Great content. I’m an 80 yr old subscriber sitting on my coach on Thanksgiving morning sipping coffee and enjoying your channel. My wife asked what I was watching. I tried to explain and ended up saying…… this guy’s an absolute artist. Thanks and waiting for the next upload.
Just found this channel. A gifted welder without a southern accent. I've worked with welders born and raised in Nebraska who had a pretty thick southern accent.
I started a mobile welding business this year in san diego and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the work you do...I've been a welder for 20 years and I never stop learning. I learn something new on every video you postponed look at heavy equipment repairs differently when I'm in the field now
What a great video demonstrating how the press brake can introduce a part into the frame that’s strongest where it needs to be. So totally awesome working at night to get the customer back in production. Heavy equipment means dedication.
Another great one! Love the botched backhoe bending fail! However, it does make my skin crawl just a little when you touch that hand amputator screen while the boy is busy loading it up in the amputation zone. Could make for a great _Halloween special_ though.
It never ceases to amaze me the things you can fix. Your fabrication skills are next level as well as your work ethic. After finding your videos, I spent about a month watching all of your content. I've learned a tremendous amount of little short cuts. You could make a video a day, and it still wouldn't be enough. Again, great job. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Looking forward to the next video.
That press put you in a whole new category as far as a fab shop. More tools in the toolbox are how you become a premier shop. You are definitely an artist.
Outstanding repair, your craftsmanship is superb and your work ethic is remarkable. How did I miss your having that really nice plasma table and set up?. Your shop and service business growth is just growing and growing, fun to watch, thanks for bringing us along. Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and your crew.
As someone who runs a plasma table all the time your consumables are truly the most important part. Make sure you have what you need and don’t cheap out on them. Will make a huge difference I promise
Yes, repair is tough worse in cold weather.I work lafarge in calgary south side plant broke main transfer case frame crushers yes due cold temp rebuilt and down time was near 24 hours.Thanks expose job again.😊
When welding on such thick plate would larger diameter wire speed things up. Nice video that shows that no matter how much planning goes into a job ,things crop up unexpectedly .
I was running 1/16” wire. I probably wouldn’t go bigger than that unless both pieces were 3/4” or thicker. But in the comparison between.045 and 1/16”. The 1/16” wire is faster and has a higher deposition rate.
Thanks for the video. I love how you share your thought process as you engineer a fix for whatever problem is thrown at you. Here's wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. You are a master of the original hot glue.
Great video! Greg! You’re very talented in your craft! Skilled and experienced! Your shop is fabulous with all of your equipment! 👌👍 and I see your channel is growing! Continue success! Thanks for sharing! Happy thanksgiving 🦃
There was a video of a plate shop building a navy destroyer.. Press brake operator bending 1.5 thick plate no setup, all by eye. perfect angles and fitment everytime
I would like to see that video. It feels like modern fab techniques take away the tight reinforcement feedback that supports that skill development and the resulting satisfaction of performance.
Impressive! Wondering why you didn't run a couple of gussets along the underside of those channels? That press is money in the bank for sure, excellent tool for your application. Thanks for your time, appreciate the effort you put into this content =)
Nice repair Didn't go overboard on the supports. I've seen a lot of repairs where someone has gotten sick of repairing cracks in an area and basically bullet proofed it which has just transferred the stress to another area .A lot of times the new stress area is worse than the original.
You have so much dedication. Greg you are the best of the best. Seems flux core is the thing now. When I was in high school we got a flux core setup. I did not mesh with it much. That was in 1978. I worked in a vessel shop as a burner. They used a lot of it. They were using 211 wire and 3M wire made by Lincoln. I am just a pipeline welder getting ready to retire soon. Like I say would love to be your apprentice. Start me off by sweeping the floor lol. Have you always had the plasma burning table? Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Nice fix on the frame - But I feel you'll be back on that crusher in the not too distant future fixing that other crossover support, great content for us :)
That shaker is definitely going to break them welds 😮 differently should have per heat with that dual shield wire post heat and per heat is very important to keep the weld from cooling down to fast that what that cracking sound was very nice fab work
As always, repairs done without compromise and with integrity. I will be curious as to whether you will be working on that crusher again soon as it really looks like a rather weakly designed machine. In any case, thanks Greg for letting us look over your shoulder.
Nice fix Love that break you will be able to bump break skins with that machine. That wire the 71 that is regular Flux core not 71M dual shield is it ...seemed a little smokey for dual shield...Like the way you did those gussets ...Have a Happy Thanksgiving
You know what’s going to happen now. When the customer tells his buddies about what you did and how you did it, they’ll start calling you, again and again. There’s only so much that you can do, enjoy it while you can. Thank you Sir
Wow! Outstanding equipment and skill by you and your shop. What a beast of a plazma that you use in the field to cut that plate. Can i ask what make and model it is again please. Thanks for making these videos Sir!
I was wondering why you didn't cut the plate in a diamond shape my dad always did Said that would let it flex and not crack just curious and I know there is a thousand ways to repair it And no one way is the right way and no one way is the wrong way as long as it comes out and it works fine love your videos be safe and have a great thanksgiving Sam
@OFW ok just wondering again as I have heard all my life there is more than one way to skinny cat lol hope you and your family had a great thanksgiving day Sam
i cant believe the whole frame cracked like that, not an easy repair considering the weight. Even our small crusher weighs close to 90,000 lbs and the large one is 120,000 lbs. the amount of vibrating those go through is crazy. im gonna triple check all our frames when i go into work tomorrow lol
Great content. I’m an 80 yr old subscriber sitting on my coach on Thanksgiving morning sipping coffee and enjoying your channel. My wife asked what I was watching. I tried to explain and ended up saying…… this guy’s an absolute artist. Thanks and waiting for the next upload.
I to am enjoying a cup coffee watching this video
Happy Thanks Giving Greg…cheers from Florida…Paulie❤
Drilling holes for piercing is a great way to use the plasma cutter…
Not everyone can understand this trade/craft. Even my wife that edits the videos doesn’t fully understand. Happy thanksgiving!
I hope you take your coach to the ER afterwards. Spill chekc failed agin.
That press is insane , it bends that 3/4 plate like nothing !
What an empire you've built. You work your ass off! Big brains and a lion's heart.
Just found this channel. A gifted welder without a southern accent. I've worked with welders born and raised in Nebraska who had a pretty thick southern accent.
I really think your channel deserves to have a lot more subscribers.
I due time I guess
@OFW Hopefully so. Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and crew.
*On Fire Welding* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

OFW gonna teach the crusher some lessons now. Good job mate.
That press, what a game changer for sure

The plasma table is new. This is the first video with it. I will probably do a video about it coming up.
I had the same question about the plasma table. I see the reply. Look forward to hearing about it soon.
Nicely done, you make it look easy
Love seeing all the tools in action. That press brake is awesome. Finally got to see the plasma table too. Nice!
gotta say, that press brake is a beast. impressed me w/ how easily it bent that thick steel.
Another challenging job well done, greetings from Poland
Greg - I can see why you like field work my Brother. Your mind at work is amazing. GREAT CONTENT for sure.
Good Idea cutting the plug weld holes. It adds so much strength to the gusset. That is a professional repair. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are Amazing , you make it look way to easy . 💪
Nice fix. I feel this machine will need more of y’all’s love in a few months!!
Enjoyed and again Happy Thanksgiving
Great repair guys! Made my Thanksgiving day. Love the bat on the taillight.
As someone who runs a plasma table all the time your consumables are truly the most important part. Make sure you have what you need and don’t cheap out on them. Will make a huge difference I promise
I learned that a long time ago. I only buy genuine name brand.
Nice job on the repair! Your field experience is evident as you approach each problem with a practical solution.!
Nice repair 👌🏼 that press 👀👀💪🏼💪🏼
Yes, repair is tough worse in cold weather.I work lafarge in calgary south side plant broke main transfer case frame crushers yes due cold temp rebuilt and down time was near 24 hours.Thanks expose job again.😊
Thanks for the Thanksgiving upload boss, happy turkey day to you and yours
Thanks!

Diddy bought his AnchorLube in bulk. He loved drilling from behind
Thanks for the video. I love how you share your thought process as you engineer a fix for whatever problem is thrown at you. Here's wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. You are a master of the original hot glue.
That was a job! Well done fellars!

That is old school experience right there.
Nice thought out job again great repair.
Great press brake Greg
Sure opens up a lot of opportunities for other work
Thats one helluva good job repairing!
Video quality and content excellent. Makes me miss my machine repair days. Happy Thanksgiving OFW!
Thanks for the thanksgiving morning video, enjoy your day off if you get one 👍🇺🇸
Good video and really good work .
Your nailing it
I always use Anchorlube for single point thread cutting. It does an amazing job.
That's a lot of work, nice job 👍
You do great work! Nice job gentleman.
Impressive! Wondering why you didn't run a couple of gussets along the underside of those channels? That press is money in the bank for sure, excellent tool for your application. Thanks for your time, appreciate the effort you put into this content =)
I probably could have put more reinforcement, I think it should be good for a while.
@@OFW Definitely a bomber repair and yeah, you start fixing things too well and you'll be out of business lol
Isn't it wonderful that our universe has such abundance of this wonderful material...iron. Bet the other universes are jealous!
Huge fan, i weld for a living to, but never almost never such huge thick plates i wish i did tho. Keep posting bangers :)
Your so lucky you have the luck you do with dual shield outside, I would love to be able to use it more often but wind always makes trouble
Nice job, that pressbrake is one mean machine.👌
Ya'll are the right folks for the job
Nice Job! I use 71 elite on everything.
Nice repair Didn't go overboard on the supports. I've seen a lot of repairs where someone has gotten sick of repairing cracks in an area and basically bullet proofed it which has just transferred the stress to another area .A lot of times the new stress area is worse than the original.
Thank a lot for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Yep. You got me started on anchorlube. Best cutting fluid/paste I’ve ever used. Good shit for sure. Great for stainless.
Love those custom gusset plates - mega bandaid to the rescue!
You guys sure work on some gnarly stuff! Thanks for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving!
Awesome job love all your videos !!
Switched to Anchor Lube recently and what a difference in the cut quality of my drills and portable band saws.
Always great videos 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Well, done guys ❤
Nice repair job, and happy Thanksgiving.
Takk!
Yep your good. Nice work
Another fine job beautiful welds👍

The plasma is a new to me table. A lot more to come with it.
Happy Thanksgiving, great work, thanks for sharing
You sure have some cool equipment for the work you have to do.
Nice fix on the frame - But I feel you'll be back on that crusher in the not too distant future fixing that other crossover support, great content for us :)
Ya, it’s already in the schedule
@@OFW Excellent :)
Drilling your Pearce location looked like a great place for a mag drill😁
That shaker is definitely going to break them welds 😮 differently should have per heat with that dual shield wire post heat and per heat is very important to keep the weld from cooling down to fast that what that cracking sound was very nice fab work
The welds I did are not going to break. It will probably fail somewhere else. Don’t need to pre heat with thin material
Happy thanksgiving Greg !
Thank you for your videos. Happy Thanksgiving!
Muito bom trabalho amigos,agora não quebra mais neste lugar muito bem reforçado!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and family and the crew!
Excellent work
thanks for the tip on the wire I'm going to try it
I could make a comment, but it would just be ditto ditto ditto, oops. I just made a comment. 😮 Love them tools❤
As always, repairs done without compromise and with integrity. I will be curious as to whether you will be working on that crusher again soon as it really looks like a rather weakly designed machine. In any case, thanks Greg for letting us look over your shoulder.
Yep, it’s already in the schedule.
Brutal! Nice repair!
Welder flabbergasted loves working on them
WoW 👌 what a amazing job, and OFW welding on Thanksgiving morning have a happy day 🦃
WTF Jacob? How hard is it to make a 3 degree bend in the dark with a backhoe? Good job boys👍
Great fix
4 am coffee on! Here we go! lov it! Cheers!;-)!
Is this the same crusher you rebuilt the hopper on? Hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Different one
As soon as you said ‘hopefully we’ll be finished by lunch’ I heard ‘god himself could not sink this ship!’
Lunch/ midnight same thing lol
Nice fix Love that break you will be able to bump break skins with that machine. That wire the 71 that is regular Flux core not 71M dual shield is it ...seemed a little smokey for dual shield...Like the way you did those gussets ...Have a Happy Thanksgiving
Phenominal job
CAD … cardboard aided design. My favorite saying from your channel.
The thumbnail looked like machinery in space, with the USS Enterprise 1701E coming in to help :)
You know what’s going to happen now. When the customer tells his buddies about what you did and how you did it, they’ll start calling you, again and again. There’s only so much that you can do, enjoy it while you can.
Thank you Sir
Maybe that’s why my phone never stops ringing. Hahaha
Top job that young man!
Wow! Outstanding equipment and skill by you and your shop.
What a beast of a plazma that you use in the field to cut that plate. Can i ask what make and model it is again please. Thanks for making these videos Sir!
Hypertherm powermax 105
@OFW ok that's why it cuts so well. It cut that 3/4 like butter.
I can't believe how thick that steel plate is for easily that machine bends it, wow.
610 👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing 🤗
I was wondering why you didn't cut the plate in a diamond shape my dad always did Said that would let it flex and not crack just curious and I know there is a thousand ways to repair it And no one way is the right way and no one way is the wrong way as long as it comes out and it works fine love your videos be safe and have a great thanksgiving Sam
Like you said, there is a thousand ways to do this. I was trying to reinforce the top part of the bent area as much as possible.
@OFW ok just wondering again as I have heard all my life there is more than one way to skinny cat lol hope you and your family had a great thanksgiving day Sam
i cant believe the whole frame cracked like that, not an easy repair considering the weight. Even our small crusher weighs close to 90,000 lbs and the large one is 120,000 lbs. the amount of vibrating those go through is crazy. im gonna triple check all our frames when i go into work tomorrow lol
Nice repair you guys laying the coals to her. Sweet plasma table what amp plasma do you have hooked to it?
In the video was a 65. It now has a 85 which is the maximum due to power restrictions in the shop.
@that is a nice set up I have a small table with 45 amp plasma that will cut 3/4 at a crawl lol I know you can cut some real heavy plate with yours
cool stuff ,great fix
I’ve got Anchor Lube coming in tomorrow……I’m curious too see how well this performs on a trailer hitch extension that I need to drill.
It will probably do pretty well.
