Thats a real hot mig weld kids. Hard to find on youtube.
Great fabrication and end result.
Buen Trabajo, Excelente
Enjoyed the video, and the welds look great. I just weld straight stringers (as opposed to fancy 'e's etc), but your welds looks so much smoother than mine. I'm relatively new to this so are you using short arc here or spray transfer? Thanks.
Thanks for watching Nick.
Me too re welds.
That’s spray I believe.
Probably about your settings and getting them right/ what you’re comfortable with. Try them all. 👍
@@TheMetalFabGuy Thanks for that, much appreciated 👍
Tidy job!
great job..you did some job of that.why did you have the gates hung up like that at the end of the video? For a test fit was it?
Yes, Just that. The Gates are to be galvanized and then the whole unit will be concreted in as one. They’re hung predominantly to check line, but sizing also.
@@TheMetalFabGuy good idea. I would do the same thing myself to make sure. Once its galvanised there's no going back lol....
We’ve all been there unfortunately haven’t we. Thanks for watching Martin.
Bon Boulo😀😀👍👍
Are you using co2 or argon gas?
A mixture of both co2 and argon Luke. 20/80
Thanks for watching 👍
Tidy welds on those posts. I’m guessing 190amps? I’ve just finished a cantilever sliding gate totalling 5.9 metres. It’s having £650 worth of Iroko hardwood infill. Have you tried 1mm wire yet?
Very Nice. I’d like to see it. Send me over some images on Instagram if you’re on there. That’s a fair size cantilever. And a hardwood finish also.
190-200A you are correct.
Have Normally used 0.8 or 1.2 wire.
@@TheMetalFabGuy When I say finished, I mean from a manufacturing point of view. It’s needs to get powder coated and fitted first. So hopefully 2-3 weeks time. As for Instagram, I don’t have it but will look into it.
one question, how would you keep the gates from being lifted off ? if thats a security concern.
Good question.
There are several possible solutions to that issue. Also With consideration that when locked . Both gates would have to be lifted together.
1) There are sleeves that fit over the hinge pins and are screwed into position. These can be secured with thread lock.
2) the pins can be drilled through or drilled and tapped for a bolt that would again prevent lifting. Thread lock applied.
3) Depending upon the finish, the pins can also be welded once the hinge is in place to form a physical barrier .
