Repairing Old Barn (Stick Welding 7018)

  • In this video, we will be replacing a post in an old barn. We will be doing this by capping and existing 4 1/2" gate post and welding a piece of 2 7/8" pipe on it to support the barn. We used 3/32 7018 stick rod to weld everything in this video, including the cap and the 2 7/8" pipe. I was told this barn has been here for 40 years give or take. So even though this is crazy that this old metal post has completely rotted away it has lasted a very long time. I believe there is a time and a place for used pipe and a time and a place for new pipe. But either way, the neat thing about having welding skills and a mobile welding rig is the ability to re-do or replace certain parts of old projects, structures, fence, ect. Check out our online trade school at arosswelding.school for your very own opportunity to learn how to build an affordable mobile welding rig and how to build your very own pipe fence.

    Can’t help but mention for the youngsters, there is no such thing as 2-7/8” pipe. What you’re using is actually 2-1/2” pipe that just happens to measure 2-7/8” on the O.D.

    You see a lot of scabbed up stuff and used/repurposed material on old farms and equipment. Times have changed. Back then most folks could build something and make it work regardless if it was wrong or right. Material cost was more than labor then as well. And also they couldn't just whip out an order on the internet and have it the next day either. I might add that they lived in the Cold War era where they really thought that a nuclear war was going to happen any day. Remember the drills in grade school where you were suppose to hide under your desk for "protection" from nuclear warheads!?!?!? LOL!!! They did what they could with what they had and maybe didn't know any better. I deal with a lot of this on farms I do work on. It's absolutely amazing what they did with some of it having ZERO care that someone may have to replace what they built. Blows my mind!!! But hey!!! I don't know what they were dealing with that day when they did it either. Thanks for the channel Austin!!! You're a solid dude!!!

    • @arosswelding
      @arosswelding  8 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for taking the time to write this message. Yes, I’ve thought quite a bit about how things are done now days versus how they were back then on account of cost of labor versus materials. It’s definitely something construction companies have to keep in mind when weighing their options and hiring more experienced help versus less experienced help. Because that plays a huge part in how much a job cost. An experienced employee or contractor can get the same job done in a notably less amount of time than a less experienced employee or contractor.

Saddled new legs and welded them beside the old one except didn’t weld to tank welded to the cross members must be working tank still up. And the gate is cool.

  • @artstudio9673
    @artstudio9673 8 місяців тому +1

    I love your channel and how you do and explain things!!!!!! Question: When you turned over the steal angle welded the bottom of the plate, if you are trying to keep everything true and introduce as little distortion to the work, would you tack the back in a few places and then run the finish bead of weld? I get when the weld goes in, it is as hot and large as it will be thus it shrinks as it cools, you tack weld two parts to act as a clamp and hold things in place so to speak and then weld it together....probably should have finished watching before I ask the question.....did I tell you how much I love you channel???? lol

    I’m genuinely kinda surprised at the condition of that barn for that age. I realize it’s a completely different design, but our barn is at least double the age if not older and it held up against 60+ mph winds just fine. This was really entertaining though because once we get electricity to our shop, things like this will be probably all I do all day at least for the first week or two.

    • @artstudio9673
      @artstudio9673 8 місяців тому

      I am no welder but I try. I think the answer is to get the tip of the rod in the correct or best position when you strike your arc. When that rod is new and long it is much harder to steady and place than when you have burned thru the first half.

    • @arosswelding
      @arosswelding  8 місяців тому +2

      Diesel mechanic here. The problem comes from if there isn't a good connection to the earth clamp, or it's placed a while away. It CAN cause a surge and pop drivers and controllers in ECUs. Have seen it happen on one occasion, and the clamp was put on crusty shit. Bright steel, close to the work I.e clamp on the work, not the bed when welding in a vice. End of the day, it comes down to not being stupid. It doesn't stop me welding shit on my ute, or trucks at work
