I picked a few tricks on this one. There's some real gems in your marking techniques. It's particularly nice to see for folks like me that don't usually work with this kind of material. I feel like I'm skipping ahead of the class. Thank you for sharing. Mahalo!

We use a web board at my job for structural steel. To make a square line across the web and up the flange. And it is just a tube that is cut square off the saw. And cut off from opposite corners. To slide to your layout line to go out and up. They work great. As long as your saw cuts true.

i quite enjoy using a combination square, as it has the same step down that allows you to mark perpendicular lines on the web in a similar fashion , but also is great for marking the flange notch on repeated layout of similar beams, allows you to set it at 100m and just run it off the edge of the beam

What size welder are you using and what rough settings as this is structural work? Would u ever use spray transfer maybe u could do a video on mig welding heavy structural steel correctly. Great video by the way enjoy your content

More like this please 👍👍I'm daily small workshop welder-fabricator but after 15 years I'm think back to heavy structural welding 😁😁 And this is really helpful to refresh mind. Can I ask what basic tools I'm need for that job like a welder-fabricator?? How big engineering square etc. Most my actuall tools they are child tools and not good for that job. Biggest hammer is half kilo Thor soft mallet 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks

@TheMetalFabGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Marcin. Good luck with the job. A Couple of squares will help out. Probably 250/200mm would help for most scenarios for smaller/medium beam work. I’d personally recommend a centre punch you can hold in your whole hand and of a decent diameter for gripping. Hammer style and weight comes down to personal preference. I usually use a 2 1/2 pound ball pein 40oz / 1.13kg

I also need to ask this question. Please is there any tool to check the quality of a weld. Thanks 👌

@kanemalone2349 Жыл бұрын

Quality as far as visual? Most welds are able to be checked with just the eyes. As long as it isn't concave like you are running to hot with undercut. Or to cold to where it looks like rope on metal. Unless you are doing a weld that gets ultra sounded and that is what you are getting at.

How tons of steel can be fabricated in 8 hrs and how much manpower is required for that

@kanemalone2349 Жыл бұрын

This is a loaded question. But not a bad one. It all depends on the machinery you have making the metal. But I have made 11 ton columns that get nothing more than just a base plate welded on that take minutes. Preheating the metal and welding. And you can have a 2 ton beam that takes a week to fabricate and weld. Its all circumstanctial

Could well be. But depends upon the drawings and spec. 50’s/60’s even 70’s depending upon the hole size.

You made a rookie mistake by not locating the flange holes off of the centerline of the web. This fails to correct for mill tolerance and can make a misfit when bolting together the beam.

Absolute amateurism. You center flange holes from the web, not the overall. Soapstone is too dull, you don't even hold it right. Slower than molasses in January to boot.
