UPHILL WELDING PIPE GATE HINGES (MOTION, PASSES, RODS)

[@leecrawford6393]

Boss I’ve been around welding my whole life and I have never seen a stick weld as neat as what you do. Excellent work buddy.

[@jimlundstrom2986]

I appreciated the tips on laying the bead. The closeup of your weave pattern was great. Info on what rods you are using, up hill or down hill, and determining the correct heat never gets old. 👍👍

[@arosswelding]

Good to know. Thanks for your support! And thank you for watching!

[@kirkalley3469]

My favorite tip was hanging the Stinger on my pants pocket! I was constantly setting it on the ground and then picking it up. For some odd reason that never occurred to me. I might even incorporate a small utility or hammer pouch to hang the Stinger when I need hands-free to adjust a magnet or something..

[@6pekXX]

@@arosswelding I agree with the above comment! Thanks for sharing, showing and explanation Austin! It's nice to see some arc shots, though not so close up, show us more of them please! Very educational !Thanks a lot sir! God bless you and your family!

[@yeet3071]

A little late but I'm almost certain that's 7018 because the 3 black dots most 6013 would have green dots

[@papis_dad1847]

I’m not 100% sure but I believe your videos introduced me to pipe welding a few years ago. I’m 17 now and if all goes well I will be heading off to welding school in a few months. I just want to say thank you for everything especially all the cool tips,tricks, and I side view to welding 🙏🏼

[@caydenynclan1209]

same here brother, first class in 2 weeks

[@djoseph7164]

It will be the best choice you will ever make welding is the best job

[@ironc5194]

Practice off hand welding in school it’ll save you out in the field and make you look like a stud, good luck 🤙🏽

[@rehmangusandapiary9024]

The best ARoss video to date! I appreciated focusing on the welding process as well as good video of the uphill welding technique. Previous videos consist of the camera being too far away making it impossible to see the welding. Thanks and keep it up!

[@arosswelding]

You bet! Thank you for watching!

[@hobtink]

First time in 8 or so videos I’ve seen you weld the way I was taught uphill. Looks good enough for the girls I go with.

[@billarroo1]

That's great when you actually show with your hand and rod your technique of uphill welding, "keep it going", GREAT VIDEO, Thanks

[@tyleradamson7242]

Brother you sure are entertaining. I’ve worked on drilling rigs for 8 years in the gulf, roughneck and derrickhand, came home to be with my family so I’m working in a boiler now. Love watching your videos, I bought me a little Deko welder just to learn, and you sir are solving my uphill problems. Earned my sub! You, and the millennial farmer are my normal watches now!

[@arosswelding]

Thanks for the sub! And thanks for watching! I’m glad you have found the videos helpful and entertaining lol!

[@beaubowlin7081]

Austin I just love the attitude you have and the upbeat motivation you show on how to do a professional job even when things don’t always go your way. Keep up the good work and look forward to more videos bud!

[@arosswelding]

I’ll sure do it! Thanks! And thank you for watching!

[@aarongriffin6326]

i love your positive attitude and calm demeanor. one of the few genuine people on KZbin. keep on being yourself bud!

[@derekseiders3597]

Another thing to consider when hanging gates is of the gate is used while there is snow on the ground some guys around here like there gates hung alittle high so they can open freely with snow on the ground

[@MrPipeliner99]

What a great attitude. Keep your head in the game. Instead of setting home waiting on the next big pipeline project which isn't going to happen. Your an example of putting your skills to work and probably making more money doing this and home every night.

[@trentcoleman1089]

Watching your videos is relaxing after a 12 hour day in the fab shop ☕️🤘🏻

[@airpowderchannel7681]

I'm a diy welder around the house u just inspire me to keep doing new projects thank u

[@mr.matthews67]

I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers. I have learned a lot from you and your channel I appreciate everything that you've done. God bless.

[@rockyshoffner8216]

The quality of your arc shots are amazing I would like to see more

[@MasterHustler]

Great video Austin. I always learn from your videos including a file works better than a chipping hammer. Thank you.

[@rustyshahan935]

Thanks for showing the process up close. Nice job sir.

[@arosswelding]

You bet! Thank you for watching!

[@kerryevans7413]

Great information on the Gate install video. Love how you showed the welding technique as you described what your doing.

[@survivalguyfyi5718]

Damn! Your vertices look like my flat positions. Freakin awesome! I can occasionally do a vertical and it turn out like that. But it ain’t every time for sure. To get consistent verticals that look like that takes a lot of time burning rods. I weld as a side business on the weekends, and not every weekend so I may never get there. It’s nice to see an example to strive for though. I think one reason I like your videos so much is that I can tell you genuinely love welding where as many people do it out of necessity. You have a way of igniting that passion in someone wanting to learn the trade.

[@paulshuppert4975]

First thing they did when I started as a sheet metal worker, was to stick weld 16 gauge round fittings together. Used 6011 3/32 rod. First things I ever welded and I totally believe if you learn on light iron it's easier to go heavier

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks Austin for another good lesson on hanging a gate. Looks great, Fred.

[@arosswelding]

You bet! Thank you for watching!

[@teis79]

Who needs a TIG machine when you can weld uphill with 7018 like you do! Wow that's the best looking uphill 7018 weld on the web!

[@James-fs4rn]

👍 nothing but respect! That big ol gate looks like it could benefit from a support wheel. Thanks for sharing. Hope the family is ok.

[@scottmorris2601]

“A little bit of undercut…..I reckon it’ll be OK”. Haha, if I laid a bead down like that I’d dislocate my shoulder patting myself on the back.

[@noride11]

Good on you man! like you, I have transitioned from mostly pipe, to mostly everything else but pipe... Life goes on!

[@randyknighton772]

You can put a head rack on the front of your bed and a removable one on back. I store the rear one behind my machine sort of like a Hoosier pole

[@the_boatswain]

Cool to see you burn rod. I remember further back I don't think teaching actual welding methods was really your thing, but yeah - good stuff man.

[@shad6057]

That Weld is extremely clean & Tidy. Thank you

[@monkfry]

Squeezing every inch out of that rod like you did reminds me of tacking stay silv ends together to make another rod. Nice work, Excellent business name!! 👍

[@richardfuerst5286]

"Eyecrometer" 😂😂😂😂👍 Love it! We don't have those in Michigan. I'm going to check Ebay!

[@djamison9888]

The shade on your camera's filter is just right. I can see the puddle. Undercut on this (not critical) is better than lack of fusion..

[@workonitm8]

Thanks for the tips Austin. Always appreciated.

[@arosswelding]

You bet! Thank you for watching!

[@sargentslaughter3509]

You did a fine job there sir , keep up the good work.

[@jamesoliver6625]

First objective is to make the opening full width usable by the client and that determines the minimal positioning of the gate (to get it opening beyond the gate posts).

[@cutweldngrind]

I need to build a similar gate for my ranch but steel prices have sure climbed. The main entrance I have has a 13ft height clearance so I must open the second highway entrance to get heavy machinery in. Cool video again.

[@codynapper2498]

Great video. I just discovered your videos and thank you for your tips and knowledge. Lucky you don’t have to contend with snow pack in winter. It’s a killer on gates you can’t adjust the height.

[@assabetmetalfabrication6143]

Like how you use a regular welding helmet instead of a pancake helmet which is really used for pipeline work Great work and good advise with always a sense of humor

[@rksando1]

I might have hung it a little bit higher. In Oklahoma the vegetation will grow in and get in the way when you open and close. The welds look great. I still haven't mastered vertical 7018 so I would have probably used 6010.

[@berwidwhitaker221]

Great weld from a master welder

[@israeltorres8603]

please show in one of your videos what you eat out there in the field , do you have mini grill?

[@gaildimick1831]

If I could weld half that good, I’d feel great. Nice work.

[@thomasbartlett6771]

You have the best unlimited attitude and techniques that I have found online. Great videos and keep them coming!! BTW, what electrode polarity were you using? It sounded like DC current.

[@danclay8229]

Considering the material condition I was expecting that first pass to be with 6011 then the 7018 cap. I suppose it is a non critical gate hinge though.

[@johnniecarter5764]

Hey Bub… I’m new to your channel. You do a great job with everything from quality of work to explaining the process at hand. I’m 44yrs welder by trade. Most of all my work had been structural/Millwright shutdown work. I’m curious if you would recommend someone such as myself to jump into working solely for myself. “Into days economic status” I have no interest in outages/shutdown work. I’m more interested in gates,Equipment etc….. any feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@LawtonDigital]

Your little finger knows more about welding than I do, so I have what may be a simple question. Why not use 6010 for your root pass to get more penetration? Awesome video, thanks!

[@robertboykin1828]

Hay, I dig that grease fitting on the hinge.

[@clifbrewster8822]

I'm not worth a crap going up the hill I'm going to try your advice out by what you said I think I'm running to much heat thanks for the info I need it

[@oliverhill84]

Definitely a skill to learn as you'll never know when to need it. I got my welder last week and have some cool blobs and popcorn splattered everywhere lol

[@morganweller1491]

Nice Arc shot and rod manipulation video one of the best actually

[@elisan6838]

You gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done ‘ awesome!!!

[@arosswelding]

That’s right

[@FirstLightAdv]

That's crazy amazing weld!

[@danilomalagayo236]

Great ideas for sharing us your technique to Gain Knowledge. Thank you very much.

[@arosswelding]

You bet! Thank you for watching!

[@TBizzell68]

I can’t wait to see what you come up with when you build the new bed

[@arosswelding]

Oh me neither… I’m more than ready…

[@rogelioramirez6675]

I love ur videos always I learn something....thanks again.....

[@arosswelding]

You bet! Thank you for watching!

[@obfuscated3090]

If you make a mast (whatever style ya like) to hold signal lights on the trailer where they'll be visible (see DOT regs etc) with a load that can be seen from behind you're legal and safer in poor visibility. LED worklights are cheap these days and also benefit from being raised up.

[@ridinrocks]

I gotta work on my vertical and overhead great stuff man

[@Cristo_Mario]

Thanks for a great video. When doing portable (with gen) welding - why do you prefer to use a stick welder instead of a mig welder?

[@geneautry2091]

That's my favorite position. 3g uphill 7018

[@shemwayman1146]

VERY NICE WELDS... SIR ,,THANK YOU.

[@martyshannon7542]

The Highway Patrolman would be impressed. Red flag on gate. Check. My Daughter -In-Law is a CHP in Cali.

[@FAUZIAKBAR89]

Gate nya simpel..and minimalis sir 👍🤝 indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@botsbass842]

Know why i like aross videos? You work a lot like i do and it makes me think my ball and chain job might not have me by the balls forever. You ought to make it so that piece of pipe bolts up to your trailer so you can leave it leaning on the side of the barn until you need to haul another gate.

[@txdoodlebug]

I have been loved tenderly by the Oklahoma DOT. You keep this up and you will be too.

[@japples6852]

Love the channel Austin. Thinking about doing a pipe fence. I'm in central FL and have a few questions. This fence is just raw mild steel correct? You don't treat it with anything when finished? Left raw and in the elements, how long does one expect to get out of these fences before they start rusting away? Thanks man. Stay safe out there.

[@scrapbmxrider16]

Putting food on the table is the most important thing. Get after the mods on rain outs

[@arosswelding]

Word

[@matbillings2533]

Eyecrometer. I like that! :)

[@arosswelding]

Pretty slick ain’t it lol

[@placesucantgoadv2579]

Hey, I just did gates yesterday

[@arosswelding]

Nice

[@benjaminthomas2626]

This is great, I love welding but I never get to do enough of it. Im self taught, I'm no expert, I can lay a decent Bead but uphill is always a challenge. I've never used a 7018 rod though as I believe you need a DC capable machine? Anyway, I need lots of practice with uphill welds

[@joshskelton2101]

Ingenuity at its best with hauling that gate…

[@joesanchez4599]

You should show a video on how you center the hinges on the post and get the hinges in line with each other

[@jonnyonthespotwelding979]

Hey “A” man, I’ll be hanging the first set of wrought iron gates this weekend. I’ve made some of the gate jigs (they’re a little different) like your set. This will be the first time I’ve done this type of work. With your videos, and your insight, I think we’ll do ok. Wish me luck. Hood down lights on.

[@arosswelding]

Nice! Good good! I’m glad to here the videos have been helpful! Good luck on the project. I bet y’all will do great 👌

[@imgamegame3560]

I love that rig brother thanks for the content you give us stay blessed

[@robg836]

I got myself a Martin Bros shirts on your recommendation...Great shirt

[@arosswelding]

Good deal! I’m glad you like it! I love the mountain cloth material.

[@ThomasSmith-fz6wq]

Do you prefer stick welding over mig? Or do you have to stick weld gates and pipe fence? I don't know anything about welding! So Iam just curious! I don't see very many people that stick weld on KZbin! Great video!

[@_MK_Machines.Co_]

🔥 Always learning from you Ross! 🔥

[@arosswelding]

Good good! I learn from all of you also! Thank you!! And thanks for your support!

[@tobyp6974]

Found lots tips I’m only Learning properly use to weld years ago but only to temporarily fix stuff until I could get someone to fix properly. Now I’m learning to do it all myself. When welding I’m having trouble with the slag I can’t get it of like u what am I doing rong

[@abelmendez8603]

You are a good teacher sir!

[@gmartinez2555]

Awesome job that weld looks great. Ain’t going nowhere.

[@Kettenhund75]

We have sandy soil down to about 18". Once you get past that, it's extremely hard compacted sand. It's a lot like trying to dig through rock. Would it be sufficient to set a 7' 2 7/8 post three feet in the ground (12" hole 3' deep, post set in concrete) for a 4'x12' gate as long as the posts are braced? I plan on building angled braces with 4 vertical posts and a single horizontal brace between all 4 on each side. The setup will be a lot like the 8" dia entrance you built, but without the high horizontal. Would you use your fence clips to attach goat wire to the braces?

[@raymondquave2843]

Question. Why use the baby 3/32 rods , is it to get a pretty weld , or easy process with this size rod , my all around rod is 1/8 or 5/32 7018 rod just curious

[@BMGProjects]

Thank you for the welding pointers!

[@nickycritic5269]

Man I wish you were closer. I sure would like to do a couple projects with you. Good stuff, keep it up. 👍🏼

[@terryhattaway9168]

Hey Cuz, have you very use a 2, 3 or 4” x1/4(3/16) plate to fill the gap on the gate’s off side? Sure fills the opening and stops calves from trying to escape on to the roadways and byways, lol

[@johnmacmillan627]

Thx! How many passes did you do on the gate hinge?

[@fuckingpippaman]

"little bit of undercut" ahahhahaha. From an ex-ndt tech visually is surely satisfactory

[@dominicchavez6995]

Great work , and you explain really well . I enjoy your videos and I learn some good tips.

[@arosswelding]

Thanks. Thank you for watching!

[@jejunjohn]

You’re a good teacher!

[@the_borax_kid2233]

Remember to throw a caution flag on that gate. Gotta love it bud keep it up 💯. Nevermind I saw them flags.

[@florentinorenteria588]

Nice weld AR

[@raycurren3639]

Cool stuff. You should start signing your gates somewhere inconspicuous. AR in weld. Lol. There that cool. Keep up the good work

[@yoelroque3950]

Hi Austin I bought a handheld welder brand Spark with a dial knob on top that goes from 1-5 1/2 how can I set it up to weld with a E 7018 3/32 rod what’s ur advice, I got this machine just to do little things around the house

[@kevinbrowne1278]

Wow that was a nice looking cap!

[@Tony_860]

Hey I’m new to welding what would you need that much water for welding really curious

[@razorfame9523]

Wish I would have watched this before taking my vertical class because I had to figure that out on my own

[@romanlevario6466]

I appreciate the info and knowledge you give on these videos, I have a question when welding up hill whether it's structural or fencing is it ever to cold Amp/ heat wise, I'm still learing uphill if weld @ 90amps is that good for a structural building uphill or anything structural.. thanks again for the info and knowledge on welding.

[@matthewrenton1423]

Depends on the size of the rod your using and the thickness of the material your welding.

[@charlieronk7909]

Thanks for the tips for sure. Beautiful beads!

[@arosswelding]

Thank you for watching!

[@robroy5729]

You've got a great truck although I think it might serve you better if it had a standard flatbed on it with some tool boxes on the underside. Those beds seem to be designed and made for pipeline welders. Any work outside of that, like a simple property gate leaves you in this type of situation. Nonetheless you still kick ass and I love the content you provide as well as the information. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@frisbeephil]

Finally welding at 13 minutes in.

[@witnessrevelation]

looks decent bro.. probably wouldn't have got that undercut if woulda cleaned the rust up a little better but hey your also not welding a building together so it'll hold for years to pass lol.. good job bro thanks for the videos.. I really do appreciate it.. gives me ideas for building fence around here

[@justinbanister3318]

I know you weld with 5/32 7018 on the gates is there anything wrong welding hinges with 1/8 7018?
