Stairway inspection problems (weld it back to code!) 

"Children crave labor". best line evah!! Thanks Ant, you never fail to entertain.

That particular fire code is an interesting one, in the case of schools the idea behind it is having the landing large enough to get someone in a wheelchair evacuated onto the balcony into a breathable atmosphere and await fire rescue. While still leaving enough room for people to walk by. Atleast that's per KY firs code

Great video. I love the real world raw no BS style of your videos, showing your mistakes etc. I'm only a hobby welder but I have learned tons from watching your videos and get good entertainment at the same time. Win win! Keep up the grind.

I like how you take on awkward and tricky jobs. Top marks young man!

As a stainless fabricator, i absolutely love learning "real world" welding, like this. Im stuck in a damn chair tig welding big pharma bullsh*t all day

One of my fovorite jobs was building walkways for overhead cranes, lots of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" tubing and 1/8" diamond plate. I was/am particular about making things that will not snag or cut when people run their hands on railings etc.

Hey man I’ve been watching you for years through your journey! I probably have watched every single video and always had a dream of starting my own mobile welding business, and definitely had some inspiration from you! Well last week I became a business owner, and things are already off to a good start. I’m still working my full time gig, but took the steps to start er up 💪 I know it doesn’t happen overnight

Good shit. I like how your videos are legit and not all show. You display flaws and mistakes. I find it more entertaining and educational. Keep it up.

After 5 years of shop welding and watching your videos it keeps motivating me just don’t know where to start tbh . I can’t wait for more videos ! God bless

I'm a retired welder. Your videos are like being back on the job. I miss welding. Keep up the good work.

glad youre helping out good people like this. lol dont let internet osha see you riding that pallet jack haha. thanks for the awesome vid.

Great video! I’ve used the hobart fabshield 21b, absolutely love it when I can’t use shielding gas. The wind is brutal where I’m at too!

24:55 concrete shrinks when it cures so that’s why there’s the small separation line. That’s also why control joins are a necessity on big pours.

Thank you for all the information you give out in your videos I currently work in asphalt most my coworkers do welding on the side this is giving me a lot more confidence in starting my own welding side jobs

Have u considered getting a portable band saw? I like it because I can save money by not having to use the ocxy acetylene. And definitely more durable than grinder disc's. And for the flux core I prevent it from rusting by putting it in a tuperwear. Anyways keep the great videos up! I appreciate the tips and tricks u share with us!

Hey Anthony Grampaearl Here. I haven't talked to you in along time. I just found your channel. I love it. You are doing great and keeping it real. I love your drive, your attitude, and your Getter Done.

Your videos are always good. But lately they have been much better. Keep on push and rod brother.

handicap accessible stairs... good use of time and effort lol. Regardless of the silliness of the need for this work I appreciate the quality and attention to the small details. Good Job

Watched the whole damn thing Rockstar! AND THEN, the best part, got me a tee shirt and sticker!! I believe the quality of your merch is gonna be quality like your work!! F'kin A Rockstar I can't wait!!!! skys the limit bro!

Love the video Anthony love these on the job videos! Keep it up man.

Lincoln Murex 7014 works great on ornamental iron work.

Fantastic video as always appreciate your time to film and share it. Like seeing the mistakes people make we are all human. But how can the guy doing his job not pick up on the picket spacings. Keep up the great work 👍👍

"i don't make the monkeys. I just train 'em." I'm stealing that 😂

Desiccant packs (or reusable desiccant things you bake in the oven) thrown in the bottom of your boxes can help you a little if you forget to take wire in. Isn't a cure all but could save you a ruined roll of 25 dollar wire for three dollars in desiccant.

You just gave OSHA a heart attack!😂

I’m so glad I watch this video I learn a lot.

Noticed your weldpro :) I have the weldpro mutiprocess 200 amp , weldpro 200 amp ac/dc tig, and weldpro cut 40 . Keep doing what you do bro !!

a handicap accessible STAIRCASE. I laughed. Nice work dude.

Wild amounts of out of position welding goes into stairs/railings. Good vid for guys who think they want to become mobile welders/fabricators. It’s some ball busting work.

Hey brother for marking steel for cutting with a torch I found the liquid whiteout pens work wicked and don’t burn away with the torch

Clamp a piece of rectangular tubing across stairway at waist height with signage "DO NOT ENTER DEATH RESULT."

I was hoping you were gonna run your tape to 21 on an angle and mark at the 7 and 14 on the wall mount for perfect spacing of your holes. Like you said, perfect isn’t necessary.

Excellent video. I think I hate wind more than any other type of weather. I'll deal with heat or freezing temps. Rain is fine and I can live with snow. I have no use for wind and it drives me batshit crazy. When you mentioned you remember the stairs being there when you were a kid it reminded me of the time I got the job of ding some welding on the playground equipment I had played on thirty years ago. Most of the original stuff was gone (including the sharp gravel that was laid all over and around the base of the equipment) but the huge swing set that I swung on and lept off of the top of the arch and landed face first onto the sharp gravel was still there. Oh ya, did I mention that happened on picture day? Mom was thrilled when they sent home the proofs to see which pictures she wanted and saw my fat cut up lip and big gash on my forehead. I got to do some rust repair and hopefully future abatement. Have a great week

Me like u vibes I'm a welder from jamaica just come to the US to live want to start a welding business

I just got that same welder and it works like a dream super portable too

Dude thanks for the video I love the part where your telling all the know it alls not to bitch about repairing it!!!! Not everything needs to be rebuilt!!!! And that being said not everyone can afford that!!!! Thank you for the video!!! You did almost exactly what I would have done!!!! Great content!!!!

As always, love the video of the work. Maybe someone else said or you had it on but, Anthony Anthony Anthony, you need to have a harness on buddy!! Family first. Love your work.

As for the “handicap” rules, it has to do with accessibility for people in general, not just wheel chairs. Such as force requirements to open doors, clearance around doors/entry ways slope of walkways etc.

That kid is going to have a good trade and contacts to get into

Quick tip anytime you work you self weld up a temp plate to hold channel in place

Hey I use this little red thing it goes on your wire before the feeder wheels it cleans it pretty well it works s

Nice Montana tags.

Listen people don't use angle grinders without the guard.. sometimes it's necessary but that usually means ya got the wrong tool on the job.

Caution tape doesn't indicate someone to stop or cross through work area, but only to be caution while passing through. "RED DANGER" tape is the correct tape to use.

Awesome. Your sub contractor dont look like no welder ive seen. But the work is what shows.

Good vid dude. Got a tip for ya-@20.42 you got a level to make the line for your floor support. Go down to wally world & get yourself a compass-the type you draw a circle with. They make awesome scribes, and will follow your 1/8"-ft. nicely, just go along top cord.

and that was your jacking hand!😬

9:24 I recommend you store your wire In Tupperware, also make sure you place a silica gel packet in there, just for good measure.

What’s an OSHA? 😂😂😂 That part where you put the C Channel in had my palms sweating seeing that pallet bending. I’ve done some sketchy things when welding, so I get it lol. Good work man. I love what you do. Real life field work is never perfect or pretty, but you make do really well. I do have a small filming suggestion. I saw this on another channel and it worked really well, but they put their GoPro behind another helmet so they can film in closer and see the welding. I’m a new sub so not sure if you’ve tried this or not.

Love the go fuck yourself ending, people critasize when they can't do the job and want to tell you how to do it! Keep the videos coming.

Good work and love your attitude 😅

Nice job! I could see you really benefiting so much from a self leveling green laser level man! With horizontal, vertical and plumb.. would be a great little purchase

Nice job well done bud Cheers from Nova Scotia

The stairs actually look steeper than would be allowed here as well.

My small little Johnson….level lol good real world video as always man

A suitcase and some .035 Hobart is the way to go, have used .035 linclon nr 211.

Evolution makes a metal cutting circular saw i love mine i cut lots of plate with it i prefer it instead of a grinder or torch for cutting plate for things like this

nice work anthony keep it up brother

The children yearn for the mines brothaaa

Yea that divide by four to find the spacing for three pieces, the way I explain it to people is you’re finding the distance of the voids not the spot of the piece

That's awesome I've said it before you have the most realest world view on what it really is you don't mask anything I got that same chipping hammer can't go wrong with a EST wing and I think that's awesome that your subcontractors teaching his child how to weld in a world where things are so diminished we are short on people in our trade and I really appreciate the sarcasm about the Hobart wire I would rather use 211 innershield every day if that's all I had a choice to use on carbon steel but if you got to use Hobart I always used fabshield 23 I love that stuff it's the only Hobart flux core I like you can use it on galvanized materials and if I got to use their electrodes I like the Hobart extra low-moisture 7018 otherwise it's Lincoln Excalibur and esab Atomic rods all day long

Handicap accessable 😂 a stairs gotta love it ..

Is it too late for me to learn how to weld? I will be starting this new movement very soon.

Another awesome job 🤘👍💪

3:42 - I heard white out doesn't disappear

Always a good video!! Appreciate it

Bro you need to get you some Silver streak pencils you cannot burn those off with a torch. Best friend a welder can have

Great video you always kill them jobs 👏

Gotta get the danger tape. Even though they’ll still ignore it

Use whiteout pen instead of soap stone and it doesn't burn off or disappear

When you come to an "open railing" do you blow the insides to clean it? Grease it ? Sheila shine it? WD40? Windex? Or use a sand blower? To clean the glass? And im probably gonna sound stupid but if the building is 10,000 square feet is 5,000 people the capacity of people that can fit in that building?

Getting her done with the yes weldee huh

As always, great video.

Should’ve used danger red tape. That should really keep them out next time😂

Freezer bags work good for 5lbs rolls

Does it take a long time to memorize how far a metal stretches in an area? In temperature...do welders weld in farenheight or Celsius? Or when you see a < is it understood?

14:32 if it was me I'd grind or buff the curb just to get him "going" again since he is made of a rod and metal it would be have a æffect but what kind? Is the difference note worthy?

Darn it...wanted to post pic of rails I make. Weld them onsite to a 4 in flange plate using 3/32 7014 Lincoln rods. 7014 is very strong in my opinion

Noooo . 7018/6013 is a pain/horrible to weld on these railings . 7014 Lincoln electric 3/32 stick weld at about 80 is perfect for this job . I weld all railings with 7014 Lincoln electric. It works perfect for me especially in the wind . 5lbs should be about 20$ please try it you won't regret it . Do a review on it ..

Love it!

The likely reason for all the previous mistakes…”When you pay peanuts…. You get monkeys”

Im sure that you know. They make a masonry wheel for a n angke grinder. Makes leveling concrete easy.

I’m almost done with my course and about to be certified. Question though. Would MIG be a good option to do all of this?

If your railing has 20 bars is there a weld that is specific to the 20 bars? On the decent of the stairs standing from the top there are how many bars let's say there's 13 steps 26 rails on one side do you account for rebars on the inside of the other side of the stairs? Since I'm not familiar with all my choices of rods can I choose the number of the closet highway or junction? If the street has a number under like >1000 Martin St

Awesome job 👍

It's not the rust so much that cause blow out it's most likely that it was painted!

Iv only had problems storing solid wire

Super good video man

When are things stich welded versus solid welded? And strength same or not?

great job. well done

I would love to learn how to weld

It looks like you're using NR-211. Do you have any experience with NR-232 or 233? I'm gearing up to start taking some mobile welding jobs, and i was looking at E71T-8 for general purpose welding on carbon steel, to use instead of stick welding, under most conditions, due to the higher productivity that it can provide.

Nice video

damn right around the corner from where i live too lol

What flux machine do you have? And are you running off 120v?

You got work for another rig up in Montana?

That was like a two hour job you turned into two days

Heres the best question youve got yet ...do you think its the day ghat czme down to it or fcaw vrs smaw ....? I mean second day perhaps less wind.... Whatd it really come down to

Do you ever use 6013?? Every time I use 6013 I get porosity in my welds. I hate using them. Am I just not welding right with them? Or do they just suck.

Once again great work man🏆 i imagine they need an elevator ?
