MAKING CUSTOM GATE LATCHES & HANGING A CUSTOM SIGN ON THE NEW MASSIVE METAL PIPE FENCE ENTRANCE

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

Austin is the Michael Angelo of welding like dude you nailed this project

[@normnielsen]

So true. I want a cool entry like this now. Step 1. Buy ranch. Step 2: Hire Austin to build entry.

[@johnnyr4767]

Hate to be that guy, but I think you added a space where there shouldn't have, you split his first name in two

[@donaldross1077]

I enjoy watching your videos. As far as I know we are not related? My father started out welding in the Bremerton Washington ship yards (1964) Delmer C. Ross. After moving back to his home state he ran a "Ross General Repair" shop for 50+ years. Passing away in 2017 with 9 welders, always got to have one more. If it was broken he would weld it or make a new one! Most of the time my father required customers to "bring it to me". He would travel but very little. At 94 years old he repaired a lot of stuff. I am not a welder, I am a retired Auto Mechanic, I really enjoy watching your videos. Austin Ross you are doing a Great Job, Don Ross

I am a builder and I got a piece of treated lumber in my eye and it started hurting so bad I went home ended up falling asleep and when I woke up my eye was swollen as big as a baseball 🤦‍♂️. Had to go to the eye dr. And he Had it out in 30 seconds and it was instant relief...

[@milotorres6894]

Dude your lucky ,had a piece of carbon, doctor said if had waited another day would've lost eye ,thanks Dr. Westfield rip .

[@johnlshilling1446]

"Mmm-hmm.., I'm thoroughly pleased.." You should be. I'm 65, recently retired from pipefitting. (since 1978) 1st 15 years as an instrument fitter, so I was taught to make everything pleasing to the eye. And boy-oh-boy, your work is definitely that! Of course, being a fitter, I've got a pet peeve when it comes to weldors... Many believe that they are fitters because they've stood, watched, and worked next to fitters. That type wants to both fit and weld, while his fitter is demoted to a weldor's helper! LOL! BUT! --- You are one that really is both. Yep.., I'd happily have been your weldor's helper any time. Some have told me that I'm the best fitter they've ever seen. I know different. I've worked with some top tier weldors and fitters. I'm not even in the top 20%. I suppose those compliments came from people that haven't been around much...? Great work! (of art) I'll grant you bonus points for rounded edges and corners, (no sharp edges for livestock and people to get cut on) but especially for understanding and working with the metal contraction (draw) while working alone. Even when working with help, it's extremely hard to achieve perfect alignment. From my little screen, everything appears square, level, and Plumb-PLUMB --- not Plumb-some! LOL. You're a true Craftsman. An Old-Timey Craftsman... From a time when that title meant something. I think it's unfortunate that the general public doesn't have a clue about the level of art that can be worked into what we do. To reach your level, a man must be an artist. "Professional" doesn't even come close. "Professional" only means that you get paid for your work. It has no relationship to the quality of workmanship. (the last half of this comment is for the general public, the ones without any reference and aren't able to appreciate, or even see the beauty) Long life and God's blessings!

[@arosswelding]

Your message is greatly appreciated. I am very very humbled by it. Thank you. I also want to thank you and your generation for all the blood sweat and tears (for a lack of better words) that y’all have put in over the years so the generations behind you don’t have to hurt as bad (as long as we listen to our elder’s wise words) and learn as hard of lessons and also learn them in such a sacrificial way (loss of life, ect) to accomplish what we do. I don’t take my elder’s wisdom lightly. There is no better advise than life experience. Thank you Austin

[@ericfarran8554]

There is one lucky customer out there.. dam that looks nice

[@cyndikarp3368]

Gates are looking very good & functional.

[@shadowhunter9713]

Looks good. You may not have shown it on camera but welding a retention tab or bead on the solid catch bars would be a good idea. To keep someone from removing them.

[@srjr2531]

Show them welds man that weld should be a 1 part of your showcase every video . It can be inspirational to see other people’s beads

[@jimlundstrom2986]

Great work Austin. Your reference to be "pleasing to the eye" is this project.

[@arosswelding]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@stevensaxon8888]

@@arosswelding loves your videos. I'm a new subscriber. Do you have a video on how to notch pipe ( making the half circle cuts so the 2 pipes match up)?

[@glenngosline3303]

I have seen on fences the name of the company that installed the fence. You should have a little advertisment plate on this project. Again just a great looking job. Pipeline pride in your workmanship.

[@yvesf5355]

Hey Austin ,Started Mig welding about 8 months ago ,then a few months ago seen one of your Videos ,Many of your Videos later ,got a stick welding machine ,I love it as much if not More then Mig , anything I weld now is with stick ,Thank you for all the videos ,I just love to weld .

[@jeremiahgnoza6014]

Been following you and watching all your videos since day 1 man. It’s awesome to see your hustle and drive every week. Making something out of nothing and figuring it out as you go. That’s America for ya. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.

[@dclfarms6204]

I’ve always just hung the down latch on crossbars when not in use. That little holder you added is quite slick. I hope you don’t mind, but I’m stealing your idea. That’s a very sharp entrance you have built. Strong work.

[@arosswelding]

Not at all! Take it and run baby. That’s why I do what I do. Share. Help. Learn. 👌😎

[@dclfarms6204]

Thanks a bunch and keep up the great videos. I’ve been welding( mostly farm/ranch related) for over 20 years and have learned quite a bit from your videos. My son and I really enjoy them.

[@patrickhorvath2684]

I've always driven pipe into the ground , flush, to receive the drop latches . When open , the ground will end up being an arched plowed furrow, as owner will put it in different places and soil will loosen allowing gate movement.

[@jrw_8316]

Keep killin it big dawg! Craftsmanship is top notch!

[@AlpacaRenee]

What a beautiful project. You are truly gifted!

[@billmerrick2467]

Your a Master welder and fabricator. Good job young man

[@rchavez5056]

Another perfect job completed. I would hire Austin with no doubt that the job will be perfect. Great job Austin.

[@jerrywilder9403]

Looking great good looking gates

[@travisboots9263]

I learn so much watching your videos. I’m a welder now but I used to build fence for a living. A good trick for those drop rods is to drive a small piece of pipe in the ground where they will be going in at ( far enough to where it won’t catch a tire or foot) gives a nice solid hold for them

[@VonFenal]

Sucker rod is made of 4140, its a steel we blacksmiths use for hammers and punch tools. It does like to split.

[@mhansome1]

MOLECULES.... Outstanding work. Enjoy your videos (I'm not a welder) and enjoy your humor and explanations. Keep on young man.

Austin, this is the best looking entrance gate I've seen. Awesome job!

[@JimmyLee0757]

Awesome project. My eyes started running water, while you talked about protecting our eyes. My eyes eyes seem to be magnetic when it comes to stuff getting in them. I like the hanger on the gate to hold the rod, which keeps you from having to chase it when opening the gate.

[@johnwarkentinnikiskialaska8364]

Very outstanding job 👍

[@7hdfarm662]

Hats off Austin to another awesome project. Looking forward to the next one.

[@ToddKing]

If you wanted that super clean look and still have the gates stay closed maybe a cammed hinge would fit the bill. Don't know how hard something that would last would be to build though.

looking great, what about some solar powered lights or LEDs behind those symbols? Or even the possibility of some other solar powered lights to light up the whole area?

[@jamesward5721]

Back when I made similar "signs" I'd take some 1" flat 1/4" stock & go around all the edges with it to give a true 3-D - it goes fast & the visual effect is really good - I did some very prominent ones, seen by loads of people daily. I also quietly pity whoever has to paint all that lot ^^. That sounds like a right PITB to me. :-) But, it is certainly an impressive entrance - very robust.

[@jamesward5721]

You can create a much cleaner "Keep it shut & straight" latch by making an arm that locks the 2 gates together minus the ground pin btw - make it latch down on 2 horizontal members so they are tied together - bang, gates stay nicely shut & look super clean. Plus it opens/shuts mega fast when it's cold/rainy and you don't fancy dicking about with ground pins - which nobody does, tbh.. I'm honestly surprised, considering the sheer expense this client has gone to, that they didn't opt for powered open/close - then again, they went for levelled stone as the driveway - and that never lasts - maybe they're allergic to bound macadam.. no accounting for Folks "thoughts" on stuff.

[@marcgurevitch4423]

Watched the whole build. Both very impressed and learned a lot. Thank you. But quick question: Why’d you opt not to set a section of catch tubing in the ground for both open and closed positions to receive the spikes? Would that not be cleaner than poking the gravel and dirt? (Okay. Two questions.)

could always use a magnet to get the metal out of your eye. i've had to do it before. anyway great video series and great job
