getting the center line from the hole centers is the most accurate way. Well done on showing something correct on you tube.

[@tomchristopher4576]

Thanks for another great video! Structural fitup is an art form itself and you do a great job at it! Thanks for sharing your skills with us. NY, USA 👍

[@kimchiwelder8410]

Great Mig welding!! thanks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍

[@Laura-wc5xt]

well done, appreciate from USA. Paul

[@brandonlewis1245]

You should take a piece of heavy duty angle and clamp it to your plate so you don’t have to worry about it going anywhere. Then all you gotta do is push it plum and tack

[@candyjean3443]

Yea I’d do the same thing.

[@user-sh3nw1gp1v]

Good job 💯👍

[@adamgreen3969]

Thank you for sharing your work flow, great stuff

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Thank you Adam for watching. Much appreciated.

[@VypaGaming]

Great job! Ur doing ur job properly, unlike my workplace who are also a structural steel fabrication company however they tack their plates on unclean and on rusty beams with mill scale too. This is the proper way to do it. Grind the weld area of any rust and mill scale for a stronger weld and reducing the risk of porosity or other weld defects which may lead to re-work. But once again, my workplace dont care and if they get porosity they just weld over it and theyre like "ohhh itll do"

[@JoeNunes345]

Nice neat welds Just out of curiosity, what settings did you use? Thank you.

[@grassabrutta]

Do you by chance remember your voltage/feed-speed and the wire used ? also, what grade and thickness of plate was that ? Lovely vid btw :)

[@PaulandSandiKonkel]

Don't forget to radius the copes.

[@ubbynubb]

the way you have showed @ 3:30 to layout the plate, i find it is easier and faster to lay the plate out by finding center of holes and add half the thickness of the web and draw your line, then draw a perpendicular line through the hole center and mark the location out on a beam , rather than marking out the flange locations of the beam on the plate. this allows you to tack on the web and pivot your plate on the tack and make your web perfectly square to the holes. works amazing for heavier baseplates that must be put on with a jib crane, because you only have to line one spot up and tack it then you can adjust it with ease

[@ubbynubb]

very nice work nonetheless

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Fair shout and Each to their own. But your method definitely makes sense. More than likely This goes back to how you were initially shown, and is definitely the case with me, with regard to my chosen method. Thanks for your input, and for watching. 👍

[@ubbynubb]

@@TheMetalFabGuy you ask 3 fitters how to do something and youll get 4 different answers :) cheers mate!

[@ubbynubb]

@@TheMetalFabGuy i also find working off hole edges for finding center to be faster and more accurate rather than eyeballing centers

[@yukselakdeniz869]

Great job as usual! Do you use anything to prevent metal scattered particle welding around weld area except hand grinding?

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Thanks for watching. I don’t use any anti spatter or similar products. The weld area has not been cleaned during this video and Is at the raw post weld stage.

[@cletusfeltersnatch742]

Anti spatter products suck. Just learn to properly setup your volts and wire speed to minimise spatter

[@BEX_prof]

👍 what were the settings of the device?

[@brandonlewis1245]

And I’m glad to see you’re not welding downhill with that heat. Over here in the states I’ve worked with so many people who think that doing so will still hold like it would flat

[@cletusfeltersnatch742]

No professional welder would run these settings downhill. At least not where I come from. It would end up in one hell of molten metal drippings and I’d be out of business in a heartbeat

[@peetky8645]

looks like short circuit mig---didn't know that was allowed with structural steel.

good job for welding, may i know what welding wire with aws code are you using?

[@rotam8680]

equivalent of er70s-6. hes british so its a different code

[@skitown11]

Too bad MIG isn't a preapproved electrode by AWS D1.1

how to choose the type of welding ??? or TIG is the most widely used one ???

Is that a mig welding?

[@maskypyro1609]

I mean i dont have a issue with the weld but why not the normal techniques of circles or ( ( ?

[@125sm3]

Is that flux core wire your using? Great job

[@Laura-wc5xt]

looks like solid wire, no slag coating on weld except the silicon islands ...it would be a lot more slag if flux core gas or metal core

[@rotam8680]

Itd be easier to smooth your plate with a rock grinder, like yeah, you can use a cutting wheel but a rock, you just lay it down and its done

Too much spatter supposed to be using flux cored on structural steel

[@seanwright5725]

No your not

[@phillgreen8792]

There’s robots that can do this kind of work now

[@VortekXtiik]

Programming a robot to weld a structural member would take a long time, costly, and it wouldn’t ever be done unless there were hundred if not thousands of these exact members being produced. Robots are good in manufacturing a specific part that is to be made in large quantities like cars. Unless Elon Musks new robot has ability to fabricate.
