Integrated Gate Hinge for huge Gates 

Chris, Looks great. The machinic in me is wondering why they weren't drilled and tapped for grease fittings.

My husband always preferred stick welding. He never could get comfortable with the wire feed welder‘s even though I bought him an awesome as a gift but he just couldn’t get comfortable with it. Always went back to stick welding. Shorten up the wheelbase on our trucks. He go next-door and roll the tank. I go down and get the inSan in Orange County California because septic trucks and toilet trucks have vacuum under it so they wouldn’t second one thing I worried about he was always getting down in the tank and he didn’t wear a respirator. He was 29 years older than me, but he did live to be a week for being 85 years old so even all the crazy stuff he did with his welding hand popping hazmat just saying he had a good life. And I miss him a lot. and I watch your wife with you on the pallet. No, he put me on the pallet to go paint something and I’m afraid of heights and when you get to the top, there is nothing to hold onto and then was with his homemade forklift. I love that guy and we did have a good life together. And when he got what he was having trouble, he could walk me through how to fix something tell me how to do it and I wish I could remember half the things he taught me for. What is 74 I don’t know, but I really do it.

I will have to remember that installation. I like the idea of pinning those post in like that where you can lift the entire gate off and do a repair if need be.

Outstanding. Quarter bubble magic trick was 👍😎

Sir, this is better than any Discovery show ever! I’m addicted to this now. Glad I got plenty to binge watch. You’re a true craftsman.

I like the hing system, very slick.👍👍

I Love watching true Professional’s at work ❤. When you’re good you’re good 👍. The way you think things out reminds me of my own thought process. It’s a beautiful gate. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🙏

What a great hinge system this is for handling cattle most particularly horses who tend to be really touchy entering and when contained within stock yard gates and holding chutes, no nasty scalping gate hinge knuckles protruding. You sir are setting the new gold standard for stockyards design courtesy of USA initiative and good old know how that hasnt been destroyed by the HR Secret police,department. Your No 1 trade assistant anticipates your every move, he is a keeper.

That was an awesome idea. It takes a true fabricator to come up with an out of the box idea that is clean and efficient. spectacular work.

I enjoy just watching these videos. I have never welded anything!...and I admire this trade skill. keep up the great work Chris!

Enjoy the videos you put up. Id recommend a tape measure clip that goes on your belt so it doesn’t mess up your pockets. I use it when i pipe fit. It’s made by holster. Seeing your weld videos really up my weld game.

Really like your channel. Even after years of being a welder/fitter, I constantly crave welding information. Only just found you on RU-vid a few weeks ago but I have to say you have a way with teaching. I always visit your channel to learn something new. From one welder to another, thanks man. We need more folks like you teaching the young bloods the ropes.

Very nice work Boss! I’ve built several gates but I love them hinges!! Something like that will last for a very long time. Much respect bossman

Quality content as usual, thanks Chris

I like how the band was playing in the background are used to be on band in. This was something I like before going into this trade that was like my back up plan since I used to be passionate back in high school

Great job!

Hey Taylor my name is Cameron Hidalgo and I go the school at haughton high school I go the welding school at Bossier Parish Schools for Technology and Innovative Learning for welding.I know how to SMAW, FCAW, GMAW, and GTAW.I watch your videos regularly and I appreciate what you do.If you see this comment I would love to hear what you have to say I've learned alot THANK YOU

Another ARTIST at work. Amazing talent and ingenious way to set that all up from start to finish. Now there is MASTER talent at its best

You should do a video on your stinger. I'm looking at getting a Stubby Rod Saver and don't know anything about them.

You could be a surgeon with those steady hands. I never knew a stick weld could look that good. Great job

Best gate Hinge Ive ever seen,WOW..........................................................................Fort Worth,Tx

Beautiful job. Well thought out

Very slick, a true professional in his craft!

Nice job love the freehand notching, that's when you "know" the welder is experienced.

Top shelf, no dust. Really nice/clean job right there. Also looks like you've got yourself a good hand along side you.

Nicely done!!!

Nice job😊

Oh hell yeah, I need a couple gates. Love the 180-swing and hinge integration. I may start smaller though, one-lane traffic and all. Gotta scare up some old rusty pipes. Thanks for the ideas. I see you got the arc-shot camera setup working. Good stuff.

Very nice. The hinge is awesome.

Another good one brother keep them coming your the man on welding videos

Good tip on the cut off wheel thanks

Great job on that gate. Ingenious way to keep it strong with that pipe in a pipe method.

nice work I usually do my gates like that when it has a long cantilever.

I have just the setting for a gate like this, The last two big wooden gates I put there got ripped out by some one with a 4x4 so a nice heavy pole like that and an integrated hinge should do the trick nicely...you never know they might rip their back axle off if they try it again. Thanks for sharing

Throw some grease fittings in there

Looks good

Such good content! Wish I started welding earlier. Thank you sir!

Awesome job

Good job,hallo from holland

Good teacher

seeing your work process and thinking is fantastic

Nice set of gates.

Well done 👏

Awesome

Great information 👍 thank you

Came out nice. Editing was pretty cool too

Great design

Genius design for the hinges!

Looks great

If Timothy Olyphant and Billy Bob Thorton had a child... it's you! With that said.. Dude, I'm a subscribed and checking out all your content.. Good info, well presented. Thanks and keep it up. Great info!

Nice work man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What a gate, she'll keep in the cattle sir very NICE

Awesome job.

11:58 #1 NO, NO! DON'T FORGET YOUR SAFETY GLASSES!!! A career welder knows that. LOL But I do like this for a gate. I retired from welding and am building my dream farm. Gates included...

Awesome gate

The video editing you got going on is upping your game brother.

Pretty slick doing the off set to open onto themselves

Nice job there for sure.

Thats badass. One big o hinge.

Super nice

Very nice work

Finally I founded good welding video

That some good welding

did u put grease zerks in? we have been building corrals and the zerk is a must looks great making my boys watch your stuff so they can learn before they do thanks

Looks great to me and pretty good ideal. Its nice to watch in learn other trades. I did welding in high school and liked it, i just bought me a stick welder and would like to get into business how you are. Im on my way but still need to learn more. Like i said i like learning all trades i do hvac and handy man stuff. Im good with my hands. Anyways mice work keep the videos coming

Add an integrated fold up or retractable foot that when the gate is closed the foot drops down, locks into place and would allow 10 people to climb on the gate without damaging the gate. Thoughts?

This is great idea for a project that I’m working on for my gates but I’m struggling on the settings what was the settings on your welder?

Really enjoyed the video, thank you for the great content. Great looking welds what rod did you use?

Subscribed😮!!

They may need casters eventually but you use good material and practice ❤

awesome video! like to watch your channel while im cooking! hi from russia!

You could've easily made the pin and cap one piece but the extra step will allow the gate to still move if the gate barrel ever seized to the pin. Well worth it and super clean looking.

What I use is a holesaw drill in the middle of the pipe what ever pipe u using go one sizes bigger on holesaw you might like how I do my stainless are monel pipe

Beautiful gate. Nice welding. Hinge style is genius. All the pipes are round, then you use a piece of square for a cross brace. Why did you do that ? I can't finger it out. My thoughts are... isn't that a mismatch ?

Just curious, do you ever use a vibratory plate on a skip loader to drive posts in? I lived in NE Nevada, and we would get -20 degrees in the winter. Post that were concreted in tended to heave eventually, but the posts that were driven with the the plate, never budged. We also used drill pipe and would sink the posts 4 ft. deep. Really nice build on the gate and hinges!

Damn Good 👍

I'm kinda surprised you didn't add support wheels to the ends, considering the swung weight.😀

Curious his process for setting the posts in the ground with concrete.

Thanks for sharing you videos! Curious, what brand of torch pipe cutter did you use?

I was wondering who built those. They look good.

Like the concept. Did you concrete those posts in the ground?

Did you design that gate hinge ? I never saw one like that before.

I'm wondering if the angled bracing will keep those long gates from sagging. Post holes seem shallow to me, too. My honest opinion.

Do you think it would hold up had you not done the off set? And welded the gate on the roadside of the hinge post? That way the gate would've been on the outside of the post, and it would swing open to end up on the inside of the post. ???

Nice looking project, I understand omitting the grease fittings, lazy empty headed people rarely service them with lube. They end up rusting closed and won't allow grease to pass through. Your cap will prevent water entry that could promote rust. I likely would've smeared a heap of marine grade grease on the internals of the hinge before putting it together, but I think you have a very well made lifetime gate here. As long as some drunk don't slam their vehicle into it. It may be a good idea to fasten a few reflectors along the span of the top cord just in case. Now go do this on a much larger scale along our southern border please! And don't forget to electrify it before you leave.

Am curios about How much donyou charge for that job Greetings fron phoenix az✌️

I think the only thing I would have done differently was to drill and tap a hole in the hinge with a zerk fittng - so that it could be greased. But that is a great design!!!

Nice job, but No gussets ? I luv gussets ! LOL

Nice that thing isn't going to be bent easily, and since it's a real center, it's not a bracket that could get knocked around

Bon Boulo 😆😆👍👍

Hey, when you open the gates they seem you'll be hitting the first two parking right side and left.

That Hinge is the best hinge i have aeen made.

Awesome ! Would it be beneficial to put some grease zerks in?

Did you string line across the opening to get them the exact same height?

Algorithm comment. Cause you’re channel deserves 100k

How u doing man

No hot pass?

Theres no doubt, people, especially kids will ride those gates, time will tell if it puts and stress on it and causes dragging/binding on the Hinges.

What stinger are you running?
