I am a welder…. I use reducers…. A reducer is less than the amount of labor dollars invested into said fitting and less residual stresses induced on the finished connection… 🤦🏼♂️ Work smarter, not harder!
In some situations though when you can not find or have a reducer this is a great fix to the problem.
@Ryan Barton I actually agree with you. This is more of a diy at home solution for say... doing exhaust when you forgot to order the correct reducer. Lol
Ele está ensinando como se faz uma redução,não está dizendo que é mais fácil, não seja idiota, nem sempre vc terá um redutor a disposição... Para de ser chato e cresça.
Yeah you’re a supergluer we here in the trade call this fabrication 🤣
@@timbolilly6536 sorry Lilly…. I’m in the business of making money… Best of luck with the make shift lawn ornaments. 🤷🏼♂️
Not every welder would know this formula not even every pipe fitter. What they know is who they learned from. This VLOG would learn a lot of fabricator/welder. Thanks to you! Keep sharing you makes all of us becomes stronger 💪 IRONMEN.
Thanks for that!
I dont know any pipe fitters who dont know some variation of this trick, well, none who are any good.. have to agree that he needs to hang out with more fabricator/welders.
@@lukewarmwater6412 most of the Fab shop I worked for they used Auto Cad Program. Not to many old school left that had these types of skills set. Most of them are retired. I've been doing this fab work over 30 years I have not seen it yet.
@@Nachnoy71 been a fabricator for how long? and never thought of this kind of thing?!.... calling bullshit. this is beginner stuff!
Any field welder worth his diesel has a pipe fitters blue book in the truck that contains all of this information. Sometimes Google is not available.
wrap paper around each pipe diameter. Fold each paper the same number of times. These templates show the correct spacing for the cut outs.
This seems even easier. Good video sometimes brings out even better tips!
Thank you! I was trying to follow the video but I dislike non narrated as I mostly just listen rather than watch
Isn't the smaller pipe section the remainder of the the larger pipe paper?
Your tips and ideas are awesome they are great to do without all the fancy and expensive equipment 👍👍
Glad you think so!
If you cut the corner when the paper is folded you don't have to make all those dots. You'll have little notches at the folds when unfolded.
There is a much easier way to do many of this channels tricks but it does involve basic math. These tricks works for folks who can't do the most basic of math.
Nice! That is smart.
@@toddbertram6556 I checked your channel to see how to do it with basic math, but you don't seem to have any videos uploaded. Are you still working on them?
I disagree with the statement “for people who can’t use basic math”
Methods like these are faster.
@@badstate there are already plenty of online examples. Take the difference between your larger tube's ID and subtract the OD of the smaller tube. Decide how many segments you would like to use and divide your difference by that number and that will give you your incremental spacing for your large diameter tube. Decide how long you want your segments make midpoint scribes. In reality, craftsman should do whatever works best for them. Im sure if you do it long enough guys can do it perfectly freehand, no marks, eyecrometer style. To each their own, but often using math allows for better preparation and planning.
OK, I have to admit it, that's quite a handy trick.
Most of these "Amazing trick that every xxxxxx should know" type videos that are flooding UA-cam are total rubbish. Usually stuff that isn't done that way because it means 3 times the work of the more conventional method of doing it. But this one's actually a really useful (and pretty much idiot proof) way to accurately mark out a reducer pipe without having resort to maths and measuring. I'm impressed.
Thank you and thanks to the other commentaries too. There is so much to learn in this life.
Thank you too!
Maybe in the afterlife will all gain knowledge. Keep learning.
You have have the guard on your grinder and are well practiced with it. For me, those two things are related. Great video, Ron Covell style stuff. Keep your head out of the galvi fumes.
Thanks for the tips!
You know if you make scoring cuts as opposed to plunge cuts, it will extend the life of your cutting wheels by quite a bit.
Thxs for the tip
Don't really matter if you steal them from work.
So you watched that video recently too
@@mbrick yay fireball!
Yeah but if you have carbide it’ll make no difference cusses nothing will dull it. Or anything if the right operator is using the correct tool for the Correct purpose the way it was meant. Other variables is if you buy cheap habor freight ones the price of the wheel is obsolete. I personally would have put my 7” cutting wheel attached to my table saw. The best and fastest effective, to cut metal. Making sure the objects is clamped. And table saw motion. And using all the angles and measuring tools to quickly and safe cut. It’s more safe for beginners who’ve never had “ what would their life be like” without a nose, finger etc.
A much more elegant take on a reducer, best used in a pinch or artistic purposes. Im afraid if I fabricated a stunt like this on a steam line, I might get an old fashioned ear wringing...great post, pattern development is fun.
Steam?
On a 1 mm thick pipe?
I guess you are not familiarized with industrial stuff...
Clever, I may never need that trick. Thanks all the same. Makes perfect since.
Glad to help
Well just shows your never to old to learn something, nice one pal 👍👴🏻
Thanks 👍
Best trick I’ve seen ever I just wish I’d known it years ago when I was welding exhaust pipes up & hunting around for sleeves the right diameter 🙈. Thumbs up 👍
You were doing this kind of work and you didn't know ten BETTER ways to do this layout? I'm not even a pro welder and I could do this layout in half the time this method takes. It works but it is needlessly overcomplicated. Do a little math and you don't have to do any folding or cutting.
@@powderslinger5968 you do need to measure very precisely though, this method works without measurement and in my opinion is a quick and accurate process, paper, scissors, and a marking device, all things to hand in a workshop. This looks far too useful not to have known forty or so years ago🤔.
@Richard Cranium we are talking about sheet metal working and not a milling operation, my comment still stands, to work this out mathematically your measurements would have to be reasonably precise otherwise you may as well work by eye, having made the measurements done the calculation and accurately marked it out, my tool of choice would still be a small angle grinder with a very thin cutting disc, a metal cutting hand saw could be used but would need a very fine blade due to the thin metal, (the distance between two consecutive points on the blade should always be less than the thickness you are cutting), a cutting disc doesn't have that limitation, both cutting methods need care and skill to do the job and an angle grinder need be no less accurate than using a handsaw, the paper/scissor method is perfectly adequate for the task in hand especially if dealing with non standard pipe sizes, or where commercially available reducers are not to hand, the correct way would be to turn a former on a lathe, then spin form the truncated cone, with welding flanges to fit into/over a swaged pipe before gas or tig welding the components together, a very neat job that has only taken you three days, you can over think things sometimes!☺. However you work your metal enjoy doing it and be happy with what you do.
Really ingenious! Bravo!
And some of the refinements suggested below are awesome.
Thanks to all.
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful, and well worked, Thank you very much.
Glad it helped
Now that is bloody brilliant! Great tip! Thanks a million
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for showing me something I already knew.
Your layout work is impeccable
I wasn't sure I could do this but the music really motivated me and was the definitive cause to allow me to actually fulfill my destiny
Great video, now I am going to make my own power pipe/expansion chamber for my CR500!
Go for it!
Do a video on the dangers of welding galvanized pipe...
It's title can read don't smell and don't breath it
Pretty cool trick... Never seen that one before.👍
Superr good. Tnks yoy very much my frind 🙏🙏🙏🇮🇩 indonesia
The "wrap around" rides again. The essential basic tool of the "torch and welder" craftsman dealing with shapes other than flat boxes. The visuals are descriptive in themselves, but description of the underlying principles would have been even more helpful. I do not know if the "WRAP AROUND" (patented) is still available, but if it is, it is a very useful addition to a tool kit. It is a heavy (about .020" thick) waxed strip about #" wide, with charts and tables on it for quick reference. Once in position, it is thick enough to support a soapstone along it's edge without becoming frayed. There's nothing wrong with using paper for reference tools from an accuracy standpoint, the principles still apply. In a pinch, or a one-off, just fine. A string can be similarly applied as well. No dimensioning, etc. just accuracy. My present project involves cutting a 23 1/2 degree miter on 4" pipe for a set of legs. I should make a vid of how that goes, preferably without a ton of grinding, as the thickness of the wall interferes with leaving a flat cut surface with a torch. Where would life be without challenges?
I’d would watch the video. Any new trick that I can learn is always appreciated.
I went to your channel yet no video upload even one. Thanks. I remember the wrapped around and softstone when i was working before as pipe fitter.
It's UA-cam. Make a video. I'd watch it. Hell I don't do videos and even I got a couple crappy ones on my channel. Consider that your challenge.
I thought you were joking at first, But sounds like the "wrap around" is a thing, 😆.
Pipe wraps. Flange Wizard, Jackson Safety, and others still produce them
There's a thing here in the USA called ( a wrap around / pipe wrap) used by pipe fitters even does equations, mitres and such. Amazon had them probably work better for you
most guys use receipt paper rolls in the exact same way... saves tearing up your pipe wrap for simple layouts
It's never a bad idea to wrap your pipe up. Make sure you get a good quality pipe-wrap. Always check fitment. An ill-fitting pipe-wrap can cause some unwanted problems.
Jugdish can't afford Amazon
Doesn't sound too much on the fly to me though.
Very nifty design and technique! Congrats!
Glad you like it!
Wow....Amazing unique skill . I like it 👍
Thank you so much 😀
You do know there pipe wraps with measurements on them for this kind of layout right?
عمل رائع جدا تستحق التقدير على المجهودات الجبارة ....👍👍👍💐
Glad you think so!
Muito legal, parabéns, simples, prático e eficiente. Nota 1000 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌳🌎💚
like - Your tips and ideas are awesome they are great to do without all the fancy and expensive equipment 👍.
Glad you like them!
Bravo meseriasule. De aceea ne-a dat Dumnezeu minte , să o folosim. Bravo.
After watching it it makes sense. Nice to know.
Great job. Ive done same just by eyeball & cut/weld. While that works, yours came out much more symmetrical. Maury
Cool, thanks
Do some basic math and end up with the same result at least five minutes sooner.
That would be handy for working on exhaust pipes
Excellent job man 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!
Wow..nice workmanship, it also reminds me of a thrust nozzle of fighter jet.
Thank you very much!
Nice trick for a reduction. Never learnd that in my training as industrial plumber. This is much faster than drawing a dewrap on paper.
Greetings from Germany.
Glad to help
Excellent very beauty trick
Thank you so much
I hope i remember this technique i want to use it!!!
How do you weld it together, grind it down and make sure theres no gaps? - love computer nerd
Excelente trabajo, saludos desde Argentina
thank you
Er hat sehr gut aufgepasst in darstellender Geometrie, oder er hatte einfach die Zeit dazu, den uns gegebenen Geist so einzusetzen um das zu erdenken. Eigentlich ganz einfach.............. :-) Sehr schön wirklich.
Show them how to make a bell reducer with a washer having both diameters welded on the end. Everybody's got to have washers laying around.
Nice video, thanks for sharing it :)
Thank you too
Brilliant! I cant wait to try this lay-out trick. I'll bet it looks fantastic welded into place. I'm new to your videos and just subscribed, looking forward to more of your genius tricks.
Yes i am also
Not to shabby for a piece of paper and a sharpie!
You are great sir🙏
Always made them in the paper mill back in the 70s concentric an eccentric on stainless steel pipe up to 20” sch 10 an 40
I think it really helpful
Very smart insight! Thanks for share.
Glad it was helpful!
This is a guy who has a lifetime of priceless knowledge . obvious just from this video
Thank you
Excuse me? This method SUCKS. 60 seconds of basic math vs. 6 minutes of folding and cutting? "Priceless knowledge?" ... NOT.
Can you explain the measurements bro
I have a 4inch pipe i want to reduce it to 1.5 inch
You got skill my friend 😃
great trick, thumbs up
Thanks for the visit
Nice technique.
Super job bro
I know that traditional proven Radial Line Development is the way to go still.
Wow super very useful for welders
Thanks a lot
Simple and smart :)
32 years as a pipefitter/welder in industrial construction. I'd like to see ANY business that would accept that as a concentric reducer. You'd be out the gate in ten minutes.
Would make a sick trick for an exhaust pipe on a car or motorcycle, if used backwards
That hits the nail on the head ,,,
No all welding is structural or required for pressure sensitive application - for aesthetic application this is perfect
@@MrTweagle it's a piss poor way of making a concentric reducer .. it could be rolled with only one welded seam very easily ....
Мастер сразу видно. Молодец! 👏👏👏
I'm not going to be welding ánything anytime soon....but I do enjoy these video's
I am a pipe fitter. When you fold the paper. Just cut the corners off. It will leave,nice little V’s for you to use to scribe you pipe. Done!
Beautiful tight fit concentric reducer. Nowadays most just use a store bought concentric reducer. " Scientia est Potentia " . I am a retired pf/wld.
Great tip when resources are short. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice clean cutting
Thanks 👍
wow a million plus views in a week for geometric division. good for you . that marker looks like it would write on butter.
Watching the video I was asking myself from the beginning.( Is he going to weld galvanized pipe?) Hopefully he has a good setup to do so if he is.
Impressive fabrication...
To get your paper the right length to match the circumference just wrap a larger sheet around and make a single cut through the cross over with a knife - perfect fit!
thanks for the tip....
Making a simple job complex.
Very nice job because of your vlog tutorial I got some knowledge from you, l hoping you make me
Thanks and welcome
Excellent technique for pipe reducer.
Glad you liked it!

Nice video, thanks.
Cool beans! I'm going to try this with my cardboard tubes and soda can creations!
That's a great idea!
Welders definitely have easier ways of doing things than that thank God!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am from 🇻🇳 , thank you !
You're welcome 😊
I'm no welder, but I adapted a aftermarket exhaust to my dirt bike by doing this...and I just eyeballed everything lol...still.came out great...oh and I used a stick welder too..
Nice work!
Adorei essas medida sua; Deu certinho. 👏👏🤙
thank you.
Im want to learn these profiles
Look up "Wrap-A-Round Pipe", same concept but with all the markings already printed on it
Very cool!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I've seen and done alot of shit in my life but this is one of the coolest damn videos i've ever seen.
well done 👍
Thank you 👍
Again, neat more that little trick. I will have to watch it a few times but I am really impressed. You got another subscriber. I like the fact you are doing fabrication without expensive jigs, tools,... etc. Being older (very retired) your methods allow me to do things that other wise would cost way too much $$$ to make. Again THANKS!!
Welcome!
Keren
Good vid.
I was doing this once in the shop. Boss(former boss-he was a hack and a fraud)walks by and looks at me like I got three heads until he saw the finished product out in the plant. Works every time.
Thanks for sharing
It wasn't even a good video really. Just some click bait with some music behind it.. was more annoying than education
Pretty cool. A reducer would of been a whole lot easier and practical. Instead of 8 seams to weld you'd only have 2.
That is only if you have the right reduced on hand. If it is needed to get the equipment back up and making money and the reduced you need is not in the supply room, then knowing how to do it this way get's you back on line.
When a reducer is a 4 hour hot shot away at 0200 during a blizzard, these tricks help.
Learning tricks like this is what makes a good welder/fabricator
that's pretty cool to know been out in the field this could help get out a jam and nor to mention cost cutting and getting coustomer going again, God bless you, thank you
A unique custom pipe looks lame with pre fab reducers..
this is great, I was going to buy an expansion chamber for a 2 stroke bicycle project I’m working on,
but now I’m going to build one myself..
My wrap around already has these marks and is accurate
Awesome, Going to remember this.
Красавчик!
Thank you.
Excellent!!
Thanks for sharing
👍👍👍
Thank you too
Nice job good bless
Thank you
Also don't weld galvanized steel indoors...or outdoors even.
Just grind it off 🤔
Brilliant! Be careful welding that galv pipe is not good. Be safe! That is awesome!
Thanks for the tip
Most of my fellow welders would save tons of time and just use a flex tape .
