- Hey guys, this is a bit of a longer video but it should give you a better general Idea as to how I go about welding up these pipe casings. Not much to it but to do it. Thanks for the support and I hope you can pick up a few pointers along the way.

Uses a torch like a scalpel and is precise in lining up the pipes. He’s a real artisan of the old school.
Isaac your level of experience and precise use of a cutting torch profoundly amazed me again. Thank you so much.
Can't teach that. Have to do it.
Having the will to learn, and then practice... Leads to excellence.
‐‐,
i was just abut to scroll down to comment "this man has unmatched torch skills" hes like a damn surgeon
Never seen anyone as good with a torch. He’s a true craftsman and humble.
More like a machine! :)
You must ain't been in the craft long😂he had a good starting technique,but he isn't perfect,but he did a good job..there are ppl that are amazing with a torch..he is regular,that's not taking anything from him..but he said himself,he is kinda shaky..most of us are,they guys that are better,have a great technique and a very steady hand..
Relax breathing help a person maintain a steady hand because you actually take ur mind off the task,and it makes my hand steadier
@richardgibson4757 you've evidently not seen a lot of his videos. Yes, there are a lot of good people with a torch. This man is actually extraordinary. You believe what you want.
@dangroce82 can u read?I said I ain't taking nothing from him.
And good is a relative term.
Relative to what (you know)to be good.
And I can do it all,so i actually don't gaf.😊carry on sir.
@@richardgibson4757 I can read... can read read this "get fucked asshole"?
You are the torch Master. I have always used my regular Journeyman torches but after watching you use those real long torches I bought one and when I tried it man it made my freehand cutting so much straighter i call it the pool cue method. I got that from you buddy thank you.
They cut so much better with the same gas pressures!
Not only are you a master artisan at your craft, you are willing to teach and share so others can improve too.
"My welds are not the best, I'm outta practice" Then he literally lays down the best looking weld I've ever seen. LOL
I'm fascinated by craftsmanship, I can watch a guy with skills do just about anything. I would pay money to hang out with these 2, can you imagine the stuff you'll learn.
Perfect quote of today: "videos of how I did it, not 'how to do it"" lol. Thanks Isaac, there's something mesmerizing about your teaching skills. I've learned so much more in the last two years watching you work. Be well!
I appreciate that!
Your son has such an advantage to watch a Master at work. You use lots of things that you learned over the years to make things work out.
At 72 years of age I could do the job of the crane guy setting in the truck. Thanks for sharing.
71. Yep, I do some hobby, incidental welding but I would never put them on video. I don't like criticism. 🤣
I'm impressed with the way you cut a straight line around a round pipe
Love seeing a skilled father pass down his knowledge to the next generation and ensure if nothing else they will have a skill to rely on and hopefully pass on to their children.
Seen every weld you have made on ytube. Awesome to watch. You often say your not the best welder around but i have seen very few better. I always learn from your blogs. I'm 60 and still learn from a true master. Thanks for great content.
Seeing those pipes line up says it all: the cuts were dang perfect. Really appreciated seeing the stick patterns you used, too. If I can weld like that before I pass on, it would be a life-long goal realized. You are a true inspiration to anyone who ever tried to do this trade!
Cutting casing like that is so impressive, the outside might be cleaner after a grinder but the inside is still got concrete and who knows what inside and to be able to cut that so perfectly says something about your abilities.
Also thanks for showing tips, that tip about using the lower of the kerf to run the line is something I never thought of doing. I struggle as I use the oxy hole through the line making it look like a beaver chewed through rather than a controlled cut. I always learn something from your video's.
You are a good instructor I get to learn a lot from you over here in Kiwi land
Love the fact that you stick weld. I think all young welder should start there.
It's a real pleasure to have a welder that doesn't make himself look so good that you wonder how he lives up to the pedestal he puts himself on.
I've watched old guy in the ship yard using a tractor jack on 60 inch pipe to push up on the front or to squeeze them together. Worked like a charm. 💯😎👍
"I don't claim to be the best welder" Seen people with not even half of your skills brag about their welds, you are not only a master of your trade but also really humble.
There's a saying that goes "The problem with this world is that smart people are full of doubts while idiots are full of certainties"
I can still remember the day we were introduced to the gas axe. Once we got down to actually using it, our first lesson was piercing plate. The mining company had their own scrap yard and we'd fetch pieces from there to work on and for piercing plate with the gas axe we brought over some random thick (inch) plate.
Like heck would it pierce! We were doing everything by the book and our instructor grew more and more frustrated. With each fail we'd block holes in the nozzle, kill the flame or it just wouldn't go. The instructor finally snapped and tried himself - he failed too!
After much headscratching and searching, seems this plate was something unusual that'd been scrapped from the coal wash plant. I've no idea what it was (instructor mumbled stainless but it was rusted) and when we were given a different plate it worked fine.
Stick welding. I just love it when everything starts working exactly as it should and the welds fuse properly, look great and the crust peels like that. Few realise but the cheapest types of welding machine can also be the best for the job. Just gotta avoid those Chinese rods..
I've been welding my whole life, and for those of you who never used a torch I can tell you that cutting freehand like he is is difficult and he is a very talented man !!!!
Cutting a straight line. Dang your good. Oh and your welding skills are one of the best I have seen. Thank you sir. Keep on making great videos.
You keep saying "I'm not the best welder", "it's not the best but not the worst" but you're just being humble. Respect.
We were missing you. Glad to see you and your apprentice.
Thanks for explaining the different patterns and showing the close-ups that makes a lot more sense to me (new to welding and trying to learn) now. Nice camera work by your son also.
Always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work.
Your like a surgeon with a torch👌thanks for the very valuable tips and tricks😁 i use your tips and info on a daily basis. You've made me much better with the torch. Thank you very kindly sir😊
always educational thanks for showing this my boy just turned 18 and is welding very nice beads proud Dad Chris H.
Do you know a Don Higdon from Pueblo,CO!? Random question
Another great job Isaac. Nothing like sitting here and watching you do your thing and explain it all at the same time. Already looking forward to what your bringing next.
Excellent video as usual. I know your son is learning by watching you as i learned from watching my old man working on cars. You already hsve a welding scoolg going on here on YT but you should consider starting a school for teaching your complete craft cause you are not only a craftsman and a welder but you are a well rounded man. Something that is dying all around us as we trade real skills for canned technological fads.
Isaac, love watching your videos, especially the project videos like this one. You aren't in a controlled environment with the perfect conditions and the time to do unlimited takes with the camera and only show us the best parts - you show how it is out on the job, and how things don't go perfectly every time and how you work to solve any problems that come up. I'm not a welder, but a truck mechanic that occasionally has to do some welding and fabrication and I can honestly say I have learned more from your channel just watching you work and do your thing than I have any other. As humble as you are, you truly are a master at what you do. As always thanks for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them.
I love how you are passing down your trade to your kid...I used to work with my old man as a mechanic/welder when I was 19, by then I had already taken a course in welding in high school...then followed him for a while when I lived in USA...now in Sweden, have 4 welding licenses and work as a welder for the last 8 years.....I will never forget those times with my dad, sure your kid will never also
Hey I live in sweden I'm trying to get a welding license but do not know where and how to start
@@DonJahDontGiveIN go to your local unemployment office and ask for a case worker to help you find a trade school...I went to lernia
@@lunatikexperience thank you my brother!
Love your videos. I automatically thought you were reposting an old video in the beginning because I remembered those pipes. Good job always love watching you.
Much respect.. Your experience makes this look easy.. Cutting a pipe like that free hand is impossible or 99% of us.. You need a crew of apprentices. They'll be better than any school taught kids..
The straightness of that cut is next level.
Да ты просто огонь! Смотрю уже давно, как ты работаешь, берёт гордость за Американскую нацию. просто восхищён твоим мастерством. И сына правильно приучаешь к профессии. Продолжай делать то, что делаешь!
Привет. Я тоже давно смотрю, решил посмотреть нет ли русско язычных коментов и тут сразу не листая
Здравствуйте, пытаюсь выучить русский. Я смотрю, смогу ли я подобрать слова, прежде чем нажимать на перевод!😅

Jestem wiernym fanem syna na każdym odcinku :)
Essentials for a job like this....... FOOD and a good umbrella. That is some neat trick to get the pipe in line, well done.
I don't know what it is but working with your hands, creating and fixing is just so satisfying. The only problem is when companies and unions try to be greedy and don't treat their employees like humans.
I think it's so amazing that you are able to pass down your skill set to your son. I would give anything to have my Dad back, he taught me so much, but there was more to learn before he passed. He will always have a trade to fall back on, or at worst a really cool hobby. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
There will always be a need for a good welder. Metal will need to be joined to accomplish some end in an uncertain future. Thanks a lot for taking us along to look over your shoulder. We're all looking forward to the day that your son can hold his own and you both will be welding away at the same project - you on one side and he on another!
Im a pipefitter and i only hope i can even be half as good of a fabricator as you are isaac amazing work!
Learned a couple tricks with this single video... im a ironworker, welder myself keep up the good work
Super precise cut, "Nothing a grinder can't fix".... 🤔
First. I was wondering when the next one would come out. Thanks!!!
Second
You are the master with the cutting torch! Impressive how you finished that job just as the video ended!
Always enjoy watching the torch master.
I don't know anything about welding, but this one looked amazing! Thanks, Sir!
Always nice to watch a pro work and make it look easy. Thank you and keep up the good videos.
Having a camera man does make for a better video.
he just needs to keep the shadow off the cutting line heheh.
Some of the best straight line cutting I have ever seen.
Thank you for your time you are differently a master of your trade. I only hope I can remember everything I have learned from you. I'm a farmer and do as much as I can do myself. I find myself going back going back to your videos and re-watching. 👍
I may not execute this diameter to weldment, but I really liked your teaching at this process. The small notes as where best fitment can be achieved. Most of all as the weld machine unit at my shop door is a stick type.
Just about everything a review as best practice to manage the clean, well formed final pass. Thank you for having me along. I truly enjoyed every minute and the mention of lunch made me hungry. McGary
Some of the best stacking of nickles and dimes that I have ever seen. Issac, don't sell yourself short, your clients don't call on you because you are cheap labor, they call on you because you are a professional at what you do and they can depend on the job being done right the first time.
You son is lucky to have a father like you
Camera man shuddered when he said “nothing a grinder can’t fix”
Nice work though, I’m genuinely impressed.
Strangest thing occurred to me watching this video , I used to work in construction of commercial buildings , got out of it about 5 years ago , I used to hear those welders kicking in and out all day long , probably wished at the time they buggered off elsewhere , but I now realise I kind of miss that sound and it brought back a lot of good memories from when I was in that industry hearing yours kick in and out like that.
You are a wizard with the torch. thanks for taking the time to film it.
I have played around with a little cutting and welding, hobby stuff. Watching this never gets old.. Just to admire the craftsmanship is its own reward. I may never weld another thing in my life, but I really enjoy watching. I wish more young people would take an interest in the trades, and welding fabricating in particular. It is an honorable profession to keep the past in good repair, and help build the machines and infrastructure of tomorrow.
I enjoyed this video. It's always nice to watch a master at the trade using basic equipment. The tips are good. Looking forward to your next video.
If I could go back to 19 and stupid I would have been a fabricator. When I was 5 or 6, until my dad passed away in 83 when I was 12, he would take me along to his buddy's shop. Charlie Spicer was a Oilfield fabricator starting back before WWII. Charlie would send me out with a tape measure to count oxygen bottles and what ever else he had in the rack. At 5 I could read a tape measure and tell him how many green ones and how tall, how many black ones with yellow around the valve and on and on. He designed and built the oxygen supply from the outside storage tanks to inside the hospital basement for the "New Hospital" that was built in the early 70s. One of the shop hands taught me the basics of stick welding when I was 7.
I find it absolutely amazing to watch men like you doing your craft. That is not a job - that is craftsmanship and hard work. You have a new subscriber.
Just please don't be like Jimbo's Garage and make decorative gates every 3 weeks. 😆
Thank you for the sub. I hope I dont bore you with the broken excavator booms!! haha. I seem to be doing a ton of them lately.
Man I wish I could get Slag to fall off like that. I love your torch skills. Tell Jr to pay attention to every detail.
I was asked once to cut the cylindrical sections from two 250-gallon propane tanks, and weld them together (single pass MIG) to make a culvert for a farm road. Not as heavy and not as long as what you have here, but it was quite a challenge getting them together. I used the same techniques as you did to get the joint smooth all around. Adding the headwalls made from flat plate was a breeze by comparison. Nothing compares to the satisfaction of telling someone you can do something difficult, and then doing it. I'm sure you know that feeling.
Man, your welds look so incredibly nice!!!! Give yourself more credit!!!
Thanks so much for taking us along on these jobs. Learning so much.
As others have said, I always pick up a tip or trick watching your videos and I am grateful you share your years of working experience with we your viewers. I always had trouble cutting straight but after your tip abut putting one edge of the kerf on the line instead of the center and letting the shake as you joked about happen on the discard side makes perfect sense. Thanks again for sharing with us.
Thank you! Always learn by watching
I'm glad your son has your work ethic instead of the guy napping in the truck!
Re: "Not the best, not the worst". Whatever are you talking about (?!) What a fantastic result from such a challenging starting point. I have total admiration for your team, especially the way you selflessly share your skills. Thanks for another informative education.
Awesome job. Thanks for including your son. Best teacher in the industry
Bro's work with the torch was amazing
That Good ol come along and dog - solidified your skill and years in the field!Your the real deal!
Keep up the good work! Damn Good!
Bad Rig you got there too!
You sure are good with that cutting torch!
They are good welds come with lots of experience working daily I remember doing this type of work 40 years ago ! Good your son is taking interest in this line of work not many are much these days!
You’re like a human cnc machine. I’ve learned a lot of stuff about torch cutting that has really helped me at work from watching your videos and listening to the different tips and thoughts you have on it.
I remember having to cut n splice two pieces of 84" casing in the 90s . Even with wrap around i still had a half inch gap in a cpl spots ! Took 3 days to make 2 cuts and weld one joint . And then the crane operator folded the crane boom lifting the casing . Computer kept shutting the crane down . Operator kept over riding the computer . That didnt last long ! Folded the boom in half . 60,000 dollar mistake ! Good video ! The wider the wrap around the better ! Stuff aint cheap either !
I do enjoy 'stick welding',.. this video shows a lot of tips and tricks that are useful in more than this job!
Thanks again, Isaac & Son!
Thank you for the useful information about restarts I’ve always had trouble with it, I’m only a self taught welder that finds it very handy to be able to tack a couple of pieces of metal together , I would love to have your talent you are the maestro of your craft and your son will be just brilliant in a couple of years thank you from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for another fantastic video! Pretty sure that I learn something from every one that you post- Love seeing you burning 7018's with the fantastic closeups.
Thanks!
Bevel, Bevel, Weld, Weld, Done, Done 😂😂You are very modest and a excellent Teacher !! 1 point 21 Jig a Watts !! Mr Fusion can handle that you guys are GREAT 😂😂!! Excellent work !! 👍👍Can't wait till the next video !!
I kept hearing " Round and Round " by RATT in my head as you welded !! 👍
You are the Charlie Daniel of the cutting torch! Great work.
I strive to be half as good as you are with a torch much respect man👍🏽
Your skills are next level..... I learn so much from watching you. Thank you !
Issac you are a wizard with the torch. Fantastic job!
Man, you sure do great work. Always a pleasure watching you working the steel!
You’re a bad ass with that torch brother, never have seen that straight of a line or that technique……just learned another skill passed along from years of application.
Great sample, nice to see you two working together again. Thanks
Thank you again Sir. You are very humble. You know how easy someone could chase their tail trying to line up those pipes. Let alone cut them straight enough to trust the finished pipe will be straight. Just a little off at 40' could add up to inches at the other end. Have a great day and God bless you and your family.
Great job. You guys are awesome team. Waiting for the next videos
Thanks for the time and effort to share this with us. 👍
I have been following you for a long time on Instagram. Love the long form content! Good job on the work and most importantly passing our craft on to the next generation!
Amazing! Just love when you explain what needs to be done. And you masterfully complete the job. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Great show and tell, nice job!!!
WOW! Just WOW, ISAAC. That is a straight cut!!!! Fantastic fit up too! Funny, you talk about shaking…you Brother, do NOT Shake. My cut looks like my latest EKG next to yours! Your run with the 7018 was PROPER!👍. Very impressed with your root “whipping” of that rod, making it bite in the groove like a 6010! After watching you work, I usually take my gear off, pack up and sit in the truck😉. ALWAYS Humble, and Great teaching moments! So happy that your son is so close to you and right in there working!🙏⭐️🙏
Thank you for going to the effort of making this video guys. It really helps those of us starting out
I watched this video from start to finish. There is just something about this old gentleman, it may be his voice or something but I surely enjoy watching him. That young man is learning from the best. Noice!!! Thank you for the upload kind sir.
Very nice work Issac thanks for the video take care of yourself and family.
Always worth watching. Thanks Isaac.
I love this guy and his vids. Awesome worker, master welder and more.
I respect the way you treat your son. 👏
Looks a tidy job . Always good to see your jobs. Variation in methods.
Such talent at work. I told you once before in one if my comments I am a rig welder as well. Work on gas pipe work. I wish I would have took another avenue and do what you do. The work has changed so much. If you want to do the right think you are told you are slow or being picky. I have been around so who are really great and others no way. A lot of the young guys coming up want to learn but a lot of them also think because they have a 120,000 welding truck they know it all already. I am 60 years old. I hope I can go 5 more years my body sure can do it but at times not my mind. Keep up the great work you do and hope your son follows in your steps. He has the best teacher. Tell him when he is swinging that hammer swing it hard like you live 😆. God bless.
