  • Well, this auger decided to make another visit to the shop. Why is it here and what happened to it this time? Well, follow along as we figure out the problem and how to fix it. Thanks for watching in advance and thank you for your support.

    Isaac I appreciate that you don't pile on all the operators and business owner for stuff breaking. As an owner operator who takes good care of my equipment and also performs maintenance and repairs I've come to appreciate that things just wear out, get fatigued, fail and occasionally break. When something breaks its not an automatic that it's a terrible operator, or just a greedy owner who doesn't care about the equipment his guys have to use.
    Many times all there is to do is fix it and move on. I'm sure most of your customers appreciate your practical approach and quality work. Thanks for sharing.

      _"There are a few machinery oriented presenters who sound as if they are advertising special prices at the local hardware store"_ - somehow that guy called Titan of CNC jumped right to my mind... ;-) I wonder why...
      Seriously, that Titan guy is the best (or rather "worst") example of this "drama personae". I've tried to watch his videos few times, but no way - after third "boom!" I'm just, erm... "satisfied" and call it quit.

      @@angrydragonslayer Hi Slayer. Don't be angry - this could give them dragons upper hand, y'know... ;-)
      Seriously though... I actually do think Titan is a good machinist - otherwise he wouldn't be able to build his business and be successful, but why all that flashbang? What for? Does it help in anyway? Like, can't he just EXPLAIN?
      Answer - no, he can't, as he is a textbook example of a person kinda "stuck in a mental/ emotional overdrive", so to speak. No room here for thorough explanation, and this is not to poke fun at him (or denigrate him in any way) - it's just a diagnosis on my part. Which you might disagree with, and I'm fine with it. But I personally know two guys with the same "traits", and I know their "personal life stories"; and I can recognise those pattern in Titan's behaviour as well.
      So, to sum it up: I never addressed Titan's skills and knowledge, I just can't stand his "way of narrating", if you will. His academy might be OK and quite useful for some of us - still, I'd rather watch videos by that, erm... boring fellow from Edge Precision.
      All the good stuff, minus the "boom shakalaka" - oops, sorry that was another fellow, Apache Indian - and nicer to watch ;-)

    LOL funny story about stick welding. I was repairing a friends skid steer bucket. I had bought a brand new bottle of shielding gas which meant for the weekend I would have two full bottles. Well they sold me a bottle with only 200 lbs in it. I had to get the job done on the weekend. Finished off the first bottle, switched to the second bottle Sat night at about 4 pm only to discover the bottle had only 200 lbs in it. When it was empty, I had to switch to the old stick. The guy I was doing the work for said to me, I did not know you could weld so well with a stick. I explained, i had started out with a stick many moons ago and am excellent with it, but the mig is just so much faster and less splatter for cleanup. Instead of finishing the job at 10 pm I finished it at 4 am. It really is a lot slower.

    Issac, it is so good to see another one of your on-the-job weldings and cutting videos. This was for me, one of the best videos that you have ever posted for your fans like me, to view. When seeing a close-up of the plasma cutter actually cutting the metal away, it was mesmerizing how fast the cutter actually cut through the metal. Also, this video was very informative on how to deal with broken heavy metal parts using the plasma cutter. There is no doubt that I will be using it as a reference on how to best use the cutter many times here in my home hobby shop. I will say that you surprised me when you started using the torch, but as I have always said, time moves on with new equipment being invented, but regardless of what changes, the torch will always be with us. In this video, we were treated to plasma cutting, torch cutting, MIG welding, and electrode welding all in one video, wow. Thank you so very much for your videos and informational comments and welding instructions.

    There is something that is just so satisfying about freehand plasma cutting. I hate *having* to do it, because it means that something has probably broken, but just the way that the 'flame' causes the steel to 'rinse away', like water is always makes me smile.
    At the ~28 minute point why not switch back to plasma? The oxy-fuel stalls on dirt in the cut, plasma would blow through that as easily as the metal. Even pure MgO evaporates under plasma's temperature but only glows white hot under a neutral (max temperature) flame.

    Excellent work, when you get repeat repairs it shows how much they value your skill. Stay safe.
