Small hex kellybar adapter has some issues. check out the video to see how this got resolved. Customer brought in this in with a sheared pin and wedged in the wrong position.
I have watched my share of lackluster welding videos. This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time, No bragging ,or swearing, just quiet competence . Quite refreshing
Good afternoon. We all really appreciate you videoing all the different jobs you do. It makes it all interesting. Your patience is remarkable. Thank you. Ed from chicago. Retired plumber.
Naw, sorry, you forgot some steps. 1. Use a wrench. 2. Spray with WD-40. 2. Spray with PB Blaster and go get a tall drink to wait awhile. 2. Use a bigger pipe wrench. 3. Use a big cheater pipe. 4. Hit with hammer. 5. Hit with sledge hammer. 6. Get the torch out.
AvE is fine when he sticks to subjects that he has actual knowledge about as opposed to what he Gaargle's whilst he guzzles because when he over imbibes in the "Cups of Knowledge" he either sets his soap box atop a barn sized pile of bovine and equine manure climbs and proceeds to preach with the zeal and ferocity of a holly rolling snake handling preacher or tries to become the illegitimate love child of Mushroom farmer, who had a devil's three way with Lenny Bruce and Tim the Tool-Man.
@@gullreefclub sounds like someone also doesn't like AvE's opinions. Spend a decade in the field you'll learn more than any engineer who works for said industry
What is better than watching trial and error? The person willing to put themselves out there, knowing they will hear all kinds of slack for their methods but still doing it because they are confident enough to not care. And not just this video but all your videos. Bravo Sir!
Wasn't expecting the round bar, but works for the job! Always learn a little bit from each of your videos. I'm not a welder by trade, but out of high school I was taught how to stick weld in about 10 mins. by the mechanic I was apprenticing for at a local Ford dealer. He put me to work building angle iron storage racks for the parts department. 58 years later I still can repair and build almost anything I need! I should have went to school and learned the trade! The mechanic I was apprenticing for would take on any job so I learned a lot in a short time before Uncle Sam called and changed my life instantly.
When you welded that short arm onto that bit... I was like “he’s never gonna get it out that way”. Yeah... you proved me wrong in a hurry. You never cease to amaze me. You’re a talented individual and I hope more and more people get the opportunity to learn from you. Thanks for sharing all this amazing stuff with us. 🙏
the heat is definitely a cool trick, looking at the initial hitting though, so much energy is lost in the bounce of the vice, you want to support the outer hex right at the end you're trying to free, as well as locking it from rotating using the square at the other end, if you wanted to give it the best chance, flat on the floor, make up a cheater bar to lay flat on the floor out from the square drive then with something actually supporting under the square box you welded on, when you hit it it'll be a far more instantaneous impact and as much of the force as possible will be rotating rather than bouncing
Actually sadly he cut off the long weighted shaft. Could have put the housing into the large vise as he had done dropped a long shaft end down to the ground/floor with a block of wood between the floor and the shaft to stop the bouncing. Then using those welding skills used put a collar on the shaft the same as he had done. Myself I would have used a pipe-wrench for the rotation without welding on shaft first. The heat was the answer especially when you could see the bin hole and knew which way to rotated shaft. Expect the shaft length would have still be the same and the housing free of the shaft.
I gotta say it again...Issac..you make hard welding look easy. Welding is the most relaxing thing to me...I dunno why but the sound of a smooth arc is just so soothing....
It’s always amazing to me how much heat helps when applied in the right spot. You wouldn’t think metal would expand with how hard it is, but yet it does and it expands just enough to get something unstuck or to get a bolt out/nut off. I love your videos and your amazingly precise torch work! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you again and again for sharing your expertise and professionalism with us. Your quiet, secure determination to get the job done is very stimulating and an example for us all.
Ended up being an easy fix, not always the case. You used sound logic, began with the basics and it worked very nicely. They sent it to the right place. Experience and great knowledge of materials paid off for you and the customer. Very well done! Nick, North West Farmer
A lost art. You sir, are the epitome of true craftmanship in metalworks. What a joy to watch. On a lighter note, you must have hands of " steel" with all the metal shavings. Bless you.
Excellent repair work. nice to watch experienced skill craftsmen at work. this is the 2nd video I've watched this week where thick solid steel was welded back together. 1st guy cut his "wedged angle at abt 25 deg with Plasma cutter and mentioned he could have done it with a torch. and here we see that example being proved out. both cases solid welds thru-out. Amaturs like me would have tried to get away with less depth of weld and surely it would have failed. Nice to see "real" professionals doing it correctly Thanks for reminding us armatures how to do it right and better yet for showing us and sharing.
I have zero experience in anything you do. I have been around long enough to know that if someone makes their work look as easy as you make it look, it's not easy at all. Love watching what is clearly high level skill!👊
I always like to learn new things/tricks and you come threw time after time. I often tell the new guys on the jobs dont think you know it all, you may find out youve been wrong. Even after 30yrs, I find new things that work better. Thanks on the lesson ,I look forward to seeing whats next. Hood down lights on.
Man when I saw that thumbnail first thing that popped into my mind is that's gotta be one of those "why in the world did I accept this job?" moments but it turned out being really simple. The fact that it was undersized and not just a tight fit that gauled sideways helped but still. Took you probably 30-45 min and that's it. Props bud
I'm glad I clicked to watch your video. I took metal shop throughout Jr. and Sr. high school. I loved it tremendously. Nice video, nice music and I am still fascinated by horizontal steel band saws, they just flow through steel effortlessly...
Man you make Welding look so easy. Is like you see the problem and instantly work out the solution in your head and bam its fixed. Love your videos keep making them and posting them.
Here in the UK with housing regulations a lot of mini piing rigs are used. They have a 1 5/8 hex drive but the crews use 2" hex drive cutting heads, so I machine the 2" male drives down to 1 5/8" as a convertor. Surprised they never asked you to fill in the slot which was a hole back to a hole. Love the Miller set
The best channel around. I learn so much just from watching you do your thing. I’m 2 years in on my journey keep it going man ! Thank you for honest good content.
You make it look so easy. Even though you didn't show the setup, I got it. I would have thought that the extraction wouldn't have been so easy but glad that it was. Great job!!
I encountered a similar problem. I do jack and bore drain pipes under highways and roads for the states DOT, replacing failed ones. We can do from 16", up to 72". The augers have hex on either end, male on one, female on the other. The machine has a female end. A crew was over halfway through a bore, 200+feet, hit something hard. Instead of pulling the augers and seeing what it was, they decided to bore faster and push harder, snapped a 4inch hex inside the female end of the machine. I heated, beat on, tried everything. Limited access as it's inside the push drum and didn't have the Tim to disassemble. I ended up welding a 3 inch nut onto the broken piece, and made a wrench to fit, about 3 feet long. With the help of a deere 250 excavator, finally twisted it out.
So enjoyable watching these types of repairs. It gives us plenty to learn and consider when approaching similar work on our own. Love seeing the Ellis bandsaw and Wilton vice in action. Your shop is provisioned generously with awesome tools and materials. Once again, thanks for showing what professionalism is. I liked your analysis where you saw the beat marks, and used that to formulate an alternative approach. Brilliant attention to these important details, and thank you for sharing your keen insights.
Heating an OD (tube, pipe, nut, bushing, ect), increases the ID just enough to help break loose tricky extractions..It's a great go-to technique! Nice work!
Beautiful work as usual. Nice to have a repair where you can stand up on the job, work around on the repair inside out of the weather and not having to crawl around in the caliche gravel.
After watching the last two videos on that bucket modification, I started practicing tips from here at work. Amazing how a little preheat can result in such a clean torch cut.
What beutifull music. I can't stand music in yt vids, but this one is nice. Not in your face, not way too loud. Just relaxing, appropriate music. Very nice sir.
I just love the choice of music you have. That western guitar is so emotionally gratifying. It goes right along with what you're doing. 😊
I have watched my share of lackluster welding videos.
This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time,
No bragging ,or swearing, just quiet competence .
Quite refreshing
Quiet competence is a very nice way to put it :)
Good afternoon.
We all really appreciate you videoing all the different jobs you do. It makes it all interesting. Your patience is remarkable.
Thank you.

You don't get paid because it's easy. You get paid because you know how to make it easy.
10 dollars to hit with a hammer, 100 dollars to know how to hit it with a hammer, 1000 dollars to know where to hit with a hammer.
A good repairman, follows the three step process
1, hit it with a hammer
2, hit it harder
3,get the torch out
The top notch ones spray it with WD40 first, THEN hit it with a hammer
This is how i fix my electronics =D
The heat and beat is undefeated
Naw, sorry, you forgot some steps.
1. Use a wrench.
2. Spray with WD-40.
2. Spray with PB Blaster and go get a tall drink to wait awhile.
2. Use a bigger pipe wrench.
3. Use a big cheater pipe.
4. Hit with hammer.
5. Hit with sledge hammer.
6. Get the torch out.
No histrionics, no bad language; just experienced know-how, can-do. Very good viewing.

Thank you. And yes, I get a lot of suggestions and criticism but that's ok. Everyone's learning, even me.
The popping noise when heating it up is the sweet sound of success. Nice work
Yeah, that's either a really good sound, or a really bad one! A good one this time.
Your sense of humor and skill brings so much enjoyment.

Well done on the repair.
Sheesh....you're like Yoda with that cutting torch. Those bevels looked as good as a mill would do. Well done.
having worked in a shop where we did repairs on farm equipment for 20 years , it's a pleasure to watch you work. You are really good!

I thought he was doing to dip the hex piece in liquid nitrogen before heating the other end.
@@AlbertScoot you watch too much youtube "science" channels
@@AlbertScoot, CEE uses LN2 a lot.
I'm not a welder but I do like watching someone who is good at what they do.
Knowing where and when to apply the heat takes knowledge, skill and experience. Anybody could have hit it. Much respect to a clever guy

You're methods take entirely way too long and make little sense. A vice and heat before any welded on box is exactly what you should do.
Nice job! You’re looking like an actual hero there. Keep smiling.
I'm not a welder, but I like watching what appears to be a master at work.
I gotta say it again...Issac..you make hard welding look easy. Welding is the most relaxing thing to me...I dunno why but the sound of a smooth arc is just so soothing....
I love watching a pro at work!
Finally a welding channel showing the work of a true skilled professional. Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Loved the way the dog walks in, quickly looks and goes « There goes my human playing with fire yet again... Watch my paws bro ! «
It’s always amazing to me how much heat helps when applied in the right spot. You wouldn’t think metal would expand with how hard it is, but yet it does and it expands just enough to get something unstuck or to get a bolt out/nut off. I love your videos and your amazingly precise torch work! Keep up the good work!!
Surprised he didn't use heat and knock it out before cutting anything...
I would use pen torch for small arms repair. Ex is the M60 by-pod legs man I love those suckers
You are good Man !!! I could watch you all day !! you have alot of great ideas and most of all PATIENCE !! Good work
Thank you again and again for sharing your expertise and professionalism with us. Your quiet, secure determination to get the job done is very stimulating and an example for us all.

I come to Austin on work jobs and driving past all the construction am always on the lookout for Isaac’s welding rig. Excellent work sir.
I like how you are so calm and methodical about solving the problem.
Absolute golden material. Teaching a vital lesson that can be applied to so many problems and situations!!! Heat=expansion

Your my Hero! "Weldin" the "Great"..Always enjoy your work "Weldin the Great"
Always a pleasure to watch a man who is a master at his craft in a calm competent manner
That clamp with the impact on it must be a real time saver.
Really great tool
And in comes The Hero with a helmet! Welders make it happen but only one makes it happen with just a touch of his torch.
I love to watch you work with these seemingly impossible issues! You are The Man Issac!,

At least they quit when they did and didn’t make things worse trying to extract that piece.

every shop needs a dog mascot. nice cameo appearance. have to like the work done here, very cool, even if heat used !
Glad I clicked on this video. Saw you on the band saw and remembered I needed to order blades for mine.
I love watching a master figure out how to fix someone else's issues. Awesome!
experienced guy on the job once again is successful. Nice to see all the Miller Equipment in the shop.
You make it look so easy. Even though you didn't show the setup, I got it. I would have thought that the extraction wouldn't have been so easy but glad that it was. Great job!!

.... Love watching this"craftsman"... simple.. and informative.... nice guy..

I love all of your videos, especially when the torch gets fired up, it is as if you were born with it . Great video
I love the exclamation at 8:37 or so, “What’s the Problem?” Pretty slick Sir! Keep up the good work!
Was more like "That's the problem" though...
A young man would be incredibly lucky to have you to serve an apprenticeship under. Good luck finding one that wants to
I'm not a welder but everytime I watch one of your videos I learned a lot of things keep up the great work
I appreciate that
That band saw makes very nice clean and true cuts.
Man that heating up sure worked good, who would have thought to do that. Hero is right 😀👍
Nicely done Isaac, It looked complicated at first but you nailed it.
You're a surgeon with that torch. Always impressive, sir!
Good job Isaac. You are a great fabricator and a master in your craft. 👍
Thank you very much!
Your experience and ability to think out of the box is amazing. Enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Great video series. Gives us hope there are sensible people in the world! and they are fixing stuff.
It’s dam shame they don’t teach these skills in HIGH SCHOOL anymore 🔥
They do at my school
Called common sense and reasoning skills. Teens will never have them.
Just makes sense to try and back it up like you did...
Well done!!!
