This is living proof that the elderly can provide a huge contribution to society. The old master is living his twilight years in dignity in the firm knowledge that his skills are being passed down to the next generation. The rich industrialised nations disrespect the wisdom and knowledge of their elders which leads to fragmentation of the family support structure.

Most people watching this dont have the appreciation for this kind of repair.They just think oh hes just welding. Not understanding the difference with cast.I hope i can reach this level of repair before i die. Much respect.

Many years ago my grandfather told me that cracked cast iron engine blocks would be heated in a kiln to cherry red. Then the crack would be grooved and welded. The engine block was then surrounded by an insulating material and allowed to slowly cool over several days. He claimed these blocks were actually stronger then freshly cast blocks.

That is a legit cast iron block repair. Well done!!
-
I'm a veteran cast iron welder and I have to say this guy is about as good as they come!I think he's using propane fuel which is the best way to go.I'm impressed!
-
Well that gets a salute from me. The accuracy that the fill metal was laid down and the way it seemed to all hang together during the machining. The old guy has 'the touch'.
-
I've been an engineer for 50 year. That is excellent workmanship with the tools available. A job well done. incredible welding. Cast iron is really hard to learn without getting cracks.
-
I've been in Pakistan and watched these guys at work. Their craftsman ship is really awesome. All done with the most basic tools, too.
-
This guy has amazing skills, I thought I could braze, but he is the best I have ever seen

When i was teaching oxy welding we would teach then how to weld cast iron with super silicon the same as being shown here, it's 1 of them old skills that are being forgotten, kudos gent's from australia

That is the first time l have ever seen a block tooled with a grinder. You really have to know your craft to weld cast iron. Too hot the metal disintegrates, too cool the weld won't take. A black smith taught me how , he could do it by the color of the iron, l never could get it just right. The man here is an artist 👌

Pretty impressive what these men can do with very minimal resources and tools, starting with the man that did the brazing. If anyone has ever tried working with/welding cast, they can attest to just how dang difficult it is!! Respect to these men!!!
-
It’s absolutely amazing what these people can do using worn out tools and poor working conditions.There talents are really something. Great video.
-
repairing a cast block is a real artform especially in such a rudimentary way. I really admire the skills.
-
In many places, that block would have been junked. It's satisfying to see these people working to give added life to this particular component. -- Selangor, Malaysia

For those of you that don't know this cast iron is very difficult to weld, not sure if this will hold up but the fact that it looks good and there are no obvious cracks is impressive.

Просто восхищаюсь, в таких условиях выполнить такую сложную работу, с чугуном, нет слов, просто молодцы золотые руки 👍👍👍💪💪💪

This man is an artist. If you ever tried to welde cast iron, you will be able to judge his abilities. Congrats from Germany.
-
This kind of craftsmanship can never be replaced by a robot, so far.😮

The comments were spot on for the skills shown, wow! Great video that just shows what can done and how if you endeavor. Hats off to all that get the job accomplished
