Building and installing pipe/picket commercial handrails on handicap ramp 

Absolutely makes it easier. we try to take everything with us especially when we’re 2 hours from the shop but inevitably we forget something.

@@MattcoMetalWorks ya That happens with our crew all the time. We spend lots of time thinking about what we need to take with us for the install but always seem to forget some important tool. 😂

That’s exactly why I won’t get another dewalt chop saw. I’ve had one and the blades move way too much. I’ll check on the steelmax Thanks for the info.

@@MattcoMetalWorks The other huge plus is you can take a blades width off if you need to just like a woodworking chop saw. Nice work on those railings by the way!

@@daviddube2181 yea I’ve needed one for a long time just haven’t pulled the trigger. Thanks so much we were rushed so I wasn’t able to get it perfect but it’s so close. Thanks for watching

Well thank you sir. Definitely not perfect but we always strive for perfection. Hit all the small details that 90% of people will never even see. But we will know. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and share. Have a great day Rodney

Yea evolution is what I’ve been eyeing. We have an evolution mag drill and love it. Yes we too had some small issues with concrete wanting to crack. It was absolutely not the right time to install the rails but we literally finished at 2 and the inspector was walked around the corner at 2:15. Fire Marshall was there when we pulled out at 3:30. I assume they were opening the next day.

Sounds exactly like the job that we had . My shop is in NE Alabama and the job was in NW Georgia. The inspectors, Fire Marshals, etc are a little more strict . They let us Liquid Nail and concrete patch the corner . A relief. We pretty much share the same scope of work . We have an Evolution chop and hand held saws as well as a mag drill . Had a few issues but were easily able to get parts from them

Great idea. I’ve thought about having a normal small bandsaw to use for onsite work but I would need an enclosed trailer etc and as you can see I couldn’t haul 23’ long rails and a tool trailer. I’ll definitely check those out though. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching too. Have a great weekend

@@MattcoMetalWorks why not a little jobsite box for the back of the vehicle? I use a Dewalt roll around toolbox it costs $90 at home depot it holds grinders consumables and other tools/gear its huge and an easy add on just heavy when loaded lol

@@michaelschulz4317 yep we actually use a large plastic roll around to carry out little mig welder. I think I got it from Home Depot also.

Thanks a lot it turned out pretty good. I definitely need to go up on pricing if that’s the case. I don’t remember exactly what this job was but not enough apparently. Most of the time we’re around $100-$125 per ft then commercial like these is alittle more plus travel etc.

@@MattcoMetalWorks thanks for responding. I know money is a touchy subject for a lot of ppl and rightfully so. So I appreciate you sharing that info with me. I’ve been binge watching your channel now that I’ve discovered it lol. Maybe in a future video you could go into depth on your bid process and markup/margins? I work alone (1200sqft) and been self employed since 2017. So I’m still learning and trying to maximize my profit. I like networking with other small business owners. It really beneficial for everyone.

@@thedude6650 absolutely buddy i sure do apprecaite you watching and hope you subscribed. We are trying out best to be consistent with content but just tough when were busy and going 100 directions at the moment. Thanks again for watching

Yes sir we planned that all out perfectly. LOL. Actually no we didn’t it just worked out that way as we can’t put posts anymore than 60’ apart. Where did you purchase your saw?

@@MattcoMetalWorks Trick Tools I tried to post a link, but I dont think the platform liked it. I have the Evolution S380CPS 15 inch TCT Chop Saw. I use it almost everyday in my shop and love it.

@@davidf8663 going to check that out right now. Trick tools is a great source. And most often they have great prices.

So sorry you didn't get anything out of our videos. I'll check out your videos and see what tips and tricks i can pick up to get better at our video quality. Thanks so much for watching

No sir it’s my trade but I was looking into this so I can learn about codes do’s and don’ts thank you for taking your time to reply the Job done after all is bad ass I would never criticize you for that

@@carlosinzunza3618 i understand, we'll try to include codes and dimensions more if that will help. Thats why we make videos is to help others who may be doing similar work for the first time and need help,
