For anyone who cares. Check for square before you weld! Especially for people who don’t have a weld table like his. Tack the whole square together checking each measurement (H) and (W) then check for square then clamp it down good and finally weld complete. If you need help finding out the weld sequence look up the videos from Fireball tools.
Love the welding table & clamp set up you have. Makes working much more nicer & precise. LOL I noticed all of your grinders conveniently set up. I too keep many grinders each with a different purpose instead of changing blades. Speeds up the project when you have a great set up. ThankQ for sharing, I'm getting ready to build a gate for our farm. I recently have been welding small repairs & projects, this will be my 1st gate build. I'm trying to learn as much as I can to save me from making costly errors. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge & experience.
11:53 The part where you said you leave it open-ended makes such much sense lol. I can hear the raddle. I have never weld before but it was on my list of skills to learn. Listening to you talk about your process is awesome. It's obvious you care about the little details and take pride in your work. Thanks for making these.
Just got back from Industrial Metal Supply in Irvine,CA with my gate metal. Watching your video one last time before getting busy building it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi there jimbo just got myself my own cold cut slugger love the look of it can’t wait to start cutting with it love watching your videos you have inspired me to get back to cutting and welding cheers bud keep
Making videos
This answers all the questions I had about welding a gate. I've made some out of wood so this is something new. Especially regarding welding thin-walled tubing. Thanks for the informative demo!
Great work as always Jimbo, love to see you on your new project!!! Keep it going, they all different and enjoyable. Thank you kindly for sharing of your big knowledge with us.
Part on the top, make it so much better, floral motif as well, smart. Great job.
Great and timely Jim. Have to make two of these for my house in Orange County, CA. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
I'm a fabricator myself and really appreciate you videos, you have the dream shop and you are a true ironman👍👍👍
Nice work. Your work table and clamping system is top notch!
Man that came out really nice. Great job!!!
I admire how you keep it old school, and don't sweat the small stuff. kick ass gate man. 💪🏼
I've just started watching you. Your work is outstanding. That fab table is GREAT!
love the table with the extra grinders stored below, nice gate, nice work.
Learning new things every time I watch your videos, thank you! On those formulas you mentioned, the way I learned from my father in law which he is 89 years old and still welds is; find the center, from there go about 4 inches, give or take. Couple of gates I built have come pretty good, no fancy formulas for me. Im about to build a gate for my generator shed and I'll try your system.
God...is he still able to weld at 89? How is his doing in terms of health.... cause welding is pretty dangerous?
I always learn something from your videos. Thank you. Gate turned out good.
I love it, nice work and the precision was spot on.
Great videos Jimbo!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
I love your videos! You're detailed but to the point. THANK YOU!
Really great work. Thanks for sharing your ideas. 👍
Nice job Jim. I've watch each and every one of your videos and apart from other great projects you've done, in my opinion you are really an expert gate builder and I've learnt a lot from just by watching you at work. Although you have really great equipment in your shop, it still requires a real "Craftsman" to ensure these projects turns out professionally and great. Well done !
I watching every episode - thank you for knowledge. Regards from Poland :)
its all in the little details and a craftsmans tallent that makes it look easy
Excellent job, glad i found this video. thanks for sharing.
Hey, I really appreciate that you took the time to make this. Trying to help my dad with his business so this will help greatly.
I just got that saw! I can't wait to try it. The cast aluminum base is much more table than the lower model made from stamped steel. The cast alum base won't flex and the cuts will be square. This is a common complaint with the Evo saws.
Great stuff Uncle Jimbo!
Parabéns, seu trabalho é excelente!
Amazing craftsmanship 😁. Thank you for sharing your videos 🙏
Nice. An easy method of measuring spacing is to use an engineer’s scale tape measure. It’s in decimal ft, so just divide the overall width by the number of sections you want. Have done this for years. Works great. Lufkin makes an engineer’s tape measures that has both imperial and decimal feet on it. Seriously recommend you try it. It’s easy to divide on your smartphone and saves a lot of time.
I like your work man I been think a lot getting into welding myself
Great video thank you! Nice table as well! Would love to have one of those some day!
Great job! You have inspired me.
Great video Jimbo... I'm still after your custom "bench dog's". I keep checking your store. I'd buy a dozen..
Nicely done Jimbo! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
I like to tack my middle bar in first then work my way out with a spacer. Each to their own though. Looks nice.
Quality. Thanks learnt loads as always
Sweet gate, nice job.
Love the table. From Ireland
I heard you talking about spacing the pickets out. The "formula" I use when trying to find the spacing, is pushing all the pickets to one side and take that measurement. Count out how many pickets you have and divide your previous measurement by however many pickets plus one. For example... If you pushed your 8 pickets to one side and had 32 inches. Youd dive 32 inches by 9. One more than the amount of pickets you have. Hope that helps.👍🏻
You remind me of my dad. Hardcore old school worker with lots of cool tips and EXPERIENCE!! God bless and I hope you and your family stay safe during the pandemic.
Please recommend a paint/coating you would use for the gate.
Nice job as usual Jimbo!
*One Nice Clean Job, Jimbo*
Great video Thanks for sharing
Can you put a video up on how to calculate the angles of some of your more complex jobs?. Thanks, Massive fan in the UK 🇬🇧
Nice work!
That table is glorious. I need one
I saw a tip where you could use a regular piece of waistband elastics, you can measure out whatever guideline widths for that area and then lay it out over the piece and stretch it out to the nearest picket. Roll it back up and throw it in the tool box for next time.
I don't know how to weld and you made it look like even I could do this. I've always wanted to learn though. Great job!
It’s EASY. He’s MIG welding. I’ve been a fabricator for 25 years. Tig welding is a little tougher. Welders are cheap. Just buy one and watch UA-cam videos. Or go to a local shop and ask if you can watch someone weld. It’s fun.
Great job 👍
I like your videos keep going man good job
I love your working table
VERY NICE JIMBO!!
Have you ever done any videos on Painting Raw Ornamental Iron? I'd love to see one, prep to finish.
Gracias por las exelentes clases Señor saludos de Mexico

Hey Jim, don't mess about with math, just get an equidistant layout divider. Lay it on, mark and weld. Job done
Great video, thank you!
I do loves me a fine barrel hinge ;) Very nice!
Good work 👍
Excited to make my own gate. Im just waiting my welding machine arrive. Thank u Jim i have learned a lot with ur projects.
Easy to assemble,fun to use
Nice job
Hey from Argentina, I hope to meet you soon!!!
You can measure the gate's inside width and write down that number, then add up the widths of all the 9 bars and write down that number. Subtract the width of the combined bars from the width of the frame and divide that number by 10 (there are 10 spaces in total between all vertical members, including the frame plus bars). Now that you have your spacing you can make a spacing block of that dimension to go between each bar.
Damn. Nice shop. I would love to work there.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Great videos. Can you cover your prep for paint? Do you remove mill scale? I saw on another video that you used Rustoleum- how long is it lasting?
Got some advice from a lifetime builder..

Sand then apply chem prime
Sand again

Thanks for another great vid! Is it always best to do the bottoms at 45degree cuts?
Very nice
G'day Jimbo cool gate.
Lepo vrlo lepo...very nice..
Jimbo
love to watch your videos
were do you get your decor pieces?
Thanks 🙏
Show us the installation process ..
door came out great.. wanna do something like this for my parents house.
It's pretty simple to calculate equal spacing between pickets...if you have 9 pickets to fill inside the frame just add one for the calculation, so divide the space by 10 (not 9) and they will always be equally spaced in the frame. Inside frame divided by 10 = equal space between all 9 pickets. So if it were 12 pickets always divide by 13 etc...
I haven't been keeping up with the channel much lately, but glad to stop in today. I'll add 2 suggestions for spacing. This stuff really appeals to my nerdy side.
IMHO, the easiest way to perfectly space pickets is to stack all the pickets into the completed frame, use a tape and measure the empty space. Divide that measurement by the number of pickets PLUS ONE. Get out your digital caliper, and cut a pair of wood spacers to the exact dimension, and then you can use your usual workflow. If you label them, you can re-use them.
Instead of cutting blocks to size, you can make a pair of this pretty cool tool (and make a video about making the tool) -- a "spacer book" - cut 1/8" bar stock into 3~4" squares... enough pieces so they stack up to 4". Then cut one 1/16" thick square. Drill a hole in the corner and bolt them all together. Be sure to put the 1/16" piece on the end. Now you can space out to the nearest 1/16" by flipping the "pages" of the book.
If you want to be closer than 1/16", use masking tape shim on it.
On the one I made, all the "pages" are the same and I have to measure it every time I use it. IMHO, it would be smart to mark the stack so you can read the stack height easily, maybe shorter and longer "pages" like the tick marks on a tape measure.
Exactly!! 👍👍👍If you have 9 bars totaling 180mm you take that off the empty space then devide that by 10.always round the number up rather than down aswell
Hi jumbo if you have 9 bars to space out you get your inner measurements and divided by 10. If you have 5 bars always divide with the next number up like if its 6 then by 7 and so on will give you your centres .
Hows it going Jimbo love your shop. Goals!
Nice!
Jimbo you're good!
That welding table sure makes that job go faster.
You could weld up a jig based on the picket dimensions so all you have to do is lay in the pickets and well them . this way it keeps it level , and speeds up the process.
Awesome job! Where on earth did you get that piece of decor?
great channel
Nice skill
Hi Jim I love your Video I've beam watching it for while its grate and love it , I'm a retired machinist and I want to convert a solid fence to make a gate a I have a 1" square a balcony fence and I want to cut a section and hinge it so I can open and close when needed so as I was watching your video I understood the way you did it on the pin type hinges., I just found some hinges on my garage its 1-1/4" wide and I'm going to use that do you think I should leave about 1/4" clearance after I cut it for swinging it to install the hinges? I'm going to use screws to install the hinges, any recommendations will be greatly appreciate it.
Again super grate Video Il keep on watching your videos, Thank you Jimbo.
Cool!
thankyou!
Nice job!
Do you fit the gates yourself Jimbo?
Did you make that table that's awsome
On one of your gates you cut and installed security screening. Where did you purchase the screen where you can see out but not in?
@Jimbo's, I noticed you have a new cold cut saw from your older videos. How are you liking the evolution saw?
hello Jimbo, dont you have some twisting from not securing it down when you welded the inside of the frame? thanks
question out here for you guys and gals. i built some
metal gates for the sides of
my
home. Anyhow do you guys typically set your post
in concrete or set
anchors in concrete and weld a
floor plate to secure posts?
Nice video.
Hola jimbo!! Soy de Argentina. Quiero hacerte una consulta tecnica. Que tipo de disco usas en la ingletadora para cortar los caños?? Agradeceria que especificaciones tiene que tener. Muchas gracias!!!
For repairing ranch gates whats my best welder by Lincoln Thanks for your help
How do you handle the weld splatter on that table. I was going to order one of them but I never could get a hold of them (plus I was reading about other people having issues not getting their orders) I went with a build pro but splatter is splatter. How do you handle it?
what is the thickness of steel?
