In a previous video, I showed you an embarrassing mistake that I made while welding up a custom iron railing. The mistake wasn’t noticeable until I got the whole iron railing out on site and started the installation.
Thankfully I was able to fix everything on site. Since I had my iPhone with me, I decided to take a quick video of what happened and how I was able to fix it. The problem is, this was a solo install and I was the only one there. It’s impossible to weld and hold video phone at the same time.
Many of you emailed and commented saying that you really wanted to see the actual welding process in action. So today I went into the shop and filmed a reenactment of what happened and the exact welding techniques that I used.
Part 2
This video’s a little long but I show in “real time” exactly how I fixed the problem.
I hope that answered everyones questions about how I fixed the iron railing I was installing.

PS> For everyone that signed up for the Iron Railing 101 Early Bird list, don’t forget to look for your email coming tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. Since you guys have been so supportive, I’m letting you have first crack at the course. I’m only doing the early bird thing until Monday though. After that you’ll have to pay top dollar and those special bonuses will be gone. It should be there around noon tomorrow.

Thanks Andy, that’s you best video so far and it didn’t seem long at all!
Would a smallish paint brush with a bit of water help cool down the weld of would that be counterproductive?
Thanks again. keep on welding
“weld of would” I meant “or”, sorry
