Great job C.B.! The normal procedure on most sites nowadays would have been: Find the guy who measured, blame him and order a new piece! Luckily there are still Professionals like you!
Well said some of us would have given our right hand for a start up job at the beginning of our journey into the big bad world of construction and fabrication regards as always please stay safe when working at heights and a lone ⚒️🏴🇬🇧👍
Enjoyed the video, CB! Especially enjoyed the I-beam extension and the 7024 1/4” rod burn. I just got in some new high deposition flux core wire. Looking forward to seeing how it runs. Your weld beads look very solid. Thanks for sharing!
If your new high deposit flux core does good for ya let us know...may want to try some of it...post a video or some pics Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice work I love burning those 1/4 jet rods when needed The wife is working on getting me a couple t shirts from you guys can’t wait Cheers from Nova Scotia
We do a ton of residential steel buildings I’ve been trying to break into more commercial steel any advice on who to contact? Also would it be worth it to get multiple hands d11 certified or would it be an unnecessary expense?
Not sure how ya get into the commercial work...I just get calls and answer them The only certification I've ever been ask to provide for structural work was a basic state welding certification and that was only required because it was a prevailing wage job was for the state back in 1997
If the bad airbag was on the filler side, could a half inch of sag due to the bag also have changed the angle of the filler neck and added to the problem?
No need for bevel...structural weld with access to weld both sides and no reason weld would be ground off...beveling would be a waste of time in this case...no code to fallow and no inspection...it just needs to hold....and that it will do
Know that was not really a structural part of the building, probably just supports overhanging canopy off front of building! Who screwed that measurement up? Did you cover your ass with respect to that modification? If anything ever happened to that canopy, you know who they would hang first, and it wouldn't even have to do with that extension or your welds, the other end could fail and you would get dragged into it!
Did you hear when I said it was entry level work...they've had guys welding bar joists and beams down on jobs like this with less than 6 months in welding school and no prior construction experience at all...it's a way to get some experience If flipping burgers appeals to you more than getting experience in a skilled trade then by all means go flip those burgers
Unless you plan on investing 4yrs in an apprenticeship 13 to 18 is about tops for a green horn welder with zero bennies ..and you'll be working like a dog for every penny

Nice work, C.B. Always first class !!! 👍👍👍
Thanks again!

Make it happen brother. Great advice to the younger guys. Everyone had to start somewhere.
Another great video. I love the shirt, Thanks.

It's the way to go if you're doing multipass structural iron moments even single pass inbed welds, the drawback is toating around the the feeder
exceptional.
Nice job looks awesome
Thanks 👍
Funny, I just did pretty much the same beam splice. Great video! 👍
Nice work
Lot of work for one guy

That's great thank you...thanks for watching and commenting too...enjoy hearing from you
Nice job. Good save.
Thats tthe way to weld youngins lol. 1/4" 7024 /7018. A lot of the makers of rods are cutting the sizes available to 3/16...shame. Beautiful job NBS!
Nice work & way to "get 'r done" on the I-beam. Looked like mostly 7018....but made me wonder if the larger welds on the back side were jet rod-?
Both of the long web welds and the backside edge weld were 1/4" jet...that backside edge weld is one pass covering two seams
Another great video!

Airbag didn't sag or leak...it just looked bad
I don't think the two issues were related at all
@@NBSWELDING glad you were able to sort it out. who made the airbag system and does it use a electric/belt/pto compressor?
Word

Thank you
No beveled edge for full pen? Yikes 😮! lol

I have no idea what lead to the beams not fitting...not worried about it
15 bucks an hour, I could make more per hour flipping Hamburgers, I thought welders make good money

Yeah, and only get 15 hours a week. Get real.

Hey man I'm trying to get a handle on pricing similar jobs, do you estimate hours at a shop or field rate or go by weight of steel?
This was by the hour and they got the steel before I met this outfit
Nice job looks awesome
Thanks 👍
@@NBSWELDING you are very welcome
