We are excited to now be carrying Circle Burners in my shop. That's the handy jig we are using to pop holes in the post. You can get yourself one here www.arosswelding.com/shop/circleburner
Dude! Great looking job! Also, really appreciate y'all keeping your language clean. My daughter and I can enjoy watching together! Thanks and God bless!
I'll tell ya this. Video may be a year old, but I was supervisor at a fab shop in white oak Texas and we hired so many rig welder and pipeliners that did not know too much. Most lasted two weeks before they dragged up. Most had an ego that had no evidence of skills. You sir are a fabricator, you are smart and your the most humble I have ever seen, you let your skills talk instead of your mouth. That is a good quality that most don't have. Continue with the good work that you do..
The entusiasm and happines on the job is refreshing. Fabrication and welding jobs are not always fun and not always great but when things go well, it is a good time. It's worth it to enjoy the good times and take them as they come.
The fastest way is actually to cope one side of the cross members and make holes on the other side of the uprights. Cut cross members slightly long and you can even cope them with the saw. Can do it on time off and keep a stack of cross members ready if needed. Diablo baldes are awesome. I recently switched to them and I was impressed. We cut over 120 stainless rods 1.250” thick and blade still cuts great.
Quick tip/ suggestion for you, weld you a socket the size of your knuckle on your torches on the inside of your box on ur truck. So u don’t have to use a crescent to take them on and off. Use a file in between the quick connects to tighten and loosen
Love that idea!!! Would love to do the weld-outs. Really nice job, Austin. Great to see good work from a young person. Semi-retired now, and I've been welding for 50+ years, including code pipe. Our trade is in good hands!!!
I’ve never seen it done with cutting holes in the pipe like that. Usually it’s coped or pressed on the end. I like the way you guys did it though and the fence looks great.
You need some beefy press set-ups and a die for pressing down tube that size. It works well for small thin-wall tube, but you need double-digit tonnage on a press to get a decent result with something like 3" sch 40. Our shop had to do a run of 'em for parking-meters of all things, the meter bolts to the flattened section of pipe and the cylindrical end gets embedded in concrete.
I work on a ranch and we have used this method for years. We like this method for the fact that no condensation gets trapped in the horizontal pipes and rusts them out.
Diablo is basically the best 👌 I've never been let down by them. Commercial electrician, dry chop saw, grinding wheels, sawzal blades, skill saw blades. Diablo all the way
Iam a crane operator, I work around petroleum fields in Canada I worked alongside lots of trades. What determines good work for me is something this guy has and that his setup and gear and thats his choice of clothes I noticed his wearing white, I never seen a welder wearing white before. Good on you man keep up the good work
When you said you weren't expecting much out of that diablo blade I just kind of chuckled and thought 'just you wait' :)I use them in everything that cuts wood or metal. The Skil SPT78MMC22 with the 8-1/4 metal blade would work thru one layer of that pile in 15 minutes without ever lifting a stick.Thanks for doing this video Austin, it's a great looking fence and your partner has my utmost respect for cutting all those holes- what a job!
Austin, I gotta say. You are in a league of your own. The place I work at, I do a lot of fabrication, and even more repairs in the field on heavy equipment. I watched a video of yours a while back on pancake hoods, and how to fit them and you sold me. My wife bought me a Hobart inventor series for Christmas, and I love it. But, my new Wendy's pancake is absolutely amazing. Backlighting? Whats that? Smoke in the eyes? Not anymore. I even find myself reachimg for it more and more every day over my old sugar scoop and inventor. And, I will say this; a quality lens is an absolute necessity. I got the adjustable shade Lincoln Electric 2x4C, and it is amazing. Super clear. Everyone at work looks at me like I have a thumb growimg out of my nose when I am using it, so I tell them that until they try one for themselves, they wouldn't understand. Great job on the fence by the way! One of these days I'll get me a Lincoln welding machine like yours, or rebuild the engine in the SA-200 I have that was a gift from my wifes family, but until then my $300 Hobart G258 with the Willys Jeep flat head 4 cylinder will have to do. Its a 1400 pound monster, but it runs good amd everything works on it. Keep up the good work man! Stay safe and keep the family fed. Cheers from Southern Illinois!
I own a fabrication shop (40yrs now) and the Diablo blades do real well... When we first used one we were skeptical, but they are working real well and for an affordable price... We are also using the Diablo sanding disc's and they are rocking as well... Blown away and loving it.. We will keep using that brand for now...
In the Oil Patch it is common to find pipe that would not past pressure test, We buy it for scrap prices. When i was a kid in Houston we build all our fences wite pipe.
No it’s actually pretty cheap. I have seen it as cheap as a 25 cents a foot. It’s old drill pipe that doesn’t meet standards. Trust me the last think you want is to be 200 plus feet down and have a pipe snap.
George Owen I don’t want to be a know it all but this pipe is not drill stem!! I’ve been around water well drilling most of my life and drill stem is extremely heavy walled pipe!!👍
Guys he’s prolly not taking about the price of the pipe,the type of fence and the amount of work put into it is what would make this job an expensive one
I ran a few thousand feet last year and I switched to a plasma cutter. Made a template and marked the circles, then super quick work popping the holes. You’re work is meticulous.
I am a woodworker learning to weld that’s how I found your channel but I own pretty much everything Milwaukee and as far as sawblades go for wood of course Diablo blades are my favorite I don’t know anything about metal blades like for cut off saws or anything
To cope every freaking rail TWICE! I think this way is way better. Not to mention when coping the length has to be perfect!! I bet that circle burner is tough to learn though! Not so much on flat surfaces but the round pipe with the distance from the tip constantly changing wow! Patience was the exact right word! Looks great!
I had a pipe fence, cattle guard, gate, and h brace gig back in 2015.. kept me busy for 7months! GodBless, that was after the crash of 2015. The entire gig was old 3"/6" liner pipe. Terrible to fab with all that melted liner ruining hope for clean torch tip cuts. Arc blowin allover the place even after heating up and wrapping 4-5 times around with bare copper clipped to my ground. You, my friend, are lucky to have new pipe for the job Fence is legit tho, solid, plumb, and level. Diablo has always been a very surprisingly decent brand, just about anything they make with the right touch will usually outlast your expectations. Y'all stay good out there...
I’m curious on what jig or method you guys use to lay out the holes you cut on the post of the fence, how to make sure you are straight and completely 180° on each side of the post? Or do you simply measure, mark, and cut? Good looking work!
Hello Austin. I’ve used the circle cutter for years. It’s awesome Thought I was in heaven when I first found it LOL. I also have it set up to mount my plasma cutter Awesome job y’all are doin very professional See y’all next time Larry
Really like the video on the pipe fence. A couple questions: 1] What is the Machete/Big Knife for --- sticking under the right side of the SAE-300 red face welder top cover? 2] Is there a Fixed Jaw MISSING on the Combination Vise at the right rear corner of the truck bed?
When it comes to torch and grind time for all those holes , I would want to try a hole saw on a half inch drill as a comparison, thanks for sharing your tips and tricks these fence videos are really interesting
@@cabbyhubby cept it isnt heavy schedule, if you take a closer look . austin mentions wanting to streamline the process me and my guys try comparisons in the field all the time
Need more information on tools used - tool to cut top of pipe off and tool used to make holes in pipe ?? Awesome !! responses ...Thank you for the information I HIGHLY recommend this Austin Ross Channel
Mathey dearman beveling machine isn’t what I used to cut tops of pipe off. And the circle burner I got from my local welding supply. Try calling these 3 places and see which one will ship one to you. Tell them I sent you. Munn supply: 580-234-4120 Stillwater steel 405-377-5550 Chickasha ind. & welding 495-224-2215
Hey Victor were you able to get ahold of a circle burner? We heard a lot of people couldn't find them so we decided to sell them in my online shop if you are still needing or wanting one. Hope you're well. www.arosswelding.com/shop/circleburner
I build quite a bit of fence, sometimes I cut holes in the upright, and sometimes I saddle the middle rails. I like cutting the upright better. I think you get a better weld when you cut the upright. That’s a nice looking fence by the way. Just got finished building 1800 ft of fence just like that. Nothing looks much better than a nice fence!
I love my Diablo blade been using them for years last much longer than the blade I had before as long as you don't have any broken teeth you can resharpen them on a harbor freight blade sharpener as long as you get it set up right it works pretty good I tried that after the only local blade sharpener quoted me a price that was only like 3 bucks less than a new blade so I got the HF unit and after a lil time getting it set up and minor mods it works great to get double or triple the life outta some blades 👍👍👍
Really enjoy watching your videos, it’s kind of nice to do something different for a change, it’s a lot less pressure welding fence instead of mainline everyday!!!
Mr Austin Ross I'm always learning something new with your videos thank you for sharing. Can you please recomend the best steel cutting wheel that worked for you thanks in advance.
Another fence I built was I used 4 inch sqaure tubing up rights turned so they was turned in a diamond fashion had 1 inch pipe for runners in 24 foot lengths. Spaced the upright 12 apart cut the hole in uprights and slid the flexible pipe threw center uprights and ends in each end and built fence in half the time because of labor savings weld it up and primed and painted. Later discovered I just needed to weld the center upright and leave ends open to save even more time.
nice video - i don't get 100 cuts on my evolution blade and saw - maybe 50-70 - so good on you - please provide link to circle cutter torch holder and the chain torch cutter you use to cut tops...very nice - never done a fence like this before..
been here before, but for cow pens and corrals. we didn't have a torch to use, so we hammered the end of the pipes to get em closer together and then just butt welded em.
I couldn't believe how much it was to have a welded H brace barbed wire fence put it. To do a straight line 1/8 of a mile 6 wires in northern California was $3250. These guys must make bank!!
Went through Albuquerque Friday pipeline laying on the ground couldn't tell maybe 16 inch. Saw a rig welder at the KOA. Thought of you, don't know if your still "Home"
AWESOME video! If I had the pipe available here in Washington state, I'd love to build one of these fences! This looks like a fence that'd last a lifetime, & then some!
This popped up up because I was watching a flux core how too I guess? What a meticulous job, I've never seen a fence like that in SC. Those top and circle cutting jigs, cool, all the measuring, prep and joints, Wow, that should last a while, nice job.
Old school way is with string, but most guys have a laser surveyor kit these days. Essential Craftsman has a good string setup video for carpenters but the same concepts carry over for block, concrete, fencing and so on.
What a beautiful job. Well done. I haven't seen tube fencing in Australia. Almost all the out farming fencing is timber. The piping is normally used around the gates and not the same diameter. Also galvanised. I was sort of hum and har about the diablo blade. I'm not really a big fan of diablo. I have a diablo blade for timber. I have three cordless cold cut saws and haven't really looked into getting the larger cold cut chop saw. Bosch make a decent one for around $650 aud. (Australian dollar). Although Milwaukee, dewalt and other brand names also make it. As for the evolution they seem to be Middle of the range. Your posts line up beautifully. I missed the video where you set in the posts so I guess you used lasers or some electronic equipment to line up posts. When you drive along and all are the same height is pleasing to the eye. I bet you get satisfaction from your work which is a very good form of therapy. Taking pride in your work and making the effort to present a video. Great video I enjoyed it immensely and subscribed.
Nice work! what I'd like to see is how you figured out how high to cut your posts (verticals) and especially how you figured out where to cut the holes for your crossmembers. That takes some major layout work. Obviously you've got some tricks to make it easier. Again, that's what I'd like to see. Circle burners are very handy tools. you also made me a believer as far as Diablo cutoff blades. I've done fencing and handrail work and the main tools that I've had were a cutting torch and an angle head grinder with a cut off wheel. I worked for an outfit back in 1981 that was building a feedlot in Boardman, OR. All of the pipe was old oil well casing and the crossmembers were called "sucker rod". They came out of old oil wells too. Now that was when you had to be real tricky to weld that old nasty crap. They didn't have all of your fancy tools either. They did have Lincoln welders, that was the only good thing. I also like your closing message about making sure that you learn something new every day.
What size flux core cause I tried .035 out last week and switched back to my 6011 1/8 in by weeks end, settings were smooth abt 200 wire speed and couldn't tell you the amps
@@caseyjones3182 Have been using .035 NR 211 MP on galvanized pipe and carbon steel pipe . Lincoln also makes .045, .068, 5/64 and 3/32 wire. Lincoln also has a video on how to use this wire. Get a Lincoln welding consumables catalog at your LWS and look up recommended setting.

I need help finding cheap metal with decent quality. I graduated from LIT in Beaumont. I’m looking to start my business. I live in San Antonio, Texas area. I want a bunch of different types of metal like both sheet and pipe mostly. I’ll take whatever but I have a miller trailblazer 325 with multimatic 215. I want to get good at tig again, but I can do it all, just need to practice again. I’ve put it off and it’s stressful especially during these times. I am also blind in one eye, what was I thinking when I chose welding 😂.? I love it and I love your channel it helps a lot. Glad to see a welder with such a calm demeanor! God Bless, thanks for any type of help. I have thought about making trailers, bbq pits, maybe a grille guard, thought about hitting up restaurants and getting good a tig/ stainless, aluminum as well. Since aluminum is the future of metal. Just need to get metal to get started, I’ve got almost everything but pipe stands. Maybe a few more clamps, lol. Make a video on how to go through the entire process of starting a entrepreneurship of welding, licensing, bond, insure, court house, llc, I got an idea but I’m a little lost.
Seems like it would be more difficult to get the horizontal pipes level. With copes you can always nudge the ends up or down but with holes you're committed.
I enjoyed this video. Welding and cutting at its best. But what really got my interest was the sun shield for your windscreen at 6:15. Where do you get em?
Would like to see yalls header/entrance creations. Question Mr. Ross, can you blow hole say a 2 3/8 post to mate a 2 3/8 pipe dog leg or rail. I've never seen or heard of your method before. Very cool video
That is one nice welder i wanted one and when i looked into how much it coast i sead wow. Almost 20,000 $ lincon welders work so well its like cadalac of welder
There is a lot of cool jigs in this but i am most curious about the pipe sled on the back of the white dodge! Do you have a video showing that in more detail??
nice job..enjoy your videos......... seems like a lot of wasted rail pipe and a lot of cuts .....would it work to push long lengths of rail thru the holes in the posts and weld where ever a rail splice comes up as well as at the posts ? Im cheap Id want to get max yield from material would you please explain how one would go about cutting the holes in the posts so they all line up for the rails to look continuous ?....thanks
We are excited to now be carrying Circle Burners in my shop. That's the handy jig we are using to pop holes in the post. You can get yourself one here www.arosswelding.com/shop/circleburner
Hi sir how about if i want Job there for as welder.....?
How do you price for a job like this? Obviously your expenses but do you charge per section or foot then add expenses?
@@michaelhuser964 maximum $15 sire
Need such a gadget for plasma cutters.
Where can I get one of those fancy torch set ups that’s on a track? The one that you cut the posts to height. Great video bradda 🤙🏻 👨🏭🔥

Quick tip/ suggestion for you, weld you a socket the size of your knuckle on your torches on the inside of your box on ur truck. So u don’t have to use a crescent to take them on and off. Use a file in between the quick connects to tighten and loosen
I cut with a cold saw everyday. I started using a wax cut stick type lubricant. I do believe it helps prolong blade life.
Love that idea!!! Would love to do the weld-outs. Really nice job, Austin. Great to see good work from a young person. Semi-retired now, and I've been welding for 50+ years, including code pipe. Our trade is in good hands!!!

I’ve never been a fan of the diablo blades for chop saws but I love their sawzall blades. To me they seem to be the best bang for your buck blades.
You see the Projectfarm video comparing them all?? Diablo sawzall blades beat everything else.
Man that is one heck of a fence! Never seen a pipe fence like that around me in Minnesota.

Damn that's a great fence. And not coping the pipe is a great thing to keep in mind if you're doing enough of it.
Thats a darn nice job. I have a fein slugger saw and would consider a diablo blade for a replacment. These saw blades are getting better all the time.

Spaced the upright 12 apart cut the hole in uprights and slid the flexible pipe threw center uprights and ends in each end and built fence in half the time because of labor savings weld it up and primed and painted. Later discovered I just needed to weld the center upright and leave ends open to save even more time.
nice video - i don't get 100 cuts on my evolution blade and saw - maybe 50-70 - so good on you - please provide link to circle cutter torch holder and the chain torch cutter you use to cut tops...very nice - never done a fence like this before..
Nice work and the music rocked!
Funny coincidence ... I was actually going to ask you what you thought of Evolution saw 😎 Im very grateful for your channel, thanks for sharing
been here before, but for cow pens and corrals. we didn't have a torch to use, so we hammered the end of the pipes to get em closer together and then just butt welded em.
I couldn’t tell if he was being sarcastic when he pulled out that 12” Diablo.
I no rite diablo make the best blades
Diablo wins in my books
Went to the comments for this comment right here hahaha. Diablo is the bomb
nice job man,im learning a lot from you,god blass you
Looking to get my own continuous fence company going myself been welding awhile now this is the way to get it done looks good
I couldn't believe how much it was to have a welded H brace barbed wire fence put it. To do a straight line 1/8 of a mile 6 wires in northern California was $3250. These guys must make bank!!
Good cuting blaze Little bit of oil it will last forever
Went through Albuquerque Friday pipeline laying on the ground couldn't tell maybe 16 inch. Saw a rig welder at the KOA. Thought of you, don't know if your still "Home"
Really made that look so easy and great looking 👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us Austin, keep up the good work and videos!!
Have you thought of getting a hand held plasma to cut the holes it would be a lot quicker with less clean up. It does look good though.
We are not set up for that but it’s something to think about.
Y’all knocked it out, great job! How did y’all keep all the holes in the post straight on each post and in line all together?
AWESOME video! If I had the pipe available here in Washington state, I'd love to build one of these fences! This looks like a fence that'd last a lifetime, & then some!
This popped up up because I was watching a flux core how too I guess? What a meticulous job, I've never seen a fence like that in SC. Those top and circle cutting jigs, cool, all the measuring, prep and joints, Wow, that should last a while, nice job.
Like it's been asked before, how do you layout the vertical holes to make sure they line up?
Old school way is with string, but most guys have a laser surveyor kit these days. Essential Craftsman has a good string setup video for carpenters but the same concepts carry over for block, concrete, fencing and so on.
What a beautiful job. Well done. I haven't seen tube fencing in Australia. Almost all the out farming fencing is timber. The piping is normally used around the gates and not the same diameter. Also galvanised. I was sort of hum and har about the diablo blade. I'm not really a big fan of diablo. I have a diablo blade for timber. I have three cordless cold cut saws and haven't really looked into getting the larger cold cut chop saw. Bosch make a decent one for around $650 aud. (Australian dollar). Although Milwaukee, dewalt and other brand names also make it. As for the evolution they seem to be Middle of the range. Your posts line up beautifully. I missed the video where you set in the posts so I guess you used lasers or some electronic equipment to line up posts. When you drive along and all are the same height is pleasing to the eye. I bet you get satisfaction from your work which is a very good form of therapy. Taking pride in your work and making the effort to present a video. Great video I enjoyed it immensely and subscribed.
Nice work! what I'd like to see is how you figured out how high to cut your posts (verticals) and especially how you figured out where to cut the holes for your crossmembers. That takes some major layout work. Obviously you've got some tricks to make it easier. Again, that's what I'd like to see. Circle burners are very handy tools. you also made me a believer as far as Diablo cutoff blades.
I've done fencing and handrail work and the main tools that I've had were a cutting torch and an angle head grinder with a cut off wheel. I worked for an outfit back in 1981 that was building a feedlot in Boardman, OR. All of the pipe was old oil well casing and the crossmembers were called "sucker rod". They came out of old oil wells too. Now that was when you had to be real tricky to weld that old nasty crap. They didn't have all of your fancy tools either. They did have Lincoln welders, that was the only good thing.
I also like your closing message about making sure that you learn something new every day.
Hey Austin excellent job on those fences,and i love your neatness and pastion toward the job .
I love the pickup truck modified as a work station
Love the video, and idk how you set up your sun shade for your truck on the windshield but I'd love to know
Same here.
A LN25 with some flux core would be good for this job.
What size flux core cause I tried .035 out last week and switched back to my 6011 1/8 in by weeks end, settings were smooth abt 200 wire speed and couldn't tell you the amps
@@caseyjones3182
Have been using .035 NR 211 MP on galvanized pipe and carbon steel pipe . Lincoln also makes .045, .068, 5/64 and 3/32 wire. Lincoln also has a video on how to use this wire. Get a Lincoln welding consumables catalog at your LWS and look up recommended setting.
I need help finding cheap metal with decent quality. I graduated from LIT in Beaumont. I’m looking to start my business. I live in San Antonio, Texas area. I want a bunch of different types of metal like both sheet and pipe mostly. I’ll take whatever but I have a miller trailblazer 325 with multimatic 215. I want to get good at tig again, but I can do it all, just need to practice again. I’ve put it off and it’s stressful especially during these times. I am also blind in one eye, what was I thinking when I chose welding 😂.? I love it and I love your channel it helps a lot. Glad to see a welder with such a calm demeanor! God Bless, thanks for any type of help.
I have thought about making trailers, bbq pits, maybe a grille guard, thought about hitting up restaurants and getting good a tig/ stainless, aluminum as well. Since aluminum is the future of metal. Just need to get metal to get started, I’ve got almost everything but pipe stands. Maybe a few more clamps, lol. Make a video on how to go through the entire process of starting a entrepreneurship of welding, licensing, bond, insure, court house, llc, I got an idea but I’m a little lost.
I'm in SA too, go check out PMI in town, I like them better than Westbrook.
Very clean workmanship sir...
Seems like it would be more difficult to get the horizontal pipes level. With copes you can always nudge the ends up or down but with holes you're committed.
That's this old carpenter and half ass welder thought, easier to cheat!
I enjoyed this video. Welding and cutting at its best. But what really got my interest was the sun shield for your windscreen at 6:15. Where do you get em?
Great videos..I had a question sir..where can I get one of those circle cutter things for my torch?
I built my own in an hour or so. Just needed a drill press and a wire feed welder.
Austin, how did you lay out the holes in the pipe?
great vids. Austin, thanks much. whats that diddy bag hanging off your rearview?
Would like to see yalls header/entrance creations. Question Mr. Ross, can you blow hole say a 2 3/8 post to mate a 2 3/8 pipe dog leg or rail. I've never seen or heard of your method before. Very cool video
That is one nice welder i wanted one and when i looked into how much it coast i sead wow. Almost 20,000 $ lincon welders work so well its like cadalac of welder
How do you handle corner posts? Just cut the circles out 90 degrees apart?
This would be a really fun job to spring time just before it gets blazing hot
good job but how are you checking straightness and level?
What kind of saw blade do you use to cut metal pipe with your chopsaw or benchsaw how ever youcall it?
“show iron”, hell yea so good. Early morning is the best.
There is a lot of cool jigs in this but i am most curious about the pipe sled on the back of the white dodge! Do you have a video showing that in more detail??
Watching the end of the video it looks like some of the pipe is it different diameter
I love them diablo 4 in blades on my angle grinder for Aluminum work. Fuel tankers ect. Sure its a bit scary but it is fast
Yoooooooo Austin I wanna thank you for that starch video you made awhile back I just bought my press and I love it thanks...from Texas.
Such quality content. Thank you Mr. Ross!
Damn what are they tryin to keep in there, thats one hell of a solid fence
Rhino proof haha
It’s a statement
Its only along the road, just to look tough and as Oklahoma as possible
Looks great. Wish someone around here would build fence like that.
Looks good ! just curious to as why you wouldn’t set the post to height instead of cutting them off after they where set ?
nice job..enjoy your videos......... seems like a lot of wasted rail pipe and a lot of cuts .....would it work to push long lengths of rail thru the holes in the posts and weld where ever a rail splice comes up as well as at the posts ? Im cheap Id want to get max yield from material
would you please explain how one would go about cutting the holes in the posts so they all line up for the rails to look continuous ?....thanks
That's a solid looking fence... Nice work.
