Hey guys. Thought I'd upload another video a bit early since a big part of the country is frozen this week. May as well give you guys an early start to what I was originally going to post next week. Hope you guys dig it. This weeks video is of some pretty serious cracks on a Soilmec Foundation Drill Rig track frame. Not the best, not the worst but its done. Field repairs always present challenges that one has to overcome. In this case it was lack of space. Work has been a little slow due to the current pandemic so I may try and space these videos out to every two weeks or so. I don't want to run out of material too soon. This was filmed earlier in the year before I had my auto darkening lens to show you the actual welding. Sorry about that. I have a few more coming up like that. ( just forewarning you) haha. Either way, Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy the video.

    I have never seen a welder stay as calm as you do. You're a credit to your craft and thanks for sharing what you do.

    Definitely not easy laying on your back and side and getting those jobs done as well as you do. You make it looks easy Issac! Learned a few techniques from ya! Keep up the good work. Your channel is doing great! 👊🏻

    The customer would have to turn that machine upside down to get me to even consider doing that job😂. Nothing but respect for you, Sir.

    I find it amazing that you understand and help us understand the metal you repair and the theory of crack elimination through gouging and welding. Others pass over it and assume we may understand it. Thank you for your allowing us to watch you work miracles.

    This guy is much calmer than most people I’ve worked with. I’ve worked with people who when they do these repairs their cursing all day and throwing stuff.
  • @Mrjcamp48
    When the slag pops off like a smashed toenail, that’s a great weld.
  • @JoeJalopy
    It's not only the coolness of the videography, craftsmanship and knowledge. It is your calm, professional attitude and focus on the task!
  • I know it's tough working as hard as you do and making a video while doing it, but I sure enjoy watching a master craftsman at work. Thanks.

    Pipeline welders: " man I hate vertical and uphill " Issac: " hold my weld lead imma show you some shit son!!!! "
  • @ls2005019227
    I'm almost embarrassed to say how many times that I've watched & re-watched your videos (there's a lot to learn in nearly every one).....but this is definitely one of your best- Thanks for all that you do in sharing your work with us!
  • @MrRebar15
    I C Weld Yeah nothing easy about that one. Thanks for taking the time to show us. God Bless.
  • Real world welding. Only thing missing is a bunch of grease and oil and a customer saying hurry up.
  • @scottcarr3264
    What a mongrel of a place to lay, and gouge, and weld, but what a great outcome. Nice work man.
  • @BruceBoschek
    My wife watched this video with me and said, "That man earns his money!" My back and shoulders started to hurt just watching this. Thanks for sharing this.
  • @Killianwsh
    Takes a brave man to put their welds on the internet! lol Nicely done repair. Especially considering it having to be done upside down & half jammed in the arse end of an excavator. Thanks for taking the time to record and teach!

    I worked in Industrial Maintenace. I understand guy's welding things best they can to keep the machine running. That's what we had to do. On a Sunday I would go in and repair some of the "repairs" so it would last the next week. We were never giving the time to do proper repairs. Sunday was the only day and we focused on the really bad stuff. Like the saying goes - There's nothing more permanent that a temporary fix! Love watching your videos.

    I vaguely remember being young enough to crawl around on the ground like a snake like your doing, not hardly being able to see where I was welding, I felt your pain when you had to stop a minute to let your body regroup, I really admire you hanging in there and making it look really good, another job well done, thanks for sharing
