wow I'm a fabricater 30 years now and i can tell you put your heart and soul into your work you don't see that much anymore most people just do it for the paycheck great job sir
thank you very much for the comment. I had the top rolled at a place called advanced bending here in Calgary, but I am working on building my own roller hydraulically driven so it's easier to have forward and reverse. I'm going to try and build it as simple as simple can be so that you people out there UA-cam land or more than welcome to copy the design I may try using a power steering pump powered by electric motor which are very inexpensive and easy to find used
I welded a round plate on the end of the 4" and then a short 1" stub on the back of plate which goes into the jaws. I have several different size jigs for turning rings.
i love this video ! some thing new i learned today... ¿can you do a video on how to DIY bend top arch on your gate "square pipe "? i dont have a bender can i use a car wheel
Nice! I also like the hinge design. Is that a square block , solid? I made some hinges, but spend a lot of time turning to make the pins, this is much simpler
the gate you see is 10' long. Outside frame is 2x1 rectangular tube 100' wall. All inside material is 065' wall go keep the weight down. I suspect you will be building a longer gate for a driveway. I have done single gates up to 15.5' long, but I use 2×2"×100' tubing for the outside frame and all internal tubing is 065'. THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT IS THE POST IT IS HANGING FROM!!!DON'T USE A WOODEN POST!!!!!GO STEEL!!!! Good luck. If you email me I will send you plans for some awesome adjustable hinges. waynedartist@live.ca
wow glad I stumbled across your videos you do really nice work. great looking gate. Say how did you role your top bar to the gate. Look forward to more fab videos
I've got to make myself one of these. Can you publish some specs on what you are using? I need to make a lot of rings to weld up with my powerarc soon.
Hi Wayne ! My name is Ian. I use two sizes of rings for my application - 5 and 6 inches diameter from square tubing 0.5 x 0.5 inches. I bay them from Metal Supply Store, but they all time different and it make a big problem for me. Your machine is my dream, not less !!! To make a ring 0.5 x 1, I double and weld two rings together. It is no problem to find power drive, but what you think, it can roll 0.5 x 0.5 and 0.5 x 1 inch square tubing, 5 and 6 inches diameter? All your video lessons it just awesome. Thank you
+ian shwartzman Thanks for the comments. you have to have a travelling guide when rolling circles from square tube because it will have a tendency to twist sideways. the guide will keep the walls of the tubing vertical. with round material it doesn't matter.
Great job looks really nice, you and I have the same work ethic I like to use jigs and your right about not measuring with a tape "accumulation of tolerances" It can bite you in the ass, I passed up a Rigid threaded machine on let go for a $100 I kicked my self in the ass .....Great build
Like another guy said you seem to love what you do as it shows in your workmanship. How much do you charge for a Gate this size to make it and install it. I'm from New South Wales Australia.
Maybe .125-.188. By the time I cut them with a zip disc they are fairly snug around my mandrill. The only way to have them tight is to roll them hot; which will open up a big can of worms getting them off.
Thank you for the info and for posting the video in the first place. Here's a video of my first try at rolling rings with my threader. ua-cam.com/video/RWBxC1Ry9lA/v-deo.html
Sir, do you use thin wall stock for all of the components? I ask because I have to make a gate for my farm and while I am an excellent Sheep Rancer and a decent farm blacksmith I think I'm going to be crap on gates. Thank you in advance.

You just made my job easier I've been forging my rings for ever thanks for the great idea
Nice looking gate enjoyed your video

Perfect example of working smarter not harder.....well played sir!!
Awesome and true tips. Thank You for sharing.
I welded a round plate on the end of the 4" and then a short 1" stub on the back of plate which goes into the jaws. I have several different size jigs for turning rings.
I am using a rigid 300 pipe threader. Amazing torque but a little too fast. Going to reduce speed and increase torque with chain and sprockets.
Also have a look at the use of an old car gear box and an old Diff for forming different shapes and also twisting cold Square and flat bar.
I could really make good use of rings like that. If I weld them up with my everlast welder on a gate I'm planning they would look great.
COLOMBIA .BUEN TRABAJO .NICE WORK . THANKS
I learned something new today. I would like to be able to make some rings for some fencing I will be welding with my everlast welder.
Nice work , Thanks for the video.
I love your work am also a welder sri
Very nice sir.

Good method and nice work. Thanks.

Have the gates galvanised first then powder coat I know it's more expense but make a good job no rust problems
Love the old school tips
the gate you see is 10' long. Outside frame is 2x1 rectangular tube 100'

Nice work Sir.
Mc Sailor how can I meet u Mr saulor
I could really use some rings to weld with my everlast welder on my next project
wow glad I stumbled across your videos you do really nice work. great looking gate. Say how did you role your top bar to the gate. Look forward to more fab videos
Great video. I want to weld up some ornamental iron with my everlast it never occurred to me that I could make my own rings. Great gate project.
Are your pickets solid?
Thank you, that's very informative. What is electric motor/rotor power are you using or are you recommending?
I've got to make myself one of these. Can you publish some specs on what you are using? I need to make a lot of rings to weld up with my powerarc soon.
good ideas
👍👍👍👍

we have the iron accessories for your welding workshop. if you need it, can contact with me. thanks

Get a foot pedal for better control. Nice setup .
Is galvanizing gates not a big thing in the states, it cures the rust problems out of the gate
If every joint isn't totally welded, galvanizing doesn't necessarily get into all the crevices..
How did you set up the 4 inch pipe to go into 2 inch threading machine?
If you look closely, you can see a weld on the end of the pipe, which would obviously have a centered 2" piece welded to it as a reducer.
How much spring back do you get? Meaning how much bigger is the I.D of the rings than the O.D of the pipe you roll them around?
Maybe .125-.188. By the time I cut them with a zip disc they are fairly snug around my mandrill. The only way to have them tight is to roll them hot; which will open up a big can of worms getting them off.
@@idiotradar1 thank you! I just purchased an old Beaver model A threader for cheap and I want to start making mandrels for the rings I need.
Thank you for the info and for posting the video in the first place. Here's a video of my first try at rolling rings with my threader. ua-cam.com/video/RWBxC1Ry9lA/v-deo.html
USE POR 50 primer and never ever have rust
Sir, do you use thin wall stock for all of the components? I ask because I have to make a gate for my farm and while I am an excellent Sheep Rancer and a decent farm blacksmith I think I'm going to be crap on gates. Thank you in advance.
Welder Wayne did you use hot rolled steel?
Max Jerome
Yes, the rings were hot rolled 3/8" solid round.
Nicely done.
