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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
@ 1:52 : stiff paper. What about an 8.5 x 11 clear sheet of laminate plastic from the print shop? Just run through laminator at the print shop to make it stiff & pay for 1 laminate & wala now you can see the hole through the laminate and its stiff
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.
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 👍👍👍
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
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.
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
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!
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.
The flat head screw for centering bolts also works as a way to install PEM nuts if you can't get an arbor press into the location to install them. Just use a strong flathead with a hex or Torx drive and screw down the PEM nut until it fully installs itself and clinches in the sheet metal. Small diameter bolts might snap, so be careful under around M4 or #10.
Fckin saved this video to my playlist. My friend literally gave me an Empire Abrasives flap disk today and it was awesome, so I’m gonna have to use the promo code to get a discount when I buy my own.
Yeah dude, when I say “literally”, I mean literally today lol. I’ve used a couple flap disks, but theirs was literally so smoothe and quiet with less “kickback/resistance” than the other two I’ve used. Glad you made this video. Super informative.
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
Those are some awesome tips, some so intuitive I can't believe it's not common knowledge in all the trades. However, #9 went over my head somehow. I'll scroll through the comments to see if anyone else had the same issue. At any rate you got a new sub :)
Say you need to create a patch for an odd shaped hole in some sheet metal, if you start with a circular piece of metal, you can tape paper around the outside of the circle until it’s silhouette matches the shape of the hole that needs patching, then trace your metal/paper amalgamation to have a perfectly odd shaped patch
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
Thanks for the video bro. Helpful content
Super job Justin!!!! Been in fab/weld for 30 years. You just taught me a few new tricks..
Drawing the perfect circle is easy, it’s cutting it where it gets difficult. Thanks 😊
I’m new to fabrication, these tips were gold. Thank you!
For once on RUclips, 10 minutes of my life I'm very glad I invested.
Thank you.
🇬🇧
Glad to hear it!

#2 is a game changer for me thanks! Love the vid 🤘
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.
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.
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.

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!
The timer in the background is super cool editing. Also the production quality is fantastic all around.
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.
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
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.
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. 🤣
Never knew about the center of a circle one. Amazing.
Succinct video. Beautifully done.
Many thanks!

NIce! Yeah I have seen those before, people used to use them a lot when locating race car side skirt holes.
The heat bar is a new one for me. Never thought of that thanks!
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 ..
Really awesome tips thank you.
Thanks!
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 😃
👌💪

Finding the holes was genius!! Thx
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.
Great video. Great tips, and you managed to get your sponsor pitch into the video. Thank you.
Good tips! I knew some but learned a few more. Good job
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 tips Justin, thank you!
fantastic information, thank you Justin...you are a Fabrication Star in my Opinion......cheers from central Florida, Paul
Man! I learned a lot from you. Thanks Justin!
They’re all super handy, cheers legend
The last one is chills
Thank you for these tips. First one would be my bet. Keep your video coming!
I liked using a square to find the center of a circle but also found it ironic.
Always nice to finde out that ewen after 30 years of workin there is still a lot to learn 😉 thanks

The countersunk bolt head for weld nut is awesome
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

You're a life-saver for referencing Empire Abrasives!
I got you!
Great tips, I did learn something, thanks
Heat bars - great idea ! Thank you.
Interesting tips! - - So much so, that I Subscribed - and this is the first video I've ever seen on your channel. - Thanks, for sharing!
Just learning TIG. #10 will help for sure.
Justin - fantastic! Thank you.

Works for me.
Thank you very much will make things easer
8:35 cardboard works good for larger ones as well, boss showed me it, really handy!
Could have used at least three of these tips on my last project. Thanks!
Sorry i didn't make it sooner!
I always learn something. Thanks!
I really liked Tip number 1 that’s for sharing, I’ve been practicing that tip and it’s a lot smoother and faster
Tips 1 & 2 were great tips.
This was useful - thanks for this!
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!
Goldmine of knowledge
Thanks for the fantastic tips loved them all I know a lot of them are going to be so useful 👍👍
Awesome glad you found some useful!
Nicely done
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.

You’re welcome I’m glad you found them useful!
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
very helpful Thank you
Well well well look who has a sponsor. Good job!

For #5 .I would use my tape measure to get that circle😜
Got u on that one lol
