(Part 2) Front End Loader Bucket Repairs. 

99.9999999999999999% of the people watching think that looks fantastic! Quit beating yourself up because there are more people learning from you than judging you. Thank you for sharing!

Again, you've taught us subscribers important lessons on how to retain original bucket dimensions, planning for future repairs, and in-expensive personal protection tricks. Always a joy. Thanks for letting us watch you work, sir!

Ahah, chains this time round 👏👍

Coffee and ice cream weld! Good morning Isaac! Here we go. The hook worked.

Don't skip on the arc cutting!! We want to see it, I want to see it!! It may seem repetitive, but that's how we learn from veterans like yourself. Please upload more love the videos

Only a pro would know, after he learned about burns! Using a wood shield is smart, especially right from the start! Always like your style !!!

I had to come back to this bucket repair -rebuild lesson , I have a new hoe that needs numerous welding repairs . You are a blessing to all of us . I really appreciate the straight forward approach showing the goods and the bads . You always make it turn out like art work . Fascinating no doubt .

Nice tip on the hand shield. I usually soak an old hand towel and wrap it but I like the wood piece better. Thanks for posting so quickly the second half and take care!

Its amazing to see how much work is involved in a bucket rebuild.

How do you know that you are watching a master artisan? Because Isaac makes it look so damn easy! Isaac, stop beating yourself up over small problems! You can’t possibly anticipate all inconsistencies in metal composition, dirt penetration, etc! We don’t live in a perfect world, it’s what you make of it that puts you head and shoulders ahead of the masses. You make beautiful straight lines that 95% of other welders would kill for. Ps I love your hand guard! Made me laugh! Lol

Loving the hints and tricks gained from years of experience. Leaving a hook to hold a cut piece is ingenious.

1 thing that would be very interesting, your hoist looks like it’s shop built. I’m sure that people would really like to see how you did that Thank you for the video. Thank you Sir

He's got chains!

Please get together with Cutting Edge in Australia and make a video. You 2 together would be better than Batman and Robin. A for sure dynamic duo. Nice work boss man.

What a neat trick using that piece of wood as a shield & a steady rest

Awesome work! Those buckets must be expensive to replace if they are willing to pay you to repair them. Smooth move setting yourself up for the future replacement of the bottom skin. Love the sacrificial heat shield!

The block of wood on the back of your hand was a nice touch. I learned something new!

Issac is such a master with the torch!

Issac makes it look like he is icing a cake.🥮

Isaac I’ve learnt more from you than I would have in any class room, your explanation of what , when ,why and how about the task at hand is so easy to understand you are an absolute master of your craft , what you call rough work is much better than anything we could achieve , great job all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

27.13 love that IC Weld tig finger! Highly effective as you demonstrate. 😂 good video, as usual.

Great video, Isaac. And you know, if your community does want to build an ark, that could mean a sweet payday for you, as an expert at ark welding. (Sorry, some puns are too good pass up.) Best to you and your family.

🤣 a couple sparks in the ear and down the shirt really let you know you're doing some work! I dig your hand shield too! Blisters on the tops of your fingers suck. Fine job sir! 👍

Isaac, you are an artist with a torch.😊😊😊😊

Another work of excellence out the door!

God has blessed you with a talent! You make that work look easy, it's not. ❤

He's got the speed of a gunfighter with that striker and torch. Blinding!

Howdy from Sacramento! I am not a welder, but you are a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing!

Nice to see that you're using chains to lift it now! 😜

I can relate to that wood heat shield near the end, ha! I still have numb spots on the back of my left hand. Back in my early 20's, worked as a mig welder on an assembly line. Seam welding panels onto dump bodies. I quit buying those foil heat shields. At a rate of more than 5 a day, I just wasn't getting paid enough to afford them. I kept a bunch of rags cut from scrap blue jeans, soaking in soap water. Quota mandates, did not always have time to stop and swap out for fresh wetted wraps.

I suggest that yiu get yourself a piece of big teuck brake lining new or used to use as a heat shield instead of that board to protect your hand. This material can withstand much higher heat and ahould also be cheap. Good job, good video.

What a great job! Your talent make the work look so easy! Enjoy watching all the video!

I love the wooden back hand pad, LOL. Love your videos, Sir, you are master of the torch!

I hadn't seen the wood hand shield idea since I did some weld training years ago. While at the training I saw a fella from somewhere in eastern europe do the same thing but with a scrap of floor tile. Schmart! The bucket lives to move another million tons of earth and rock. Really liked the video. Cheers.

The evil laugh when it flipped over was awesome

You da man !!! Well done my friend 😀😀😀😀

Morning Coffees on ,brother ,, here we go! Cheers! ;-)!!

Isaac was literally smoking 🔥 😬

The good ol delayed hand shake after picking something up hot!

Nice spray transfer sounds there sir!!! Good job!

Hmm I could make some fantastic punches with that wear resistant edge steel, it would take some moving with a hammer though lol. I really like the line cutter it leaves a fantastic edge and last but not least those chains look way safer than the bit of tape ever did...I am sure no one wants a flat Isaac 😉

You joke about the block of wood for a hand shield but I wish I had thought of that back when I had a long run to make, so I could have done it and not several short passes to let my gloves cool off. You know you need to take a break when the outer skin of the glove is smoking...ha

Wooden heat sheild, priceless....😂😂😂👍

Man that was a lot of weld, looks great in my opinion!

Another one off the "Bucket List"... 🙂

Man I have been in the pipe welding industry for 30 years and heavy machinery repair also and you sir make it look easy!!!!! My hat is off to you!!

Loved the video - you are so honest about your mistakes. From UK .

Yeah! Nice chain on that piece. 🙂 You sure had that wire machine "turned up on weld!" We had a Inspector Ol Nick, he'd come in behind you with or without his little hand held, and give you a critique. Almost without fail closing with his, "Go turn your machine up on weld." Story goes, one day Ol Nick got with a welder on some 8" heavy wall. He took his shield, fired up off the bottom with a 5/32 7018 kept hollering to the fitter, "up 10," they said he went up 80 some amps. "He was carrying a pond not a puddle." The slag curled up like a piece a crisp bacon n fell off on the floor. It was one of the slickest welds that welder'd ever seen, he said. That hand was an old timer ready to retire. We'd all thought Nick was blowing us a lot a smoke. But he could show you how too... Coke bottle glasses 'n all. Point being most of the Inspectors I've run across wouldn't tell you to do something if they couldn't show you how it's done. That was one of those jobs where the weld rod came in by the rail car and every body had a heated rod can and the rod tome out of the oven was timed. You'd have to return it if you had it too long and not used it. Now I don't remember if that was for Kellogg or Jones. Isaac, ya sure make those parts look good. Keep on... 🏁🇺🇸👍

As always Isaac, you do phenomenal work. So need a tshirt with a welder on yhe front with the caption gluing things together.

Another Great video of the Master..thanks for sharing

MIG Hand guard. Love it.

Thank you for sharing. The gas torch is your compfort zone . You are really good with the plasma torch . Practice makes perfect.😊😊😊

👍 another fine job! Thanks for sharing your mad skills with us!

Watching Isaac with a torch reminds me of that Madonna song," Like a Surgeon"!

Great project/job and another great video, thanks for taking the time to share it with us!

Great videos, love the common sense approach to your repairs.

Great idea to put that track cutter in there it just cleaned it up just perfect!! Beautiful straight line!! Haven't seen your Son in awhile Hopefully he is well? All the best from Surrey BC Canada

Pulse(thumbsup). Love that sound.

Man learns quick, 5 k chain on it now. A lot of work went into that rebuild. Usually, an old bucket like that would just show up on an auction site and be converted to a light use tele-handler fork bucket by an owner-operator and might fetch 2-3k. I would imagine a new bucket like that would go for at least 8-12k new plus shipping, that is if they had on in stock. Looks like you might have had 2-3 days in the rebuild process (and some parts like cutting edge and side cutter plates), so it was probably well worth it in terms of time and cost to get you to rebuild it. @27:10, I will have to remember that oversized smoldering rat trap glove shield trick. @28:22 Poor Mud Dapper Wasp.

I think Jody should patent that new style “tig finger “. Great video and work Issac.

Thanks for the video Issac great work on the bucket nailed it good 👍❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed.

Issac was it hickory or pecan for the finger shield. 😅😅😅😅 Great work as usual 😊

Very interesting on the many details. Watching a nicely planned and expertly executed repair is not boring at all.

You have to be one of the best in the business, great content.

Nice Job! ..... You know if you're not getting burnt, you're not doing it right. lol ;)

Another great video,thank you for sharing,ilearn a lot everytime 👍👍👍👍

ALWAYS a good video and learning about how you do things in such an expert manner.

Nice job IC….. I’ve used that board trick before offshore. Works good! Try to stay out of that heat.

i always like how welders setup their mig for penetration etc, maybe a small video on it will show up someday. how you choose the wire speed power etc, i can learn from your experience, thanks! :)

I like your hand shield, what a simple, but great idea.....and you can still use the charred piece to start the barbecue !

Great work! enjoyed seeing all the various welding and cutting you did!

Good job mister love the wooden hand shield. The best ideas are the simple ones that cost nothing but save a lot. You remind me of my late father always had ideas in his head to save you lifting straining and hurting yourself. He once watched my brother trying to lift a brake drum back onto a lorry a bit of a struggle. He said stop as he picked up a length of timber lying there. Roll the drum onto the timber. Lift the timber to the right height slide the drum into place jobs a good un. You don't pick your nose with your thumb😂❤ THANKS RUTH GB

Hot hot hot! Great job brother

Any shade of welding lens will give UV protection. I hope your regular glasses have a UV coating.

For what you had to work with great job!

Love this guy showing us how he does it, there are gazillion ways to do a job, we all do it different :) but still we learn from each other, tks so much. Perfectly done man!

rock n roll , more cow bell!

Learn something every time I watch your videos. I really like the way you lay out your moves before you start cutting. The planning ahead has to save a lot of mistakes and extra work.

This is where a teenager and a grinder would be useful.

Great job.

I'd say don't be to afraid to bump your air pressure up on your plasma. Tip quality is critical as well. I see guys try to push their consumables farther than they should. Not saying you do, just what I've seen working quality control in the field. Always top shelf work Issac.

Good to see you walking around and a chain on that bucket. Great job. I envy your torch work.

As always Isaac, enjoy the thought process, and artwork with a torch 🤠

Great job thanks for sharing looks good

Great job as usual! Thanks for the video.

You are still the master Isaac even if you don't like your work sometimes lol

So awesome that you share all of this including your thoughts and narration of the work. Really enjoyed following your bucket project!!

Issac you are a true mechanic. Like I have said I am a pipe welder but I admire your talent so much.

Another great job always very interesting 🦘

Isaac you need an old set of metal roller skate wheels for a guide spray the wheels with anti spatter or use a shield on one side.

Nice work Isaac, thanks for sharing.

This guy is artist with a torch. Unreal skill and experience

Nice trick on the hand shield - Hope I learn something? I always learn something!

With your straight cut obviously you had the weld to follow, but drilling pilot holes can be a real quick way of transferring reference points on tricky to measure stuff. Something I'm sure you would have figured if needed or used in the past. Really enjoyed the patented IC weld hand shield.

Nice work as usual. You make it look easy. Thanks for sharing.

So damn satisfying. Love your work.

I like the subtitles - “music” when You light the Torch 😂

glad to see the chain on it, very nice work, thanks for the lessons

24:30 Most definetly the sound of a spark gettin in your ear

I see you swtiched to a chain this time lol
