DIY Speakeasy Gate Build: Custom Metal Fabrication with Ipe Wood | Welding Tips & Tricks

In this video, we're diving into a custom DIY project inspired by my wildly successful Speakeasy gate build. Watch as I create a one-of-a-kind metal gate using precision welding and fabrication techniques, complete with a beautiful Ipe wood infill. I'll guide you through every step of the process, from building the frame and shaping the tight radius to customizing a lock box and achieving a perfect fit. Learn valuable tips and tricks for metalworking, including how to handle challenging welds, prevent warping, and create clean, professional finishes. Whether you're into DIY projects, custom metal fabrication, or just love watching skilled craftsmanship, this video has something for you. Don't forget to check out my go-to tools and materials, including the Evolution cutoff saw and the HTTP Pro Pulse welder, that make this project possible.

as the owner of the original "speak easy gate" I gotta I love these two more!! Thanks Jim!!

[@JohnnyCab]

Jimbo, your right , it's got to be hard to put a actual price on your labor with a project like that. You are a true Craftsman man ! Nice job.

[@24beto316]

A legend and an inspiration.

[@centerlinefabsolutions8918]

Nice work again my friend!

[@JimbosGarage]

Thank you!

[@Garlands_Fabrication]

Those are sweet and look like a ton of work. Its very hard to get that tubing bent the same to match twice. Great work!

[@lizzapaolia959]

WOW amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your videos. Beautiful gate... God bless 🙏

[@JimbosGarage]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice video this week Jimbo. Hopefully they enjoy it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.

Jimbos Garage,are de best

[@Reelaxing]

That IPE is beautiful... will last forever.. nice way to upcycle, too.. I built a sitting bench from IPE from a boardwalk that was damaged here (NY) during Superstorm Sandy... that wood is extremely dense also. Looks great, Jimbo.

[@marioserra4383]

I like your way to work, thanks for share the video, best regards from Venezuela

[@dennisreyna]

A piece get's "welded in" or welded in place; a job or section of a job is "welded out" or finished up. (Or I could be completely wrong, haha) Either way you'd be right and we'd know what you meant, Jimbo. - I will sometimes under bid a job because I know how long it should take if I were a trained welder/fabricator; but I'm not and I often spend a lot of time on details that an experienced pro would probably cruise through. Always a pleasure watching you work. I learn something new every time. Thanks!

[@ryantheentrepreneur4040]

Amazing work

[@stoneinthefield1]

That door is sweet! Heirloom piece for sure.

[@kennethtencza9209]

Very nice work, Jimbo .

[@wmweekendwarrior1166]

[@magnusbergroth5319]

Beautiful work! 👏👏👏

[@mauricioh.moreira6347]

NICE JOB

[@blazinggazelle6957]

Jimbo, that was some fancy welding and fabrication. You're the man on this project. Hope you got enough green stuff to make a mortgage payment.

[@Brian18741]

Outstanding work as always 👌👍

[@larrymills8527]

It was wilds watching the right leg move in and out as you heated it.

[@ocAToccd]

[@vpraggg]

Really good work, alot of detailed work, the 3/4 angle iron adds a nice touch of functionality and look...the 3/4 on the backside of the speak easy, I would have miter cut them around the speak easy...looks great thou...love from the Caribbean 🇹🇹

[@the9metalworks70]

Love your craft so much and always learning new skills from you

[@gdworkshop]

[@Gilibob13]

[@mackafixer]

[@rogeronslow1498]

Great job!

[@MadRhetorik.]

Heck yeah

[@calivalley9056]

Awsome build, love it!

[@krisb78]

Really nice gates. I enjoy your videos.

[@hunterm.172]

Id say Welded in when attaching a piece to something like a bracket to a frame, Welded out when just welding like on your table

[@rpower1401]

very nice job. I keep considering making something like this for my home but the cost of steel is so high and my need for that element so low it's hard to justify.

[@Alanbataar]

Steel is cheap. Skill is expensive. :)

[@amycyclenut]

I wish grinding in real life was 2x speed 😀

[@RiggerBrew]

WoW!

[@5TheFlyingFarmer5]

how many hours labor was one gate? they turned out fantastically 👏🏼

[@teklenayzgi5334]

Waww tnkiw

[@DigitalSwagg]

Wow, absolutely excellent craftsmanship! $30k for both I bet.

[@aral2dmax]

How do you clean the small metal particles that come ejected when you grind the metal .

[@wildnuts6197]

Jim did king metals close? I can't find them. Looking for decrative metal for the driveway gate.

[@filmer197]

why no 45 joints on that inside angle iron?? 1 more step to make it even nicer.

[@mikev.1034]

👍👍

[@ImABuckeye]

Go Buskeyes

[@turbofarviknugnnick5540]

Where do you get your weld table clamps you use ?

[@badzioch64]

What type of lockset or handle do you use on this type of gate?

[@JimbosGarage]

I purchase everything for gate building through Kingmetals.com

[@benshushan1995]

How much did you charge for these ?

[@aral2dmax]

So you didn’t charge him. 👍🏻😂
