Always loved watching this process. During my apprenticeship at Tilbury Power Station there was a large crack found in one of our 60mw turbine steam chests. The top was removed and a pair of contractors came in to carry out the repair. I spent some time watching them and was really impressed. They said that they repaired a whole range of castings and showed me a ship’s propeller they’d stitched together. This was early1964.

I have just carried out two of these repairs on frost damaged vintage car engines. Both customers very very happy,so then so am I!. I pressure tested blocks after repair,perfect,not a bubble after hours of testing. Maybe some consider an expensive repair but try finding a cylinder block for a 1930,s Rolls Royce or a 1941 Alvis!. As an asides, it is a very satisfying process to carry out as an engineer. It's a neat and tidy start to finish job with a high level of personal satisfaction of a job well done, interesting to do and gets a brilliant reaction from customers! Makes you feel a little bit elite? A chance to show off what you can do and do very well?. It's the "yeah,I did that" feeling.

I can see it being used on something like that, or something that would be a couple 20 thousand dollars to replace. It looked like a section of boiler for home heating. That's why I question the time and cost. The labor to disassemble and reassemble a home boiler, in my opinion is wasted. I built my 1st boiler at 21 had to read all the directions, the 30 year old guys had never done it. It was great experience, freaking bull work, the sections we were told 280lbs each & there were 5. That 1 took me & 2 others, two and a half days. Back then about $2,500. That was 85. I have gotten much faster, probably did a half dozen over the years, most homes in my area have smaller boilers that are what they call package boilers. Anyway I got much faster, and today if I was still working. I would read the instructions on my time off probably online, just a quick brush up to speed things up. So today i would think i can disassemble one with interest in reassembling it in say 1/2 a day. Still need 2 guys. Then a whole day to reassemble it. Todays labor in the ballpark of $2,500. I would never do the weld. How much would would a new boiler be, and up to what % of the cost are you willing to spend on a used unit? It would be different for DIY's when you don't run a P&L sheet afterwards. The weld itself has to take half a day or more, depending on size. All those holes you have to hold the jig in place, you CAN'T make the hole off at all or the system will not work, everything has to be perfect, it has to be time consuming. An irreplaceable car engine, absolutely. A regular car engine, in my opinion absolutely not. Just not economically sound for me. I also have in my mind that what I'm fixing has a chance of happening again in a different location, because the whole piece has been under the same conditions for the same amount of time.

I was lucky enough to work in a house that had 5 old RR with running boards and that freaking beach ball headlights.. Some were taken apart because someone likes putzing with them. I so bad wanted to jump on the running boards and have a picture taken carrying a tommygun. I didn't do it, at that time i was just married my 2nd wife, i was so happy life was great i got out of control to the tune of 360lbs. I just looked at the cars and imagined.

Dennis Faugh I totally agree. I have used eutectic arc rods, high nickel TIG rods etc and ,like you said,you can get good results a lot of the time,but never all of the time. I have tried many of the different adhesives,fillers and epoxies and had much the same results. The best thing is that using lock and stitch I can guarantee every job. I don't find it tedious,quite the opposite. It feels good to use old fashioned fitting skills that were perfected as an apprentice and putting them to use. At the end of the job you can look at it and you know the job is a good one!

In which field of application would the need for this exist? Like in what types of machines are steel variants used that are unwelable?

Awesome video, your hands look familiar. My coworkers always wear gloves, nitrile or leather, but I always end up tearing them off. I need to feel the work. 🤷♂️ That glue must be something else.

Never really done any machining work or anything of the sort in my life. I really do enjoy watching stuff like this though, very interesting. The drilling jigs really make this look pretty idiot proof.

I knew that carpenters like to use bowtie shaped keys to lock cracks together, but I never knew a similar method existed for metal. Is it done on regular cars today still or rather on industrial equipment?

i wonder if dropping the locks in the freezer would help aid the interference fitment.
