Massive Repair on BROKEN Bulldozer Blade | Part 1 | Gouging & Welding

I don't even have a bulldozer. I have no idea why I am watching the entire thing....

Pretty darn good cutting job! Nice and straight.

I know this is an every day thing for you, but its amazing watching someone cut and shape massive plates of steel.

What percentage of a new blade did this excellent work cost?

I collect teeth for cat dozers by the container load and they're exported worldwide

U don’t pre heat bis 80 mate …

Please use a push stick to set your blocking. I know the chain is tough but I can’t imagine that bucket would take it easy on a mans arms. These videos are my favorite. Thanks brother.

Fascinating repair, not the normal video I'd watch. I was surprised at the lack of internal vertical structure, such as gussets or ribs, to provide additional strength and rigidity, though my background is architecture and not engineering.

I’m going to stick with laying tiles for now 🫠

As Boilermaker myself your bloody good mate. Well done for starting this channel.

Found my new favorite channel! Getting to be a lost art around us. Many things have become disposable here because of lack of skilled people. Got a man crush! Haha

I really miss welding on this scale. My body just won't let me anymore.

I remember when Discovery Channel would have decent programs like this, now its just crappy Xzibit car restoration and anceint aliens.

Why did you not but a bevel on and a root face in your but joints that went on the side? Just curious

What do you charge for a repair like that? Per hour or per job?

Great video. Thanks.

OSHA might not require it, but it might be beneficial to wear respiratory protection for ALL welding and even oxy-acetylene cutting.

bevel??

I'm always amazed at the work you do. Well done.
I am a little curious why carbon arc gouging and then torch cut? Why not arc or just torch, why both.

Thats not a massive job thats a baby dozer blade

Get Homie a job with FedEx..

After watching the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining machines like this, I understand why my old man always said that the stock market is the closest man has gotten yet to alchemy. Creating stupendous amounts of money out of thin air. Humanity always wanted it easy

long time follower on FB. enjoying. you tube content so much more

excellent job mate.greetings from sweeden.👋👋👋👋

What happened to the white yard crane?

How much do those things cost? Like how can this be worth it.

As a welding student, i'm very fascinated with real work, and alto this seems like ALOT of work, it looks fun as hell :)

Who watches these.
1: Actual fabricators and maintenance of heavy machinery - 00.000000001%
2. A bunch of people that have never held a gas cutter, welder, or driven or used heavy machinery in their life - 99.99999999%

Now if it was me repairing this blade I'd need Hatty Potters wand.

Great Workmanship
What type of wire did u use ?
Why not 7018 ?

Great video as always

I would trust this man's tack welds, over my full welding, with my life lol

Cut a small notch in bender so your gauge can fit under when bending

100% penetration!

Dank je wel Wouter😊

It blows my mind that in a world where it has become cheaper to replace something outright that to try and repair an old one, that you somehow can do the majority of your work for cheaper than the client can purchase a new one.

What's the reason for holding the torch against something when you're turning the gas feed up? And with the backing strip for a full pen weld, is this as you can run hotter and tie into that vs having to bridge the gap and then losing a bit of depth if using no backing strip?

This is in my top 5 favorite CEE repair videos. The fact the material is mm's thick and heavy just makes the repair even more impressive. It is a good demonstration of our Australian can do attitude. Keep up the good work mate 😎👍

i can smell every single minute of this video🥵 really good job! i’ve started a marathon and watch all your videos

One in a million. Sheer skill.

was that some sort of magnetic pounder you placed on the left section of the blade? it amazed me seeing it work so efficiently and with enough ease to control.

I love the way you treat your dog ❤❤

My man out here casually breathing those sandings dust 😂😂😂😂😂😂 protect your lungs my brother 🫶🫶 wear a mask or something.

Is it even worth saving?
