  • Hey guys, Here is a condensed version of some field repair work I did on a traveling gantry crane. There are many questions that may arise because I chose not to arc gouge this piece instead of using the Torch but as I have found throughout the years, this is actually much more effective. If you'd like to see what Im talking about, plan on kicking back for a bit and see what you can gain. Again, its not a "How to do it", but a "How I did it" video. These are solely for entertainment purposes. Thanks for the support in advance and I appreciate your interest in my videos.

    Working overhead like that is exhausting. Makes my shoulders hurt just watching you. Maintenance like that is done every day by unsung heroes like you guys. It is an honor to have you share you expertise with us.

    Most of the itme I watch your videos to see how you are going to fix something. You show a video of a project and it's bent, buckled and distorted and I'm like, 'No way.' Then you get to cutting, shaping and welding. Next thing I know it's fixed. It's more like art than mechanical. Anyone that thinks welding is about sticking to peices of metal together needs to watch your channel. Jolly Good!!

    Another fantastic video. Appreciated seeing the machine moving at the end. It gave the perspective of what it's designed to do. Also, l like seeing the stick welding. I know the wire feed is faster, but seeing it getting repaired using a technology that's been around since the 1940's just emphasizes how legitimate the process is in outdoor and high wind conditions. With very much respect for such a skilled craftsman that's willing to share and move the trade forward.

    • @JonDingle
      @JonDingle Рік тому +7

      Stick welding has been around since it was first discovered in 1881 by a chap called De Meritens who was an inventor. The process was further developed over a few years and in 1889 Charles Coffin patented a process of metal arc welding.
      It was until about 1907 that manual metal arc welding was taking off and Lincoln Electric made a DC welder that had adjustable voltage settings.
      It wasn't until 1910 when a man called Oscar Kjellberg a Swedish inventor developed the first flux coated welding rods. ESAB is the name of the company founded by him in 1904.
      The rest is history as they say!

I have seen other welding channels that seem to have customers waiting for weeks sometimes because they got called to bid another job or whatever. I imagine that being like taking my car to a mechanic and after it is all torn apart the mechanic stops to go work on another car and not come back for days. I know I wouldn't be returning to that garage. lol
