My uncle whom I worked construction for back in the late 80's he would pick me up every day and when it was raining we would sit truck and determine if it was going to rain all day by how big the rain drops where. small drops means all day & big drops mean we go to work
Those little tricks, that you use so you can work by yourself, are priceless. Get more done and don't have to listen to somebody's BS. Good work, Hand!
The old saying measure twice cut once , but i had an old welder tell me once. That's why I am a welder not a carpenter. If i cut it too short i just weld in a piece lol😂🤣
You’re the real deal thanks for your time making these videos. My kids will watch just cause your teach ability wish I was closer you would have some apprentices
You’re awesome man you definitely have the patience to be a great teacher you know sometimes people want speed instead of good quality work but we are in the same page there’s nothing like taking your time trying to make the best product possible
Great work young man! The biggest gate I ever built was in 2008 and was made from galvanized scaffold tube and was 16feet long, 4feet tall and had four long rails, 3 sets of verticals and the bottom half was covered with heavy galv mesh. It was so heavy I couldn't lift if off the floor to turn it over to weld the other side. I had to use a small articulated loader to turn it. We then moved with a JCB 415S articulated loader to fit it to the large silage clamp on a very large farm I worked on in the middle of North Yorkshire, England. last time I looked it was still there! Keep up the good work young man!
Hey love the videos. Watch every Friday. I build fence professionally. I can pass on some tips, materials, measurement standards and custom tools if you’re interested. Keep up the great work. Comeonback
That's awesome it took me back to my days at Baileys Welding here in Northern New Mexico. I did alot of that in the shop as my first job and occasionally got to go out In the field and run one of the his Rig trucks to do fences for the oilfield.
Coping them tubes with the chop saw on a miter cut is genius, never thought of that. That 1. Makes me want a steel chop saw 2. Gives me more knowledge to do pipe handrails for side work now haha. Good stuff brother
A quick note on fire suppression. The only real fires, which got out of control in my life have been started with high-speed grinders throwing molten chunks 30 feet away into dry grass. That said, welding fires are few for two reasons. First off, I take with me a small Hudson sprayer filled with water and before I weld in areas with dry grass below, I simply spray water on the grass. In the off chance of fire does start, I also have an open bucket of water with a cheap broom sitting it and just brooming a small fire with a wet broom puts it out, so far anyway.
A good channel to follow for these type jobs in Jimbo's Garage. Great video! Man they keep getting better. I bet you have 100k subs by the end of the year.
Dude as I'm watching this video, I'm also writing you. I've watched this video many times, is very good fabrication. The only thing I didn't see, was how you cut the fish mouths on the pipe, or how you drew them, and/or how you welded the gate....you do good work man, and thanks for sharing with us your knowledge. Thanks for replying to my question about the circle cutter. I'll be buying one soon. Many blessings to ya.
Very cool Austin, like I said about California not much going on here I will be riding the Harley to Arkansas to go see my dad and then when I get back I’ll be hitting the cement plants again Rig Welding. It’s good to have different skills to fall back on just like what you’re doing But like I said I sure do miss pipeline and oil field but we do have a skill and making money at it, thanks brother I love your videos man keep up the good work I hope the text came out right
Always herd of people using the chop saw to cut saddles but never tried it or thought you would get a good fit up. I’ll have to try it sometime. You should build a welding table for your next project.
I had the same thoughts, in one of your next videos it would be neat to see a little more of the fitting process. Keep up the good work! Im currently in the process of building my first pipe and cable roping arena and look forward to your tips and tricks on your videos.
We use 50 inch tall gates and make the top of the fence about 5 feet so there’s about 10 inches of clearance under the gates. We’ve been using gates from go bob. I don’t think a guy could come anywhere close to building a gate for what they cost there. I wouldn’t use one for a heavy duty or main entrance application though. They are pretty light but it keeps the posts from sagging so bad and it’s way easier to mount them.
Looks great I do the same with doors but I also do other ways to do the doors I just notch top middle and bottom rail makes it easier and faster to do awesome video brother be safe
Austin, at 16:40 you start to cut your pipe. Will you please show or tell me what angle you are using and how you get that "fish mouth or cope" so clean and tight? You finish up at 18:00. Looks great!!
Nice gate! I saw something that I have see a lot of welders do with ground clamps, I don't like clamping on a thick piece. If any heat builds up due to high amperage it will anneal the spring on the clamp and then thick is all you will be able to clamp on or have to replace the ground. I prefer to use vise clamps or a C clamp on the work and then attach my ground to that, I have seen a lot of welders in the past that have a habit of clamping on the thickest piece they can find. The though is it provides a better path for ground but that is not true.
Growing up on a farm it makes me wonder if a person shouldn't put a grease zerk on the hinges. Do you think it is worth the extra step? Just wondering for when I build mine. Great work though, learning a lot.
@@arosswelding Good to know, I look forward to the rest of the build. I am retiring from the Navy soon and am wanting to start my own farm. I have been watching your fencing closely as I want to build the fence once...lol
If the landowner would like zerks after the gate is up, one could just drill the holes, use a flat bottom tap, tap the holes and thread them in. Austin could do that or the landowner could himself.
Call CBI pipe in Guthrie OK they sell those gates prefabricated, I think and 8 footer is $120, they sell them from 4ft to 20ft, in increments of 2 feet. I make a trip to Guthrie every time I need gates, the hinges are already on them and they have grease certs already. I’ll probably never build another gate again.
The complete products look great but how come you never show any of your welds or welding techniques for welding on thin walled pipe? That would be of great benefit. Thanks for your time.
Idk... There’s so many things to touch on when it comes to fabrication I just never get to that part of it. I’m sure I will though. The education realm is endless.
I’m welding in a local shop right now during the week and I’m looking to buy my own rig here soon but I’m not too sure what direction to go after I make the purchase. Any advice? Thank you
I measured the template, the different from the ear to the throat, in this case was 1/2” multiplied by 2 and then just cut one and tried it. First one was a touch short so I just adjusted accordingly then done the rest the exact same. All the short ones anyway... done the same on the long ones. Just added 1” to the inside measurement.
I want to pipeline weld do I have to be a helper first or can I go straight into welding. I am going to a welding school in a few weeks while in highschool to learn
Austin Ross looks like your doing well keep it up prayers for you bro keep killing if bro!! My brothers were talking about your channel best welding channel out the bro!
Hi, I am 🔥Kimchi Welder🔥 who is uploading a welding video in Canada, and you seem to be very versatile!👍👍👍👍
Thank god your working

_"That's my purse! I don't know you!"_
Grandpa is right! Measure twice, cut once! I wish i had followed that advice a few times in my life! LOL!!!
It’s helped me a bunch over the years. But I’ve def messed up my fair share of times!
I cut it twice but it was still too short
I appreciate your skill versatility in your videos. From passing a pipe test to fixing fence. Btw man, that's some real "groovy" music at the end.😉
Never mind Austin, I just now seen how you did all that. Dude your craftsmanship is top notch, the finish product is simply the best.
And I really like your red tracer over lay…got to get one too…!
I appreciate the reminder about 3-4-5, I used that years ago fabricating pipe
Love watching these videos.
That’s good to hear! I’m glad you enjoy the vids!
You’re awesome man you definitely have the patience to be a great teacher you know sometimes people want speed instead of good quality work but we are in the same page there’s nothing like taking your time trying to make the best product possible
And that's one of many reasons why capitalism is a horrible system.
I made a bunch of those for the Oilfield. Looks great buddy.

Is that your new BOBCAT!!!! Whoa!!!NICE!!!
I just rented it for this job... I hope to have one or at least a tractor sooner or later. I need some kind of hydraulics around here.
You remain me when me and my dad build some cool 😎 stuff
3,4,5 method. Priceless. Thanks for the great info.
Austin thank you for your videos really appreciate. I’m in the learning process and Your videos been helping me.
Hey love the videos. Watch every Friday. I build fence professionally. I can pass on some tips, materials, measurement standards and custom tools if you’re interested. Keep up the great work. Comeonback
I really liked the home made bar/pipe clamp using part of a Strong Hand clamp
That's awesome it took me back to my days at Baileys Welding here in Northern New Mexico. I did alot of that in the shop as my first job and occasionally got to go out In the field and run one of the his Rig trucks to do fences for the oilfield.
The gate looks fantastic and the 1/2" plate is is plenty enough long as you put some LH on it that style has a good swing to it good job A

When I'm cutting the 45s on pipes, I always run a chalk line down the length so I don't have to eyeball both cuts.
Great video as always. Thanks for the tips and trick you provide in every video
I use 4 pipe stands to make saw horses that way it is easy to get all runners on same plane with only the 4 jacks

World's finest chiropractor 👍
Austin, the gate turned out great man! Really like the little red angle gauge thing! Ha, sorry don’t know the name.
Hey Austin-
Can you show us how you hang that gate and weld it to the gate post?
Rick Ross awesome video!! Thanks again for the great advice God Bless!
Good job Austin looks amazing
enjoy your videos Austin , keep up the good work!
Love your videos. That hinge will forever rust though. They make prefabricated sealed ones that are heavy duty.

Right on! Ya... I couldn’t decide which way to do it, so I just went with this way.
Hello!
I build fences in Austin areas and I like yours videos thank you
,
Good job. Need to see more of the actual welding, up close. Curious how you cut the angles on the support pieces.
love the clamp buddy .... come on !!!!!
Come on !
Keep up the videos always interesting to watch and learn!!!!!!!
You bet I will!

Looking good Austin , the skid loader is sure handy for the job and that's a pretty cool marking gage at 6:00 . The gate turned out great !
Thanks!
All your tips and tricks come in really handy. I would like to know how you go about quoting these jobs?
Love this videos
✌️✌️
Nice job!
You can learn something looking at your video
What would u do if u got a call for a pipeline job while u were working on that fence job?
Austin you should of put grease zerts in your hinge pipes nice job by the way
I know... 😕
Austin Ross it happens ive often thought of better ideas after the fact too lol
Nice job
Need videos on the daily lol 😂
Growing up on a farm it makes me wonder if a person shouldn't put a grease zerk on the hinges. Do you think it is worth the extra step? Just wondering for when I build mine. Great work though, learning a lot.
Yes, if I done it again, I would put grease certs on it

@@shortfuse43 true, not a hard add on.
I'm hoping I'll become a welder next year
You have a good video but if you placed more audio over the cutting grinding and welding instead of the music it would be better.
I built a 200+ lb. gate - free-swinging - 4 years ago. Still no sag. 👍
It may have been heavier because I needed a front end loader to lift it
hey austin could you put a collar on the gate hinge pipe to sit on??, or did you do that.. from australia
Will you show your hoist over head that is a nice setup
Looks good but everything except the hinges would have been easier to build out of square tubing.
Good video austin , thanks for share your knowledge with everyone .... Good job , god bless you
Thanks!
Dang you have a bunch of jack stands haha
Are you ever gonna replace that windshield?
Great videos 15 years dairy construction lead welder cali like the way u do ur caps do you do the same on the bottom with cement rub with wood
Call CBI pipe in Guthrie OK they sell those gates prefabricated, I think and 8 footer is $120, they sell them from 4ft to 20ft, in increments of 2 feet.

Nice!
I made good 👍
I got distracted looking at your triangular beam above your head…what is its purpose?
i love your angle guide! where i can buy that cool stuff?
good vid Austin
Thanks Bart!

How long does a blade last on that Evolution saw?
Isn’t your stop on the wrong side of the hinge?
I enjoy watching your videos! Did you buy that Bobcat? Or did you rent it? Thank you.
Rented it
Where does one get those jack stand like doo hicky's
Pythagorean theorem!
I’m welding in a local shop right now during the week and I’m looking to buy my own rig here soon but I’m not too sure what direction to go after I make the purchase. Any advice? Thank you
Can you explain how to make those hinges
Seen u cope the peices for the middle how did u figure the length allowing for the cope?
I measured the template, the different from the ear to the throat, in this case was 1/2” multiplied by 2 and then just cut one and tried it. First one was a touch short so I just adjusted accordingly then done the rest the exact same. All the short ones anyway... done the same on the long ones. Just added 1” to the inside measurement.
Austin what size pipe is that gate?
What degree did you chop saw those middle verticals
Do you think you'll ever get back on the pipeline?
I want to pipeline weld do I have to be a helper first or can I go straight into welding. I am going to a welding school in a few weeks while in highschool to learn
Start off as a helper and get to know all you can before actually being the welder
@@juanalvaradouser4877 alright thanks. Can't wait to travel and pipeline for a livin
My friend I really like your vedios..I'm a welder how can I work with you I'm here in philippines..
7:12 i usually go be the saying measure once cut twice and the damm thing is still to short my projects might go a little smoother if i used yours
A diagonal piece of 25mm + 5mm with a turn buckle take the sag out of it
How do you keep a gate that long from sagging? Would two shorter gates that meet in the middle be less likely to sag?
# 1 I make sure my post is in the ground at least 4’ if not more. #2 I make sure my hinges are not sloppy.
That highway looked familiar, must be around where I live...
Small world...
How old are u Austin if I don’t mind me asking u seem so knowledgeable but I feel like ur still young
I’m 31
What blades do you use in your saw? My 16' gate uses schedule 20 pipe, much lighter, but harder to weld.
I’ve tried a couple different ones. Evolution and diablo. The diablo is better in my opinion
@@arosswelding Thank you. I ordered the 72 tooth Diablo blade. Should be here in 4 days. Thank you.
My boss always asked me why it takes so dam long to make a gate ha 7018 cap all no mig in the field just four jacks and no help ha
What is that 45* marking tool called?
Wish this guy wasn’t so cool
✂️ it out 😂
Austin Ross looks like your doing well keep it up prayers for you bro keep killing if bro!! My brothers were talking about your channel best welding channel out the bro!
Why did you only add one Ring where the hinge rests and swings on it and not 2?
🤷♂️ didn’t figure it needed another one.
@@arosswelding in some cases probably not but for extended use more surface area on 2 is better for wear than just one...
What kind of blade is in your chop saw?
That one is evolution but I like the Diablo brand better
