The wisdom of “good enough for the purpose and the economics” is excellent,. I watch several welder channels, and I’m not taking anything away from the other guys, but I think you’re the only one who takes into account what the customer is wiling to pay for the amount of work you have to put in, and explains it reasonably.
👍
Hey I’m really diggin’ the voiceover style. Works well for you also I’d bet.
Getting positive comments about it so I'll keep doing it
You did a great job and inspire me to finally start my own small welding business. Won’t be at the level you’re at for a long time though! You make it look easy.
Keep at it, you'll get there!
@ I will, Thank you!
You remind me of my grand father he took pride !! In what ever he built you are no different it stands out and so does your shop and Eqipment
Thanks for the compliment....appreciate your watching and commenting
100k fence right there wow haha glad he thinking of the safety aspect tho should be more than strong enough to stop a 20mph car or side by side. great job !
Thank you 😊
I came of age in the
construction industry starting at 18 and worked in that for 20 years before getting into manufacturing. I know what you're talking about as far as customers go and what they need from you. I got into welding after taking a course in community college and buying myself a tig/stick machine. Spend my time after work practicing. Also I bought the arccaptain mig 200. Hasn't shipped yet on account of the holiday but I'm expecting it by January 10th. Your videos started popping up when I was doing research on it. Liked your content so I subscribed. Thanks for all the tips and good info CB. Nice work on that fence!
Appreciate ya subscribing, thanks for the kind words!
Great stuff as usual
Appreciate that
Nice work and great information
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome jig
Thanks
great tip with the trailer hitch and welding rod.
Thank you...appreciate your support
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
One of your best videos, so much covered; rep with the template, layout for the contour, three levels of wire feed machines in a non-ideal condition, two engine drives, torch, plasma cutter and finally two air compressors. Good business sense as well, saving the cleanup for a young cat getting started in life. None of us are above cleaning toilets but it will cost you an engineer's salary heh.
Thanks Corey!...I appreciate your support and also your time in offering words about the video.
I may have included alot in this one kinda by accident as I worked through the thoughts of the job but since you mentioned how many different things I utilized I realize that covering different things in videos is important to include...something I could try to do even more when possible.
Thanks once again!
Just a big HAPPY NEW YEAR from France... god bless ya.
Same to you!
CB - this is an excellent video showing off multiple skills, one of your best productions! Passing on the wisdom of success in optimizing for less time, lower costs and simplicity. Template for the post hole cuts. Track-saw style torch on a powered slide. Power cord 120/240 on same plug. Strongest pipe fence style without spending too much labor on trying to make it pretty. Benefits of commercial-class welding equipment versus DIY-value models. Mud board. Generator capabilities. Flux core in the field (instead of stick). Wire size. Lots of topics! Several cut scenes. Lots of different views. Interesting puzzle, walked the job site. Love it! Keep up the good work! Much appreciated!
PS - Merry Christmas to NBS, West Virginia and all those who watch your videos!
Thank you and Merry Christmas
@@NBSWELDING Merry CHRISTmas
That's a good stout fence. Super impressed with how well the Arc Captain products are holding up for you. Thanks for taking us along.
👍
Really enjoy watching your content. I'm also a fellow hillbilly (West Virginian). Keep it up! Subscribed! :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Hahaha. The arc captains in the mud but the Lincoln on a pallet. You can really tell which one is a lot of money Great video as always
😁
Love the WV weather this time of year. Great brain works to do a fantastic job!!! Stay Safe.
😁
Great information brother glad i found your channel
Welcome!!!...thanks for watching and commenting 😉.....hang in here with me we'll get some doozinz done 👍
Always learn a lot from watching your videos. Thank you, I know your busy... would love to see you talk about the set up to run two air compressors for running the plasma.
I'll make note of that for a future video...thanks
Good advice on project cost. Keeping the customer happy is #1, not always looks
Very true!
Clayton watching you drag the mig gun and cables thru the mud and snow makes me glad i live in south florida and it was 58 degrees here . Thank you for the extra work you put in to make the videos.
Right on
Just stumbled onto this channel and by the end of the video I had to subscribe. Great content and explanation of what and why you do things.
Common sense is so hard to find anymore.
Thanks for the kind words!
Absolutely fantastic video for me, C.B. I love seeing all that equipment being used. This reinforces my thoughts on a lot of what you covered. I'm gad to hear a welder of your experience give his opinion on field welding. Thanks so much C.B.
Right on
@NBSWELDING Merry Christmas to you and your family C.B.!
I love how you talk CB, like Laying the Smoke to Her! I like how thorough you are in your workmanship. I also like how you explain the obstacles you’re up against and how you push through to the other side!
That's what it's all about!
Dam that fence looks nice. Great work
Thanks 👍
Oh yeah….super nice jig you put together. Had to be a great time saver!
Sure worked out good
I put a lot of that pipe fence in around my farm 25 years ago with a old Lincoln SA200 pipeliner welder and I did like you and just welded it up, no time for doin all those tricks just get to weldin, great job buddy I really enjoyed watching you build that fence, you got me thinking maybe I better go out to the pipe pile and start cutting posts and rails and build some more fence.
You got it! Just put your hood down and weld it.
Boy that brings some memories , of when I worked in the oilfield . boy that was back in 1992. enjoyed the video. wow just brings a lot of memories from along time ago. Liked that jig you made for cutting the pipes. we used the torch for all the fences we had to repair out in south Texas. that Plazma did the trick. we never repaired that much, to justify the cost of a Plazma.
Thanks for watching and commenting...good to hear from ya
That home made pin was genius with 7018
👍
Awesome
Thanks
As always, good advice!
Thanks again!
I keep learning. Thanks for the videos.
Great to hear...thanks for commenting
The gig is absolutely a brilliant idea. 👍
Thanks...hope you can use that idea on something you do 👍
Sometimes with welding less is more one pass is more than enough for that job. That was a lot of joints to be welded there bud anyway great job. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for your time once again merry Christmas. Cheers from Nova Scotia.
Thx...Merry Christmas
nice job on the rails!! like the old Ford
Thanks
Learned a lot!! Great video. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad to hear it!
Yellow/Green here in the UK is Earth (ground)
Brown is live (Hot)
Blue is Neutral.
Right on...thx
single phase welders in the usa generally have no ground wire. a 220 V single phase will have hot, hot and neutral.
Hi as previously said the wiring is UK spec,very sturdy fences as usual very informative 😂 nothing worse when you're pulling you're trigger and nothing comes out 😂 not had that problem yet? Well hope you and you're respectful family have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year regards from Scotland 🤶🎅🏴🇬🇧🎥🛠️ 45:22

Nice job and I learned a few tricks.
Great 👍
Hope you're doing ok and busy with work. Happy new year!
Been busy...good to hear from ya.
Happy New Year and thanks again for all your support
Great to hear brother! Rock on!
another good video thanks CB
Thanks for watching 👍
Another thumbs up quality video. Spot on with economics of welding for your customer. Welding since '76, the last 18 years welding in the field for a recycling equipment repair shop. Can't show up in a customers yard to repair compactor containers and weld pretty. Heat it up, pull and beat it into place and weld it up. Just has to hold. Move on to the next repair. There is a time and place for pretty, a trash compactor container ain't it. By the way love your mud board. Wishing you and your loved ones a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Joyous New Year.
Right on...slippery sled is the best mud board ever...I've tried everything
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
That’s a 😎👍 video as always Thanks for showing how to build a clip 😎👍
Appreciate you watching 👍
Nice testing gronds 👍
👍
Thanks a bunch for the content. Merry Christmas 🌲
Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you too!
Great video CB!!
Thanks 👍
That’s one hell of a fence , CB
Nice work and have a good Christmas
Appreciate the compliment...Merry Christmas to you as well!
Thats on any trade. Welding, carpenter, masonry we look at each other job. Yep he did good.
👍
👍🏻🛠️👨🏻🏭👌🏻⚡🔌🔋
Happy Holidays to you and the family!⛄❄️☃️🎁🎄
Happy holidays!
Im so thankful i don't have to deal with the snow working outside here in Alabama great video
Yea the weather is a challenge....thanks for watching and commenting 👍
I got the new 205 pro and I paired it with a tweco spray master 250 and no more mig gun getting to hot but I did give more for the mig gun than the welder but I love how it run
@Cashwelding good info...thanks for your comment 👍
Way to get things done CB! This appeared to be a big job.👍🏼
👍
I like your comment, “ If you work with what you got, then you’ll always have what you need. “
Right 👍
I like that you are using plasma and FCAW to do your project! Seems much more efficient!
👍
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
it's always a pleasure to watch a professional make the best with the tools he got....
👍
👍👍👍

CB what good looking fence it will stop anything from falling thought, Great Job!!!
Right on...glad you like it.
About a year ago I came across your review of the Mig200 and ended up purchasing one along with a Cut50. Also ended up buying an acetylene torch setup because my 7000 watt generator couldn't handle the plasma cutter. At the time I was a novice welder with very little experience. Since then I've learned quite a bit watching your channel and over the summer built over 500 feet of fence very similar to the one on this video that turned out awesome. Ran into the same issues with magnetized pipe but learned how to power though it. Very much appreciate what you bring to help people learn more about welding.
Thank you
Appreciate your watching and commenting 👍
Great video as always💪🏼
Glad you liked it!!
Awesome video, Learned a lot on such a simple welding job. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thanks
Fabulous real life rig welding demonstration C.B.! I think it’s safe to say, “Lincoln for the WIN “! Way to get it done dirty. Merry Christmas! Also, you make a valid point about welding and working to the appropriate level for the job at hand. I have always had trouble with going overboard for what a particular job requires. Have gotten a little better with age and experience. What’s frustrating is when it really does matter like say, a hitch on a bigger truck, and the customer wants you to cut corners because he’s too cheap to spend the money necessary to do it right. I won’t send anything out that I wouldn’t feel safe using myself.
You really gotta watch it with stuff that goes on the road...I quit welding on truck frames for that reason...it's hard to get people to pay ya to fix a frame correctly and they don't understand that you'll be held liable if there's an accident...it's a shame ya gotta turn some jobs down but it's not worth the risk unless it's a big truck that belongs to a profitable company that is willing to pay whatever it costs to put it back in good order.
@ Absolutely!
I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.
You bet!
Looks good cb 👌🏼👌🏼🤘🏼
Thanks 👍
Looks good nice setup big Lincoln diesel and wire feeder on the old dually
Got the skid rig on the old dually now with the 2nd Trailblazer on it...I'll probably show that in another video.
fence looks great... nice work. your jig is working awesome.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Great job CB
Thanks
Great job working in the cold and snow. Don't miss that. Also like the trailer pin trick.
As always, picked up a lot of good tips in this video.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Merry Christmas!
And is that a boogie board? Brilliant!
I just tossed a couple from the kids that had been sitting around for years, but I'm moving the remainder out to my shop today, for when I replace some hub seals.
My old bones thank you.
👍
The boogie board is the best mud board you can get...I've tried everything and the boogie board is the best...I just bought two more on Amazon
Nice real world advice. Keep laying the smoke to it. Thanks for sharing
You bet

Love you C.B. Merry Christmas brother
Thanks man, Merry Christmas to you too!
Never had to do it but they say to wrap your ground wire around the pipe 4 or 5 times and it should demagnitize it
Not worth bothering with all that wrapping...I just put my hood down and weld it
@@NBSWELDINGi do allot of feedlot and pipe fence, I just turn it up and long arc a bit and go for it.
@@NBSWELDING I did a pipe grill a while back and just used branch cutouts for the end caps. I had a good 3/4 inch gaps to fill. Turned out good but was a pain. Next time I need to take the time to layout bull plugs.
Have you done a review on the arc captain plasma? If you have I'll look for the video, if not i would be interested at least for just the info and pros cons about it.
👍
Another great video!
👍
😎.
😃
Arc captain turning out to be a tough machine
Your right about that
That’s a great fence. Have a Merry Christmas.
Thanks, you too!
That's not a fence... thats a security perimeter and it's awesome.
Thank you
Being lazy, but also having worked my butt off all my life, I worked out a "lazy" technique for jobs like this. I set my iron-worker up so that it would crush the ends of the laterals flat, fast & repeatable. We would then measure & number every single section, just for true length + a tad between posts. The laterals got cut to length & numbered also, then crushed flat using the ironworker. The "hack" was we'd leave each lateral just a shade long to allow for variables in how upright the posts were. Cutting one or both flats down to length was just 1 cut across the flat with a grinder for precise fit. Easy. That cut also served as "prep" on the flats.
That left on-site prep at a minimum - grind 6 spots on each upright shiny, cut the flats so the laterals fitted tight. That also left every weld the exact same & easy - a vertical up stringer on each side of the laterals "flat" using stick. Upshot was about half the work of pipe-fitting the joins & we could bang out the meters real fast. Plus it was strong as anything.
Just my 2c, CB.
I bought a Hilti laser distance measurer just for this task btw - I'd walk along pinging each post to post gap, with a helper writing the dimensions down. We'd number each section using a tippex correction pen so we didn't lose track. Took a fair bit of organisation, but we were doing a lot of it, so creating a system made sense & it worked.
Thanks for watching and commenting
One thing about it , your right only another welder is gonna look at the welded bead. The financial aspect of the project is very important and I believe you achieved that to the max. Without the gig and flux welding that jobs probably would have taken four time more time than what your method took. Around my part of the world a lot of people are going to a fiberglass type of pipe with holes cut through them for a three strand run and using galvanized wire. It’s good for livestock but I don’t think it would work for much else. Good info thank you
Appreciate your thoughts on it....thanks for watching and commenting
Merry Christmas Cb and miss Cb✌
Merry Christmas to you too! 😉
Well you proved the arccaptain welder and plasma cutter were working fine 😅
Sure did
Great Video Sir!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Looks good
👍
awesome job again! merry christmas from finland
Thanks! You too!
Merry Christmas 🎅
Merry Christmas
Only way I’ve found to demagnetize pipe is to flip your machine to AC and make a little weld then when you flip it back over to DC it welds fine. Course that only applies if you’re stick welding but figured I’d mention it since you had your tb302 there anyways
Not worth all that flippin...I just put my hood down and weld it
@ whatever works for ya I guess. But flipping one switch ain’t so bad…depends on how critical the weld is I guess
I'm welding 40 to 60 of these connections in a day...sometimes as far as 80 feet from the machine...I'd be walking back and fourth more than welding
@@NBSWELDINGone weld on AC will knock the magnetism out of the whole string
Another great video CB
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Yellow green is used in continental Europe for ground, blue for neutral and black or brown for live.
Ya'll taught me something there...I didn't know that was standard colors there
Good looking fence CB
👍
Great video CB. That’s one expensive fence.
👍
👍👍 nice job
Thanks 👍
Is that a 1400 Winchester?
I bought my 1300xtr 40 years ago and will be buried with it, no plug & stuffed with bird shot. There has to be quail in heaven, right?
Respect from West Texas!
You got it...I bought that 1400 used at a gun show in 1995...it's got a Miller Light 12 pack box that's rolled up and wrapped around the shell sleeve because it used to rattle when I'd walk with it...I've been taking it apart fir cleaning and then putting that same beer box right back in it's place for almost 30 years.
I don't miss with that 1400...it don't matter if you gallop, run, or fly...if I draw a bead on ya with that thing your dead
Hope the rattle fix holds,, I hear they don't make beer boxes like they used to.
🤣
Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas!
Same colours are standard in the UK mate. Brown is Live, Blue is Neutral and Yellow/Green is Earth (ground)
I learned from your comment...thank you
@@NBSWELDING thanks mate. We still come an across Red, Black and sleeved copper for domestics in older properties. 👍🏻
👍
My friends always aid to wrap the ground lead around the pipe to help break the magnetism, but I don't know.
I just put my hood down and weld it...never seen anything else worth doing on it
Letting all the machines come out and play... Very interested in the LN-25. Was just given one. No manual with it, never used one before and not much on the interwebs on the actual hook'n up and settings. I'll keep dig'n and figger it out eventually, its only electricity... Gonna make a nice addition to the arsenal hooked up to the new Lincoln Ranger 330MPX. Nice job on the pipe fence. Especially for the conditions you were working in. We dont get that white stuff here in coastal South Georgia.
Congrats on the LN-25...Let us know how it goes
You don't want somebody to duck off in that pond it makes good sense
👍
