Welding Square Tubing to Pipe: Essential Layout Tricks and Torch Tips (NO GRINDING)

[@williamthomas9463]

As someone else commented, I never would have thought to cut holes in the pipe but instead would have coped the square tubing. However, I do see the advantage of doing it your way. It’s much easier to position the tubing working by yourself. Your way may well be the better way to skin the cat. Nice job.

[@TaylorWelding]

Coping the tubing was pretty time-consuming. that’s what I started to do and I realize how long is going to take.

[@kylebrooks8128]

Cutting out the pipe instead of coping the square tube is a nice touch that i would of never thought of but since you cut out the pipe, was the miter on the sqaure tube absolutely even necessary? 🤔

[@TaylorWelding]

@@kylebrooks8128 no, it was just previously cut.

[@Jimmermahomoney]

I’m so glad I found your channel again. Your attitude is what the people need right now.

[@TaylorWelding]

Thanks tim

[@Jimmermahomoney]

It’s true. People need each other and you bring that to the table.

[@dealecrabr9425]

even with a triple o, i would be laying the torch at a steep angle so it is actually cutting a thicker section,,, i really like your harping on a clean tip, a lesson i got back in the mid 70s,,, the ripping sound of the properly cleaned tip is always the sound of a true craftsman,,,

[@bransonred1]

That was a cool way to fit square tube to round pipe. Man, your tips have me trying to come up with projects around my farm that I can utilize said tips! Thanks

[@TaylorWelding]

That is awesome!

Very. Good. Veto. A. Lot. Of. Good information. Also. Use. Temp. To. Make sides. Or. Ends. In. Machinery. That are. Rusted out

[@davidingram1536]

He's smart, only thing it's best to pull the tip off torch head before you clean it so you won't push slag into your torch this will end up stopping your holes back up.

[@TaylorWelding]

That’s a good point

[@WIRENUTZ82]

Thank you for putting out these videos I like to cut metal with a bandsaw

[@maverickweldiing8621]

looks like the same helper was using your tip cleaners that was using mine

[@steven458791]

Good job!

[@gunnerlrr]

Looks good brother

[@bjen2005]

Excellent job Chris !!!!

[@bsquadrider]

Helpful tips as always. Whenever you hang those gates I'd like to see how you estimate your sag when you hang two gates and want them even with eachother. I usually have to try it a couple times before they come out right.

Very good informative video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TaylorWelding]

So nice of you

[@kirstenspencer3630]

All great advice, thanks for sharing

[@LoneWolfWelding-hv7jk]

Another good one brother

[@TaylorWelding]

Much appreciated

[@chadhanson3431]

Great tips! Thx.

[@daniel___taylor]

Awesome video !!

[@neilheriot2361]

Slick👌

[@paulenespika9119]

You are an artist with an oxy acetylene torch. Now that I know the tip size, what oxygen and acetylene pressures are you using?

[@TaylorWelding]

Eight or 10 on the acetylene and 40 on the oxygen

[@TaylorWelding]

Thank you for the kind words

[@rognavolter]

I hate grinding/ grinders also. Cordless Portaband is my best friend. Would make quick work of that square tube

[@billm6171]

I have started following your channel, in one of your videos it appeared you used to paint marker of some sort. What kind do you find that works best? Thank you, Southwest Missouri

[@lifeoffthefarm791]

What lazer are you using ? Great idea instead of fighting with string

[@TaylorWelding]

NG3 genetics. It’s amazing.

[@Flamer-eq9pb]

How did you line up both fences, since they are across the road from each other did you pull from the road and put stakes in the ground with string line

[@TaylorWelding]

We pull a string where my neighbor wanted it

[@TaylorWelding]

It’s not really square with the road. More so square with the driveway.

[@questioningthoughts2152]

Impressive Chris. Two things, why not use a plasma cutter, they seem to be faster and cut cleaner. You'll probably say it's because you have no onboard air on the truck and gas bottles are easier to hual on the truck? Also, why cut square holes into the columns, but instead cut the square tubing with a radius and but it to the pipe? It would be plenty strong as you're still welding 360' around the square tube. In any case, you do some fine work. Maybe, for content, you could do another video addressing the comments here in this video and put us all in our place. Lol

[@TaylorWelding]

Those are all good questions. I will include them in the next video when I’m working on that fence. But you’re right I didn’t have on the truck and coping the square tubing was just time consuming

[@scottjune3554]

Nice

[@ty56942]

What brand torch do you have or recommend

[@TaylorWelding]

Victor 100%

[@gusferguson8353]

Do the layout and cope the tubing. If the posts are all janky and out of plumb... That may be an issue. But if everything is done right to begin with... It's pretty easy to do the layout and possibly make a template to cope the tubing to fit the pipe. At least that is how I would do it.

[@paulusmarc]

Bon Boulo, pourquoi ce mélange de tube carré et rond ?? 😆😆👍👍

[@chadhanson3431]

While great to see your torch head in the video…it would be great to see your hand position and how you steady yourself.

[@TaylorWelding]

OK. I might do a video and just that.

[@williepelzer384]

I would have fabbed the whole thing in the shop on a table. Then set it and poured it in the cement plumbed, with two temporary braces to hold it, in each direction.

[@TaylorWelding]

again, you’re sharp as a rat turd

[@logancapolupo3154]

I probably would have cut the square tubing to your angle. And then made a template for the Dia of the pipe to cope the tubing. Your way seems way easier lol

[@TaylorWelding]

I tried that first it was faster the other way for me

[@gordjohnson70]

Austin Ross has a thin soap stone and holder for sale on his web site, that you don't have to sharpen.

[@TaylorWelding]

I had one of those. I always broke it.

[@fztfabs65]

It probably would have been easy to saddle as well. Maybe I’m wrong. But I think you could have cut each end of your ST to the angle you want, then just saddle the top and bottom after, slid the ST down.

[@TaylorWelding]

I saddled one. It took so long, cutting holes just seem to be easier and faster.

[@fztfabs65]

@@TaylorWelding makes sense. It did looks pretty easy the way you did it.

[@peetky8645]

@@TaylorWelding your way is the way to go. with a saddle, the parts have to slide down the round tube to fit tight and you can only do that with one half of the x
