Torch cutting big plate.

Hey guys, I was looking over some of my older photos and videos on the computer and I found these old gems. These clips were from some work I did back in 2017. These clips have been reposted so many times its unbelievable. wish I had a Nickle for each time I've seen it replayed. either way, I hope you enjoy this short video. Kick back for a few minutes and let me know what you think. As always, Thank you in advance for your support.

The cutting torch is commonly referred to as a "gas axe". In Isaac's hands it becomes a "gas scalpel". Simply amazing!

[@michaelminers2612]

Could not agree more!! Genius

[@manga12]

@@michaelminers2612 yea that second cut I dont even think you could cut that thin with a saw i mean yea it decarbs and slags the surface but that was an even unburned out thin cut off. as good or better then some machines, especially when you have someone that dont use the machine as often and gets an ugly cut. and if there is a better worker with a torch I have yet to see them in my feed, and thats a thick chunk of metal got to keep it steady or it will not get an even cut very easy to go too fast

[@barrygordon5223]

Well said! He’s not only a craftsman, but an artist as well.

[@ezrhino1803]

Isaac is a fricking surgeon with a torch. no deviation in distance from the piece. no deviation in speed while cutting. I've yet to find anyone better using a torch than him. Mad props to you Sir Isaac.....

[@jimhoran5445]

100% true!

Could probably do cataract surgery on ya

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Well said!

[@canniballectus2560]

Yes indeed, I love watching his torch work.

[@markB40]

He takes his time to get in a position that suits him…doesn’t rush things just to show off

[@jeffreybrookes9731]

I am 61 years old and learned torch cutting when I was a young teenager. I even learn to weld with a torch before I ever used any type of electric welding machine. Not much impresses me these days but your skills with a torch are out-of-this-world. You torch cut like a laser. Simply Amazing!!!

[@Frank-Thoresen]

Same with me. I learned welding with gas torch before ARC welding. Did all of the cutting with gas as a metal fabricator building off-shore rigs.

[@robertoobregon3750]

Learned my freshman year of high school, sure wish still had those 15 yr old eyes. Bifocals makes things tough, those cheap reading glasses help but it's not the same.

[@glenngosline1710]

When I was younger about 1981 I worked as a burner in a tank fabrication shop. I learned a lot on using a torch. Extreme torch skills. You are a true craftsman.

[@MrLentiscais]

A true artisan/craftsman. Almost makes powersaws and workshop machinery obsolete. Amazing skills.

[@arustydodge2111]

Like a hot knife through butter! Your torch skills are phenomenal!!!! Your travel speed and distance from tip to work piece are like a machine. After watching you cut like this, I put up my screens so no one sees my cuts!😉 Thank you, ISAAC! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@dennisleadbetter7721]

I know what you mean, it takes a lot of skill and practice to do that freehand, especially in some of those akward positions where you cannot get comfortable.

[@BruceBoschek]

Heavy metal surgery! You never disappoint! Thanks for this amazing video.

[@dav1dsm1th]

Astonishing skills with a torch. That first cut, where the entry and exit cuts are straight and exactly in the same plane is amazing. Most people would struggle to get the entry cut straight - but to create an almost perfectly flat surface that long AND that wide is just next level. Amazing. Thanks for the videos. Stay safe out there.

[@aliasaila8818]

Everything you do looks so incedible easy. I love watching your torch handling. It's amazing.

[@gordonhagge7195]

Your freehand cuts are truly amazing. I have been watching your videos for a long time. I am still amazed by those cuts.

[@johnblecker4206]

His freehand cutting is about the best on KZbin.

[@99unclebob]

another awesome video Issac, back in the mid 80's i worked for CML Northern Blower here in Canada ,we built exhaust/fresh air units up to the capacity 1 million cubic feet of air a minute and for the pedestal base of the unit we used armour plate usually 2- 3" thick and all torch cut, using a guide, i could do a bit of the 2" thick and i sure learned how to be patient, to plan and take my time cutting, couldn't afford to make mistakes, i could never cut freehand like you do, that is an art all in its own, that steel looked smoother than a Sunday roast beef dinner when you were done 👍

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

STEADY HANDS and torch control is amazing !

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Wow you should have a video on just torch cutting and technique. You make it look easy but I know that's because of skill. Your torch work is always incredible.

[@Oliver-Phil]

I agree a video on just his torch skill and adjustment and settings would be great to know

Those back ripper buckets are killer. I worked on one for a company digging a slurry trench for environmental remediation years ago. They will rip some hard ground. Nice looking welds as always Isaac.

[@AquaPeet]

It's amazing how you can stay focused during such a long cut. My mind would wonder off and I'd be constantly reminding myself to stay with the procedure!

[@carlbrooks68]

That is a Great amount of skill and You Know he is Just so Humble About it. Thank you, sir, for always Showing others Great Methods and skillset.

[@markhanson8366]

Yeah ,Yeah! Renoir, Monet, Picasso, Modigliani and all the 'masters. There's no record of 'watching' these great artists; only the finished work. Here, with IC, we get to witness analogous artistic skill and expertise! In 300 years, they'll be studying IC's palette and his metal 'canvas'. TY for today!

[@jamesnelson1756]

I'm so impressed with your torch work and welding. The straight lines cut freehand are quite a feat! Enjoy watching and learning.

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Serious talent and YEARS of experience !

[@shawnjarman9860]

I was just talking to a machanic buddy of mine yesterday, telling him how great you are with a cutting torch! Professional inspire to get to your level!

Surgical skills with that torch. Great video

[@edwarddavis507]

Pretty amazing! I thought it was interesting how the slag didn’t want to let go on the second pass with the cutting torch. Gives you a real sense of how much metal Isaac was cutting through.

I want to nominate Isaac's Leatherman for best supporting actor! That little thing makes an appearance in almost every video, and just keeps on going. 😉

If it matters, I think it's a Gerber Multiplier, not a Leatherman. I carry one and it's very handy, as well as pretty tough.

[@wyliecoyote1]

A waster cut, good to make two or more cuts when the opportunity presents itself. The first or more cuts, the waster, to check the pressures, get a feel for the thickness, and preheat the metal for the final cut. Looks good.👍

[@michealfigueroa6325]

Years when I use gas to weld and cut I made good gas welds but was NEVER happy with the cuts Today I learned two things , solid postion and practised cutting paths TY 4sharing

Man alive, watching the nozzle of the gas torch, it's like it is machine mounted, there is almost zero deviation from the track. Very impressive as always. Not bad at all.

You absolutely have the steady hand, my cuts looks like they got chewed apart by a rat!

Clean the tip and more preheat. you can do it.

[@danielww9022]

Ok. Just when I thought I was pretty good with a torch, this cat comes along and slices 4 inches with no preheating and results that are pretty much ready to fit and weld. I'll just be over here on the side...holding my wife's purse.

[@ICWeld]

I failed to mention I did preheat the material but not enough. the cuts were a bit serrated at first.

[@sanjaysami4315]

This is machining with a torch. Ridiculous skills

Hi Isaac, I envy your steady hand with the torch, especially in some of those akward positions and the thickness of the plate. I hope you are teaching your son those skills too.

Isaac great video. Thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe

[@jimhenderson9512]

A very nice job for sure,however if you score the line where you want to cut with a cut off disc,about one sixteenth of an inch the flame will want to follow the score. If you cut to the scrap side of the line you will have a nice smooth straight edge left on the good side, be able to cut with less pre-heat flame producing a nicer cut. This tip is more for your viewers who want to improve your game as there is absolutely nothing wrong with your technique.
