Metal Louver Gate Build | JIMBO'S GARAGE

- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- I welded this metal louver gate for a client. This gate was not designed by me so it is always a challenge bringing someone someone else's vision to life. This was a fun metal project and I think it turned out great.

About Jimbo's Garage:
Jimbo's Garage is a channel to watch real metal, steel, welding and wood projects.
I have to say your work ethic is admirable. Your willingness to share a mistake is rare in todays world. But the end result is worth the wait. If I could give 2 thumbs up, I would.
Grease fittings are not needed on the hinges. I have over 60 year old greenhouse doors which are open several times each day with the same weld on hinge. The only thing is that you have to replace the brass washer every 15 to 20 years, then put some grease inside and your done. They never made any noises, except when you slam them.
Happy holidays to everybody from Germany!
how do we know you are from Germany? could you prove it?
That welding table is SUPERB!
I like this guy, hes not afraid to own up to his mistakes.
I'd like your honesty , not to many welders accepts their mistakes and you did. I salute you for that👍
Jimbos garage do not be afraid to turn the amperage up on your mig set, the flat bar can take the heat, this will help get the throat length of your T fillets more flat. Good fabrication work 👍👨🏭
"This is a design designed by the designer"😂😂
Im retired and took welding as a hobby, learning a lot from you! Thanks!
Respect for calling out your mistakes. We all make them. Nice job as well
Ow wow Jimbo, thanx for sharing all your knowledge and expertise, I have made many square tube gates in the past and many times wondered how the professionals do it. You are AWESOME.
Like that pinstriping pinky move😁👍
Subscribed for that cut orientation mistake at 2:32 and how you made it part of the story, thanks for the honesty and the work you put into your videos, Jimbo.
I wish you knew how much inspiration I get from you to do my own projects Jimbo. Thank you for sharing.
Wearing my Jimbo's Garage t-shirt while I watch this.
helpful tip for everyone. add a little bit of anti seize lubricant to your grinder arbor shafts for easy disc changing without tool. even when the disc gets snagged, it'll be super easy to release the nut
The welds holding on the hinges looked pretty good. Nice table by the way.
I’m a carpenter and just getting into the welding world, love this channel. Gonna drop the hammer on a R tech mig and a nice table like yours, looking forward to getting stuck in and building a security gate for my garage.
That welding table sure makes that job easier.
one word... PERFECT
What a nice gate, and your welding table is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Vienna 🇦🇹 part time Floridian
Regarding the rubber plugs. Their OK if you are going to paint your project black. If you are going with another color they will be hard to miss. I use the plugs electricians use to fix a steel box when they punch out the wrong hole. They can be powder coated. If your coater says in can't be done show him how they can be racked up with a magnet on the end of a heavy (coathanger) wire.
Thanks for all the hard work making these videos. You have helped me become a better welder and fabricator . Btw, thank you for the Mercer abrasives flaps. I love them. I’m going to order a couple of your shirts to wear on my job sites
It’s 4am in the morning and I can’t sleep so I’m watching your Channel because it’s one of the best on UA-cam and you’re not frightened to let people know that you made a mistake we all do it at times keep the videos coming
Nice gate mate, i used to make steel doors and windows every day and one tip with the weld on hinges is to use a piece of rod the same id as the hinge pins that can go through all hinges as you tack/ weld them on.. (so in this case a piece of rod several feet long) this is so the hinge centres are in alignment and the gate isnt trying to fight itself as it opens/closes as what we saw is that over time they can break due to fatigue, we also welded both sides of hinge if possible. Hope this helps! Nice work
Thanks for being honest about your mistakes. So many craftsmen (women) would have “edited” that one right off the bat.
Best workshop table I’ve seen to date!
Jiggy Jimbo! 🤘🏼
You do a real nice job on the projects, presentation and editing. Fun to watch.
I don't think I could ever go back to an abrasive disc chop saw.
that table is a life saver 😜
must say your workshop & tools are my dreams working place ... keep it up & stay safe
If you had a welder you could just weld the pieces back together. And then you have what you needed to work with again.awesome video
Hey Jim, time to build a small gantry above your weld table and use a chain-fall to move some of that heavy stuff. Future project 👍
The overhead garage door is above part of that welding table, plus the roof joists would need to be reinforced. Time to move to a commercial building with more overhead and a lot more room, for features such as a gantry with chain-fall.
Love your work Jimbo, I'm just learning to weld with no one to guide or teach me. There's a lot of info on you tube but I watch your channel the most. Your such an inspiration, thank you for all your time and effort in making these video's, by you showing mistakes it gives me more confidence in my work. I used to go nuts when I make a mistake like it's the end of the world hehehe. Thanks Jimbo 👍. Your AWSOME!
Beautiful gate.
That sir, is a badass gate.🔥
Hey Jimbo, I look up to you brother. You have a creative mind with an awesome trade. Love watching your video's!
That's a mighty fine gate sir.
Turned out alright at the end, great work.
@ 7:36 Jesus Jimbo, I see you're wearing your Chinese safety boots again. 😎
Gate looks super cool 👍🏽💪🏿
hell of a job man, you defenetly are an inspiration to jump into welding dude! great videos and content.
I am truly inspired 👌🏾👊🏾
Very nice work table . Very nice !
Nice work..... For grinding down smooth..................And so easy with the beautiful table.............I would have cut the steel tube for the frame "short" to leave gaps at the mitre corners . The gap depends on how you weld , but no more than the tube wall thickness maybe towards half thickness???? Easy to fill and get near full "penetration" Which matters When grinding down for a lovely beadless SMOOTH Pro finnish. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN A GREAT DEAL LESS DISTORTION STRESSES AND PULLING AS THE WELD IS "IN THE METAL" NOT ON ONE SIDE........... Bevelling all those joints would be soooooo much more work top notch setup and squaring great product you are a tidy worker
Magic 👐
Knees, back, shoulder while working. Look into exoskeletons. Search for suitX I recently ran across them. They are expensive but will help.
Great looking gate Jim!
Great video with good description of work being done
Keep posting!
Wow your work is first class mate
Love that your fabricate
Nice Job.
Que bien trabajas amigo eres muy bueno y tus trabajos tambien
The welding table is an amazing add to your shop, how did you get by without it. 😎
Looks good
Great job.
That gate turned out great. I love your welding table. ⚒
Good idea to use that disk to remove the rust, congratulations you make great videos
Knowing me I wouldn't have noticed the mistake till it was done! O how I want that table!
Good job and nice work table
I find when I want a lower profile weld for aesthetic reasons like ok the louvers here I can get a much flatter we'd pushing vs pulling. Pulling penetrates better, but the push sits flatter on the surface in butts and fillets.
I made the same gate imagine having a 35 louver of a 2.5 x 1/4 flat bar. It was so heavy that it did bend the rectangular frame upon installation so I have to provide a roller with springs to easy the burden on my hinges and the frame itself
On gates that I weld up I always put the weld seam on the tube towards the inside and the bottom tube I face down. Just my preference for aesthetics. Nice gate though man.
I’m glad I’m not the only one making mistakes like that xD
Very good table
Perfect process Jimbo 👌 also i saw some Russian and chechnians gates they are super nice too
Awesome job Jimbo. Keep up the good work.
Very nice work! I live in Ukraine, also a welder, unfortunately I can not afford such equipment. Always dreamed of working in the states)!
You are very skilled welder...congratulations
Jimbo I’m impressed with your work but until I saw your welds on the hinges I was not impressed with your welds I will shut my mouth though sir you showed some very skilled welds I think the fact that I do G.M.A.W for a living I’m always looking for the dimes, good job jimbo I subscribed
I like your Birkenstock’s in the fab shop👍
So clean process great job.. happy Holy days!!!
Nice clean work
I like your grinder stand. Having not yet looked through your video list, have you made a "how-to" video of your stand?
If not, perhaps a short video showing the details of the stand. I use several grinders in my shop, (to save time switching attachments), and can see the benefit in making a few of those style stands.
I appreciate your video efforts sharing your skills. Thank you, ahead of time, should you decide to detail your stand.
Beautiful!
I know I keep saying it, but you do really good work.
Not sure why people think welds are ugly. Good welds look great.
Real good job, so professional and highly precise.
Are those steel-toed Birkenstocks? 😂
Norman LMAO Socks and Birks are a bold choice for sure!
I had similar gates made like that for my driveway gates. We had to weld spacers inbetween each louver as teh material would flex in the wind and make quite a whistle.
Nice project
nice one jimbo,gate looks great ,would like to thank you for all the vids you have uploaded this year ,its been a good one,wishing you and the family a very merry christmas ,and a very happy prosperous new year.........all the best.................dougie
Nice work mate
lol. I have certainly made that mistake a few times. Throw it on the saw, cut your 45's, only to find out they are on the wrong sides. For me, and the fact that I use square tubing so much, it does not matter what side you cut it on. But that's certainly not the case with rectangular tubing. It does not forgive.
Great video Mr Jimbo. Love that welding table.
Ficou ótimo
You are having and mind blowing workshop sir, woow really awesome workshop
Extraordinario su trabajo
Are you wearing socks with sandles.... lol 🔥
Those are safety sandals he's wearing, I also wear them.🙂
@@markevans3027 well in "Jimbos" defense the are "leather" sandles lol

Welding tips and tricks ! He sounds like that guy
First time coming across your channel, was curious how you bid a job like that. Also, loved your grinder holder on the magnet! Appreciate you taking time to video your project. Take care.
Am ah arch welder from St vincent in the Caribbean I look at ur program very often going throw the regular disc need ah few like urs
Good job
Great video!
Hello I live your videos! I learn alot from them. Where can I get a table like that one??
very nice job
That's a very nice video; thanks, sir. Do you think using a tig welder is practical for making 8m of metal fencing at my garage? I am just a DIYer with a little bit of tig welding experience. My concerns are too much welding fumes made by MIG and also spattering surrounding items. Appreciate your replies.
I think in the long run the customer and therefore the designer will regret not having some sort of support through the middle of the gate to prevent the louvers from flexing
It does look great installed.
Muy buen trabajo muy profesional
awesome work you sir are a great teacher i wish you goodness
