Torch Work. (Old Footage)

I found some old footage from before I started filming things for YT. This was shot with my Phone camera at the time. Sorry for the bad quality but I think you still get the idea of what I was doing. For those of you that like less talking, this is a video for you. And those that like less music, well,... sorry about that. I hope you enjoy the video none the less.
This project involved separating these two parts that had been wedged on there really tight. Since We didn't have a vise to attach this to the table, It was quite the struggle trying to keep it in place. Once the Gas Axe was let loose on these parts, it was only a matter of time before they came apart. As you see in the video, I cut off as much as I could to access the inner threaded parts. This allowed me to torch into the material to make some relief cuts so the tension was loosened enough to remove. As I've mentioned before, I'm sure there are 100 ways to do this but I chose this one. Its not a "how to remove", Its a "how I removed it". Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy it.

$50 bucks for the hammer, and $2000.00 for knowing where to hit it! 😂 great job!

[@jimmyhoward9884]

Thank you so much man! I work for a rail car company 10 hours a day doing what you do here and I spend my free time watching your videos. My wife can’t understand why I watch work after working. If she only knew how many times you have saved me time at work. Keep them coming brother. God bless you and your family!

[@ICWeld]

Glad to help

[@Frenchy101]

" it was on there.." Yeah, I guess it was!! You're the man Issac , keep it up.

[@navigatorx1017]

LOL......... True. I fully expected to hear Issac say "The struggle is real" at some point in the vid.

[@ZenWithKen]

Not only a great craftsman, but the parts smell like mesquite when he's done! Thanks for sharing!

[@johnearhart8811]

Unbelievable. Just love your videos. Can't wait for them. God Bless.

[@BCVS777]

Well done! You saved those folks a pile of money in replacing that whole bearing whatever thing.😀

[@derrickguthrie4704]

Love the channel, I guess a lot of it is because you seem like a very logical and legitimate person. Keep up the great work! And post more of course.

[@ICWeld]

I appreciate that!

I could watch and learn from you all day and still have a lot to learn. You are definitely a master with the torch.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

You, sir, are a man of incredible skills! I could watch your torch work all day!

[@Laura-wc5xt]

wow, some oldie but goodie stuff....thanks for sharing and as always, we love you and your talent, cheers from Florida, Paul

[@patriot1182]

Looks like a unit from a top drive rotary drill rig! The bull gear and bearing and sub! Nice job!

[@peternicholsonu6090]

Isaac Thankyou so much. Watching you work with your work area on fire figured if there was a fiery hell you would walk through it not noticing. There is no fiery hell as no Father would allow his children to be there any more than we would put a bad pet through that. A great man Lazarus came back from the dead and clearly had been ‘asleep’ and had nothing to tell everyone about. Anyway seeing you work with fire amidst fire is hilarious and amazing to see what you bring out of it. Please keep your work going it means so much to us in adverse times.

[@georgejamesh]

You are a true professional. I'm a tech Ed instructor and have learned much from your videos. You can never take away from experience.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

I'm loving both the video and the music!! Thank You!! You do some mighty fine work sir!

[@charleskish8606]

Another stellar job Isaac. I love to watch you problem solve for yourself and your customers. You are quite of an important tool for field companies. Good job as usual. Since it was for a blasting company no one would have noticed if those batteries would have cooked off on the bottom bench shelf.

[@MrBoiler09]

I was thinking same thing about batteries LOL!!

[@yourlocalalexis4578]

love your problem solving ideas, which helps me as i weld as a hobby ... thank you!

i would have probably told the owner of the hub to just order a new one, complete...too much hassles for me, lol loved how you did the removal! i will keep it in my memory bank...

Two thumbs up. That's a wrench!

[@Firebird400]

It’s not really like that man . If you watch any welders you’re going to notice nobody does anything the same. Everyone has their own way they may be similar but not the same for the most part. You can watch someone every day but you actually need to do it and figure it out for yourself.

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

@@Firebird400 But it obviously helps to have someone mentor you, most people aren't gonna just go out and tackle cutting something with a torch without someone showing them how to use it. Nice screen name by the way!

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Very skilful job thanks for sharing 🇦🇺👍

[@michaelconway81]

Hard earned. Well done!

[@johnw4590]

Thanks for the video! When I do this type of removal work I prefer to air arc gouge. It's less heat better visibility and damage control over the traditional acetylene torch. Anyhow I like the Victor torch also! My favorite brand!

[@andrewmayes3524]

@@ICWeld I watch both of you. All the best!

[@tedbownas2748]

Man, that thing was a fight. I prolly would've wrapped a 2- or 3-inch ratchet strap all the way around where your sling was, then strapped it down tight to the table to try to get a good hit on that slug wrench. Great job as usual.

[@jimzivny1554]

Nice job, it's very difficult to do that much cutting without damaging the important parts.

[@LoBeau53]

The magic of restricted expansion and free contraction. That and a big hammer.

[@lawfulldick4158]

HUH?

[@LoBeau53]

@@lawfulldick4158 when you apply heat with the torch, to the shaft, it wants to expand but is restricted by the outer component so it can only grow in length. When it cools however it contracts equally in all directions so actually shrinks breaking the bond. Rule of thumb is about .001" per inch of diameter. Taking material out of the center gives it more room to contract in the direction he wants.

Car Battery's under the bench!!!

I was bit nervous watching those batteries under the table... Luckily this was not educational video in that sense... I have exploded two batteries into pieces... First time I learned not to make sparks and second time I learned that open flame is just as bad... Those batteries were fully charged - I guess these weren't. 😁

[@bigunone]

You got the job done and I assume the client was happy with the results and you got paid. When it comes down to it as long as you got paid, and you didn't get hurt. It's a job well done. I was glad to see you remember the first principle Get a bigger hammer Idea, maybe a chain and boomer would have held piece to the table.
