Thanks IC and wish you all the best in the New Year!

The only word that I can sensibly say is.... ARTIST. Edit:... luv it! "Not my problem... yet"... perfect!

Merry Merry Christmas to you and your family

Isaac you are more than an artist, you are a metal craftsman. I truly hope your son picks up your skills and commitment to your craft. At one point this labor will command premium demand. Your experiences are fascinating to watch

always enjoy watching the "metal magician".

Great video, nice camara views. Thanks for the wisdom!

Thanks for the great video Isaac. Wishing you and your family a safe and happy New Year from central Texas!

If I were a betting man, I would wager that the twisting to the channel was done through the abundant use of tugging force on the safety chain, someone trying to manouever the trailer using the chain as a hitching point, if I were a betting man, I suppose. Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

It’s fast, and also doesn’t put as much heat into the steel as a torch would, which can be important in some cases. In the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing, it’s possible to wash off old weld so cleanly that grinding isn’t necessary! IC Weld is clearly one of these people!

@sumduma55

@@danvertdavis6867 here is the problem. Federal regulation requires that welds and repairs to frames on vehicles driven on the road must be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. This can be compounded by state and local regulation or laws. When you are talking about a triaxle dump, you have even more to worry about because federal regulation 393.201 limits what can be done to a frame on a commercial truck and/or trailer. They define a commercial motor vehicle as any vehicle or combination of vehicles having a gross vehicle weight "rating" of 1001 pounds or more.. notice the rating there. It is what the manufacturer says the vehicle can weight not how much it weighs at any given point in time and regardless of how it is titled or licensed in a state. Non commercial licrnsed vehicles and passenger licensed vehicles can fall within this regulation if the gross vehicle weight rating is high enough. The vehicle can be shut down on the side of the road and along with fines, you can be forced to repair or tow the vehicle from the spot. Now there most likely is an approved process for frame repairs. They might include welds and might include just replacing the actual frame rail section completely. It's up to the manufacturer what this process is. And you have to be specifically careful because some truck frames are heat treated or hardened after assembly so any welding or torch cutting on them can ruin the structural integrity of the frame making it even worse.

It's really refreshing, even amusing to see Isaac welding "farmer style" - rusty irons, poking the stick through the rust, dragging arc across five inches of the piece being welded... Oh boy, I just loved it! : ) Yes, yes, I know - Q&D, JGID piece of steel to push another piece of metal in one-off job. No need to bother with cleaning or anything like that, just get a good digging rod, crank the amperage up, and "yee-haw!" ;-)

I've seen you use arc gouging often enough that it was my first thought when you showed the problem. What impressed me was welding that bar on there and then heating just at the right spot while pressure was being put on it. Your experience and ingenuity are always a delight to watch. Thanks for another enjoyable video.

Your right, the arc gouging works incredibly well for this job. As usual sir your plan and execution is spot on!

Nice job 👍

Such delicate and smooth moves! Love your boy working with you.

Definitely happy to see a welding shield for the camera, that's SICK!! Thank u!!

Watching your plan of attack on these jobs is awesome because when I see the start and the issues you’re repairing I have in my head how I would do it.

The key to any successful project is to plan your work and work your plan.

I think this is the clearest video you've done on gouging, as far as showing just how quickly you can remove material with finesse. The heavy repairs don't articulate that point as well for people who aren't familiar with the process. Funny how the simple stuff can get more attention that the more difficult.

You know how to make metal do what you want it to. Nice work

Nice work, a competent welder is worth his weight in gold!

My favorite gouging tool, one pass and it's clean. Great video again.

The gouge is definitely a time saver. Years ago I worked at a large propane supplier in Toronto and when they were adding 4 more 30,000 gallon storage tanks in the yard they upgraded the older tanks. All the new openings for larger piping were fitted using a gouge. That was the first time for me to see a gouge in use and it was amazing to see how it handled the 1” steel tank walls.

Great job 👍 happy New year

Love the welding cap 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 “may the arc be with you”

I always learn something from your lessons. Thanks, Isaac.

True artist! So many “welders” would have just cut the hitch off, mig’d it back on and sent it!!

That leg "It's not my problem, yet." LOL So very true.

Man you're amazing with the air arc gouging.

Thanks so much , I could watch you all day, But then i don't get any jobs done myself. Merry Christmas

Damnnnnnnnn you got the dimide clamps!! That’s how I know you’re a good welder. Those things are the best

You have great habit of separating the old welds so neat and clean so there perfect for another rewelding.

At first I thought "no plasma cutter" until I looked at the gouging. Then you used a plasma cutter and realized why you did what you did. Very informative video. Thank you sir.

I love watching you gouge. You are a surgeon with that thing sir. Awesome video as usual.

This is a great video because many people have damaged trailers that they need to repair. For under $1000 with equipment and many IC videos, this can be done by farmers and others. Thank you IC.

Great crimping tool that kind of c clamp.. And cool star wars hat 🧢 👍👌

Two things, I loved the drag stitch so you didnt have to re arc. Just a crazy technique that shows years of feild work. Also I laughed really hard at "That leg is something else. Oh well not my problem....Yet." I think I could hear you smirk LOL.

You truly leaving a legacy for all time!
