I feel like this is exactly what I needed thank you so so so much
Very impressive..........
I am curious... How do you figure how much you charge? Is it a flat rate? If so how much? Or per hour?
@@willhall7777 120 an hour. Flat rate for me and JOSE . My time started when I started rigging out the golf cart
It’s expensive. But that’s what I’ll do it for . otherwise they can find somebody else.
This is the most underrated welding channel on RUclips this man deserves a million subs.
Absolutely. I’ve welded for 39 years and I still like watching. Real life situations remedied as necessary to get it done.
This guy is awesome
Thank you so much!
@@TaylorWelding Is that golf cart EV or Gas/Diesel ? I'm not sure EV can do so well under all that equipment. I'm looking for one right now and just wanna get this right lol
@@TaylorWelding maybe you can replace the breaker on the generator with a bigger one and start carrying a fire extinguisher too lol
I cant express enough how cool this is! The golf cart weld rig. Side hustle. Craftsmanship. This is a true American! God bless America and this guy
thanks, Andy
You ever been in a mill or around any millwrights? You see crazy golf cart rigs in an old paper mill
My thoughts exactly
You could weld some wheelie bars on the back!😂
I use a Fronius Transpocket 180 welder for jobs like this. It'll burn a 1/8" rod at 120 amps on 330 ft of 12-3 extension cord at 110V and weighs only 19 lbs. If I need to cut , I'll use a cordless cutoff wheel. Mobility is key. Great content! Welcome to my world. Maintenance welding is still welding. It may not be glamorous, but it will help pay the bills.
I use a harbor freight flux 90. It will melt metal to metal on a 50 ft 14 gauge extension cord with no ground!
This guy is awesome. I do a lot of maintenance welding. If it ain't one thing, it's another.
I'll have to check that welding machine out. Thank you for the tip
As a rig welder this is very creative. Respect.
Thank you very much!
Consider switching to an inverter generator that is 4x as quiet. You (and your clients) will thank me. 7018 is awesome stuff, but flux core mig is the cat's meow for working on thin cheap steel like that. And there are lots of multipurpose portable rigs that do both stick and mig, so you're not giving up the ability to use stick. And if you absolutely positively refuse to use flux core mig, buy some smaller diameter 7018 rod. You can do surprisingly delicate work with 3/32" or even 1/16" rod. You can also try 6011. Way easier to strike the arc over and over on these short piddly welds compared to 7018.
Everything has its place.
You sure bout that 6011
I used to use a bunch of 3/32” 6010 or 6011 when I was working the apartment stairs. Or solid wire mig when I was installing the handrails.
Sure, why not?? You can weld with 6011 on AC, DC and any position. Does not need to be kept in a rod heater. Widely available. Inexpensive. Easy to strike the next arc without chipping off the flux, unlike 7018. It spatters more than 7018, but for piddly work on thin metal it's fine.@@totalpkg6912
@@totalpkg6912yes 6011 would be much better on paint and rust and is better at restarting your arc, the 7018 is a great rod but not for these small projects and this is my opinion and I’ve been welding for over 55 years
Yep was also gonna suggest a smaller diameter rod or 6011 for that thin wall material. Great video though. Should have shared what you charged
Hi, from another Taylor. Your suggestions and business plan here are spot on...but I'd offer one caveat for anyone planning this. Be sure to check your State's license/contractor laws. Here in AZ, if your job is over $1000 then you can't work on buildings as a "handyman"...and it wouldn't take many hours to exceed $1K.
I got a call in response to a card I'd posted, asking about building some gates. He gave me dimensions and asked questions, then asked if I could install them on his building. When I said I couldn't, he said "Good, because I'm an investigator with the Registrar of Contractors and if you'd said yes I'd be visiting you to issue a citation." He was calling all the folks who'd posted cards or flyers. So, look up the regs and be careful folks...
And, as always, thanks for the great videos sir.
Great point. Are you a welder?
@@TaylorWelding Yes, but I work primarily on vehicles (buses, RVs, conversions) so I've not sought contractor licensing.
They do stings in Florida but instead of issuing you a citation, they arrest you and take you to jail, impound your truck etc. They use bait houses.
that walks a very fine line on entrapment on their part.. its always great advice to check into local laws to save your own future though.

By far the best welding channel with what seems to be a very down to earth good guy! For someone to share so much valuable information and motivate others to get going in making some money, says a lot about his integrity.
That is a very good idea. I however, was a welder for 20 years. Got diagnosed with MS. Can not do some of the things I love. Like welding. That's why I watch these types of videos. I wish I was 30 years younger, I would do this side hustle !
Looks like you and I are in the same business! 99% of the wrought iron at these apartments is 16ga. Do yourself a favor and go to Harbor Freight and buy a flux core mig welder. They’re cheap and run like hell. They’ll make quick work of that 16ga, much faster than those 7018s. Leave the sticks for the structural and pipe! Thanks for the great content!!
Killer setup man! One time I was moving a gigantic old schoolhouse and I needed to weld 4 -12@89# wide flange H beams 75’ long together to make 2 beams 12”h. X24”wide rails. I hade my Millermatic 251 shop welder running off of my Miller Bobcat 225 gas drive machine. I kept tripping breakers on the bobcat and couldn’t figure it out, called my Airgas dealer and he said “ explain your amperage and setup” I said I was running the mig at 250 amps off of the bobcat set at 225 amps and ………oh nevermind Craig , I got it!😂
Bobcat wasn't set properly ??
This is an excellent recommendation! I have a John Deere 3320 (mid-frame size compact) tractor that I have used in similar situations. I put a Tractor Supply 3-point hitch carrier on the back with a bottle rack I built and a job box on the rear of my tractor and carry my back-up Lincoln 305G attached to a fabricated skid on the pallet forks of the loader. Works fantastic on crowded job sites and in warehouses.
Thanks Taylor. I'm trying to get my own rig together for side $$$, and you have shown how simple it can be. Theres a lot of questionable apartments to fix in my area 😂
I am an electrician that just bought a Yes Welder 160 YWM multi process welder (only plan on using flux core and stick), a 5000W generator with a 240V 30A receptacle, plus a few other odds and ends. I originally bought this equipment for home use and hobbies, but talking to the black irons tradesmen I work with. None of them could be bothered doing these side jobs. So with that being said, watching this video and others like this, inspires me to possibly be a mobile welder as a side gig as well. Thank you for sharing these videos.
What a great idea im and industrial hvac technician for the last 32 years i already have a plasma cutter multiprocess welder generator and many tools im doing this
Not many old school left like you I salute you sir
Good stuff. I'm just getting into welding. I've utilized my sports performance/medicine skills in various settings that others were "scared" to in order to improve people's quality of life. I'm looking at welding as a side hustle in the coming years including retirement just knowing how hard it is to get smaller but important jobs done like in this video.
Plasma cutter fix . A 220 converter with a 110 female will work like a charm
Fantastic vid! Love that your showing people how to get out there and do their own thing. I am stunned that your generator couldn't run that plasma cutter. I have one of the Arccaptian mig boxes and a yes welder plasma cutter. I'm going to have to run some tests to see what is optimal for a mobile rig like this.
A good supply of various sized gussets fix things fast. Big, small, thick. thin.... I like gussets !
You have some of the clearest rod videos of any welder I’ve seen on RUclips I could see clearly exactly what you were doing with the rod. Subscribed!
Wow, thanks! I’ve been working on it
When my dad is around, he does a really good job getting it on video
What an awesome setup. This makes so much sense.
Thank you for sharing it with us. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
You are so welcome thank you Carlos.
thanks a bunch taylor for your videos and knowledge i don't plan on doing this right now and i don't know if i will do this but you have opened my mind to think outside the box in using my welding skills to make money and inspired me furthering my belief that theirs always work out here for an entrepreneur willing to scratch his head and think outside the box
I have thought this many of times for apts ,schools,care homes,etc,My big worry is most of those places are shifty anyways ,don't think for a minute they won't sue you when the rail breaks anywhere but your weld.
Insurance
Do an invoice and have a signature that says no warranty no liability for repairs. It’s a repair bro you can weld it and the rust will eat around it. Some people thinks it’s a extra to have a receipt and file it but very professional and can save you down the road
the fact that you muted the generator, means youre a good youtuber. frankly i would have NEVER considered a nice golfcart until now. This thing is a UNIT!!!
Hey Taylor, I just wanted to leave this comment saying that this video is very cool and super educational. I’m a young upcoming welder. I work for a company for more hours than I would like, but it helps pay the bills at the same time. I’ve always wanted to go ahead and do something similar to this, and seeing that it can be done has helped me really wanna go ahead and strive for it just wanted to say thank you so much for the motivational push to go ahead and be one step closer towards my goals in being an independent welder not only that but just independent Self and future sustainability.
Thank you for that. It was eye opening. The video has really broadened my horizons. 👍🏿
Love and Respect from Nairobi, Kenya.🤘🏿 🇰🇪
I stumbled on your channel and I'm glad I did. Thanks for this great idea. I will be jumping on this where I'm at.
Thank you for sharing this video.
I been wanting to learn how to weld for 10+ years or so, This has sparked my interest yet again, I will look to make it a new years resolution this coming year and quit wasting time.
Watching you weld has inspired me to hurry up and get started, thank you 🙏🏽
Go for it!
I wish this guy had a new video every hour, I’ve learnt a hell of a lot and also been motivated heaps from this guy
thanks for letting me know man I appreciate it
I bought the predator 9500 inverter generator for hf to run my multiprocess welder and my 50 Amp plasma cutter. Runs awesome until the higher end on my plasma as well. But it will cut at 40 to 45 amps for about 4 to 5 min before the generator starts tripping breakers. The inverter type generators are the way to go though.
Awesome idea for a side Hustle! I definitely will be implementing this in the near future.
New favorite channel! Love it man!
Excellent advice,I do have a similar rig, with a Duramax e10000 generator, hypertherm 30 amp plasma with built in compressor and Eastwood tig 200 . Sometimes I get some repairs inside the house, so I get them with tig. Little argon bottle.
Thanks for passing down such great knowledge for a side hustle. I've been retired for 17 years and at 75 I'm considering your ideas for some extra $$$. Thanks again Taylor.
Side hustles are fun and rewarding. Good luck. If you can weld a little bit, you can sure do what I did.
at this age you do not need to be attracting the irs which is going after these side hustles
This is a great idea, I’m definitely gonna make a similar setup and try those complex jobs
If you run into some bad blow out welding, use silver bronze filler rod with a sharpened carbon arc rod on straight polarity.
Making money on your terms, beautiful. That's one of the many things that makes this country so great!
I'm trying to get my start in welding. I've gotten a welder and have been doing some practice and watching a ton of videos about it. I'm hoping I can start doing things like this soon.
Love your videos. I'm just starting my own business and I will definitely chase some of these jobs. I got a little Titanium Mig 170 for that thin tube. Keep inspiring us
Hand held bandsaw may be a better choice
I've got an M12 milwaukee port-a-band, it's bad ass. I've used the M18 ones too, they're overkill for most of what I do.
FWIW, I bought a Harbor Freight 5" portable band saw a couple of years ago to cut oilfield 2 3/8" pipe for a retaining wall. Probably have 100 cuts of that plus misc angle iron, rod and plate cuts, still on the original blade. I do give each cut a squirt of WD40 or equiv for lube. Might not be as handy as plasma for complex cuts but definitely cleaner than a 4" wheel and surprisingly controllable.
Not for angles etc
Remember to always bring two fire extinguishers and a fire blanket also to prevent sparks or fire from damaging nearby property.
Thankful I stumbled across your channel. Learned a lot in the short time I’ve been watching your videos!
Glad to hear it!
I think its awesome you are sharing a business, basically anyone can take on that is handy. Plus this business is keeping kid in these apartment complexes safe. Larry
thanks for bring us along !!! loved the video !!
That’s an awesome rig. You got set up there with that golf cart. That’s such an amazing idea.!!! You just need a bigger generator more power for that plasma cutter.
Great idea. I would pull the golf cart out of a inclosed trailer and hook up a smaller trailer that is set up with what you need. I did alot of them at apartments. Wish I had that back then. Also I did basement doors at the apartments that didn't latch.the best welding I found was mig welding. You can really dile it down. Good money.
😂 that thing is awesome and really in a back yard or something it’s perfect great idea
Thank you for the tips and effort in your videos.
Thank you for this one!!
Will do
I would love to do this. The hardest part is finding the clients. I also don’t have a generator yet. I do have a Toyota Tacoma, and an arc captain multiprocess though. Really want to start my welding business soon
Also I’d rather use flux core and angle grind and clean the joints first before welding! Get much cleaner welds. I hate stick welding so much lol. I suck at it
Nice lil flux core machine are great for railings & fencing...great vid!
I had the same breaker problem on our generator trying to run a Lincoln Tombstone. I increased the breaker fuse up one level and have ran that for better than a year with no problem. May correct your plasm cutter problem .
Loved the video and the attitude. Definitely subscribing. Been welding for 15 years but I always love to learn more tips and tricks. Thanks boss.
Nice set up ! Appreciate ya sharing!
Killer little rig setup
stock some 1/16 7018 and some 3/32 6010 on the golf rig. Brilliant idea BTW. Got to put on a stubby saver.
This is super huge! Man you and dad are kicking butt!
Man i really enjoy your channel! Nothing but solid info.
Man you out a LOT of faith in the strength of that golf cart😂 we had one growing up just to drive around and screw off in and they are flimsy. Even as teenagers we'd put 2 or 3 guys on the back of it and roll in reverse and then forward and ride a wheely😂😂
Great idea , I will definitely look into putting a plan together. Many thanks
I did something similar years ago for fast food restaurants. I used a mig though. 6500 watt generator. Didnt have a plasma cutter. Used a porta band for almost everything.
Really enjoyed watching this !
Keep them coming
I have loved your tip for the white paint marker. I use them all the time. Let me try to give you one. I keep 1/16 6013 sticks for thin rusty metal. I've actually been able buttweld 18awg sheets metal at 10amps with this. I think I've also succeeded with 7014 1/16 as well. Keep the tips coming.
Great tip, never even considered smaller rods. I'm so used to welding the big stuff.
Thanks for the tip! I will use it.
I'm also a fan of 6013 for thin railings and such. It doesn't penetrate as much as 6010, which is great on thinner stuff, but it freezes fast enough to fill holes.
My buddy that works at a welding supply store brought me some 5/64 6013 for a similar job i have coming up. Ran it @ 40amps and it welded beautifully. It also welded a lot smoother after i dipped it in water
Whatever the decimal is for the rod, thats the amp to run. Learned this from an old timer. Works everytime
I liked your video and the way you approach it, very relaxed. I will probably check out your other videos when I have time.
Just found your channel today I love it Thank you
My man, thank you for everything you do!
I was working on my welder in my JD 6 wheeler. Esab 180i, and propane generator when saw this channel. Have regular rig with miller 400A big blue Kubota.
Nice! I’ve never welded with a big blue
Wow great idea . Thanks for all the tips and knowledge .
My pleasure! thanks for watching and commenting
I did a little job like this, maybe a little more design and welding, for my mom. I used wire feed. I have almost no experience, but it seemed to work just fine.
Genius idea. I can't like this enough.
6013 might be a better choice for thin stuff, I always grab the 7018 as well though. Thanx for the side hack job idea.
I've run 6013 at ridiculous low amperages with the polarity flipped and welded some incredibly thin material considering. flipping the polarity moves the heat from the workpiece to the rod from what I understand. I think it was 20 gauge, the welder was cranked down to something like 50 amps.
Thanks for the ideas I’m currently working for a company that does this and I really want that bag for myself
Omg that is some brilliant stuff! Love it
Yeah Taylor Welding best welding channel on the youtubes
thank you for this video i plan to start welding school before summer starts and im just tryna get a general idea of what to do after i get on a job site for a few years and then eventually branch off and create my own welding company i will be looking into to getting a golf cart…this is my first time seeing one turned into a rig and i love the idea
Go for it!
im gonna start saying that to my buddies "are you gonna leave it like that?" hilarious! Awesome video!
Awsum idea thank you!
I’m in school for welding going for my associates degree just looking into different ideas and this was really cool I’m 26 my first year of school this video was nice bro
Good deal. Let me know if you have any questions and let me know how it’s going.
That’s a great side hustle.
I'll second that motion on being underrated as well, my guy !
I did a Lil welding in high school back in the day .
And now I wish I had taken a career I. The field of welding.
I a blue collar myself but , I see way more beneficial had I went into welding.
I'm trying to teach this ol' dog a new trick and maybe help myself be a Lil more secure when I jump ship into a business owner / operator of plumbing .
Great idea! Were you running the plasma on 110 or 220 on the generator? I can't garuntee it'll work, but Maybe try running it on 220 (if your generator has it) since it will be half the amp draw.
Definitely want to see more like this
Amazing thank you so much!
Excellent idea and video
Chris i been asking for this for 3 yrs Thanks
you bet Dan Bob thank you for being here
As someone who used to run a generator as a power source (before my setup got liberated from my possession), need a generator with a 50 amp 220 plug. I was running a 10kw generator
Fantastic idea
I would definitely get an oxyacetyen setup. Sometimes, a small torch tip and some e70s2 rod would make that thin rusty material much easier to deal with.
totally
Great information. Great side hustle like you said.
Great info, good job on the video.
I love the idea, showed this video to my wife, even she likes the idea. Asked me if we are gonna be besties lol
Great job for 6011..I like that on the thin..enjoyed your video :)
Nice, thanks for the inspiration
No problem 👍
I think that’s a brilliant idea to hit up apartment complexes and that setup. Thanks for sharing!
Sweet setup! Making it happen, thanks for the great ideas! May we all help each other in these crazy times!
Peace.
Fantastic work. Fun to watch.
Thank you very much!
this is a great idea for side money jobs thanks for the idea
Yow I respect this guy keep on doing your thing brother
On the issue of not being able to run the plasma. Maybe a small, portable bandsaw with a small table on it , to run in the vertical position. I have two here in the workshop. Lite and compact, I just put one in the back of the ute and take it out to jobs.
