    @HickSquatch Před rokem +197

    I stopped by and got to see the wrecker: beautiful fab work!! Ed came over and shook my hand: huge honor to meet him! Looking in his eyes, there’s a lot of stories and experiences in there, and they’re clear and bright. I was deeply honored that he seemed to be happy to meet me and that I knew his name before he spoke. I greeted him “Hello Mr Ed, how are you Sir?” I would LOVE a documentary on this man’s life!! This is a man who built the “block” that others claim to have “been around “. I have large hands and his were like shaking hands with a baseball mitt: they’ve known a lot of work!!
    And the doggies are happy, healthy and clean and comfortable and well cared for by The Man, Ed. 💪🙏♥️. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and for being such a great inspiration and role model for us to aspire to.

  • @zozohoney79
    @zozohoney79 Před rokem +805

    As a structural welder of 20 years, I would like to give you a little tip. When you get to the end of your welds, normally there will be hairline cracks in the crater. You'll see these cracks more visibly with aluminum, but they're there with steel as well (can be seen with magnetic particle inspection). With something that's truly static it doesn't matter as much, but with some parts on the wrecker that are moving, over time those small cracks can run along the length of the weld and cause it to fail. I've seen this first hand several times. Maybe you do this off camera, but from what if seen in your vids you don't. At the end of the weld, pause for a second, then give a little shot extra in the crater. This will cap the tiny cracks, and keep it from potentially working their way down the weld. Aside from that, I like the work you guys are doing!

    • @mareli82
      @mareli82 Před rokem +41

      if you get shrink / crater crak at the end of every weld you are doing something wrong, but your solution to preventing it is spot on , fill the end a sec longer to prevent to crater to form.

      @j.decker7443 Před rokem +65

      I agree. I have been a welding inspector since 1984. When you are welding the weld crater is digging into the base materials. If you just stop without filling the crater you will have an undercut situation and a crack will form. One other thing to do, if possible, continue to weld around the corner into the opposite side weld. Ends of weld are a great place for fatigue cracks to start.

    • @charlesirby9222

      My only concern is in an off road environment , mud, sand, ect. they will pack debris against the seal causing premature failure of the seal. the seal or wipe is designed to wipe the staff ,as the stopper comes in to bottom out it is going to trap and press debris under the wipe.

    So happy I found your wonderful bunch people. Strange sounding sentence but it says what I feel.
    You show us the work on the Heavy Wrecker and go right into part of the team there as you show Ed his new apartment. That is the beauty of this channel you have built, caring for others all the time.
    I will say that Ed probably feels like the luckiest man in the world. To have Matt and Jamie who care so much for him is a God send.
    Thanks from the reaches our hearts for all you share with us.
    P.S. Where are you going to build TomTom's apartment? Maybe he could just move into the trailer since it's no longer in use.
