I think it is so awesome having your kids in there while you work. I’m a hobbyist and my daughter has been tinkering around with me in my shop since she was 4. She’s 10 now. Great memories! Thx for the video.
@@Oklahoma75 I enjoy having them out there with me, and I hope they can take some of the things they learn and use them in their life. If nothing else, something as simple as how to work hard. It seems that is getting very rare with this younger generation. Thanks for watching!
That’s a tuff question to answer. I consider myself extremely lucky because for 14 years I worked for a fab shop that would work on anything and everything. Sometimes that sucks, because to be honest, sometimes there are jobs out there that you don’t want to do because they’re such dirty, nasty jobs. But it was good for me, because I was able to learn many more aspects of the fabrication trade. I don’t know if I could really say what what my “bread and butter” is because I pretty much do it all. Welding, TIG, MIG, STICK, Pipe, Structural, Machining, fitting, Stainless, Aluminum, Mild, both shop and mobile work, Which I don’t think is a bad thing. My advice to you would be to master as many parts of the trade as possible, and make that part of your business services. If there is something that you hate doing, or don’t feel comfortable doing, don’t do it. I have done that since I started and it has worked out great for me. I have large customers that regularly bring me work as well as one-time customers who just need something small done. It makes it easier to find work, and I feel like it keeps things interesting. I like that it’s something different all the time. Thanks for watching! 🇺🇸🤘🏻🔥⚡️
@@Freedomfabrication777 thanks, ive been with a Company for 24yrs, that does primarily duct work. Im trying to get going doing small stuff but it seems like Im all over the place. But it sounds like that may be a good thing. Thank you
I do grind the zinc off when I weld galvanized stuff. If I don’t, it messes with integrity of the weld. Respirator is never a bad idea. I have never had any trouble with it as long as I keep the shop door and have a well ventilated environment. Thanks for watching.

It's the laugh for me!
He’s a crack up. Thanks for watching!

No kidding! Sometimes you have to hunt a while before you find all the welds holding it together.
FWA in the house.
What would you say is your bread and butter to your business? Trying to find a niche out here in CA
