  • Hey guys. Here's part 2 of the bucket repair. Hope you dig it. it was quite the long video. Had to split it up into two parts. Thanks for all the comments on part one.
    Oh and BTW, I created an amazon page to help show you guys some of the tooling I use. I get a little percentage of sales when you purchase from this page. www.amazon.com/shop/icweld?re...
    Thanks for your support in advance.

      In my 30 yrs of plastering, some old guys would not teach you diddly squat. For the fear you could replace them. Which should never be a worry. Their problem solving experience, far outweighed my youth, and exuberance. Teachers of a skilled labor are few and far between. God bless them all 😅

    Isaac, stop beating yourself up over small problems! You can’t possibly anticipate all inconsistencies in metal composition, dirt penetration, etc! We don’t live in a perfect world, it’s what you make of it that puts you head and shoulders ahead of the masses.

    I hadn't seen the wood hand shield idea since I did some weld training years ago. While at the training I saw a fella from somewhere in eastern europe do the same thing but with a scrap of floor tile. Schmart! The bucket lives to move another million tons of earth and rock. Really liked the video. Cheers.

    I can relate to that wood heat shield near the end, ha! I still have numb spots on the back of my left hand. Back in my early 20's, worked as a mig welder on an assembly line. Seam welding panels onto dump bodies. I quit buying those foil heat shields. At a rate of more than 5 a day, I just wasn't getting paid enough to afford them. I kept a bunch of rags cut from scrap blue jeans, soaking in soap water. Quota mandates, did not always have time to stop and swap out for fresh wetted wraps.

  • @barrysimmons5489
    @barrysimmons5489 Před rokem +2

    Yeah! Nice chain on that piece. 🙂
    You sure had that wire machine "turned up on weld!"
    We had a Inspector Ol Nick, he'd come in behind you with or without his little hand held, and give you a critique. Almost without fail closing with his, "Go turn your machine up on weld." Story goes, one day Ol Nick got with a welder on some 8" heavy wall. He took his shield, fired up off the bottom with a 5/32 7018 kept hollering to the fitter, "up 10," they said he went up 80 some amps. "He was carrying a pond not a puddle." The slag curled up like a piece a crisp bacon n fell off on the floor. It was one of the slickest welds that welder'd ever seen, he said. That hand was an old timer ready to retire. We'd all thought Nick was blowing us a lot a smoke. But he could show you how too... Coke bottle glasses 'n all.
    Point being most of the Inspectors I've run across wouldn't tell you to do something if they couldn't show you how it's done. That was one of those jobs where the weld rod came in by the rail car and every body had a heated rod can and the rod tome out of the oven was timed. You'd have to return it if you had it too long and not used it. Now I don't remember if that was for Kellogg or Jones.
    Isaac, ya sure make those parts look good. Keep on...

    Man learns quick, 5 k chain on it now. A lot of work went into that rebuild. Usually, an old bucket like that would just show up on an auction site and be converted to a light use tele-handler fork bucket by an owner-operator and might fetch 2-3k. I would imagine a new bucket like that would go for at least 8-12k new plus shipping, that is if they had on in stock. Looks like you might have had 2-3 days in the rebuild process (and some parts like cutting edge and side cutter plates), so it was probably well worth it in terms of time and cost to get you to rebuild it. @27:10, I will have to remember that oversized smoldering rat trap glove shield trick. @28:22 Poor Mud Dapper Wasp.

He once watched my brother trying to lift a brake drum back onto a lorry a bit of a struggle. He said stop as he picked up a length of timber lying there. Roll the drum onto the timber. Lift the timber to the right height slide the drum into place jobs a good un. You don't pick your nose with your thumb😂❤ THANKS RUTH GB

    Top notch work Isaac, and Thumbs up too, perhaps a bit of an understatement, but what else can I say about a professional job on completion?

    With your straight cut obviously you had the weld to follow, but drilling pilot holes can be a real quick way of transferring reference points on tricky to measure stuff.
    Something I'm sure you would have figured if needed or used in the past.
    Really enjoyed the patented IC weld hand shield.

    Isaac. Your one cool Cat...I enjoy your work. I'm getting ready to pull a differential this coming week. Differential is noisy...but I have all the bearings to install.

    As always Isaac, enjoy the thought process, and artwork with a torch 🤠

    You could use the old bucket edge for the side up-build…. Just a thought…

    I am absolutely hooked on your content. Just started welding and fabricating in the past 3 years. Sure wish I would have started a lot earlier.. because I love it!
