Work like that is something I'd like to learn/do on the side.
Go for it!
Great job. Nice to showcase that when you’re away from the shop, doesn’t matter how prepared you think you are, you run into situations that you have to simply “make it work.” Adapt and overcome!
Thanks Chris. 🤘🏼☠🤘🏼
Perfectly said. That is real life
Nice Job Bob, and Cricket! I don’t get much build up work!
Thanks Ant!!!
Nice job guys. It’s not easy out in the field having to meet demand all day, u did good work , u should be happy with ur video presentation
Thank you. Thanks for the positive feedback 🤘🏼☠
Thanks for the video guys
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Ok I'll be waiting for your next video. In the meantime 👍
Nicely done. As. Someone who doesn't work on heavy equipment regularly I appreciate the reminder to disconnect power before welding
Cool to see the Lincoln eagle, that's the kinda work I'd like to do, I'm a horseshoer by trade at age 50 got two courses at Victor Valley College down towards my aws entry multiprocess cert. Going to start the smaw advance here in a few weeks. Thanks for the good work and keep those coming.
Thanks! And keep it up! Make something great!
Yea I guess most people don’t know what a farrier is. It definitely gives you a leg up. From what I’ve seen it is not easy and gives you experience with a lot of the same type of skill.
Thanks Bob. @ J Hueth to a extent, some metallurgy understanding helps, from forging mild steel and aluminum. Many small projects welding shoe racks and swingouts for forges and grinders e.c.t., for rig set-up. Used to weld boreum (OAW) for traction on horseshoes for parade or police working on asphalt. It's kinda like hardfacing really. Cool stuff!
@@aaronwilson3952 one way to get your foot in the door to welding, opps, I mean hoof......There is so much to learn in welding, and it is so much fun in my opinion. Learn and do everyday if you can.......Like being a farrier, it is more art than science, hand and eye coordination , and when you do TIG, it is hand, eye, and foot.....haha....good luck with the AWS certification, they are worth a lot when you get a job, any structural, or at least most , an outside inspector will be brought in and they will want to see your Certs, and also the welds......practice a lot of positions and do them in uncomfortable places,,,,,,it will really help out in the field......you need to be a contortionist sometimes......as they say, there are many ways to skin a cat, and you need to try different ways of holding the electrode holder and bending the rod to get in there.....cheers, Paul down in Florida
🔥🔥🔥 Florida bois do it best!
WHOOP! WHOOP!🤘🏼☠🤘🏼
fooking A right.....
I don't know how these guys stay so clean, when I weld and grind I look like a coal miner when I am done after a few hours.
Franken-Bob running that slick stick to give the monster life!! Nice job!! Work hard weld hard!
Thanks Cliff! I appreciate that #creaturefeature lingo! 🤘🏼☠🤘🏼
yeah Buddy, you and Cricket got it together, some real great info here......tahnks for sharing with use newbies.......cheers from Largo Florida, Paul
Thanks Paulie!
What kind of welders are you running
Lincoln!
Lincoln electric ranger and eagle both 225 amp welder/generators
Love that on the field job kind vids!
Thanks for the feedback! More to come!
Thanks Keenan! We appreciate the feedback!
Awesome Vid! Looks like you’ve done this a few times lol
At least once before 😏
Awesome video! Great job!
Thanks Dale!
Camera Guy made it into the video at 1:24....right on......
Nice demonstration 👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! Any ideas for future videos? We are listening.
I've learned so much from you guys, great video thanks!
Great job fellas .
Thank you!
no preheat on the jaws?
Minimal preheat was done but we typically will get them hot prior to welding.
@@bobhigginbotham9035 sweet , ive done alot of NPK crushers , its a long process
@@ggcutter4098 Rad! Crusher work is life for us. Stay safe out there, thanks for the feedback 🤘🏼☠
@@bobhigginbotham9035 you too , thanks for show
Loved this video. 💪💪
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback. Stay tuned we will be making more videos soon. Reach out on our weld.com forum for any requests or questions 👍🏼
I have a mobile welding gig going on over in Melbourne. I would love to do some jobs with Franken Fab
Talk about build up layer. Like use a 7018 or a 7024. And what kind of Rockwell would you need.
the AR 400 is BHN 400 which is Rockwell 43C.....
Tasty beads Brah, down here in SW Florida we run Stoody 31 or 35.
Great info thx guys👍👍
How do you guys cope welding in the extreme heat
Im your opinion will 1/8 6011 be a decent choice for root on 1" AR plate to fill in with 1/8" 7018? No need to be hard faced..thanks
if you do not have an open root, there is no reason to use a cellulose type rod [6010,7010,6011] they are used for their gas coverage to protect the back of the root, and to insure complete penetration of the root to the back side. rutile and lime based rods [xx12,xx13,xx14,xx15,xx16,xx18,xx24,xx28] do not produce as much gas and protect molten puddle with their slag. they also do not have the penetration of a cellulose rod which can be an advantage to keep the intermingling of the alloys down. since it has a tinsel strength of 150,000 ksi, it is advantageous to use a rod that can match it's strength. For welding AR 400 plate, low hydrogen electrodes should be used: such as E-70XX, E-80XX , E-90XX , E-10XX , E-11XX. As conditions warrant, pre-heating is recommended on all thicknesses.it is also known as Ford Steel, the 400 in the name is the Brinell. hardness which is about 400 . It is considered a high carbon steel and approbate preheat is needed for the thickness being welded.
Crackallacking sweet welding work comrades, always pleased to ride along and gain tips.👉👍👍
I see you also like the Hercules grinders. Ive been impressed with mine, only thing ive found is they don't like to have the lock button pressed while spinning down to unscrew the grinder nut like i do with a metabo 🤣 of course thats abuse and a bad habit
Can you try spray welding with 90-10 argon co2 with 28 to 30 Volts & 045 wire?
Was that a Hercules grinder???
how much did you charge for this job??::
How many amps did use on that hardfacing wire?
Wrong sized cutting tip in the field? We've ALL been there! No criticism from me. Use Smith now, but loved my old Oxweld stuff back when Linde still made it.
Yoo man no hate but u could just layed the crusher on the flat so u diddent have to weld overhead
give me the wire's name
Making a negative comment might save you from failure!!! If you're interested in making a mutual admiration society so be it !! Why do you feel you should start a weld with 60xx rod and just use 7018 from start to finish??
Once again ,why weaken a weld on equipment by introducing 60 thou.pound test rod into the welding? What do you hope gain??7018 all the way!! No negative comments, how are you going to learn? No mutual admiration society here!!
I was wondering the same thing .why not use 80 or 90
What are you guys doing to be inclusive for trans
What??
@@mikaelbiron6287 repairing transmission.
Idk why just don't like Lincoln stuff
I enjoyed this video. I've been disabled from a construction accident for 18 years. In between working jobs in plants I had my own welding business. My second job was rebuilding an excavator bucket. It was neat to see this. God bless you all
Thank you for your positive comments and feedback.
Tell me about them safe glasses? Like them.
Bomber Eyewear, ansi approved 👍🏼
I love doing that type of work.
Great work guys, keep it up!
Thanks Juan! We appreciate the feedback 👍🏼
I love this kind of content. Practical application fieldwork!
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
Would look to see yall setup a arc gouger in how much psi you need in what the lowest psi i can go on the air . I have a ranger9 250
you probably need 90 psi, as far as com, I am thinking at least 10 to 15, but they may be conservative .
You may have an issue with the Ranger 9 not having enough voltage to run CAC, it takes probably 30 volts
to run, I know my BobCat Miller is not rated for CAC, it has the duty cycle, but not the volts to carry the arc.
the Lincoln manual for that machine states 25v at 250 amps 100% duty cycle, but they do not mention being
able to run CAC [carbon Arc]
hope this helps, Paul
1:56 He can't buy no beer.
Thank you it's very good that I've learned
Probably just annealed the shit out of that AR plate with all that heat input from torch cutting
Good vid but if I saw you digging with my torch like that I'd throw a hammer your way
Why do they use 6010? It so brittle.
That poor cameraman…
Nice video
