- Ever wonder when to use a pre-fab metal gate vs. building a custom gate? Let’s talk about that, welding uphill 7018, and for fun how long does it take to burn one 3/32 7018 welding rod? Oh and what keeps gate hinges centered between horizontal gate rails?

I’ve been welding for 25 years,and I can always find something to learn in your videos 👍 good work man.
Right, pretty damn smart dude. I hate meeting other welding brothers that think because they have been welding for 20 plus years they know everything. I've been welding for around 15 years and owned my own businesses for even longer and I learn shit from my kids lol. 🍻
Damn you even put grease fittings on the hinges, very thorough work my friend 👌
You can take the welder away from the pipeline but you can't take the pipe line away from the welder . Quality work as usual
Over the years I've learned that the best way to weld a gate on like this and get it level is to start with a post that's set perfectly straight. I like to level the post on two sides (90 degrees ) with a long level. Then draw a line using level as a guide down through where your hinges will be welded. I've had to weld up a lot of these where the pens are rough and set you up for failure from the start. It's much more difficult to get it right from the get go. Then it comes down to trial and error sometimes because the gate isn't level all through its swing. Then you might have to shorten one hinge or split the difference, etc. Sometimes I end up cutting hinge slits into the pipe so that you can "adjust" it to suit. Best done on a Saturday so you go to church tomorrow to make up for it if you know what I mean...
Good video bud. A little 7018 action. I like it
I like those gate jacks very handy great job explaining
Bro thank you so much for what you do I don't think any girl I've ever been with understood what my job was you give a new meaning to what it's like to be an industrial guy
Im also from Oklahoma. South Oklahoma (Pauls Valley)
I love your videos. I’ve recently separated from the military and have been working with a construction crew welding up hay barns. I come to your channel anytime I think of something I need to learn about welding haha.
Y'know at the ranch they bought a couple mobile pipe fence sections, Overall shoddy work and I'm constantly sticking those things back together, BUT the one exceptional part of them is they have double hinges, Buddy welded his gates to another floating upright, which is then hinged to the main, structural upright. Basically one hinge bottoms out, then the next folds over and the gates can fold flat on either side of the panel. Probably the only reason we haven't junked em. Food for thought!
love them gate jacks great idea
Appreciate your videos Austin! Since I’m new to welding even the simplest lessons are gold! Thanks a ton!
Thanks for sharing with us Austin. great job and instructions too. Keep up the great work. Fred.
Gawd I miss the business, retired in 2007. Great video Austin.
Cliff, I retired in 2013 and still love creating with metal. I'm helping my buddy work on his BlueBerry Farm here in MO and the 3" support pipe on one of the brush hogs had broken beside a previous stick weld that had been repaired a few times. Those previous welds looked pretty rough. I took out a portable generator and my Miller Maxstar 150 shoe box welder that I tig with. You can also stick weld with it, which I have never tried with this unit. I come from the Nuclear field so TIG is the ticket in containment. Anyway, it felt great being the artist with metal again. The job turned out perfect and my buddy was blown away by the end result. What's nice about this machine is it's small, compact and it runs on 110 or 220. I can literally hang it over my shoulder with the strap on it or hang it off the top of a ladder if I had to weld up high and my leads weren't long enough, it's that compact. The machine has pulse on it, scratch start, and High frequency. Once a welder, ALWAYS a welder. Really enjoy watching your vids, Austin. Your a good teacher and even this ole welding dog after 45 years can still learn New and better tricks. God Bless you Brother.
@@barrydawg7544 Hey Berry. I still do a few things too, just here in my garage. I have a Lincoln 225 amp A/C buzz box and oxygen and acetylene. Yesterday I built a towel rack out of horseshoes for a friend of mine, it sure did feel fill good to put the hot glue on something. Have a great day everybody.
Nicely done!
Nice job with the arc shot. It is very helpful.
I just use this…….always helped me whenever I was starting out.
C - Current.
L - Length of Arc.
A - Angle of electrode.
M - Manipulation of electrode.
S - Speed of travel.
WOW....awesome job.....
I love watching your channel
Yes sir, always better to swing 1 way, versus swinging both ways
Agreed. Very few times there is any advantage to swinging thru if we are talking about pasture gates. We keep them either open and tied back, or latched closed.
Thanks for the help
Pony was making sure you were working
Thanx Austin
Come on ......are you sure those are 3/32 and not 1/8 ?!?!?!?! lol As always nice work !
My Father has bought loads of gates and has some custom ones too, real nice. This is in Ireland 🇮🇪. Lots of rain! There is a gate on the property, tube rails. It must be there for 50 plus years. It's still in great shape out lasted many many cheaper gates. I must get you a pic.
Damn Austin them are some awesome welds buddy
I can surely tell y’all have welded alot of pipeline 👍
I have built pipe fence for close to 12 years. I always do a hot 6010 down and a hot 7018 to cap it. Up hill takes to long in my opinion. We have never had one break that I know of. I also gusset 1 side of each as well.
What is the best way do saddles for top rail to get all in line. Building pipe corral for first time.
Ross thanks for your videos I need order a hole cuter adapter for my torch but I don’t know if is large or small
Do you have a video for how to make a winch like yours for the truck
Thanks again you’re my hero
Here is a link to our website with info on the circle burner with part numbers for torch also.

And, no video on the gin pole but here is a link to our website where you get get prints to build a gin pole like mine.

@@arosswelding thanks man
What do you have on the angle going uphill bout 25 to 30 degree. The rod was making a point with the shielding part that sometimes falls into my puddle sometimes what do you do then?
Fucking love this guy!
The book says to keep 7018 in rod box. What's your opinion bout heating the rod before using, and then storage of 7018 after opening if not all of had been used?
Hey, Ross.
I'm a farmer in SD. Where should I look to find alot of used 2 3/8 oil well? How much is too much to pay? I'm looking to build some freestanding panels and possibly hang some gates on an arch using oil well.
How do I create lifters with a crank?
Could you please make some reference to settings before you weld?
Is the 1/8 7018 rod good for most things
I find myself usin 3/32 a lot. But I reckon if I was welding on more stuff that was a bit thicker I’d probably use a lot of 1/8
Think you’ll ever do the pipeline gig again?
What type of pipe are those hinges?
You got a video on your mobile gantry thing
Did you get that gate from the rail road in stillwater
No, we got these at wheeler in Muskogee
Can you do some tips and tricks with 6013 please
You've already asked that question twice.....
@@shortfuse43 it would not send so I deleted the other one sorry about that
Hey whats the device you used to hold up the gate ????
Those are home made gate jacks! Here is a link to our website where you can find prints to build your very own!

👍👍👍👍👍👍
OK, Austin...need a little help here. Amateur welder asking. I have practiced until I'm blue in the face with uphill 7018 (and 7014 as well) on coupons of 1/4" bar tacked up as a corner, or 1/4" angle iron. I have run my 3/32" Lincoln Excalibur 7018's at amperages ranging from as low as 80 to has high as 100, with 5 amp increments in between. My travel speeds on the first pass are almost identical to yours in the video. I get nothing but blown holes in the uphill passes. What am I doing wrong?
Keep a short arc length. Rod at a slight uphill angle. Keep the puddle moving.
Sounds like the puddle is falling away and you are burning through.
Try turning it down under 80 amps with the same travel speed or move faster with the same 80 amps plus.
Sometimes when practicing on coupons the coupons will get really hot because the heat only has so far to go. Therefore you may have to turn it down lower than what the “book” says
I routinely weld 7018 uphill at 90 amps. The trick to welding uphill is a short arc length, a slight upward rod angle as well as a weave pattern. Try weaving the rod from side to side as you move upward without stopping in the middle. Basically weld the sides and the middle will fill in by itself. This way you won’t have a lumpy weld. I hope this makes sense to you. As with all welding, practice practice practice
@@arosswelding I'll try lowering the amps more. I just don't want a cold stringer and no penetration. As for Trow's suggestion, I'm not wanting to weave. This problem is with a "root" stringer. I do keep as short a arc as possible "short" of jamming the rod in and killing it and slight upward angle.
I'll keep working on it. Thanks all for the suggestions.
@@shortfuse43 did you figure it out
The problem with home built gates they tend to be so heavy that they become hard to swing when sorting
Absolutely lol
Retired shipyard welder in canada ,nice job
There is some day you occupy a worker here I am greetings good videos
What? why aren't you using 8045-P2 Low Hydrogen for them gates?
Hello
On this video
The red saddle on your table
Can you do a video on explaining the slots and what they are used for.
I see the smaller ones but don’t really know how to use them properly. Thanks
that gate material looks pretty thin to me.
First to like the video
step an paws a 7018 ?
Stackin tacks. Sometimes you gotta do it. Will hold fine
LOL... I don't think the chain latch was upside down? I think you had the gate hanging upside down? 🙄
you had gate upside down that's why hinge looked upside down.
I thought you should drag if it has slag?!? It looks like you were pushing uphill...
You can see the slag rolling off the weld. Thanks to gravity.
@@Taskarnin So you are dragging, or not? Or are you saying uphill it doesn't matter w/7018? (still learnen the angle of the dangle... I get crappy welds or perfect welds and can't see what I do different between them on some metals.)
