Front End Loader Bucket Rebuild 

THE “NO LOOK” CUT AT 22:00 had me rolling. Thank you for that!

You, Sir, are the Edward Scissorhands of heavy equipment repair. I always look forward to your video releases. So much to learn from a true professional.

Great illustration that welding is 90% fabrication, fit up, setup and experience and about 10% actual welding! Great work!

What are you talking about " Not the Best"? You are a Master. Due to your inspiration I will peruse this activity to go with my new welding and fabricating business. Thank you so much for your dedication and time.

The no look torch cut, LOL. It's like Michael Jordan or Larry Bird's no look free throw! Made me laugh and admire at the same time.

A man of few words who let's his talents and work do the talking , this is some the best craftsmanship I've seen in frabrication

Best welding video in a long while-I grew up with a true millwright for a Father and watching your work reminds me of him-your skill shows Sir-zero wasted labor and everything you do has a well thought out purpose. Your viewers probably dont realize how hard that work is because you make it look so easy. Made me smile watching you-thank you.

I was fortunate to work in the world's deepest copper mine "Deep Ore" OKIEP Copper Mines at the time during 1987 as an apprentice Diesel Mechanic. We mainly did maintenance on several underground mechanical "equipment" (as we called these machines) such as the Wagner StB range scoop-trams. It was so amazing to assist and watch the welders and boilermakers fixing scoop bucket lips (V-shaped) and worn bushes and collars on swivel parts of the scoops. I remember you used an angle iron to put in place bushes for bucket pins which you tack-weld onto the angle iron. Our boilermakers used hollow pipes (about 100 inner diameter / 4") to sleeve the bushes left or right into place. After the bushes was weld nicely into place on each bush was a brass collar sleeve pressed from each side of the bush into place. (Two halves on each bush with a 1x cm distance between each collar in centre of bush making room for the grease). Best part was all these pins, bushes and brass sleeves were manufactured at surface in a massive production Machine-shop of the mine. Unfortunately the entire Copper Mine became redundant by early 2000's. Well I so enjoy watching your work and it's amazing to see the knowledge you have on the different metals you use for different applications. Keep up doing these great videos. 🇿🇦🇿🇦

You have your hands full with this one. I love the nonchalant, "I've done this before. No big deal," and just so cool. You are Awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍!

Im retired and took welding as a hobby, with videos like these, even that I will never repair one of these buckets, I'm learning a lot. Stuff I' learning here, I can apply it to some of my projects. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Freakin amazing how you can do these things. You have a lot of talent.

Love to watch a proper fabricator and someone that knows what they’re doing at work 👍.

IC, man, we're glad you are back. Was getting worried about you. Nice project 👍. We dig it.

You fabbed a whole bucket. That's pretty damn cool!

I have learned so much watching this guy.

Outstanding work IC. Thank you for showing all your videos. You are a credit to the profession.

That little crane on your truck has some serious ass lifting that entire bucket, made that Dodge squat too!

Thank you for the big smile you put on my face! I need one of those tracks for sure.

It is a real joy to watch a master at his trade work. Great video, thanks

Thank you for demonstrating the bucket rebuild. I have a '67 Ford 5500 tlb front bucket that needs attention

Very informative and a pleasure to watch a real craftsman with torch and welder at work.

you do excellent fabrication work, people you are working for are getting value for there money, thanks for the video.

I'm fired up now. Tomorrow I'll get out my Burnsomatic propane torch, Harbor Freight $80 flux core welder and HF four inch grinder and ruin something in my garage. Great videos,.

I enjoy your video's... thanks for not spoiling your video's with ads...

Yes I agree better than new................this is ultimate recycling. Good job

I enjoy watching your work, learning a lot to thanks.😀

Enjoyed seeing the old school straight cut with the torch. Haven't seen that sine I worked in a fabricating shop back in the 80s.

Enjoy watching someone that is very good at their profession.

Demonstration of great craftmanship.

GREAT WORKMANSHIP!! it is ok to have fun too!!!

Best welder fabricator in Texas 👍

I learn a lot watching and figuring out how you plan the job... What's first, or third step and why you plan it like that... A puzzle fitting into place... Love watching you work and learning from it.....

I really like the way you talk through your thought process regarding the way you intend to approach the repairs in your video. That is interesting and helpful. Thanks for the videos, keep them going.

Loved the showboat with the torch guide LOL

He's back! Awesome project! Love the longer videos that cover the whole project. You have a alot of skills to show off sir.

Loved the no look torch cut. Great.

Brilliant job. I like your confidence looking at the camera while cutting the steel.

Your cutting is slick!! Iam a fabricator and welder in a shop that's builds all manor of this equipment..we build alot of buckets like this one your on.. and I've still gotta say your cut work is the best I've ever seen. I pick up little tricks everytime I see your videos.

I truly enjoy these videos, because they allow me to sort of be a fly on the wall. Watching tricks of the trade. My friend and her husband recently purchased buckets for their tractor and bobcat. The tractor's bucket is well used and patched, but defiantly needing repair. The bobcat's is still in good shape. I'm trying to educate myself so I can explain to them why the should hardface and how to go about repairing. These videos really do help. Hope you and your family are staying warm in this storm!

IC you did a super job on this loader bucket ! I am retired at 83 but still welding (not loader buckets) but did some which were very mangeled and had to use a rosebud torch,6' long-light it with a greasy rag laid on the ground and a sledge hammer ! Always good to see a good welder doing good work ! A really gooood job !!! Thanks for sharing !

the bead wrangler in action !!! nice job on the bucket i c !!! thanks for sharing !!!!!

Always enjoy your videos have learned a lot. I just started welding a few years ago and enjoy learning everything I can. Thank you

Really like your truck and work naturally

Awesome clean work, with a touch of improvements. Always nice to enjoy a craftsman who's perfected his trade. 👍

Good to see you back was missing your videos you are an amazing fabricator that torch is like a scalpel in your hands

I love your job, you are a role model for welders who want to do their job well!💪👍😎 When we repair a shovel, we cut the top of the side cutter, parallel to the bottom of the shovel. In that way it is quick and easy for the operator to see if the shovel is leveling😉Greetings from Denmark

Sir you are a true magician. I love watching you do your projects. Please keep the videos rolling. It’s awesome schooling.

Another great video. Thank you for going to the trouble.

Awesome work man!! You are the best craftsman!!

You Sir, Are a Master, As good as they get! Thanks for the video.

muy buen trabajo felicitaciones .....saludos desde Corrientes Argentina

Absolutely love the couple of jigs you have for cutting straight lines and Circle pieces with the torch. Nice build

Nice to see you back Brother Isaac! I enjoy your videos. I hope you and your family are well!

Rocking the old school flip up welding helmet. 👍🏻👍🏻 No concerns with arc flash delay with that one.

Unfreakinbelievable.. Did you see how straight his hand and arm move with the torch or plasma cutter in his hand.. I never even knew you could get a cut that clean with a torch.. Then in one vid he looks at the cut and says now it's time to grind it smoother, then he moves the camera he was looking through and says,, nahhhh, no need,, it's plenty smooth and clean.. Absolutely beautiful work.. Where are you, I need a bumper fabricated for my truck,, lol..

I think your work is in the category of remarkable

That was a awesome rebuild .... very encouraging for us rookies . I am learning some tricks from you already . Thank You .

I love that no look cuttin, untill you cut the point off that fork, LMAO, great video.Very informative

IC, I could watch all your videos in silence and watch every second. I really appreciate your dedication and passion. I hope you're making money off of RU-vid you absolutely deserve it. Keep up the GREAT work and stay safe

a man comfortable with his skill... I LIKE IT!

Dude this is hands down my favorite video you`ve done. You`re a funny guy! Loved it, keep`em coming! Dig the longer vids too :)

Awesome videos....I'm glad I found your channel. Keep them coming please.

Just started my industrial business a year ago sandblasting/ line boring / welding and I won't lie you've gave me a few ideas that got me out of some tricky situations. Thanks for the videos brother.

Cuttin like a boss there @22:05, when all I was thinking about was how many forklift tines I would have cut off by now!

Always a pleasure watching your videos. Great work!

Sir you make it look so easy , thanks for the cool video...

You, sir, are a wizard with that plasma cutter.

2.7K+👍's up thanks for taking us all along with you for the great show 😊

Well thought out and executed, sir.

It is truly amazing to watch you work out a project and then work your magic. Great videos I.C keep'em coming!!

I like your projects, where I'm from they would have scraped the bucket. Awesome, your work and skill. Keep going.

Very nice job! Awesome repair/project

Awesome work too man. I love giving a new life to buckets.

Thank you for sharing your process. I learn something new with every video you make.

Greetings from northen Sweden. That timelaps of you leaning over while checking the wearher sure made me giggle. I have to agree with my father when he said that "no matter what someone does, it's always impressive to watch them do it." You are one of those who are good at what you do. Stay safe and take care.

Great video I'm not a welder but you make it look easy I saw a different video and the man was right you do make it look easy great videos

You have mad skills, and that's coming from a former welder.

Awesome job and great sense of humor !

Man you have a very steady hand i am amazed.

For them who do not know the bolt-on plate at the bottom is called a Toe Plate. Nice work sir.

Excellent work!✌

AHAHAahhaha I was rotf laughing when you did the stevie wonder plate cut.....

Loved this vid. I liked hearing your thought process on this project. Thanks for the vid👍

Beautiful work. 🍻

First time seeing this show ! Really like it seeing a profeshenal do the almost impossible

Love your videos. Keep'em comming. 👍

So funny! Isaac looking at camera; "this is so easy! I can cut a straight line without even looking! Hehehe!" Good stuff!

You do damn good work from what I have seen. You would make a Great Instructor for the youngster's that seriously want to learn something. 👍👍👍

I could do the same job no problem but i'd probably be 20 hrs longer to get it done. Your experience is really showing. Thanks for the tips and tricks!

Great to see another video of yours! Glad you’ve been busy. I love how you cut that plate towards the end haha.. look ma no hands!

“Hopefully they can dig it” that was funny.

Nice job Issac. The crane on your truck is super handy for saving your body from wear.

You do great work and have awesome skills and patience.....

you are truly "Elite" at what you do, and you have a magic door on the shop

The 65 dislikes are from salesmen who sell NEW equipment and buckets.

You are a true master of your trade! I really enjoy your videos.

Always good to hear from you chow.
