Isaac, you’re a sure steady hand with the cutting torch my man. People who haven’t ever used one don’t realize the level of control you have. Impressive work as always. Also fantastic you’re passing on your skills to your son!

Isaac...I’m a welding student at our local junior college, almost done with my program but still have a heck of a lot left to learn. I’m very fortunate to have supportive, knowledgeable instructors who really care about their students that clearly enjoy teaching. I’m currently taking the thermal cutting course and have learned a lot; oxyacetylene torch/gouging, carbon arc gouging and the plasma torch. I’m really enjoying the course and the processes I’ve learned. Yesterday in class, I had to pierce through a 3/4” plate with the oxyacetylene torch. I had to pierce straight through, unable to angle the torch head while slowly moving it upright (which is how I was taught and always have done prior). I had to heat the plate and just pierce it. I watched the other students and let’s just say, there was a lot of popping, crackling and splatter going on. I thought to myself, “this is going to splatter in my face when I try to pierce through!” Like I said, I still have a lot to learn. I then remembered watching you tackle thick plate jobs with your oxyacetylene torch that you’ve easily pierced through and knew it could be done. I just had to commit myself to it, heat up the plate, take a moment to focus and go for it. (Kind of like I watched you do in this video). Then I remembered watching your videos and how you’ve approached this same scenario. What I’m saying; you’re an excellent teacher. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and I really enjoy watching you work. I’ve learned a lot, not only from welding school but from your videos too! Your content has really supplemented my overall learning/educational experience. My instructors are wonderful but it’s nice to have your videos as an educational resource. I hope to find someone with your level of expertise to mentor me after I graduate. Meanwhile, your videos help me so much to reinforce what I’m learning. Your son is lucky to have you as a teacher. Even if he doesn’t want to be a welder, you’re teaching him a lot about hard work, and problem solving skills (both are invaluable). Please keep posting your videos. They’re not only entertaining but informative and educational. My dream job would be doing the type of work you’re doing. Thank you for sharing your talent/skills with all of us.

I think it's absolutely fantastic to see your son working with you and learning the trade. Watching you teach him is an absolute treat

Wow. The RU-vid watching part of me says "yeah, I could do that cut just as straight...". The Real me would try, and it would be horrifically crooked.. a real disaster and embarrassment. Isaac - you do such an incredible job day in and day out. Thanks for sharing!

I have to say I always thought my uncle was the best welder I had ever seen. But after watching Isaac on here for the last year I think my uncle is in the number 2 spot lol. Isaac is an absolute artist with a torch and a welder.

Your skill and accuracy with the freehand gas axe is legendary, Isaac. If a repair is difficult but do-able, you're the one for the job! 🙂

Buddy, how you do it IS how to do it!! One of my favorite RU-vidrs! Thanks for sharing

Keep ‘em coming. Good clean, professional, family-centered content.

An opportunity of a lifetime to apprentice under a craftsman like this!

Awesome to see the young man helping out! Greatest thing you can do as a tradesman is to pass on the knowledge! Thanks for sharing!

Your son will always remember working with you, and he will tell his children all about it.

Anyone who says they can do better than this don’t hesitate to show us. Of course you have to do it out in a dusty field. Great job from the master.

It's relaxing watching a master of his art at work. So much knowledge and skill with a relaxed demeanor and a humble attitude to boot. Thanks for sharing

2👍's up IC WELD thanks for sharing

I always enjoy watching you and your son working together on these projects. Your a good man and father Isaac.

Saw the hat liner you sent to CEE Australia. nice!

From someone who works in the foundation industry (mechanic) I can appreciate guys like you who keeps things going like I do.

I'm always amazed by the straightness of your free hand torch cuts. I sometime do plasma cuts and if I don't use some kind of jig (like a straight edge) to cut straight than it looks like a drunkard made the cut....

It's incredible how well you control that torch! Keep up the great work bud! Love your videos!

As a Dad, I love seeing you out there with your boy. I love your videos, thank you.

love how you jumped right in. hooked me at second 1! good edit Isaac

I watched the bevel cut multiple times …. just unbelievable how well you can do that ! Thank you Sir

Once again your skill with the torch is impressive. You must get a lot of satisfaction having your son work alongside with you, passing on your work ethic and skill showcase your character. Cheers from Tokyo!

Been a while since watching you do that much cutting with the torch,again amazed at your talent Isaac Thanks for the video

Your skills with the cutting torch are second to none. The work you do speaks for itself. Nice to see your protege with the grinder.

That OE had an easy afternoon. 😉

Watching you with that cutting torch never gets old..

Watching you work, we can see the artist, the vision, and the care you take before, during, and after you start a project. I do not weld but watching you work is fascinating and entertaining. We appreciate your sense of value, the lessons you impart, and your sense of humor.

It's always an honor to watch a master do their work. Keep it up IC!

I swear this man is actually a CNC torch housed in human skin lol.

I could watch you use that torch all day!! You are an absolute master!

After months of trying to hop into apprenticeship programs I finally found a shop that'll train me up. Looks like i'm on my way to a better job as a welder!

I noticed that you have 100,000 subscribers now. Congratulations!

I like the way you use the crease of your free left thumb to act as a guide to push the cutting torch in a straight line

Ive been watching this channel for years (in the background not really commenting) but the skills and knowledge here are just impressive.

That job took a LOT longer to get done than we saw. Isaac is a worker!

The KING of torch I sure

Besides the technical stuff, thank you for the music and links to the songs!

best welder and torch man ive seen on here

Wieder super Arbeit geleistet, ihr beiden!!!!!!!!! LG.Herbst Johann aus Österreich

Picture in a picture was a nice touch. Thank you for all the narrative in explaining what you’re doing. Another excellent job !!

I’ve learned more about quality welding watching I C welding then I ever thought possible

Keep that young fella by your side mate..the next he will be telling his friends to come learn as well. Then you got a crew of them willing to learn..that's success ♥️

I do remember those low-hanging clouds from when I was at Fort Hood.

A surgeon with a torch.

Good to see your helper. That Man Cub appears to like working with the old man. Does this old guy good to see the next gen helping the fam

Hello from Alabama my friend

Time and time again when I watch Isaac working with the torch I got the impression of a "human laser-beam" Your lines are so straight - marvellous! 👍

I work as a welder/fabricator and by gum I cant watch your videos without learning SOMETHING each time. Thanks for uploading.

Got her done there 👍 very precisely accurate description

You my friend are amazing on the torch Nuff said Cheers from Nova Scotia

Issac, you are absolutely amazing. Thanks very much for sharing. So good to see you son learning the trade. The lessons from a Master like you is a lesson he will find no where else or for any amount of money.

Nice to see the teamwork between you and your son!

Thank you Issac. Your torch work and set up are a college course.Your son is a lucky man.

Every kid needs a good patient mentor. Good to see you passing on some of your skills to your son. You are awesome!

Extremely professional cut, quite steady hands and very fluid motion/speed throughout the cut, outstanding results.

That bevel was beautiful Looks so easy

Just looking for a video after a lot no day! Thank you.

Greg from northern Michigan. Fantastic skill set ! You and other skilled welders keep our country and small businesses moving forward ! Thanks for sharing these excellent videos ...

Man I love watching you work Isaac ,I'm always learning something every time ,your Son is a lucky Man to be learning from a Pro thank you .

I really like seeing Dad and Son working together! wonderful.............Canada

Your son is a lucky lad learning from a MASTER

You probably know this, if you heat the steel up to or beyond what is called the Curie point, a specific temperature where the material's magnetic properties change. It can be used in reverse to measure the temperature of the steel, by bringing a magnet to the metal and once it looses the attraction, the curie point is reached. I'm sure there are charts showing this data. I'm not a metallurgist, but I have been trained by the best. I love welding, love to watch you and that other guy from down under, I know you are buddies. I didn't realize that when steel has been magnetized, it makes it difficult to weld. We know anytime electric current passes through any conductor, a magnetic field is produced, and if the current is ac, and the currently slowly reduced, the material should loose it's magnetism, that's how demagnetizes work.

When I was in high school in 1954 I could cut a straight line and come off clean like yours but since then my cutting with a torch has been unrecognizable. I admire your skill with the torch I hope you at the burger joint in the future.

How skillfully you cut and weld.What artistic hands you have.The scenery was beautiful.passing clouds and pleasant music, and your art, were very amazing. Thank you. Thousands of my likes from ((Persia)) for you and your art 👍👍👍...

This makes me miss the years working under my father who was a commercial plumber. I ended up going into IT but I still learned so much from the 4 years I worked with him as an apprentice/helper. I use those skills all the time now as a grown man. I lost him in 2020 and wish I could tell him that.

Don’t know what part of Texas you’re in, but here in Ft Worth, the clouds have abandoned us and we should be near 100 next week. We’ll be able to leave our steel on the blacktop or dashboard of our trucks with the windows rolled up to preheat our steel and save on gas. Lol. Thanks for the awesome video.

You are The man with a cutting torch and great job welding. Your Son doing great learning from a master.

Who needs a cnc when you have a Texan with a torch!

Watching you swing that gas ax is a treat. Thanks for posting your work. It is inspiring to watch.

Best welding channel on RU-vid. There are good welding channels. I’ve learned a lot. But none of those guys are crawling under an excavator.

One thing always amazes me , all professional workers like you , always see the scribed line and cut on it. Enjoyed this as always

Iam a fabricator welder and I aspire to be as good as you with the smoke wrench some day.. I've been in the buiz now for many years and use the tortch muliple times a day but you're cuts are top shelf brother! God bless you and hello from Wisconsin..

You are a MASTER with that cutting torch. I must have been absent the night in college when Plummer Williams thought how to use the torch for cutting! 😊 keep up the great content!

Saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico Steve...

As I watched you cut that plate with the torch I said" Wow, is he good or what." I can't even cut a piece of wood with a saw and have it end up that smooth. Excellent work and video. Thanks.

Zooming through 100k subscribers! Keep up the good work and we’ll be happy looking over your shoulder.

always good stuff to watch a professional apply his trade.

Isaac, still the master of torch work! John, Australia.

Nice to see you’re Son! Helping out! And learning the ropes! Thanks for sharing! 👍

My grandpa used to wrap the ground lead around the stuff he repaired , he also used heat to cancel the magnetism. Great video

Thanks for bringing us along.

Burning the soot off robs the oxygen from the rust and breaks it down… Is that what’s happening? Wild. Thanks for taking the time to film and share.

It's like you have pens and pencils in your hands. Love your channel.

it is crazy how good you are with the torch. I have always thought I was pretty but you are on the next level. It is amazing to watch someone who is a master at there craft.

Very smooth torch work!

Jr is getting good 👍

all good :) another happy customer

I always hit like before I watch Isaac's videos. They never disappoint!

Great work as always! Thank you for sharing!

thanks for the video and info on magnetism. I've welded on drill stem building fences. it really sucks.

Man u r a master at what u do. I hope young buck is taking notes. I'm not sure u even teach thst level of skill. But i wish u an him the best of luck. I wish I had half ur knowledge and skills

Beautifully done👍🏻

Ill say this much this guy knows how to pick a good pin lots my pin like that got it off the welding truck it was the first thing i every bought off a welding truck wish i could have me a nother pin like that loved it was a good one nice cutting bud

Man, you cut metal as easy as I eat a peanut butter sandwich. I have done a little cutting and there is a sweet spot of heat and travel speed and when you hit it, its is awesome.

Another great video, cool to see you and your son. Thanks for putting the time into these videos.

That torch work is incredible

You are right Issac. When carbon steel is at a temperature + - 1420 deg F it becomes non magnetic, iron is near 2000 Deg F. Cheers

I've been injured for 2 years with a tbi. watching you produce such beautiful work in the manner that you do it. I know I will be able to work the metal again one day. you are a master tradesman

Great day job $$$. Turned out nice!!!
