I too learned the hard way that barrel hinges are one direction only. It was when I opened the door on a 1500lb gun safe while it was upside down after a move into the basement (I wanted to remove the shelving before flipping it upright). The door came off. I'm not a fast moving guy, but I was that day, thank God.
I close somebody's gate in west Vancouver a very expensive suburb, and the gate broke while I was closing it and I went and looked at the wall and I showed him just what was wrong with it to a Layman who had done metalworking before and he got the guy to come out to sex it and actually do a good job this time
Good video I liked it. Question for everyone I’m a full time welder / fabricator I started doing a couple side projects lately really for friends. But I’m starting to get into it more now My question is what is everyone hm barging an hour for side work at work we are around $100-$120 an hour not really sure what to charge I don’t mind giving friends a break and not looking to charge a fortune but hey everything else doubled in price with inflation really $100 an hour seems reasonable I would think $50 an hour at least is fair maybe more or less depending on who or what the job is and how established your business is. What do you all think??🤔
I went and bought a big bike carrier for my hitch on my van. Unfortunately, the thing is heavy enough that I can't just jury rig something to hold it up out of the way. For $50 worth of materials and another hundred of welding at a heavy mechanic shop, it's going to be a proper holder that I can just bolt to a pony wall somewhere with some concrete anchors and then it's a up out of the way and B I can put all my bikes into it and Come Away with a bit more room in my garage
Man, awesome video, great tips, and advice. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for watching!

great video
Nice work. I wasn't sure what you meant by "elevation" at the end. Does the place the gate was installed slope?
You can weld the hinges any orientation. If you wanna weld them upside down weld the female to the post and male to the gate.
I live in rural NY-lots of farms around. Farmers break stuff on a daily basis. If you're ok with cow shit go get it!
