Foundation Drill rig Problems (PT 2)

Hey guys, sorry it took so long but here it is. This is a long one so break out the popcorn, your favorite drink and pull out the recliner. This was a multi day job that we were happy to help the customer with. Lots of welding and lots of torch cutting as you have already seen. Thanks again for the support and enjoy.

hilarious comment.....you got that right....

[@ronbuckner8179]

You are easily the best in-the-field welder I’ve ever watched. Your work is beautiful, a craftsman extraordinaire. Now, get back to work.

[@Spitter-ud8jd]

Nobody can really understand what a PITA job that was unless they have done that kind of work. Anybody can run a bead in a shop with AC an heat but do it on your knees upside down in 25 mph wind that's a Welder. You deserve a " A ATTA BOY"👍🍻

Your camera work always documents your emphasis on weld quality and project safety. Outstanding 2 part video!

Nothing more enjoyable than watching a gas axe master sharing his skillz.

[@rareaussie6960]

G’day love your work! I watch both you and Curtis! Your are both amazing artists at your trades both very accomplished boilermakers in your own styles! I’m an old boilermaker from the late 70/80 and hardly used a mig never tig 98% of my wedding was stick and all my cutting was with the gas axe! It’s beautiful watch you work I take my hat off to you sir incredible welder and as far as I can see a very sincere man the way you involve and capture your followers and teach them as you work is amazing to see very kind individual ! What more can I say but thank you 👍🇦🇺

Isaac you are an inspiration to us all. Factory floor weld quality in a field repair situation. Amazing skill you have been blessed with. Thank you for sharing.

[@gorillaman08zx]

Watching you and CCE has encouraged me, long story short I’ve tried to have a custom trailer built for my gutter business for about seven months, put two deposits down and every manufacture or dealer keeps changing the design and price so I’ve gotten to the point where I said screw it. I’ll build it myself. Just ordered all in $5000 welder/two 330 tanks, 200amp spool gun, and I’m gonna learn how to weld to build it myself.

[@2nickles647]

After a canopy frame was going to cost me 2500.00 I said heck with it. My awesome neighbor donated pipe. I was so surprised. I cut the pipe. Made a jig. Bought a bigger/better welder than I had before. Then started the welding. Took me a week. Cutting. Fitting. Tacking and finally the welding. I enjoyed the whole process. Standing up the frame and the final welding. My wife stood back and admired my work. I have an awesome canopy frame built by your truly.

[@gorillaman08zx]

@@2nickles647 seeing the crap coming out of Indiana and Georgia has helped me make my decision. I will learn how to properly weld also be helped and supervised by a friend of mine that’s been welding for over 30 years. Might take me a little longer than them to build, but I know it will be built Square and correctly no half ass welds, half ass bonded siding, half ass built doors, half ass painted frame. Half ass thin wood inside the trailer.

[@Nick-ih5em]

Just curious why you spent 4 grand on a welder when you don't know how to weld. You could have spent a quarter of that and got a welder to learn on and that would do the job just fine.

[@gorillaman08zx]

@@Nick-ih5em because I don’t like cheap tools, have you ever heard the quote “ buy cheap tool cry every time you use it, buy quality tool cry once” like I said, I own a gutter business and I’ve been pretty good buying quality tools that last. $4000 now that I think about it it’s probably closer to $5000 for a multi processing pulse,TIG,stick and MIG, 200amp spool gun, and water cooled TIG unit awesome duty cycle with two 330 tanks isn’t crazy. When I set my mind to something I do it so I will learn how to weld. It’s not rocket science.

Incredible monster of a welding and repair job, ISAAC! The way you did your cutting for the prep work of the new material, outstanding. Laying down that flux core in those windy and out of position conditions, and digging it in like a stack of dimes, WOW! You sir, are a MASTER! ⭐️👍⭐️👍⭐️👍⭐️👍⭐️👍

You three guys are my salvation. It eoukd take too long to explain what I mean by that, but just know I'm an engineer with three sides to my business. Car mechanics, bodywork fabrication, and heavy plant welding. Don't let it be too long for your next instalment. I can't stand the pressure. 😂👍⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@joshbyers9394]

Just recently found your channel, haven't been through your collection entirely yet but I'll get there lol. But I wanted to thank you for everything you do for your viewers. I'm by no means a professional welder but more of a weekend hobby. I personally prefer stick over wire, just something soothing about it for me. Anyway, I've picked up a few tricks from watching you that have helped me a good bit with my technique. Had a couple friends ask me where I learned how to do what I do, I told them to check out your channel. Hopefully I got you a couple more subs :) Thanks again for the great content. Get your son in here more often, makes for some really good videos with you two working together 👍👍

[@ICWeld]

I appreciate that. Glad the videos have helped!

[@bubbagreensmith7174]

Isaac at his trickery again! Nice work Isaac 👍👍

[@jp-um2fr]

I have been in heavy engineering all my working life, from Craft Apprentice to Chief Design Draftsman. I think that means that when I see another engineer, I know it. You, like me, seem to be a dying breed. I was called 'the best bodger on earth', fixing crap nobody else could at home. Not a very flattering term, but the more you think about it, the more it fits. I'd buy you a pint (English beer) any day. Take care.

[@ypaulbrown]

Issac, you and your Son are the best to watch......best wishes from Florida, Paul......have a cold drink on me my friend......

[@brian_2040]

Im not sure who it was that left a comment about Isaac's torch skills, but they were right. He is a beast on a torch.

[@richardlincoln8438]

That was an interesting session of torch work to remove the pivot pin Issac. My guess is 12 pounds of wire to stitch it all back in place. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends.

[@djmips]

:D Now that's a great story!

[@kevinwassellsr.5646]

I made a slide hammer like that for pulling pins on presses. I welded a single chain link on hammer, then I could loop a shop rag in it and really give it the smack daddy.

[@bigalhudson]

I’ve been waiting for part 2 so thank you. Immaculate job. I’ve been hobby welding now for about 5 years mainly on car rust repairs, thin sheet and constantly blowing through. If I could run a weld 1/4 as good as that looks I’d be happy. I couldn’t work out how you would weld up the back side of the shaft. Lift the boom up. Sometimes the answer is so obvious. Very interesting and again thank you. Al from the U.K.

That's a nice job u sure can stack them welds makes it look real good thanks for the video always interesting watching u

[@FirstLast-jl6fr]

Always amazed by the cutting power of a gas torch. Just glad I'll never be a tank driver. Looks like a use case for inventing some kind of internal bore rotating torch cutter that could have cut those inside shoulder welds free from within the tubular pipe.

[@marklelohe3754]

Your cautious approach to expose the interface edges is excellent in avoiding all of the pitfalls created by the original construction being different than that needed for the repair welds. The wisdom of experience over assumption. The fatigue failure at the broken end of the trunnion is due to the bending stresses at the weld. To avoid this problem the new trunnion would better being solid rather than tubular. But I guess they supplied a new tube to match the existing to save time instead of making an improvement.

[@vhostovich]

Thanks for the longer video.

Very nice repair (as per your usual). I think that machine is literally “tearing” itself apart (over a period of time, at least), that design with the 2 large & long cylinders, are putting a huge stress right on the pieces you replaced. Almost seems like those cylinders should be operating from the opposite direction (angle). But, I am just an “armchair” viewer, with my KZbin channel issued “engineering degree”…., hahaha..!
