Making a Template to Miter Pipe 

Thank you for posting this tutorial. I asked myself "Do I have to use calculus to make a template that I could wrap around a pipe?" I did a search " how to make a template of 2 pipes intersecting at right angles" and your video came up.

Thanks for a refresher course on this. I have done it before, but got stuck. Now I can walk into work in the morning with confidence and finish my layout! Thanks Again!!!

I have been looking for information like this for a long time and here it is! Very understandable and well presented. Many, many thanks.

I like every video that teaches me a new technique, even if it's really simple. Like how you divided the angles on the circle with the compass. GENIUS

That was old school awesome! I can see why you wouldn't want to do that for a production run of 100 fittings, but for us backyard garage fabricators? PERFECT!

I learned this 30 years ago in trade school but haven't had to use it in quite some time, thank you for refreshing my memory. I just used auto cad using your video to make my template and got it done. Thanks again.

Great job this is the layout I learned in my apprenticeship and now our apprenticeship doesn't teach layout anymore they only teach how to program a burn table I'm glad you take pride in the education of our youth I hope they find this!

I was a combination pipe welder and fitter in the offshore industry for five different oil companies and this type of information was wanted by a lot of welders that were good welders but not fitters they used to buy the templates already made up from a man out in Mexico that was sold in a welding shop out of Venice Louisiana and Matthews Louisiana templates were a high desirable thing desired by many welders who did not know this type of knowledge on how to make their own templates but having this knowledge saves you a lot of money because you can make your own templates of every type of angle before you even go off shore of course there are other tricks to take one pipe and sleeve it into another on a horizontal or any type of angle there is a trick that you can do with multiple welding rods if you don't want to draw out a template at all and it's quick and it's very fast but I don't have the time or the means here to go into that but this gentleman here that posted this video is doing welders a lot of favors here by showing them how to make their own templates especially when you go for a job where they want you to be a fitter as well as a welder I'm retired now and have been for years but I love the trade of welding and fitting

I learned this 35 years ago but haven't used it in awhile. Great refresher course. People be surprised at what they can learn if they listen.😊

you couldn't have explained this any better! Great Job!

Most shops are using software nowadays, but knowing these layout techniques give us a better foundation for our trades....

Thanks, hadd to cut scaff pipe to 66 and 32 degree angle and felt pretty smart being able to use this. Felt equally stupid not remembering or seeing the use of learning this 15 years ago in school.

Such a great video. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with the world, it's exactly what I needed to know.

Thank you thank you so much Dave Osland ,. A real mentor you're amazing

I’m 27 just learning how to weld. I decided to build a swing set out of 4 1/2” pipe for my kids. I only have a cut off saw to cut it with, which has a 45 degree angle to cut on the base. But I really wanted to make sure (because the pipe was so large) that I could lay out the correct angle on the pipe to double check where my blade laid. Thank you for the information. Feels good to learn things like this.

Brilliant piece of work

Very nice tutorial . I've used this method to mark sona tube before. You simplified the instructions very nicely

Very good tutorial and such a unique technique. Thanks for imparting your skill.

Thanks for the explanation. You can fold the sheet in half along the long line when you cut.

This knowledge is helping to those people which are need to learn. Thanks a lot

Excellent step by step sequence I still teach sheet metal layout old school seems to be new school You are a excellent craftsmen and skillful sheet metal worker

Thank you! Clear and precise.

Thank you for sharing this knowledge! If has helped with a current job.

Very interesting process. Thank you for sharing. By the way, I use SolidWorks software with sheet metal option. I unfold the cut and print scale 1:1

9.42" would be closer to 7/16ths, or .437". Thank you for the video, a friend and I used it this evening to lay out 12.75" dia pipe for a weird angle, all we had was a long and short measurement, no angle, but after some Keystone Kops antics, we pulled it off

Wow thanks for the video helped immensely

Wow good explanation , thank you

Very easy to comprehend, you do great work. When i was an Apprentice learning my trade,what happened to the formula that we were once taught ie, Mean diameter x 3.1416..??

Very clear and much undrrstood..thanks

Superb instruction ........Thanks for your time.

How can i get the length of the elbow or the vertical marking that you make

Very beautiful sir you are a great teacher for me love you sir thanks for teaching.

what about the layout of eccentric dummy support. I want to know how to layout the eccentric dummy

when you use this leave one side longer and overlap the wrap. on heavy wall pipe don't cut the shape and just center punch through the wrap

Dave, I did not see how you got your second set of arcs I saw you adjusted the instrument but did not see what you referenced

Gracias por el tutorial y muchos éxitos

It would be excellent to download a video teacher where step by step detail how to draw interferences to different degrees but in the same tube. since it would help many of the beginners in this branch

Thank you sir, Practically small bore it is worked but big bore possible?

thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you sir.. Excellent ezplanation.. cheers from srilanka👍

Thank you very much for your guide line.

hello, I want u to mark 45° lateral on the pipe with 16 or more lines.

I love your video..pipe fitter from phillippines...

Awesome video as of right now a subscriber my only question is when laying out the drawing of the pipe how do I know the length of the pipe I understand size but I don't know the length ???

Great job!!!!!

Thank you for this video, much appreciated your efforts to make it clear and concise, subscribed!

Thanx buddy u solved my problem thanx a lot....

awesome instruction keep it up.. man...

very cool. Thanks you!

I have watched a pipe fitter using the wrap method and a pipe fitters manual and it was far quicker and easier but your approach is interesting.

Can you make a video on how to make a layout for saddle pipe? Having trouble finding a good video on how to properly explain how to do it.

Gracias de Guadalajara Mex .

Nice sir tq for sharing...

Thank you for sharing and I would to say, is what they call a mitering pipe method? This a great learning show you have.

How do you do a 3 peuce segmented 90

Very good From France Merci

Thank you good job

I would add glass tape onto your tracing So you can have it for a indeterminable life. Nicely explained !

Thank you!

have you special sweep saddle 90° elbow calculation

For those curious when he marked the x's for the halfway point theres no set distance just make sure you dont make a mark and then change it on the second or it will be off. I learned that just now

can you show me how to cut a degree from elbo ??

Can you do this same lay out for any degree?

Sir, how to make template for two curved pipe joining together

Pipe fitters blue book helps make this super easy.

Good template

you threw me back to high school!!! :) thanks!! where's the T square ruler??? :P Excellent method!!

how do you set the compass up to divide the semi circle into the parts? just divide in half over and over?

I'm looking for a video to help me in the field.

Thank you sir

Thanks for the vedio itu could really help me in my carrier,,great

Useful!

muy bueno mi amigo

this was very helpful. I ended up finding a calculator online bit it's great to know how to do it. What I would really like to see is how to cope square tubing to fit pipe. I have a project and I need to mate a 4x3? or 2 to a 16 inch pipe.

ótimo vídeo

yes..i like it thanks

thank you...👍

Wow, that was clear, thanks ! (Now, how do I apply this method on a 16cm diameter wood log ? *looking for a big enough piece of paper*)

thank you very much friend

nice video...just subscribed '

Very nice

And could you make video on how to make mal for the main hole cover with 28 or 29 holes or etc.. for main hole,, Iam interested itu would help me much in my job,,Thankyou,,

HI Dave - Watched this several times. Your instruction is very clear. One thing I missed and haven't figured out. How did you determine the length of the initial segment you divided into 8 sections? My finished template was too short because my initial segment was too short. Thanks

Very nice sar

완벽해요.good!
