I really appreciate how generous and patient you are sharing your experience. What a world it would be if every kid staring high school was taught how to be like you. Best of luck. Lou
All I can say is a Bloody Amazing Job, people that hire you have made the best choice they ever could. So much Pride you take in you work. I Love it. Thanks for showing us. Thumbs up on this one.
Great video! Your welding and knowledge about the welder, steel, how to weld, ect. reminds me of a past co-worker ( welder) He welded on everything, even had a Willeys Jeep. He passed away from breathing issues. He did not like wearing a respirator.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite welders to watch. I am a student, graduating from my welding program next month. I am really interested in repair work. I have to tell you, I learned so much watching this video, thank you!!! I hope you continue uploading your jobs. I am learning so much from you and you are entertaining to watch.
@@NBSWELDING oh definitely! I’m watching the “Excavator Bucket Repair Part 1” right now. You really do an excellent job of explaining your approach and why you do things the way you do. I hope I will someday find someone in my area (I’m in CA) that can mentor me that has the skills that you do but if I don’t, I have your channel to refer to. You do a damn good job!
Very glad to have found your channel. I am just getting ready to break out on my own and have taken high interest in heavy equipment. This was a very helpful video, thank you!
Dude, I love your stuff. Your funny and you explain stuff very well. I might not do something the way you do it . But I like how you have reasons well thought out with your whys . And thats some of the best bits in your videos. I do the same thing with my phone. I prop it up on whatever. You just have to mind where you put it. I cracked a lense before. i had it to close 🤣. I like watching the welding bits regardless of the arch shots. I seen in your last video even how you did the manipulation with the stick rod , with the long arc and coming back into it. so you dont blow the end out. I just put my light to a darker setting with my I phone when I go to record. And it catches arc shots that way. Always look forward to your videos dude!
Wow I learned some great time savers from this video. The inside spacing of that support by tilting it. The use of use of solid core wire in the deep crevasse topped by stick, both 👌. No telling how many hours I have spent beveling parts and doing it all with .045 dual Shield.
Just found your channel. We do some similar work. It’s always interesting to me to see how different people execute different jobs. You did an excellent job on the bucket. Keep up the great work!
I started trying to fix holes in my gloves like the ones you have in your index finger you have. I cut leather from old gloves and use contact cement to patch the holes. You can skive the edges of the patch to make them smooth or not. Contact cement is what saddle makers or boot shops use to glue leather. Get a small can with the little brush in it and get some more miles out of your gloves.
I did glove repair in the past and found it to be unhelpful overall...mostly because the repaired area would fail again soon or another area would fail not long after I just fixed a spot. Another thing though is that I have found the worn out gloves to be pretty useful even after they are not good for welding any longer. When I have a glove with a hole I usually reserve it and use it for greasy or muddy jobs to get some more wear out of them and then after that I'll start to use them when welding to cover and protect things that I am trying not to burn. Either way by the time I'm done with them they get completely used up and worn out that's for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting... good to hear from ya
regarding filming, i think the bright smoke ma¥ throw off focus. i use a hair blow drier set on no heat to blow smoke away as i weld stick and flux core because i have crappy vision and it allows me to see the puddle much better.
While you’re absolutely correct that “one of the biggest benefits of pre-heating is to control (slow) the cooling rate. The second benefit of preheating is to dry the parts before welding to prevent hydrogen induced cracking. You’re also correct that once welding begins (preheat or not), stay on it! If possible, never let it cool down until you’re finished.
For people with smaller home handy man sized machines like myself, I find some initial preheat is essential or you just dont get penetration when you are welding thicker plate, it sucks the heat out of your weld.
It’s Tha Judy chop and then you gotta come at it with the Kung foo kick, ninja 🥷 star ninja star, 3-4 fellers roll up on ya in Tha trailer park, anddddd a Judy chop nnnnnn there goes ya leg 😂
You wanna see some full certified shit welding, I got some cert shit welding on my other channel lemme log into my other account and comment again so you can maybe have your mind totally blown by some cert welding 😂
Ya gotta get the Judy chopping n Tha Kung fu kicking. Thennnn, you can hit em with that whomping action see that there there ain’t no Judy chopping on that there when I’m doin the whompin action 😂 Here’s my other channel for my work. But checkout some whompin action here with me learning to weld wit the Arccaptain machine you got, I just started welding like January and I’m prettty terrible 😂
Nice job on the bucket but I just have to say that the old ford is one nice looking old girl she is one sweet looking ride she is in great looking shape that is a good old truck I just have to say can’t hold back lol but back to the bucket that is one hell of a job that was a lot of work and it came out great better then when it was new a hell of a lot stronger great job
When I change wire on my machines, I blow compressed air through the liner before installing new wire, to clean out any rust or dirt that was carried into it on the wire. I also put a wire wipe on the wire before the rollers to keep contaminants from getting on them. Foam ear plugs make good wire wipes. Surface rust is caused by humidity.
Rule number one I give EVERY apprentice. Other than your welding machine, you're second most important investment is your vise! I have two on my truck. Both Wilton's. A W2 and a 6". I also have an Orange vise. A GREAT vise! Throw that Chinese vise away! You never get a second chance for a first impression!
@@NBSWELDING Buy an Australian made Dawn vice. They have cast and fab, straight or offset, multi function and specialty in various sizes. These are legendary vices here. The exchange rate should make them very affordable for you (locals not so much) but being a heavy item you'll have to wait 16 weeks for sea freight or pay about the price of the vice for air freight. AUD and the USD have similar buying power domestically but because of the exchange rate you pay considerably less than what we can buy our own vices for. An AUD$1000 vice is only USD$675. Of course not all their vices cost $1000 it was just a convenient example.
Im surpris that you dont have a smoke eater for working on excavator buckets specifically inside you never know where those buckets have dug in the amount of contaminated soil.
Hey big dawg, how’s the arc MiG 200 run 5/32nds rods? Not like a 6010 or anything but I think ima try out 7018 and maybe 6011 and see how it burns them down

Your comment is posted on an excavator bucket video but your asking about doors so I gotta assume that your comment is just in the wrong spot and the doors your asking about would be like the ones I built for the box truck to haul tires. Is that correct?
I find the oxy/acetylene track torch is more forgiving than the plasma cutter for cutting thick plate...plasma cutter tips are expensive, they don't last, and can't be made new again by repairing like oxy/acetylene can...I can't get a plasma tip to cut good for more than a few weeks but I have oxy/acetylene tips that are decades old and cut like brand new I like plasma for thin sheet, or when I gotta pierce through multiple layers of material, or on aluminum and stainless sheet. Anytime I cut steel thicker than 1/4" I always prefer oxy/acetylene

In India they use metal from old ship hulls to get curved plates to fix buckets

you by past the best part
What?...what part?
tacking in all the plates@@NBSWELDING
great job
Air arc would make that cut out way faster, less grinding

Perfect videos. I do welding on buckets sometimes too.
Anyway, the music played the last 5 min? Wich ?

Yes that's video im talking about. I need some doors made for my box truck

I like plasma for thin sheet, or when I gotta pierce through multiple layers of material, or on aluminum and stainless sheet.
Anytime I cut steel thicker than 1/4" I always prefer oxy/acetylene

good video and very nice job.
I was always told not to cut that hardox with oxyfuel only plasma

Yeah that's probably to much heat into that type of material it starts annealing and softens like that
