Fabricating metal saw horses

- In this one, we fabricate some steel saw horses to help us while doing big jobs here in the shop. We use dual shield MIG to weld them up, and we do some cope work with a torch. I had an Intern on this project, and I was quite impressed with how he did. Hope you guys enjoy!

Great dad… walking him through it is kind… unlike my dad who walk away and complain when it wasn’t done correctly… hats off to you
As someone who doesn't have a lot of hands-on experience with welding and fabrication, I find this sort of video valuable where you are teaching an intern.
Noted. I will try to put out more videos like this. Thanks for watching!
6:00 Look at that - we've got ourselves a thinker. AWESOME Bridger, keep that up. Fabricating is 70% brain, 30% work.
Agreed. Very exciting to see him using his Fabricator-brain. Thanks for watching!
As a young welder and beginner entrepreneur, it makes me happy to see your son weld with you!👨🏭👍
22 minutes.. Bridger has the same angle that I weld 90% of my welds. He is still pushing it, but the nozzle is out of his way and he can see what's going on. My advice at the end would be to stop linear movement 1/4" from the end and rotate on the same axis as the weld until he gets to his 15-20 degree angle the other way and then drag the last 1/4". (I learned that from a guy that worked in a shipyard.) I have passed many x-ray structural tests using that technique on horizontal and overhead welds.
Bravo to you for not being an ass when he needs instruction. I have seen people try to teach welding and expect perfection from the beginners. By not overly criticizing, you keep him from getting frustrated.
This was one of your best episodes just because you took your time in teaching your son and enjoying it together, much respect sir and GOD bless.
Thank you, I appreciate that. It was a fun project to build with my son. He is starting to get the hang of it. God bless you and your family as well. Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love seeing the trade get taught to the next generation, and the calmness in the explanation is great. Nice job !
HD saw horses are a must have. Build me some a couple years ago to match my welding table and are fully adjustable so you can level it out if need be and holes in the top so I can use my table clamps on them. Nice set for sure 👍👍👍
Agreed. They are a must in any fab shop. I like my saw horses like I like my women. Sturdy. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Sweet nothing like a good night in the shop bonding with your kid
Even cooler you didn’t get upset when the cut wasn’t perfect I’d always get bitched at even if it was my first time doing something
@@dill5500 I have tried really hard to be patient while I’m teaching them. It can be a challenge, but I’m learning myself. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Nice job
Nice job Bridger your saw horses came out nice brother. You will be driving the new truck and trailblazer to side jobs in no time 😁 I have had both rear ends out of a Mack dump truck and supported the chassis with a homemade steel saw horse. And yours look heavier built than mine. Those things will hold up a house lol
Great stuff. Love his sweatshirt. I was not allowed to say “I can’t” as a kid and neither are my kids.
It’s not an option at our house either. Kid or adult, we may not be able to get it done in the way we want, but there’s always a way. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking time to invest in a young persons future and keeping the trades alive here in the USA. Taught welding for a trade school in Phoenix AZ for High School Students after I retired. Each class was 3 1/2 hours a day with 2 classes of 24 students in each. Amazing how much they absorb and the drive they get to be the best. They just need someone like you to give them a shot.
Thank you, I appreciate that. I am equally grateful that you have invested so much of your time to teach the youth of America as well. Thank you. The sad truth is if more Dads took the time to teach their boys how to do things, I think trades would be booming, but I think it’s another one of those areas where our current society struggles. Thank you for teaching those who don’t get the opportunity to learn things at home, and thank you for watching!
Good job young man.
Keep your hood down.
You have a good teacher,
And your dad will never mislead you.
👍✌️
This is awesome. Love seeing the intern learn. You’re really patient and that’s great.
I’m working on it. Lol. Bridger is working on his welding, and I’m working on being a decent teacher. Thanks for watching!
Well, you're hell for bloopers, but a hell of a good dad . lol :)
Fantastic job!
Great Video involving the Family 👍 mate , I did a similar job down under in this part of the world 🦘 , actually dropped another box section sleeve inside the existing one cast in the concrete driveway for added strength because it could be only welded from the top as well , kids usually bounce off the post when there shooting hoops , even the big ones 😂. Love your plasma table and all your Miller machines against the wall , I'm a big Miller man at heart .
@@paultalaimanu9791 Thank you sir! I want my kids to be able to learn skills that can benefit them throughout life even if they don’t use them in their Career. It’s nice to have a friend in Australia. And I’m glad to hear that you have a love for Miller. So do I. Obviously. And the burn table is a game changer. Thanks for watching!
This is by far my favorite to date. Kudos to you passing on the trade. He is taking to it like duck to water, a natural. You are so patient and give clear instruction.... Needle skadle looks like a useful tool 😆
Thanks brother, I enjoyed taking on this project with him. He is definitely picking it up. It’s exciting to see. I think it’s now referred to as a Needle scadle. Lol.
Love your video’s. Brings back so many memories working with my son in the shop. Now we are working with my 4 and 7 year old grandsons!
Love to hear that. Gotta keep teaching that younger generation to do things with their hands other than play on a phone. Thank you for watching!
Love those for welding buckets up and holding dozer blades up and loader buckets , nice work both of you
Thanks man, I love using horses for buckets and blades as well. So nice not crawling around on the floor or bending over. Thanks for watching!
Hood time and practice is key. I remember the first time I held a stick welder and torch in shop class. Safety is another learning aspect as well. You guys are doing great and I enjoy this channel. Thanks for sharing. Soon I plan on doing saw horses but not as wide.
Thanks, I appreciate that. Sawhorses are one of those things that you should build to fit your needs. I own a forklift, and I sometimes work on larger projects, so I like mine a little more stout. Sounds like you will building yours to fit your needs. That is ideal. Thanks for watching!
Great job teaching your son. Just scared me when I seen that un-capped argon bottle free standing on the floor, I have seen those go off after falling over. Full bottle will go over 300 feet. Keep up the great work and videos. Thanks
You tell Bridger to stop chasing them wild women!!! They're liable to catch him!!!!!!;-))))
I’ll tell him, but I don’t know if he’ll listen! Lol.
sweet
Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍
Honestly its great to see you teach your kid how to fabricate stuff. But if youre not teaching him to use the correct PPE from the start youre doing him a massive disservice. For dual shield flux core you need to wear a respirator and unless he needs glassses there is no reason for him to have his face so close to the weld. You only get one set of eyes and lungs please look after them
oxy/fuel cutting the lost art killed by plasma cutting lol. love the message on the boys shirt
We have to keep the lost art alive.
I’m beginning to think Oxy/fuel isn’t the only thing that’s a lost art. Seems like having Faith is getting rare as well. Thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 well said brother it is definitely hard to fine here in las vegas. keep up the training with your son , god bless him for having the want to learn how to use his hands and head. can't find that much here anymore.
I watched the complete video and see you're using 3x6 tops with 4x4 frame, I might have missed it but what length are the top beams ? Thanks for the great videos and flags !!
Good to see your son taking an interest in your profession. I've never run dual shield. I'd like to try it. I am curious, why you told Bridger to push. I was taught "when there is slag, you drag" - I assume that "rule" does not apply to dual shield? What gas do you run with it?
It’s exciting to see him taking an interest. You should try dual shield. I think you would fall in love. It’s just my opinion, but I believe the “If there is slag, you drag” phrase is complete BS. Think about stick welding for example, When you weld overhead you should push the rod. When welding uphill, you push the rod. I feel like every process has examples of that phrase being incorrect. I took a
College class and the instructor used to say that. Then I got a job in the real world, and figured out that couldn’t be further from the truth. I didn’t mean to go off on a rant, just trying to explain why I feel that way. I use straight CO2 with my dual shield wire.
@@Freedomfabrication777 Thanks for the information. That's good to know.
you need more of a gap have bridger do a 3/32 gap
You need 2 ppl to move it!😮😂🤷🏾♂️
I only need 1 forklift to move it.
Great video and fun to watch the teaching.
I missed it but how wide are the sawhorses?
Do you mean at the base?
@@Freedomfabrication777 I guess the length of the rectangular tube. The are pretty stout., Luckily you've got the forklift.
Awesome video!!!! How do you like the welder nation welding shirt? Been debating purchasing one.
Mine is a “western welding” brand, and I love it so far.
@@Freedomfabrication777 I Gotchya, I got the names mixed up! Awesome! Thank you sir!!
Why did you cut the long pieces in half? If you’re going to lay them across the A frames anyway. 🤔🤷🏾♂️😖
I didn’t cut them in half. They were drops from a previous project. We welded them together so they would be long enough.
Why would you push dual shield
Cause it runs like a dream.
@@Freedomfabrication777 fair enough
@@dinoj8126 Give it a try, you might be surprised. Thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 I believe I would but maybe when I do some welds that dont get xray, these are pull only for now. Cheers👋🏻

TRUMP
Very nice! One of my favorite things is working in the shop with my yutes!
BTW, where did you get your nut and bolt kit from? What did you get? How is the quality? How is the price? I am currently shopping and I think I will just go with all grade 8 because the cost isn't much from where I am looking. Thanks
Thanks! I bought my bolt bins off Zoro.com, and I got the hardware from a local company here in town. It was probably $350 to fill it with hardware.(25 of each size) I love them so far. Gotta love a good bolt bin! I got stainless, grade 5, and grade 8 metric and standard. Hope this helps, and Thanks for watching!
Real awesome you can count on your son to help you out.
I feel very blessed to have good boys that want to learn. I enjoy spending time with them in the shop. Thanks for watching!
