Welding Tips Metal Fabrication Tools and Layout Stair Handrails This week I am MIG welding and fabricating a metal handrail for stairs. There is a lot of information about metal cost, fabrication tips and methods, metal cutting tips and equipment, layout and welding tips along with lots of other useful information about tools, safety and welding gear. I hope you enjoy this how to diy jam packed welding video.

Welding a Stair Handrail just jumped to the top of my list when I get a nicer welder than my Lincoln Tombstone 225AC. Both my knees are over 70 years old so it's nice to have a handrail to hang onto. Excellent tutorial, Brandon.

I love watching you work. You remind me of my father. My father would get an idea in his head and then head to Home Depot and bring back half the wood that they carried at the Home Depot LOL. When my other would build something he built it to last. The bench that he had me when I was little had out lived him. We used to poke fun of my dad. He could not build anything small. Building birdhouse that was so big that I made the first floor my apartment. -) If he was around today I cannot even imagine what he would do building with metal. When he graduated high school he and my uncle started working for a company that built hi riser across the world. He would be in the yard with my uncle welding all day long. When I was a little kid when they would be done with the blueprints of what my dad were working on he would bring them home and explain to me how to read them. I still have one of his tool boxes filled with welding rod. Everything he did was stick weld. He would go nuts today with how everyone has a welder. Like I said before I could not even imagine what my dad would build. That's why I'm saying you remind me of him. You could have very easily built your railing from wood but you decided to go with something that would probably Outlast your house. I like when you give tips I really like that miter saw trick with cutting a 45. Whenever I start my next project I'm going to use that technique. Like I tell everybody on here I will steal your idea and tell everybody I thought this up. -) My very close friend owns a huge welding business he's got offices across the state. Sometimes he would go out on road work and I would tag along. Since he's the boss he really doesn't have all the tools that his guys carry. So when he needed to cut a piece of steel I couldn't figure out how he was coming to accomplish this seeing that we had no grinder or acetylene. That's when he showed me how to cut steel with the welding rod and showed me how to use the welding rod as filler About a year later there was a whole bunch of all of us volunteering to weld and patch containers that day start their athletic equipment in. So my buddy brought his truck and still had no torch on the back of his truck. I was working with someone and he said we need to cut this but you didn't bring anything so I begin to show him what my friend has showed me about a year earlier. I told this guy that his brother technique that I learned by myself that I was messing around and discovered it. My friend who taught me this technique was standing right behind me and said you came up with this I said absolutely. I said what did I tell you that day he says I don't know the year ago I told him I was going to tell everybody that I discovered this. He just laughed all my friends no I'm a goofball and it's hard to judge what might come out of my mouth at any moment. That's why I always say they love doing things with me that I entertain everybody. Sorry for the long response. Of course I am a subscriber and I always leave a thumbs up after watching your video. I look forward to watching many more.

@David frank I am blessed to be able to have this channel and this large following of really nice people such as yourself. When I set out with this channel I primarily started it so I could document builds with my kids and they could look back on these videos to remember our times together but it's morphed into much more than ever thought so when I hear comments like this it really resonates knowing that I have impacted so many people in such a positive way.

My steel vendor gave me a heads up on the price increases coming in late 2020 and I dropped about 10k on sheet, plate, flat bar, round rod, angle and tube. He ended up getting laid off a year later and the vendor massively scaled back their business and ultimately shut down. I did get to thank him a few months later, but I had no idea how helpful that heads up was at the time. Prices never dropped back down to those rates from a few years back.
@BrandonLund

It's crazy the prices these days. I have some new old stock on hand and it always makes me smile when I get the opportunity to use it, some of which I paid half of the current going rates.

Very nice build Brandon, a year ago I went to buy the Chop saw and they were out of stock, the marking pencil I have had for about a year and half I really like it too. if my steel has a lot mill scale on it and I need to cut to size I use a silver sharpie to save the the other marking pencil. It was nice to see you look up the OSHA requirements for the rail heights. There are also requirements for distance between the stiles to keep childrens heads from getting stuck!

I really want one of those saws. I see mixed reviews. What is yours. I build fire pits and put rings around them. I cut a lot of pieces at 22.5 degrees and they need to be pretty close. How long does the blade last and how well is the saw built
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 2 года назад
@AJ's Iron Works they are awesome! I have 2 of them. I upgraded my oldest model for this one in the video because it has the detents I showed. My older one doesn't. Its all cast iron, heavy duty and cuts perfectly. My 1st blade lasted about 300 cuts but then I started experimenting and cutting things on the bias like I mentioned and i also got the "feel" of how much pressure to apply which also lengthens the life of the blade. I send my blades out through a mail order company that uses really high tech equipment to precision sharpen the blade as good if not better than new for about 40 bucks. I've used about every method to cut and this is hands down the best way I have found. It's a but pricy up front but in time it pays for itself. I spend about 80 dollars a year on sharpening. I have 2 blades. When one gets dull I send it out.

Great tutorial and finally I learned how to use that slotted angle finder! So simple, but so effective! Yeah I got the magnetic Devil Level, but I always wonder if I which angle I need to apply it to. The Speed Square was an eye opener, too! I see you do Woodworking projects, so familiarity with that is perhaps the reason. I never read the rafter booklet...Bwt, I bought the EVO 15 in. about 6 months before I ran into your posts. It's a great saw, compared to the yellow friction saws I was used to. And less space than a horizontal band saw. I also find myself having more control with a cut off wheel in the filed rather than the Port-a-band. I never liked the "pull" towards the blade guide...

Instead of creating a template and marking every 28 pieces, establish a sturdy stop and set saw or stop to the dimension and cut equal pieces every time! Marking then/or lining up each end on every cut can expand error.

Hold tight on the metal prices. They are fixing to tank real soon. I'm not a scrapper but know a few who do, like in tons, not like, pounds of cans type of scrapping. They will hold onto metal for a few months at a time monitoring steel prices. The scrap prices are dropping really bad in the last few days. This should spill over into steel cost to buy. BUT, this could be either speculation or coincidence. But seems to be accurate. Maybe someone else can conform or deny our findings. My Evo cut off saw is my FAVORITE tool in my shop. (wear ear plugs they are LOUD) At least until I get a lathe, mill and CNC. Working towards getting those next. I'm like you. I HATE numbers. I suck at it. I like your tips man, they are useful.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 2 года назад
Well I hate to see the price of scrap drop but a steel reduction would be great. I've been wanting a lathe for a bunch of years but I have a feeling I would use it for a few months then it would sit idle. Unfortunately I don't have much of a need for a lathe in my business but it would be fun to learn and thats the part that really interests me about getting one. Do you buy new blades for your saw or send them out to be sharpened?

I also have a question about the OSHA regulations at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="990">16:30</a> What is the 'Top Rail'? I can't figure out the difference between the top rail and the top handrail. Thanks again for your excellent content.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund Год назад
Thanks man. So from the ground to the top of the rail it has to be at least 42 inches in height and it needs to have at least 30 to 38 inches of materail below it. In other words you cant just slap a single rail horizontally between point A and point B and call it a handrail. It needs to have barrier material below it which can be solid material, mesh or pickets and they must be at least 30 to 38 inches in height.

wooow square tube! that's one expensive rail, looks nice but OMG dude there are much cheaper ways to get nice looking stylish rails, now retired I owned a third generation fab business and one of our bread butters was Comercial railing for apartment complexs, I mean literally 1000s and 1000s of linear feet over a 40 year period. Style is what one wants, this I understand and you can spend 2 to 200 dollars a foot if one choose, that being said, if price was an option the Molded Steel Cover Rail, 1 3/4" (about $2 bucks a foot) which can be welded to a 1" channel underneath or just 1/2" solid square bar for stiles straight or twisted for style, the lower rail 1" shallow channel, your end posts 1"x 14 or 12g indoor, 1/8" outdoor (slows down rusting). on the bottom end of your hand rail a lambs tongue heated and bent around a 3" piece of pipe cut in half adds a nice touch. if you like scroll work it can be added every so many feet between the stiles, there's a million different designs, I had this set of rail stairs books we got in the mid 60's (big format 10 volume set) that had every style you could think of from art deco to prison BLA., what you did looks fantastic, but as you said costly.

@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund Год назад
There are a bunch of ways to do it. You could use a digital angle finder or you could take a known angle (say 90 degrees) and draw that onto your table then take the additional degrees (153-90 = 63) and add to that measurement. You will usually need to end up making a jig to do these steep cuts unless you do it free hand.

Hi Brandon, quick question I’m currently in the market for a welder doing basically the same projects as yourself. I can’t make up my mind on which one to go with. Just when I think I’ve got it figured out, I realize I’m further away then when I started a couple of months ago. Your rationale and opinion would be appreciated. As for budget, I’m a buy once cry once type of guy. Best regards.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 2 года назад
Thanks for reaching out Jeff. I have 3 clear options, With that being said, the Fronius 2200 is THE BEST welder money can buy. Period. Its the Ferrari and Rolls Royce of welders. Nothing even comes close in my opinion, but that comes at a price of around $2300. It will do MIG, TIG, stick and it will MIG weld aluminum WITHOUT a spool gun. This is a buy it once machine and you will never regret or wish you bought something else but it does put a big dent in the wallet. I have detailed videos on my channel of this machine. With that being said, I have 3 YesWelders and I'm super impressed especially with the 205DS that does basically the same thing just not as good as the Fronius for less than $450. However, I haven't owned them long enough to say how reliable it will be 5 or 10 years down the road but the reviews are great and so far I'm very happy with my purchase. My last tried and trusted If all you want to do is MIG or Self shielded wire and you don't care about stick or tig welding, either a Hobart Handler 140, 190 or Hobart Ironman 240. These are all transformer based machines that do MIG only. Any of these machines will outlast you and I combined. They are super reliable and bullet proof. If you rarely weld anything thicker than 1/4" than the 140 will do. The 140 runs on 120 volt power only. The 190 and the Ironman need 240 volt power and can easily weld 1/4" and thicker. Clear as mud? Lol. On a side note, I feel your pain. I research stuff like this for months also. Your not alone. It drives my wife crazy lol
@jefffitzpatrick388
@jefffitzpatrick388 2 года назад
Hi Brandon, thank you for the very quick response. Ok if your Fronius is the best and it does Stick, Mig, and Tig. Why would you buy a “Yes” Tig machine? I really appreciate your feedback.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 2 года назад
So the reason for Fronius and Yeswelder, the Fronius machines stay in my shop permanently. They are just too expensive for me to justify toting them around. My YesWelders do everything I need but if it gets run over by a piece of equipment or damaged on a jobsite, it's only a fraction of what a Fronius costs to replace.

Steel in the Uk has rocketed up in price too. 70% more expensive than a year ago. And for the construction industry it gets worse. Rebated or "red diesel" will be banned from use in all machinery and equipment from 1st April 2022 UNLESS, you are a farmer, generating electric for consumption in a hospital, tower block or similar or it is being used in a boiler to provide heat. That could happen in the USA too? So, what can the consturction industry use to fuel diggers, dozers, cranes, back hoe's, dumper's and the like? White (road diesel @ £6.23p or $8.52 per gallon or you could use HVO. What's HVO? Hydro Treated Vegetable OIl and it is currently about 16% dearer than red diesel. 2022 is set to see inflation rocket!
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 2 года назад
@Jon Dingle sounds like we are experiencing very simular! Our gasoline in our area was under 2 dollars a gallon now it 3.25 a gallon. We allso have on road and off road diesel but they havent banned the off road stuff YET. We also have biodiesel (made from recycled vegtable oils) which sounds simular to your Hydro treated. Nobody wants to work either in my area because Covid money and unemployment is paying the same if not more than actually working a job so it's leaving employers desperate for help. Everyone is hiring locally but nobody wants to work.

The accessories are more expensive and not as much variety What you really want is a Metabo Quick Series. They use the normal attachment but the nut is designed to hand tighten and loosen by slamming on the grinder brake! Amazingly enough. I've got one of these. Made in Germany. Absolutely top notch grinder.
@BrandonLund

@Matthew Hall interesting you mention this because that's what my local welding shop uses and they swear by the Metabo. They said they get about 4 years out of one which is pretty impressive for industrial use by guys that don't own them but just use them all day. They are using the corded versions and the the price seems reasonable. I'm going to look into it. I just picked up a 4" and 4 1/2" Makita last week for spares which I've always had good luck with also.

@@BrandonLund I ordered one of these: "Metabo W12-125 Quick 10.5 Amp 5 in. Angle Grinder with Lock-On Sliding Switch" which since got upgraded later. Their products are crazy customizable. You can pick paddle or click switch. Multiple sizes of wheel. Multiple amperages of motors. Different types of motors, fixed or adjustable speed. I like the 5" because it can use both 4.5" and 5" accessories for better cutoff wheels and more surface area. Any of their grinders from the Quick series is meant for guys that hate grinder wrenches. They have a catalog on their website that lists all the options so you can pick the one with your favorite combo of safety and performance features.
