CUSTOM METAL CARPORT BUILD // WORKING WITH CUSTOMERS

[@tommyt2854]

Pretty slick bud, would love to see a highlight video on your gin pole, please.

[@daddysixblow7686]

I second this.

[@richLS3]

I’m curious as well.

[@toothrowedTV]

Yes 🙌

[@shlarticus32]

The people would like to know more about that gin Pole. Can we get a run down video on your take of it?

[@southwestmichiganutv5393]

Yes would like to know the specs on that unit

[@BBQMike7108]

Great videos Austin! I am not a welder, but I do own 2 of them and a plasma cutter and enjoy messing around with them in my garage, you give a lot of great information. I look forward to the new videos every Friday!!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Austin. Nice job with the building project. Going to be watching that video a few times. I’m getting the urge. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@davidleblanc9676]

Looking good glad to see you staying busy

[@tedbastwock3810]

Great video. I'm wanting to build a structure very similar to this, and its shocking how little there is like this on YT. Always admire your professionalism, very glad the YT algo directed me to your channel.

[@ronfussell8244]

I like your advise to guy's wanting to pipeline,I worked for one of the largest corporations in the world,I was asked if I wanted to tig in pump stations,stainless and chrome,after a few months of that,I was asked to help on a 42" tie in,if I would have been on my own it would of never happened.OH!! I forgot one thing,it doesn't doesn't matter how good you are or what you know,it's being good enough and who you know!

[@dasmith3054]

You're living and learning, such as shoot your elevations before cutting your columns, then you can cut and weld the caps on the ground, same with the clips on the joists. But, you're learning, that's the main thing, keep up the good work.

[@arosswelding]

Ya... the customer did not get the plates in level... or else o would have gone that route. That’s the only bad thing about the customer doing some of the work... 🤷‍♂️ oh well.

[@mrMacGoover]

I'm just a hobby welder but I find your so friendly in your videos and they are filled with useful information... that I subbed to your channel. 😀

[@scarface-39]

Keep on knocking them jobs out👍🇺🇸

[@f1hndredtom1]

Enjoy your videos. I am a retired pipe fitter/ welder out of local 725 in Miami.

[@jpegg1208]

Weld your clips for purlin on the ground then lift up ;) Looks good man

[@arosswelding]

Ya... lol as we started welding them on, I told Parker, next time we’ll put these on before we hang the rafters. I love doin and learnin!

[@danclark7956]

Hey, Railroad guy here. It's been awhile since I've commented. I really enjoy watching all the different projects. Beats just doing pipeline. I'm glad you're doing well. If you ever need a full time helper, I can get you in touch with my son. We're only an hr North of ya up in Winfield, KS. He has 3 or 4 yrs experience. Mainly Tig but can do all.

[@arosswelding]

Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.

[@ian666russell]

Thanks for another great video! Honestly I wait all week to see what you are up to!! Could you show us how you made that sweet lifting contraption off the hitch? Very smart idea!

[@rchavez5056]

My only complaint is that these videos are way too short. 😀 I could watch this guy work all day long.

[@slamdcl]

Great metal yard that is where we got all metal for my sons eagle project

[@ronfussell8244]

Finally seen this one A Ross,,I like to give a little past experience,on your horizontal girt,cost wise I think 6" C perlin primered would work great flush side out naturally.The only other thing I noticed was the trusses only have vertical support,if you have snow those wide spans might need the angled brace welded in,really increases snow load.I have made many hay shelters the same way,just 12' inside,should be popular where your at,Good job.

[@ZmaxLife]

My question is about truck electronics and batteries during time of your lifting and welding . I do understand you have natural ground. Thanks .

[@koreywhitt9484]

Use a clear hose with windshield washing fluid. It’s my go to for a level.

[@nolancampbell2085]

Love all you're videos keep it up!for me i started when I was 14 now 30 saved up enough money to by a cheap Lincoln electric buzz box and had my dad bring home scrap steel from job sites he was a plumber on site so brought me all crap steel ,now im a welder,ironworker on site and in the shop fabricating the whole job we'd install,,but what do love the most just pipeline work kinda same weld obviously just pipe but different fit or thickness and position so never easy or ,,doing jobs on youre own just the simple things getting steel for a job you bid,running a lazer and doing all the laying out to make job complete which do you like more?

[@walterandykathleen]

Thanks for the video! I’m curious why you weld the purlin tabs after the trusses are lifted? Seems like it would be much faster while the trusses are still on the trailer

[@cranerigging3604]

Nice work on the car port build and I like the Gin Pole setup on the truck Austin !

[@shermrock345]

The blueprint book is amazing. I was really surprised when i got mine of what all it had in it. How to figure this how to figure that, and how to make parts that you might need too. I love it.

[@thomasshowman5125]

Hello, love your shows and your work. I am a welder and have had several welding jobs. Never went to welding school. Iam now turning 48 next month and want to go to tulsa welding school. Then to a pipeline to make dollars.. What do you think about tulsa welding school? Thanks Brady

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

Also Ross, run yourself some 1/0-ga wire from the Battery to the back of your Truck and front as well and connect those to Battery Quick connectors this was you always have 12V at both end's of your Truck and you just plug into it and you can have anything powering it. Winch, Flood LED lights and more like your hitch crane. And you can use it as a Starter cable hookup and charger port as well. And if you put a 200Amp Fuse right by the battery you also safe your butt when something is overloading the wire too so no cable burn. Cost you maybe $150 and 3h of your labor time to install it at the front and rear of your Truck but very well worth it. I installed on our Truck a heavy duty rectange 1/4" thick tube 3" by 4" and welded 3 Hitch receivers to it, left, right and center so I can put D-Ring receivers, My winches, Floot Bar's, Roof Rafter Rack or anything else I may need quickly into the receivers to simplify my job.

[@abdushakoorjamalmokalane1719]

Great inspiration Austin

[@rodolfobanda3306]

Hey Mr. Ross.. first thing.. I enjoy your videos... my name is Rudy and hope this could help you out.. I build carports / 40×140 ft haybarns / garage's / lean-to's an lots more ... I always weld my clips on the ground that way everything is ready.. mark the spaces for your purlins.. and I don't brace my section because my pulins become my braces.. then the r-panels tie everything together.. hope that helps...

[@arosswelding]

Yes yes. Very helpful. As we were welding the clips on I told Parker, next time we’ll do this on the ground before we hang the rafters... I love learnin. Thank you for sharing! What do you mean by pulins...?

[@hueinismo1]

Hi there Mr Ross. I am new to welding. Is it possible to do a video on stick welders running on 230vac and recommended amp rating for welding farm equipment like soil tillers or thick metals and for learning pipe welding. It be great for all of us newbies looking into learning/ practice. I am lost on amp rating for 230vac home use welder.

[@rodolfobanda3306]

@@arosswelding lol..sorry.. meant purlins

[@jeeptrucklover72]

That’s a nice trailer you’ve got. I think I would of built a little wall about 12” high in the front of it so that your steel won’t take off and nail you should you have to stop suddenly.

[@lefthandedfenceguy4924]

Good work, Hand! Whatever it takes to get the job done.

[@CG-zz4nd]

I am new to welding and learning as I go. I want to build my own car port. What is the required spacing for the rafters or the C-purlin when mounting them to the trusses?

[@arosswelding]

It depends on the size of perlin and building. But average is between 3-4 feet

[@mdmwelding3189]

Hell yeah brother great job

Good quality work, looks sturdy!

[@Jay-pu6cu]

A good way of avoiding to run those wires to your battery. Why not install some quick connects near the rear and hook it on a relay and switch. You can also have it wired to where they won't provide power without the engine running.

[@mattharper588]

That’s pretty much what my buddy did for his gin pole we use for dressing wild pigs in Texas,we ran the wires from the battery underneath the truck to the rear and up into a stake pocket and connected the wires to the male and female connections for a electric trolling motor the female one is in the pocket and the male one is on the wires on the pole and just used a ATV winch with a remote control,works great

[@jamessmith5905]

Looks good! What thickness of material are you using

[@thepitpatrol]

Guy I love your videos.

[@ridinrocks]

What material did you use too make your gin pole setup is that 2.5in sch40 pipe

[@ismaeltorres8848]

Hey I’ve started my own welding business 3 months ago

[@arnoldromppai5395]

that 4" tube, what wall thickness it it? when you loaded the one peace when it hit the deck it sounded really thin.. like less then 1/8". i been a clas A welder over 40 years, i built my shop, all out of re-claimed i-beams, from demo jobs, way over kill but made it posible to mount swing crane L shap on every post, also made from re-claimed i-beams.. in regards to your gin pole, i would put a 8 inch peace of sucker rod half way up standing up. welded to the pipe, and put a full length off sucker rod, weld one end to the top of the pipe at the hing, and set it on top of the 8 inch sucker rod and weld it solid, bend it down so the other end lands at the bend at the very top and weld it down solid, sure pipe is the strongest materiel for its size then any thing else, but with out that trus of the sucker rod, the pipe will suddenly bend and fast, on you, i can see it has already got a nice little bend to it, adding that sucker rod as a trus really adds to the strength, it happened to me, all it took was a bounce

[@jhobbstx11]

That’s boy said a class A welder. 🤣

[@juanalvaradouser4877]

@10:46 damn how many reverses did it take for little truck to be put away in the garage lol

[@psidvicious]

Just a point of clarification - We didn’t actually see the instrument so it might have been a ‘transit’ but I think more likely, it was a ‘builders level’. In any case, you were using it as a level, not a transit bcz you were just shooting level, not turning or measuring angles. You might look into a laser level in the future, bcz you can perform any leveling operation with just one person, rather than an ‘instrument man’ and a ‘rod man’.

[@MegaAlondra69]

Will a 120V Welding Machine work for doing a carport?

[@paintballfreddy]

I would love if you show how to weld square tube with stick , we use 14 gauge square tube here for that kind of structures and im always worried to open up a hole when using stick thats the main reason i use flux core its easier

[@frenzy3304]

How do you like the SAE-300? I work for a welder repair company, and customers always ask what we recommend.

[@victorharnishfeger6887]

[@Diego-xh6xz]

Good job like always my brother , thanks for all your advice

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

I made my own gin Pole using a harbor freight 12 volt winch and a 20-foot piece of oil well drill stem. If the KZbin-watching crew here wants to know more, tell Austin and I'll send him the information. Many of the buildings I build have 12 to 15 ft tall side walls and you need an extremely long and robust hoist to get trusses up that high.

[@juanmanzano9010]

You don’t have pictures by any chance !? Would like to see your set up

[@wadebrowne5076]

hey bud i would like to have the info on your gin pole setup

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

@wadebrowne5076 I gave it to a friend, so I don't have any way to send you a picture, but all I did was, I fashioned a hinge out of steel, such that it fit into the 2" receiver on my truck. It was 12 feet long with a Harbor Freight 12-volt winch fastened about midway and a caged pulley at the outboard edge. I also put a hand-cranked boat winch mounted to my truck rack (welded 1 1/2" 11-gauge square steel tubing) and attached the hook end to an eye, which had been welded to the mast, just below the 12-volt winch. This carries most of the leveraged load, allowing the little electric winch to have to lift only the weight of a roof truss (400-800 pounds). That's it. Worked like a champ. I'm 74 and have transitioned from building steel buildings to staying around my little farm growing cows and building windmills and steam engines. Hope this helps.

Steel is almost never cheaper but ALWAYS stronger, less hot, less deterioration(if good materials used) and overall a better value upgrade on the property
