One of the things I really appreciate about these videos is that even though you sometimes deal with horrendous previous repairs, you never say a bad word about it. Just get on with what needs to be done. The mark of a true professional is that their work speaks for itself. No need to bring others down. Cheers.

Your videos are my favorites on here. I like how patient and humble you are with your repair work. The good vibe rubs off on me and travels with me to work. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

low key guy I ain't never seen upset by any welding situation. that's from years in the field, liking what he's doing and making it his business to keep up with advancements in the trade. the man deserves all the success he has. love watchin the guy at his craft.

I love your description in the beginning on 'bush fixes'. Never judge someone's poor quality work if you weren't there to see what happened. In the real world sometimes you have to work with what you got, even when it's poor materials, lack of proper tools, limited skills, and a timetable. So many so called 'professionals' don't appreciate real world situations that result in the crap you end up fixing properly. You clearly do. Bravo. And props to the customer who was willing to pay you to fix it properly vs insist you patch up the broken welds.

I don't understand why some people leave a thumbs down for IC Weld. The only thing I can think of is either they're envious of his skills or they don't know what professional work looks like?

The real thing that makes you good is your lack of ego. You just know that your work speaks for itself. I have learned a lot from you.

Was also going to mention the fact that a repair that looks like stock can usually translate to a higher resale price down the road. I bet a seller can make back every penny they pay you to do the super awesome job that you do. Many thanks for sharing you knowledge!

I’m a engineer and this guy has a better understanding of stresses in a repair joint than some of the “expert engineers” I work with.

[Tunzbig]

You are a professional man, love how softly spoken you are and nothing ever seems to be a problem for you,
you are an inspiration for welders and men everywhere.

[VetvsWorld]

First thing I noticed was your work smarter, not harder theme—namely, raise the work to you when possible. Bravo Sir. ✊🏻

[humancattoy]

I truly appreciate your humor and humility. You are a genius and a gentleman.

[russellgilson]

Heat affected zone will get you every time. Your approach to repair speaks to your years of practical first hand experience. Excellent job on all your repairs. Glad the Miller Equipment serves you well!

You sir are my hero. Very skilled. My favorite part about you is that are HUMBLE! You're very good at what you do my friend.

[techbilly]

Mad respect for the way you handle the differing opinions on how to do these repairs.

[gilbertbrewer]

He is good at his work. I weld and repair also. What I like about his videos he is not constantly talking.

[a-fl-man]

you're the rare combination of engineer and fabricator. lots are good at one or the other but the really talented are good at both. if they build aluminum screen enclosures there that use kickplate it comes in 2 thicknesses, .024 and .032. 16" is standard but it's also available in 24 and 36" widths. usually sold in 50' rolls. it makes GREAT pattern "paper", holds it's shape, impervious to water, etc. it's painted bronze or white. easy to cut, tin snips or Wiss, scissors in a pinch but they quickly dull.

I C Weld = Clicking the "thumbs up" even when you just started to watch his video.

[ronaldziehlke]

I love your rather dry self- depricating sense of humor when describing your skill level.

[robertdominiczak]

The reason why some people give a thumbs down is because they think they know better. I’m retired and worked with many welders but this guy is king 🤴
