentice.teach him your craft. You have so much to offer.

[@mongomay1]

Thank you IC, Everyone hope you get to enjoy your families and friends on this 2021 Thanksgiving Day, no matter your situations... Thank you all for sharing!

PS I have to say I'm sorry you'll by far the best fabricator I've ever had the pleasure to watch and I know that I may have said some things in the past that weren't true and I respect you now more than I ever on KZbin I've learned more watching you than I ever learned from anyone in school

[@normanehrstein6088]

That's the first time I have ever seen you use a chipping hammer, have been watching for a long time, enjoy every video.

[@pa6390]

Nice work kid.

[@LoBeau53]

Adapting to a plasma torch when you are use to oxy/act, is a challenge but worth the effort. I see you cutting with your welding shield whichI found too dark. I use the grind function on an auto darkening shield or regular cutting goggles and have never experienced any eye problems. I wish I had a higher amperage plasma cutter but don’t do enough heavy work anymore to justify one. I can cut 3/8 but 1/4 is the comfort zone. I pay a penalty now for my bottle rentals because I don’t use enough gas. I do like your aluminum cutting guides

[@rclc93]

Another great video

[@aserta]

Why would you think we wouldn't believe you were better with a torch than a plasma? You are a master with that cutting torch so it's not hard to believe. I just wish I was half as good, great job Isaac.

[@joelburgstaler1458]

Nice work, as always Isaac. Thank you for keeping the great videos coming. Too bad for the missing footage. I love the longer videos where you talk out your reasoning and approach to the problems. The way you keep calm and approach every issue one step at a time can teach many of us. Again, thank you for sharing and Happy American Thanksgiving from Canada.

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

Which ever way you cut it that’s a truly impressive repair. 10 points .

[@markreetz1001]

Great work. I am always impressed with how you can take a look at a repair and dig right into it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Watch your toes! (19:48).

[@ronaldheit196]

Love watching you take a totally wacked out piece of equipment and put it back together better than new. I've no doubt that other side will break way before the side you repaired ever will. Bummer about the lost footage but you know what happens at the most inconvenient times. Since I can't weld anymore due to getting a pacemaker I'll just hitch a ride on your coattail videos.

[@marksweldingmech.srvcs.9881]

Beautiful sound of the torch at 18.15 or so

[@TalRohan]

I am not surprised you did a fantastic job but I was surprised at how big that thing is, I couldnt tell until I saw you in the frame..... Its huge. Useful bit of kit in sandy or clay ground. Cracking job btw

Superb,no nonsense job.. 🇬🇧

[@keithadams8064]

Absolutely awesome watching your skills and I have learned that you use the nut of the torch tip to run along the edge of your board,got to get comfortable when you work. Keep making these videos so the younger ones can use it to keep the trade alive.

[@Trackhawk735]

😎You do excellent work. I love your videos.😍

[@georgestender7172]

You are an Amazing Craftsman, You plan out every move you make. For example, the Lifting of the work piece and placement of the rigging to accommodate the Twist to land it on the Blocks. I look forward to your videos, take care!
