Something about watching a tradesman who is so passionate at going about his business is so captivating.

[kugelsicher]

Dude! Great looking job! Also, really appreciate y'all keeping your language clean. My daughter and I can enjoy watching together! Thanks and God bless!

[stevemurdock]

I gotta say I've been building fences for about 25 years and that boys is a good lookin job!

I'll tell ya this. Video may be a year old, but I was supervisor at a fab shop in white oak Texas and we hired so many rig welder and pipeliners that did not know too much. Most lasted two weeks before they dragged up. Most had an ego that had no evidence of skills. You sir are a fabricator, you are smart and your the most humble I have ever seen, you let your skills talk instead of your mouth. That is a good quality that most don't have. Continue with the good work that you do..

The fastest way is actually to cope one side of the cross members and make holes on the other side of the uprights. Cut cross members slightly long and you can even cope them with the saw. Can do it on time off and keep a stack of cross members ready if needed.

Diablo baldes are awesome. I recently switched to them and I was impressed. We cut over 120 stainless rods 1.250” thick and blade still cuts great.

Heavy starch and pressed work shirt....This man means business!!

[cokaneish]

Good to see a fellow pipeliner hustling and making it in these times .. keep doing ya thing

[IQLOSERS]

I own a fabrication shop (40yrs now) and the Diablo blades do real well... When we first used one we were skeptical, but they are working real well and for an affordable price... We are also using the Diablo sanding disc's and they are rocking as well... Blown away and loving it.. We will keep using that brand for now...

[theaspiration]

The entusiasm and happines on the job is refreshing. Fabrication and welding jobs are not always fun and not always great but when things go well, it is a good time. It's worth it to enjoy the good times and take them as they come.

Quick tip/ suggestion for you, weld you a socket the size of your knuckle on your torches on the inside of your box on ur truck. So u don’t have to use a crescent to take them on and off. Use a file in between the quick connects to tighten and loosen

[SLocks]

I cut with a cold saw everyday. I started using a wax cut stick type lubricant. I do believe it helps prolong blade life.

[Chrislydon]

Diablo is basically the best 👌 I've never been let down by them. Commercial electrician, dry chop saw, grinding wheels, sawzal blades, skill saw blades. Diablo all the way

[radghorabi]

Iam a crane operator, I work around petroleum fields in Canada I worked alongside lots of trades. What determines good work for me is something this guy has and that his setup and gear and thats his choice of clothes I noticed his wearing white, I never seen a welder wearing white before. Good on you man keep up the good work

[SabianAtkinson]

I work on a ranch and we have used this method for years. We like this method for the fact that no condensation gets trapped in the horizontal pipes and rusts them out.

[ShredPile]

When you said you weren't expecting much out of that diablo blade I just kind of chuckled and thought 'just you wait' :)I use them in everything that cuts wood or metal.   The Skil SPT78MMC22 with the 8-1/4 metal blade would work thru one layer of that pile in 15 minutes without ever lifting a stick.Thanks for  doing this video Austin,   it's a great looking fence and your partner has my utmost respect for cutting all those holes- what a job!

[rolsonray]

I had a pipe fence, cattle guard, gate, and h brace gig back in 2015.. kept me busy for 7months! GodBless, that was after the crash of 2015.
The entire gig was old 3"/6" liner pipe.
Terrible to fab with all that melted liner ruining hope for clean torch tip cuts.
Arc blowin allover the place even after heating up and wrapping 4-5 times around with bare copper clipped to my ground.
You, my friend, are lucky to have new pipe for the job
Fence is legit tho, solid, plumb, and level.
Diablo has always been a very surprisingly decent brand, just about anything they make with the right touch will usually outlast your expectations.
Y'all stay good out there...

I’ve never seen it done with cutting holes in the pipe like that. Usually it’s coped or pressed on the end. I like the way you guys did it though and the fence looks great.

[susanwood]

Love that idea!!! Would love to do the weld-outs. Really nice job, Austin. Great to see good work from a young person. Semi-retired now, and I've been welding for 50+ years, including code pipe. Our trade is in good hands!!!

[robertschemonia]

Austin, I gotta say. You are in a league of your own. The place I work at, I do a lot of fabrication, and even more repairs in the field on heavy equipment. I watched a video of yours a while back on pancake hoods, and how to fit them and you sold me. My wife bought me a Hobart inventor series for Christmas, and I love it. But, my new Wendy's pancake is absolutely amazing. Backlighting? Whats that? Smoke in the eyes? Not anymore. I even find myself reachimg for it more and more every day over my old sugar scoop and inventor. And, I will say this; a quality lens is an absolute necessity. I got the adjustable shade Lincoln Electric 2x4C, and it is amazing. Super clear. Everyone at work looks at me like I have a thumb growimg out of my nose when I am using it, so I tell them that until they try one for themselves, they wouldn't understand. Great job on the fence by the way!
One of these days I'll get me a Lincoln welding machine like yours, or rebuild the engine in the SA-200 I have that was a gift from my wifes family, but until then my $300 Hobart G258 with the Willys Jeep flat head 4 cylinder will have to do. Its a 1400 pound monster, but it runs good amd everything works on it. Keep up the good work man! Stay safe and keep the family fed. Cheers from Southern Illinois!

I’ve never been a fan of the diablo blades for chop saws but I love their sawzall blades. To me they seem to be the best bang for your buck blades.
