Quality work is always valued, depends on who is paying for it of course. I have had plenty of people call me up and say "just weld it, not looking for it to be perfect so it shouldnt cost much"....ive been steering away from those types of people recently. There is no money to be made with them, only headaches.
I do this every day in my country, our roofs are steel I beams and c purlin, I am one of the first persons who started it in my country ,any shape size and design.
I can appreciate your making the effort to try something new, it will help you build your business in the long run, when I first started, younger and hungrier, I would attempt almost anything to do with metal, learned a lot, also learned what I wasn't suited for. Keep up the great work!
Great job Austin! The frame work and install of the up post came out great. Things go smooth when you have a game plan. Can't wait for next week videos of the roof. Keep it up Austin and stay blessed!🙏🏽
Id suggest also adding a way for gutters to be attached to prevent a trench being dug from the run off which will have more velocity due to the smooth tin
Man Austin I really Like your Video's and one of the best part is when you tell what you learn ,great Job ,I learn something every time I watch your videos thanks
Is there going to be a part too loving these types of videos of you working hands on..I’m not even a welder by trade I am a electrician but I love all different trades and welding I always wanted to do but never did.....I did actually learn a decent amount from knowing nothing from your videos keep it up brother
I've made my entire career learning, at first, to work for anyone, and now, I can pick and choose. Price up front and full explanation of the job. Don't like my price, call the cheapo, don't like the way I do it, then why did you call a professional. We all start out learning, and then take a job or two that we know halfway through that we shouldn't have. But finish it anyway and with positivity. If you make someone happy, they will tell 5 people, if you make them mad.......they'll tell everyone they come in contact with. Better to slip and catch yourself than to slide right off the roof, a wise old guy told me once or twice. Great video, can't wait to see it finished boss. My advice, little jobs usually turn into bigger ones
I've had people call me up saying they have a job for me should only take 10 minutes.Than I had people call me to do some welding repair work on there equipment and tell me that should only cost about $500.00 I tell them when I come to that amount I'll stop.
Looks like a good job. I noticed you had an audience while you were digging post holes! I guess the diggers wouldn’t fit their hands!! Lol keep up the good work and be safe.
As a Framer . You did a great job! However, on the Valley you might want to either add another metal plate on each side so you can screw the metal sheets . It looks like you don’t have enough space there in the middle to screw everything down. Keep the videos coming !
First good wind, you're going to wish you had welded everything. Drainage at the hip and ridge junction in the corner is probably going to be problematic. Go wonder the existing roofing if you can, so water drips off like it would off a shingle. Also, get you a portaband metal cutting band saw. You can cut off those extra vertical post tails in about 30 seconds each.
Nice job Austin,the only thing I would've done different was to fill those holes (post holes you cut with a torch)with spray foam.Bees will make a home in them.
Austin, you need to get some height extensions for your gate levelers to use on those cross members! LOL. Quality work, looks great. Hope you don't get roped into putting the roof on.
So .. any special considerations for setting non-galvanized steel posts below grade in concrete? I have the same question for fence application, but since this is structural it seems even more important. Thanks, new sub enjoying your content, please keep it coming.
hey austin. enjoy your videos and persona on the screen. I have a question. I got some steel tube 0.25 and 0.125 to make a carport frame. i could weld with 7018 or with flux core mig with a spool gun. what would be your preference if you were doing this for yourself. I haven't talked to my code authority yet, but i think our local pole-barn codes just specify full welds on two faces. I am planning on welding all faces for appearance purposes.
Austin, i do this line of work; you did great bud. The differences between welding and boltups are as endless as those twitter wars. Boltups are the cheaper and common approach vs. welding with 6011 on the red, 7018 only on beams and A frames (with propper procedure and finishing) being the stronger but costly approach. If you swing through Texas we should run a building one time. I mean hey its the end of the world so why not right 😂 You did awesome and I look foreward to how the sheeting will turn out.
There are numerous problematic situations possible when welding up close to a house that don’t exist with screws. Sparks getting into the attic through holes in the soffit, sparks and slag burning the vinyl siding, sparks getting into the landscaping mulch and smoldering for hours before actually starting to flame up, etc. The mulch thing actually happened in my town years ago. Nearly half the house burned up! Owners were displaced for almost a year! I’d hate to pay that claim!!
What’s the gauge on those 3 inch post? Also I know this totally depends on what city you’re in, but did you have to get a permit to build this? I want to do something similar to this. Awesome work btw!
Love your videos What is the shear strength of those screws ? I dont think this would pass code in snow load states unless you welded it all up. it does look purdy though :)
Would you mind making a video bout what rods, amps and heat to run on to weld cee purlins? I currently run dcen 120 amps bout 30 heat with 6011 rods and sometimes i blow through the cee purlins..? I'd really appreciate it
Mary Parvin also being so thin use a 3/32 witch you would have to order in most cases and stitch weld or transfer your heat (like weld a little and go somewhere else and weld a little and come back later after it cools off and do it all over again hope that helps. I have stitched welded mine before and worked out perfect
Id put some plywood on top of the metal then attach the tin to the plywood. It be easier to attach the tin and you could add some 1×1 or 1×2 spacers to allow air flow and help minimize the expansion of the tin due to heat.
the tin may sweat this way and over time the plywood will start to rot.i put plywood /chip board and covered it with tar paper then the tin.still got a good top after 16 yrs or longer
Yup, except paper the sheets if you do. Finishing an 18x55 attached to the front of a wood framed shop and all new metal R panel on the entire thing. If you leave the tin exposed and f you get any frost in the cold months, it will sweat and rain inside or rot the sheeting. Always paper sheeting no matter what type of roofing. Great little cover though
How thick of steel are you using? Im looking to build a awning pretty similar but larger scale than this. Trying to figure out good thickness for welding it together but also thin enough to run self tap screws. Built a well shed with 1/8th. Hung the tin but self tap screws where hard going.
Oh I love doin my own thing. It’s a nice change of pace. It’s nice having that direct contact with the client. Little easier to keep work lined up. Versus waitin on a pipeline job to kick off.
My understanding you cant put steel into ground with cement around it. It rust out over time. Their brackets that lift off ground about 2"-3" and then you trim wood trim or plastic around as base. To cover up mounting hardware.
Cap those pipes or drill drains in the bottom , when water gets in them and it will it will freeze and bust the pipelearnd that the hard way, Bty stand up job on that awning
@@arosswelding before you know it, you'll more successfully at home. You've got resolve...much respect given. Not many young like you out there nowadays...
The example I looked at was screwed together so I just screwed this one. I thought about goin in and puttin some weld here and there to make it all permanent but idk if I will. I like what a view said here in the comments, he said this way you can make adjustments in the future if need be.
Dude the material is all rusted already. You will fight that every year for the rest of your life. Looks pretty good though. The single biggest issue with ornamental steel work is rust!
I could actually go to work now if I wanted. I’m low enough on the wheel. But yes, pipeline work is slow right now. So I’m taking advantage of the slower time to stay home and build a business.
I’m a welder I can long arc short arc heli arc run it uphill downhill weld for 2 fitters fit for 2 welders now give me my money I miss my honey!! Draggin. Something like that I wish I could remember it correctly
You should have used GALVANIZED material up against the house. Also you needed to get a permit to do work like that. Your actions are going to get you in BIG trouble one day.
Yeah I get your point but out in the country on your own home why allow government to tell us what we can and can't do even in town. They government does not own the property or pay the annual rent (property tax).
You don't need a permit if it's outside the city. Please provide evidence that a permit is required outside the city if you're going to spew legalities.

Watching your channel has got me all pumped to learn how to weld!
People want a high quality job but are not willing to pay for it....I do admire your ability to adapt your skills to other endeavors..
Great work Austin! Been watching your videos for a while and picked up a lot of tips from how you work.

Looking good looking good. Thanks for the info
Good work, Hand! I love working with that red iron.
This is very helpful love the channel man , you always explain things very simply.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good Job. Screwing and bolt up gives one options for future dismantling if needed
That truck is badass

Looks like a good job. I noticed you had an audience while you were digging post holes! I guess the diggers wouldn’t fit their hands!! Lol keep up the good work and be safe.
That's good exercise.I've dug plenty of holes in my time.
You do great work Austin
Very nice Austin. Itll turn out great once u finish. Ure just an all around dude! Very nice brother. SL

Looks great buddy
Nice! Doing a bit of iron working. Keep up the videos there awsome
Nice design. Customer should be pleased. Austin, you might have some spider DNA in you.
To answer the question in your title...yes it is by some, that is specifically why I’m building my shop myself.

The long piece mounted to the house. It just bolts right into the wood. It's strong enough to hold the weight ?

Pretty light I would say judging by the torch cut shots
How did you get your torch to not shoot out a load of crap when cutting? Ours always sprays sparks and metal everywhere.
I think he regulated his oxygen to be very faint, and not your usual strong jet from the industrial field
He’s cutting tubing. Everything is going inside of it and you can barely see it.
that looks awesome 👏🏼
Looks a bubble off there ross 😆

How will you seal the seam where your 45 ' s meet? They can't overlap because of the different pitches.
You use a valley flashing there . Doesn’t matter if there is 2 different pitches.
Austin any word on work ... getting back on the ROW ??
Would you mind reviewing the weld pro mig 200?
Can you show how to walk the cup for welding beginners
Road Road Yard...I buy steel there.
It’s called facia board!
Why did the home owner decide on steel instead of wood for the framing?
For the rust look
was this whole project bolted together what's the difference between bolting it and welding it ?
Yes, it was all bolted together. By bolting it, you can later disassembled it if needed. And it was less chance of getting sparks on the house.
Do you think you will ever go back to the pipeline?
What ticknness on the material please ? Posts and pur.....
I need you to come build a pretty good size awning/Pergola at my house in Blanchard. I want it built out of red iron. Let me know
Email me please.

Why didn’t you use galvanised RHS cos that’s going to rust over time...
Im pretty sure he told them that, but the owners were on a budget.
Can’t you just paint them?
Drywall gun work the best for metal like that
Did he say he attached to the 1by fascia?
What you screwed your metal piece into is called a Fascia board not a header. A header is above doors and windows or large spans with no supports.
One question is ground lead and stinger lead the same cable or different
Different but can be the same..? If that makes sense.
I like to put quality over speed but as my boss says not everything has to be built to nasa specs or comes in with a nasa budget.
I know you miss the mainline. But isn't it awesome making a living and not having to race to the bottom every day

That 1x6 u scred the receiver to is not held on to with much.... u should of founf the rafter talis
But... the 2x4 thats behind the 1x6 is attached to the tails... so hopefully u used long screes that hit the 2x4
It doesn’t matter that all of this metal is rusted? I know it’s mostly surface, but still, it’s thin. Or is this not rust?
It’s primer, and even then surface rust isn’t a bad thing
It's a valley rafter
Where do u buy your steel in Oklahoma?
Stillwater steel and rail road yard
No more pipeline ?
My understanding you cant put steel into ground with cement around it. It rust out over time. Their brackets that lift off ground about 2"-3" and then you trim wood trim or plastic around as base. To cover up mounting hardware.
Are you insured as a welding contractor?
Roughly how much are you paying?
C'mon you gone do some fabrimication yea buddy!
Honestly, get a porta ban.... save those cut off wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!
Real quick, why not aluminum??
🤷♂️ this is just what I know of to use. I’m sure I’ll venture out the more of this type of work I do.
