Yes Mrs Wranglerstar and I are looking foreword to attending.
I have a friend that has a scrap metal business in Northern California. He was having to replace the gate hinges every few years because of the weight of the gate and the cheap store bought hinges. He also had a wheel on the other end away from the hinges to take some of the load off the hinges to make them last longer. One day he said there must be a better way. He took a model T Ford front axle and cut it in half and drilled two holes the size of the Ford spindle in the 6 inch diameter steel post the hinges were fastened to and slid the spindles thru the post and put on the spindle nuts. He then bolted the i-beam parts to the gate which has a heavy wood frame with tin sheets nailed to it. A little grease a couple time a year and no problems for over 10 years. The gate has a span of 16 feet and weighs appox 300 pounds.
Yes I agree. It's fun to see what people come up with.
You can get the parts at any professional irrigation supply store. The heads are Tora 1 GPM pressure regulated. The line can be purchased at Home Depot for twice the price of the irrigation stores.
I've been watching a lot of your stuff and you never stop to amaze me at all the abilities you have. Your knowledge is very broad from gardening to preserving to doing stuff like this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I flirted with the idea of having this type of lifestyle after i got out of the military. The plan was to be a long road trucker after separating. I would have been able to just live in the truck cab, saving everything I made. I know truckers don't make a ton of money, but not having to pay rent, utilities, car payment, ect made it an appealing option. Then after 5 or so years, I'd buy a ranch with cash and try to do something similar to what Wranglerstar does. Instead I went to school on the GI Bill and now I work in a cubicle. I make good money but sometimes I wish I had gone the other route. Working outdoors and having that kind of purpose in life would be nice.
I like the way you work and think. There's always a method to your madness. You would be a great guy to work with on any job. I always enjoy and learn from your video's thanks
Great job ! I really liked the tubing tips for putting your gate back together you sure saved a lot of money
I'll try to get to it today.
Seen your Video and made adjustment on a gate after watching your video. Worked really well. Didn't have a welder so I used self driving metal to medal under the bottom of the tube where you won't tear your skin off by grabbing it and pulling it. Works Great. Thanks for the video and I subscribed..
I'm building a removable wire strand to bridge the gap. Like an electric fence crossing. If I need to drive a tall vehicle underneath I can simply remove it.
This is the type of video I'd like to see the channel get back to!
Thank you.
Yes I can see your point. I do think a cordless drill / impact is indispensable. I sometimes put my Honda 2000EU on my quad and use my corded tools on remote projects.
Honest and friendly advice. Saw your plasma cut, and my strong recommendation would to be use lower amperage to maintain a thinner kerf. At least this is what I have found when cutting on my own thin gauge metal. :)
yes very good idea
Thank you for this video...just watching you use the hole in the end of an adjustable wrench to screw in the lag screw hinges was worth it! That little tip saved me from much frustration! :)
Move the post? Dig out two posts set in concrete, rebuild corner, posts, braces, mix new concrete, dig holes, Undo wire and re stretch, secure wire to corner, re wrap upper wire and stretch or 1 hour to shorten gate. Are you sure about that?
Way to go US Tape! I'll be looking to score one of your tapes soon! I've wanted one of the Spencer logging tapes for a long time!
Hanging a gate is a two person job, but I too have done many alone. Also, I am quite satisified with my Ryobi lithium tool set. Batteries last long and plenty of power. I use them all the time all over the farm.
Cody, you passed 30k subs, have quite a fan base, congrats.
Yes exactly.
Thank you. I didn't realize this.
It's hard to decide the best for a homestead. I'm leaning toward the traditional farm tracker in 4x4. It must have a quick attach front bucket with forks.
I Really enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Cody, it has been far too long since I visited your channel - my apologies. Nice project - and I agree with you about the power tools. I can see your point for those two drills, but I have abandoned all battery powered tools. Of course, my property allows for that, I am close enough to a socket to run a 100' extension if needed. Thanks for sharing.
YOUR HOMESTEAD IS REALLY LOOKING NICE LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK
Move the post? Dig out two posts set in concrete, rebuild corner, posts, braces, mix new concrete, dig holes, Undo wire and re stretch, secure wire to corner, re wrap upper wire and stretch or 1 hour to shorten gate. So my answer would be no.
Well done. I could not agree more on your battery vs. non-battery tools.
I am sure your aware of this method as well you can take a diffrent peice of tube or solid round stockthat will fit inside the other tube and tac weld it in place and it makes doing the butt end welding less of a hassle its strong and looks almost factory if done right.That being said I like the way you did the tube on the out side to reenforce it and make a strong union. Thank you for all the great info you give us.
My first thought was to insert old lengths of pipe inside the tubing and then weld those, but your solution was even more thrifty. I will definitely remember this approach, Thanks :)
I love watching your videos, keep up the good work.
I've had good luck with the Dewalt 20V series of tools. Those are the best tools I've ever owned. The gate looks great.
A stick is much cheaper and very versatile however not as user friendly. I started with a stick welder and still use mine on heavy jobs.
I've always liked the Penn fishing reel credo. "Make it simple, make it work"
my dad has used battery powered tools since he became a eletrican 30 years ago. he uses impact drivers drills and sawsaws just about everyday and never has a problem with them
thanks so much for sharing your video its so neat to see how with a little thinking you can repair things
I'm not sure the cost. The loggers tape can be had for around $30 so I don't suppose it would be much over $40
I miss these videos
No problem what we had here was a failure to communicate. I should have mentioned the fence was existing.
I have never head of this. Tell me more?
quality tools make life so much easier
I like these kinds of videos.
The fence was here when we purchased,
Cordless tools are absolutely needed for farming and ranch. Quality cordless tools last a long time. I have used a cordless sawzall and circular saw for over 20 years. If you buy the cheap ones at the big box store it is true - they will not last long. But the better tools come with long warranties. But if you are on a farm or ranch you do not want to carry a generator, extension cords all over creation to fix stuff.
I was wondering if you were really going to butt weld the gate, then you made the collars.
I wouldn't have thought of that. Nice !
God Bless,
alan
nice work but put the bottom hinge pin up and the top pin down. Then that pesky cow can't stick her head under the gate and lift it up. You are correct about tools. The stuff mostly available now use it till it breaks then throw it in the scrap bin.
Great vid. I don't weld so can use this method with heavy riveting. Good Job.
That was pretty neat!
I hate to sound like one of those "you-didn't-do-it-right" commenters, but here is a suggestion for the next gate you have to shorten. Make two cuts, and shorten both ends. Then it's symmetrical.
Of course, it's twice as much work, and you have twice as many places on it that show you messed with it.
I would've done it just the way you did. Sometimes "good enough" is "good enough". The work is still clean, so it looks good.
I think for most of us we need a machine that can weld up to 1/4" think steel. This being a wire feed or mig welder. I keep a Lincoln stick welder for heavy steel jobs. I would buy only Lincoln or Esab brands. If you need something on the cheap you could consider Hobart.
good job on that gate. good video. cant wait to see you finish that bee hive box still waiting. lol have a good one
The gate is on a slope. As soon as it opens the wheel will be off the ground.
When mounting the gate make sure that the hinge pins face each other so that the dis-honest person can't just lift off your gate and come through.I really couldn't tell from the video if you did this or not.Thanks for all the great videos....
Thank you very much. If you can, I sure could use some ideas on straightening bent or crimped tube gate rails while still on the hinges.
Yes thank you. The homestead is so big that it's a lifetime of work.
I'm not finished with the opening. I'll stretch removable wire strands across the top. We will be able to walk under them or remove them to drive the tractor in.
I was thinking about this for a spell what do you think about cutting down another gate like you did here and mounting it above this gate with maybe a slight gap in between them depending on how you want to do it this would create kind of a split door where you could walk under the one gate but reach up and open it if you need to drive a truck or piece of equipment in to the orchard.
Wranglerstar wish u would do more of these videos
Thanks for videos. I just subscribed last week. It was a short video on basic hand tools , your tool picks were the same as mine.(so i knew you had to be smart lol) I have this small toolbox in each car and in the house. Great gate project, I just finished 1/3 mile run of a 5 line barbed wire. 6 corners and 1 gate (the hard work is the corner). Welders.....I need to upgrade someday any ideals , using single phase 220v and a plasma cutter. Thanks from East TN
If I have 2 10' tube gates that I would like to use for a swing open from the middle style gate, how far apart would my posts need to be, edge to edge? I'm not sure how much to allow for center space, and hinge/hinge bolts on both sides.
Can't wait to see you guys in june at the mother earth news fair!
I looking to start welding and would like to be able to build stuff and repair tractors small farm equipment and such...what welder should I buy first I saw you using a mig but would a stick be better for me?
I just found your channel a few weeks ago and love it but forgive me if this has been covered someplace else. I've built lots of fence and it always amazes me the many ways people come up with for gate fasteners. Can you show some details on how you made yours and how it works. Thanks again.
Nicely done! In order to make the gate level do you just rotate one of the hinges in or out?
So clean it down to bare metal. If it is hot dipped galvanized you can dip it in hydrochloride acid until it stops bubbling and it is clean to weld.
Continued...
If you have problems with burn through it helps to make your "saddle" but instead of making an ugly thingy outside crimp it and stuff it on the inside and then weld the gap shut. The inside sleeve will act as a heat sink to prevent burn through also.
Thanks for the vid. I just planted 23 fruit trees in my yard (2/3 acre)!
Good old Tarter gate made in Casey County Kentucky. And using the old thumb cheat.
Growing up on a farm and building miles and miles of fence myself I notice you put the hinge bolts on the wrong side, You will have a sagging gate because you do not have a Backup to offset the weight of the gate. Just turn it around and make your hinge post the Strike post and you will have a straight line to back up the weight of the hanging gate. Just thinking out loud. Good idea using the scrap tubing for collars though. Looks good.
No I have never used a Tig only Mig and stick.
WS, what ido you recommend for a welder type, size..Thanks for all the good info..
great DIY, but are you going to make the gate any taller to match the fence. to me having a lower gate then the fence just puts a 12ft hole in the fence system, or could I be wrong?
Any particular reason you chose a plasma cutter over a gas torch? The torch is portable on the ranch and can also do heating and welding jobs that the plasma can not do.
Thanks Brother,,,,,stay prepared.!!
Also, might be a good idea to have the chain end of the gate resting on a brick or block of wood when gate is closed so there is not 24/7 strain on the hinges. They will sag over time.
Nice Vid Cody as per usual, have you ever made a wooden gate ? Or do you think it would be too labour intensive. Thanks
super smart, making these collars out of the scrap taken out of this gate! 🧠
Yes this is the problem.
I think for most guys Mig is best. Tig is very expensive and a bit to specialized for me.
You can have what I call semi-cordless tools. When you buy a cordless tool always buy 12 volts. When the battery dies throw it away and don’t buy a new one (sometimes it’s more expensive than the tool). Connect the tool to an old car battery (frim a junkyard) with 3 meters wires and now you have a semi-cordless tool. You have wires but you don’t need grid. Charge the car battery every once in a while.
Instead of doing an exterior sleeve like you did, you may thing about doing the same thing but on the inside of the tube. You probably only need an inch or two of the "waste" tubing. Just take the piece and slice it lengthwise (just like you did). Make sure you take enough out to compress it and insert it in the inside of the tubes. Put your end piece on. Leave about 1/8 gap between the two tube ends. This way you only have half the joints to weld and it will be plenty strong.
I have had my dewalt set for over 8 years and still have not had a battery go bad! mine get used rather frequently as well. I have only replaced the drill as of yet (which i am kinda glad, because i got the smaller one).
There's millions of these gates, but every one of them has a different idea going on with the chain and latch. Always interesting how people do it. How do you plan to build the gate up taller like the fence? Thanks for sharing.
i have used Bosh 24 volt tools for years the best on the market,,and the batteries are worth buying.the tools last a long time well worth the money.. i can take my tools all over my ranch and always have plenty of power.for all the new people NEVER buy cheap tools
Looks Good
What brand of plasma cutter and welder do you have?
Another idea is to put the tubing on the inside, wild the butt weld and grind smooth. This leaves less areas for water to penetrate and rust. Also when painted you wont know it has been shortened and welded.
Yes you sure could.
Great video. I need to get myself a welder. It would make it so much easier to make/repair so much more stuff.
In a earlier orchard video I thought you mentioned needing to have high fences to keep the deer out...? It looks as though that gate isn't as high as the rest of the fence, will that be a problem?
On a different subject, I received my Wranglerstar t shirt in the mail today!
I've done that already. But I love your vids
Are you suggesting your drag a 40 lb car battery around with your? Yes it will work but not very practical
Not that you needed it but a useful weld for joining thin material is a plug weld. Drill a hole in your sleeve before you assemble then fill in the hole with a weld.
man i really like that tape measure
i like to drill a hole in the outside sleeve for plug weld idk but i think it helps good project tho Cody keep it up
I have been looking at getting a welder for exactly the type of jobs that you did there. What do you use. Is it enough. I hate arc welding, Love TIG.
Tank you for these always inspirational to the point videos!! Take care
I have a lot of corded and cordless tools but i like to be sure, as you do, to have the handtools to accomplish these jobs without power....
Cody, I have a list of projects around the house that need doing, would you be willing to come by and give me a hand? Just kidding, I do have a serious question though. I know that you have the entire orchard area surrounded by an 8' fence and wire, but what keeps the deer from jumping over the gate to get in? Just wondering, thanks and God Bless!
for example if the circumference of the pipe is 2” weld a ½” on the front face of each pipe on the gate then again on the reverse side welding first at 3 then 9 an then at 12 and lastly at 6, prep then paint, make sure there are weep holes on the bottom of the gate for positive pressure release.
Paint the gate, or at least the welds!
Hey Cody, I want to know what you think about Johnny Apple Seed trees. Would you plant apple seeds?
