Ken was like, "And THAT is why I moved my chair way over here."

Good illustration of the importance of not getting under a suspended load, no matter the length of time.

Anyone willing to show his failures as much as his successes is a wise man.

And that’s a good reason to have Ken there, with his phone in his pocket. Anytime I do semi-sketchy stuff I think about how long it might take them to find me if something went sideways. Too many years as a volunteer firefighter I think

Without trying your welder settings but a lot of the uglys can be your gun angle if you point into your puddle the weld tends to jump up if you point away from the puddle it will flatten out. Keeping a more consistent travel speed will help also as I tell the new welders at work it takes time and practice. Another suggestion is do a dry run and watch how you move around the weld joint

I'm 54. Such beautiful closing comments and so true! I've learned so much over the years by pushing the limits of my comfort zone.

From my perspective, your welds are 100% adequate. It takes a lot of courage to show welds on YouTube. Them pro welders are a proud bunch, I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback.

Wow! That gate falling gave me a flashback of Brian Block’s (bcblock02) mishap a few years ago. He was unloading a giant radial arm drill off his trailer when a cable broke. That segment was called something like “My worst day in the shop ever”. Brian wasn’t hurt. The cast iron arm of the drill broke as did his new concrete base. You, like Brian, elected to show the accident. A VERY important safety lesson to viewers that accidents can happen even to super-experienced craftsmen. So many YouTube creators do really unsafe things and joke about knowing it’s unsafe. They forget that inexperienced viewers may assume if they saw it on the internet it must be okay to do it that way.

Glad you completely failed to catch that gate as it fell! Also glad you, Ken and the gate are ok

2,000 pound gate falling towards Ken Jordan‘s head and the guy doesn’t even flinch, what a stud!

I greatly respect the fact that you critique your own stick welds and don't only show the best parts. Wrapping corners smoothly is hard, even for professionals, and pretending like it isn't just leads to discouragement for any new welders that don't get it perfect the first time.

I remember a lecture by a Shuttle astronaut at my aerospace company after the Columbia accident. NASA called the problem, "The Standardization of Deviation". Meaning that if you get away with a deviation to the engineering spec long enough, it becomes common practice. In their case, of course, it was the issue of foam coming off the external tank. Glad that this "deviation" didn't catch your toe! Keep up the good work talking to our young men in the trades.

Ken must be an old logger, he didn’t even flinch when the gate came down!! Glad everyone was in the clear! Beautiful gate!!

Not sure where i picked up the trick, but do a corner with a restart, meaning wrap part of the corner then do a hot restart and tie in after repositioning your body and hands for comfort. All the old timers say the most important thing in welding is to be comfortable in body positioning. I'm not a professional by any stretch of imagination, i love to learn from everyone and pass the knowledge along. I have problems with to much heat, causing undercut, I have found for my situation things work better if I just use the old "Kentucky windage" leave the settings alone and change my angle, speed direction or comfort level/ add ing ridged support. Great video hopefully no injuries or soreness from failed rigging. When doing something that can fail, add a safety feature.... an extra chain to catch or carry part of the load for example. On a separate note don't forget manufacturing companies instruct consumers to hook 🪝 a chain around the outside of the links with proper components never through the center of a link as it can and has caused chain links to fail. More people have been maimed or killed in farming, logging, automotive or industrial accidents do to improvised connections, AKA a bolt through a chain. I am guilty of doing it too.

Glad you’re ok! My dear friend died shortly after high school due to improper rigging in a job site. Large piece of metal fell and crushed him. EC - maybe you could do a show on proper rigging, loads, transferring, etc? That could be such a great show and super helpful to folks. Glad you’re ok and tell Kenny we all loved his snickering once he realized you were ok! 🤣

3:06 "I was lulled into complacency by temporary success." That really struck a chord with me. If I had a nickel for every time I was guilty of that, I'm not sure how much money I'd have, but I'd have a big boat anchor's weight of nickels!
