Enjoyed the daylights out of the video. I like plasma for its ability to make a precision, guided, cut. As well as plasma does for other things, I'd really encourage you to try a scarfing tip for washing out welds. I believe it does a much better job than a plasma gouging tip. O/A is still absolutely relevant. Take care, and be safe

Quite a big job that and your crane is clearly a great tool and asset to have. I wish we had service trucks here in the UK Like you guys have in the US. Grinders, entirely your own fault young man if you get injured when you take off the guard and handle and put them in the bin or on a shelf. I see so many videos and people using grinders in an unsafe manner. Rarely if ever, do need to remove a guard for access. The guard directs sparks and materials away from you and gives you control over where sparks go. Not only that, in the event of a kick back, it saves you from serious injury to fingers, hands wrists, arms and potentially other parts of the body. Grinder handle, helps give you control, leverage, pressure and saves you from serious injury to your body (as above) because the grinder cannot easily twist or snap out of your grip. Just because it is small, doesn't make it safer than a 9inch grinder to handle. I do however accept that in some rare instance the handle can get in the way. Nothing on this video would excuse not using a guard or a handle young man. All discs on grinders are spinning between 10-20,000 rpm and as you know by experience and injury that you are not always going to get away from it fast enough. How many injuries and you haven't learned? I got a spark on my right eyeball in 1997, the minor surgery to have that spark removed has never left me. I had no safety glasses on, no guard on the grinder and only my stupidity to prevent injury. It didn't work. Luckily, my eye recovered after a month and is still good. I learned a very unpleasant lesson that day. Anyway, all that being said, what great job, great video and another example of your brilliant skills young man!

I'm not even a minute in. The re-bar! Concrete guy here, poured walls. It blows me away....folks look at that re-bar and think strong!! And it is, just not the way folks think. Re-bar is the cheapest of the cheap...pig iron. Good for reinforcement in concrete and that's just about it. Zero tensile strength. It will bend in a circle before it breaks but again...no real tensil strength. I guess it could maybe be used to fill a gap....but none of us should be dealing with that kind of gap....and if we are...good luck to ya. Interesting anyway! Going back now.

Rebar is definitely not pig iron, which is very brittle, the opposite of bending in a circle without breaking. Rebar (like pretty much all standard-grade steel) is made from mostly recycled steel and comes in various grades/strengths from low-carbon to high-carbon, just like the nice steel plates he is using.
