This year my shop slowed down .. I ended up joining a friend's part time who started after me ... Advertising and location has the biggest impact on my situation . Northern Illinois as well ..

This has been my experience as well ...if u listen to his suggestions you will save thousands

Can u give away a bobcat miller

Insurance is overrated 😂nah but really for someone like me with a gang of kids ect starting a business is out of the question these days 9to5 with a good union wage is the way to go for me but you know I’m always supporting Washburn fab co 🫡

That's sick bro.

what gas are you using? I'm using the same gun on the same machine with the same type of wire and it will not work no matter what i do.

My grandpa. Breaks up his old hard Wheels with a hammer and then throws him in his tumbler for media

Sup bro! Hey are repairs the majority or your work? Or do you do work for local companies and stuff? Just curious

Just found your channel keep up the great work!

What I found in all manufacturing industries wielding included- Its all about offering the most value and making the biggest impact. Learning new processes and finding ways to do a 4 week project in 2 weeks. When you follow this strategy the people you work for will love getting the product faster and you get too add in more jobs annually as a business owner. Remember- The quality of life you life today in America is from manufacturing, not custom jobs.

custom wielding does not make big money. Production or manufacturing large counts of the same product makes the big money long term. Ideas of service include truss manufacturing, fencing or gates, trailers and anything that's popular

I’m a hobby welder but full time mechanic on my families equipment rental fleet -scissors, booms, forks, mini dirt work,,,, and all the trades we rent to are slow except massive projects that have been in the works for years

I’d use it on my homestead and teach my brother in law how to weld with it.

I’m freaking slammed! I’m behind, can’t keep up but keeping up. Chicago summertime, slammed. Market you ass off, flyers, deals for new customers, take pictures, knock on doors. Learn to communicate accurately. Educate your customers. Good luck!

Slow downs must be area dependant because My nephew is a welder here in Idaho and as of just a month ago when I last talked to him he was busy as hell and getting calls from several companies wanting him to go to work for them,, he keeps turning them down and they are companies doing government contract stuff for military and aerospace, I'm retired and weld just as hobby/build trailers and stuff to sell, my neighbors know I do welding and are always wanting me to do stuff,,, I could make fair change just doing that local stuff without any advertising,,, just must be a where your are type of thing.

It's been slow in NC lately, too. If I didn't do mechanic work also I would be done. Concrete has always been feast or famine, I'm used to it now. It'll come around, just gotta hold on.

Definitely slowed down just a little, like just now, enough ive actually been looking into some "marketing" why not

Nice!!!

I myself, have been welding & fabricating for over 25 years and a business owner for a little over one year. It's a grind, but the quality of your work and standards along with work ethics go along way in procuring work. I totally agree and Believe in entrepreneurship, but the market is way oversaturated. This industry or trade field has become like landscaping is during the summer time where has everybody with a lawnmower and a weedeater has a lawn service business. So if you have a Harbor freight generator / welding machine and a grinder you're a welding and fabrication specialist go start your business today. "I say sarcastically" Like you said the lesser experienced and the ones will fizzle out in time.

Here is food for thought, some father and son team has been I guess that they made there way up and down the street putting up custom strair railings (some look that they are custom welded) and I think they ride up and down the streets looking for customers they never had any railing out on the front door enterences or they are wood and rotted away.....and this small father and son team has mad a killing around my neighborhood!!! SO HERE IS MY THOUGHT GET TOGETHER AND GET TO KNOW YOUR HOME BUILDERS IN YOUR AREA AND INTRODUCE YOUR SELF THAT YOU CAN DO CUSTOM ENTERANCE RAILINGS instead of the dead wood approach.... AND PLUS IT MAY LEAD TO OTHER WORK WELDING STRUCTUAL OR FRONT ENTERANCE GATES Liked#4 N Subscribed!!!

Could you make a video about balancing social media and work? How much time per week you spend recording, editing, responding, etc.

Bro wen you get pulled over you take it off

That’s dope! The casters idea is a solid suggestion. Just stumbled on your channel. Another local welder out here in Lodi. 👍🏼 keep up the good work

I want a free plasma cutter

Dub

Put it on rollers, you'll thank me later.

good work. looks like it fits snugly and makes efficient use of the space.

I want one

Spot on with everything you said. I’ve been through multiple scenarios you’ve discussed. Thanks from Modesto 👍🏼

New sub, just starting my own welding company.

Used this machine for my first welds. Happy so far!

I have owned Lincoln and Miller machines -- Miller seems to keep older replacement parts in stock longer.

That's sick bro. I love custom one off exhaust systems.

This looks pretty solid

Yo! I need a plasma welder please crossing my fingers, I'm making my own welding table and I don't have acetylene torch setup. 😅 gread videos man keep em comin

Sick!!!!!

I have a MP210, a Idealarc 250 AC/DC and a 1966 Redface SA200. Been very happy with Lincoln products

You should try Fronius machines

that's a very interesting story...have you ever tried "esab" welding machine ?

Do you have any experience with the yes ywa160?

Would use to start facing some of my own parts for my 4x4

Great work your doing

Thanks for all the videos as someone starting out you have a lot of great advice.

If I won, I would probably use it on.... EVERYTHING!!! lol I am addicted to welding... As a masonry contractor, I have little free time, and instead of being like everyone else and doing who knows what in their very limited free time that works in the Masonry trades.... I fabricate cool shiz and teach myself new techniques and taught myself two processes with no help, unfortunately, and spent the first year with the sticker on my helmet....smh..... lmao, my welds improved 1000% overnight... literally! lmao!!! I need a real multi-process welder to top out my collection of cheap inadequate machines that my low income can afford! God Bless!

I would use it to help stary my little welding business :) Thank you :)

I would use it to learn to weld
