    Black soot from the oxy acetylene torch can be used to keep spatter off the cylinder too instead of the thin flashing you used. Pretty cool when someone showed me.

      I've never seen that 1 before. I might try it out 1 day

    Another great repair done. It won't be to long before the word gets around and you will have cornered the repair market in your area !

    Nice repair! Did you torch cut or arc gouge the bevel? Seems like keeping it square while welding would be the most difficult part- Thanks

      Thank you. I arc gouged it to save on acetyline. Keeping it square really wasn't that hard. I just extended the ram until it bottomed out flat on the flat spot, tacked it all up, and poured the rod to it

    Nice in field repair. Bet it out lasts the machine. Great Job!

      Thank you and thank you for watching. I figure it'll get them by at least until they finish destroying the rest of the ram. Lol

    You do great work, but if you want to run with the big dogs like ICWeld, and get the subs and clicks, you are going to have to show more welding and gouging shots. That's what the viewers want. Doing the work off camera doesn't cut it.

    • @NAWeldingandFab
      @NAWeldingandFab  Před rokem

      I'm not set up for arc shots, but my newer videos do show me actually doing the work. That's why they're so long. Still editing the truck build video series, but once it's done, I've got more detailed repair welding videos coming. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching

    Personally I would have turned that job down. That is not how you properly repair the eye on a cylinder rod. To do that job correctly, the cylinder should have been dismantled. The end of the rod should have been cleaned up on a lathe and both the rod and the rod end Magnafluxed to check for stress cracks. I wouldn't trust that repair and I've been a welder for over 50 years.

    • @NAWeldingandFab
      @NAWeldingandFab  Před rokem +3

      It aint my first one and won't be my last. None of the others have broken yet and some of those are from over 10 years ago. I agree to make it the prettiest it needed to be done on a lathe, but the way I do my stuff works just fine. Also, a good amount of heat will show any other cracks to the eye that's looking for them. There weren't any other cracks.

      Turning work down is how you loose work. You gotta understand that a lot of clients just need stuff fixed right where it is, as is and they're not willing to put the time and money into perfectly repairing something. He probably did the best repair one can do without removing the whole cylinder and dismantling it.

      @@JTwelder. true and in this particular case, fancy pants processes like magnafluxing for cracks and dismantling the cylinder weren't really necessary as the obvious cause for the failure was a bad weld filled with trash and porosity.
