| Thanks Russ.
They definitely make the day more enjoyable and he likes helping out. Don’t tell him he’s the “little boss” though, he’ll make sure to set you straight on that. Lol.
I used to just turn the welder up and gouge the pipe for coping it. I’ve since gone to just cutting a bevel on each side of the vertical pipe with the gas powered chop saw. It’s quicker, but it’s just a little more awkward running the saw at shoulder height. Pre coping wouldn’t work good here as most of the braces are on a side hill and the corners aren’t all square.
Are you trying to reduce the fire risk or labour? The saw throws sparks further than the torch but I find there’s less fire risk as there’s no gobs of slag flying around. We’re generally wet enough here it’s a non issue though. Takes me about 1/2 hour to cope and weld an end brace and about 40-45 minutes for a corner brace. | |

I might be half a bubble out but...
