Baluster calculator app on line. Real time saver for wood railings, I’m sure it’ll work for metal too

You make it look so easy...wish it actually was that easy.

They turned out great!

Thanks for sharing, and they turned out great! 👍

Thanks your such an inspiration. me and my son love watching you every week and he loves welding now and is thinking of making a living from it. Love for us in sunny England.

Your gate, fence and railings are getting really good. Nice workmanship and I like it that your powder coating now.

Just what I was looking for, thanks for sharing, greetings from Colombia.🧰

Seeing you mount it would be SUPER helpful.

많이 배우고 갑니다~ 항상 건강하세요,

I have to spend a lot of time trying to make things millimetre perfect. That's why I'm so slow at what I do. Your work looks fantastic because you have the knowledge and skill to do it by eye. Brilliant video Jimbo. By the way. I NEED THAT TABLE.

Excelente trabajo mi compa Jimbo...Saludos desde cabo san Lucas

I work out of my garage making gates love meet jimbo learn a lot love your videos I watched them all he’s helped me on jobs he makes things simple and easy

Magistral Jimbo's, felicitaciones, una verdadera obra de arte!!! Saludos desde Colombia!

You are amazing Jimbo....from Portugal!!

Looks really nice! Great work!

Fantastic lookin fencing Jimbo. Keep up the great work my friend.

a simple design ,but really looks great in place jimbo.thanks for the livestream,hope you will do more along that line.even just a Q &A would be great....all the best...........dougie

They look good.

Great video - thanks for the insights!

jimbo you do good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finished product looks Awesome mate, gotta get me one of those Certiflat tables !

I dont know if you have but you should make a video on how we can start a business like yours and how to get jobs.

Jimbo, Nice as always, thanks

Hey Jimbo! When building sections of handrails, we find the center of the section and mark multiples of 5 inches in each direction from that center point for our spindle placement. Each 5inch mark is the center of a spindle. This simple technique keeps our 1.75” spindle spacing between 3.5 to 4 inches (spindle spacing code in KY) Using this technique, starting in the center and working out, would make each end of the section symmetrical. And would let you know how many spindles you would need. Hope this helps in the future. Thank you for all this great content!

Yeah.. Let's start it👌

Good piece of work jimbo.

Quite lovely

Inspired to get a welder. Though I haven’t welded for at least 30 years so I imagine there’s been huge improvements. One small niggle though. The fact the decorative pieces don’t all flow the same way would drive me mad. The one on far left of the final finished shot is opposite to the other 2.

Well done 👍 mister Jimbo.Interesting work greetings from Macedonia🇲🇰

Awesome work Jimbo! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Nice job Jimbo!

I like your desk very much.

Yeah ,let's rock n roll🤙

Good job!!!

number one !!!

Very nice build.

great job

great video

Good job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😊😊😊

good jobs friend jimbo.. regard..

If it looks right it is right!

Hey Jimbo, enjoyed the video.

Nice Work Greetings from Germany Berlin Pankow

Bien saludos de México Monterrey N.L.

Love your videos, even though every thing is on the ultra robust side ;)

Hey, Jimbo. Consider a stop block for those pickets next time. They will all be identical lengths and it is MUCH quicker.

Nyce job

Good stuff! I've only done this a few times, but find that measuring spaces and assembling things according to a certain measured block doesn't necessarily work as good as you think in practical terms. With wood it can often be more difficult as the variations can be greater. There are things that can distort your consistency by just a little - which in turn can throw you out of what is tolerable. I learned this when I built a swing-gate for a school. I didn't have a proper rig or table to weld on which I think is key in good fabrication, and would have made my work better. In my opinion I think that equipment matters A LOT in efficiency and good fabrication. As a welder you need a lot more tools than you think if you want to make good money. I think it would be great if you'd one time talk about your equipment and what kind of stuff you need to be able to operate on your level. Love your content and work. I think you've got a pretty decent workshop with a sweet fabrication-table and welders. Your work always looks well thought through, with an eye for detail!

Hey Jimbo, picket spacing is quite simple really. The way I do it, lets say we have 67.5 inches that need to have pickets in there. If I want it to be say 5 inch spacing, then I would do 67.5 divided by 5. That equals 13.5. So then I would either do 13 pickets at just over 5 inches, or 14 pickets just under 5 inches. Lets say we go with 14 pickets just under 5 inches. So now I do 67.5 divided by 14 which equals 4.821. that is close to 4 and 13/16th's (4.8125) So then I would do 4 and 13/16th's center to center spacing between pickets. 4.8125 x 14 = 67.375. So the last picket would be only 1/8th out at the end, which could be reduced to a 16th by moving the last 2 pickets. Hard to get much better than that!

Wow! Fantastic work and your instructions as you go are so helpful. If you don't mind my asking, where do you get the design piece you are using on the fence panel?

soon Jimbo is going to be sporting a NASCAR style jacket with advertisements all over the place. lol.... Love the videos!!!!

Brings back memories! That how I learned, back in the 70s to weld the little bit I know. Difference was that we did it stick welding, and we had to hand make the decor

Who knows some other good fabrication channels

Great video, as usual. How many hours of run time between blade sharpening/replacement do you get on the Evolution saw?

Like!!!👏👏👏👏

Looks great. did you build the wall as well ?

We use 350 anti spatter at the big green combine factory,do notice you use 90-10 other than 75-25, do you find the weld wets out better?

Hey Jimbo, cant you use the magnetic squares to get those pickets squared?

were do tou get your decor pieces . nice and simple fence

have you ever done a video on "best Practices for Painting Railings?

How much did these fence distort ? Or how do you keep it from happening

where can we get those 8' decor sir.

Where did you buy the curly q things from at the top?

How long does that cutting blade last for?

Jimbo, What size welder are you using ?

Nice work but those type of columns are rarely straight so I'm guessing your flat bar with brackets did not work?

What type of metal is best to weld on

Tnx for ur videos. I fixed my gf's gate, dog's cage. Now her mom is asking me of the wedding date. But im having 2nd thoughts, maybe they wanted me to be the welder of the fam 😅🤷‍♂️

What’s the cost breakdown how much do u charge

What happened to your Fein Slugger metal cutting saw??

Where did you get the sculpted curve vine piece? Or did you fabricate it?

With that much welding did the complete railing bend ?

Tip. For spacing, without math, get a rubber band and you draw lines on it spaced equal and the stretch it out and you will have even spacing. There is also mechanical tools for spacing too, that you can make too. Here is a link to one. (Not promoting the page just first to show up on Google). djaimports.com/d-j-a-picket-spacer/ These are two options to do spacing without math.

👍

Count the spaces and divide by the length of the place they are going to be welded in...

Супер

I would of loved to see the install on this I was recently going to do a job like this and spacing I between the pillars wasn’t square, so how do you make up for that gap ? If your trying to make a square frame

Where is it you get those decor

Why use .035" mig wire for this? Couldnt you of have gone smaller? Like .030 or even .025?

😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

can I purchase that 8 foot decor off your website?

In order to make equal parts out of a line, you need to divide the total length by 2*n where n is the number of parts you have, that way you have the single step length....

do a pricing video

What is the source for the decor pieces?

how much per panel

4:50 where can I get the formula ?

4:50 - Yeah there is math. Length divided by how many pickets you want. Eg. 1000mm / 20 pickets = picket every 50mm (or 2 inches). If you want to use pickets wider than your gaps then you would need to bring picket width into account. Grab a centering ruler and away you go.

Where do you find the decorative railing insert?

whats a good wire

Formula for spacing (Total Length - (Width of inner bars * number of inner bars)) / (number inner bars + 1)

im so sorri sir...how old you?...but im so salut for you...make things big project

Why is the decorative vines across the top of that long rail going in the opposite direction then the rest of the rails with the tabs all on the same side? Someone not pay attention to direction of the flow of design? 8:26

If they look evenly spaced, they are evenly spaced. 🤣 Math is for teachers and machinists.

You should really consider shutting up a bit. And add some music. Its really not necessary to explain each and every hand movement..
