The old retired welder,going threw some old video's lol I knew you ironed your own shirts I used sta-flo they was so stiff they would stand up by themself see I had a stroke they found a blood clot on my brain it affected my left side the funny thing is I was left handed I was one hell of welder now I can't even write my name you bring back a lot of memories waiting on some new videos of my fence lol
Wow...that looks like a lot of work for a fence. Impressed to see tradesmen that take such pride in their work!! Something you don’t see much anymore. Great job sir.
Nice and clean job.. I been a welder for over 15 years and I just started doing my own business on welding and fabrication.. The only thing I don’t know is how much To charge for the job..great video
I never thought about using electric fence wire grate ideas that was my problem 1 day fence on,next day over 3.5 to 5 in out of whack 1 way or another took me 3 day before got calm days to set all my post I've got about 1200ft to go I'm going to try it
I use a 5/32 for that kind of fit, just one pass. It is easier to cap with a 5/32 with a 6010 root in there but sometimes you don’t need to run a bead there.
Man that's a lot of welding, but looks just like mine when I use to weld em,mild steel uphill or down hill maybe even one sml pass with 3/32 7018 but to each his own but I love your work you remind me of my self a long time ago stay safe
CLC knee pads eh? Liked their open 10ish x 16ish open tool bags with shoulder strap enough that after 18-20 years of use I replaced it with the same tool bag (same bag with a couple changes they made). Still fits in my locker at end of day, tools right where I want them (unless someone else moves them, then they "lost" "forever"). The guys in the shop know how to "throw me off." CLC, good stuff even though mine isn't leather.
Never mind on how you cut the pipes I just saw your video from last week, and it answered my question on the pipe joints. Clean job it's nice I learned something new with that hole cutter on the torch.👍
interesting to see how a pipe fence looks so nice. I used to work with a guy who retubed boilers and kept all the old tubes for fencing at his own place etc
I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and just now realized you’re in Stillwater too! I was just at Stillwater Steel last week. We have land out by Coyle and I’m welding up my first ever pipe fence tomorrow using your tips!
it stinks to go from making the big money to doing smaller jobs but if its close to home its better and being your own boss is priceless so the trade off is worth it. good video and real nice fence
I am running 5/32 6011 root & 7018 final pass. Was a welder over 20 years ago and am a bit rusty. Never hear of 8010, are you using a different rod for the root pass then 8010 or vise versa?
When I go by the miles of good pipe fence wasted delineating property lines or protecting corn fields from escaping, and think about all the times I really needed a good pipe corral to work cows in but didn't have it because "money" or whatever, it makes me sick. Nice job by the way.

And that's where cordless tools and nightfall let the have nots, have.
I'm curious about some things. Does 8010 weld up like 6010? Fast freeze and with iron powder in the flux? 6010 was always the go to rod for root passes for open root welds. I noticed that you're welding down hand. I guess that would help you lay down a smoother bead and with that big of rod (5/32) that would help you lay down a lot of bead with one pass. As well as everything seems to be fit up (nice work) that very likely helps too. Also you're welding on clean pipe so that's helpful too - keeps contamination down. You also don't have to have the welds inspected like you would on pipeline welding. I also liked to run a number 10 gold lens. The only thing is that the gold could scratch very easily so you had to be really careful when you cleaned the lense so that you wouldn't scratch the gold. Even small scratches could let light in and burn your eyes. Did I hit on anything right or did I just blow it all out my ass?
I've found that if you have a post a lil off it works to heat it at the very bottom with a torch (on the side that you want it to move) get more then half red hot and then throw a cup of water on it and it will draw plumb most of the time. Sometimes a lil too far
Nice quality work. Can't financially justify 2 passes, 1 w/ 80 series rod on schedule 40 pipe w/ static pressure, way over match on filler rod. Anyway you will figure it out. Oh, 35+yrs welding, did a bit of pipe fence in my day tho.
U ever hear about drill pipe being radioactive or look into any of that? Heard something for a Nieghbor but I figure once it’s in the ground holdin fence it can’t be doing you any harm
Hey DW lol in one of your videos you were talking about those really cool pliers. Swag ? They were silver, I tried finding them on SWI. But couldnt find them, i love your channel, subscribed, new to welding / fencing in Prescott Arizona yeeeeeeeeeeehaw Thank you
Just realized who you were. I stayed with Chip and Nancy while I was working at the pump station for trans-canada line. I think we we're fixing some fence where the blue roan horses were at. Tell Chip and Nancy hi
I like 2024s..was long ago frrocraft 24...they have rutile. and,iron powder..all positional..okay for thin..galvo welding....I only use 2.5mm rods..good on thin sections..makes a big weld due to iron powder...very similar to welcraft..e6013..and ferocrat 11 mixed..so is a iron powder cellulose for mix all positional..so no slag holes...okay for vertical down..no good on hard steels..for hard Steel..welding use low hydrogen or stainless steel rods..don't forget a quality carbon respirator for welding grinding.cutting..cover front of neck so not get skin damage..at late life..
Well looks real good. I want to see close up how you actually weld it please.even tho the experienced welders will know how,some of us are less experienced .
Hey A Ross I saw you screwing the c perkins up this is something to think about dont look up you will get metal shavings in your eyes thanks for all the good videos.
Very nice work. We live in the choctaw area and would sure like to have fence across the front of our acreage like this with a gate installed. About what do y'all charge for 300 ft straight run with a nice gated entry for the front of our acreage... .
Hell yeah man hopefully we can do a collaboration video soon bro big fan watching u since I was going to welding school now I’m broke out and welding 🤜🏽
I know you love stick welding but have you ever tried flux core welding on pipe fence. I got a buddy in California to try it. He is now always grabbing his fronious 2200 and a spool of flux core. 30% faster and welds up like 6010. Great videos!!

@@larryvollmar8763 You weld electrode negative with that?
Austin, the fence looks great. Some would look at that and say it's just a fence. They dont get how much work goes into it. I have been in welding a long time, I am in the sales side of it now. I have to ask, 8010? For fence pipe. Keep up the good fight. Stay well!!!
Do you find yourself wanting to stamp initials in your welds? :) I was an operator for a SF bay area refinery and would watch the welders weld. I've since retired and bought myself a Miller 110v hobby type mig. Having a blast learnin'.... plasma unit arriving today via UPS. :)
Well done Austin , joints and fence look great ! Amen at 8:00 , both complement each other and the small joints on the fence pipe help keep a feller in shape as you have to move fast compared to big pipe . Beautiful countryside your working in ! I was born in Stillwater while Dad was attending Oklahoma State back in the day . Would love to get back there one of these day's . Hey I forgot to ask , what kind of disc were you using on the dewalt grinder to polish up with ?
Digging the vids man ! I'm a fellow fencer...but always messed with square tubing. Whats the rough guesstimate for you to build 10 foot for the total job?
With the welding and sanding,wire wheeling and painting,gonna run close to 25 G! BTW,PAINTERS DOING SPLATTER,WELDERS DEAL WITH SPATTER,just sayin,LOL LOOKS GOOD!!
We just set the posts for some working corrals yesterday so we can start welding tomorrow, what rods should I use? Could I get away with running a pass with 1/8 6010 and then running another pass over top of it with the same rod?
I see from the comments it’s SCH40 pipe. Is there a spec for the metal or pipe type? I’d like to build pipe fence but don’t want to end up with pipe made of junk metal that will rust/rot out in a few years. I can also get ahold of oil field drill pipe. Thx!
I´m having some difficulties MIG welding flat steel bar to 1" sucker rods... whenever i apply some force to it, it tears appart a small layer of the sucker rod. Do you know what the problem might be? do i need to turn the amps up to make the wled go deeper? is MIG welding not the way to weld these two steels? I´m kinda lost here...Thanks a lot!
I know u may not see this but I was wandering 8f u could take some closeups of how u do the qeld itself. I've been building my own; im a very poor farmer but believe in good fence. I keep making droopy puddles at the bottom. I start out good at the top and end up shitty. Always end up globbing it in towards the end.
I do the coping cause I don't have a portable torch. I do have a harbor freight generator and a 220 stick. My copes never fit as nice as your blown holes.
I'm curious why you use pipeliner to weld pipe fence with? Around here hyp+ is quite a lot cheaper, like $50 a box cheaper, and plenty sufficient on pipe fence. I guess I just thought I'd throw that out there, maybe reduce your operating costs a bit.
I am just addicted to it more or less. Lol from welding on pipeline. It welds soo much smoother than 6010. But I should look into the hippy rod if it’s cheaper. Thanks!
@@arosswelding No you're right it welds wonderful I personally just was curious if your preference towards it was that strong or if you maybe just hadn't realized hippy was quite bit cheaper. And maybe in your neck of the woods it isn't. Seems like its all but obsolete in the oil and gas industry with the exception of batteries and such.
