Anthony’s Insane One-Day I-Beam Challenge-Can He Do It All Alone?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- I’m putting my skills to the test as I maneuver these massive steel beams into position and weld ‘em into place in a concrete foundation. It’s all about precision, power, and getting that perfect weld. Watch as I guide these heavy beams into position, making sure everything’s lined up just right before the welding begins. I’ll show you the tricks and techniques I use to make sure the structure is solid and ready to hold up under pressure. If you like heavy metal (in every sense of the word), this one’s for you. Let’s get into it!

Just started some welding classes. Enjoying your videos!Down to earth, informative, and funny. Appreciate you. I’m 35 but I hear they need more welders so here I come.
5:38 you get her good on the arc flash lmao that’ll teach her.. great job man
That poor lady! It hurt more because ut was so dark outside her eyes were adjusted.
I appreciate your content, Sir. I've been building 30 years and imma have to tell you that is brick shathouse strong and you did an excellent job. I love your candid take on everything.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
Finally a video brother, only 7 minutes better than nothing though thank you for another great video.
I just cherry-picked the best footage. Started with over 2 1/2 hours of footage
Interesting design, it must be a larger build span that I could tell from the video. At first I thought they were going to be part of a big red iron commercial building! Nice work! 👍😁
This was cool too see. I’ve seen some neat things built in terms of wooden floor systems but nothing quite like this. Well done sir, thank you for sharing
Man I miss this content. Thank u MMA
Great video by a real professional great scenery also
Love it out here
Good stuff as always mate.
Certainly not going to fall down anytime soon. Interesting to see they wanted welded connections on the beam pockets.
Great change of venue from other's welding video. Glad to see you prospering MMA.
Thank you!
Excellent work. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the videos. Keep up the good work 💪🏻
Thanks brother!
Good stuff, MMA! You rock, man!
Large scale work. Gettin shit done... Excellent. Cheers
Thanks brother!
Another beauty!! You should have done more filming when you cut the cope to fit. Its a tough go for many. Cheers bud!!
Did my best! Need a full time camera person
love it. Stay WARM! - from FL
I always find it easier to do vertical torch cuts uphill instead of downhill, less risk of hitting a pocket of dross on the backside and getting spatter down your back.
Kick'in ass and taking names. ;)
Hell ya brother
Nice work. I've been building a toy hauler bed on a school bus for the last month. So much notching & miters on 3&4" channel. Used red oxide primer like that too.
Nice!
Nice work, thanks for sharing
Thanks bud!
Hell yeah man
Mannn Montana background is gorgeous beats Florida for peace thats for sure
Have you tried doing flux core dual shield out in field ? ... Good job on structure
Flux core and duel shield are 2 different wires...duel shield wouldn't be a great choice out there in the wide open because of the wind blowing your gas away.
@@steelmaster73 Actually both are flux cored wires one is just self shielded by the flux in the wire alone and one is shielded by the flux in the wire as well as gas. His question is valid. I run dual shielded flux core in the field quite often unless it is very windy.
@@Garrisonwelding he didn't ask that question, he referred to the wire wrong...i simply stated they're 2 separate wires...i know the difference son...I been welding before you could probably walk
@@steelmaster73 Easy there buddy. Don’t get so upset. Would you prefer he said dual shielded flux core instead of flux core dual shield?
@Garrisonwelding no, all I said originally was they're 2 different wires and what applications they're better suited for...I didn't think it needed to be corrected
I love working big steel, when I can get the work.
Cool job because you could do the whole thing without ever getting on a ladder. Like others who have already commented, I can’t believe that you were allowed to weld the connections where the beams T into each other.
What do you think of the HubCap shirt you have on on the first clip?
Nice work Brother! Wife came from a concrete family. As I was watching today she was like “where’s the safety bumpers for the ends of all those bolts?” Hahahaha
I told her he’s not in Michigan. No safety Nazis there. Keep up good work!
lol ya I see them on big jobs here. Not on house builds thou
Nice work. I appreciate your multi-tasking talent. Do you bevel the sides of the L beams for welding or no need to?
Yes I beveled the ends
very nice work man easy money is what they ahould be calling you 🤑
Appreciate that!
Hi MMA! What do you think about adding a $100 trip fee to a mobile welding service call? Thank you.
I charge by the hour straight up weather I drive or push paper.
Man I got a bobcat 225 on a trailer with all the tools I need to start doing mobile jobs just don’t really know how to advertise my services!
I would go for bolts instead of just studs for keeping them strictly vertical and cover the threads during welding to keep them clean.
Waste of time
What makes is he using? I need one of those
Cool video and great work only 1 man for the job 👍👍
Thanks, brother! I appreciate you
This is the stuff I do. Nicely done but I'm surprised those were welded connections in the middle. Around here I'd have to use a bolted connection, either shear plate or a double-angle. Plus, bolted goes so much faster
You can have your engineer change it to welds. Bolted is for convience
Mr Anthony sir, I’m currently in School and 3-4 weeks away from graduation, one thing that has been bugging me this whole time is getting the right Amperage. How do you determine the amperage needed for a weld? I apologize if it’s a stupid question. I’m a bit of a insecure guy so I question everything 😅
Wonder what to charge for this job
Very informative thank you. Though (dummy me!) I did not understand where you welded the end of beam put in the concrete. Was there any metal housing there before landing the beam? 00:01.50
You got a badass job/trade. How the hell can i get into welding
Look into a trade school
welding magnets make easy work with rod.
😂😂 🤜🏼🤛🏼💥
I'm ignorant to welding and construction so my apologies..but did you weld the steel to the cement?
No that's what we can embed it's a steel plate “ embedded into the foundation concrete.
home or business structure?
😎👍
How do you get jobs like this?
Mostly word of mouth
Hey you should get some steel chokers for picking beams. Never use synthetic slings for beams. A half inch choker 8’ long is like 30 bucks way better then a trip to the hospital
Nothing sharp on a beam edge. These are rated at 10,000 like this. Don’t worry
@ the edges of the beam are the sharpe edge. Believe me man I do this for a living. 99% of manufacturers require a minimum edge or link diameter for synthetic slings (and steel) no matter the weight rating on the sling a hard edge will eat the sling away. Also never do a single point pick in a basket configuration all single points should be in a choke even multi point picks should be in a choke unless the sling angle is less then 10* then a basket would be alright.

@@claytonhanika1992 He gets offended when guys try to help him out.
@ I guess. I mean I teach rigging and welding for the apprenticeship classes. I’m all for helping people out with knowledge of the trade
I liked your video and still fucked myself, but dude! First thing I did when I got a chop saw, was I drilled two holes to the side of its frame, welded nuts behind, and bolted a DIY adjustable stop made of angle iron and scrap flat lying around. It's sad but nobody really cares about how beautiful our welds are. All they care about is how fast we get it done, and that is where the money is... Or time with our families.
That's a genius idea. Thanks. I'm gonna see if its steel. If not maybe I can tap them
Years ago I welded pipe coupling to plate, self tapping screws to saw. Made a clamp on sliding stop for threaded pipe. I med length, 1 long.
Hahahaha.....i love your style my brother but that project was backwards.
Did you worry about heights at all or just trust concreter put the cast in plates correct height
I can't change it, why worry
Not a full pen
