Mini Excavator Blade Repair

Hey guys, well, here's a small little project that is one of those necessary things. Everything wears out and needs maintenance and rebuilding on occasion.

Tracing out the flat bar to make duplicate angle cuts was genius. Thanks for the great video.

Isaac, I've been watching your videos for a couple years now. I don't weld or fabricate for a living, I just tinker with stuff. Your comment about leaving that bit of uncut meat when making the second pass was exactly what I was wondering how that metal doesn't end up getting bowed. You're a master of your craft and your viewers and myself appreciate you and your content.

Great job and keep it up 😊.

Hi I c weld You are my favorite YouTube welding channel. I like watching yourself because you teach a lot of people how to do it the right way and instead the wrong way.

A simple little job and video yes but two little gems of tips. 1. Leave a tab when cutting a strip of steel to avoid the piece bowing/bending away as you cut. 2. Rather than mark every angle to be nipped off, chalk line the table of the notcher to aid repeating the angles. Always something to learn from your videos young man. Top stuff as usual!

Your clients are lucky to have you servicing them. You always go the extra mile to ensure their equipment will function for a long time. Good to see your shop supervisor running around in the background and making sure you’re not lolly gagging and taking shortcuts….😂😂😂😂😂.

I got a good chuckle when you exclamed "whoa that's pretty thin". We've all been there.

Love watching your videos ❤ I'm 78 and was a welder for a little over 50 years doing a lot of the same repairs they are great and go a long ways in demostrationing proper procedures for young Welders. 😊

Thanks again Isaac it doesn't need to be a huge tower crane or drilling machine it all comes down to watching You repair something that needs your touch however small or huge . A repair is a repair and without your wit and humour it would be a boring video . Many thanks always something to learn from you .😊

Isaac, the nice thing about your videos are that they are "real world" non-classroom jobs. Even though this initially looked to be a cut and dry job the worn/thin metal with crud thrown in brought out the masters touch to get it done right. It's all the little tricks (eg leaving the tab on the plate cut) you've learned that make this channel gold.

The best and most informative welding channel on YouTube!

First non-miracle required job we’ve seen in a while. Thanks for sharing, as always enjoy your videos.

I haven’t done any welding since 1985 when I left the farm, it certainly has changed
Your work ethic is the best part of the video.
Thank you Sir

[jwaterous]

What we are looking at here is the most patient welder on YouTube. Those passes over the line were very challenging and he nailed it!

[stillraven]

Thanks for the close up welds. I know it's harder, but I enjoy it a lot.
