I normally use a little hinged pattern jig and trace it out. Then I cut it with either a torch or a plasma. That or if it is nothing to critical I just eyeball it

It a great example of self reliance. On a ranch or farm you do everything yourself. Welder mechanic, hvac, plumbing, bricklayer, etc.

[@kirbylee57]

And without the truck drivers that haul the crops we dont eat either, along with those that drive the tractors, load it onto trains, bankers that loan the farmers money, used car salesmen that help provide transportation to get to the corn feild to work, and the rest of us that do it so people can eat, mainly the people sitting across the dinner table, just like the farmer. People work for the money, farmers and cops. If they didnt do it someone else would. Jus saying

Not really! They make a jig called joint jigger or something like that that used a hole saw. Its very good on thin stock.

[@x-man5056]

@@ChefKevinRiese I wouldn't call the drill pipe he was using thin stock. You watch TV guys use those hole saw cope cutters and they make it look easy. Creative editing. I think they may be the only good way to do angles other than 90 degrees though.

[@bryan34wable]

How do you even come to the conclusion this is the best way. It’s cool, really clean. But twice the time as a torch. Also only will work for pipe sitting on a table. Still need a torch for cutting your post.

[@jvmiller1995]

@@ChefKevinRiese The point to take away is that most people with the ability to weld already have or can justify sending the money on a chop saw. But unless you are welding a lot of round tubing this is the way to go. If you are arguing the absolute easiest way you can think of and money is not of factor then the easiest would be a 4 axis CNC plasma.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

I never said anything about this being the best and only way to saddle pipe. It has its limitations. It would be hard to do if you are trying to fit up any joint other than ones at 90 degrees and you would have to figure out different angles if you are trying to join pipe of different diameters. It’s another way to do something and I believe in having more than one way to skin a cat. I would argue though that it makes the prettiest and best fit up

[@michaelgarner4229]

I have been fighting with a torch all these years...this is awesome.

[@stricnine69]

This is epic. Ive coped pipe for year and years. I first started coping with a torch, then moved on to using a plasma. Today ive traded those both in for a chop saw. One tip i have if your using seamed pipe is using the factory seam as the straight line for your copes. If using DOM tubing or anything without a seam your way is how i do it too.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thanks for the advice! I’ll have to look for that seem

Well done. Thanks for sharing. Good to see you judging things “by eye”. As a tradesman fitter I was initially trapped in the idea that we had to use special mathematical methods and measuring equipment to do certain operations. This slowed me down and caused stress. When I eventually realised that my work would mostly be judged by others “by eye”, I began to use my own “by eye” judgement more. I think this helped me work faster and things became more relaxed and enjoyable. Best wishes from New Zealand.

I stayed there with him a couple of times and we reloaded ammunition and went hunting in Big Bush on the low hills behind his cabin. I saw him shoot a big red deer with one shot from an old Winchester .32-20 within walking distance of his cabin. Interestingly, your physical appearance reminds me of that Uncle's son.

[@xl000]

For those wondering where the angle comes from: it's just a number that works well for this diameter and thickness... The angle will be about 25 degrees for this case: 10cm diameter, 3 cm wall thickness It's just a number that works for the dimensions he's using This is a tradeoff between 1/ approximating the outer diameter of the tube, with the inner curve of the cut (which is an ellipse , project in the right plane) 2/ the amount of grinding he's doing at 5:05 3/ the geometry that's he comfortable welding (shape / size of the chamfer) There is no formula for this The only case that fits perfectly with no grinding, is : thickness of the wall = 0, angle = 45 degrees. This is just a mathematical problem equivalent to approximating a circle arc with an ellipse arc of different radii, and center, this is not trivial.

[@brucehayes5111]

Now dude, you just took a great idea for the common man that likes to fix stuff or build stuff and put a Sheldon Cooper remark to it. Just say "it's a pretty cool trick" and thank the man for sharing it.

[@liuj88]

@@brucehayes5111 I appreciate the OP's technical remarks. In fact, I wonder if there is in fact a universal formula that can be used for all (or most) common pipe sizes and wall thicknesses, which can then be used to make a table for quick reference. Or, for simplicity, disregard wall thickness and expect grinding in all cases. The common man may not be aware of geometry and the different angles required for different diameters of pipes, and simply following this video's 32⁰ - 33⁰ cut for any and all sizes can result in disaster. Those who don't like additional information can simply ignore it. At the least, be aware that one angle doesn't fit all. I thank the channel for the great tip and clear video, and the OP for the additional information.

@@liuj88 This has only just come up on my feed, so I have not had time to give it much thought, but I'm pretty sure that a good mathematician could derive a formula that could be applied to any pipe of any diameters(s) and angles. There will be a linear geometrical relationship between the variables and therefore they can be represented mathematically. Just like the tables of "Bend Allowances" cater for all angles, radii and sheet thickness.

Y'all be rocket scientist? Lol

[@landescape742]

Slick !! does pipe diameter effect the angle,how do you find it if it changes,

[@dougdouglass1248]

If the size is the same, no if you're going to larger post than the diameter of the horizontal it flattens. It also depends on the diameter of your posts as the the angle to make your cuts.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Yes to what Dougdouglass said. The angle will be the same no matter the size as long as the 2 pieces you are joining are the same diameter.

@@LuthiRanchWY go look at Drill pipe on a drilling rig. Then come back and tell me that thin walled stuff is the same. Drill pipe is at least 2X thicker if not more. Probably more like 3 - 4 X as thick if memory serves me. It's a HUGE difference i know that. And I'm talking wall thickness not diameter. 2-3/8 & 2-7/8 is considered Production pipe in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi I know for sure. Which is where I worked for 14 years. I thought maybe you had something heavier that was strictly for drilling. But when I seen its thickness it didn't look different to me. Most everyone calls it oilfield pipe or Tubing.

I really don't care what type of pipe it is. all I know is when I got home, I went out to the bone pile, found some pipe, and cut a piece for no other reason than to see if it would be that simple.. it was. thanks for the videos!

I was just asking a welder friend about this yesterday he didn't know I guess I should of asked a farmer like you👍

This is the first time I see someone do it that way. I use that method 40 years ago on st. steel and aluminum pipes. Good work.

BTW, the first time I couped St. Steel pipes, I used a 36gr belt sander.
