How To Saddle Pipe at Odd Angles

[@lyster1ne681]

It takes a real businessman to know when and how to delegate, even if your pride as a welder might make you want to burn every joint on your own. Doing all that cutting and fitting to ensure that everything’s correct and up to standard, and then letting someone else do the easy work, is a testament to your humility and knowledge!

I have no idea how I got here but this vid was strangely relaxing and informative. This gent is the Bob Ross of pipe fitting 😊

[@snakeplisken3931]

Thanks for the refresher course. I've been out of the pipe fitting game for 20 years and find myself having to fit some 5" pipe together and found this video very helpful. Thank you !

[@neilheriot2361]

I start a new job in a week, they require one of those angle finders and a bevel gauge . My idea of the angle finder was way way off and I didn' t know what a bevel gauge was, I have never had to use them. I definitely learned something over coffee today, thank' A R. 👌

When building gates or working on say 3,4,or 5 rail fence; I ask all guys on my crew to use this terminology and mark the pipe accordingly with soap stone, TT-is top top aka high side of pipe top side, TB is top bottom, aka top side of pipe on lower side if running down hill, BT-is bottom top aka bottom side of pipe in correlation to the tt side , last but not least BB or bottom bottom; follows suit with aforementioned… it helps guys to start visualizing their cuts and copes and to quickly realize that if their line posts or gate ends r square or titsmcghee level, then the opposing cuts will be exactly the same…most importantly it helps stop guys from wasting pipe by not paying attention and putting their short side cuts on same side of pipe I really like the custom templates; especially for gates… great stuff brother keep it coming.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great looking gate and lots of good info too. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe around there. Fred.

[@emmanuelgermain769]

Nice work! It's in times like these that you sometimes miss having a good fitter with you that can develop templates fast. But it's also by doing that you get better and increase speed and productivity so I give you a great thumbs up for taking your time to do your templates and work to a good standard of quality.

[@petermccuskey1832]

From an old welder, Nice tutorial!!!

[@mikesmith2383]

Recently found your channel. I was going to ask why you stick weld most all your projects instead of MIG. Also, those cutting torch skills are second to none!! Thanks for the videos, good sir!

[@malabuu_1557]

When you’re outside MIG doesn’t work very well because the environment will mess up the shielding gas and cause malfunctions in your weld. MIG is mainly used indoors.

[@Grunttamer]

Austin, why don’t you keep these cut templates and then transfer them to metal and market them with your plans for the gates

[@LifetimeinWelding]

Because they are easy enough to make them oneself

[@Grunttamer]

@@LifetimeinWelding fair. If it was me wanting to fabricate a gate from his site for one of my first pipe projects I would want it to be as idiot proof as possible. He makes it look easy but he has an insane amount of experience.

[@LifetimeinWelding]

Get the practical skills first and that is:- look up “finding the joint lines of interpenetrating geometric solids “ & “parallel line development” Other wise your whistling in the wind.

Every angle is different

[@stanwooddave9758]

Austin, not trying to be a smart-arse, but the CAD program I'm using, (Turbo-Cad 2020) shows that if your vertical upright for the gate, is 5' Ft. next to the 16' Ft. - 6 1/4" in. 8" in. Dia. pipe, Gate Entrance upright. your overall gate width is 11' Ft.- 9.759" in. Allowing for one inch weld-on hinges. Front part (the vertical is 3.5" in. dia., X 3' Ft. - 8" in. tall / height) I'm getting /showing a 70.099° angle. That's measuring three inches down on the 5' Ft. vertical, and at the front / leading edge of the 3' Ft. - 8" in. vertical pipe measuring up from the bottom the gate front upright 5.637" in. approx.

[@bartbley1269]

Does the cad program transfer well to the reality ? Can cad do cope templates for different wall sizes ? Wall thickness makes a big difference to cope fit .

[@johnnyr4767]

Interesting to hear north Dakota mentioned

[@briandowson5476]

Austin. Can you elaborate on those hinges in an upcoming video please? I’m quite interested in that design but I’m not quite understanding how’s it’s all supposed to come together.

[@dimeweld]

Very sweet sweet knowledge here.

[@simpleman4224]

Great job buddy! Have a great weekend! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@gaildimick1831]

Very nice, thanks for the info. Makes me want to get out and work, if the weather will cooperate. God Bless and Keep the Faith.

[@paulusmarc]

Bon Boulo, Vidéo trop courte😀😀👍👍

[@HerbertMoore-n9u]

Where did you buy that grinding cone from?

[@pivvittle6003]

This was fascinating to watch... 😏

[@royestrada7061]

Could you make a video explaining difference of all the engine driven welders and explaining the gears and setting please. Thank you Austin

[@MastaYoda]

Hey Austin thanks for the amazing videos

[@arosswelding]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@paulhunter9550]

Great video!! Question? Not being critical here but I here you say learning curve or maybe learning more when you end having to take the long way around on a project. Do you figure out the best or fastest way and then your charging the customer or is the customer being charged while your figuring it out? Just wanting your opinion/advice so I can be fair with my customers, thanks

[@rodrigomelchor2142]

Where would you look to buy fence pipe in indiana?

[@stevekitchens7876]

Austin - 1/3 of the pipe diameter will get you real close on the ear length of a cope like that.

[@mattcollier1712]

What do you use for template material?

[@J_bar_S_Photography]

OK, this is a weird question lol but what brand are all your jeans you wear and where do you get them??

[@mikewilber2886]

How about a video on that welding bed you’re building?

[@oldlincolnpipewelder]

How is it cold in Oklahoma? It was in mid 80s all week here in VA!

[@WCMusicProdigy]

What kind of gloves are you wearing in this specific video?

[@apeterson23]

You have a link for the angle finder you use? I dont see it on your site. Great video!

[@jayjames7619]

I try to watch your videos when I can. I am a refrigeration technician apprentice... 2nd year.... my question is, are you R certified? I am a hobby and non certified welder. I was wondering the process of getting R certified and the prospects just that field... in your opinion. Thanks! I am 50 years old and decided to change change fields... from 20 plus years of manufacturing of food and pharmaceuticals to maintenance.

[@2nickles647]

I'm certified 😜

[@janvanniekerk3267]

How do you get your 7018 to restart that easy? I'm new to stick and I end up touching them up on the grinder or I can't seem to strike an arc with the Flux balling up over the tip. I've been using 6011 to root pass and cap with the 7018 on my h-braces

[@jr.h6595]

Try using a file to file down that tip

[@whoknows3347]

K ron...Karen makes me miss the neighborhood cat named carl....same colors....

[@evansullivan3455]

Love watching ur videos . I have learned a lot from ur videos . Ur bad ass at what u do!!!

[@LifetimeinWelding]

Full size Set out of the gate or any frame out using chalk lines on a setting out floor. I.E. using multiple sheets of 3/4” steel sheets 8x4 stitch welded or larger on level concrete. Then make the template from the set out angle using “parallel line” development method. Accurately Cut and shape the parts no guesswork and cutting and grinding a second time. Convert the chalk line set out to an assembling jig. By welding on angle iron as side stops Question is. Why use pipe. Box section would be easier or T section or channel section or L section. Surface protection. Where I live they’ed need to be galvanised.

[@namarhodge568]

What happened to the 12" pipe entrance you were doing to be sent off?

[@Dalton-b6q]

Hi austin my names dalton so here in 4 months me and a friend and going to be going on the pipeline and I was wondering if you had any tips for me or anyone going with a friend and the pros and cons of it?

[@bigwhisky4676]

Nice job brother I know how those angles can be time consuming but you have that shit dial down, I just changed the timing belt in my classic I 250,It was so loose it was about ready to jump time, I was just wondering when was the last time you changed yours, just curious get back to me if you can on that! Good job bro

[@FuhqEwe]

Wanted to spice things up with the wife, this video is not what I thought it’d be.

[@greatestever545]

Nice!!

[@chrisduncan2626]

That gasket material makes a good wrap doesnt it? Haha

[@secretagent5658]

Good night

Average life expectancy of career welders?

[@bartbley1269]

seen one croak at 99years old . I'm 69

[@furrycircuitry2378]

Uhh huh huh you said average huh huh hu
