"I'm feeling acrobatic", is why I'm sitting, standing, and leaning while I practice dentistry. "A welder can work from any position." Keep up the great content. This reminds me too well of my Grandfather's projects. Repurposed materials all the time, and everywhere. Burning rust all day long!
Really enjoy the farm video. Good therapy type of welding. Just you and your machine taking care of business and nobody is is aggravating you to get it done in a hurry.
Another great video Austin !! I like the way you cut the pipe right over the jack to keep the cutoff from dropping as you say I learn something everyday ( a lot from you ) as to the spark down the jacket I hate the sparks in the ear the most JB
Love watching your videos in the evening... Been a long hectic week... sit back and watch your videos help me to just relax! .. Thank you Austin!! Appreciate you! C'mon! :)
After the Eagle Ford Shale fracking business wound down here in S Texas we have guys selling miles and miles of used pipe. Yes, ya gotta be careful when buying it because a lot of it still has the salt in it. Great Repair Video!
Thanks for making my day, a true farm repair you made somebody very happy! I believe I know what that gate material was used for, please keep the videos coming and have a great weekend .
Thank you Austin for taking us along on the repair run and telling us more on used pipe. Stay safe around there and keep up the fun and good videos. Fred.
Hay Austin great video, I have found for better restarts on 7018 rods when you snap out drag the rod between your fingers while it's still hot and it won't glass over and restart easier
Thank you Austin, I’ve been watching lots of your videos. And one caught my eye. Sure love more information on how you built you gate stands. Soul love to build us a set as I have about 30 gates to build and hang. Did get a set of jacks and am ready to build some . Hope I will hear back from you . Thank ya Sir .
Like your work for this repair. Had to do same type of repair on my gravity fuel tank legs were rotting out at the bottom and in general the used oil was fairly well gone. Saddled new legs and welded them beside the old one except didn’t weld to tank welded to the cross members must be working tank still up. And the gate is cool.
Can’t help but mention for the youngsters, there is no such thing as 2-7/8” pipe. What you’re using is actually 2-1/2” pipe that just happens to measure 2-7/8” on the O.D.
I love your channel and how you do and explain things!!!!!! Question: When you turned over the steal angle welded the bottom of the plate, if you are trying to keep everything true and introduce as little distortion to the work, would you tack the back in a few places and then run the finish bead of weld? I get when the weld goes in, it is as hot and large as it will be thus it shrinks as it cools, you tack weld two parts to act as a clamp and hold things in place so to speak and then weld it together....probably should have finished watching before I ask the question.....did I tell you how much I love you channel???? lol
Hey Austin, Look up Marston Mat. Material used to make temporary runways in WW2. That’s what’s used in the center of your walk through gate at the farm
You see a lot of scabbed up stuff and used/repurposed material on old farms and equipment. Times have changed. Back then most folks could build something and make it work regardless if it was wrong or right. Material cost was more than labor then as well. And also they couldn't just whip out an order on the internet and have it the next day either. I might add that they lived in the Cold War era where they really thought that a nuclear war was going to happen any day. Remember the drills in grade school where you were suppose to hide under your desk for "protection" from nuclear warheads!?!?!? LOL!!! They did what they could with what they had and maybe didn't know any better. I deal with a lot of this on farms I do work on. It's absolutely amazing what they did with some of it having ZERO care that someone may have to replace what they built. Blows my mind!!! But hey!!! I don't know what they were dealing with that day when they did it either. Thanks for the channel Austin!!! You're a solid dude!!!
Thank you for taking the time to write this message. Yes, I’ve thought quite a bit about how things are done now days versus how they were back then on account of cost of labor versus materials. It’s definitely something construction companies have to keep in mind when weighing their options and hiring more experienced help versus less experienced help. Because that plays a huge part in how much a job cost. An experienced employee or contractor can get the same job done in a notably less amount of time than a less experienced employee or contractor.
Like the "less gab, more arc" production here. Looks like there's another post or two to replace at the ponyfarm there. Why no pancake? Having the sun behind my hood is why I want to try a pancake.
I’m genuinely kinda surprised at the condition of that barn for that age. I realize it’s a completely different design, but our barn is at least double the age if not older and it held up against 60+ mph winds just fine. This was really entertaining though because once we get electricity to our shop, things like this will be probably all I do all day at least for the first week or two.
I am no welder but I try. I think the answer is to get the tip of the rod in the correct or best position when you strike your arc. When that rod is new and long it is much harder to steady and place than when you have burned thru the first half.
@dougm5186 at around 19:00 I see what you are talking about he bends the rod at a 90 deg right by the stinger, he answered the question already but that is do clever why he does that!!!! I never saw that before and I see how helpful that can ! nothing like watching a pro work....I love watching this man work!!!!!!!!!!
I've not seen anyone remove the burned flux off the end. I don't have to tap the rod to remove the flux. Plus, I bend my rod to a 45° with it in a 45° groove. It's easier for me to comfortably alter my position and rod feed angle without breaking arc.
sorry if you already answered this question: you did not stop to chip/brush the slag off before you made your second, third, fourth beads.....I thought this was required when making tie-ins using 7018? am I mistaken? thanks.....just trying to learn.
No sir, it’s not required. Not on somethin like this. If I was testing I would definitely chip, brush, grind, ect. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/8q0oyrqcCOA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XuLlPD0dx5E3uveM
May be a strange question. But we live in the same area, I’m a plumber in local 430 here. Would be open to ever having some help on some of these side jobs you do? I’ve been wanting to expand my skill set and welding is something I’ve really taken an interest in over the year
Not the safety police here! I use my multitude of 2 step ladders all the time the same way as you do at around @ 17:00 but have to say a 3 step is really so handy and so much better to use some times for so many reasons..... I come from school of, you can never own or have too many ladders or clamps......just sayin....
I’m not certain on the details of this question. I just know that I’ve never had any issues with welding on the back of all three of my welding rigs I’ve owned over the years. And no one else I know has either.
Diesel mechanic here. The problem comes from if there isn't a good connection to the earth clamp, or it's placed a while away. It CAN cause a surge and pop drivers and controllers in ECUs. Have seen it happen on one occasion, and the clamp was put on crusty shit. Bright steel, close to the work I.e clamp on the work, not the bed when welding in a vice. End of the day, it comes down to not being stupid. It doesn't stop me welding shit on my ute, or trucks at work
so, what size pipe _do_ you use for a run in shed? I could use another decent shed. Somehow I don't think I can find a decent deal on used pipe in the mid east coast. :(
@@arossweldingabout that size you are working on... and the ocd part of me wants to take that gate, cut the middle in half and turn it over so the holes line up. ;)
You can buy a headset with the strap in it. If you got a 5” auto shield don’t do it, they’re just too heavy and the tightest you’ll get it will make it so uncomfortable you’ll end up throwing it away.
Not only does whatever is downhole impregnate in the steel, whatever they are pumping downhole is doing the same. I’ve seen inspected white band(0-12.5% wall loss) sit on a rack for a couple months deteriorate and probably re inspect at yellow or worse. Got to be careful when selecting red band or structural material for your welding projects.
Pipe that was either salt water flow line above ground or saw its fair share of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S, Sour Gas). It never stops rusting. I have some in my front fence that the pipe salesman slipped in on me. Looked good at the time, but is falling apart! Dang it.
Hearing that crispy wellen sound 👌 😊

Did that once. Not fun!

My pleasure!
hey you old barn weldor...have a wonderful Weeknd, Paul in Florida
Sir you are a human cnc machine! You inspire me to get better in the trade my self everyday!
Austin Ross is probably the only one on the Internet that knows what and how to do it right, and is the best instructor to learn from
By the way I've never met him

My favorite: good ol stepback after using a square or level technique
Love your welding shoes Austin.
Love the videos and love the quality of your work. Have a great and safe weekend brother!

With the welds on the bottom of the pipe, is it worth leaving a section unwelded to let water out?
What you are doing is called making it work, sometimes in the field you just have to make it work and use what you have
Like your work for this repair. Had to do same type of repair on my gravity fuel tank legs were rotting out at the bottom and in general the used oil was fairly well gone. Saddled new legs and welded them beside the old one except didn’t weld to tank welded to the cross members must be working tank still up. And the gate is cool.
That barn was literally held up just by hopes and dreams.
Some folks have less to work with... respect to their situation and lend them a hand like we all should. What goes around comes around.
Can’t help but mention for the youngsters, there is no such thing as 2-7/8” pipe. What you’re using is actually 2-1/2” pipe that just happens to measure 2-7/8” on the O.D.
As well as being able to use a normal torch. You don't need anything fancy like he has.
For the rest of the class - pipe is measured on the ID and tubing on the OD
For the high flyers - pipe is measured by the Id up to 12" and is measured by the od after that
@@keonplayford4901zackly
Thanks for commenting on nominal pipe sizes
Thanks for another great video. Have you considered weep holes in the base of your pipe to mitigate moisture accumulation?
Were you using 7018? I could typically tell because with 7018 you have to tap it a few times for it to start again once you made your tacks
I love your channel and how you do and explain things!!!!!! Question: When you turned over the steal angle welded the bottom of the plate, if you are trying to keep everything true and introduce as little distortion to the work, would you tack the back in a few places and then run the finish bead of weld?

Should you be using 6011 on that rusted metal
Hey Austin, Look up Marston Mat. Material used to make temporary runways in WW2. That’s what’s used in the center of your walk through gate at the farm
Cool gate wonder where tgey found the old runway plate pretty awesome
Old tubing came out of an oil well ,had salt water in it plus oil and chemicals just rusted away
Good work man 👍

I was just wondering why can u weld in the vise on the truck without disconnecting the battery??
I’ll make a video on this
Do you keep water nearby in case of a brush fire?
I’m genuinely kinda surprised at the condition of that barn for that age. I realize it’s a completely different design, but our barn is at least double the age if not older and it held up against 60+ mph winds just fine. This was really entertaining though because once we get electricity to our shop, things like this will be probably all I do all day at least for the first week or two.
Any thoughts on a horizontal pipe from damaged pipe to the gate post?
Be careful, never work off from the top rung of a ladder. Thanks for the video.
There's also a time for just plain old wood framing too
Just for our general edjumaction, why do you sometimes bend your welding rod?
I am no welder but I try. I think the answer is to get the tip of the rod in the correct or best position when you strike your arc. When that rod is new and long it is much harder to steady and place than when you have burned thru the first half.
That way I can change direction/angle of the rod quicker and to any angle I need to, to get comfortable.
@dougm5186 at around 19:00 I see what you are talking about he bends the rod at a 90 deg right by the stinger, he answered the question already but that is do clever why he does that!!!! I never saw that before and I see how helpful that can ! nothing like watching a pro work....I love watching this man work!!!!!!!!!!
There’s a stuff called paint, that might help with extending the life of tubes and fence
Good video.
Appreciate the videos man
My pleasure!
Is the used oilfield pipe economical to buy/use ? Source ???
Can you give some aluminum welding tips?
Hey Ross will you be willing to come to utah and build a custom archway and gates ?like you have in one of the videos
Swell stuff
I've not seen anyone remove the burned flux off the end. I don't have to tap the rod to remove the flux. Plus, I bend my rod to a 45° with it in a 45° groove. It's easier for me to comfortably alter my position and rod feed angle without breaking arc.
Very good Video 👍 👍
What was your amp setting for this pipe with 3/32" 7018?
Have you ever thought about getting the suit case? .040 wire?
Yes

Using a stinger for a chipping hammer? The boss see you oh , he’s going to lay an egg

How do you prevent from frying your electrical system in your truck by welding on your vice. I'm wanting to build a welding rig that is why I'm asking
I’m not certain on the details of this question. I just know that I’ve never had any issues with welding on the back of all three of my welding rigs I’ve owned over the years. And no one else I know has either.
There is no issue because the current return is to the origin-the welder, not the DC system of the truck.

i have been acrobatic straight to the ground on several occasions, lol.
If it lasted 40 years, now it’s fixed , your grandchildren will have to replace it.
What heat/polarity are you running?
Hmmmm, I wonder if that coffee mug is for sale....👌
nice welding,.
Hey man what brand khakis are them?
Carhart
Appreciate ya buddy 💪🏻 have an awesome week
so, what size pipe _do_ you use for a run in shed? I could use another decent shed. Somehow I don't think I can find a decent deal on used pipe in the mid east coast. :(
It depends on the dimensions of the shed
@@arossweldingabout that size you are working on... and the ocd part of me wants to take that gate, cut the middle in half and turn it over so the holes line up. ;)
They used 2 7/8 pipe for the posts/Collum’s here. And for the runs under the Z perlin
Is the 3/32 rod easier to control than the 1/8 7018?
It's just as smooth just makes a baby bead
🤔 in some situations, yes. Others, not so much.
slightly easier to bend!
Got any videos how you added the strap to the hood instead of the ratchet? Cmon
You can buy a headset with the strap in it. If you got a 5” auto shield don’t do it, they’re just too heavy and the tightest you’ll get it will make it so uncomfortable you’ll end up throwing it away.
@@samuelsnyder5169 sounds good. I’m a 2x4 guy through and through so no problem with that. Thank you

Is that rotted stuff not just plastic lined pipe?
I have no idea 🤷♂️
Don't think that existed 40; years ago
I'm feeling acrobatic caught me off guard lol
If they got 40 years from that pipe then they got their money.
❤
concrete lined pipe is what that is i believe
When you said you need to cut a circle while holding a stick my mind went please don't 😂....(even tho you could)
Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍
I like your welding boots😊 they are cool as a cucumber
