One might understand the first way. Another may understand another way. The end result should be the same depending on the tolerance. I cut it three times and it was still too short
I always enjoy learning new methods of dealing with common problems in the shop. Hopefully these "10 tips in 10 minutes" is a reoccurring series on J.V. channel. I enjoy the content and well thought out delivery. Subscribed!
Thanks for the tips Justin. I know these videos take time to make/edit, so thanks for taking the time. I actually found some of them useful and will be using them.
Man, i loved this. I used to work as a blacksmith and I wish I knew these tricks then. Also, after watching this I realize I should look into sheet metal and fabrication apprenticeships. I love metal.
Great video. There's actually a very specific reason why every single tape measure has that play at the end of the tape, it is to compensate precisely 1mm where you're hooked on the a peice or when pushing against it. But I guess it can where out over a long time.
For finding blind holes, check out the blind hole strap duplicators that come in 6” and 12” varieties. They are great for a door or small panel, for larger panels check out blind hole spotters. They come in threaded and non threaded options. All of these are inexpensive and great to have in your box. We use them on aircraft metal repairs quite a bit. 👍. Great video!
liked your video have used quite a few of your tips over the years. Best center punch I found is a starter tap. Great punch that can be used indefinitely as long as you do not use it on hardened steel.
I knew a few of these but a few great tips with making blind holes! You know the end of the tape measure should move the thickness of the tap to compensate the tab being hung over a end or butted to a right angle.
Great video. Gonna have to watch this one again. Maybe several more times. The memory is the second thing to go when you get old.... can't remember what the first was..... lol
im the kind of guy who likes to make tools and re-purpose what i can. i made my center punches out of a broken air hammer bit and an old fuel pump push rod. also made a scribe from a broken chisel. they work great!
That is what it is intended for yes, however as a tape gets used that play can become too much and thus become inaccurate which is why we burn a couple inches to keep thing as accurate as possible
Its a true zero, when u measure an edge the gap opens to measure exactly from the edge and when u measure something that u can push the tape on to and then u can accurately measure from that point on
You can also use transfer screws for marking holes they are lil tiny threaded points for whatever size you need and they also come with a special install tool so you can use them on thinner material and shallow holes and they have a very short point so you can set them just above the surface 👍👍👍
Hey thanks, We need more videos like this. I liked the whole thing I knew most of this. Empire huh? I mostly use abrasives from my home state. I could give them a shot I know it is going to be tough.
Awesome man, you just helped me a problem I've been having, too bad I welded it up before I saw this video 🤣🤣 next time though!! Thanks again. I would love more tips!
No. 5 - A little more work, but get a wood ruler and accurately drill holes at every 1/2 inch. At the beginning, drill every 1/4 (or 1/8) inch. Now you can accurately make any size hole up to it's limits. One hole for the pin and the other for the marker. Works for me.
i just had to drill out the center of a circle, and had to use a co axial indictor on the mill, this wouldnt have saved me time cause i had to find the center in line ith the spindel. but when im jsut looking for a center to drill on the drill press im trying this
For a backer in place of aluminum or copper use an old cutting disc or grinding disc it works well and they're disposable no hard feelings lost if damaged or warped
The play you mention on the measuring tape is actually part of its design. The space that it can move/wiggle back and forth is exactly the width of the metal itself, thus, you can either make the measurement by pushing it against something, or pulling it on an edge. If It didn't have the wiggle room, the measurement would be off by 1/64"-1/32".
@@JustVoss in what video? because in this video, all you just say is, and I quote: "...using the 1 inch mark at the end of your tape measure, that eliminates this play that's on here and gives you a more precise measurement, sometimes this can be wore out or just not accurate" which left me thinking .... you know what I'm tired of explaining myself. I'm done. I'm going to go away and do something different. I have more important things to do than nit pick other people or try to help out others, i just get bit for doing it anyway. good luck. I never existed.
@@jeremiahkastner6374 haha i actually laughed out loud. It's all good man, I do wish I would have talked about it more than just the passing mention. I do use the normal end of the tape measure, especially on larger distances.
The first tip alone was worth the whole 10 minutes!! Thank you!!!
My thoughts exactly
Dude I just freaked out over it that’s Crazy that’s a game changer
A good center head square does it too way easier

Super job Justin!!!! Been in fab/weld for 30 years. You just taught me a few new tricks..
For once on RUclips, 10 minutes of my life I'm very glad I invested.
Thank you.
🇬🇧
Glad to hear it!
One might understand the first way. Another may understand another way. The end result should be the same depending on the tolerance. I cut it three times and it was still too short
Thanks for the video bro. Helpful content
The timer in the background is super cool editing. Also the production quality is fantastic all around.
I’m new to fabrication, these tips were gold. Thank you!
Great quality video. Just 3 mins in and my expectations are already surpassed

#2 is a game changer for me thanks! Love the vid 🤘
Thanks for the tips Justin. I know these videos take time to make/edit, so thanks for taking the time. I actually found some of them useful and will be using them.
Would love to see a video of you talking through all the discs you use and why you use them. Thanks for the great content!
Drawing the perfect circle is easy, it’s cutting it where it gets difficult. Thanks 😊
Never knew about the center of a circle one. Amazing.
Succinct video. Beautifully done.
Many thanks!
Not bad for a "committed amateur" -- I knew 7/10! But, that first tip was fire. So smart. Enjoying your channel quite a bit, keep up the good work.
Great tips Justin, thank you!

UR THE BEST IM SO GLAD I CLICKED THIS VIDEO!! I’m doing patchwork on a truck and I keep getting holes. Now I’ll be able to fill them in better
I just started Frazier Industrial as a fabricator. First time reading a blueprint on a test yesterday. I hope I do good on the job.
Really awesome tips thank you.
Thanks!

The hook is sometimes curved so there is a difference if you hook a thin sheet or a big block.
It can also be used if you mark from a smal hole on a plate or mark to mark
@@wouterwestendorp8050 Lay it flat on an anvil, and hit it with a hammer. Curve gone.
The heat bar is a new one for me. Never thought of that thanks!
Use the 10" mark instead of the 1" mark to eliminate end play error. This way is much less prone to forgetting to subtract the offset.
That's something I always thought of as common sense but no one else I've met does it.
I'm new to the industry and last week I used tip number 8 all on my ones before seeing this video ... quite proud of myself. Cheers. 🤣
Straight to the point, thank you! I definitely learned a handful of tips with this video. Can’t wait to go to work and make those Center punches 😃
👌💪

NIce! Yeah I have seen those before, people used to use them a lot when locating race car side skirt holes.
Good tips! I knew some but learned a few more. Good job
The countersunk bolt head for weld nut is awesome
8:35 cardboard works good for larger ones as well, boss showed me it, really handy!
Finding the holes was genius!! Thx
Interesting tips! - - So much so, that I Subscribed - and this is the first video I've ever seen on your channel. - Thanks, for sharing!
liked your video have used quite a few of your tips over the years. Best center punch I found is a starter tap. Great punch that can be used indefinitely as long as you do not use it on hardened steel.
Great tips. Awesome editing and sound. Just subscribed!
Great video. Great tips, and you managed to get your sponsor pitch into the video. Thank you.
Mr Precise...precision measurement, precision time management...i like that precisely!
I knew a few of these but a few great tips with making blind holes! You know the end of the tape measure should move the thickness of the tap to compensate the tab being hung over a end or butted to a right angle.
Yeah I kinda tried to explain that in the text overlay, didn’t want to write a paragraph and forgot to say it verbally.
i have seen a lot of tape measures move more then they should some up too a 1/8 inch ..
Thanks brother always learning
Great video. Gonna have to watch this one again. Maybe several more times. The memory is the second thing to go when you get old.... can't remember what the first was..... lol
Have the same problem
Justin - fantastic! Thank you.
Man! I learned a lot from you. Thanks Justin!
Thanks for putting it out there 👍
im the kind of guy who likes to make tools and re-purpose what i can. i made my center punches out of a broken air hammer bit and an old fuel pump push rod. also made a scribe from a broken chisel. they work great!
Great tips brother very useful
fantastic information, thank you Justin...you are a Fabrication Star in my Opinion......cheers from central Florida, Paul

Straight to the point. 👏👏👏👏great tips, thanks.
Always nice to finde out that ewen after 30 years of workin there is still a lot to learn 😉 thanks
All good tips. Thanks
Thanks
The last one is chills
The play on a tape measure is by design to compensate for the thickness of the metal on the end
That is what it is intended for yes, however as a tape gets used that play can become too much and thus become inaccurate which is why we burn a couple inches to keep thing as accurate as possible
Its a true zero, when u measure an edge the gap opens to measure exactly from the edge and when u measure something that u can push the tape on to and then u can accurately measure from that point on
@@luisvaldovinos3340 play will develop over time with use
@@kadeheatherly2891 very true. I'm back 2 years later and missed the part where he said that. My bad.
These were great thanks 😎
Awesome video this week. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thanks, will do!
Good tips. Great thanks
Great tips. Thanks
Could have used at least three of these tips on my last project. Thanks!
Sorry i didn't make it sooner!
This was useful - thanks for this!
very helpful Thank you

Great tips thanks for sharing
cant you use brass as a backer as well or is it jus copper and aluminium??
Top tips, great vid, thank you dude
No problem 👍
Great video. Very good help. Thank you.
Very, very good tips I can use, nice.
I really liked Tip number 1 that’s for sharing, I’ve been practicing that tip and it’s a lot smoother and faster
I liked using a square to find the center of a circle but also found it ironic.
great video....very helpful. thanks
Awesome man, you just helped me a problem I've been having, too bad I welded it up before I saw this video 🤣🤣 next time though!! Thanks again. I would love more tips!
Goldmine of knowledge
Thanks for the fantastic tips loved them all I know a lot of them are going to be so useful 👍👍

For #5 .I would use my tape measure to get that circle😜
Got u on that one lol
Good video❤
Great tips! Thanks. New subscriber.
Good tips Justin.
You're a life-saver for referencing Empire Abrasives!
I got you!
Useful thanks

I love when the workplace is clean and hands are clean
In my workshop we can't keep it clean at all the stuff we work on have so much oil and grease
Some of the best fab tips I’ve seen. Thank you for these practical suggestions. 👍👍😎👍👍
You’re welcome I’m glad you found them useful!
Another great video!!!
Where do you get glowing tool chests from? I've looked all over...
Just kidding. Good tips and clean production.
Thanks!
For a backer in place of aluminum or copper use an old cutting disc or grinding disc it works well and they're disposable no hard feelings lost if damaged or warped
