- #weldingrepair #welding #entrepreneur Come To Work With a Mobile Welder. In this one I show you what it’s really like in a day as a independent mobile welder. We do several repairs, a fabrication estimate or two and look at some future jobs. This is what a typical day with me looks like, but nothing in this business is ever typical.
Here’s my Instagram- / meltinmetalmobile
Here’s some tools I used-
Miller Respirator - amzn.to/3sakIAn
Black Stallion Welding Gloves- amzn.to/3HoxSQz
Black Stallion Helmet Bib- amzn.to/3rgCzX8
Gouging Torch Tip- amzn.to/3urDtBU

I started a welding business about a year ago. Took some time to help my dad out and buy equipment and build my rig, started working in August. I do pretty close to this kind of stuff all day and still enjoy watching your videos about it 👊🏻
How do you find jobs
@@dr8627 go to construction companies Lumber Mills industrial plant farmers loggers truck drivers first get some scrap metal run type of welding on plates for simple plates to show how your welding is go get a erectional cutting welding specialty insurance from next insurance for a million dollar coverage for manufacturing Industrial and Commercial use and hit the ground running remember if everybody charging $ hundred an hourly rate you have to under bid them to win the bid or scoop oh yeah go to heavy equipment rental company to always charge a 20% Mark up fee on merchandise you have to get you gonna have to bid a round 75 hr in order to win some bids that bigger company on the fact that they get a big discount on there material because they been buying from the metal supplies so long and get that money buddy
@@santanaanderson1492 awesome thanks
Super solid advise. That’s exactly what I did
Dude ur teaching us all alot , keep grinding brother!
Appreciate that
Im a HD mechanic up in Ab Canada. Ive been an employee my whole career of 20 years and just bought my own service truck two days ago. Gotta rig it up and tool her up and then start trying to find work for it. Watching your videos gives me inspiration to be deadly. Your deadlines is contagious! Lol. Its a little nerve racking to venture out on your own, but I think with a good attitude, a smidge of Give a fuck, and a dash of luck it’s gonna be just fine.
Keep being awesome!
you got this brother!! just be carful with those crazy Canadian taxes!
Top video brother, " it's always something " ain't that a famous saying on site
No doubt
You’ve inspired me to take a local welding class for 10 weeks, 3 hours per week. I’m excited to learn, always liked fabrication but never knew how to weld but since watching your videos it’s given me the passion to learn. Many times have I needed to weld in my personal experience, and I’m only 22. Excited to keep following along, keep sharing your journey and laying beads.
Results
Love the videos keep bringing them home
I know the pain with trucks. Weld on them all the time. Always forget a tool once you get down in. Great video.
Great vids, motivates me even more. started my own welding business best decision .
Wicked video a real insite on a mobile welders day loves it.just shows not everything is plain sailing. You definitely work hard full respect. Can’t wait for the next video 👍👍
Thanks 👍
bro when the hammer broke i screamed lmfaooooo
13:10 tie the cords together Anthony!!!!! LOL
Keep them coming!
I admire your ability to work hard and yet still be able to share videos.
I appreciate that!
yeah buddy...looking great.....
I almost never comment on videos, but man I really like your videos, they really show the reality of the welding biz and I love that! Keep burning rod! P.s I used to have the same respirators you have and I could still smell fumes, I upgraded to 3M P100 60926 filters and I can finally breath without smelling any nasty fumes!
Ya I usually use that one, but I wanted to do a head to head comparison
Other than estimates, I charge for travel. Don't work for free guys. Customers will say something like you don't get paid to drive to an office job and I respond I don't drive $150,000 (I have a big truck with a knuckle boom and a huge amount of tools) truck to an office job. Estimates I usually drive my car to talk with the customers.
Lets go! Thank you for the content
You bet!
Awesome video keep it weldin
Isn't that the dam truth.. it's always something! Delt with allot of that today!! Another great video!
I dont even weld. But I enjoy watching. Keep up the hard work 💪
You get every last inch out of those welding rods :)
Feels like you are my neighbor except I'm 3k miles away here in Northern California. Learning a lot from you. I'm a biomedical field service technician wanting to get into welding. I'll be quitting (semi retiring) from my job in about 18 months. I took up welding as a hobby about a year ago. You are doing a great job with all your content.
thank you!
Ever thought about a 2 hour minimum? Thats helped me alot man. Now I'm in the pnw ,so I'm a little less available than back home. But it's a life saver.
That’s damn good stuff Meltin Metal!! That dump truck box was an ass kicker!! F’yea! Now let’s start the weekend!!!
yes sir!
Good work🤙
Right on man! Thank you for taking us along. Doodie calls...😁
that's the best company name
Good video. I wrap all my connectors with electrical tape where you slide the cable in. Keeps them from twisting while hot
Loving the vlogs.
More to come!
hay the texas tig thing came out better then i thought it would , just so you know , thanks
I always carry a 5 gallon bucket preferably a metal one I keep a hammer, slag pick and a hand full of other things in it so I don’t have to run around so much then I can drop the rod stubs in it without melting through and I don’t have to worry about it cleaning them up or losing one to find in a tier later some days I need 2 depending on the job and how many dogs and other stuff I need I even made a tray to go on ladders oh and I got a hook on the hand of the bucket to hang places and sometimes I use it to catch sparks if I need extra protection to not burn things underneath but yeah it’s always something lol
another good one!!!!! Me after loosing your lead I would have went back for a beer at the sports bar !!!!LOL
lol!
Great day we spent together bud. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
well done.
nice job
Get one of those little husky tool bags to carry your tape, square,grinder and discs, hammer, rods etc when you weld inside truck beds. Save a trip.
Keep on meltin that metal!
good suggestion!
Hey Anthony! .. I grew up in St Pete and El Cap's used to have a kick ass burger.... I stopped there about 2 years ago and found the burgers to be mediocre at best... nothing special! ... I live in Citrus County now and love your channel! ... Got my certifications back in 1984.. Used to have a fabrication shop in Clearwater... Now, just do welding on small projects locally. Love that you make videos often and I always look forward to seeing them! ... I'm sure we will cross paths in Brooksville area one day! - Sincerely, Kell
thanks Kell! I wish I got to try one back in the day! and they just might. does seem like most my work in south these days
I’m going to start soldering my leads connections 😂
Thanks
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Love your videos man, it so weird seeing lutz on RUclips I live off collier and 54 I'm still shocked to recognize everything in the background on your videos
Nice ☺️
I felt your pain and aggravation when that cable lead popped off ....that burns my ass bad when shit does that crap lol
first time thats happened to me!
Digging this
I remember these field days lol. I do miss working in the field always something different. Unfortunately shop work is paying me more right now to do that
thats how it goes
yo when the head of you hammer flew off, i laughed my ass off lol... shit happens.. ive had that happen before and it flew and dented my old truck lol
ohhh a dent woulda set me off lmao
Great video would love to see a video on how you flame gouge seeing as you don’t CAC. Just bought a Miller trailblazer 325 starting my own business up in Canada!
here's the link to a video of me doing just that!ruclips.net/video/nGvPxW6cldk/видео.html
Watched and liked. Do you have any videos of your quote process? If not would like to see a video of all the factors you include when charging
Always comes unplugged at the worst time, I can relate😳
That truck got 323k? Looks pretty good
Like videos like this.
That's cool you build something then they test it you improve it .them boys need too grease
Noticed the new respirator, like it? Better than the 3m pink pancakes? Good on you for showing ppe.
no im working on a head to head video. the miller one blows
Haha, in my limited experience I'd have to say I agree! Looking forward to the head to head video.
Hmmm ??? Did you leave out the thrust washers, when you did the pins and bushings ?
Getterdun !
Any chance you could either do a video on or point me to one that better explains when I would need to Arc weld or MIG or just wirefeed etc? I only have a chicago electric flux core and I am loving welding. but man I am not doing so well. But I have used it for like everything I had to do, since it was all I had. I will get a multiprocess eventually though but at that point, I wont know which process to use.
stick is great for field repair especially 6010 rod, it will weld through paint rust and what not. always a good idea to prep your metal. but thats why I use stick primarily. also a lead is lighter than a suit case
What is the best way to find clients, I got everything a shop at my house all necessary welding equipment just need to find out how set up getting materials and clients
Shoot I thought I was the only one who’s leads broke on jobs, I like the quick connects but sometimes I wish I just had a solid lead
ya but then you gotta roll up a shit load of lead each time lol
@@MeltinMetalAnthony yup If its not one thing its another
I have the same hammer
Gooood Shit my dawg!!!
0 faqs givin…erday!!!
When are you coming to Colorado?
I was Always told to turn off acetylene first otherwise you destroy o rings
if that happened to me with the hammer i would have went home for the day 🤣
and than the lead 🤦♂️
Let's go weld some stuff together
😂🤣😂 you know what I’m laughing at…🔨
😂
What did you do with your other truck
@M.M.A. what type metal do you typically order for pins and bushings? I have an excavator that could use some coupler pins and bushings. Thinking it might be cheaper to have them made rather then go to the dealer.
I believe my machinist uses 4140
Sweet dude thanks!
A311 or a 4140 I assume
Just curious, why don't you use a plasma cutter?
clean air
ANTHONY 👍
How do you make your invoices
😎👍👍
What program do you use for invoicing?
joist, I highly recommend it.
11:52 lol
I see you using that miller half masks not your iconic 3m 6502QL what happen?
wanna see which is better. the 3m is so far
@@MeltinMetalAnthony just can't beat that quick latch comes in clutch
Damm that machine I'd loud speaking of maintenance the old 12vs is not happy after today time for drive rolls and a liner feeding like shit and 125hr over service on the machine
schedule maintenance or your equipment will 😂
what is the yr is you welder
How do you like the Hobart helmets?
love them better than 3350 viking I had
@@MeltinMetalAnthony what lens does it have I currently have the viking 3350 it's tight on my head and am currently looking to buy another helmet
Wut up Anthony have you ever used NR 232 flux core?
I have not!
@@MeltinMetalAnthony I just started running it and it is a little challenging running .072 wire but it sure is a mighty strong weld. Trying for my D1.1 and D1.5 I already know how to fabricate and know how to read code/blueprints and no I didn’t go to school. Joined the Piledriver’s union
Just wondering why you moved to MOntana
How much money were you making before you decided to start a business?
ive been in business since 16, had the advantage of having no bills when I started my first business. I got into the welding business about 5-6 years ago after helping my dad for years with welding repairs
Why don't you run red dye in your welder to save money?
none near me
DID YOU INVENT THE THING
This is the real world of welding people. Kiss your little booth at school goodbye
but u are workin
that lead connection may run better now that it is tight, and that hammer head looked awful loose too......was not your day ...
lol I just bought two new mini sledges because of it! wait till next week when I get attacked by bees 😂😭
@@MeltinMetalAnthony 😵💫
15:25 when you put out the fuel first then the oxygen it created a loud pop. This is called “backfire” which is a loud snap or pop as a torch flame is extinguished. For those newbies, fire cannot exist without oxygen. This is why oxygen has to turn off first because that backfire isn’t good for the torch.
The more you know
Where you from ? I am living in Orlando - if you need someone part time I can help you - you do not need pay just an opportunity to watch and learn
I’m in Montana now
Dude are you serious I've been watching your videos for a while I've been looking for an 'apprentice' would be cool to learn from you and do work hardly for the money even.
I’ve watched about 19 of these videos just trying to figure out wtf is on his mf cap!!
🤣 $100 bills
You treated like a D1.1 bra there's no backing strip
d1.1 isn't always a backing strip
@@MeltinMetalAnthony yea it is that's not open root groove
Jokes today nobody offers a job
Trust in the LORD of lords Jesus Christ Forever Amen.
