- THE TRICK TO HANGING A PERFECTLY LEVEL GATE
In this video, we are back at the pipe entrance project. Today I’m installing the driveway entrance gate and stringing barbed wire fence. I’m Austin Ross of arosswelding and on this channel, I share my experiences as a rig welder and what I have going on in my mobile welding business. To hang this heavy duty gate I use a combination of the skid steer and my gate jacks to align it with the pipe post and get it level. Hanging gate can get frustrating so I’m sharing my best trick to making sure they end up level! Then I spend the rest of the day stringing barbed wire building barbed wire fence from the gate brace to the corner post.

Throw a chock under the back of your tire before you DC the trailer, then spotting on the ball to reconnect is a breeze. Nice fence!!!!! Love how you care that it's good and straight.
In Australia we call them star pickets. A lot of fencers out west have a small generator on their Ute (pick up) and have a swing arm with a jack hammer hanging off it. A simple cup tool to fit the jack hammer and over the top of star picket.
Great work, looks really good. As a carpenter I just can’t see that gate not sagging over time , even without ground movement, given the hinge separation to gate width ratio.
I should start doing small jobs like that in my spare time, I was a Iron Worker for 8yrs building Ethanol Plants I was lead Connector walking "I" beams connecting the steel, really fun and still would be doing it but had a kid and no longer like traveling far anymore. Now I have been doing City Work for about 14yrs in the City I live in and everything is working out perfectly. Keep up the good work and entertainment you have on your channel 👍😉
I really appreciate the thought effort that went into the oval gate catch, outstanding craftsmanship
I honestly just started watching these videos and this inspires me to finish welding school. Also, to start a company putting gates/fences. I wanted to get an idea on how to start it and you my friend just helped me out. Thank you 🙏🏽
I don’t watch you everyday Austin but I watch every now and again and it’s like catching up with an old friend I’m glad to see you’re doing well.
The jacks that you use to level the gate .. caught my attention
Could you include some shots of how you put together the jacks you used to hang your gate? Thanks! Clean work!!
Yeah I'd like to see the design of them jacks
@@texaswesternwelding915 they are trailer jacks.
Trailer jacks with hooks to grab the rails of the gate
Austin, your craftsmanship is superb. Excellent job my brother, but a good coat of paint would really make it stand out. Keep up the great work.
You can drill a hole in the bottom of your gate for a weep hole to drain condensation and same with the rails on gate and fence
Austin takes his time and builds it right, thanks for sharing..true craftsman.
Glad to see you still doing for yourself 👍👍...that gate latch was top shelf
Another great one I used the ol texas tig process today to fill a gap and I'm telling you it was spot on so using techniques from your channel often keep em up.
Good deal! I’m glad they’re helpful!
I am digging the music.
Nice work little buddy ! Come on !! PS thanks for the tip on the clamp in gate vid , Its works awesome
Tack the top hinge and let the gate hang under it's own weight. Keep the gate straight with latch post so the hinge doesn't turn and make the gate fall. If the gate hangs level you're good. If not you can lift the latch side and add a shim on the bottom hinge to bring it up to level.
That gate came out great! Nice work
That's a very nice and straight fence
Pipe Dream! Nice! Thanks
Was that the owner “eagle eyeing” you the whole time ?
Looks great ! Nice job, as usual !
Thanks
I'd charge extra for the " Bird Doggin"
You should talk about how you twisted your oxy-fuel hose like that and how it doesn’t untwist on you.
That's a old trick
He made a video about it
Good looking gate for a nice piece of property.
Pure awesomeness 😎🤠🎩
Good work Austin. Just subscribed, been watching in the wings for a while and really like your style and welding ethics. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow that looks great. Nice job.
Yeah, somebody made a comment about the owner looking over your shoulder. You just act like he’s not there, then when he says something, you act surprised, like you never knew he was there. I used to do that until I realized that they just liked to watch a professional in action.
you do good work. it turned out nice, putting up the wire fence goes a lot easier
The fence and gate look good by the way
I like the greece zert idea, I might steal that. As for ground shift, deeper down the posts go the less that's as much of a problem. Kinda like footings on a house, frost line up is where most of the movement is. I want gate and corner posts set at least 4' deep. I also like tabs or bolts in the bottom couple feet of posts, and in concrete, so they don't creep/Jack up during freezing/thawing.
Looks good Austin hinges ,the latch the gate came out real nice
Thanks
beautiful work Austin!!!
putting some big Spindels between door and post makes it adjustable, if something is moving. Just drill holes thru the post an stick the spindels thru it to adjust.
Another great video thanks
Thanks for supporting Levi.
Another great job!! Love it
good craftsmanship
Great video! Did you have any more details on the fabrication of the gate and hinges shown in this video? Thanks for all the cool content.
Very professional job!
I think I would go nuts if the owner was standing over my shoulder the whole time.
Bird doggin at its finest 😂
I know it drives some crazy but I've luckily had great customers I enjoy getting to know. It's a big investment into the property and I can understand them wanting to see it all come together. I know I enjoy that part of building myself.
@@arosswelding I think a lot of customers are just curious, want to watch a skilled craftsman at work and maybe learn a little along the way.
some of us like to watch it in real life rather than youtube
Simple solution charge him extra being in the way
When doing mobile welding how do you always find jobs?
I really like the braces and the gate work and design. Yes, some grease zerks on the hinges would have been nice. Did you think about getting some cheap labor and offering to paint the metal work?
Not cheap but we do hope to get into painting or find someone who does on-site sandblasting and painting. That would really take it to the next level and make it last even longer!
Job well done sir,
Good job AR,I don't know if you do rhis with barb,but I always do top wire first,less hanging up.Good job
Hey man just wanna say ur badass keep it up!
i wanna job building fence like this this is cool
I like your work keep it up hello from tx conroe tx
I'll try to. Thanks, Jose.
You should show more of your welds after!!
Awesome work bro!!!!
Did you weld a collar to the gate above the hinges to keep the gate from sliding down?
Yes I did
Burnt Fingers, looking good. Zerts would have been good but on a hot day in Texas day, they sometimes pop.
They wouldn't pop, being wide open on the backside
You did a fine job Ross! 😃👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Where did you get your welding bed from? Or did you build it yourself! Anyway that’s a nice one! Thanks!
Thanks, Ricky. I built my bed myself. It's homemade and starting to get rusty now
Austin Ross It sure is nice Ross! Would you mind sharing some information about how you made it! Such as rolling the curves an bends to match your truck body. Rolling the fenders or are they cut from tube turns etc. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Just a highly detailed print would be awesome!! Lol. 😂
Do u have a video of how u make and measure the gates and the hinges
Hello there, did you make your gate?
Whats that clear liquid you are drinking? It doesn't look like coffee at all!
cant wait
C'mon!
Hey austin can you post pictures of those jack stands
How do you go about charging for a job like this? Did you do hourly or a fixed price bid? I’m looking into getting into this kids work and am just curious. I love the idea of cutting holes in the uprights that saves a lot of time.
Austin are those trailer jacks to help level your gates up
Just wondering if the wire was anchored to the clips welded to the pipe post? If so the bend in the wire around the clip result in excessive stress on the wire. I would think that arrangement will cause the wire to break at that stress riser. Sorry that is the mechanical engineer talking. The farmer in me believes the clip are designed to prevent vertical movement of the wire.
3 inch pipe 5 inch long an cut horizontal u have to cups tack on ends so ur gate can site on them inch an a half up on other side
hope you are staying safe
Good job man!!
Can you do a review on your gooseneck trailer?
A quick link to the apparel and shop supplies would be really neat.... or website
Ok ARoss- how much is “just a scoche” on This Gate? You said leave the latch end up just a scoche when you weld the hinges- so it will drop at the latch end. How much? 1/2”???
Just watched this video and Craig Kersting said it for me...that guy standing and watching over my shoulder - would have had to tell him go find a job somewhere else. Had an Engineering Officer do that...I stopped & was asked WHY. Just looked at him, I was civilian welder in my shop, he was Coast Guard. HE got the point and left.
Could you do a video over your Tom waters glasses and why a lot of pipelines have them ?
Right on
Badass but what kind or size pipe are you using because I’m gonna attempt to make a entrance gate for my family even tho I’m a beginner
Do you have a link to where you can order the straight torch att.?
What do you do for fire prevention?
Looks great
I need to learn from a skilled welder in north Texas. I'm doing small jobs around my place but want to improve the quality of my work. I've built some chicken coops and need to do a lot more. I'm about to build a fence. I'm oilfield on a 14/14 schedule. Supplemental income would help tremendously too. Any suggestions for finding a good mentor? Wise co, TX.
That will save your shoulder,trust me I have had rotatercuff surgery (never the same)
pipeliners cloud umbrella? good or trash?
Love your channel but when are you going to replace your busted windshield
Will you go back to pipeline welding
Whats your thoughts on Keystone pipeline.
Their block/hold but will be lifted in new year to come.
Thousands of jobs will be opening up. Not shore whats best company or Union out there.
Like know mire but don't have any contacts on this pipeline.
Still I have $67,000.00 to buy truck, welder, and gear, tools.
Is possible to make $150,k if working full time?
Arm pay, rug pay, etc.
Whats your thoughts on all this?
Austin, I've done some gates as such. I have been doing some stuff that completely fixes the sag on the gate. Hit me up if you'd like the idea.
Just yank it around with the bobcat to make it perfect..... Avoid plastic deformation in places that could stretch or compress while welding with or without a support.
What schedule pipe do y’all use?
Good man
😎 , thanks bro!!
Thank you!
Man that looks great Austin!!! Definitely wear your sun screen, I am waiting on the word from a biopsy from a spot on my upper back. I never thought it would happen to me. Hoping for the best. Keep burning rod buddy, once again nice work!!!!
A frame prints would be awesome! let me know when that is posted on your site.
They are available now! 👌😎
How do you quote your jobs to make sure your asking the right price not over charging or under charging??
Austin: Are you still doing WEEKLY Friday posts? I haven't been notified since this Aug 7th post [nothing new for Aug 14 nor 21 to my gmail account]. I am still showing Subscribed.
You bet! Every Friday!
@@arosswelding Please provide the links for Aug 14 & 21 posts since they are not in my gmail. I don't know how to find them? Thanks DG 44401
FYI Austin: I unsubscribed and then re Subscribed and sellected ALL notifications. Maybe that will get me to receiving new posts again?
is the weight of the gate the only thing holding the gate in in the hinges in the middle?
No, there’s a stop under one of the hinges that keeps the hinges in the middle
Great job on that fence and gate!! When you strung that smooth wire,I noticed you didn't have to wrap that wire around the post a few times.I guess it is just as good of a hold as wrapping around the post a few times.I will look into ordering a circle burner.I need to find the straight burner piece to adapt to my journeyman.Excellent Video's.
What welding rods do you use? Do the welds not rust?
When will you have more circle burners for sale?
Hopefully this week
Use t-post long enough that the top strand is below the silver section.
Do you work your rods while welding or just drag them
Why is your gooseneck ball so far back?
It would be nice if tell us how much u charge for jobs like this .
I can't see what is keeping the gate from dropping down through the hinges...magic?
Looked like there were two nice trees, at the gate entrance....
Austin, do u plan on getting back on the pipeline once the economy picks back up? I enjoy your videos, and I wish you continued success in all your endeavors bud
🤷♂️maybe. Never know what the future holds
@@arosswelding so not really
Haven’t seen dogs or Kayla in videos for awhile. They on restrictions?
No restrictions just haven't come up with the time to edit videos for the other channel. We hope to be back on there eventually though. Thanks for asking!
How much did you charge for the job
Are you related to Dustin from smarter everyday?
🤣damn! You got spray that much 🌞 screen? How y'all ruled Egypt as Pharoah? How was y'all the damn chosen people?! 🤣😅😂
