Outdoor Metal Arbor Gate Build | JIMBO'S GARAGE

[@jvazquez53]

Right now I'm looking through my window and I'm looking at a young welder working on my neighbor's porch building a porch rail. He is doing it right on the ground. You are 100% correct, at our age, it pays to have a good welding table.😁

Thanks Jimbo

[@donsmith9081]

Before you tack the arches you can put bar stock or something inside the ends and pry out to make it a closer fitup.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Good to see you hard at it. Hope you're enjoying your summer. Great gate!

[@NikicaVujnovic]

Thenks!!!👍👏

[@davesmith8936]

Jimbo... Luv your channel. We like you too much to see you put yourself at risk. You can afford to buy a 6 in or 9 in grinder. It's not just the lack of a guard. It's the fact that the larger wheels are rated for lower RPM so there is a VERY good chance that the wheel will blow up even if you "take your time and go easy". And safety glasses aren't going to help you one bit if one of those wheels let's go.

[@donsmith9081]

Agree or use portaban.

[@thebeardedstork432]

Pretty slick fabrication skills Jimbo! Beautiful job on this one! Hope you are doing well. Brian (Rattletrap2)

Great video. Why not use a portaband for those cuts? Also maybe a flaring jig for the radius pieces might help keep the ends flush. Strong work thanks for sharing.

Nice looking gate Jimbo!

[@keithparnas1495]

Beautiful gate jimbo

[@bradbiakeddy7460]

Excellent work!

[@johnpappas2060]

Bless Nice video. Beautiful job. Thanks 😊

[@tomasmerino1039]

Great one Jimbo. If you wanted the gate to be fixed to the arbor you could weld one of the hinges upside down so they are opposed

[@chris13ortega]

Awesome job 👍

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Third time's a charm! 🤙👍

[@thebeardedstork432]

We have nothing like your metal supplier here in The Great White North! Sure wish we did though!

[@jimpritz4169]

Great looking gate. You make these builds look so easy. Thanks for the video.

[@mikecollins9648]

Great looking gate Jimbo. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Very very nice Jumbo! Enjoyed watching!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very beautiful job. Hopefully they enjoy it for many years to come and get great use out of it for many years to come Jimbo. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Lovely work Jim

[@chrisbeard2654]

Great job Jimbo love your work.

[@mwinner101]

Looks great. Thanks for the video! 👍

[@dingui875]

C'est top!!!

[@LightningFabrication]

Hey Jimbo, Couldn't your metal supplier start in the middle of an XX ft piece of tubing, bend the radius and leave the ends straight and parallel to each other? You wouldn't have to weld on the sides and fill in the gap. Nice job, it turned out beautiful.

[@martinsteele3259]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@shbooby5258]

probably add quiet a bit to the processing price, i needed a 3ft arc section out 1" sq 12 ga steel and they priced it for 168 dollars 2 YEARS AGO! So i just ended up making my own sq tube bender and i can easily do 12 ga tubing and have done 1 and 2 in sq

[@renderwood]

Plain metal looks "industrial", but in the last picture painted it does look rather nice - especially if the homeowner will plant some vines to go over the top of it. Also the decor you installed looks much better after paint, it almost looks is those bars would have been forged & twisted. Well done!

[@peterd2116]

Try to use a Diamond Metal Wheel. It will last much longer, will not get smaller while cutting and it can not shatter into pieces. This configuration should be less dangerous even without a guard.

[@theessexhunter1305]

Very neat Jimbo best from UK

[@Mardy-old-Bstard]

Can I just say what a fantastic looking workshop. Are you sure you work in this or is it just for show. (Just kidding.)

[@timdtn1779]

I've been watching a bunch of your older videos and like what you do a lot. However, I find it frustrating when you spec out the metal but don't mention it's thickness. ie "I have a 2 inch by 1 inch rectangular tube, I'm going to turn into a gate.... " but you don't mention how thick 1/8, 16 gauge, .065 ?
This video starts with you saying you have 1 1/2 square tube (how thick?).
Thanks. Keep up the good work.

[@JOHN-hx3rr]

hi sir..thank you for your videos..just wanna ask how much amperage you use for your project?

[@kersi-sandiego6036]

Now you've got the wife all riled up. She's bugging me to make one for our place and I don't know the first thing about welding.

[@mikev.1034]

🤙🤘👍

[@chinaskibukowski7747]

Hey Jimbo, do you run 90/10 on the thinner materials you weld? 75/25 will give better penetration so I'm guessing you're using the 90/10 to lesson burn through and spatter on thinner gauge material. Or, is my hypothesis completely off?

[@renegamboa1310]

Try to put a sand inside the tube then weld before you bend it.

[@donsmith9081]

Good Idea.

[@tunafish3216]

That way that they roll that tubing looks like a lazy way to do it.
When I used to do this we capped one end of the tube and filled it with sand and cap the other end roll it cut the caps off and a perfect roll with no concaving much better roll.

[@oficinadofurtado]

👏👏👏🇧🇷

[@justathought5355]

I wonder how much he pays Keven Costner to narrate his videos?

[@arizadam12]

Jimbo, could you share any knowledge about doing a keyless entry door latch, the kind of box you might order from King Metals or some other site? Share any pitfalls you concern yourself with when considering such an addition? I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos the past year+ and really respect your opinion & content! Thx in advance for your thoughts!

[@nickv5123]

Find the latch you wanna purchase and see what size hole is needed to go thru a regular door. Then order the latch box with the correct diameter hole and it should be as easy as installing it in a regular door.

[@donsmith9081]

@@nickv5123 I installed a keyless that was taller than any lock box I could find. I welded on an extension and ground smooth.

Buddy, use a fiber cutter, it's cooler, angrier. Petal bullshit
