    A much improved video, no music and speech is fine. You can't help background noise and it doesn't intrude much. I enjoy repair videos watching something that a lot of people would scrap come back to life as a useful object. Can't wait for part two.

    Had never heard of a "Magic Eye Cutter" but boy, what a machine that is. Draw something up on card and hey presto, the tilly lamp wanders up and down the drawing whilst the torch does it's biz.. Just love watching these videos and thoroughly enjoy seeing a skilled fabricator so focused on getting it right and on price..

Anyway, you are not a studio movie maker, you are a working man in first place, so thank you for your time and effort done filming this. Maybe many are comparing with other channels where they are doing "fake jobs" only to have what to film and having allready a script and $$$ in video/audio equipment. You are doing great 👍

    @jamesriordan3494 Před rokem +15

    Appreciate the benefit of your thinking about process / order of operations - well done ! Now, Isaac and his torch - sets a high bar that man. One thing I’ve noticed and adopted myself is his habit of going through the full motion of the cut in advance to check hand and torch positioning - definitely eliminates / reduces potential tight spots and “unforced errors”. Maybe basic stuff, but has helped me quite a bit.

    • @snowballengineering
      @snowballengineering  Před rokem +9

    Good start to your bucket repair. Amazes me how people just do repair and then cannot get access for the pin maintenance later on. I liked the bit about ic weld made me laugh. He did a repair on a cat 360 digger arm. He bevelled a piece of plate and said clean it with grinder or maybe not. It was cut so clean it didn't need any grinding. He is God's gift to torch cutting and more. You deserve the work you are getting no cutting corners with you very good honest repairs. Look forward to part two thanks ruth.

      Old but still very useful. I have a cnc machine as well but it won’t cut thick enough for this job. Thanks for watching.

  • @user-dn4iv2ne6r
    @user-dn4iv2ne6r Před 9 měsíci +1

    Your machine torch cuts look very good. Suggest increasing your travel speed maybe 10%. Watch the edge for excess melting. Increase speed until the edge looks crisper. Running the around the plate first with the flame lit but not cutting will give a bit of preheat and pop off some of the scale and rust. The line burner has some serious leakage around the base of the tip. Thinking you are not using the correct tip for the torch.

    You do get a good variety of work, some of it is bound to be repetitive, but you cope very well with the different projects. I used to prefer to work alone and I did loads of field/off site work all over UK, Europe and USA. Wherever I went I found that engineers were very helpful and friendly, which helps. Good job off to see part 2. 👍

    I notice your having trouble doing your weld prep bevels with the straight line " quicky"cutter, would it work better if you converted the head to hold your freehand plasma torch, it might be worth a try , anything is better than endless grinding on thick plate.

Looks like you have a nice set up for repair work. I willl have a look at your other vids too, the shop made line boring rig looks very promising. Cheers

    Three observations Always preheat. run the flame across the steel at cutting speed without cutting oxygen on.
    Try a 1/8 nozzle for cutting out bent parts and bevel cutting by hand.
    Bolt a 1” plywood board 18”x18” to the drill press.
    I’m impressed by the kit & workshop you have. How did you come by it all. Inherited? Purchase ? I hope you change enough. I enjoyed the work but was also under paid & taken for granted. I moved to FE welding lecturer . Do something about the seating nozzle flame it can cause over heating problems.
