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.

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!

[@mattym8]

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

[@PatriotWeldFab]

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.

[@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.

[@mikejohnson4617]

When I was a young man, I worked as a draftsman at a steel supplier drawing full scale patterns for torch cutting machine that could follow my drawing with an "electric eye" and cut out as many as 6-8 parts at a time. This was before CNC, laser cutters and water jets. Had to add an extra 1/8" all around for the kerf and for final machining. They could cut up to 10-12" thick steel plate if I remember correctly. I was always impressed with the fact that you could cut metal that thick with a torch. Some of my drawings were quite large as they were to be made into large paper making machinery.

[@ICWeld]

I remember those machines. Super impressive.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@BruceBoschek]

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

[@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

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 👍

[@jamesnelson1756]

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

[@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!

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

STEADY HANDS and torch control is amazing !

[@warrenjones744]

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.

[@brianguest561]

it's like watching a CNC machine cut I'm 56 and been welding and cutting since I was 8 i'm not even close to your skill level Love this channel

[@thebob3712]

maybe you should have found another line of work, I see nothing special here and if you havent picked up any skill in all that time, give it up.

[@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!

[@aishayana4298]

Absolutely awesome. I’m an old man now but even when I was younger I could never cut thick steel plate as good as you. You obviously have lots of experience with cutting thick steel plates.Kudos to you !

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.

[@jimurrata6785]

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.

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

[@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.👍

Cool hand Luke just awesome Issac you got the touch with the Torch. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍.

[@mikethebike5014]

Great job and nice music

[@tomc2748]

The man plays that cutting torch like a stratovarius.

[@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.

ASMR from 0:54 to 2:26, very nice cut man, takes a skilled hand to keep the torch that steady for that long, and just the right amount of oxy blowing it through.

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.
