- We are fitting up top rail on this pipe fence and I’m sharing how I fit up corners on top rail pipe fence.
Do you like lining up the top pipe at the post or in between posts?

Your attitude is absolutely the best! Not having a helper this day most guys would have just not done anything. This is the difference between a self accomplishment and someone who-doesn’t care.
Working alone is great unless it's something you just can't handle alone.
Guess it depends on personal preference.
It’s a good thing you have a video channel. That way the neighbors don’t know you’re talking to yourself - and answering.
What we do on toprail, is set posts' 10ft, then on the third post cut the toprail right in the middle of the saddle, then butt-up the next section of top-rail to it and weld it over the top then around the saddle.....
I have built a lot of pipe fence and I have learned with top Rail and cable to put a root in it and let it cool off then come back and cap it doesn’t wave as much
Your positive upbeat personality is awesome.
Maybe it would be beneficial when building a fence to jack up the middle of the top rail ever so slightly so that when you weld the rail in place, it would take out the bend down in the middle of two posts.
I'm sure you've mentioned it a hundred times before, but why don't you join the top rail at the middle of the posts?
Can’t weld the bottom of the top rail if it’s in the center of the post
This looks like fun! Im in welding school right now. I’ll be getting a placement end of January and then I’ll be starting an apprenticeship!
I found the best way to drag 2 7/8 pipe around is to be 22 years old, I'm 62 now and that stuff is way heavier than I remember back when.😁
I enjoy the can do attitude man I have been stuck on jobs where the help got ran off and I had a deweez bed that helped hold pipe up for me but anyways man keep up the great work god bless you and stay safe
I started welding it up hill, with 6010 or 8010 instead of down, years ago, and now I almost never have any problems with warping.
It also helps with magnetism.
Really loving the videos, I'm thinking about doing pipe fence and stuff after I get my welding degree. There doesn't seem to be any people doing it in my area (Mid-Ohio Valley), there are a lot of farms and stuff that I believe could use it as well.
I'm running some 2 and 7/8s for a fence line here in south Louisiana. 30 foot drill pipe takes a haus to dragg around 😂.
Dam my anxiety kicking in watching you spark up that pipe with all them branches
I have started a few fires like that,. You stop welding or grinding and think what's that noise,. Kind of crackling sound than whoosh!
Great job as always. Watch out for those snakes in that high grass.
👍👍That is a work out. I hope it was not one of those 100F day's. Great stuff, keep the content coming.
Beautiful quality
Austin Ross - freestyle waxin on the fenceline right of way...
Looks good man. You have optimism that is contagious and it's nice to see.
You're very likeable, you know? Kind of a cross between Benny Hill and Boss Hogg.
Bro, this is exactly what I was looking for. Recent Sub, really enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing with us.
Pleasure is all mine
this looks amazing brotha! im just starting out with my own small welding business and im having trouble with labor cost pricing, is there a formula you use to charge the customer? or what would this fence typically cost in just labor if you dont mind me asking. i just dont want to overcharge anyone or screw myself out of money. Thanks man! love the videos! you taught me a bunch already!
Sure looks great Austin, worked out okay today but the helper would have saved some straining. Stay safe and keep up the fun too. Fred.
Great job man👏👏 that top pipe looks just perfect👍
What's your rule of thumb for expansion joints? How long of a continuous run of welded pipe until you would put one in?
Hey Austin great channel I am custom fencer from Saskatchewan I’m a one man show and do 50 mi of barbwire a yard plus a lot of corrals 👍
Awesome video, I always Learn something new every time I watch your videos! Also quick question where do you get your 8010s? Thanks!
Love watching your vids. As DIYer, I've learned a lot from your videos, Thanks 😊
Nice work. So how long are each of those top rail pieces? Yep it would be a terrific to figure out some kind of cart/Dolly/something to move that stuff around with. If you’re ever in a real tight spot, hard to get your body between your work and a bunch of sticker bushes especially, stand up a sheet of plywood to hold back the bushes.
the dolly or cart for hauling pipe is called a grasshopper . Austin could make a light fold up version for himself
Great stuff Austin!! Get you a swamper or a tractor to hump the tubing!!! You'll wear out before your 50!!!
Man I really like your videos. I live in a small town and am pretty much a self taught welder. Mostly structural. Some pipe fence/cattle pens. Been welding for about 6 months. My boss has welded for 20 years. He says I'm better than him and he doesn't know how. I guess I have a knack for it 🤣. Definitely give you some credit tho. Thanks man.
Right on
Awesome video austin! Hey, quick question about seam location. I used to work with a lot of handrail, and we would always position the splice to land on top of the post rather than off to the side like you have done. Is it just preference or have you had the best luck running it that way. Thanks as always!
So this pipe expands in the summer heat. Do you recommend welding that top pipe in the middle of the sunny heat or when it’s cooler weather?
Got a lot of pipeline work coming through nc and seen a couple trucks I’ve seen on your videos
Your positivity is contagious man, I love the videos. Was just curious on if we’re gonna get to see one of the quick rigs built?
I think I seen you pass by Cushing Oklahoma 2 days ago. Is that you
Log dolly!
I struggle with 2 3/8" ... But I got a few years on ya..... And I can't never find a helper.
Good job 👏 , please tell me how to level the whole poles at the same level high? Best regards
I just go with the ground using a string line
@@arosswelding where did you find the saddle template for 2 7/8ths?
Is there some kind of welder's handbook that lists the different kinds of rods, amp range per size, polarity, and best technique ( whip, drag, straight in, etc) ??
The 8010 is totally new to me, I'm not familiar with it at all.
Thanks, I enjoy all the videos.
I need this as well!
Why can’t you cut the pipe where the joint sits right on top of a upright pipe or is that bad so you can tack both sides to the post
My corners don’t look as pretty as yours Austin, I’m a self-taught pipe fence builder. My real job is farming. I just cut the top rail at an angle and set the ends on top of the corner
post and weld it up.
Why do you hit it with she big hammer before cutting
To help clean the inside of rust and debris so it will cut better.
What about fire ? Thank you for the video
Nice work,,,,,,,. You don't use the t peices instead of welding?
👍👍👍
Do you grind down to clean metal on each weld point or just burn thur the rust
Great video Austin! Do you ever put expansion joints in you horizontal runs to allow for thermal expansion and if so what length justifies expansion joints? Thanks from Arkansas!
Do you put any rebar T's in the concrete footings at the bottom of the up rights? Do you have to treat the part of the up rights posts that is in contact with the concrete or ground?
Do you service Louisiana so when I buy my 2 acres I can have the top rail fence installed
Not at the moment, we hope to travel to do jobs at some point.
2 and 7/8s pipe?
2 1/2” nominal
@@aaronthompson6343 2 1/2" nominal. aka 2 1/2 NPS (nominal pipe size). Meaning the pipe size is called 2 1/2 while the outside dimension is 2 7/8 while the inside dimension changes depending upon the schedule size of the pipe. There's charts you can look up for this for all pipe sizes. Doesn't apply to tubing though.
@@joeygalvez I stand corrected sir.
Who paints the fence?
The land owner hasn’t asked us to do it. So he might do it or he’ll have it done.
@@arosswelding Joebama is making sure there are plenty of fence painters! Thousands per day!!
Could you put a sleeve inside that top rail to aline it?
That's how I was told to do it and how I'm installing mine currently. 2 3/8 fits inside 2 7/8 pretty nicely.
Where do you find all this used oil field pipe at? Do you go out to the drill yourself and pick it up?
There are places that deal in used drill pipe.
I see ads in those free "shopper" papers.
Use propane instead of acetylene to cut that rusty pipe!! Cheaper too!! And it won't harden the cuts!!!
Seeing you heft that 2-7/8 make me cringe. Like an old timer I worked with used to say, “Boy, liftin’ thet heavy pipe ‘ill make ya give blind babies”. 😎
