You're as entertaining and informatvie as I C Weld, Cutting Edge Engineering and allistairc123. Keep up the good work please!

[@OFW]

Thank you. Their videos are what inspired me to start my channel.

[@CMmobilewelding]

I second this! Love your channel!

[@mariodelgado9729]

@@OFW Dude, you're right there with them, all of you are great craftsmen, you all know your sh*t up and down the street and don't try to bamboozle us semi knowledgeable folk!

[@richardjuergens2660]

I subscribed to your channel after watching CEE for months. Love the content.

[@Keeter94]

Yea I agree Isac does great work! And so do this man! You just got a subscriber sir!

[@jonb7470]

You’re one of my favorite guys to watch on KZbin now. I’m not even a welder by trade, just a cat mechanic.

[@barrygordon5223]

I do enjoy your videos, the way you explain everything that you do. Your customers must be quite grateful that you go to great lengths to turn out a dependable repair, even stronger and better than the original. Awesome work Greg. 😊

[@sjohnson1776]

Having grown up and worked on a farm with lots of different pieces of equipment, I truly appreciate your attention to detail and ability to make it better and stronger than OE. Absolutely awesome!

[@jondavidmcnabb]

That was an incredible repair. You engineered it to be even better.

[@JFirn86Q]

Wow those plasma gouging shots through the hood were so neat! Thanks for doing that. Also appreciate you showing what gear or tools you are using, such as explaining the tips.

[@ItiscalledaMANDATE]

Yea, I wasn't aware there were two different types of tips for the plasma cutters. The gouging, I have done so much grinding...

[@MrDec1129]

The air arc / gouging never ceases to amaze me

[@sellersandson3198]

Thanks for the awesome view of the gouging process. That is the first time I’ve seen a video where it was clear. I want that for my plasma cutter.

[@landroveraddict2457]

The air arc gouging is amazing and no vaporised carbon rod to mess with your lungs. It gives a great finish. Top job👍👍👍👍

[@21lt]

Wow! You definitely know your trade. It’s very satisfying to watch you problem solve and rebuild broken equipment. Keep the videos coming.

[@johnlangley6449]

Awesome work you work day and night your customers are very fortunate but probably don’t realize it 😮

[@donsmith9081]

Incredible talent and a great work ethic makes for a Winner! Thanks for letting us watch.

[@keithhill9138]

I sure enjoy watching videos when they show how they are repairing their current projects. Your video is special because l think nobody has done a video on repairing a tong on a scraper. This should be interesting to watch!

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Awesome repair keep up the great work. You and IC welds and Warren would be a hell of a collaboration. I definitely am looking into that chamfering tool .

[@danielpullum1907]

This is a favorite of mine. Lots of interesting cuts, welds, and crane work.

[@brianpeterson9751]

i just came across your channel and subscribed right away.you have a serious gift when it comes to welding and fabrication.what is so easy to see is that on all jobs you make it stronger than original.im sure your customers see it as well.

[@VetvsWorld]

Being an utter novice with respect to welding (I just began attempting metal sculpting), I remain able to know a professional when I see one. Your welds are those I aspire to make. 👍🏼

[@Brainmalfuction]

Nice work man looks quality cheers from Ontario Canada

[@dougbird8186]

Love those drill bits. Got 1/2" thru 1 3/8". Work great in my mag drill.

[@1234554321ep67890]

Really amazing work! Your attention to detail and inspection not to mention crazy welding skill is awesome!

[@TomTom-pv2ig]

6 hours of fabing and cleaning. 2 hours of welding. Ha ha everrytime! 😅💪💥 good job man.

[@johndoe43]

Always loved the push pull scrapers. That used dirty grease is hell on clothes. Let alone burning up.

[@jeffharjessr.9893]

Thank you for sharing what you do. Enjoy watching a true professional.

[@c4t4l4n4]

Glad I discovered your channel. Super informative and keeping it real without the fluff, 😀.

[@victorjeffers1993]

Sure do like the videos ! Please do keep show them ! I find it amazing at the carnage you come up on and are able to fix even having to duplicate some parts and pieces from raw materials ! You skill is by far tops of most professional shops ! 👍👍

[@javiermgtaoism5702]

Dang!! This is a real fabrication and welding show/class. Respect, Mr. On Fire.

[@winterbabydoo9752]

I work for a company called Les Schwab tire for about 20 years and I did mostly heavy earth movers and logging equipment . I was always working out of my service truck. To me the icing on the cake was when you are alone on the job and you got the whole Job site to yourself, to me it was peaceful. Sending hours by yourself and just taking in the day what a rush...

[@ibereportesferrari8780]

Excelente trabalho!!!! Um grande abraço do Brasil!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@fredberry1342]

Wireless mic would help with the sound sir. I love what you are showing the world.

[@merkyworks]

Being able to actually see the gouging process was awesome!

[@davidmcduffie1398]

I love watching your videos ! ! ! There is no telling what will come up next. Great job ! ! ! ! !

Sometimes you have long days and short nights lol but it's show you take pride in what you do and it shows in the work you do love your videos be safe and have a great day Sam

[@firedchiefpaul]

This was one of your most artistic ones yet!

[@stevenmulholland6016]

Great content - thanks! One small issue please. The music you play between talking is really loud. Any chance you could drop it down to the same level as the talking? Thanks.

[@DaleDirt]

That was a nasty miss happen . That was great to see you completely rebuild the entire attaching points . First challenge is to figure what to do , Second Challenge is how to accomplish it . Both challenges are like forging steel , takes time and experience to master . You figured it out super fast . I wish I was that fast .

[@Svarkaamursk]

Привет! Я из России! Подписался! Отличные видео, отличная мастерская на колёсах! И отличный мастер!

[@mikec6831]

You make it look so very easy and a pleasure to watch. You show great professionalism in all you jobs. I know this is an older video, but had to comment on your skills.

[@rapturebound197]

Hard to put into words all the variables you face in your work. Just the fact that nearly everything you work on is astoundingly heavy and yet the tolerances you have to stay within to do a repair or rebuild are unimaginably tight and complex. Thanx for making these videos.. I know it adds work to an already difficult job. Much respect to you man. 👍 I know when I'm watching a Pro /Craftsman / Artist. God bless bud. ✅

[@OFW]

Thank you!

[@DuncanAitken]

That plasma gouging at 03:46 is insane - it's like liquid lightning, on tap!

[@1waukesha]

Dam that pin slide in the Ears you welded on Sooooooo perfectly! Thats pure gold! Keep up the awesome vids!

[@justinevans4559]

Good stuff I would love to see the tooling you use and truck tour looks like you have good stuff

Super addicting to watch man great build satisfying

[@coinstipatedtexan83]

That plasma gouging is bad ass

[@jamest.5001]

I wish i knew about jobs like this when i was younger, i thought it was boring. But this is nothing like i thought, when i eas in middle school. I had a visit to the vocational work shop the highschool had, to see what class we may be interested in taking next year, well they decided 9th grade wasn't going to take classes there after school started tge next year, i was pissed! Atleast the highschool had a good shop class, we built a building for the football field, for snacks and whatever, it was roughly 12'x24' on a concrete pad, you don't get much done working on a building 45 minutes a day, a 1 hour class plus time walking to and from the field. Plus getting the tools, i made a wood knife in the wood shop, that looked so real i almost got in trouble, i rough cut it with the band saw. Refined it with the belt sander, it was about 9"-10" long including handle. I found some stain stained the handle 3-4 times. So it was really dark then stained the blade. And lightly sanded it even sharpened it. From 20'+ it looked real, like a old rusty knife. If i had some silver paint. I could probably bring that down to 8'-10' 😆 haha.. but i love fabricating stuff, i have actually done little of it. But i think about building stuff all the time. I hope to get moved and build a small home shop. And atleast build stuff for myself, i have a big stick welder, with about 30' of 2/0 leads, a little 120v wire welder, and a cheap china stick welder, 120/240v i was thinking about using the little stick welded as a power supply for the MiG/flux welder. Get a better gun and lead for it and get about 10'-15' if 2 gauge cable for the ground and a better ground clamp, i have a sheet of 3/16" plate im going to make a work bench/ welding table from. Use 2"angle. And put extra braces across the top. Abd drill a few 1/2" holes around the peremeter. A couple in the middle, weld larger nuts under the holes also going through the angle as a spacer. Cut out rough sgaped wrenches from 1/4" plate or 2" x.250" bar basically just a round 2" with a 1.5" bar 4"-6" from it, as a handle, with a roughly 22° bend at the round to handle transition , about 1" on another bend to make it flatabout 20° so its still at a slight angle, make about 6 of them, and about 4, 3"-4"hand knobs from1/4" plate, both with 1/2" holes and nuts welded on. Bend 1" x1/4" flat bar around 1/2" bolts , to make clamps , with lond grade 8 bolts , clamping to the table. Also mount a vise, bench grinder, and other possibilities, bolt to the table this way eventually id like to build one from 1/2" plate abd 4" thick wall tubing for legs, with bracing snd welding to make the table top sppear to be a 4" thick steel plate and grind the welds smootfe, use a orbital sander with 80-120 grit then powder coat it clear everywhere except the top so it can nake ground, or use a metal look powder, the clear should prevent rust. It would weigh 1000 lbs +/- a few pounds maybe fill the legs with concrete! 80 lbs each, just for the concrete, probably 150 lbs per leg,

[@stevewesley8187]

The correct tools make a huge difference in the end product ....

[@gfmikols]

Another great video. I laughed so hard about “the silver stuff”. Fifth wheel lube, same thing. Best friends, they follow you everywhere.

[@michaelpolimer2128]

just started watching your channel..............very interesting to watch....... am a very amateur fabricator......suggestion.........invest in a Langmuir table.........there is a learning curve but once you get over that hurddle it will change your life......... parts will come out identical every time............maybe wrong but identical.....

[@philoso377]

Page 4:00+ I’ve never seen this tool doing such a nice job for the intended purpose. Equally nice is the camera filter, never seen video producer care for filtering in welding shots. Excellent.

[@pcmfmacs9087]

Hi your one good tradesman you think about things before going at it like a bull at a gate HOO ROO PAUL from Australia 🇦🇺🍻👍

[@kenprevatt1267]

Lol funny how you hold the camera still after cleaning a new weld like , see class that’s how it’s done . 😂And like you you knew that pin was going to slid in like butter . Good stuff sir really enjoy your channel.

[@mariodelgado9729]

Great content, no BS, just to the point! Keep'em comin'....

[@dougsweet9045]

Sooo true on the anti-Sieze Compound! That stuff tracks and goes everywhere! It is simply amazing where you find it days latter! Lol!

[@JDWeld]

For keeping the distance between the ears I've always used pieces of 3/4" or 1" all thread with nuts on both sides of the ears and big washers. Does the same thing but the all thread is reusable and fast to set up

[@donsmith9081]

Great Idea, I’ve done the same.

[@andrewcarlson9929]

That little chamfer tool is sweet!

[@terryperrott8567]

Good job, you definitely a great fabricator.

Tu fait du bon boulo Maintenant je suis à la retraite et je me console avec les vidéo bon courage à toi

One of the most interesting channels on KZbin!

[@bigdave6447]

You can use your air arc torch to smooth out old welds too. Saves grinding!

[@wewercakcz5741]

[@philoso377]

Very pleased with the weld finish. Wonder if you use gas shielding along with flux core wire? Page 17:47

[@OFW]

I run dual shield wire with gas.

[@michaelgoergen6702]

I just received 100 bottles of your water new guy to your channel thanks

[@ypaulbrown]

wow, that little chamfer tool at 11:35 is fantastic, and one heck of a lot cheaper than a 2 inch countersink .....any idea what it is called? or should it be easy to find on Amazon? thanks....

[@rodfair5698]

Great work, great filming, but, please turn the music down !!

[@jackmartin4274]

Excellent welding and fab work. The videos are well done and enjoyable, Jack 40 below in January, it's a dry cold???😊

[@RedDFilm]

Great video - nice work! May I suggest turning down the music - or turning up your narration. I find I'm turning up the volume when you are speaking, then turning it down during the music - then I can't hear what you're saying - up-down-up-down, you get the idea. With respect :)

[@OFW]

I agree. There is no music in my newer videos

[@robw4476]

Great videos, one thing though, the music is very loud between your talking, makes it a constant fiddle with the volume to hear what you are saying.

[@aaronkcmo]

you made me feel how good that felt to slip that pin into that clevis

[@deanl2427]

Fantastic work!

[@wormkillerdan6486]

Great fabrication work! Another if I only had someone to grease me failure! Be good, have fun, be safe....

[@cliffbrown4217]

Man you sure do work hard.

[@mhenhawke5093]

The two gussets,should they of had a bevel on them for strength before welding ?

[@miltonross2276]

Love every video. Great presentations. Lose the music. Your videos don’t need it.

[@brian_2040]

You can pick you up some of them dimes to buy a stick of gum. A good mechanic always puts the copper tooth paste on the new bolts. Unless you only come once and another guy outbids you, then its red or green loctite.😂

[@alanclark639]

Admire the way you start - carry on and finish, early till late - I used to do some incredible hours too, they're beginning to catch up with me! Ever have to sit on some sharps to stay awake?

[@nopatience1417]

Excellent job great welds, what plate did you use and what wire did you weld with Thanks

[@philoso377]

Page 15:31 - I missed the part on how the ball sockets were aligned so it will match the balls during reassemble.

[@mcfwelding]

i dig the channel keep it up

[@ItiscalledaMANDATE]

Yup yup good stuff. I like how much penetration you're getting on these big machines. To see the pieces all get tied together and be better than new is great. Your customers should be ecstatic. I have to believe you're skipping over a big part of any of these projects for your videos. Time constraints I assume. I would be creating drawings with dimensions and taking photos prior to disassembly. Getting it all measured out has always been the biggest challenge for me. You've got pin alignment and A brackets and trunnion bracket locations. Box height with the new thickness of metal needs to be perfect. It would take me a long time to get prepared to cut it all apart. You are a pro but there must be a process you aren't showing us?

[@OFW]

There is a lot that doesn’t make it into the video.

[@Chevota22]

Just found your channel. I really like the the type of jobs you show. What wire were you running on this repair?

[@longcaster]

Welcome to you tube. You demonstrate your work very well. When I listen to you talk, I have to adjust my volume. Then you stop talking and music comes blasting, and I gotta turn the volume down. I enjoy the music you have chosen, and I want to listen to what you say. Can you fix it when you edit please?

[@OFW]

Yes. My new videos have no music

[@donsmith9081]

You fixed it alright LOL!

[@billcovert3473]

Nice, enjoyed your thought process.

[@jellybeanjay]

I like your videos, thank you very much😮

[@cajunfid]

Do you have a link to that router bit you used to round over the edges? I've never seen one like that

[@OFW]

I don’t but search Amazon for chamfering tool.

[@jamest.5001]

If it were me at, 6:15 . I'd weld 1"x4" flat bars across, side to side, then cut stripsin a 1/2" plate to plug weld to the 1" flat bars. Grind smooth then weld the bracket to the plate., The two 1" bars (or atleast 1/2-5/8" bars) being under the bracket so there will be no flex at that point!
