For both of y’all working full time jobs, y’all have accomplished one hell of a lot of jobs. Keep up the fantastic work.
Your neighbors must be so happy that you two bought that property! You have made amazing improvements and cleaned it up so nicely!
I wish I had 1/10th of your energy!
You both are amazing!
You just keep on getting better. Practice makes perfect. It will look great. My brother-in-law was a pipeline welder who worked all over the place. Loved his hats.
" Not really sure what to do here." Proceeds to make it look like its professionally done.
Great job Evan, you have some amount of tools at your disposal, and enough pipe to do whatever you want around your property. Great job on the fencing. You are very good at your angles. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️
A little hint, if you want to get another fifty years or more from the buried posts. Fill them with a light mix of concrete. Make a funnel that will fit on the post with a rod welded with a washer in the center of the funnel. This will hold a rebar in the center. When the pipes rust away, you'll still have a fence. Just a thought from Western Canada. Like your videos.
Agree, steel posts will condensate on the inside and rust out. Concrete substantially slows the process. Also, all posts, wood. steel or concrete fail at ground level, as the base is always moist, grasses blocking Sun & Wind from drying them out. Last always crown soil/concrete at base to shed water.
Its amazing to me how well you are able to do so many different things. You are very talented and brave!
I've been welding for about 35 years you learn to like gap
Time saving TIP......
For your angle brace miter cuts... Once you're happy with the free-hand cut and fitment... Take some cardboard and trace out, then cut you a new template. If all angle pipe are the same lengths, you may even be lucky enough to do the same procedure for both angle cuts. Should be a reverse pattern.
I hope this helps.
Nice work so far 😎🤠
Watched on Facebook. Good video
Two "tips"- Regarding welding, "do your best and grind the rest"...
Regarding fabricating- Start on the most remote area of the project. By the time you get to the "high visibility" area, you'll have your technique down pat!!
Great job at getting in there and just doing it!!
Looking good. I like how you work to make things look good. Blessings
Coming from an old pipe fitter we’ll make one out of you yet. All you need now is a heavily starched kaki shirt and a fitters cap pulled over your right ear!😉
Certified welder for 45 years, I have never seen anyone, cut uphill, and weld downhill.
I was welding uphill. Apparently, I need to show more than 2 seconds of a welding position for you to see which direction I was welding.
@@CountryViewAcres I watch a lot of your videos, just trying to make people who want to weld better. Good job, QI, Retired.
Great job Evan. I’m very impressed at the planning and patience you’ve shown in building out your homestead. Once you retire you will have a great time just taking care of the maintenance of your property. You have a Beautiful place you’re building.
What a great job you are doing.
when you have a big gap or hole - knock the flux off of one rod and hold the end in the gap and spot tack where the rod is with no flux and repeat . Try it and you will get the hang of it .
Another good way is used a metal coat hanger instead of a welding rod.
Looking Great , your welds look excellent for a novice , I loved arc welding...I've worked with POR 15 , excellent product ,just takes time to set up and dry, Great Video...Continued Success 👍
Evan by the time you complete your fencing projects, you will have the skills to have a fencing side hustle.
It is a lot to do and then film at the same time! Thank you for your efforts. Great work as usual. THANK YOU! See you next time and looking forward to it.
Your 2-7/8” and 2-3/8” will nest well and make hellacious hinges for gates and such.
Such a hard worker! And you make it look easy, and I know its not easy at all.
SOME HOW I LOST YOUR CHANNEL, I ENJOY WATCHING YOU FIGURE THINGS OUT. YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOME. TAKE CARE, GOD BLESS.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed your video Evan nice work. Have a great day.
Put you a can over the post to keep water out until you put caps on post
Looking good!😊
This is such a fun project to watch. Thank you for taking the time to show us your project! ❤🎉
We need more welders out in the workplace. Time to hang up the day job and become an independent contractor. You'd be surprised how much money you could make and not have to worry about a "boss" and budgets.
I think your fence braceings look great Evan, and they will last for many years and be well worth your efforts. Great to paint them with an antirust paint. If you have some plate steel laying around you could also cut out metal coins for caps.
Evan , ultimately, this is your property and your project. It only needs to meet your standards.
Well done I worked for a year as a welder repairing and building drill stem and cable stock yards.
Great looking fence. You should be very proud of your humble homestead.
Looking good Evan, you have a great set up for your portable welding outfit, just need to make it on a movable trailer of some sort. You're going to town with you new found fencing skills and it does look great. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Your welds look nice (better than mine). I hate welding pipe with a stick welder.
That plasma cutter makes the job 10 times easier.
Nice video. Thank you for sharing.
I'm surprised you haven't made a pipe guide for the angled pipes, you bought one for the straight pipe, I know you can build one for the angled pipes. you have all the tools and material to do it and with the all the other posts you will be making I think it would save you time.
All right, you got more piggy's coming,
No all will be pretty cuts don’t get a swelled head, but your good at this, your a natural, later you can paint all these dark green or black for pretty. You don’t even make a pattern tracer. Wow you make pretty welds. My daddy would be impressed. Remind us how many of these are you going to do.
This pipe idea works. It is an on going spring project, great videos and talking to us. You must have got some great prices on more pipe. It still works. 32 pipes and 20 at 10 ft. At what $200.
Excellent !!!
Looking good,
I think you did real good on the welding. You may have thought about this, but you could fill the thin post with concrete or an expanding foam to sturdy it up, just a suggestion. I wish I had done more welding back when I was your age, but I do have my sons to help me too. Good luck on the rest of the fencing, have a good evening!
You, young man are amazing, my husband G and I love watching your videos. Great job on the fence post everything is looking good. Say hello to your Beautiful wife, you both have a lot to be proud of with all the hard work you have done. Your animals are so blessed to have you both as their keeper. Always a great video.
Hello and greedings from Greece... I like and work in electronics from when i was 15 years old (now 55), and some years ago start to weld with elektrode (MMA), and every time i dont like the way i weld... (my ancle was a professional welder, and i know what good weld is, but very bad teacher). And then i bought a TIG/MMA welder. Now after 1,5-2 years the welding job for me is an enjoyment... I can weld everything and i am saying "i finaly find the welding iron for iron" (after 40+ years with welding iron in hand i am very good to weld electronic components - and not only -) Anyway the TIG welding for me is the best (not the fastest or cheap or easier because you have to cary also a heavy botle within), but if you start with TIG you will see the diference and enjoyment to make very good job, and sometimes beauty also... When you be familiar with TIG then you can make welding miracles concerning welding jobs with your hands... Sorry for my English...
Spoken well my friend. ❤
Thanks for sharing Evan. The fence looks great, coming along nicely. Stay well be safe.
You work so hard ! It really shows too . I am a nervous wreck watching all of this !! I LOVE YOU GUYS !! 🥰 🥰
Awesome video! So cool to see the generator working out good. Mobile welding like that could be super handy
Get yourself a mechanic’s “creeper” to make lying down welding a bit easier and you will get use of it working on equipment as well
You can use your cutting guide for the angle cuts. Mark out the top then move it 1". 3/4", 1 3/8" what ever you need for the other side or the pipe. it will work.
check out how Farmer Tyler Ranch got their cuts accurate by making a form out of another pipe.
It looks really good! Thanks for sharing!always enjoy your videos!
Evan, that is going to be one strong fence and it will look really good after you cap them and paint them and it will last for a long time.
Great job considering you're learning on the fly. I worked for a company for over 30 years that had a lot of professionally installed pipe railing like that and especially on those downward sloping sections you need to make sure you don't have even a small pin hole that will let water in. Over the years I started noticing several water freeze blowouts around the plant.
Planning ahead can never be understated! My Dad was the same way and it got him exactly where he wanted to be and under the best terms possible, in the long run…and that my friend is playing the long game as they say and exactly what makes a difference in success
Evan that Plasma cutter made you job that much easier, that gap is good adds more strength to the wield. Keep up the great work Evan!
Awesome Video again - Love the creativity
Looks great
Best wishes from a small holder in Ireland. Lots of hard work. Good luck
Looking really good. It will outlast you. Glad to see you're protecting your arms. Guessing you are using 6011.
Evan, years ago, you used to have a Silva Brothers t-shirt. Where did you get it? I mean Tom and Charlie are the masters of old home reconstruction.
Learning hell, you’re a pro.
POR 15 is an outstanding product! I use it on frames and the bottom side of my flatbed and any surface that is not exposed to direct sunlight, if it is exposed to direct sunlight I believe they recommend you put a topcoat over it. They maybe changed that in the past couple years?? It was about 2 years ago I did my flatbed and paint shop and can both said any surface exposed to sunlight has to have a topcoat on it
An exercise in extreme weight loss. Good you’re doing it before summer sets in.🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️
Nice job
Very nice
Love how dedicated you are to each project. Good work!!🇨🇦
Paint’um No Trespassing Purple lol An the wife might like it❤
Evan, I feel we're often a bit harsh when we try to offer constructive criticism - so I'm taking time to offer my congratulations. You've come a long way in your fence building career. From tamping wooden corner posts with a 2x4 to setting steel corner posts in concrete, with braces. By the time you get the outfit finished you'll be on the level of a pro.
After y'all retire from those jobs you have y'all can have a second career building fence together. I know a couple of man/wife teams who make a fortune doing it for hire. Fastest teams I've ever seen. I've watched them when I was planting a circle of wheat over two days last fall. Not one wasted movement by either of them all day long. It was like a ballet.
He drilled holes with a skid steer, while she laid out pipe, etc. They built a mile in two days and quit early both days. A mile of hi tensile 5-wire with 2 electeified goes for about 12K here. Subtract materials and that's some high-dollar labor.
thats some serious grass, its just started to turn green here, never mind grow.
To make an angled cutting template get a pop bottle, or another plastic bottle that will just slide over the pipe, and cut both ends off so you have a hollow cylinder. Then heat up one of the pipes really hot with a torch. After, melt the cut end of the bottle against the hot pipe at the appropriate angle for the brace. Clean it up, slide it on the pipe you want to cut, and mark away.
You can notch your short post first when you are putting your kicker in. This will keep you from needing a cap there and it will speed your progress up.
Evan one way to fill holes or big gaps is to lay a welding rod in it and melt the rod into the gap.
You have the shield ,gloves, and welding jacket. Where is you welding hat?😉😉😉
Thanks for another cool video, Evan. You are building some great fences! Donald
Watching you reminds me of myself when I was much younger. A real "go getter" and not afraid to work all day, even if it's a dirty or hot job. I only wish that my welding skill was close to yours.
The fence braces look really good and I'm sure that they will work well for you. Keep up the great work and the great videos!
I think you've done very with the project. Especially when considering the material at hand. 👍👍👍
I know you should always have your leathers on when welding guy and happy Cinco de Mayo
You certainly didn’t pick the easy option for your fence but it looks great and it looks strong enough to last a very long time.
Hello Evan, Several years ago, For portable welding I started using the 3/32 inch welding electrodes instead of the 1/8 inch electrodes which in my scenario was mostly the E7018 and sometimes the E7014 electrodes which allowed me a good hot arc but with a lesser amperage which really helped out for situations that the additional amperage that would have to be used for the 1/8 inch electrodes which would often blow out areas that you were trying to weld - Not good!!!
The downside with the E7018 electrodes was the moisture factor which made them a bit aggravating to strike the arc once they were out of the container for a bit. I was using a diesel Miller Big Blue 402, So amperage was never a problem.
Regarding the plasma cutter, Most people never realize that grinding a small area on rusty or painted metal for the clamp will make all of the difference in the world in the performance of the plasma torch which relies upon a electrical path just like any welder does. Hope this helps you out. Always enjoy your videos,Evan.
Good job Evan!
You’re doing a great job , learning along the way , I can so relate.
Wielding it practice practice and on and on . I've know some wielders and they are never satisfied with the last wield .
Mate can I say that was an amazing job good luck with your next project and wish you all the best
Try using coat hangers as filler material.
That thin pipe in the ground would bother me too. I’d fill it with concrete for peace of mind. Good work!
Get an umbrella. picnic table/tractor umbrella bigger the better stick it in which ever post you're working near . Work in the shade. Or a cheap folding canopy.
i have built alot of posts fences and i have found it is a good idea to drill a small hole like 1/4 or 1/8 in the bottom side of each pipe at the weld expectly on the down hill side so any water will drain out and also vent inside the pipe to keep it dry so it wont rust through so fast. will help keep your fence up alot longer
Welding sleeves you might want to look into
Evan, as they say, a blind man on a galloping horse won't see your welding. Don't worry as long as it's strong enough it will work.
Take one of your angled pieces with you and make a cardboard template from it. Cut it out and then make your marks and then fit the template around it and draw and cut. It works good. Your welds are looking good. Put the POR on it and it should be good
I guess you are officially a Farmer, meaning you can apply yourself to plethora of farm needs and do them each decently, (if not better), well. Fantastic stuff right there! Rebecca chose well! 😊
Great job Evan, Once painted look even better👍👍
I'd be happy with those field welds on pipe.
Looking good keep the bare skin covered when welding or plasma cutting. May be hot but Melanoma (skin cancer) from the UV exposure is a lot worse.
My welding jacket is also black but has flames and it's very hot as well.
Evan, a few years back before internet I bought plans and stuff from Farm show magazine, almost like a decal patter to cut metal pipes for different projects, never used them though.
Fill the vertical pipes with cement
Looking good! I know by now your probably mostly done but if you look up Austin Ross he offers a lot of advice and a lot of circle cutters and angle cutter guides and stuff for torches that he recommends and has lots of fence videos. Can’t wait to see the wire stretched!
Try using flux-core wire in your next fence pipe project, you might find it fast and easier for you than stick. By the way you need to topcoat the POR 15 because it will fade and turn chalky.
When you get them burn throughs turn the amperage down and just do like spot welds when the red goes away do another and keep going till hole is filled.
yes the welds look pretty to me so keep the great work guy
if you use por15 you also have to put a topping coat on it. It is not uv resistant
Doing well 👍👍👍
