You must ain't been in the craft long😂he had a good starting technique,but he isn't perfect,but he did a good job..there are ppl that are amazing with a torch..he is regular,that's not taking anything from him..but he said himself,he is kinda shaky..most of us are,they guys that are better,have a great technique and a very steady hand.. Relax breathing help a person maintain a steady hand because you actually take ur mind off the task,and it makes my hand steadier

You are the torch Master. I have always used my regular Journeyman torches but after watching you use those real long torches I bought one and when I tried it man it made my freehand cutting so much straighter i call it the pool cue method. I got that from you buddy thank you.

They cut so much better with the same gas pressures!

Not only are you a master artisan at your craft, you are willing to teach and share so others can improve too.

I'm impressed with the way you cut a straight line around a round pipe

Your son has such an advantage to watch a Master at work. You use lots of things that you learned over the years to make things work out.

Perfect quote of today: "videos of how I did it, not 'how to do it"" lol. Thanks Isaac, there's something mesmerizing about your teaching skills. I've learned so much more in the last two years watching you work. Be well!

I'm fascinated by craftsmanship, I can watch a guy with skills do just about anything. I would pay money to hang out with these 2, can you imagine the stuff you'll learn.

"My welds are not the best, I'm outta practice" Then he literally lays down the best looking weld I've ever seen. LOL

71. Yep, I do some hobby, incidental welding but I would never put them on video. I don't like criticism. 🤣

Cutting casing like that is so impressive, the outside might be cleaner after a grinder but the inside is still got concrete and who knows what inside and to be able to cut that so perfectly says something about your abilities. Also thanks for showing tips, that tip about using the lower of the kerf to run the line is something I never thought of doing. I struggle as I use the oxy hole through the line making it look like a beaver chewed through rather than a controlled cut. I always learn something from your video's.

You are a good instructor I get to learn a lot from you over here in Kiwi land

Seeing those pipes line up says it all: the cuts were dang perfect. Really appreciated seeing the stick patterns you used, too. If I can weld like that before I pass on, it would be a life-long goal realized. You are a true inspiration to anyone who ever tried to do this trade!

Love the fact that you stick weld. I think all young welder should start there.

Love seeing a skilled father pass down his knowledge to the next generation and ensure if nothing else they will have a skill to rely on and hopefully pass on to their children.

"I don't claim to be the best welder" Seen people with not even half of your skills brag about their welds, you are not only a master of your trade but also really humble. There's a saying that goes "The problem with this world is that smart people are full of doubts while idiots are full of certainties"

Seen every weld you have made on ytube. Awesome to watch. You often say your not the best welder around but i have seen very few better. I always learn from your blogs. I'm 60 and still learn from a true master. Thanks for great content.

Super precise cut, "Nothing a grinder can't fix".... 🤔

I've watched old guy in the ship yard using a tractor jack on 60 inch pipe to push up on the front or to squeeze them together. Worked like a charm. 💯😎👍

Cutting a straight line. Dang your good. Oh and your welding skills are one of the best I have seen. Thank you sir. Keep on making great videos.

The máster of the torch cutting

Thanks for explaining the different patterns and showing the close-ups that makes a lot more sense to me (new to welding and trying to learn) now. Nice camera work by your son also.

I can still remember the day we were introduced to the gas axe. Once we got down to actually using it, our first lesson was piercing plate. The mining company had their own scrap yard and we'd fetch pieces from there to work on and for piercing plate with the gas axe we brought over some random thick (inch) plate. Like heck would it pierce! We were doing everything by the book and our instructor grew more and more frustrated. With each fail we'd block holes in the nozzle, kill the flame or it just wouldn't go. The instructor finally snapped and tried himself - he failed too! After much headscratching and searching, seems this plate was something unusual that'd been scrapped from the coal wash plant. I've no idea what it was (instructor mumbled stainless but it was rusted) and when we were given a different plate it worked fine. Stick welding. I just love it when everything starts working exactly as it should and the welds fuse properly, look great and the crust peels like that. Few realise but the cheapest types of welding machine can also be the best for the job. Just gotta avoid those Chinese rods..

I've been welding my whole life, and for those of you who never used a torch I can tell you that cutting freehand like he is is difficult and he is a very talented man !!!!

It's a real pleasure to have a welder that doesn't make himself look so good that you wonder how he lives up to the pedestal he puts himself on.

always educational thanks for showing this my boy just turned 18 and is welding very nice beads proud Dad Chris H.

We were missing you. Glad to see you and your apprentice.

Excellent video as usual. I know your son is learning by watching you as i learned from watching my old man working on cars. You already hsve a welding scoolg going on here on YT but you should consider starting a school for teaching your complete craft cause you are not only a craftsman and a welder but you are a well rounded man. Something that is dying all around us as we trade real skills for canned technological fads.

You keep saying "I'm not the best welder", "it's not the best but not the worst" but you're just being humble. Respect.

The straightness of that cut is next level.

Isaac, love watching your videos, especially the project videos like this one. You aren't in a controlled environment with the perfect conditions and the time to do unlimited takes with the camera and only show us the best parts - you show how it is out on the job, and how things don't go perfectly every time and how you work to solve any problems that come up. I'm not a welder, but a truck mechanic that occasionally has to do some welding and fabrication and I can honestly say I have learned more from your channel just watching you work and do your thing than I have any other. As humble as you are, you truly are a master at what you do. As always thanks for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them.

I love how you are passing down your trade to your kid...I used to work with my old man as a mechanic/welder when I was 19, by then I had already taken a course in welding in high school...then followed him for a while when I lived in USA...now in Sweden, have 4 welding licenses and work as a welder for the last 8 years.....I will never forget those times with my dad, sure your kid will never also

Man I wish I could get Slag to fall off like that. I love your torch skills. Tell Jr to pay attention to every detail.

I don't know what it is but working with your hands, creating and fixing is just so satisfying. The only problem is when companies and unions try to be greedy and don't treat their employees like humans.

I think it's so amazing that you are able to pass down your skill set to your son. I would give anything to have my Dad back, he taught me so much, but there was more to learn before he passed. He will always have a trade to fall back on, or at worst a really cool hobby. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

There will always be a need for a good welder. Metal will need to be joined to accomplish some end in an uncertain future. Thanks a lot for taking us along to look over your shoulder. We're all looking forward to the day that your son can hold his own and you both will be welding away at the same project - you on one side and he on another!

Much respect.. Your experience makes this look easy.. Cutting a pipe like that free hand is impossible or 99% of us.. You need a crew of apprentices. They'll be better than any school taught kids..

You sure are good with that cutting torch!

Essentials for a job like this....... FOOD and a good umbrella. That is some neat trick to get the pipe in line, well done.

Thank you! Always learn by watching

Love your videos. I automatically thought you were reposting an old video in the beginning because I remembered those pipes. Good job always love watching you.

Learned a couple tricks with this single video... im a ironworker, welder myself keep up the good work

I was asked once to cut the cylindrical sections from two 250-gallon propane tanks, and weld them together (single pass MIG) to make a culvert for a farm road. Not as heavy and not as long as what you have here, but it was quite a challenge getting them together. I used the same techniques as you did to get the joint smooth all around. Adding the headwalls made from flat plate was a breeze by comparison. Nothing compares to the satisfaction of telling someone you can do something difficult, and then doing it. I'm sure you know that feeling.

Some of the best straight line cutting I have ever seen.

Bro's work with the torch was amazing

Camera man shuddered when he said “nothing a grinder can’t fix” Nice work though, I’m genuinely impressed.

Always enjoy watching the torch master.

Love those teaching moments

Each moment a joy

Beautiful work !!

If I could go back to 19 and stupid I would have been a fabricator. When I was 5 or 6, until my dad passed away in 83 when I was 12, he would take me along to his buddy's shop. Charlie Spicer was a Oilfield fabricator starting back before WWII. Charlie would send me out with a tape measure to count oxygen bottles and what ever else he had in the rack. At 5 I could read a tape measure and tell him how many green ones and how tall, how many black ones with yellow around the valve and on and on. He designed and built the oxygen supply from the outside storage tanks to inside the hospital basement for the "New Hospital" that was built in the early 70s. One of the shop hands taught me the basics of stick welding when I was 7. I find it absolutely amazing to watch men like you doing your craft. That is not a job - that is craftsmanship and hard work. You have a new subscriber. Just please don't be like Jimbo's Garage and make decorative gates every 3 weeks. 😆

Thank you for the sub. I hope I dont bore you with the broken excavator booms!! haha. I seem to be doing a ton of them lately.

Strangest thing occurred to me watching this video , I used to work in construction of commercial buildings , got out of it about 5 years ago , I used to hear those welders kicking in and out all day long , probably wished at the time they buggered off elsewhere , but I now realise I kind of miss that sound and it brought back a lot of good memories from when I was in that industry hearing yours kick in and out like that.

I may not execute this diameter to weldment, but I really liked your teaching at this process. The small notes as where best fitment can be achieved. Most of all as the weld machine unit at my shop door is a stick type. Just about everything a review as best practice to manage the clean, well formed final pass. Thank you for having me along. I truly enjoyed every minute and the mention of lunch made me hungry. McGary

I remember having to cut n splice two pieces of 84" casing in the 90s . Even with wrap around i still had a half inch gap in a cpl spots ! Took 3 days to make 2 cuts and weld one joint . And then the crane operator folded the crane boom lifting the casing . Computer kept shutting the crane down . Operator kept over riding the computer . That didnt last long ! Folded the boom in half . 60,000 dollar mistake ! Good video ! The wider the wrap around the better ! Stuff aint cheap either !

You are the master with the cutting torch! Impressive how you finished that job just as the video ended!

I'm glad your son has your work ethic instead of the guy napping in the truck!

Can't say anymore than that hasn't been said , WOW wowWOW

Oh man, I was wondering how you were going to cut that pipe, did not expect the two hand hold, mind blown!

When you said Wrap Around and didn't know any other name it reminded me the Old Timers I worked with called it a Pipe Wrap and I guess that must have been common because it'll show up today if you do a search............Of course most people today would associate the term "Pipe Wrap" with some type of insulating wrap for pipes..........It seems like whatever trade you're in there's at least a half dozen names for everything..............I love hearing the sound of a torch again, I do the occasional welding project around the house but haven't picked up a torch in 15+ years.
