I think people love working with you. You are relaxed and you keep things under control. Nice work Austin.

I got my start welding in the Navy, doing plate and pipe welding on SSBN submarines. I gave it up for firefighting after I got out, but I’m still a welder/fitter at heart. Love your videos bro.

How much did they paid for welding in navy ? did the navy did that themselves or give contract to other outside contractor to do the work ?

77 year welder with 56 years welder/fabricator just enjoy watching you work ! Keep it up .

I made a corral many years ago from oil field pipe. (Bartlesville, OK) The posts were 2-7/8 tubing and the rails were 2-3/8. Rather than create saddles on the rails, I cut a bunch of one foot 2-7/8 pieces (w/chop saw) in the shop then split them in half by creating saddles. The 2-3/8 rails were flush cut to the approximate length. The 2-3/8 fit inside the 2-7/8 saddle pieces and it made the fitting and welding a lot easier. Saved a lot of measuring and grinding.

I have been a welder for 25+ years even taught at the community college here and I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work and it's nice to see someone who loves what they do and is happy to share their tricks with others!!

Never thought I’d look at fencing as art. Beautiful.

Great finish on the fencing Austin, you both did a good job and it turned out fantastic. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

You bet Fred! Thank you for watching!

That was pretty cool just needed a little more of a close up picture of the slam gate latch

Like your jack set up, made one years ago for the department I worked In. I would have primed pipe before installing.

Gotta say your videos & teaching style is a real pleasure to watch, Austin. And my wife got me your soapstone & brass holder for last Christmas--it's great. Thank you for all you do for all of us!

When building pens, I use spring loaded latches installed on the gate in the same manner. You can get by without using the catch on the post side if the pipe is a good diameter say 3 1/2" or 4 1/2". I smash a small piece of pipe into an oval for clearance up and down, cap inside with 1/8" to keep hornets out, recess it in upright, weld around outer portion, and grind flat to the big pipe. Saves money by not buying catch side and leaves it looking super clean. Love your vids, I always learn something useful!

You have an awesome teaching style man. Glad you’re doing courses now.

Awesome videos Ross. I’ve currently been working on building pipe fence at our ranch and definitely using this design for man gates throughout the property C’mon!✍🏼

I'm surprised you don't use the green laser tape measures. I use them anytime I need to fabricate fence panels, or anything that needs to sit in-between 2 objects. They are insanely efficient, reliable, and eliminate the need for a 2nd hand for measurements in most cases. They're especially nice on really long runs where a tape will bend/ bow and not give you a dead nuts measurement. Maybe one day you can try them out, the future is here :D

Nice work Austin. One option for bolting the tubing to the masonry would be to drill holes in the brick and epoxy all thread into the holes.

That’s a good looking fence dude.

Great skills good to see diligent attention to detail. Watching from Ross Tasmania

Great work! I’m an amateur and usually only work on my own stuff and love learning other techniques. On those long gates and single strap hinges, I’ve had several of them crack and break welds under the weight and working pressure. I like to add a second strap welded to the side of the tubing part of the hinge and the gate post. Helps add an lot more strength, especially on the longer gates.

I appreciate this message. Thank you for sharing it.

Nice work. Love your attention to detail. The slam latches are great for cattle corrals. If you throw the gate hard enough, it will skip past the latch - which can be helpful when working cattle. Curious why you hung the last gate lower than fence height, which essentially makes the entire fence that height.

Nice looking fence and gates.

Great video! Nice job! Keep up the good work! 👌👍

Awesome as always Austin

I like the lil cap plates

Nice jacks buddy. Yes I did learn something and I’m old school.

still looking clean as a heck brother.

Amazing work

We are based in the UK & would have pre-fabricated all of these sections/panels & sent them away for galvanising (& possibly powder coating) in bolt together/portal format, rather than weld the whole installation on site! What coating is the client going to put on this metal work? those gate hinges seemed tight enough in the video, give them a couple of months of exposure to rain & oxygen & they are going to get even tighter. ive never seen panel work in a residential or commercial way done like this before. very interesting. Cheers, Louis

Great job as always

Love your videos brother! Do you have a video about building the gate jacks?

Great job fellas!

I’ve been doing some searching for ideas on getting my property fenced up, so glad I found this! My boy can’t reach over the fence to get to current latch. It won’t be as pretty when I hack one together, but that’s slick Then I see you’re an Okie! Even better. We have run some of the same roads no doubt. I used to work for Stillwater Fire ages ago. Looking forward to the rest of the channel!

Hey I use 1×1 angle with a piece of 1×1 square stock. Sandwich and bolted with wing nuts. Then attach with a chainlink stretcher. one even pull that way. Pretty much samething you had just thinner to be able ro hook with chainlink stretcher.

We made self closing access point gates using angles cuts on pipe similar to what is in the slam gate latch. I’d rather use the epoxy in place bolts with concrete.

One additional method, to put ing brackets on brick is to use the kit we’re you drill a hole and put a plastic socket in to the brick to-accept the screw . I find they don’t crack the brick or cement block because the plastic gives a little and wedges the screw in place.

Looks good Austin

Thanks Bart! And thanks for watching!

Yeah, looks great.

Austin, do you ever do anything special when hanging longer gates off a line post to prevent the weight of the gate from bending the post when open?

Great video! I'm curious why you didn't just run the fencing around the outside of the corner post instead of dealing with the hassle of the stretch bar. Is it harder or less secure?

Thanks for the tape measure quirk

clean job

Good Job bro Greetings,

Did you build you clamp for the field fence? I like that design.

Inspiration!

I’m going to steal that jack idea from you bud.

Great video, What king of fence wire is that?

You never fasten a post to a house if it’s in the ground. The ground moves at different rate then the house/foundation. Here in Canada if you do that all the bricks will be destroyed when the frost/thaw happens.

You ever use a portaband to cut your pipe instead of the torch? We did 50 sticks, cut both ends off with one 6.0AH battery.

Great video Austin. Something to consider; the slam latch was placed under the horizontal rail of the gate which should be fine; however, the welded wire panel was added to the gate later requiring the person operating the gate to have to reach over the rail/panel to grab the slam latch handle. Placement of the latch above the horizontal pipe member would result in use of the latch to be more user friendly since doesn't have the pipe or panel as an obstacle to reaching the latch handle. Just something to consider for future slam latch installs. Thanks Again, Austin!

I'm doing something very similar on all my gates but I'm using horse panel sections in the gate rather than the welded wire. I remove a rod or two from the panel so the latch can be reached from either side.

When will you have your Heather gray 3xxxl hoodies in.

I enjoy your videos, but with this one, I wish you would've had the camera closer either while welding up the fence and gates or showed the finished work a bit more. I'm a visual learner, and it would have been nice to see what you did a little better. Otherwise I got the jist of how you did tge slam gate latch. Great idea.

Curious as to where you purchased the slam latches

Man how far are you from celeste tx I know your in Oklahoma I’ve been wanting some tips on combo welding didn’t know if you’d be willing to do in person teaching

Use fire blankets to help protect the customers concrete.

How did you do the slam latch?

Where do you find your pipe? I’m having trouble finding it

Just need some Austin abs kayla content...

So have you always had your business? Or were you a pipe fitter or in the union previously?

He said!!!!! Watch the bubble boi!!!!!!

Have you considered getting a portable plasma cutter

Where did you get your stands from

Have you got a diagram of that latch I need to fix one just like it.

I wouldn't tie into the brick like that because usually not a part of the house plus brick is too soft and screws and anchors usually don't hold. Whenever possible screw into the stud.

Austin building a sliding steal frame with wooden pickets don't want to screw my wooden picket on the steal frame do you think this could work if I use 2x4 across with weld bracket holding the 2x4 then but my picket fence with wooden screws
