- Hey guys, well here is a nice quick job that came by the shop and has been waiting for a while. Been super busy and I finally was able to get to it. Here the customer had already tried to remove the pin with no success. Fortunately for him, we are able to remove it. Stick around and kick back for a bit. Watch the molten metal pour out and make sure not to be wearing your sandals. Thanks for the support.

Thank you Issac. I know you probably think it’s nothing but I look forward to everyone of your videos. It’s amazing how talented you are and entertaining it is to watch you at work. You are so gifted and humble at the same time.
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While I was watching this the wife walked by and said: "No, you can't have one."
You should of replied, I already have one.
lol, you mean I can't have another one :-)
did you tell her she is no fun!
Dawn wives
But I need it 😂
With much respect, swinging that sledgehammer is a young man's game. I'm 64 and still learn so much from you. Thank you sir.
True, but Issac is a BFI, Big Fucking Indian, meant with much respect.
His people build a nation.
@@generaldisarrayyou called him an Indian and not a Native American lol
@@itzyaaboyytht5550 well BFNA, just doesn't have the same ring to it as BFI. 🤣🤣
Plus it was the invaders, that stole their land, who called it The Americas/America, so NA seems like a kick in the nuts to me..
To be completely correct it should be Native Turtle Islander, which would make it a BFNTI
That thing suffered from severe grease neglect. The slop in the body swing pins was nuts. Nice work.
That's pretty bad
it looks like no greased the unit at all Wow he missed the money shot
My guess is the whole thing is in the same worn out condition
ya they are one of the best brands, there is no way a design flaw led to this failure.
@@f0rumrrI believe it's a design flaw as the pin only has a grease zerk for the hydraulic cylinder but nothing on the pin mounts as it doesn't rotate. The pin should have been installed with anti seize or a pin with non-corrosive surface.
It’s a good day when you post a new video!
That fire blanket is headed for sainthood, it's holier than the Pope.
😂
Oh, that blanket is young yet. Yes it is holier than the Pope but it’s nowhere near as holy as Swiss cheese.
it looks like it has seen Hell !!
😨
and came Back !!

They are surprisingly expensive!! .. . the old Asbestos ones were LOADS better, they lasted forever, but nobody wants them on a job site now.
I have a BIG pair of mitts that are asbestos, I keep the in a plastic bag and still use them occasionally :) ... I've had them for over 40 years, and they look like they are just getting that "nicely broken-in" look, so far! :)
@@MikeBaxterABC the whole asbestosis thing is mostly just 'cottage industry" BS. As a manager of a govt facility about to have some work done on a 1967 vintage FAA ATC tower, asbestos was present in the building and mitigation issues were mandated. The industrial hygienist told me there had never ever been a documented case of asbestosis in any person who was not a smoker. Additionally, asbestosis is only an issue for occupational exposer (daily and constant). Billions of dollars and brain cells have been expended worrying about the imaginary asbestosis boogie man through occasional contact/exposure.
Every time you put a video. I LOVE watching them. You sir are good at your work. Love it .Stay safe my friend.
You got the pin out, that’s the point. Nice job. Interesting technique. 👍
Whenever you were driving that pin out every time you hit it that piece the boom or stick attaches to had a lot of play in it, and from the looks of that cylinder that controls that they’ve had that same problem with that one too.
Great job, Isaac!
First 👍's up IC WELD thank you for sharing 🤗
I was just thinking. The stories that fire blanket could tell!! 😄
Was just thinking the same 😊
I reckon that fire blanket would be doing a lot of moaning about all of the rough things Isaac does to him! 😅
Thanks for sharing. As always, it's a pleasure to watch good hard work that pays off. Thanks again from Western Alaska.
Speaking for myself I like real-time videos. Something you can not control, the weather the camera is all part of being a presenter. All the same, I love your videos keep them coming.
We were always afraid to use the word "simple" in the machine shop. Afraid it would bite us in the butt. We preferred the phrase straight forward.
Thanks for the video.
You crack me up with “Liquid hot magma” Austin powers reference haha. Love the vids! Thanks for sharing your awesome skills!
Groovy!!
Isaac makes things that are often difficult look much much easier. Skilled in his craft for sure. That was much more than sticking a hot straw in a hole.
Another awesome video Issac ,those pins can be challenging , even less though you have the right tool for the job and save a few hours of heating and hammering and you already live in one of the hottest climates in the country, your knowledge pays off in spades and no shoulder injury from swinging the hammer, i know those rods run over $200 buck/box, I work in heavy steel and have watched our millwrights use them and it is so key to make sure the area is safe from any chance of fire in our environment, the customer was wise to hire you to do the work,👍
And here I am thinking I was the only person that used a sucker rod for a punch. Good video as always.
Thank you for sharing ICweld! We have a whole fleet of those machines at work and when we have to change boom cylinders thise pins are allway a fight and usually have to pierced through to get them out.
I like to use a hydraulic breaker to push pins out. Sometime it takes a creative setup... But it don't always work..
@@brucejensen3533that is a fact! I love a breaker on mini if I can get to it. I did one of these on a bobcat last week and used hilti 30 lb electric demo hammer. I will grab anything in the shop to try to do the beating for me.
I have one of these and have only had to use it once. He's so casual about using it but i can truly say it's terrifying 😂. Great work as always!
This is the first time i have seen this particular process Issac. Thank You for sharing the information. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends.
That was a very interesting process to get that pin out. I have never seen this before. You learn something new every day! Thanks for the video Issac.😀👍
Issac, we all know you went and found Junior, he swung once, blindfolded with his bad hand and shot it out of there.....Come on man! Love the simplicity and honest hard working your videos are. Thank you!
Hey bud, I’ve lanced and beat many pins out in my day…I’m super impressed with your stamina in beating that pin out…you swing that hammer like you’re still in your fucking twenties bud!
Oh...Thanks.. Its all smoke and mirrors!!. It was tough. Especially being over half a century. Ain't no spring chicken anymore!
Should have took IC Jr out of school that day to work the hammer lol. My little brother worked with us a while and I took a paint marker and wrote his name on our 20lb sledge
Best feeling in the world once that frozen pin starts moving😎😎😎
I really enjoy watching the different processes you use in your videos. This one was interesting. Keep up the great work!...Rick H
Cooling with the hose like that really shocks the rust via expansion/contraction.
Nice work.
Wow, that torch work looked amazing, if a bit dangerous. Eight bucks for a rod is a lot, but it sure gets the metal moving in a hurry. Thanks for another excellent video.
Shocking how fast that rod buries itself in the pin, with only an arc plus oxygen. That’s a serious combustion reaction.
It doesn't go through the pin as fast as it looks. The burning bar consumes itself very fast.
I was a welder for 40yrs. Use this process every now and then. You can also start the rod with an OXY/ACY torch. Iron pipe and oxygen also works and is cheaper. Old guys know stuff…
I'm learning a lot of really useful techniques from you, thanks for this content. Kurtis over at CEE (Cutting Edge Engineering Australia) says he watches this channel...that says a lot!
Nicely done Issac great job blasting out the pin ❤. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed.
You are great at explaining everything you do. Awesome. Keep it up
You can make your own rods. All they are are mild steel tubes with mig wire down the center. I made one out of 1/2 black gas pipe fed by 4 oxygen tanks. Heat the end white hot with an acetylene torch and turn on the oxygen. You can also use steel brake line for smaller jobs.
“Liquid MAG-MA….”

Great video of a cool process, thanks man 👌
Excellent work.
Two words, safe cracking. Who needs a guy to crack the combination when you can just use a thermal lance to cut the hinges off.
Well it depends on what you're trying to steal out of it. These days, they're pretty well insulated I think, so you might be ok if you're careful and deliberate
@@maxscott3349 if it's money or gems in the safe
step 1 cut hole in top of safe, mag drill or thermal lance
step 2 fill safe with water
step 3 thermal lance the door off that sucker
@@maxscott3349 I've seen the movie The Score
Step 1 make hole in top of safe, mag drill or thermal lance
Step 2 fill safe with water
Step 3 cut the door off that safe and get the loot
Step 4 island in the sun
@@generaldisarrayI worked for as a helper/apprentice for a Safe Smith and right after that movie came out went on several calls to open up safes where someone tried to break into it like in that movie and on two attempts the thieves were never able to drill through the safe because unlike in the movie safes from the in between the layers of hard plate is fireproofing and void filled with hardened steel balls and are there to stop or at the very least to slow down the drilling of a safe. As far as using an exothermic torch to cut a hole in the safe to cut a hole in it to fill it with water several things will happen the first is smoke and heat alarms inside and outside the safe will go off, next is filling the safe with water because just suppose you got that far in the heist and the safe is of size enough to make this Hollywood fiction worthwhile to do is going to a lot of water which is going to take a lot of time to fill the thing which in turn puts outward pressure on the locking rods making cutting of them or driving them back into the door next to probably impossible. Remember a pint of water equals a pound the world around which makes a gallon of H2O weigh 8 pounds. Lastly do you know how much a good quality safe door weighs. By good quality I am not talking about a gun safe but rather one like in a jewelry store or a bank etc. In short it was a great scene in the movies but in real life is absolutely male bovine manure. The third call I went on after the attempted movie style safe heist ended up catching the contents of the safe/vault on fire a triggered the sprinkler system in the building and halon system in the vault as well as the soaking wet thieves and do you know how gross the water in the sprinkler system and stand pipes can be. Have a good day and a better tomorrow
Or just make a tiny hole, fill with water and drop a little bit of expl0sive stuff into it.
Water shock will crack it, because pressure is transferred directly into water.
This was very interesting to me. I had never seen this kind of tool. I have been retired for 28 years so some of the details I am about to relate may be off a bit. I retired from a very large lumber mill on the north coast and they had a machine shop where they did all of of their repair work. Every so often they would loose a bearing on one of their band saws. The band wheel was approximately 8 ft. in diameter and the wheel face was about 12 in wide. the shaft in the wheel was approximately 4 inches in diameter and were a shrink fit in the bore. In order to get the shaft out, they would burn it off near the wheel hub, then stand the wheel up with a bridge crane. They would make a lance from 1/4 inch black pipe and hook it to the oxygen tank. As I remember they would start the burn with an arc welder then blow their way through the shaft. Lots of sparks and noise.
Very similar process.
Every time you put a video. I LOVE watching them.
Hard perseverance pays off. Nice work. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
I hope you were paid ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!! for all that magma! Awesome as always.
Horrible amount of spam crap messages masquerading as @I C Weld coming back.
Hello i just found this video after watching clint and crew from CandC equipment,they are one of my favorite equipment repair content creators. After watching this video i have subscribed and i will be looking forward to what you put out in the future - Mathieu from Colorado springs -
I'm actually surprised how small the mess was.Well done
I'm one of these guys that do the same work as you the people I helped the only thing older than them is their equipment I know you know exactly what I'm talking about is a joy to watch your work thanks a lot
All because they were too lazy to grease the machine daily !!!! Now look what it cost !!!!
No. It’s a captive pin in those bores. They don’t get greased because they don’t move. Those pins seize up on all machines.
@codyjones4280 Maybe you missed the grease zerk that is in middle of where the pin goes through the cylinder?
@@nedflora1154 Exactly !!!
@@mrbill8542
The grease fitting is for the interface between the hydraulic cylinder and the pin. There is no grease between the pin and the mounting brackets.
@@richardlincoln8438 Funny--mine greases the whole pin !!
Another excellent job, first class.
I used to drill pin out most of the way through not all the way, this weakened it, then I got it hot then used a big drift through the hole to knock out the weakened pin from the inside and almost opposite end. It stopped you turning the pin into a rivet by hammering one end. Probably work with this Thermic lance arrangement as well! Nice tool.
Thank you for the video . Please keep them coming
Haha. I was talking to the screen, wondering whether the cylinder would handle all that heat when you mentioned it. Maybe you heard me 😎. Man, that was serious work in Texas heat. Be careful, my brother.
That little nick is no big deal, well done and hope you have a good week end.
Great to watch a skilled craftsman at work. I look forward to your projects and your taking time to explain them. Greetings from Fredericksburg.
Best channel on CZcams
Nice work with the hammer, heavy hitter every time.
Great job! Thanks for your time.
Great Job !!
Always Great to see what youve been on with !!
Isaac once again it’s like watching a surgeon in an operating room I learned a few new tricks everything I would invest in the light duty small electric jackhammer so you don’t have to be slinging a 12 pound bang against steel and bring your boom truck over close enough to hold the jackhammers are bang through the boom I know it’s a lot of set up time and you’re trying to make a video but I can’t imagine how many Tylenol bottles you go through a week for the aches and pain i’m older than you when I get aches and pains keep up the great work where is the kid Hidden????????????well take care stay safe wait for the next video I got a six pack of beer and a bag of popcorn can’t wait to see you Sam Bacon
At some point, its somehow easier to part with bucks than endure the drama to the body.
We call this "lancing" and we do a lot of it. The huge mining shovels require rods that are 1" in diameter and 30 feet long, sometimes we have to join two rods together to reach. Have to use 3-4 people to control the motion and stands also. The oxygen is 16 bottles all linked together but it still only needs 30-40 psi to work. Really cool stuff
30 to 40 PSI for sure but as you correctly point out the volume provided by the multiple tanks maintaining the oxygen that flow does the work, it takes a big hose to maintain the right pressure at the business end of a large lancing rod! I think that is probably the number one reason some guys have serious problems with the larger rods, doesn't much matter what the gauge reads if it gets choked down by a too small hose or other choke point between the gauge and the rods.
As always, a pleasure to watch you work.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
After all the heating and beating the squirt of wd got me cracking up🤣🤣
Thanks for the videos brother 💯👊
its impressive watching you swing that hammer. the amount of power and speed to maintain accuracy is INSANE
Another great video Isaac. Thanks for making these for us. I'll watch whatever it is you are working on.
When a stubborn pin vs I C Weld, there is only going to be one winner and it won't be the pin!
Cool ! I remember my dad letting me try that when I was a teenager . He was a welder .
Thank you for sharing, another great job, i learn a lot , always a pleasure watch your video , from quebec ,canada 👍👍👍👍
Another excellent job & video! Exothermic definitely has it's place; for jobs like this it is THE go-to. Well done & thanks!
Great job…!!! Super cool tool..!!
That was super fast didn’t except that,excellent work my friend.
You always have wonderful content to show us Isaac. Thank you!
Great video, Isaac. That boring tool really blasts a hole through the pin!
NIce job Issac, that is certainly one way to get that stuck pin out. Always enjoy watching your efforts. Cheers
Air Lance! Is what I call it😊. Afteryou get a hole all the way through, pour water in it, to shrink the pin, usuallyit will come rightout.. Well done😊
Love those things for pin removal can’t tell you how many pins I’ve taken out with a Slice torch!!
Well that was super cool thanks for sharing!
Defiantly in shape swinging that hammer like that! Thanks for another Great video!!!
Thanks for showing the setup. I was a little surprised how fast the rods burn up. Handy tool though.
Thanks for sharing Isaac, great job as always. Looking forward to more videos. Stay well be safe. God bless you, your family and friends.
Well done Isaac. You can always trust technology to let you down.
Nice work, always learning from you, Thank you
I didn't know if it was you or not with your beard, untill I saw your signature fire blanket! Your the best!
Wow, thats a mini-mini excavator.
Or somebody left a bigger excavator out in the rain? 😅
Great Job. 👍
Awesome job thanks for filming
Remember….type of process…..amps and voltage …..it helps us out there in welding land. You are the boss when it comes to making metal bend to your will! 😊😊😊Steve
I missed your videos lately, was great to see another installment. Nice work on this one!
thats a cool process and fast too thanks for the video
Thank you for the vid. It reminded me to grease my tractor and backhoe this weekend. Keep up the great work.
Always interesting work! Take care and be safe...
We used these all the time on fishing vessels back in the day. Great work sir.
We saw the majority or the process. No worries.
I learned stuff today. Thanks Isaac!
You should have drove the pin back in a few inches and then knocked it out, so we could see the money shot lol. Great video thank you for your time and knowledge.
That was pretty neat, I always wondered how to use one of those. I think I need one.
I have used these since early 90s on bridge work. We always called them air lance
beautiful job, you are a very skilled worker
Great work Issac👍
Put the pin back in and reshoot it 🤪 we'll never know the difference . Well done ,
Thanks for your videos!
Like how you work ,slow and steady good job
Great job! 😎
Nice job! I was waiting for a video, thank you!
I'd heard of it but never saw it used, great job
