Looks good! Love the clean up at the end. I've worked with some people that just leave the small rods and scrap pieces laying around. Drives me crazy to leave a mess!
What I’ve always done when using a transit level to mark reference points is hang the tape measure from the top of the post. I hang the tape measure to where it’s facing the level and bring it down far enough to get a measurement. If it’s a little windy you may want to wrap a cable tie or masking tape around the post and tape measure to keep it from swinging. You can set a tape measure on a few posts at once, to avoid walking back to the transit for every post. Just write down which measurement goes with which post. Keep up the good work Austin!
Laser levels work great! I use mine to level, square, plumb, and to set a straight fence line. The only thing to keep in mind is whenever it’s windy there’s a slight deflection on the laser beam over long distances. So just be aware in which direction the wind is traveling. The best level in my opinion is the “ good ol fashioned ” water level. There’s no mechanical or electrical components to fail.
Nice to see you are branching out into other areas to keep working, as pipeline welding is your usual thing, a mans got to keep busy, good work as always.
I WATCHED ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS THE OTHER DAY WHERE YOU BLEW A TIRE ON YOUR TRAVEL TRAILER AND THE LADY PULLS UP BESIDE YOU TO TELL YOU .I HAD THE SAME EXPERANCE COMING THROUGH BERMINGHAM ,AL AT 1: 30 IN THE AM WHEN THE POLICE PULL ME OVER.THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET A TICKET I WAS GOING A LITTLE FAST. HE TOLD ME I WOULD PROBABLY RATHER HAVE A TICKET THAN WHAT I SAW.THEY STAYED WITH ME AND HELPED TILL I GOT THE MESS FIXED. GREAT GUYS
If I had a dollar for every time I had to make it work I'd have a lot richer retirement . Hahaha the world was not made with a level and a string line but can be made level and straight with the right person using those tools .
Been watching your videos for a while now im a arborist for a living and also work on grandfathers farm ive always done a bit of repair welding here and there but I've started getting more into serious welding. Ive found your videos realy interesting and educational so thanks for the videos and keep up the awesome work 🙂💪🤘
Austin, we use those pre-made beams like what you used on that carport as well. They work great. One suggestion that we've found to work well is to notch the inside of the square tubing post to allow the 2" square tubing of the beam to set down lower in the post. Just notch it deep enough so that the top of the beam comes out slightly above your post and you won't have the gap between the roof and top of the posts. Awesome content, keep up the great work!
Once this whole Corona thing is over you should totally do a “bring a fan to work day” give away haha could probably learn a lot from just one days worth of work with you. Just full of useful information and tricks. Thanks for the content A. Ross
Awsome video as always. Thank you for taking the time to film your work. I know it is hard because i try to film stuff im building but i don’t always film because it takes up so much time. Take care.
Enjoyed seeing your project go up. Have been building pens and loading sheds using a string level. After struggling to get things truly level, I broke down and rented a builders level. Took half an hour to shoot level on the shed uprights. Should have done it to begin with. Could have saved a lot of time and effort. Right tool for the job. Thanks for the video. Yes
Can't wait to see what you're up to brother and man I can't agree anymore with what you said about taking materials and seeing it a finished product at the end. I enjoy working with steel more than wood but most of mine right now are remodels and additions. Love that Texas steel build brother, keep on keeping on! Hey, I'll send you a couple of my hats if you'll send me one of yours...........
This is how i got started welding built metal buildings,lean to, and carports. Tin is easy once you figure it out it helps alot when you have a square building or structure would love to build one with you sometime im from NE Oklahoma
Man, I'm in diesel tech school right now and your videos are really making me want to switch to mobile rig welding/pipeline. I have a in for the pipeline and I have welding experience but I also love working on anything diesel. I dont know what to do.
Great job on this project, ordered the circle burner for my straight torch from ya and it works awesome, makes building pipe rail fence way easier and cleaner
A Ross,right way to use site level,bench marking,all refinery construction is done off a mark on a column,you might want to look at using z perlins on the top of rafters,extend them 2 ft out and create a sofit,like you ability to figure it out,what good welders do!
Great job and video !! Really enjoyed watching your project today. They turned out really good. Thanks for sharing with with us and keep up the good work and videos please.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If you do decide to acquire a laser, be sure and get one with a green beam rather than a red beam, the green is easier to see in the daylight, learned it the hard way!
Great job Ross.. I use a 360 self leaving lazer ... set it in the middle and make my level lines and take off from there.. it takes around 5min to make your reference line.. hope it will help and make jobs easier.. Rudy.. with RB welding
If that was a tie in I would have fired the fitter and the helper both! I'm usually the one stressing out on outage work though knowing how many people will be up my rear wondering why gas isn't flowing again.
Well done. It looks plenty stout however you might want to add some x braces in the long walk and one in the roof. You know how the wind is in okra homa. I am over near T-town.
Great video man I appreciate it, definitely helps to learn cause I’m starting to work on making my own structural metal building type barn! Nice job on the purlin!
You don't necessarily have to talk him into letting you do the concrete, but it is necessary to address the specs of what you will require. Otherwise, extra costs involved.
You can run your purlin on the outside part of them posts so you don’t have to install all of those 4x4 then you install your 4 in purlin on the outside too Just different ideas I guess but everything works I like your videos
Great job at solving the problem Austin.. just curious, have you ever used a water level?.. it would be a great tool to go along with the transit..stay safe & keep up the great work
could just set the post in wet concrete, but then for sure you gotta be plumb in all directions and straight. you can also set the height at this time. no need to nip off the top afterwards
Another fine job by a fine American welder using American products! 😃👏👏👏👏👏👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Notice that the extremely highly educated welder is using a American made Lincoln machine!
Nice work. However like everyone else have suggestions for next time. Confused why not cut off the post and rest beams on top. A "Z " purlin on the outside with the top sticking out would give support for the roofing for overhang. That creates a hazard for anyone working on the roof. Someone could step too close to edge and it fold under foot dumping them to the ground, at both locations you show here. Would hate for any liability to get you.
Question. In 5-10 years, what prevents those posts from just rusting clean off at the water line where the concrete absorbs the water? At least in my area (bottom of the salt belt), metal tends to get rusted clean off at the mating surface to the concrete within 3-7 years.
Anothe way you can level is by filling a clear hose with water and get all the air out and then get one end on the line and the other end will level out
Learn Somethin' Every Day Hat just sold to me. I’ll be calling you out on my little channel. I’m adding 2 lean to’s to my building on uneven ground and this really helped!
Hey Austin 👊🏻 awesome video like always. Do you ever plan on going back out on the line? Or gonna stay working for yourself to keep at the house? Big fan
I’m building a pavilion with a hip roof 18x18 I’m thinking about using 3” rectangular tubing. My question is you think 3” is smart to use or should I use 6” rectangular tubing. I’m worried it might sag. What do you think??
Hi there! I love these videos. I have a question. I’ve been welding pipe for 9 years now. Mobile welding business I just started. On these projects, how are you charging? Hourly, payments or full price up front? I would really appreciate the advice. Just got my LLC and would really appreciate it. Thanks and God bless!
Was it attached to the building somehow? Lean to's are usually attached to the building with a built every couple of feet through a sting headed board.
Was the base atached to the cement? I mean it was put in the cement while pouring it ? And than weld the post to it ? If so great thats how I thought doing mine
Thanks, the receiver is essentially a channel that the c perlin fits inside. I guess the term “receiver” is the technical name for it 🤷♂️ but it’s just a channel.
Idk what the best way to get in contact with you but I was wondering if you could try to answer some questions about welding that I have and would appreciate a more unbiased opinion
I would make sure the outside of the uprights are exactly flush with the outside of the rafters. This way all my Tin would be able to be nice, right and clean. And on this size of carport I would prob figure on running a piece of the 4” along the 20’ side also (the length of the rafter)
Very very awesome Austin, like I said before here in California these butt holes don’t want to pay you shit for good work, bring back the pipe lines dammit Hahahaha keep up the videos and I keep watching God bless you bro!!!!
Attitude is, everything!! Well done, sir!
I use a clear water hose to get my levels so easy to use and always spot on
Honestly. As a welder. Your channel is my favorite welding channel. Because of projects like this.
Looks good! Love the clean up at the end. I've worked with some people that just leave the small rods and scrap pieces laying around. Drives me crazy to leave a mess!
Drives me crazy too!
@@arosswelding austin just wondering if you were on tv before you started welding?

Those receiver channel and cee purlin builds are my favorite!! A guy can really knock out a lot of work alone if you don’t have any help 👌🏽
Making it work is a lot of the fun in fabbing and welding.
You just cover everything I needed to know to start my building new subscriber here from Arizona thanks !!!
Looking good 👍 and yes learn something new and feel pride of the work
Just want to say Thx for keeping the Videos coming. Great info
You bet. Thank you for watching.

Austin, I have a question on square post. What is the recommendation or better? Post in cemented in the hole or welded on plates ?
Thank you for sharing Austin. Awesome
Great job and video !! Really enjoyed watching your project today. They turned out really good. Thanks for sharing with with us and keep up the good work and videos please.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video
Awesome video, i've bn learning a lot from you thank you for sharing you knowledge 👍
Nice work. I am curious about the plates. What does the bottom of the plate look like? Do you have angle or rebar on there?
Looks good bro, only thing I would add is some 45° bracing on all 4 corners on both sides of the support post.. GOD bless Y'all👍🙏
weld done brother they tried to stopped you by laying you off but you find a way to make money because you are a talented operator
nice job
Man your a bad ass welder !

i know off topic how the pipes how the pipelines going on in the states?

Great job. Looks awesome. Are you done pipelining or with the way the world is unable to find a pipeline job?
Good work! Also video editing is good !
Looks great buddy 👌
great job! Hopefully you can save me from making my own mistakes but alas its inevitable

Rotating laser Laval. Works great
Hope they pay you to finish it right. Awesome how you made those footings work.

Are the purlins just regular c-channel? And what thickness?
How far would you span that 8inch receiver
What is the name of the song at 8:24? Loved your video, btw.
10:40 shifting cow
Was it attached to the building somehow? Lean to's are usually attached to the building with a built every couple of feet through a sting headed board.
Was the base atached to the cement? I mean it was put in the cement while pouring it ? And than weld the post to it ? If so great thats how I thought doing mine
I wonder how much is would cost to do a deck frame
excuse my ignorance but why is this concrete plate method better than setting the posts in concrete?
Great job. I wasn't clear on some of the things though. What did you mean by 'receiver' and how is it made?
Thanks, the receiver is essentially a channel that the c perlin fits inside. I guess the term “receiver” is the technical name for it 🤷♂️ but it’s just a channel.
Anybody know what chop saw and blade he uses? Thanks
Idk what the best way to get in contact with you but I was wondering if you could try to answer some questions about welding that I have and would appreciate a more unbiased opinion
hi well done, how much this cost?thanks from oil rig welder in north sea
Metal stakes and angle iron welded to the stake and plate would of took care of that
i was following that previous structure build because i am gonna do one myself. You say you would change some things, what would those be?
I would make sure the outside of the uprights are exactly flush with the outside of the rafters. This way all my Tin would be able to be nice, right and clean.
And on this size of carport I would prob figure on running a piece of the 4” along the 20’ side also (the length of the rafter)
Very very awesome Austin, like I said before here in California these butt holes don’t want to pay you shit for good work, bring back the pipe lines dammit Hahahaha keep up the videos and I keep watching God bless you bro!!!!
