Taking it outside for the day and doing an on site test fit. I rented a welder to get all my angles and everything set in its exact place before sending off to powder coating. I think I need to invest in a mobile welder!
I'am the same way, someone lets me borrow something and bring it back better. Mike will appreciate you doing some repairs to his trailer. In fact, I bet he would let you use it anytime. Hopefully people are paying attention, that is how friends treat friends !
It’s impressive how you are able to think on your feet and problem solve; so important when you’re in the field. The railing really suits that style of home as well.
the guy just wanting to help finally realizes the Lady doth not need Help!! Hey, my 20 year old daughter is taking welding classes at her university for theater set design..im a big encourager for her to learn as much as she can. I just purchased a multi process welder ARCCAPTAIN 200 , stick, mig and tig ..to help her practice and in the meantime, learn myself. Will be watching more of your content..
Rachel love your work and how you communicate, I retired early at 58 from construction, so kinda miss it but some days I feel blessed I was fortunate to do so! Keep tge great work and love your videos Cheers 🍻
Your work looks great.I would suggest getting yourself a 120 mig welder with inner shield wire.Makes field railing work much quicker and quieter.Nice work.
Great video they way you explained everything made it easy to understand the whole process of heat flame straightening thanks alot. I got to straighten out a warped structural steel channel tomorrow at work.
For what it is worth I suggest you try the Pferd .030 cutting wheels I have been using them exclusively for years with no grinder guard and have had no issues, and the super thin thickness makes a huge difference in cutting speed and accuracy. This is just my honest $.02 I am not a rep or influencer or whatever. Keep up the good work!
you need to go around to all the apartment complex in your town and give them an estimate to do repairs then you can quickly pay for a mobile welder. I did lots of work for apartment complexes after I got out of welding school and made lots of money doing it.
I seen a ful fence done around a business, they finished it 2 months ago. I was there last week and it's already rusting. I have paint jobs that last for years!
Careful of your back, Love. You could have have made a makeshift rail/ramp for that toolbox and dragged it onto the trailer. End of the day, you still got it up there 🤷♂️💪🏽. 🤣🤣I've known women who've said "don't mind my nails" because they're chipped or rough looking, but NOT for the mere fact of them being painted at all 😂💖💗❤ I love it that you're doing install videos. Thank you.
For what your doing you might want to get the Esab engine drive or the Tomahawk 210 a few times renting that unit and youll pay for one of these. I run the 210 but both units are the size of a decent generator and are on wheeled frames would be perfect for this work. Oh and both run 6010 just fine, and final note I know you like miller i heard you say that but the cost for a comparable Hobart or Lincoln is between 2-3k more.
Love watching your welding videos .. I swear I could watch you work and weld all day 😊 .. good job Girl we need more girl welders like you .. keep the videos coming .. 👍🏼
Here’s something that will help you, when hammer drilling concrete or stone, don’t push on the drill much more than just keeping a little pressure to keep it in hammer .. give it a shot next time., the theory being the drill or hammer needs to be able to move away from the surface in order to gain momentum to hit it again., also your bits will last just as long as they don’t overheat, excess pressure only reduces the hammer impact, and causes more friction heat, these bits do not cut the surface there is nothing sharp there it’s a blunt chisel end..
It's funny I spent 5-6 years doing Structural Steel and all other kinds of steel fabrication but I have no idea what those 50lb boxes of welding rod we used cost. That was 20 years ago when I was just a kid, I'm sure whatever we paid it's 2 or 3 times more today.
Great, Steal is hart and honest! Do you need an practism Mechanik and Master, Hardware developer for Cars and Motorbikes formal also in Steelproduktion as Helper?
Why don't you invest in one of those little 110V mig welders! That's what every one of our erection crews used for handrail installation! Seriously, they work great! You could also invest in a little generator to power the welder! No more welder rentals!
did not see you pick the deadman holder. when you loaded the truck Have you ever used pam cooking spray to keep splatter from sticking to your other metal when welding.
hi rachel i love what u doing with the chevy truck love the new floor pans i wanna follow u along when is the next video avail.thanks EDD avid follower please reply have a good day
Curious of your safety: couldn’t you get between the stick and the ground clamp when your touching the railing? I realize you had gloves on , but what about your bare skin.
I’ve never been able to weld stick on thin gauge material. I always end up blowing holes😂. That sounds kind of thin. What wall thickness is that material?
WOW YEP THOSE MOUNTAINS IN BACKROUND AT YOUR SHOP/ PARADISE.I WORKING FOR LOUSY SANITATION CO IN BRIARCLIFF MANOR NY. NICE JOB ON RAILINGS YOU MADE IT PERFECT FITUP.
As far as welding equipment goes Lindy or Hobart was good then there was Lincoln everybody hated Millers the reason and we're talking 30 years ago is that when you trying to make that money every second or third pull you would stick the tip I know very few of you would actually experience 600 inches at 42 volt 045 wire but when you stick the tip you just messed the tip up these tips was about the size of your pinky finger but that's why the piece rate guys didn't like Miller today you have disadvantage I mean the advantage do you have the cross country the pipe pros and the big Biggs no the old big 40 I like welding with them currently weld with SAE 350 but that new stuff my buddy just bought a cross-country give 11,000 cash for it 6 months later this goddamn thing needs $4,000 in boards same thing that can be said for all the Millers in the Lincoln's new machines I wouldn't have them they're reliable for a time but once you've had them on a trailer or in the back of your truck for a while they get banged around they're not built for that so for me now I don't care what it is will it start and can I make a world with it and build me some income I don't give damn what it is
