Thanks for the effort you've gone to, in making sure your hands and tools don't hide what you're doing from the viewer. Few RU-vidrs bother with it and it really makes a difference.
Nice demo - this technique is good for steel furniture etc , and when the steel is left bare , silicon bronze brazes joints look great when ground and sanded .
Doesn't this create a distressed metal corner with twice the welding and no additional strength? It also created more grinding. The time I save by cutting 45* angles, I can use for grinding the welds smooth. Cool geometry lesson though and a neat way to interpret a corner.
Depends if its structural or not, if not you could probably put two small beads on the bottom and call it a day if its an art project and just supposed to look cool
As an artisan I build custom gates and will apply your technique to help showcase my craftsmanship. I'll also charge more for my work and this will separate me from the status quo. Thanks for your video !
mah dude. your time is money. the amount of time that he spent with a grinder just so that he could bend the piece into that shape. you're better off just figuring out how long you want your angled piece to be then run your marks to form a Y shape. don't worry about having to bend the pieces. You're welding the piece anyways and companies make flapdisks for a reason. sincerely from a fabracator with gate building experience.
I like the appearance of it. I think that it has a nicer appearance than the normal 45 degree miter. What he really did was to do two 22.5 degree miters for the corner. I think that this would look good at the top of a gate when you are using 1" x 2" rectangular tubing.
Worked in a machine shop for 20 years doing layout and fabrication and had one print in all that time that called for this type of corner. Never say never.
I'd like to see a structural analysis of this with a good weld. I feel as though this would be superior in resisting a collapsing bending force than a traditional v-cut.
It's not, it's much weaker. Because of all the extra welding, you with this method get a very large area that is significantly weakened, both because the welds themselves are weaker but also because you weaken all the metal in the areas around the welds as well. So rather than a one seam that, less than an inch wide, you have this huge area that is several inches of just plain weakness. There's a reason you don't see these kind of joints in the professional world, because they serve no function. Regardless if you're after strength, looks or price, there are better options. Like, if you want the looks, do a 45 degree mitre and you use a router to get the look you want with whatever radius. If you want cheapest, just do the 45 mitre. And if you want strength, you do a sqare join weld. Even if we assume you need the straight inner flat for mounting, then you'd still be better off with doing 3 separate pieces with 2 v cuts so you avoid the bending. It's a pretty bad corner, but it's better than this.
@@radialorbits So instead of simply using the right bend, you'd rather use the wrong bend that you then have to add supports to, adding even more cost and time to the project? And it would be heavier than you'd needed it to be too so it's not even beneficial even as a personal project where time wasted is usually not a concern. And the supports means more material so more expensive too. Personal projects like that are already more expensive than you need them to be, why make them even more expensive?
@@danieljonsson8095 ooh gosh no, I'd never do this. Takes too long even for a personal project. But adding fish plates or gussets does seem fitting, don't it? 🤣 Time wasting for a worse result
Hey this was fun to watch. It's a fine outcome. And frankly an "Impressive" approach. Over 40 years here doing all manner of metal working. And I'd be thrilled to visit your shop if it was in the same county or the next. On a different note: I can't make up my mind if it's more fun to completely ignore a$$'hats like Grumpy One. Or argue with them till the cows come home. Work like yours will easily withstand the abrasion of the Ignorant. So maybe best grab some metal and conjure up another terrific idea for another vid. Stay Sharp Now.
you can do that or cut out 2 V shapes, personally this method takes more time, maybe a second pass to fill were the rounded surface meet the edge. Also consider you cant use shorter stock tubes and every mistake is quite costly. I usually start with the longer pieces so i can reuse them if i make error, cut wrong size or angle in the wrong direction.
@@RecoveryRoomRestorations What kind of welding rod would you use for this application? Would you make the gaps larger, or would you leave them at 1/8" or 1/4" gap?
More aesthetically pleasing depending on what your building, sure 2 45’ are simpler but if your building a tabletop or desk that corner isn’t sticking out to catch you as you walk by and shows more craftsmanship than the simple corner. That’s just my opinion.
@@rixogtr that’s not at all my perspective. As someone who knows nothing at all about welding, I do appreciate the aesthetic: I’ve seen too many unsightly welded exterior corners
@@TheEugevanz I know, it was more about a joke 😁 I was referring to what people say these days - “clean”, which is funny to me. Also from a fabricator point of view, this method is so tedious and lengthy. Might be cool for a video on a RU-vid, but practically it’s totally useless. By the time he’s got all that marked an average fabricator would probably have it all tacked and ready for welding.
Right over your head. Did you actually watch the video ? Some of us are artisans and we get paid accordingly and our customers appreciate our approach.
Because most people in Europe use cm and not mm, because the conversion from one to the other is trivial. Anyway, with that speed square, you have no mm resolution.
