It takes a real businessman to know when and how to delegate, even if your pride as a welder might make you want to burn every joint on your own. Doing all that cutting and fitting to ensure that everything’s correct and up to standard, and then letting someone else do the easy work, is a testament to your humility and knowledge!

I have no idea how I got here but this vid was strangely relaxing and informative. This gent is the Bob Ross of pipe fitting 😊

I start a new job in a week, they require one of those angle finders and a bevel gauge . My idea of the angle finder was way way off and I didn' t know what a bevel gauge was, I have never had to use them. I definitely learned something over coffee today, thank' A R. 👌

Nice work! It's in times like these that you sometimes miss having a good fitter with you that can develop templates fast.
But it's also by doing that you get better and increase speed and productivity so I give you a great thumbs up for taking your time to do your templates and work to a good standard of quality.

Great looking gate and lots of good info too. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe around there. Fred.

[johnlakebrink]

When building gates or working on say 3, 4, or 5 rail fence; I ask all guys on my crew to use this terminology and mark the pipe accordingly with soap stone, TT-is top top aka high side of pipe top side, TB is top bottom, aka top side of pipe on lower side if running down hill, BT-is bottom top aka bottom side of pipe in correlation to the tt side, last but not least BB or bottom bottom; follows suit with aforementioned… it helps guys to start visualizing their cuts and copes and to quickly realize that if their line posts or gate ends r square or titsmcghee level, then the opposing cuts will be exactly the same…most importantly it helps stop guys from wasting pipe by not paying attention and putting their short side cuts on same side of pipe
I really like the custom templates; especially for gates… great stuff brother keep it coming.

[mikesmith]

Recently found your channel. I was going to ask why you stick weld most all your projects instead of MIG. Also, those cutting torch skills are second to none!! Thanks for the videos, good sir!

[Grunttamer]

Austin, why don’t you keep these cut templates and then transfer them to metal and market them with your plans for the gates

[stanwooddave]

Austin, not trying to be a smart-arse, but the CAD program I'm using, (Turbo-Cad 2020) shows that if your vertical upright for the gate, is 5' Ft. next to the 16' Ft. - 6 1/4" in. 8" in. Dia. pipe, Gate Entrance upright. your overall gate width is 11' Ft.- 9.759" in. Allowing for one inch weld-on hinges. Front part (the vertical is 3.5" in. dia., X 3' Ft. - 8" in. tall / height) I'm getting /showing a 70.099° angle. That's measuring three inches down on the 5' Ft. vertical, and at the front / leading edge of the 3' Ft. - 8" in. vertical pipe measuring up from the bottom the gate front upright 5.637" in. approx.

Great job buddy! Have a great weekend! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[gaildimick]

Very nice, thanks for the info. Makes me want to get out and work, if the weather will cooperate. God Bless and Keep the Faith.

[briandowson]

Austin. Can you elaborate on those hinges in an upcoming video please? I’m quite interested in that design but I’m not quite understanding how’s it’s all supposed to come together.

[johnnyr]

Interesting to hear north Dakota mentioned

[royestrada]

Could you make a video explaining difference of all the engine driven welders and explaining the gears and setting please. Thank you Austin

[MastaYoda]

Hey Austin thanks for the amazing videos

[paulhunter]

Great video!! Question? Not being critical here but I here you say learning curve or maybe learning more when you end having to take the long way around on a project. Do you figure out the best or fastest way and then your charging the customer or is the customer being charged while your figuring it out? Just wanting your opinion/advice so I can be fair with my customers, thanks

[jayjames]

I try to watch your videos when I can. I am a refrigeration technician apprentice... 2nd year.... my question is, are you R certified? I am a hobby and non certified welder. I was wondering the process of getting R certified and the prospects just that field... in your opinion. Thanks! I am 50 years old and decided to change change fields... from 20 plus years of manufacturing of food and pharmaceuticals to maintenance.

[bigwhisky]

Nice job brother I know how those angles can be time consuming but you have that shit dial down, I just changed the timing belt in my classic I 250, It was so loose it was about ready to jump time, I was just wondering when was the last time you changed yours, just curious get back to me if you can on that! Good job bro

[mikewilber]

How about a video on that welding bed you’re building?

[stevekitchens]

Austin - 1/3 of the pipe diameter will get you real close on the ear length of a cope like that.
