Worn Skidsteer Sweeper bucket

Hey guys so here is a nice little repair of a worn skidsteer sweeper bucket bottom. These things take some abuse because of not being able to inspect them as easily as a regular bucket. In any case, I hope this helps and I appreciate the support.
Here is a link to some of the tools I use

Just wanted to say THANK YOU! you are letting us learn so much over your shoulder! Amazing work as always. I think I can speak for us all and say that we appreciate your videos!

[@Hey_Its_That_Guy]

Well said! Couldn't agree more! Thanks, Isaac!

[@BrooksMoses]

Bringing you a completely sandblasted bucket and precisely pre-cut plates to add to it -- there's someone who respects your work and your time, I'd say!

[@daleolson3506]

Smart guy has probably been around the block a time or two. Not many of those around.

[@jtlpwilliem]

Sometimes it means they want the cheapest work possible. Not saying this is the case but when customers ask me if they can prep parts, or come help me in the shop to do the job, they never accept the bid.

[@warrenmichael918]

@@jtlpwilliem yes, most of the time its because they want to save a few bucks but watching this guy and knowing how good he is, they most likely wanted to save HIM some time because they already know what top notch job they are gonna be getting!

[@emptyb9968]

Thank you for making us feel human. Showing the first and second cuts, why you would do it differently and then just the silliness of forgetting your supply was under the table makes us all feel normal. You help us all feel like we can try some hard work, screw it up, figure it out, and move on. It is inspiring.

[@marionstorm9004]

Your repair skills made the job look easier than it was. Your camera work and editing skills created a "how to" video that will allow anyone to duplicate your work results. I count that as two highly developed skills. No wonder you have such a great You Tube channel. 😎😎

[@andersisacson8262]

Perhaps this bucket wasn't the most complicated job for you. But no matter how tough and difficult a job gets I love your attitude " No biggie we'll fix it". Wish I could have more of that. As always, keep them coming. Love everyone of them👌👌👌

[@RowanClark-gr3cg]

I love the way this channel and CEE complement each other. I don’t watch any other engineering channels

[@raymondrobertson3869]

Try snowball engineering hard working clever guy. Good luck

[@frank-t6857]

Snowball Engineering in UK is another awesome channel to learn from. Same with IC Weld he show the jobs from beginning to the end with success and mishaps included. WatchWesWork gave him (Oliver) a shout out because of Oliver's great work. Oliver is young but work hard to make great content.

[@jorgeposadas1192]

If you only had more customers like that, he got the bucket sandblasted, it must have looked horrible before he took to you. Badass video.

[@MrAlittle5150]

I was thinking the same thing. It's nice when the customer helps out with the prep work before he sends it to you. Especially with it all cleaned up and sand blasted.

[@user-kh2yl6nn3l]

There's Isaac . I was getting a little worried . :)

[@Spike-sk7ql]

You work magic, my friend. It's a pleasure to watch a good tradesman at work. From one to another, it is always a pleasure. Maybe one day I'll upload some auto mechanic stuff, but there's already enough of those guys.

[@user-kh2yl6nn3l]

I learn something, or two every time I watch Isaac . Thanks one more time . :)

[@arustydodge2111]

I could watch you work your “Magic” for hours on end, ISAAC! ALWAYS, lessons learned by me, from your knowledge and experience! THANK you for sharing, and always “schooling” me in my craft and practices! Truly the BEST! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ricksmith-iw2op]

Thanks. I'm not a welder just a guy that own a couple of them and like to fix my own junk. Always helpful advice in your videos.

[@Rogster559]

Always enjoy watching Isaac he explains how and why also not scared to show things that go wrong . Thank you for showing us your trade

[@MrRebar15]

*I C Weld* Bravo well done, always a pleasure to see another video, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@Lucas12v]

Good video as always. You may already know this but because the way the plasma swirls, the cut will always have a good side and a bad side. The good side being more square. The good side on most machines is the right hand side of the torch if the direction of travel is considered the front. So if you're pushing it away from yourself, the right side is the good side. If you're pulling it, the left (your left) is the good side. Left to right movement, good is near side. Right to left, good is far side. Doesn't matter the handle orientation. Just consider the leading side the front. Doesn't matter much on n thin stuff but it can help on thicker. With some machines it's more pronounced than others.

[@TheVespap200e]

Its always good when a old dog learns a new trick or two!😀👍

[@AndreZA979]

Excellent work as usual!

[@wrstew1272]

Once again you make repairs look like they are easy! Sequencing, heat, and skills from a seasoned professional is evident. The cleaning was a break, as was the shearing and hole punching…….but it’s faster and less expensive when you have multi thousand dollar tools in the steel supply facility. Allowed you to do what you’re really good at without the grunt work. Win - win!😊

[@matthewlarson1050]

Thanks for all the great videos, I enjoy watching your projects so maybe someday I'll know what to do when I have to fix my own stuff 👍

[@jacobfoxworth]

Great job getting this customer fixed up. You do awesome work.

[@user-wu7sn7ml7v]

Thank you Isaac. Man that looks good😊

[@yvesf5355]

Great Job Isaac ,When I get one of your New Video to watch I tell my Wife ,My Welding Class is about to Start ,thanks again I really enjoy watching you do your Magic ,and ad a Good Laugh today when you said and My next trick,,,,,

[@alisciamarotta3888]

I'm not a welder Isaac, your videos are always, interesting, informative, educational and entertaining. Thanks for the time to make them. BTW my uncle is a welder/fabricator, old timer off the boat, told him about you on utube....he said "u tube ? U is a channel, NOT a tube, whatza mader U!" 😂😂 He turned 85, on the 23rd, still tinker, does "hard welds" for my brothers landscape business, he loves it.....says it keeps him sharp.

I know the feeling, I am always getting in my own way when doing this sort of job. have a great day and keep the videos coming78 yrs. old retired and loving it Michigan.

[@george8873]

Was really nice of this customer to sandblast it and supply the steel with the scraper edge holes already put into the steel like that. Definitely made your job a bit easier for you for the customer to do that. Too bad all customers weren't as considerate.

[@larryvollmar8763]

As always it comes out as a WIN!! Nice work!👍🏼😊

Isaac it’s always a pleasure to watch you work you’re an artist when your own way you never give yourself enough credit I learned a few tricks overexpanded take the belly out of it new sweeping bucket from bobcat I think silver 42 or 4500 bucks depending how wide they are I wouldn’t be afraid to buy an old one and rehab it like you did by the way I like your gantry how wide or should I say how long is your bottom span where the wheels are I’d like to build one and you’re seen the role really nice without any tipping could you just shoot me a bottom measurement of that where the two rollers are I don’t wanna make it too short so it’s tipsy and I don’t wanna make it too long like a tractor trailer but your seem to work well I’m the guy who sent you the rags Sam bacon do you know who I am and you take care get the kids some more videos I always enjoy your comments be safe take care stay warm your Yankee friend from New England bye

[@steveanderson4768]

Hey Issac, just wanted to say another great video. One thing that caught my attention that nice Quincy air compressor I don’t have a nice one like that but I put an hour meter hooked up to the switch for the 220 V and it runs on to keep track of maintenance Oil in most air compressor pumps needs to be changed summer 250 hours others could be more but there’s no way to keep track. Also when you do change it use Amsoil they bake very amazing products I have a gas compressor with 6000 hours on it that I purchased in 1999 and it runs perfect

[@ICWeld]

Oh excellent. thats a good way to keep track. I appreciate the pointer. Ill have to see where to get one of those. and Yeah, Amsoil is good stuff.

[@MBwelding]

Looks good to me. another fabulous job finished.

[@boogiewoogiebubbleboy2877]

Nice job as usual. Very well explained, executed, and nice welds, by the way.👍 You said you're not keen on plasma cutting because they don't cut straight. Steady on there, fella. A skilled tradesmen like yourself never blames his tools! You are new to plasma cutting, so more practice is required on your part. You will soon make every cut straight. Trust me, it took me about 3 months before I mastered the art. And that is exactly what plasma cutting is. It's an art just like gouging or welding is. Remember the first time you gouged out welds using carbon rod, or gas. The mistakes you made, or how bad it looked? Do you remember when you first cut sheet metal using a torch and how crap it looked? Or what about the first time you used a stick welder? I bet that looked like bird droppings, am I right? Because mine did. I hated using a stick welder but perseverance pays off. Stay with it and test how each cutting tip reacts in different scenarios. See how different thicknesses of sheet or block metals react. You may be surprised that one tip does not cut as well as another one does on different materials. Also, the guide you used. It seemed to look more worn on one side than the other, or was that just the camera angle? In any case, it's much better than the clear plastic one, which came with my first plasma machine. Admittedly, it was cheap but still worked well. Another tip is your cutting technique. You will find it best pulling the torch towards you rather than pushing it away from you. Sometimes, slag can pop up into the path of the flame, causing it to wonder. The end result is a wonkey edge. I know, I learnt the hard way and some of my mistakes cost me money! Also, there is the safety aspect to consider. Once, I was cutting 3/4 inch thick sheet of steel. It was 8 feet long by 4 feet wide. It was cut from the hull of a ship. It was so heavy and me, feeling lazy as usual, I pushed instead of pulled. Suddenly, an explosion occurred, causing molten metal to fly across my shop, hitting my daughter in the face. She was sketching me at work for a school art project and sat 20 feet away. Never the less, it left her with a scar the size of a baked bean on her cheek. Safety first, always, as you never know what may happen. When can we expect a big job. One where your video is, let's say, an hour long?😁 Do you know what would be great, for you to upload 2, no! 3 videos a week🤘🇬🇧🇺🇦⚒️

I've been watching your channel for some time now. You get a lot of positive comments on your welding and techniques. You'd do well starting a 2nd channel with welding classes.

[@markfryer9880]

While I agree with your comments, I would say that Isaac has enough on his plate already. There is is mobile welding business, teaching his son, doing the bookwork even if his wife is doing the majority of the bookwork lsaac is still responsible for the facts and figures. Then there is this channel as well as some pod casts! After all of that Isaac does need some time off for rest and recreation and to spend some time with his wife and family. My apologies to your wife Isaac as I don't know her name! 😢 Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
