BUILDING AN ANGLE GATE WITH NO ANGLE FINDER OVER A CATTLE GUARD (PLUS COST OF THE JOB)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2022
- Little different project than the usual but one that comes up from time to time. We needed to build an angle gate over an installed cattle guard at a property entrance. I’ll share how I did so without an angle finder and, at the end, talk a bit about the cost of the job. Come along with me on-site for a little change of pace.

Free style projects can be interesting, innovative, and educational.
Thanks Austin !
this measurement method is my preferred, if there's no print to follow then its gonna be what fits best for the application, thanks buddy
Good job buddy
a lot of the guys don't realize what it takes to run a small business of any sort that keeps the family and all the associated running and fed
Doing it as a hobby occasionally and supporting your lifestyle is totally different mentally and physically
Hi Austin, each video bring me a new ideas about welding projects, thank for share them, best regards
I went a little fancier 😁 Had trespassers after a few warnings ignore me so I made an angled 30' gate. Concreted in an I-Beam, Used 2" round with 2 pillow block bearing and Dom tubing I had from building race car cages. The gate opens with one finger and more of a visual but it ended my trespassers.
I actually trussed the top about 3/4 of the way down to keep it level. 30' is a long gate and it does work well, didn't want to mess with 2 posts and gates since we move wide equipment down the driveway. End post is removable for the gate to close against. Love what you do Austin.
Sounds like an awesome gate!!
Not gonna lie chief that was too long to read lol
Grateful for you and Kayla's videos, I started my own land management business, mainly welding and building fence. It has been very hard getting off the ground, and with the rain we are getting here in Oklahoma. Just wanted to say thanks and many blessings to you and Ms Kayla 🙏
Thanks for sharing Austin, it's great to be able to trade work off so both feel they got top wages for time nd money spent. That worked good for me a lot of times over the years too. Stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.
You put out some enjoyable, knowledgeable videos, Thanks!
That’s right buddy it is all in the deal you’re a good man thanks for all your knowledge sharing it to
could not figure what an Angle Gate was...darn UA-cam type setters......always good....Paul
Sometimes you got to break out the eyechrometer.😂 👁️
As always a good job
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Rusty, rustic and nice job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just want to say Austin you are one of my personal inspirations to size my dreams I was just recently accepted by my local plumbers pipe fitters union where I’m hoping to specialize as a pipe fitter/welder so thank you
Great job.
Love it! Thanks for making this video! Would love to see more of these mobile farm jobs. Also if you could make some railing videos (specifically railings up stairs with some sort of landing at the top) that would be very appreciated.
thank you for sharing and good job
This is funny. I’m fixing to install a cattle guard myself. Went to Woodward Ok to pick one up.
Thank you for sharing sir.
Hey. How are you adjusting for higher then usual fuel cost sir
Thanks for calling it what it is. A cattle guard. Not a Texas gate not a auto gate. A cattle guard.
🔥 AWESOME 🔥
I always free hand my saddles on tubing , if I'm cutting it off straight I'll use a wrap around . I have gap rods for the close enough gaps
I was going mention that i hope you are a better welder than a camera man but when i saw your torch sparks and slag spraying on the gas hoses answered my question.
Nice job brother. I might suggest, instead of the gate riding on the weld of the pipe hinge, that you weld a steel collar with a decent thickness for it to ride on, otherwise, overtime that gate will start to wear through the weld and compromise it. Love your work man. God bless.
What would be valuable content for me is a series of exercises & a then a method or scale to evaluate my performance in terms of a couple of different criteria. That way I could practice basic skills in a more concise and organized manner.
The whole coping thing? It makes me happy! :)
I am a dyi guy and still learning basic welding
Great video Austin, any recommendations on pipe vendors in Houston area? I know everything is high right, with “the times.” Just looking to build simple pipe fence around my place.
Not knowing much about welding i think two types of school just the basic for sometime welders. Advance course for people who weld more often love your videos
I made one of these about 20 years ago across a wide entrance at a road intersection to keep people out who were dumping trash. About two weeks later, an intoxicated woman ran the intersection and hit the angle gate. She knocked the cross bar off and hit the rail with the front of the engine hood. Fortunately I made it out of 2-3/8 tubing which flexed and she drove completely under it smashing the front hood, windshield and top of the car. Then she put it in reverse and smashed the trunk and rear windshield!!! The County Sheriff called me at work the following morning to come out and unlock the gate so they could retrieve the car. It was a mess but still drivable. She didn't have a scratch. If I had made it out of 2-7/8 she would have probably decapitated herself. Bartlesville, OK
I'm a ferm believer in trading work, it's very beneficial.
Looks real good. Where did you get that protractor? Thanks
Thanks
Do a course about the business side of working for yourself how to bid jobs , calculate materials and time
We have the same torch handle, found out it has internal blow back resistors preventors. After you marked your pipe you hit it with your hammer was that just to checking for rust?
I’m 18 going into college to learn welding I like too watch and learn haha
you crack me up! a welder using a carpenters claw hammer! 😂
Looks like another fine job.
Gotta love cutting on that old rusty pipe! Keep up the good work and be safe.
Looks good… Except I would have come off the end of the cattle guard so we didn’t lose that foot of width because implements have a way of being just a couple inches too wide for gaps
Question where do u get your clips for barbed wire
Did that horizontal top pipe try to warp when you welded the long joint of the
diagonal pipe to the top piece ?
I think a good online course would be "how to actually find/get clients that want stuff like in this video".
hey Ross what's an andle gate? have you or anyone noticed that on your intro to the video. or is there such a thing as andle gate. keep up the good videos. I travel to great places in my mind when I watch them
Cattle guard should've had a ramp up to it. Its going to set in water. Also mine is 8×20 ft. My cattle jump it. I'll ad about 4 ft to it next. Good video
The owner wanted nothing fancy.
Hourly rate plus material Ross ?
Building a welding bed like the one on your truck
So I’m going to welding school in about a year and I was wondering if you need all your certifications to do jobs like this or could I just go get trained/certified for pipe and do that as my main job with side jobs like gates and such?
Certificates are worth nothing, to put it simply. Kinda harsh, but true. From a journeyman, any company you apply to will not care about a school certification, a piece of paper saying you can weld isn’t the same as being able to weld, they want to see it. Each place you go to or each job you go to will test you. You can’t show up with your paper and expect them to let you weld. You’ll certify through that company to weld for them. Odds are when you’re an old man you won’t be able to count how many bend tests you’ve taken bro. As for this video, I doubt his customer asked to his welding certification lol. Common misconception in this trade.
@Kane Kent Testify.
Cattle-guard hint:
Build you an elevated concrete pad with a sump and open sides.
When it rains, dirt and debris wash out.
Extend your pipe fence a good two feet towards the center over the guard each side to prevent the clever ones from "reaching around" earning themselves a Golden Ticket for a one-day tour of Freezer Camp!
I have actually seen cows do that and escape.
Ima remember that one -“a one way ticket to freezer camp”
Do you have a coarse for someone who wants to learn basic welding. I work with wood fencing and I’d like to learn to weld metal frames for my gates. I am not interested in pipeline welding or aluminum or stainless steels or underwater welding just the basic. Like what to buy and how to use it. Is that something you offer? I’d also eventually like to learn to do iron fence work and how to weld on that.
We do not currently offer a course like this but we have it on our list to make.
@@arosswelding I went to a welding school and the instructor told me I don’t need to attend school for what I am looking for. He said you just need to find someone who can teach you the basics but I haven’t found someone yet or a course yet
@@arosswelding it’s a inch and a quarter square tubing what I’m trying to work with to make my gate frames. Ok I’ll keep watching out for it thanks
Hey bro how do you get jobs?
Will you ever go to mig as your go to welding?
I’n the shop it’s the way to go for sure.
🤓👍
This might be worth a shot but I’m currently enrolled in Universal Technical Institute for welding and I’m trying to find work for when I graduate in 2 months so if anyone who comes across this knows a good place to find work or you have work for me let me know!
hi another great videos wait each week for your show.but there are things I can not understand?why do you have so many different types of welding wire, or are these left over from your pipe line days, for the type of welding you are doing you only need 3/32",1/8",5/32" 6010,6011,7018. when are you going to start working like a welder and get rid of that old carpenters hammer and get a chipping hammer? If you get a chance check out the chipping hammer Jason from Fireball tool is now making? now keep welding and making money and videos? thank you gene638?
Are you still doing pipeline jobs? Or have you gotten enough business doing fences and gates?
You’ve gotta typo in the thumbnail! Just a heads up
The most dangerous type of gate on the planet, no spear protection!!!
Shouls explain how a "cattle guard" works. Not all viewers come from farm country. Thanks.
I cant see what the hell your DOING????
