- Having trouble removing broken bolts? This is a trick I learned some time back. Fortunately these were rather large bolts which helps with the ease of using this type of procedure. hopefully this will help. Please like and subscribe. Im really looking forward to making more helpful videos if theyre useful to you guys. Thanks for your support.
Slickest trick ive seen in a while. Tools all at hand, knows his shit. Doesnt get much better than that. Respect sir.
This is what I like, to actually see the "struggle of reality" vs, "we'll do this off camera". No need to apologize for a long video, these are the best kind. Just got another subscriber. Great video. Cheers :)
Another one here. - If anyone thinks its too long, he can always skip forward.
I like it.
I agree, honesty is a rare comodity today. The values i appreciate are longsuffering, perseverance and the ability to push through and get the job done... rare brother and you have them in spades.
Awesome job 👌
That’s awesome. I welded for BP for 19 years. Was in an explosion and am unable to work now. You’ve reminded me how much I miss it. Keep it up guy. You’ve got this!
I have never seen the pipe extraction trick before, very cool. Classic Work sent me here.
I have used a MIG welder with a hex nut, welding to the top of a broken bolt. I never thought of using a piece of pipe to get into a recessed hole like this. Thanks for this and all your great videos! Keep 'em coming Isaac. You are a joy to watch!

Thank you
Brilliant hack/trick and what is really great is that it didn't work perfectly, you had to keep trying and then you won the battle. Don't worry about the length of the videos, I am grateful for the chance to learn a new way to solve a common old problem! Cheers from Northern England!
Used that little trick on broken engine to transmission bolts on smaller older John Deere loaders and dozers many times! Great job done by a professional 👏👍!
Any chance you might be able to give us a "rig tour" / more images of your rig or info on what you're carrying on your rig... whereas some of us are trying to get advice and knowledge to advance ourselves in your field.... thanks
I enjoy all the struggle that goes along. It shows we aren’t all perfect and that it’s doable if you try hard enough.
They call it a “trade” and what it takes is “skill” but at your level it’s an art. Bravo to a job well done!
Skill and experience.
Like this guy. Professional and experienced and easy to understand.
A clever man as yourself will never be unemployed. Great work ! Thanks
I like these long videos because it really shows just how hard this work is. When someone cuts a half hour video down to ten minutes, you don’t get a real idea of what’s happening, and it seems easier than it really is. So thanks for not editing this down.
Thank you for taking us along with all the different welding jobs you do. It’s amazing to watch and listen to how you explain what your doing along with showing what really happens out there welding. Please keep making your videos on CZcams.
This is the kind of work I like very challenging both physically and mentally difficult to tackle cus u don't know the outcome A job that other welder fabricator rejected hi regard mate from. Phil's.
You introduce the welding trade to so many people here of all ages, your teaching millions of perspective welders skills that a lot of them will find useful when they start there welding careers in the future. Thanks
It’s so calming to watch someone else doing a crappy job. We work all week during the day then watch others work afterwards. Tv must really suck
Issac you make a good point about how field repairs are not always as simple as the picture we post for social media. Great video Brother!
Love it man! No need to apologize for long videos, they are now then worth it!
Never boring to watch a craftsman at work, overcoming setbacks without a fuss and getting the job done right! Respect to you sir!
I was planning to fast forward but when I started watching and saw what you were doing I watched the whole thing. What a neat trick! I appreciate the fact that you show the whole process, warts and all. That way if I ever have a need to use that method I’ll know that even an expert had to try multiple times to make it work. Just flat awesome! Just got another subscriber here.
I appreciate it man. ;)
This was very impressing. I realize right now, how useless i am for not having ideas like this. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge.
Showing the real side of things takes guts to admit that not every thing we try goes real well. I have used that method and when the stick got stuck, I just shoved another right in and kept twisting on the first as it melts it turns loose. Sometimes... I have had two rods stuck in it but that and the heat brought it out anyway... a thousand ways it works out. New subscriber as you were given the heads up by the boy who has a old truck he fabed back together and does a fair job, his last one working on a bent eye on a yard bucket for a excavator. He is on my list but my memory is so bad that ten minutes might be a lifetime. Good work on both of you from a old field mech from the sixties this way... crippled now
Wow, welding the inside of a pipe is a GREAT trick. I welded for years, never saw that one before. GREAT JOB !
I love watching this guy work. Learned a cool trick here. Never thought of using a pipe like that.
Firstly, Hola senior. I'm from Southampton, in the UK, not the USA. Secondly, I'm not sure if you still read comments related to a video you made 3 years ago, but just in case you do, here goes.
I watched one of yours for the first time two weeks ago, having been suggested by CZcams. I had just finished watching a guy called Karl, who customises vehicles and uploads weekly. His channel is called, 'Make It Custom', if you are interested. He's in Canada, a great guy who explains everything in detail, much like you do, so that the average weekend DIY fabricator, welder, car enthusiast, can learn from.
He had just chopped a roof and then weld it back on having made spesific parts for the A posts by hand. His fabrication and welding techniques in different methods, materials, and conditions is the best I have seen in a long time. A nice down to earth fella showing us it is possible to achieve the desired look from a piece of metal using the basic of tools.
Anyway, I was impressed by your skill in using the torch, bravo sir. 👏👏👏 I now subscribe to your channel, 😁 but it is very rare for me to leave comments, but after seeing how you dealt with these bolts, I just had to say something.
I think enough comments have been left in this video over the years, don't you? But I do want to add one thing which would have served you well 3 years ago and hopefully, if you read this soon, in years to come. That includes anyone else who reads my comment and has the same issue. 🤔
I'm a plant mechanic, fabricater, welder, and general fix it man for almost 40 years. I've been working on vehicles and machinery similar to that which you work on. I have also come up against identical problems, but the way I dealt with them was not always the same as you have done. I think we both could have worked well together.
Removing bolts is always a tricky task, as you well know. I removed sheared bolts the same way you did, most of the time. Only my pipe was a third of the length you used. Had you cut the pipe down so only 1 to 2 inches was protruding, you would have saved on pipe and found welding and extraction much easier to achieve. A job well done sir, considering the conditions you were working in.
I guess I've watched around 30 of your videos so far and unless I have something constructive to say, that is warented of course, you will not hear from me much but I will give you the thumbs up as you deserve it. Besides, it costs us nothing to click the thumbs-up, does it?👍🤭 🇬🇧
I like your style you’re determined that it ain’t gonna beat you up and that you will get the job done. That makes the real professional. Keep up the good work on the videos I enjoy watching them.
I learned a great tip watching this video. Great job showing that it doesn’t always work on the first try. Thank you for another awesome video.
That was a neat twist on a _broken bolt_ scenario! Loved watching the problem get solved in such a clever fashion and that last one had me on the edge of my seat. Great vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
True master
A lot of people don’t realize how hard that is to do Nice job
Cheers from Nova Scotia
Don't you worry one bit about "video's running too long." I, and I'll bet a great many folks watching, enjoy every last second of your videos.
There is nothing more informative than seeing stuff when it doesn't work the way it's supposed to. That's how morons like me lean best.
I hate videos that only show how things work perfectly. That teaches me nothing.
God bless you and thank you for everything that you do!!!!
I had never seen the welding the pipe on a hidden broken bolt before. Thanks for the education, don't mind long videos
The videos are great and not to long. Reminds of old days working w/ old machinist that always thought out side of the box to get the job done. Freaking awesome!
seeing the whole process adds to the education , something the young needs to learn thanks for sharing
This job would have broken most folks, but not Isaac, what a legend 💪
I have to always deal with little bolts. Bigger ones aren't easier. But i use a piece of copper to protect the hole and build weld up a little at a time. My dad tought me the steel pipe method on the bigger ones years ago. I love it when it works. Like the old saying, if it was easy, everyone would do it! Good job. Great video!
Cutting out the buried end of the broken bolt without messing up the threads is the best torch work I have ever seen.
We use to use that method to remove broken 1 1/4" wheel studs from 930 Komatsue haul truck wheel motors. Success rates were not high as they were torqued in to a blind hole and always broke off 1 1/2 " in the hole. We started usinfpg a cast iron rod from Rockmount Nassua called Brutus. You could reach into the hole and build up the stud the 1 1/2" to where you could weld a nut to it. The slab would run off to the sides so you would have to work hard to fuse the weld to the side of the hole. You but a lot of heat into the bolt this way so if you walked away and let it cool they generally came right out with a bit of back and forth. The weld material had a high tensile strength so a 1/2" impact hit hard and a couple of raps would break the stud loose. You never want to get in a hurry on jobs like this one. Good job.
i used these rods back in the 60s on truck hubs where the studs broke off inside
Yes, let it cool and suck in some of the oil. Do something else for a while.
@@michaelvangundy226 no oil involved in our application just expansion and contraction
Awesome trick. Love your work. A Real man with real talent and skill
Who the hell would even think of giving this video a thumbs down
Or maybe the competition.
People that cannot weld, struggle with most things practical, don't understand what they are watching and don't appreciate what they can learn from this man!
Downvoted it, then went back to the basement to play their video games.
@John Doe What "stupid people in action" are you talking about? Did you come up from Mommy's basement to write that bullshit? Grab another cookie, some milk, and go back to play your video game crap. Same assholes that downvoted it couldn't make their own breakfast let alone fix anything.
The CNC machines, for they know they’ve met their match.
Issac you are the man! I really enjoy watching and learning as I do a lot of welding myself you are full of wisdom and very patient. Thank you for sharing, blue collar guys make the world go round😎
Great tip for the field. Make the videos as long as they need to be. Everybody subbed to your channel loves them. Take care.
Thanks, will do!
My trucks setup different then yours but I work on different things. I'm running the same hoist and a Miller Trailblazer 325 amp. You taught a old dog a new trick. 42 years in the trade.
I watched every minute of it .... Experience and perseverance pays off . Although can be very painful at times but rewarding in the end . You are a man of great talent . I know filming is a added frustration , I would like to Thank you for staying the fight and filming as well .
That was some intricate metal surgery. Much impressed, thanks for posting.
This is what I love about working on site. You have to find a way to get the job done. I learned some new tricks. Thanks keep making the videos.
With all these reality shows today, they don't show how the real work gets done. Just before and after shots.
The struggle is very real! Much Respect!
This is one of my favorite tricks I’ve seen you do. Alice and I both enjoyed this one. Keep them coming Isaac. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Thank you. I'll try👍
I have used a plastic straw on rod to protect from hitting side leaving only the end exposed
A little wrap of electrical tape works too.
good idea
@EZ Z that was my thought. He’s got a bandsaw and much as guys like to brag about the length of their pipe, chopping it in half would have probably made it easier to angle inside that blind tube.
I sure hope you have a family member wanting to follow in your footsteps or an apprentice, your passing down tried and true first hand field knowledge on what works, or should work and repairs that didnt go as planned, but lessons were learned for next time. Great videos, they could be 2 hours and I’d still watch them.
Great trick, been welding 40 years and haven’t seen that one. Great videos, keep them coming,!
Thanks 👍
Great video... I've been a Field service tech for 25 years on equipment and have never seen the pipe trick. I will keep this trick in my arsenal of how too's. I've removed many broken bolts but never seen it done like that. Thanks for sharing.
I like to see these kind of videos because they show the TIPS and TRICKS on how to get the JOB DONE. GREAT VIDEO....
Real time working with associated problems,not slow at all good work sir outstanding 👍🏻🇬🇧
My Dad once told me if your ever faced with a seemingly impossible task, Call a welder. Good job!
I won't forget that trick! Thanks. I didn't think it would work because the torque it took to break those bolts in the first place, would be substantially greater than what you could apply with your technique.
Thanks for the top notch content!! Im watching your videos like an apprentice and finding so many useful tips. You are killing it with the composition in your photos and videos, thanks again
Never I a million years would I have thought of that, well played!
I tried this little trick last week on some excavator drive sprocket bolts. But I failed, the pipe was 2 lite and I used a wire feed. Thanks 4 showing the right way.
Good idea. I will be doing the same to a tractor soon. Sheared 2 bolts flush with frame. Great video thanks!
I dig it! Great trick with the pipe, thanks for sharing that. It’s refreshing to see videos that are realistic rather than edited to portray some fantasy world where everything is easy and everything works first time.
Keep it up man. Your doing well with your channel it will grow like crazy with a little time. Got skills to pay the bills.
Excellent job and good trick! I have used bolts many times in a pinch to chase a thread and clean it up. I use a file with a sharp edge where it meets the curve (half-round). This allows for an under cut on the leading edge that mimics rake angle. I usually cut 4 to 6 flutes, size dependent.
It’s never easy! there’s always that one that makes you work for it!! Just went thru this yesterday on broken exhaust manifold bolts.
I learn so much from you. Thank you for all of your work and ability to share it.
Best welding channel on YT 👍👍👍
hi buddy, from Prince George Canada, I`m an old disabled field welder mechanic and have done near a hundred of these over the years, once the bolt is broken there is no torque left to overcome. The trick to making this a bit easier is to use the largest pipe that fits easy in the hole so you have more room to move the end of rod, also i noticed the first thing you did was use to long a pipe because this limits the amount of room for you to move the end of the welding rod around. So only a couple of inches of pipe past the hole and try to arc on the bottom side of pipe first to float the flux, and yes use a high heat. I always then weld a nut on top, fro a ratchet or wrench. for bolts broken flush i like to weld a washer onto the bolt {like a very short pipe" and the flat washer is welded from inside so one that just covers inside diameter, and then a nut that is small enuff to easy welding on at least 3 flats
would it be better to use a 6010 ?
@@rldoyle5705 Definitely...or 7010
Well done I have used that technique a few times with 50/50 success Im glad you got it.
That has GOT to be one of the slickest tricks I've seen used in a long time! Love the videos, don't worry about the length of them...makes the whole thing seem 'real' instead of someone who's barely turned a wrench or laid a bead making it look like they got it done in 12-seconds (which we KNOW never happens!). Thumbs up, AND subscribed!
You are the real deal a good fitter / welder the guy that has his own truck
I like the pipe trick. I use a wire feed welder to reword nuts on broken bolts. I love that trick. I’ll have to remember the pipe for bolts broken off in a hole. Thank you.
Just a hunch, but my guess is the guy nearby watching was the one that broke the bolts and the easy-out. Great video, you got skills.
Or maybe his helper. The ones who probably dickered the bolts is at home having a cold beer while real men unfuck the job.
@@Mikey-ym6ok Sounds about right. People fuck things up and then call for "the fixer".
@michael smith helper??? Dude didnt do shit. Needs to be fired if that's what you can a helper
@@jacobsoto5451 I have a helper. She doesn't help with the work for shit. Mainly she's there as a walking and talking sticky note, but she's someone to shoot the shit for a couple minutes every now and again. Mainly keeps morale up, and keeps the production value up.
Before you even end up in this situation - what is the best preparation you can do to loosen up the bolt ?
My thought an air chisel (large) or even a rivet hammer could loosen the bolt enough to get it going.
This kind of video showing problem solving is never too long winded.
Its always a pleasure watching a pro at work, thanks for sharing!
VERY PROFESSIONAL. YOUR ONE THE BEST WELDERS I,VE EVER SEEN AND I,VE SEEN A BUNCH WORKING FOR US STEEL IN GARY , INDIANA.
Thanks man. too kind!
Just had to sub,love watching a real life master at work,and humble with it. Whats not to love? Even shows his ‘ mistakes’ for our benefit. I use inverted comments,because in this line of work there are few mistakes,only learning opportunities,and IC is happy to share these nuggets with us. Reminds me of watching my bro at work,never beaten by anything,just another challenge to figure out. So therapeutic to watch with coffeee in hand,not having the huge pressure of really being on site,and having to git her done. Guys like this keep the world turning,balanced on a shittyl ladder with a generator roaring in one ear. Total respect here.
thanks man
I’m addicted to your videos. Have you ever tried using ceramic coated rods? They work in steel as well as aluminum without harming the surrounding metal. I can get one of those broken studs in less than five minutes.
Luv this guy. Luv his casual attitude like these jobs are nothing. It would take me a week to pull this bolts.👍
Thanks again for another technique to repair broken bolts.
It looks like they need some kind of weldment with plug holes to go to the base to support the shear loading.
That is why a lot of cantilever decks on buildings fail from shear loading.
awesome video, seeing how to resolve an issue like this, and the reality of getting it to work out. patience for the win!
Absolutely one of the best welding plans I have ever seen. I feel like I need to send you a check for teaching me that trick.👍
Deal!
Amazing and very interesting to see how you managed to remove those broken off bolts. Bravo sir, Bravo. Thumbs Up!
Much respect to you. SIR. Thank you for taking us along. Cheers
Lots of respect, never seen that trick of removing a broken bolt, great job and video.👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nicely done 👍🏻
It's nice when people try to help. As they can hand you tool's which saves you moving and saves time.
4.3K+👍's up IC Weld thanks again for taking us to work with you for the day
You sir are a true craftsman. I learned something new again watching your videos. thank you sir.
Every time I watch your videos I learn something. Cool technique.
If I ever try this, I think I'll try a stupid amount of amps. Like make the rod glow right through the flux kind of amps. Don't know if it would work any better that way but can always back off the amps.
Yeah, i should have turned it up a few more but mehh. It worked.
now that is slick... I will use that one, thanks for showing the struggle too, thanks very much.
Neat trick with welding the pipe to the broken bolts! You're a braver man that I. I would have been fearful that I'd booger up the entire bolt hole if I tried to torch the bolt out like you did. Great work, man!
Issac is the master of the Oxy torch.
When a trick works it's great. When it fails on camera till it works it's great for your audience to see.
Fantastic stuff, and for my enjoyment a job in my world of boat related stuff.
Thanks
That was Great, showing the close ups of the holes in progress , GREAT job 😃😃😃
I’ve had some that were so bad they would have to call a machinist to drill it out! You’re good enough to try it brother, there’s a lot out there that couldn’t do it! Good job
I have a neat trick to remove broken bolts and when that turns to ratshit I have 3 more tricks up my sleeve. Whatever happens, that sucker is coming out. Great work Sir.
I must say up front I will be amazed if this stick welding a pipe trick works. Well I'll be damned you sir have talent , technique, and good ideas.
That is awesome, I'll remember that for next time I need to Reistract a bolt out. Job well done sir.
Very cool trick. definitely keeping this in the pocket for the next broken bolt.
It would seem a dedicated tool could be made for this.
Issac I got off social media over a year ago. So glad to find your page. I was missing your content
I've never seen this before. I have a thought.😳 If a person had a few threads to work with, you could use a replacement bolt. Drill hole clean through bolt, screw it in, drill about half inch or so into broken bolt. Reach through bolt like you did pipe and plug weld it out a bit. It would assure you don't weld pipe to thread. Just a thought. Absolutely awesome video. Never too long. I'm always learning.
Thank you, Great video, not many people would share such a valuable technique. Glad you did.
I have never seen this method.. Genius!
These kind of videos I like they show real world what it takes to get the job done and what people like you and others have to do to get the job done
