My dad was a welder, I was a welder my grandson is a welder and I have been around welders and iron workers all my life. My eyes sorta left me as did the trade a few years ago. I miss it. Said all that to say this. Probably the best rod burner and technique I have ever seen. Makes me want to be young again and start all over

I make no distinction between what you do and what a virtuoso musician does, both take years and years of dedication and practice, both are an absolute joy to watch and hear and I will never be as 1/100th as good as either!!! You are a true master. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

Watching a craftsman craft at a high level is amazing. My man is making clean cuts and stacking dimes in the middle of service yards and equipment operation areas.

I'm not a welder, will probably never weld something, but I love your videos! People who are good at their craft make it look easy (but I know it isn't).

As the saying goes, “That’s not going anywhere!” I really like those torch-holding machines. They provide a beautiful cut.

I am a self taught scrap welder of 8 decade of age and you sir are a champion of your craft so pleased to watch your work. You would be surprised to know that I have picked up a lot of tips from you . thanks so much

This is a man who is willing to pass down the knowledge he has to all of us and honestly there are not too many men like him out there, so thank you sir for these tips they sure will come in handy.

I’m 25 and have had my rig for 8 months. Just started gouging thanks to watching You. One of the only Gus in the area who does it now. Thank you!

If you do this everyday in a production environment it is relaxing to watch someone that gets variety. Watching someone that does it well makes it even better. My crew is working right now and it is 15 degrees and falling all cutting, welding, gouging and grinding. Three of us are sitting in a unheated construction trailer on a break watching you on KZfaq, I have to say nice repair lol.

VERY well done. Where were these videos, when I was learning to weld ? It took years to teach myself. I was pretty good, but you guys today have taken the trade to a new level. Your videos give me a new respect for rig welders. Keep up the good work and train the world. We are all watching. Thnx.

Those cuts are like machined surfaces, it does not get any better than that. A truly skilled man, with great humility. Stay safe I.C.

How is that level of finesse even possible, just wow, no wonder the customer was happy, he’s blessed to have found you 🙏

I have worked for and with some good fabricators, later took a few semesters of welding at a community College (mainly to get access to the welding shop and toys for my own projects! Taught myself how to TIG there lol), read the books, watched lots of videos, and somehow after 25 years, today was the first time I heard about making sure the oxygen spike was longer than the metal is thick... I used and ignored pressure charts for tip size and metal thickness, but this is like an earth shattering piece of wisdom that just makes sense! Lol Thank you!

Always find it amazing how precise & surgical the air-arc gouging is. Have seen other videos that use that technique for removing material around a weld & find it quite impressive. The track cutter is another nice piece to have at your disposal.

Your attention to detail is what sets you apart from many welder fabricators out there!

I remember making cuts like this with a rail torch years ago in my boiler making days it was always so satisfying .....I always love to watch you work brings back great memories for me and the quality you put into your work is wonderful. I enjoy your videos short or long either way is ok with me just enjoy watching you work and the different projects are always cool. I don't know what I would do without your channel thank you for all your video's !!👍👍

It's always a pleasure to watch a master of their profession.

DUDE!!!! I love this style of video. I just really enjoy hearing your in sights about whats going on and why you did a thing. Even when there is a mess up, you show it.

I am a 30 plus year industrial fabricator/welder. Running my own small mobile and shop company. Thankful that I was taught by true mature craftsman such as yourself. I take pride in doing a job well. But watching your videos. I sometimes wonder if I know anything at all. Please keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing. When I see that kind of metal fatigue I think about the other people on the road. That crack could have been gouged and welded before It got that bad. I really appreciate seeing your work.

I do like how you take something that some people would make into a complicated situation and you break it down and make it simple and easy to understand.

In my opinion one of your best videos on your torch work and explaining how you achieved the results.

Super slick cutting! That was another prime example of your step-by-step methodology of repairing a very complicated piece of equipment. Nice job!

I’ve tried to figure out why I love and look forward to your uploads so much and I guess it always comes back to your skills knowledge and everything done in a calm never rushed and very professional manner. Watching you use the gas axe or torch is how I imagine watching some of the masters paint like Da Vinci, Rembrandt or Michelangelo. What you do is just like art but to a standard very few will ever achieve. Your son is real luck because he’s getting learn and work with one of the very best. Take care my friend.

Great video I used a traveling torch back in the early 70s at the coal mine I worked at they sure are helpful when cutting a lot of heavy metal accurate you do a great job it takes me back to my repairing mine equipment days I spend a lifetime in a coal mine and I'm paying dear for it these days after five spinal surgeries and a back full of titanium you stay safe and keep up that high caliber work

That was some brilliant work! I've yet to flame cut past 1". I thought it was very cool to see you get excited over how well that radius came out. It's pleasing to see that even someone of your expertise still gets a thrill with a job well done. And in this instance, beautifully done! Thanks for posting this and congratulations on a great job!

Beautiful work! Pure magic.

As usual, really a great job!!!! Using the tractor torch arm to burn the curve is something I've never seen before. and I've been around the work a very long time... It still requires your skill in torch set up, and a very steady, experienced hand on the torch feed... As I've said before, I 've never a craftsman as skilled and creative on the burning side... I'll bet the customer was really happy, now hopefully the other side won't break...!!!

I'm a hobbyists welder, nothing fancy or big, but I always learn something from your videos than I can apply to my projects. Greetings from Mexico!!!

There's a lot of force on those ears from every direction it's amazing they last as long as they do especially in construction and off-road environments. Nice repair

I repaired three of these tabs on three different trailers for one oilfield outfit. What was causing the breakage was the fact that the drivers were not making sure that the vertical bearing surface was clean. All three of these trailers had mud packing in on the vertical surface so that when the pins locked in and the trailer was lifted the mud acted like a shim and put additional loading on the tab. I showed the owner this and explained it to him and he was a tad pissed. All of the drivers were told that if they broke another tab and there was mud packed in that they might as well just pack up and get gone. His exact words were dust and tail lights guys, dust and tail lights. Strangely enough, they never broke another tab. Good work by the way. There are so many that don't know how to use a torch properly.

Can always tell when a man takes pride in his work takes pride in himself nice work

What amazing work. Thanks for bringing us along.

Looks like a precision craftsmanship job. This is one of the reasons I enjoy your channel.

Turned out great! Thank you for your time again!!!

I worked at a steel mill as a welder and was fortunate enough to have a track torch, miss that job sometimes….a lot of teeth shanks on loaders and crop car repairs. Good job sir

You can say it's just experience, but dude you got some talent. Always very impressed

Master Craftsman! Always a pleasure to see your work! Thank you for sharing and teaching!

I really enjoy watching your videos and learning. The work you do is quality craftsmanship. I'm glad you're passing your knowledge along. Thank you.

I learned that i do not know much compared to this maestro with his sparks and smoke. Well done!

Great job! I like the torch tip cleaner trick to find the angle. You are a fountain of knowledge!!

Amazing cut work. You absolutely humble me as an old welder that I am . Your equipment is amazing

Beautiful work I have two brothers that are blacksmith / fabricators and two sons that are fabricators that have done pipe work in powerhouses ,,, definitely sweet bit of welding ,,

VERY nice work. Cool tools !!

Always a pleasure to watch your work. Great insight into heavy metalwork.

It's always a pleasure watching a master at work. You may have a track cutter, but it still takes a heck of a lot of knowledge to use it and get those kinds of results. Thanks for sharing.

This man can do everything. Love your videos as I am a beginning weldor. Thank you bro.

I had you as a mentor back in my younger years I sherry be a better fitter/welder thanks, brother for you being you.

After 43 years doing what you do You are way better than I have ever been. Just a hint, When piercing metal with a torch I have always drilled a 1/4" hole just inside cut line. Torch will flow thru hole and give you a clean start instead of piercing and making a lot of cutting slag on top.

Once again a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, thank you.

I really like these videos where you talk through what you’re doing. I know they take more time to make but they’re well worth it to me. Really excellent!

Impressive. Just to remove the damaged piece to clean parent metal took skill. Fillet weld looked like stacked dimes. You are one talented metal worker and welder.

Maestro definitivamente con cada vídeo que comparte es muchísimo lo que se aprende 🦾 mil gracias desde Colombia

As always great craftsmanship

Wow, very interesting process. I like the speciality automated tools for cutting the plate steel.

Great video !! Another great repair !! 😊

Man, that is one heck of a joy to watch. Magnificent!

Very Good! Coping the pin placement was a good idea. Good to see which ideas work. About 50 yrs ago I used a hand camp on for cutting a circle. I don't make a good spectator.

That repair looks nice, Isaac. Thanks for the welding tips.

Sometimes it's finesse that's required , which you apparently have in abundance , other times it's Tanya's moment to shine . She may not be worth her weight in gold but she earns her keep. Brilliant as always especially working on that 2" slab of steel.

You are an absolute master of your trade. You are an artist. Love your videos.

Very nice work as usual. Thanks for talking us through the step by step process.

Mighty fine work there! God Bless!

Great video Isaac! You always make it look so easy. It is such a pleasure to watch you weld and cut, etc. Thanks for sharing!

I dig your video styles so much, not every video/project is a 1hr long video of the same stuff. Your slideshow videos are great, your mentor videos with your new Apprentice are superb. The jobsite videos super realistic. The at home in the garage videos are relaxed and I usually enjoy my breakfast with those. Imma life time subscriber since before 10k. *Cheers

The trick with the tip cleaner was a neat nugget of knowledge to absorb. Thanks for sharing that with us!

Never get tired of watching skill.

The way you set up your burning gear is like witchcraft! The cuts are so clean every time!!! Love watching your videos and getting tips to use in my shop! Keep them coming

Such a steady hand Exceptional muscle memory Respect !

Very interesting watching you. When the job is finished it looks a top notch job. Looks better than new. Thanks

As always thank you for taking the time to teach just a bit of your wealth of knowledge. Worked for a gas pipeline company for years, so welders we’re willing to share knowledge and more use to I had to learn the hard way why should I help you. Never understood that attitude but whatever.

So great. Love everything you do. God Bless Isaac

Another professional class brought to us from Professor Isaac

You are a true artist. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for the content.

U.K. welder here!!! Your welding and Fabbing is amazing!!! Love watching your stuff!!!!!!

love the vid! love learning new stuff!! having pulled a trailer that had that connection type that hauled 75tons, im shocked that the factory welds are so minimal and yet get the job done! wow!

Another beautiful job Isaac. Looking forward to next vids.

Such a professional, great work.

Customer was happy and job looks great!

A great tradesman doing a job with great skill. My hat tip to you Sir!

Your a wizard with a torch! Darn impressive job.

Been learning from all your work. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

I'ma welder 81 yrs young and I used that same track torch cuting machine in 1967 and it was great as the track could very up and down a little and still cut perfect I haven't seen one in a while good job, Jim las vegas nv

Always makes my day when you post. Thanks for the video.

Love them track torch good job

Very nice work, a master at work and great fabrication.

Issac great repair. In my other life I was a heavy haul driver. We had a Talbert trailer bust the pin on a road in NYC. Took a week to get it fixed. Boy there was some pissed of Commuters.

Watching your fabrication skills amazes me. Thank you, your videos are top shelf.

Old school Cool! Was using the same trolley cutter this week,excavator bucket repair. 👍

I've been welding for 41 years and I could feel the burns while you were gouging. Nice work and I like the way that Hobart wire looks.

A master at his craft.

That was an amazing piece of work

Amazing torch work for being out in the field , you a master with the cutting torc

When you love the work you do it is a passion unparrelled

Nice repair Isaac!👍🏼👍🏼😀

Great work glad to see it, gave me some ideas for my future cutting edge replacement project!

It finally happened. Today's video shows that with the proper "modern tools" you truly can do anything with nothing in no time at all. You are simply the greatest in The Good Old USA! Thanks for the videos.

I agree with the admirers of this professional work!!

Excellent work as per usual Thanks for sharing

Just love your work always a treat to watch and always alot to learn thank you
