- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- It’s finally time to hang gates on the 8” Pipe Entrance Project. This is video ten in this series. I’ll be hanging both custom pipe gates I built a few videos ago in my shop here on-site by myself with the help of my gate jack and welding rig gin pole. It’s so great to have these homemade tools that allow me to do bigger projects like this myself and with minimal equipment.
We have at least one more video in this series coming next week so make sure to subscribe if you want to be notified. You can find links to the rest of the series below as well as links to the store. You can buy digital prints and material list to build your own gin pole and gate jacks from my shop.

It’s leveled WITH THE WORLD 😂😂
Yup me as well 🤣
Great job, great advice
dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of months xD
@Rey Benedict Definitely, been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)
@Rey Benedict yup, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :D
Charge what your worth but be worth what you charge. This is what I was tough.
Built my shop gates after watching your videos. I’m doing a good sized set for the house now too! It’s hard work but fun
Well I just wanted to say
that all the work you put
in on this project. Really
paid off the end results
look great. I'm sure the
land owner will be please.
I enjoyed following this
project. Keep up the work
Beautiful job Austin
Me gusta mucho tu trabajo yo soy de Hermosillo sonora México.
I am glad you like my work. Thank you for watching!
Very well done. It'll last forever. And look great just as long.
Thankya. Thanks for watching!
Looks great! Makes me want to buy that piece of land! Hey...... that might be a good niche!
excellent ,, it will last for a 100 years.
That’s one sexy entrance and the extra time it took to build those gates the way you did was well worth it 👍🇺🇸 come on!!!!
Austin the entrance has turned out amazing 👍👍👍👌👌👌
🤞 that the tacks didn’t break on that top hinge
Oh that cat Karen shows up on the job that's a great one
🤦♂️
this might be a stupid question but why are those cats showing up?
Awesome Austin 😀👍 New subscriber!
I don't know why but Austin is always calm and mellow its kinda therapeutic watching your videos
Dang it Bobby! That's a mighty fine & handsome entryway & gate that I've ever seen! Seriously, quality work & appealing to the eye. Many thumbs up & tons of follow up work is coming your way. Peace, brother & God bless ya'll! Paul
Just a nood from another Old Okie
Shidler. Like what your doing encourage all the young blood. I used to cut with oxygen now I wear it, Ha
Learned to cut and weld form grandad and dad they were both pipe fitters. I went the way of an Ironworker wanted to put them up.
Worked me last 3 years with the pipe fitters on a hanger crew at a power plant. Good wages and benefits . Keep up all your good videos.
Hi Austin,
How and who’s going to rust proof the gate/fence and what paint would you recommend? Love your work buddy 🇬🇧👍
that is beautiful. how wide is entrance?
Give us a video on your gin pole set up c’ mon.
I second that.
That’s what I’m saying
You gate job turned out perfect nice job Austin 👍
Thanks!
Starting a welding business. First, figure out what services you want to provide. There are people that work in their garage and never leave for a welding job. There are folks that don't have a home and live on the road. Until you figure out what market you want to do, you can never do it. If you try to be everything to everyone, you will never be any good to anyone. Me, I was a structural mobile welder. My truck is an ex railroad truck. F700 with a crew cab, tool boxes and a knuckle boom. I carry way more tools on my truck than Ross does but I used to do a lot of stuff onsite. I even have a track torch and a small hydraulic (shop made benchtop) for and a good number of portapower tools to straiten and bend things in the field. Think it through. Is welding or even owning your own business what is good for you. You have to understand owning your own business is tough sometimes. You have to be willing to get punched in the face over and over again and keep getting up with a smile. Once you get established and you start making a profit, make sure the business doesn't go up your nose. I can't tell you the number of people that I've seen earn more money than the average factory worker and suddenly they are way over their head and loose everything because they just aren't cut out to deal with the troubles of owning your own business.
I can't say this enough but absolutely love your work. Can't wait tell I get my own rig put together and be able to do some of the things you do for a living. I'm getting ready to start my first welding/fabrication job a week from now.
Well done. From start to finish (design, welding, pipe fitting, fabrication, installation and video presentation) has been a real treat. Happy for your success.
i said i wouldn't comment till you were done and i have to say that cameout supper sweet. theres only one thing i would have put some kind of a scroll or something fancy on top the gates
Will those gates swing both ways? Love the videos!
Yes they will
Plumb, the word is plumb, not level. Very nice job!!!
How do you carry that boom around? Also why do you weld uphill ?
Dagum its Karen.... lol
lost art....pride in your work....enjoyed it
👌
Something that's heavy like this and knowing it will drop I level it higher, it will even out and "Be Level with the World"
I'm really enjoying watching your videos.
I've been thinking about getting started with a small welding business for years. Still waiting for the opportune time. In the meantime I've been building up my inventory and accessories. Still have one more major purchase to make before I can turn it into a reality.
Thanks for all the advice on share. I'll take any and all, and divvy it out as and when needed.
Thanks brother. Keep em coming.
P.s. great work kn that whole gate. Nice job
Impressive work! Thank you for sharing.
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Where does one find a sling like that? All mine are ones from my work deemed by the safety man to be "unfit for lifting" 😄😄
I bet the owner(s) smile every time the pull up to that entrance. It looks great!
They are pleased with it!! I love seeing the end result!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Austin, those are definitely words of wisdom. Square deals and good honest work !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Great advice in the end...amazing work on the job....God is good
Another awesome video that entry way is just awesome and with the gates set it really look awesome keep up the great work.
one thing i get a lot down here in the south tx is negotiation almost seems like an action but i try to hit a close budget when it comes to that point. job well done
Hey! I see grease zerks! Awesome buddy. Looks great!
Looks like one heck of a nice job! Those gates really look good. Are you going to use chain to lock them or are you going to build a slide latch. Just wondering. Once again that is a very nice looking entrance! Keep up the good work and be safe.
They are just going to use a chain. Thank y’all for watching!
I’m glad to see you took my advice and installed diagonals on these gates, they will stay square for ever! Looks like a lot of work!
You reckon the gin pole would work on a truck with a regular bed? I'm thinking if the chains were welded higher up to clear the tailgate, and you could connect them to the pin in the gooseneck hitch maybe? That's a sharp-looking entrance you've built
I used it on my other truck that had a reg bed but I just took the tail gate off and hooked the chains to a couple of after market hooked that were in the lower corners of the bed.
wow like all ur projects PERFECT !!!! lookin gooood
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Always a great feeling when austin uploads on TH-cam, Come on! 😎
C’mon now... 😂
Just wanted to let you know that you’re in the same place I was about 30 years ago. Not a bad place to be, because the advice you gave was spot on. When I was still rig welding, for other companies, I decided to stay where I am and start a business. I was here for a year and a half welding high pressure steam pipe. It took a while for the folks to come. But word got around kinda quick. I’m not from this part of the state, but now I’m supposed to be retired and the regular customers won’t let me. Lol. But now its not a job, because I work at my pace and not pipe. 50 years of pipe is enough. But I love to build what people dream of. Keep up the great work and it’s hard to drag up when you work for yourself. Good luck
Mr Ross can I get some advice I'm doing an gate repair and it's got so much I need to weld up its not iron gates I've done the blacksmithing part but what electrodes would you recommend 6013s or something different as I need to order them before I weld up and finish?
Hello Austin my name is Michale i e been welding for a little over two years now been in business for myself for a little over a year. I want to let you know that I'm a big fan of your work. I was hoping that maybe I could get a little bit of advise on a project that I've been working on for a couple months now. So my question is, about how far do you think one can span a gate made up of 2-3/8" used oil field pipe without too much of a sag. Because I've got 32' entryway and My customer wants double swinging gates and I'm just not real sure that it can be done without shortening the entry way about 6'. What the customer wants is 2 (roughly) 16' double swinging gates. The fence is 5' tall so to match the fence I figure I'm going to have to build the gates at about 4'- 8" to accommodate for a little bit of sag. The largest gates I've ever hung were 12' and I had hell getting them level with no sag. I will be using pieces of 2-7/8" pipe for my hinge system..Similar to what you use in the video... You got any tips or tricks you can help a poor white boy out with..? Before I go and bite off more then i can chew. Thanks in advance.
That is true art!!!!! Beautiful work
I think your amazing wish I came across your videos when I had my 200amp.field welder it was on a trailer pulled with a uhall truck I also bought miss it,love your videos and your welding truck be well be safe
I would add that you need to be cautious of how much you sweeten the deal. You scale it back 40% like in your example, even people that are worth doing repeat jobs for will start to give second thought to similar/same jobs with a much higher price tag when work isn't hand-to-mouth anymore.
THATS AWESOME!!! Its crazy you do that alone. I would help you for free just to get tips on how to weld and maybe build myself a cool BBQ grill.
Speaking of tires, here's something I've wondered about.. Most all welding beds I see have only one or two inches clearance between fender n the duals. Don't you have a Lot more suspension travel than that ? Don't your tires scrub the fenders when you hit a bump or pothole ? What gives ? Style ?
Man you make it look so easy! Love this project!
Beautiful work Austin keep it up.
Austin you are getting better and better. Off your advice I purchased my 1st SA200.
There is a shortage off craftsmen,and all the managers cant change that!
i swear i saw you out near tahlequah last thursday. when i was out on one of my runs for work. but prob someone with a truck like yours building a fence like you are... lmao
jobsite Karen! HAHAHAHA! great piece of advice at the end. God bless you and Kayla.
Would you mind to show the winch setup you have got for lifting. Will be much appreciated!
Man ive got to hurry and make that gin pole. Bought your plans so hope to have it together soon. How long of a reach does your have now?
What would you say is the best way to join the workforce in welding after going to school for it.
Where do you buy your pipe for the fence? In Oklahoma the closer to Tulsa the better
Good afternoon
I have a question about the cylinders. Can they be on their side or standing up
Make it look too easy.i may just swallow my pride n hire you to build the rest of my place 😄
Can you make a video on the pole that is mounted on your truck, please Mr Ross.
Come on where is the B roll footage of you getting around those gates once they were closed on the gate jacks?
My ownly problem is the loss of flow due to all the ads that interrupt the video.
So you are customer service first, a welder/service/fabricator second. Anyone can sort of be a contractor. Very few take care of their customers. Like you said, maybe break even on the first job, earn respect, prove your worth. It will pay off with customer service. The Japanese call that Kaizen. It came from Dr Demming. Continuous improvement.
Hey"A" man. Its a nice job, well done. Looks like you know what your doing,lol. I enjoyed the series, thanks for taking us through. Im not trying to judge, however its been my experience that when someone else doesn't like the price, you will often "jip" yourself out of getting paid. Hood down lights on.
Couple of questions. Why not use the cold saw on flat bar? And do the bottom stops on the hinges help tp keep gate straight once they are welded even tho there’s some slop? Thanks. My dad was born in Cushing and my grandmother taught 2d grade there. Until the late 1950’s
Draw it out on paper , possible add some thing too triangle for show.
What a great job and you were able to add some comedic value with Karen da cat! 😂 I’ll be honest also. Definitely making me some gate lifts.
One man show here too. Those change everything.
Thanks A Ross
Howdy! Started welding Tech School first week almost done. Do you have any advice for 6010 root passes... everytime i try to keep good penetration the stick get stuck usually in the center and its infuriating...
I'm curious about the way you weld the flags (square 3" plate) Between the sleeve and post. In a working corral scenario where there is gonna be a lot of movement and impact would you do 2 flags instead of just one per hinge?
Nice buddy…that looks like fun and lots of thinkin and patients
looks good nice job
I've thought of using a trailer jack as a car jack but never a welding setup too. I like it.
Looks good! We are working on a corral project now - just wish our welds looked that good.
Austin, I want to build the same but you aren’t in my area. How much do you have (approx) in material for that job?
Cool videos, did you ever work in North Dakota , from Northwest part of ND ?? Not welder , I do like welding but own bulk fuel business 👍
That entry is a credit to you. Looks great now those very effective gates are hung. It can be hard to get a start especially in a rural area where they tend to go on word of mouth. Giving a bit either way and a bit of horse trading does help. A mate of mine shall we say dealt in commodities rather than cash for years as a way of living off grid. It was a way of life for him at the time. So many now chase the money but usually pay out the big money too. Each to their own.
That's great advice buddy 👍. Entryway sure came out looking great, c'mon 👌!!
First off nice work bro... I’m doing a small triangle swing out gate and I learn so much from your videos thank u and God bless
Great job Austin COME ON!
Good will goes a long way . good video nice job
Thankya
Austin that is an impressive job. I wish steel pipe like that was more accessible around where I live as I would experiment with it. As it is wood posts and steel wires are king around here but oh that steel is impressive.
Just wanted to know why not install gates opposite to give it more flare. Not that it looks bad but just a little flare. Love your work
I thought you might paint the gate, before you installed. Looking forward to the completion.
Really Really good looking job.!! I enjoyed viewed all what you create you name was heard hardly
Say the gate wasn’t level or looked off after that first weld when you tested it would you have cut the tacks and adjusted the gate ?
Absolutely.
Would you recommend stick welding or flux core welding to start off with?
Keep those little golden nuggets coming. Thank you for the great advice and the value you share with every video 👍
Outstanding!!! Great advice!
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Ill be starting to weld pipe next week for college and i was wondering if you have any beginner tips?
Austin
You keep building projects they will put you in the Hall of Fame!
You have come along way with this TH-cam
