What I really enjoy about these videos is that Isaac shows us what real world field repairs are like. I’m sure there is the “book” way to do these things but that is usually not the best, or most profitable, way. Isaac is the real deal! Keep up the good work!

I just wanna say on the behalf of all the subscribers. Thank you, there are many welders on KZfaq. But not one who teaches as much and you do you, or explains as much. And shows different skills like you do most weldtubers Just do work and take us along for the ride. I learn and pick up skills When I watch your videos and I very much appreciate it.

I still use plasma cutting and torch cutting tricks at work that I've seen you do. I cut a lot of liftgates off trailers and learning to see that weld line has saved me a lot of time in the final prep not having to fill in holes I cut accidentally. I wish there were more people who took pride in their work like you, hard to find good help these days.

Thank you for not putting background music on your videos. Your lack of negative comments and clean vocabulary are something to be proud of. Not a welder myself but I enjoy watching others do what they do.

The Leonardo Da Vinci of the welding world. Very tidy job Isaac.

Isaac, this video had everything - your verbal failure diagnosis and repair plan, and then some of your amazing torch work. But when you started trying to bridge that huge gap, the weld looked so bumpy and uneven. I know a bunch of us doubted you could pull off the repair. But then you struck another arc and passed your hand over the repair and humbled us all with your skills. It was like a movie script, Isaac, like in a movie. And you topped it off introducing a couple of new tools that sent us scambling for our welding supply catalogs. Perfection, Isaac! 😎😎😎

Don't know how you did it, but that weld looked fantastic! Great work!

One of my all time favorite channels. I love the quarry shit cuz that’s my roots

There are so few talented men in the world that are also capable of being great teachers, you are a blessing to this community. Thank you for all that you do.

Not every joint is gonna be perfect like in school. I've had to close up the grand canyon with tig and stick many a times. Excellent work my friend, my torch handling skills have improved dramatically by watching your videos.

Your videos should be shown in every welding trade school! Great real world situations. 👍👍

That top cap pass came out SWEEEET! Looks completely factory!👍

You are a true master...I love the way you are so humble and I don't think I've ever heard you sware in a video yet....always professional

I spent my share of time on a 90lb jackhammer, both on floors and vertical walls. Thanks to the man that designed the hydraulic monster.

That worked out just fine… sometimes you have to do what you have to do. The weld is still solid and not likely to break. Good job Isaac!

I like that you show how "not" to do it... guys like me don't always have the choice of making from scratch, sometimes ya gotta make it work with what you have, rather then what you want.

Beautiful video, thanks. You are a true master welder and repair man. Welders around the world watch your videos and learn a lot from you.

Great work, IC, customer should be happy about that repair

I really have lot of respect for your abilities. Doing this in the environment you are in makes these repairs tough and you make it look so easy. You're killing it.

Been watching your videos for a few years. Born and raise metal fabricator like my dad for 30 years. I have to say you are a master of your craft . Keep up the good work.👍

Hello, new subscriber here. I’m a weld student of IVY Tech NW IN 1987. I still occasionally weld, I love watching someone of your experience level. You are very skilled, weld on my brother! 😎👍

As a 50 something yr old self taught welder/blob and grinder(mostly to fix Arborist company equiptment-my business before I retired) I have to say I learn something every time I watch these job vid's. The Internet was built for those with knowledge and experience to help those without - it's amazing. Thanks for the great content!

When people tell you it isn't supposed to be done that way, it's because they don't know how to don't that way. I learn something every time I watch your videos.

Good job Isaac! Almost like you know what you're doing!

Thank you for showing us how to do repairs - i have started to do more with my welder because of your recommendations.

I must say I had never used an air arc pryor to watching your videos. Being able to pick one up at a job I was on I had it down in 5mins. Thanks for your priceless knowledge and helping teach us the ways of a true Old School tradesmen!

I made a shop repair of a conrete boom turret section, and your videos were my reference when ever the "engineers" specefications were rediculous and wouldn't work. So when I hit it with the mag partical and saw no cracks, I thought Torch Norris would be proud. Well, not of my gouging and cutting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I seen the shorts and i did enjoy seeing the work portions but i didnt catch the actual video of the full repair. No matter im not going elsewhere.

As an old farm boy that had to fix everything we broke, we'll this could have helped back then lol. You show things I missed. Well I still break things so here's to learning something new to try. Great job.

Nice job as always Isaac! I can’t say I would have done it any different myself! Your experience and professionalism is next level.

Seeing this get repaired made me lol. We have a few of these at my work and i think all of them have been repaired multiple times.

Another thing about these types of repairs is, often the client wants to spend as little money as possible. Of course you could make it new, especially in the shop, but that's downtime, money, and labor. $$$ As expensive as some of these machines can be they're not all restoration candidates.

The folks in your area are lucky to have a great craftsman available!

My friend says he is CDO….. that is OCD but in alphabetical order! Great video, great job!

These videos are always nice showing how to effect competent repairs without overthinking the problem and executing the repair with basic tools. They simply don't teach this stuff in school. P.S. I've been using one of those aluminum speed squares for welding for years. Every welder should have one.

Thanks for the excellent discussion about reusing vs. replacing and the tutorial on how to do it. That is very useful. I have been using Pica pencils and pens for 15 years and am really satisfied with them.

Good to see a beginner getting some work. Stick to it and you're gonna go places!

These videos remind me of my training decades ago. My instructor was an old and wise fella (no offence meant with the age thing!) and honestly some of those things he'd show me have remained good and true to this day.

Wish I had of met you while I was living in Austin. You and Curtis are what I watch when I need to relax, chill and learn something new. Keep up the great work!

You know Isaac you show the world that with a little common sense there is always a different ways to do things and have a good outcome. Thank You! I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos as I am sure there are a lot of guys out there doing the same. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next project.

This young fella uses a torch like an artist uses a brush!

WOW, another masterful repair from the master himself. Thanks for posting Isaac and take care! People who say that is the wrong way are typically in academia and can't apply logic to anything in the real world. Therefore they decide to teach something they don't know how to use!

Great job Isaac 👍 I'm glad you did that video most people don't know what welders do they fix things that break and repair them we don't always have the luxury of putting brand-new parts on that's why we're called welders.

Sir, You impress me with your knowledge and skills. Boe

Do viewers comment on how you should do things differently? Oh yeah this is youtube, were experts come to correct the professionals! Keep on getting it fixed brother!

Isaac, I recall projects where you had to think outside of the box!! Really great review where that rule applies. Thanks for letting us look over shoulder and Learn to think outside of the box. Keep showing and we will keep learning.

Awesome job! Thanks for having us along.

The end goal is make that weld so strong. It will extra hard for the workers to rip it off. You did that and more. Great job with the metal glue.

Work of art there issac you really did amazing job and that is probably gonna be a hard press for them to break that off but I don’t put anything past anybody anymore !!!

Always learn something from your videos. Thanks for sharing!

Looks Great! Never doubted you for a minute!

Issac Thanks to you showing all the different ways and methods I have learned so much..

It always nice to see a Texas boy doing what I would call one of the best welders and fabricators I have ever seen I am a Texas boy myself raised on in the oil field of 50 years seen a lot of welders in my time but by far you and Curtis from Curtis from cutting edge top 2 in my books like watching you do what you do thanks for sharing

I use my Pica pencil daily at work and at the wood lathe at home, the interchangeable colored leads are very good. I would highly recommend it to wood and metal workers.

Yep just another quality repair from the goat! Awsome brother

Have you ever done any overlay on Trey Towers in refineries you go in there and you weld for days on end that dual Shield flux core yeah that's making metal thicker for those of you that don't know build up like he was doing here there's no Orthodox the way to do it and I'm going to guarantee I've spent my whole welding career trying to master the build-up bridging two pieces of metal together however you call it good job bro good job

An impromptu field repair executed by a skilled welder usually yields better results than the controlled environment factory joint. Awesome as always Dude!!!

Good work of the master of torch as usually!

His torch work is amazing. Always learn something new

Excellent teaching video Isaac. Thank you for taking the time to show us.

Thank you for taking the time to video all this work and explaining what and why you are doing it the way you do.

Looks great to me! I couldn't help but chuckle when you were lining it up at first and it was hot and kept waving your fingers. Been there done that. My Dr. put me on some new medicine for my tremors and I might try some test welding tomorrow. The new medicine has relaxed me a lot and if I set still too long I go into nap mode. Getting old sucks, but I know the alternative!

Thanks so much. The repair is better than the original. Looks better too !

You are an absolute artist with the cutting torch!

That was a fantastic repair and a clean neat look , job well done Issac

Great job I really have learned a lot from watching you work hard thanks keep them coming

I have seen a few nice welds, but that is the icing on the cake! I have a suspicion, that someone was trolling someone lol.

Good job as always!! Maybe on the next video you can show us that crane you use for lifting these parts seems to be a very useful tool in your shop.

You are a master in your craft. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

God given talent and even better teacher at explaining wow !❤️🇨🇦

Just Keep Making your Videos. I learn something everytime. Thank you

Isaac thank you so much for the videos I enjoy every minute and learning

That was another one of your great repairs

Top shelf as always Issac.

That weld looks really good. Good job!

You're an artist! Thanks for the video!

Been a while since you posted. I hope you're doing well. It's always a treat to watch you work!

So glad you got the rain on video! I remember where I was right then. :) Loved that you elected to save the piece and reattach it - better than it ever was!

"Not bad for a rookie!" says THE Master Welder with a deprecating laugh!

Nice work! Quick and dirty. I practice sometimes too this method and works well.

Great video as always a pleasure to watch. Out in the field decisions have to be made, your assessment of the job and the plan of action is always second to none. As my Dad used to say to me if a jobs worth doing then do it properly and you do. Thanks for the time you put in. Paul UK

Good stuff dude. Very professional product.

Thank you Isaac. That weld looks really good. I am pulling firewood out of my wood lot. Hot work .😊

I sure do enjoy your videos.

27:45 "Not bad for a rookie" 😀 Thank you for sharing another great video. What workmanship that was!

Isaac says: "Create plate". Very well stated!

Nice work, Isaac!

Phenomenal welding skills, if you ask me. (David, Texas, USA)

Yeah, brother! I wish we got some of that up here in Liberty county.

Beautiful welding as always. Real pro finishing 😃😃

Well another great training video and you’re still one of the best with a cutting torch and I’ve seen a lot of them over the years. That new pencil/ marker that you are trying out is the same one I’ve been using lately and I quite like it, good work buddy, keep it up 👍

You are always the best..thank you

Wonderfull work Isacc, almost looks like you poured it in.

Hi ! For me it's more strong that the original version ! Congratulations !!!!

Another great job,thank you for sharing,i. Lear a lot 👍👍👍👍always a pleasure watch your video

Turned out nice n clean... great job

I learned that you know what you are doing. That looks good.

That's a real nice glue job.

nice arc shots, that was cool.

Beautiful work, as always. BTW, I have that same pencil. I do more woodwork than metal and use it for that and really like it.
