    getting the center line from the hole centers is the most accurate way. Well done on showing something correct on you tube.

    You should take a piece of heavy duty angle and clamp it to your plate so you don’t have to worry about it going anywhere. Then all you gotta do is push it plum and tack

    Great job! Ur doing ur job properly, unlike my workplace who are also a structural steel fabrication company however they tack their plates on unclean and on rusty beams with mill scale too. This is the proper way to do it. Grind the weld area of any rust and mill scale for a stronger weld and reducing the risk of porosity or other weld defects which may lead to re-work. But once again, my workplace dont care and if they get porosity they just weld over it and theyre like "ohhh itll do"

    the way you have showed @ 3:30 to layout the plate, i find it is easier and faster to lay the plate out by finding center of holes and add half the thickness of the web and draw your line, then draw a perpendicular line through the hole center and mark the location out on a beam , rather than marking out the flange locations of the beam on the plate. this allows you to tack on the web and pivot your plate on the tack and make your web perfectly square to the holes. works amazing for heavier baseplates that must be put on with a jib crane, because you only have to line one spot up and tack it then you can adjust it with ease

      Programming a robot to weld a structural member would take a long time, costly, and it wouldn’t ever be done unless there were hundred if not thousands of these exact members being produced. Robots are good in manufacturing a specific part that is to be made in large quantities like cars. Unless Elon Musks new robot has ability to fabricate.
