19 Metal Fabrication Tips and Tools For Beginners

[@nairobie755]

If it's for work rather then hobby I'd highly recommend 4 grinders, two smaller and two big boys. It really saves on time not having to switch between grinding and cutoff wheels all the time.

[@fishhead6349]

Get you nice pair of knee pads! Makes a world of difference after working on the ground or floor for extended periods.

[@brianbirc]

FishHead I have seen guys wearing those doing floors and things. I get to work early before them sometimes and gave those pads a better name. I wrote Hollywood Sandals on the front. Nice yes ?

[@glutenfreegam3r177]

I was thinking the same thing! Years of flooring wrecked my knees.

[@brianbirc]

@@glutenfreegam3r177 Yes get some Hollywood Sandals. The guys in Hollywood know protecting their knees when on them a lot is important. They just call them sandals.

[@codymoncrief8478]

I really like the “skateboard” knee pads. The hard plastic cap is great for slamming into things and slides easily on concrete as well.

[@VictorManuel-pf7se]

I thought they were used to get a raise at work. Go figure.....

[@FrisellFan01]

About a year ago....I was drawn into videos on metal fabrication after all the years of cars being my first love.....since I was 7 years old....all the cars shows I have been to over the years.....finally I was asking how did they do that ? Well after my first metal fabrication video on you tube I am addicted......now I can't get enough of metal fab videos.....and today I found your site. Your tips make a great addition.....and thanks for a fine channel.

Hi Nate - If you use your floor for marking out, try installing either "Drop-In Anchors" or "Lag Shields" (female bolt usually chemically set into concrete). They can turn your whole floor into a massive Fixture Plate by bolting jigs, clamps, frames, straps etc. Use them as a Datum (known reference point) for measuring and setting out. Keep countersunk or low profile bolts in them when not in use. (edit this bit - Also, a mobile vice stand can be secured for use, then put away when finished)

[@gasser55t]

That is an amazingly good idea!!!!!! Thank you.

[@fishhuntadventure]

A lag shield is neither a bolt nor chemically set into concrete. It’s a zinc alloy or lead alloy that anchors by expansion when a lag is installed. Your fixture locating ideas are great though.

[@AJR2208]

@@fishhuntadventure Hi fushhuntadventure - thanks for your reply. You are correct about lagshields expanding. My chemset reference was for the drop in anchors and I neglected to say expanding lagshield. I'm sure you know there are a lot of varieties for concrete anchors and bolting methods - I did not want to write an essay about it though.

I buy a tape measure nearly every time I go to the store. I go from neck deep in them to none almost immediately. They disappear faster than 10mm.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Lol I know your pain

[@michaelwebb8788]

I'm the same. I am just starting get into fabricating but I learned from years as a carpenter to leave a tape measure clipped to the stand of my saw. I literally trained myself to measure something at the saw and immediately clip the tape measure back on the saw frame. That was a result of getting distracted in my shop, setting the tape measure down in some random area and then spending the frustrating 15+ minutes retracing my steps to find it. Not an efficient way to work at all.

[@Hondeer]

Dimple Dies are a *must* when putting holes in any stressed member. I've seen so many people 'speed hole' parts to have them crack/shear later on through creating stress risers. Dimple Dies help the holes act as 'stress confusers' and help alleviate concentrations. Otherwise, don't speed hole anything that's stressed. Its not worth the risk. Great list!

[@gittyupalice96]

I agree on the Air chisel / air hammer. It can be used for pretty much anything... cutting out old metal (I've used it up to 3/16 thick steel) or if you have a old balljoint/tierod end or anything that is press fit, you can use to the air chisel to break it loose or just push it all the way apart. Not to mention I replaced a steering intermediate shaft on an old Dodge, and they are held in with pins, that you can't drive out with a hammer because there isn't enough room to swing.... AIR CHISEL to the rescue.. Its my new favorite tool lol.

[@scottsherman8356]

great video. I laughed when you mentioned the tape measures. I do the same thing. I used to fabricate body panels. Loved it. Miss it at times. Last winter I took my 85 4 runner into my shop. And a buddy and I rebuilt/ beefed up the axles. Put a 4" lofty on it. I bought budget yet beefy parts. Some things needed to be "adapted". While others needed to be fabricated. Was a LOT of fun. It performed pretty good at EJS. Many tips, I already knew. Some refreshed my memory. Others, I hadn't thought of. I see videos like this, then wonder about the losers that give it thumbs down. Lol

[@vdubu1873]

The ear buds are a great tip. I have tinnitus from working around loud noises for over 25 years and ringing in my ears can be a distraction when working in the shop. I play music to cover the ringing but when wearing hearing protection the ringing is even more prevalent. Ear buds would definitely help drown out the ringing when spending a lot of time with the earmuffs on.

[@joecarmean1079]

More grinders! Whenever HF is having a big sale, and 4” grinders are $10-$15. Buy a couple. I have a grinder for each type of disc I use. Because they are cheap, when they poop 💩 out, I just throw them away, and get another one later. Also always look for tools at estate sales. You can get some great deals that way.

[@drewt3210]

100% agree! I'm an estate sale junkie. And I have 7 grinders...on the hunt for another large one. What do you do about cord management? I'm this close to biting the bullet and writing a big check to buy 6 cordless grinders.

[@timadams5046]

It may be elementary but buy a good vise and a bench grinder as some of the first tools for fabrication. I have three 4 1/2" angle grinders and need at least another. Lots of tape measures, they hide from you! Pencils at every work station to jot down a spec. Masking or blue painter's tape to label parts, material lengths, measurements, orientations, etc. In my welding cart I have pencil, soapstone, china marker, silver sharpie (shows up on steel) grease pencil, and a sharp scribe (ground down screwdriver) all for marking, I hate having to put the tape and the workpiece down and go hunt a rule! Great tips Nate! Now I wish my barely used Millermatic 211 was a 220 multi process!!!

I have several tape measures. My 2 Dewalts 30 & 16’ both broke only using occasionally. Switched to Milwaukee and love them have 3 of those 12’ 16’ 30’. BIG TIP is to check each tape measure against each other so you know that they can be trusted during a project with a lot of cutting and accurate measurements in both wood, trim and metal.

[@jdog4534]

One thing to look out for when using 2 different tape measures is to make sure they are both identical. It seems like a dumb comment but sometimes there are minor differences in length between 2 different tapes.. lol I still have my first jigsaw too. ..and it's also a B&D.. the only B&D tool I own, ..unless you could all my dewalt stuff.. Another good video, Nate. I like how informative your videos are, without overdoing it with the explanations, like some fab channels I've seen. Keep 'em coming...

I was coming here to mention that. If its critical the measurements are exact, always use the same tape for both measuring and cutting.

Good vid. Couple of thoughts to add. First, if you can spend the cash, a high end air hammer and chisel is worth it. It will actually cut weld away. I’ve been using my snap on (PH3050 I believe) for 15 years and its evil. I can actually whittle 3/8” plate. Second, just wanted to agree that a speed square and porta bands are a must. However, I’ve never worked in a welding/fab shop where every guy didn’t have at least an 8” and 12” speed square. Been at it for 25yrs. Also, while a newer tool, porta bands are the same, I carry both size M18’s and the M12 Milwaukee on my truck. Remembering the saw-zall only days makes me want to curl up with my porta bands and whisper sweet nothings into its motor. Just my .02$. Enjoyed the vid. Good advice
