I bought an 70 year old Walker Turner 16" bandsaw. While taking it apart to replace some bearings, I found that one of the castings was cracked. I videoed the repair, my first real cast iron repair welding.

Great Vid.. Good call on the short welds and peening. You did everything right. Nice work.

HA HA 3:12 "always good to have the ground strap hooked up to the work piece"<<<<I'm constantly forgetting the ground and at the end and "Do you best and grind the rest", yup been there to,,, also caulk and paint make it what it ain't. Those die grinders are a necessary evil, those burs are like tiny metal splinters but they sure can remove a lot of material in tight spaces, nice video thanks for sharing.

I really like the editing and conciseness of the video. The narration is very good. Well done!

joeu235,
The context of the post tells me that was your channel and you welding in the video. I tried to subscribe but couldn't through the embedded video and couldn't find it on youtube. Would you help me out?
