I feel that if your a welder fabricator and you follow everyone's channel your MISSING out because you can LEARN something from everyone. I've learned so much from all these channels. Little tricks to make your job easier!! Thank you for making videos
The crane boom seemed to work but it was probably hard on it using it in that fashion. Maybe use one of the vertical outriggers as the force is straight down already, and a lot less parts to risk.
Thats rad dude having that crane. I think the only way I could do this would be a couple pie cuts to bend and fit it . Then Weld them up with 7018 or duel shield. Next weld over that weld with some hard facing . Thats all I could do 😅. Also you did a great job dudes!!!!
Next time you come up against a problem like this, try the heat and quenching method. Apply the water to the inside radius. It might take a couple of goes but it’s very effective with heavier sections. It’s super sleazy but you can also “cripple” it by 3/4 cutting across with a cutting disc, apply the required bend and weld up where you crippled it. Field work, you do whatever is required to get your job done.
Very interesting! What of the idea of using a bottle jack and a chain? Build a fixture for jack piston that the chain will fit in, weld a piece of stock on bottom of grapple to keep chain from sliding. As heat is applied the plate should conform.
Ya know, sittin in my comfy chair behind my computer thinkin, damn this is takin a long time........! LOL just kidding. That looked like a real tough one. My thoughts for next time, if you want them, if not disregard. 1. I would personally make a cardboard print to give to the bending shop. That one tine was off the charts. 2. A dog and wedge. I thought you were gonna snap that Bessey clamp when you grabbed it with both hands. LOL Also I have a bunch of strong backs (bridge clamps) that maybe would have helped with that tip end that you were beating. You can really crank them down. 3. I run oxy/propane. I can usually get things cherry pretty fast and much less expensive than acetylene. No withdrawal limits and more BTU's for heating. Just my thoughts, but hind sight is always 20/20. Nice job. I like that you don't edit the tough stuff to make it look easy.
Yeah, I'm with you on the dogs, I probably should have cut some dogs out of plate and used some wedges to drive them down. I probably got another set of these coming soon may do that next time. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback much appreciated.

Thanks for the input that sounds like a couple good ways to get it done thanks for watching 👍
Adding some fish plate skin on the -Cat- John Deere. Yet another, of the ways to do it.
Thanks for watching 👍
Great work. I definitely appreciate your persistence on getting the job done. Can I ask what wire you are running?
On this job and 95% of the time I run .035 70-6s solid wire with 75/25 gas. Thanks for watching
@@LivingstonWeldFab thank you
I would of used the skidder grapple itself and a few trees tucked under the skidder for leverage and weight.

Yea bottle jack would have been a good idea! Thanks for watching
Are you proud of that job?
Im sure he is proud of it for what he had at his disposal. Turned out fine and functional. This is not a ship or rocket. It'll be just fine
Nice job I've been waiting for you to actually do some real steel and welding.!!! LOL
Bevel put a 6010 5p+ root , 6010 red rod hotpass, 7018 fill, 7018 cap
👍thanks for watching
You should have just filled that with weld bro SERIOUSLY!!!
Your burning wire fill it, rod maybe I'll give it to you, stack and rack
