Thanks for that!

I dont know any pipe fitters who dont know some variation of this trick, well, none who are any good.. have to agree that he needs to hang out with more fabricator/welders.

[@Nachnoy71]

@@lukewarmwater6412 most of the Fab shop I worked for they used Auto Cad Program. Not to many old school left that had these types of skills set. Most of them are retired. I've been doing this fab work over 30 years I have not seen it yet.

[@Wyogoose]

Any field welder worth his diesel has a pipe fitters blue book in the truck that contains all of this information. Sometimes Google is not available.

[@Reman1975]

OK, I have to admit it, that's quite a handy trick. Most of these "Amazing trick that every xxxxxx should know" type videos that are flooding KZbin are total rubbish. Usually stuff that isn't done that way because it means 3 times the work of the more conventional method of doing it. But this one's actually a really useful (and pretty much idiot proof) way to accurately mark out a reducer pipe without having resort to maths and measuring. I'm impressed.

Do a video on the dangers of welding galvanized pipe...

[@ronb1071]

It's title can read don't smell and don't breath it

[@firebird77clonefirebird89]

wrap paper around each pipe diameter. Fold each paper the same number of times. These templates show the correct spacing for the cut outs.

[@Teknopottu]

This seems even easier. Good video sometimes brings out even better tips!

[@kylemilford8758]

Thank you! I was trying to follow the video but I dislike non narrated as I mostly just listen rather than watch

[@KaoticFdr1]

Isn't the smaller pipe section the remainder of the the larger pipe paper?

[@fltchr4449]

You have have the guard on your grinder and are well practiced with it. For me, those two things are related. Great video, Ron Covell style stuff. Keep your head out of the galvi fumes.

[@1-MinuteDIY]

Thanks for the tips!

[@mikeyyoyo6464]

Best trick I’ve seen ever I just wish I’d known it years ago when I was welding exhaust pipes up & hunting around for sleeves the right diameter 🙈. Thumbs up 👍

[@powderslinger5968]

You were doing this kind of work and you didn't know ten BETTER ways to do this layout? I'm not even a pro welder and I could do this layout in half the time this method takes. It works but it is needlessly overcomplicated. Do a little math and you don't have to do any folding or cutting.

[@CrusaderSports250]

@@powderslinger5968 you do need to measure very precisely though, this method works without measurement and in my opinion is a quick and accurate process, paper, scissors, and a marking device, all things to hand in a workshop. This looks far too useful not to have known forty or so years ago🤔.

[@CrusaderSports250]

@Richard Cranium we are talking about sheet metal working and not a milling operation, my comment still stands, to work this out mathematically your measurements would have to be reasonably precise otherwise you may as well work by eye, having made the measurements done the calculation and accurately marked it out, my tool of choice would still be a small angle grinder with a very thin cutting disc, a metal cutting hand saw could be used but would need a very fine blade due to the thin metal, (the distance between two consecutive points on the blade should always be less than the thickness you are cutting), a cutting disc doesn't have that limitation, both cutting methods need care and skill to do the job and an angle grinder need be no less accurate than using a handsaw, the paper/scissor method is perfectly adequate for the task in hand especially if dealing with non standard pipe sizes, or where commercially available reducers are not to hand, the correct way would be to turn a former on a lathe, then spin form the truncated cone, with welding flanges to fit into/over a swaged pipe before gas or tig welding the components together, a very neat job that has only taken you three days, you can over think things sometimes!☺. However you work your metal enjoy doing it and be happy with what you do.

If you cut the corner when the paper is folded you don't have to make all those dots. You'll have little notches at the folds when unfolded.

[@toddbertram6556]

There is a much easier way to do many of this channels tricks but it does involve basic math. These tricks works for folks who can't do the most basic of math.

[@kingpin76110]

Nice! That is smart.

[@badstate]

@@toddbertram6556 I checked your channel to see how to do it with basic math, but you don't seem to have any videos uploaded. Are you still working on them?

[@pvtimberfaller]

I disagree with the statement “for people who can’t use basic math” Methods like these are faster.

[@toddbertram6556]

@@badstate there are already plenty of online examples. Take the difference between your larger tube's ID and subtract the OD of the smaller tube. Decide how many segments you would like to use and divide your difference by that number and that will give you your incremental spacing for your large diameter tube. Decide how long you want your segments make midpoint scribes. In reality, craftsman should do whatever works best for them. Im sure if you do it long enough guys can do it perfectly freehand, no marks, eyecrometer style. To each their own, but often using math allows for better preparation and planning.

A much more elegant take on a reducer, best used in a pinch or artistic purposes. Im afraid if I fabricated a stunt like this on a steam line, I might get an old fashioned ear wringing...great post, pattern development is fun.

Yeah but if you have carbide it’ll make no difference cusses nothing will dull it. Or anything if the right operator is using the correct tool for the Correct purpose the way it was meant. Other variables is if you buy cheap habor freight ones the price of the wheel is obsolete. I personally would have put my 7” cutting wheel attached to my table saw. The best and fastest effective, to cut metal. Making sure the objects is clamped. And table saw motion. And using all the angles and measuring tools to quickly and safe cut. It’s more safe for beginners who’ve never had “ what would their life be like” without a nose, finger etc.

[@rickreimer9656]

I am a welder…. I use reducers…. A reducer is less than the amount of labor dollars invested into said fitting and less residual stresses induced on the finished connection… 🤦🏼‍♂️ Work smarter, not harder!

[@ryanbarton9370]

In some situations though when you can not find or have a reducer this is a great fix to the problem.

[@theProtocaster]

@Ryan Barton I actually agree with you. This is more of a diy at home solution for say... doing exhaust when you forgot to order the correct reducer. Lol

[@billwalck1324]

The "wrap around" rides again. The essential basic tool of the "torch and welder" craftsman dealing with shapes other than flat boxes. The visuals are descriptive in themselves, but description of the underlying principles would have been even more helpful. I do not know if the "WRAP AROUND" (patented) is still available, but if it is, it is a very useful addition to a tool kit. It is a heavy (about .020" thick) waxed strip about #" wide, with charts and tables on it for quick reference. Once in position, it is thick enough to support a soapstone along it's edge without becoming frayed. There's nothing wrong with using paper for reference tools from an accuracy standpoint, the principles still apply. In a pinch, or a one-off, just fine. A string can be similarly applied as well. No dimensioning, etc. just accuracy. My present project involves cutting a 23 1/2 degree miter on 4" pipe for a set of legs. I should make a vid of how that goes, preferably without a ton of grinding, as the thickness of the wall interferes with leaving a flat cut surface with a torch. Where would life be without challenges?

[@jesseayers7933]

I’d would watch the video. Any new trick that I can learn is always appreciated.

[@ericsaracosa2995]

I went to your channel yet no video upload even one. Thanks. I remember the wrapped around and softstone when i was working before as pipe fitter.

There's a thing here in the USA called ( a wrap around / pipe wrap) used by pipe fitters even does equations, mitres and such. Amazon had them probably work better for you

most guys use receipt paper rolls in the exact same way... saves tearing up your pipe wrap for simple layouts

It's never a bad idea to wrap your pipe up. Make sure you get a good quality pipe-wrap. Always check fitment. An ill-fitting pipe-wrap can cause some unwanted problems.
