Fixing Bad Welding Repairs on a Bent Gate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This gate has seen better days and worse welders along the way! Now it’s up to me to correct the shoddy repair work left by another welding outfit.
Here’s some tools I used
Temco Toe Jack - amzn.to/41vysFN
Bocomal Welding Jacket - amzn.to/3L6M7hu
Black Stallion welding gloves- www.amazon.com...
3m welding respirator- amzn.to/3L28jsO
That's a great repair job with the inner pipe too. For any new welders you should know galvanized metal is toxic when welding so weld it outside, not in your garage without good ventilation.
💯 the respirator is essential
I was an electrician/welder. My foremen were always electricians, but rarely did they have welding experience. One job my foreman came and took the fan out of our prep shop while we were away getting materials. We were making pipe racks to hang from the ceilings from galvanized angle iron. My foreman had taken the fan because he thought I was just using it to keep cool. He tried to fire me because I refused to weld galvanized metal without a fan or respirator. The superintendent came walking through with the rep from the plant we were working in about the same time as I was telling the foreman to go fuck himself in front of his fan. After a heated discussion, the plant rep told the super he didn’t want that foreman on that job because he was dangerous. We recovered our fan and went back to work, that foreman went back to the hall to find another job.
@@dangroce82 All of that could have been avoided if the foreman just asked what you are using the fan for. Sometimes the people in charge are morons. It is so easy to just ask!
@Andy F actually, it couldn't have been avoided because that foreman was an ass. We explained why we needed the fan and he just kept saying we just wanted to keep cool. He needed to go.
@@dangroce82 even if alls you guys wanted it for was to keep cool; wtf is the problem. A comfortable employee will get better, and more work done. A fan is a very low cost item to accomplish that.
a proper repair good sir!
Thank you kindly
2k for that? I'm in Cali and that price is.... Well pretty pricey. Don't get me wrong, great work but 2 k?
The outro was priceless 😂 lol
Anthony you're the man, good shit! I always learn something when I watch your channel. How to get it done in the field no matter the circumstances!
Thanks brother!
I make $3,000 in 1.5 hrs 😉 with only a flat blade screw driver, a pick, 10mm, 13 mm socket and air compressor.
What work do you do?
@FishFind3000 I repair or rebuild Automatic transmission. It's a tedious job but worth it. Especially with these new high geared vehicles out, the 6 and 10 speeds auto transmission.
Love the video Anthony you have taught me plenty of tips and tricks to succeed running my mobile welding business I appreciate the knowledge you have spread
Glad to hear it
Hey Anthony new welder here , first that was great fix i would have never thought of that.
Second Galvanized fencing ive been told welds just like regular steel just throws off nasty fumes. What is you take on it welding it ? just found you last week already caught up to this video.
Thanks
I weld some a few videos back, just wear a respirator with appropriate filters, and grind the coating off before welding
At $2000 for 6 hours seems high, can you elaborate on how you came to that number? I’m not knocking you for it, if anything more power to you.
Well a little grease and a broom would go a long way to help that gate in the future. You do good work my friend.
Over $300 a hour to repair a gate fuck I'd of built a new gate and still had good profit
U charged him 2000 bro?👍🏻
2000$ for that? Last time they're calling you haha
funny how much montana looks like florida!
First
How do you prevent the tubing from rusting since the galvanized has been ground off for welding?
Just some cold galvanizing paint
I think i comment every time about your sign off at the end but dude it makes me laugh. Another great video, keep them comin boss
Thanks, will do!
I’m in school for welding have got any hands on experience yet but i learn so much from your videos
Also drink milk after...gets rid of the sick feeling
Na got the respirator
As someone that does this all the time. You did a great job. Best part for you it was a v track gate instead of a full cantilever gate because then you have to grind all your welds completely smooth for the rollers.
Hate those v rollers. Great job well done. I like those trolley systems that bolt on the gate, and it hangs from a track instead of sitting on it so it stays cleaner.
I need to move to the USA if you can charge $2,000 for gate repairs. I would be lucky to get $400 (£300) for that repair here in the UK.
Looks like galv scaffold pipe, nasty stuff to weld up. Have made a lot of farm gates out of stuff. Ranging from 2ft wide to 16ft wide. It's have too.
Great repair young man!
Don't be a hack. Clean that track. The gate will roll better. It's little things like that improve your overall reputation. Only hacks and losers keep saying "It's not my job".
I really come here for the endings. I need that daily go @#$% yourself😅😂 Great work bud. Keep the videos coming!
RUclips just sensored me 🤷
I remember doing a similar repair on my old steel framed dirtbike. Nice piece of steel inside to bring back the strength and get the subframe from snapping off again! Clean work brother
I made $20,000 in 3 seconds with a ski mask
🤣🤣
Nice job, once again a good video on everyday mobile welding. Keep up the hustle.
Galv is fucked. If you dont prep it, the spray is insane and you have to crank the shit to the moon to get it to burn through the zinc. I enjoy it, though, because you have to go really fast so it doesnt blow a hole.
I can't do it better! Good Job! Greetz from switzerland
fucking love the vids. not really applicable to my line of work but the problem solving is top notch. keep doing things man!
Love it I am tacking tips and learn ing on the way my price in California is $1.500 in California la love your videos forever
Love your channel. Basic explanation of everything you do. Great job
Still haven't bought your self a porta band yet, your really missing out..
That was a Damn good fix dude. Would love to see the update with the wheels. . I was in the welding supply business for 25 years and love everything about welding. Peace ✌
For just a fence I don't think you could of done a better job. You're a metal and welding artist. Great job keep the videos coming I watch them all.
Your videos make me wanna get outta the shop life . Great content man I know you don’t give a shit but nice videos 😂
Muy bueno el video y mis respetos por tu sinceridad hace falta mas gente asi😂
Unless I missed it, what's keeping the smaller pipes inside from sliding around inside the larger pipe?
Haha yeah you don’t want to slow them down from coming in there to get their SHIT 😂🤑
I keep a 4 gallon weed sprayer full of water on my truck for little grass spot fires like that its very handy can also use it for washing hands
Nice repair 👍
Thanks 👍
That was a great repair!! I learn a lot from you always!! Thabks for sharing!!
Doing the job is no problem,i never found anyone willing to pay any real money!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great a better microphone.it’s difficult to hear you
And thats why my guys we pay fire watch lol we have are job lol😂
Better you than me, but yuh made chicken soup out of chicken chit. ;)
Anthony thank you for helping me progress in my welding skills. Your vid’s are to the point and make me laugh while learning. Glad I stumbled upon your channel about a year ago.
Glad to help
Sch. 40 heavy😂😂 try fitting Sch. 80 8” pipe😂
I’m definitely making a toe jack, damn have I needed one of those.
Good work. More love and care than it’s had in w long time.
Using every bit of that cutting wheel. 😂 # i as well
Fair play man good initiative good work funny F er 🤣
nice to see you using safety gear, pity about the grinder, no guard tut tut
Anthony, you know we always like you. Cheers.
Thanks brother!
That was one of the better videos I’ve seen here. Pretty ingenious method of repair. Sometimes those pigs don’t want to hold still for the lipstick. LOL
Good job! Thanks for the good content and ideas.
Lol sometimes they are fussy
I did a an almost exact same thing to shorten a (free to me) cattle gate.. Worked great.. I need to start bidding for paying jobs..:)
I like all the swearing! Real deal shit! Great work man!
I never liked the track style gate support like that
Why do you use corded tools instead of battery operated?
Really nice work, cheers from Sweden
Weak construction. Needs gussets.
Great video , The struggle is real with those wheels 😂
Tell me about it
Are you back in Florida?
Ok, the ending is fuckin gold 😂 👍👌
I love how you just don't give a shit haha
Galvanized my favourite
Why cut it? Repair fit within the tubing? Wouldve given more support if they aligned inside right?
Nice job as always. I didn't notice, did you weld in the insert? like plug weld it or something? Those wheels on these gates are always screwed up. I live in Northwestern Canada and the snow, the salt and freeze and thaw cycles kill those wheels (even the ones with bearings) pretty quick. There's a local company that makes them with good seals and boots that cover the hub to keep crap out but they want a fortune for them.
You give me a good laugh with that outro. Awesome
Yoo are you related to @dudedad
Y’all could be twins
And if you aren’t you probaby are I would check into it
Train derailment....too soon 😂
Dope shit homie. 🤘🏾✊🏾
Love your detailed work! You do your repairs much like I would. Don't appreciate the profanity but I know many welders don't seem to work without it!
where did you get your face shield while using the cutting wheel? got a link? i like that design. awesome video man
amzn.to/3UZr3N4
Going to F myself 😅
Anthony keep up the great videos man it's good to see how you show the step-by-step Saint how you do the stuff. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🤘🤘🤘🤘
Gotta get a chain jack man. I work in marine construction as a welder on a piledriving crew and chain jacks are one of the best tools we use. Makes those ratchet straps look like a child’s toy😂. Great video brotha you got a sun from me
It might be helpful to get a water extinguisher you can fill it with a bike pump or compressor and water it's designed for class A use.
Dude that's a perfect job don't get all jumpy maybe you should keep a couple 4in v track wheels on your truck like I do they comes in handy sometimes
Good job
I fucking love this guy been watching him for years🤘🏽
Yeh, ya just got to be better than the other bloke.
think about mounting a brush on the gate so it sweeps the track every time the gate opens and closes.
making it self adjust for wear will be the trick
Getting their shit
That is one of the best repairs I seen on fence I would do something like that but one of the things I do with sleeves when you put a slug in like that is I actually drill holes into the fence pipe and plug weld the internal slave so it can't spin especially on a gate but that's an awesome repair used stick I would have used flux core 211 Lincoln innershield but whatever gets the job done and I always do the whole nine keep turning and burning bud
Very nice, I learned a lot as always. My 2 cents - consider getting yourself a portaband.
Number 100 you are a great engineer good at your welding 54 years ago learn how to weld
Was told sounds like mum frying bacon in the frying pan how true the rest is HISTORY was 14yrs old then the person that showed me was in his late 60s
Nice repair! Find these videos helpful with your explanations of why certain rod/metal characteristics change how you approach a job. Look forward to the next video. Cheers
I love the outtro
That repair worked out fine it’s not a corvette
And way better than it was
Cheers from Nova Scotia
Wowww, here in India avg welder salary is ₹1000 i:e $12 per day. Life is hard sometimes.
i love the videos you put out! thank you for helping others with what you do! i see what you put for charging people. is there a good way to figure out what i should charge? i feel like im super low after seeing your videos and what you can charge haha
thanks
I just did this same thing. But I cut the bad parts out and fit a slightly larger tube over the old, because thats all I had. Worked out great.
In boilermaking it's called doing a sleeve on a rail ... Nice work
Great job!
Nice job Ant.... I always do the inner pipe unless there is no space.
Fantastic job as always. Got to love a ratchet strap to help and that toe jack is pretty cool.great video as always full respect 👍👍
Put rigid bristle sweeper brushes on an angle next to wheel to keep track clean
I always learn something from you Anthony! Thank you!
Hell yeah!
I have also used a ratchet strap to fix a bent gate on a track like that, you never know when one of those come in handy!
