- I know I build a lot of metal gates but this one is really simple and a great option for anyone wanting to do one themselves. This is a great place to start.

About Jimbo's Garage:
Jimbo's Garage is a channel to watch real metal, steel, welding and wood projects.
For anyone who cares. Check for square before you weld! Especially for people who don’t have a weld table like his. Tack the whole square together checking each measurement (H) and (W) then check for square then clamp it down good and finally weld complete. If you need help finding out the weld sequence look up the videos from Fireball tools.
11:53 The part where you said you leave it open-ended makes such much sense lol. I can hear the raddle. I have never weld before but it was on my list of skills to learn. Listening to you talk about your process is awesome. It's obvious you care about the little details and take pride in your work. Thanks for making these.
I'm a fabricator myself and really appreciate you videos, you have the dream shop and you are a true ironman👍👍👍
I admire how you keep it old school, and don't sweat the small stuff. kick ass gate man. 💪🏼
Just got back from Industrial Metal Supply in Irvine,CA with my gate metal. Watching your video one last time before getting busy building it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hey, I really appreciate that you took the time to make this. Trying to help my dad with his business so this will help greatly.
Nice work. Your work table and clamping system is top notch!
This answers all the questions I had about welding a gate. I've made some out of wood so this is something new. Especially regarding welding thin-walled tubing. Thanks for the informative demo!
love the table with the extra grinders stored below, nice gate, nice work.
Learning new things every time I watch your videos, thank you! On those formulas you mentioned, the way I learned from my father in law which he is 89 years old and still welds is; find the center, from there go about 4 inches, give or take. Couple of gates I built have come pretty good, no fancy formulas for me. Im about to build a gate for my generator shed and I'll try your system.
God...is he still able to weld at 89? How is his doing in terms of health.... cause welding is pretty dangerous?
Hey Jim, don't mess about with math, just get an equidistant layout divider. Lay it on, mark and weld. Job done
I heard you talking about spacing the pickets out. The "formula" I use when trying to find the spacing, is pushing all the pickets to one side and take that measurement. Count out how many pickets you have and divide your previous measurement by however many pickets plus one. For example... If you pushed your 8 pickets to one side and had 32 inches. Youd dive 32 inches by 9. One more than the amount of pickets you have. Hope that helps.👍🏻
Nice. An easy method of measuring spacing is to use an engineer’s scale tape measure. It’s in decimal ft, so just divide the overall width by the number of sections you want. Have done this for years. Works great. Lufkin makes an engineer’s tape measures that has both imperial and decimal feet on it. Seriously recommend you try it. It’s easy to divide on your smartphone and saves a lot of time.
Man that came out really nice. Great job!!!
I don't know how to weld and you made it look like even I could do this. I've always wanted to learn though. Great job!
It’s EASY. He’s MIG welding. I’ve been a fabricator for 25 years. Tig welding is a little tougher. Welders are cheap. Just buy one and watch CZcams videos. Or go to a local shop and ask if you can watch someone weld. It’s fun.
I always learn something from your videos. Thank you. Gate turned out good.
Love the welding table & clamp set up you have. Makes working much more nicer & precise. LOL I noticed all of your grinders conveniently set up. I too keep many grinders each with a different purpose instead of changing blades. Speeds up the project when you have a great set up. ThankQ for sharing, I'm getting ready to build a gate for our farm. I recently have been welding small repairs & projects, this will be my 1st gate build. I'm trying to learn as much as I can to save me from making costly errors. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge & experience.
I haven't been keeping up with the channel much lately, but glad to stop in today. I'll add 2 suggestions for spacing. This stuff really appeals to my nerdy side.
IMHO, the easiest way to perfectly space pickets is to stack all the pickets into the completed frame, use a tape and measure the empty space. Divide that measurement by the number of pickets PLUS ONE. Get out your digital caliper, and cut a pair of wood spacers to the exact dimension, and then you can use your usual workflow. If you label them, you can re-use them.
Instead of cutting blocks to size, you can make a pair of this pretty cool tool (and make a video about making the tool) -- a "spacer book" - cut 1/8" bar stock into 3~4" squares... enough pieces so they stack up to 4". Then cut one 1/16" thick square. Drill a hole in the corner and bolt them all together. Be sure to put the 1/16" piece on the end. Now you can space out to the nearest 1/16" by flipping the "pages" of the book.
If you want to be closer than 1/16", use masking tape shim on it.
On the one I made, all the "pages" are the same and I have to measure it every time I use it. IMHO, it would be smart to mark the stack so you can read the stack height easily, maybe shorter and longer "pages" like the tick marks on a tape measure.
Exactly!! 👍👍👍If you have 9 bars totaling 180mm you take that off the empty space then devide that by 10.always round the number up rather than down aswell
*One Nice Clean Job, Jimbo*
Love the table. From Ireland
Great and timely Jim. Have to make two of these for my house in Orange County, CA. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
its all in the little details and a craftsmans tallent that makes it look easy
Part on the top, make it so much better, floral motif as well, smart. Great job.
I like your work man I been think a lot getting into welding myself
Excellent job, glad i found this video. thanks for sharing.
I watching every episode - thank you for knowledge. Regards from Poland :)
I saw a tip where you could use a regular piece of waistband elastics, you can measure out whatever guideline widths for that area and then lay it out over the piece and stretch it out to the nearest picket. Roll it back up and throw it in the tool box for next time.
It's pretty simple to calculate equal spacing between pickets...if you have 9 pickets to fill inside the frame just add one for the calculation, so divide the space by 10 (not 9) and they will always be equally spaced in the frame. Inside frame divided by 10 = equal space between all 9 pickets. So if it were 12 pickets always divide by 13 etc...
Nice work!
I like to tack my middle bar in first then work my way out with a spacer. Each to their own though. Looks nice.
I've just started watching you. Your work is outstanding. That fab table is GREAT!
You can measure the gate's inside width and write down that number, then add up the widths of all the 9 bars and write down that number. Subtract the width of the combined bars from the width of the frame and divide that number by 10 (there are 10 spaces in total between all vertical members, including the frame plus bars). Now that you have your spacing you can make a spacing block of that dimension to go between each bar.
That welding table sure makes that job go faster.
I just got that saw! I can't wait to try it. The cast aluminum base is much more table than the lower model made from stamped steel. The cast alum base won't flex and the cuts will be square. This is a common complaint with the Evo saws.
I love your working table
I love it, nice work and the precision was spot on.
Great stuff Uncle Jimbo!
Really great work. Thanks for sharing your ideas. 👍
Nice job Jim. I've watch each and every one of your videos and apart from other great projects you've done, in my opinion you are really an expert gate builder and I've learnt a lot from just by watching you at work. Although you have really great equipment in your shop, it still requires a real "Craftsman" to ensure these projects turns out professionally and great. Well done !
You remind me of my dad. Hardcore old school worker with lots of cool tips and EXPERIENCE!! God bless and I hope you and your family stay safe during the pandemic.
Please recommend a paint/coating you would use for the gate.
VERY NICE JIMBO!!
Amazing craftsmanship 😁. Thank you for sharing your videos 🙏
Great video Jimbo... I'm still after your custom "bench dog's". I keep checking your store. I'd buy a dozen..
I like your videos keep going man good job
That table is glorious. I need one
Great job 👍
Nicely done Jimbo! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Sweet gate, nice job.
Quality. Thanks learnt loads as always
Great videos Jimbo!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
I love your videos! You're detailed but to the point. THANK YOU!
Can you put a video up on how to calculate the angles of some of your more complex jobs?. Thanks, Massive fan in the UK 🇬🇧
Good work 👍
Great video Thanks for sharing
Nice job as usual Jimbo!
Great video, thank you!
Easy to assemble,fun to use
I saw your video really nice your working style and system is fantastic and i was thinking in chilhood to work like you Sir but unfortunately I become chef now in dubai and I am from India 🇮🇳 🙏
And I will share your video to my brother and my father they will see it and and they are really like to this kind of work🤟
Great job! You have inspired me.
Nice job
Metal Super Market 💯💪🇺🇸👍
what is the thickness of steel?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Great videos. Can you cover your prep for paint? Do you remove mill scale? I saw on another video that you used Rustoleum- how long is it lasting?
Got some advice from a lifetime builder..
Benjamin Moore DTM or Shewin Williams DTM
Sand then apply chem prime
Sand again
Prime with Shewin Williams kem kromik
Then roll with small roller
Hey from Argentina, I hope to meet you soon!!!
Great video thank you! Nice table as well! Would love to have one of those some day!
New welder almost certified
Have you ever done any videos on Painting Raw Ornamental Iron? I'd love to see one, prep to finish.
Hi there jimbo just got myself my own cold cut slugger love the look of it can’t wait to start cutting with it love watching your videos you have inspired me to get back to cutting and welding cheers bud keep
Making videos
Thanks 🙏
Gracias por las exelentes clases Señor saludos de Mexico

Jimbo you're good!
Good Job! Only issue was 67 and 9/16. I would have caught seven kinds of hell on a job site if I conveyed one tic past the half mark to another hand. Consider you just caught one kind of hell from me on this one.🤠
Did you make that table that's awsome
Great work as always Jimbo, love to see you on your new project!!! Keep it going, they all different and enjoyable. Thank you kindly for sharing of your big knowledge with us.
You could weld up a jig based on the picket dimensions so all you have to do is lay in the pickets and well them . this way it keeps it level , and speeds up the process.
Hi jumbo if you have 9 bars to space out you get your inner measurements and divided by 10. If you have 5 bars always divide with the next number up like if its 6 then by 7 and so on will give you your centres .
Very nice
G'day Jimbo cool gate.
Since I started watching your videos I have wanted to make a gate, the problem is that I have no place to put a gate XDD
Damn. Nice shop. I would love to work there.
Excited to make my own gate. Im just waiting my welding machine arrive. Thank u Jim i have learned a lot with ur projects.
Where can someone get that fab table
I do loves me a fine barrel hinge ;) Very nice!
I’m a pipeline welder by trade, I’ve had lots of requests to build gates and other stuff. My biggest problem is knowing how much to charge. What do you suggest?
What i do is ring people up ask for a quote see how much they charge , for a certain size gate and then you can work around that ?
Could you please make video about dubble bed?
thankyou!
I’m in Orange County. Could I pay you to take classes on how to build gates? Looks like a good way to support my family.
For the spacing.
Measure total inside width, we will say 1200mm in this case.
Decide how many spindles/uprights you want to fill your space you measured in the first step, let’s say 8 in this case which means there will be 9 spaces, there is always one more space than there is actual spindles.
Measure the diameter of the material you will use for your spindles, let’s go with 25mm in this case, so you have 8 spindles at 25mm diameter, that total is 200mm.
So you take away total diameter of spindles from width of gate. 1200-200=1000mm
Then you divide your 1000m by the number of spaces remembering the spaces will always total one more than you spindles.
1000/9= 111.12mm
So spacing is 111mm
What type of gas and wire do you use?
Nice skill
Can the Lincoln 225 ac box welder do this
Did you use an argon gas in this video when welding?
Show us the installation process ..
door came out great.. wanna do something like this for my parents house.
Damn good video!
im obsessed with picket spacing lol. take the dimension you have, to keep it simple well say the dimension is 24 inches and you need to maintain 4 inches between pickets to comply with most Code, that said, multiple 4 inches times however many pickets you might think will be need to fill the space according to code. in this case you can measure from one side making a mark ar 4 inches, then 8 inches, then 12 inches, so on and so on. no matter how long the run. dont forget its never usually and even number, but the same method applies. so much easier than any other method ive seen thus far. once you've acquired your spacing, lay it out and tack a picket on both ends and one in center, if you start from one end and work your way to the other, the pickets at the end will not fit.
When people space bars like that, they tend to think of the number of bars to install. That is misleading. You should think of how many numbers of spaces between bars. Example using your gate. You want 9 bars and that means that the number of spaces is going to be 10 (number of bars plus one). You then divide the length by the number of spaces to get the correct spacing between bars.
S = Spacing between bars
L = Length
N = Number of bars
S = L/(N+1)
Parabéns, seu trabalho é excelente!
Jimbo
love to watch your videos
were do you get your decor pieces?
Được học nghề chỗ này thì quá tuyệt vời
Awesome job! Where on earth did you get that piece of decor?
