Jimbo, one tip for the unguarded, chop of existing stuff. You can use a full-face lightweight plastic mask for that. I've done it and have blown up some discs myself. It's scary, but the face mask does the trick when I do this type of stuff. I just adjust the size way out to fit over my ear muffs, so I can switch between goggles and the mask. As always, great video and project.

I also use a full face mask sometimes, and consider that a good idea for some woodworking cuts as well. For deeper cuts you can often use your portable band saw instead of a cutoff disk. I think it's safer overall than using a big disk on a small grinder, with or without a guard.

also for all the grinding dust. It's no joke!

Jumbo, I thoroughly enjoy watching you work. I am a bit perplexed on how to start a business as well as pricing. Any pointers you can give. I live in southern California. Thank you again . Great stuff. 🎉

Every single Video Jimbo has to make that same comment about grinding down welds. I mean every single video Jimbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We get it, it looks nice. You keep doing your thing.

I'm with you on 'calculated risk' - a 6" wheel on a 4.5" grinder for difficult to access cuts. A little care and there is minimal risk. BUT - when you know it might grab your wheel and shred it, please wear a face shield. I don't wear a face shield much in the garage (no OSHA there), but I do for the sketchier cuts. Rail and awning look great as usual.

Two things here, Jim. 1. As long as you bevel your edges, your welds after grinding are essentially full thickness of the material & plenty strong. ZERO concern there, so the neigh sayers can be quiet. 2. Great technique there where you extended the vert. You say sloppy/crooked, but "Sloppy" would have been cutting it shy and having to fill-in with weld metal. In reality you cut it proud and ground back to a perfect fit-up. Nice job there! Great, creative problem-solving project as always. Thank you for all you do to teach & share with all of us!

Welding all around is the best. You often see nice gates, that rust over after 6 months. You can't keep rain out of a crappy welded gate... In my area, they use galvanized a lot and it's sad that they start rusting on the welds after a year... The spray can cold galv is just not cutting it..

Maybe a reciprocating saw with a metal blade rather than that 6" disc on your angle grinder? That's what I use in those situations. Love the end product though, bet the client was impressed

Hi Jimbo! What welding machine are you using there. Am used to the low cost arc welding machines but they are not smart especially for me an amateur who's just learning welding now DIY.
