- Hey guys, If you have seen some of my previous videos from the past you will notice I do a lot of work on Drill rigs and excavator booms. While they may all seem like the same type of work, they all present different challenges. Hang around and see what we're up to, and see my helper get his first taste of Arc Gouging. Thank you for the support in advance and I appreciate your comments. I try and read each and every one of them. So kick back on your lunchbreak or on the sofa and kill a little time with me. Thanks again.

I was a young teenager when my dad recruited me to be his helper working on engine swaps back in the 60s after work in Chicago winters in our hime garage with no heat. We would work sometimes until midnight on big caddys and Oldsmobiles. It's not a fun job, but now i thank him, and i dearly miss him now that he's gone.. I would gladly do it all over again.
I wish I had a son to teach. Now I'm retired. I bought a welder and am teaching my friend, who always wanted to learn how to weld. We both enjoy it. Our biggest problem is finding old steel to practice with.
I am retired now and I love watching a true master at work and I am sure your son is learning from the best God Bless
People don't realize the skill and finesse this type of welding requires, and I'm not an expert but know enough to know it's harder than it looks
I have said it before, but I love seeing your son learning a trade. Tradesmen are going to be the doctors and lawyers pay wise in another decade or two. People that work with their hands is a dying profession all around, but still critical to society. Young people would be wise to learn a trade and your son has a head start with a great teacher.
Couldn’t agree more. Everyone wants to be the guy in charge because that’s somehow higher up the rung. Sadly they fail to appreciate that like anything this requires a skill set. All those that take the time to have a skill set no matter what they do, and are good at what they do will always be I demand and be paid well for it. Hats off to all those like the ic weld guys who work at their skills and are great.
Also love the videos. I watch and learn closely.
Learning a trade, good..go to company..work for man.
Learning business craft, great..run your own life. I know its harder. The kid must learn to read if a customer will pay or is a dirtbag, or a nuisance. The kid will learn there is no back up, nobody else will help you.
@@pootthatbak2578 You don't have to be self employed to use a "trade" to make a great living. There are tens of thousands of welders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters etc etc proving that every day. But if you want to work for yourself you certainly have that as an option.
@@BucketList22 right..im not getting thru correctly..i should have just said the kid will also learn how to deal with customers and run a sucessful business..a bonus, in my opinion
Especially with the new infrastructure bill kicking in construction companies are going to be protidine well paying jobs to younger tradesmen who are replacing those who are retiring or who died during the pandemic.
I love you Isaac...you're good and i like your chuckles.
I'm 38, been a welder for 17 years and I would've given anything to work alongside my Dad when I was young. What a lucky kid
32:30 There's a reason the saying "Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't." has been around since welding was invented. 😀
Hi Jeff the Driller.
You have the most polite way of naming all kinds of stupidity and FUBARs by simply saying: "It is what it is".
In every episode you produce like 3-5 merch slogans.
As for the job itself - done more than right. And your work ethic is exemplary.
Lmao merch slogans lol that shit was funny asf 😂
you,re son has excellent teacher put him in the fire only way to learn
young man has skills,wont be long until he needs a truck of his own ,
Always wonderful to see your student (son) at work and being shown how to do things. What an immense amount of info you have to pass onto him in the next few years. Thank you for including him, thank you for including us! Keep up the vid's as we really enjoy them. Oh yah.. bring extra batteries for the camera!!!
Father and son combination working together fantastic job and what you are doing step by step easy to follow guide , you are an excellent teacher well done , all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
The instalation part starting at 21:40: now that's what I would call a "press fit" lol
Tell your son with the carbon arc gouge one of the things to keep out of the base metal is to feed it into the weld your removing along the weld line not down into the metal. Its tricky because you have to feed it into 2 directions at once. He needs to practice on some scrap tell him to carve out the center without blowing through the plate. Thats is how I got onto it real quick.
Tell Issac what you need and take the rest of the day off. When you return, the repair will exceed your expectations and then some.
Issac and his son do first class repair work!
Big Daddy Isaac. I laughed. That look 😄😄 . Nice job. If there was a two 👍' s button I'd press it.
Man ! That fits like socks on a rooster 😄
Oh man that over the shoulder shot was great. We could watch the separation line develop behind your gouging. Have a great day.
Nice to see you're son not afraid of being thrown into the fire! Well done young man, chip off the ole block !
I believe it’s every fathers wish to share his passion with his son great to see😊
Nothing fazes this guy. “ It is what it is “ get on with it. What a joy to watch this guy work.
I have always taken pride in teaching my apprentices and my reward was them asking our boss to work with me...Just saying you're a great teacher
A good solid tradesman who knows his stuff and is willing to share it, to teach the next generation of tradies is vital. Many tradespeople are not comfortable with passing on their knowledge for a variety of reasons, so it is vital that an apprentice is looked after by a tradesman who enjoys sharing the knowledge and skills required.
I have been there and done it as a metal worker apprentice building off-shore platforms in Norway. Great memories. Worked on building the Troll-A gas platform in early 90's.
As a 27 year electrician, it’s a good feeling when the apprentices squabble to get to work with me. One of the best feelings is when my former helpers test and break out into journeymen. I do my best to bring them back home alive everyday and to teach them as much as I can. The absolute best is when they shake my hand years later and thank me for helping them advance in their career. Thanks for taking us along, Isaac. Bless you and your family, Sir
Great job , I love watching your videos
I think it’s fantastic that you are teaching your son the trade, also I’m happy to see your son is interested in learning the trade. You do fantastic work and I enjoy seeing someone that’s not afraid to criticize their own work. Great job and I love the content. 👍🇺🇸
It's great to see that your son is learning. I do like this when people show others skills at the same "level" and not from above looking down on others👌😎👍👍
Great to see Father & Son working as a team.. great job !! 🇬🇧🇬🇧
my dad and always are butting head when we work until we start welding and operating equipment together then we are a team.
Nice job, Big Daddy Issac
The best training is field training; hands on, real life training. Always enjoying your channel.
Hahaha I was about to ask how you find help and then all the comments confirm it is your son. Bravo. I'm 23 and want a family and hope I can work with my son one day in my excavation business
Love to see Jr playing with fire and learning the trade.
I'm sorry, but I think it's a beautiful weld. Greetings from Finland.
Job well done. Also, thank frak for the previous owner's cheap "repairs" because this meant you did your job to 100% and proper.
Ark welding is an art form. Not every dance can be perfect. Another great video thanks
What a fantastic father-son team. Thank you very much for walking us through the job.
14👍's up IC WELD thank you for sharing
At the beginning of the video was thinking when is he going to let young grass hopper use the arc air, then you you are teaching him how to. There is only one way to learn and that is to just do it. Having a great teacher sure helps.
Hello, I stumbled on to your video, & was really pleased to find someone who knows what there doing, so I watch & learn more about a trade I enjoyed learning,I sold my old stick welder & have always wanted to get another,watching your videos inspired me to find my old welder that I had sold to a former co worker & friend.he passed a while back,but he showed me more or less one time about where he lived,I’m going to see in I can buy it back & continue welding small projects that were so gratifying to complete a few years back, thanks for the inspiration,& keep up the good work,hope you keep showing videos because there really interesting & like food for my brain or at least what I have left in my aging body👍🏼 thanks again.
I hope you can find it and Im glad to hear youre getting back in the saddle.
I wish my Son was as willing to learn as yours,but I guess some of us are cut out to do different type work, he’s doing good in the Air Force,so I can’t really complain,but I only want him to be able to repair things with his hands & use the knowledge that it takes to figure things out on his own & feel the satisfaction you get when you finish a job that could out last the time we have here on this earth. Your a lucky man my friend.
I was yelling at the TV, spin it spin it. Then I seen the count down. Lmao
Brilliant people love the videos thank you ❤️👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
PROPER… ISAAC!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always a learning experience. True enjoyment, seeing your son serving his apprenticeship under your guidance. He will be one helluva Tradesman, and Craftsman with your tutoring. You can teach him what’s not in books. Well done! God Bless !🙏⭐️😇👍
You do an awesome job of explaining to us what, why, and how to some degree, and I appreciate it. You seem like you would be a great instructor. Keep up the great job. You also do a great job of editing your videos. Thanks
I appreciate that.
Obi Wan teaches young Luke the way of the arc force.🤜🤜🖐🖐May the arc force work with you young Padawan! 🤔🤔I always like welding weaves after the root pass on big pins. Plus I add a center hole to the pin ends so they can be easily located for the next time and punch mark the pin dia there too.
Second generation learns a new skill, good video, good instructor.
Glad to see your boy getting more work in there. The only way he'll really learn is getting his hands dirty. Keep up the good work!!!
The weld looks fine, don't worry about it. It's great that you can pass on your skills with patience and explanations.
As usual a great video, plenty to learn from after seeing the master at work. Great to see you training your son up on AAG. When l finally get the right gear together for arc gouging you will be my training resource too.
Top respect!
Thank you Issac and son. A great repair with no wiggle in that chuck. That beautyful machine will Now bend more rock drills😂😂😂❤
This is my first of your videos, THANK YOU, thank you for teaching the trade to the next generation. What you are doing is what a good father does, he ensures his children learn skills that will put food on the table even if later they decide to go to college. This video is about a foundation drilling machine but you are the machine drilling a great foundation into your son’s mind. 👍🏼
Ah yes, grinding machines, putting food on the table for welders all over the world. Nice job. Take care. See you again soon.
Mike Rowe would be proud of this passing of knowledge to the next generation.
Great job. That’s exactly how my dad taught me. Trial by fire 🔥 lol. 40 years later I’m teaching my son the same way!! Keep the vids coming there helping me teach him some easier ways to do things !
A fair number of critical movements as arc to both removal and build up. I was watching with attention to detail. I had the view the weldment....and the machine operator were very skilled at the fitting to pin replacement. Thanks for the instruction. I really like to watch some techniques I seldom use but find needed on occasion. M.
Great video, nice job
Safe travels guys
Awesome video. Sent here from meltin metal Anthony.
“Git ‘er done Big Daddy Isaac!”
😄😄😄
Isn’t satisfying when the job goes as anticipated. With a clump on the right spot from the correct size hammer. Magic.
Excellent Craftsmanship, and some Dam Good Welding... Kudos from the Mountains of Western Pennsylvania 🙂🇺🇸
" They call him big daddy Isaac! " Loved the video and great job as allways!
I appreciate your skill level. It would help us guys that glue our own stuff back together if you might tells us the rod type, size, and amperage that you are using for a particular weld. Thank you for your videos, and I hope you are paid accordingly.
Wayne
Great suggestion!
Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering does a really good job of that. I don’t understand any of it but he explains the wire type, feed rate, voltage, and shielding gas he is using.
I am so happy and jealous of you that your son is following in your footsteps. Job well done
Awesome as always guys . Great to see the lad getting dropped in at the deep end , no time like the present to learn how to, no chance worrying if you can do it or not you got to do it Dads watching and so are we . Lol. Couldn't have a better teacher . And about this welding and grinding it off huh..lol. I'm sure there's a good few of us that would be chuffed to be able to get our stick welding to look anything like yours on a bad day . Many thanks for sharing the videos Issac.
He's pretty good at cleaning off slag. I think it's about time to move him up to the gouging rod. 👍👍👍
Your son has a good teacher. 👍 I am sure he knows a lot already working with you. Take care both of you.
25:51 is metal-class ART!!
Thank you for your Videos!! Your son is lucky to have a teacher like you.
More awesome craftsmanship!
just wanted to say thank you , i have picked up many tip from your channel
Being a Water Well Driller from the northeast i can relate to this video! Great job men! I learned how to weld from my father also!
Angle of the dangle is always a factor. All you can do is fight the fatigue and push on. 👍
I always like watching you involve and teach the son in your vids, reminds me of them days with my own father boy the world doesn't know what it's missing with the lacking of men teaching their sons these trades
"WHAT'S YOUR NAME?! THEY CALL ME BIG DADDY ISAAC!" 😂
Isic I won't tell anyone !! God Bless!!
Always a pleasure to watch you work. Your son is coming along very well. Going to be a master welder like his father. Thanks very much for sharing.
It’s awesome to see you working with your son and teaching him well. One can go to welding school and learn how to weld a joint with perfect set up on a table. But the schooling he is getting from you out in the field on jobs. That’s real world training that will last. Everyone has to start and you are giving him the best start that will last with him. Even if he doesn’t make a career with welding. It will always be part of him. And if he does make a career out of welding he will be good at it from learning from a master as yourself 👍
There’s always that one guy on a job that has to stand right up on you when you’re working.
Nice to see Jr. working with the old man.
Awesome job, that's parenting done right!!! You are teaching him a valuable skill set. The welds were great, our trade isn't about the prettiest weld it's about getting it right, which you always do. Stay safe and God bless
Seems strange to weld in the pin. Defeats the purpose of what I would of thought was it’s use, to make it easy to change heads. Learn so much every video of yours I watch.
Dude you are still the best in Texas. And yes that is great you are taking command of training your son in one of the most useful trades in the nation. Teach him well and he will be able to work anywhere in the world in one of the most in demand trades and one that will always be so. Another job weld done by I C Weld in action... LOL.
Nothing beats a father and son team awesome job.
Student and Teacher at it again love to see him learn from the master !! Looks like another quality repair !! I think it looks fabulous and smart idea of using those nar clamps as a arm rest that's how you do it !! 👍👍
There's a lot of way to "skin a cat", but after watching Isaac I have to remind myself, no matter how easy he makes it look, that cats never going to be the same! Great job, again.
You are a very good welder field conditions are far harder
Great Footage of the whole Job Thank you ,That young man is learning from the Best .thank you .
On the money as always! Site work never is the perfect environment.. A little undercut just shows you exactly where to gouge next time! Thanks for taking us along!
Glad you're training your son and happy he wants to learn from your talent. Looks like he's getting there.
It's good to see your son working with you.. I watch another channel where the man has his son "trying to work" with him and the difference in attitude is remarkable.. Your Son gets in there and works while the other man's son just stands around and mouths off :(
Still have some lathe tooling hanging around here for you :)
Or worse stands around gawking at their phones and mouthing off at the same time!
I appreciate that. Thank you for your willingness to assist. I believe I sent you my info.
Good to see that your son is learning, and you take the time, and a LOT of time, it takes years to learn a skill like this and one day he will be that good also.
Wow!!! What a great dad!!! I learned back in the 80's and taught my dad to weld.. I'm not near the welder you are but I really enjoy watching you tackle these real world jobs!!! Hope you had a great Thanks giving sir!!! 🙂
Thanks Issac and Son great video 👍✅ take care of yourself and family ❤️❤️❤️
Always a clean job. You make it look effortless every time
Looks like it will work. That is pretty much what is important on this repair. Actually, I'd expect half the weld would be more than enough to keep that pin in place.
So the world will have two very talented welders 😊. That’s fantastic news. It’s a shame there’s not more.
Well done, as always.
When you put the bar clamps on before welding the pin, I was trying to figure out what you were clamping. But I figured it out. It's always interesting to see what you do for arm rests.
Hi , Isaac, and son, and hi to jeff as well, nice job mate it came apart better than I expected, I guess you never know how bad it will be until you get going on these jobs. At least the weather was kind to you guys, thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Beautiful work !!!
I am really proud of you and your Mini for takin that lad on the job with you.
I am sure he learns much more in one day with you than he would learn in a month of school.
That pin will be in there until someone takes it out.
Dont worry about that.
My new fav quote is: "I dont think it will fall off" :)
Keep up the great work and thank you so very much for showin us how you do it :)
Hi Jeff the Driller :)
Thanks Isaac and son team work. Hello Jeff.
Great video Issac . Your the master sir. Thanks for the video.
