Yeah, I'd like to see more home shop videos, because I think that is what most of us are doing.
Most of us aren’t working on Ti at home.
@@JordanHaisleynot with that attitude
😂 he’s right
Who tf is using a tig at home. Very few people. It’s all people from a shop of some sort
@@PMulcahy42 I am, and my setup was less than $500.
I had my first welding job today, had to repair a steel handrail and concrete. Went great! Made money!!
Definitely a fan of the “in the garage” videos. It shows skill to use minimal equipment.
I second this comment
👍🏴😁✌️
I would like to see more of this type of videos I like how you explain things and I really appreciate all you do for the welding community keep up the great work
Always nice to see how simple projects can be done with mostly simple tools.
I love the old videos from your garage! These new ones are good to!
Love side hustle content and would love to see more like this. I am a pipe welder by day and have been struggling to get my side hustle off the ground. I like the way you break down the billing for time. I have much to learn I've learned🤘🏼😅.
I like the little video to show simple repairs and modifications. Do it again!
I've got a side hustle for repairs at the local radiator repair shop. They send me about 4 - 6 a week and sometimes a diesel tank. All these jobs require, acdc welder, grinder and small hand tools.... just shows that you really don't need all the fancy things to make a second income 😂
I love these videos! Please make more!
This is very encouraging!! Thank you!!
Awesome video! Showing how you charge for the jobs helps big time!!!
that was slick man! makes me want to think outside the box so much more!
Love your videos! A tip for others using an angle grinder to cut. Use a strip of masking tape wrapped around the rod instead of a drawn line. It will help you align it straight and help prevent the need to grind to straighten it later. My welding skills are terrible so hopefully if I watch enough of these they will become decent ha!
Your welding skills will improve if you keep watching. I've been watching for about a year and now my aluminum welds look pretty good. Castings, tube, plate, ect.. all are good. Also welding in different positions is much improved.
would love to see more of this type of video
I love these videos. How you break down cost. One of these days I hope to have a side hustle.
Nice seeing videos like this where the guy doesn't have every "bell and whistle" to do some little job. Also, can't get the turtle from Finding Nemo out of my head listening to him talk. hahaha
More of these!!
Yea these small odd jobs are entertaining!
Thank you Justin for the tips and help you’ve given us over the years. Love the side hustle videos immensely since it’s what I’m doing also.
Yes, I would like to see more side jobs being done in your garage/shop. Thanks for posting this.
I would definitely want to see some more 😊
Quality jobs done btw😊
👍🏴😁✌️
I like this. A woodworker I've been watching for years recently moved shops and bought lots of fancy equipment, which is fine, but now their videos are less relevant to me who can't afford all that stuff. Videos like this, at least every once in a while, can be very helpful to people like me.
Watch welding videos from Russia, Viet Nam, India, etc if you want to see how to get things done without fancy equipment.
Heck yeah this is helping me out , saving up to get a decent welder to make some extra cash
as a hobby weld this shit is awesome!
thanks fam
Thanks, thats good stuff!
The comments have it! More home projects! 🙌
Send me something else to do and I'll add it to the footage cache for another episode in a couple years
Different house from where you started. I remember you doing some tube bending back in the day.
id really like to see how you'd progress the garage setup based on these weekend jobs, aka use xx% of the money you make and tell us what you would buy next to add flexibility to the jobs you can take etc. this would be really interesting
Thank you for making a very well produced video.
Smaller jobs are awesoem to see because thats what do. The bike frame is a bigger job than Ive been offered haha! Minus MY bike that is.
I would love to see more garage jobs.
More please 💪💪.
that neighborhood looks like where i used to live in Arizona
great video, enjoyable to watch
I wish I lived in an area I could do that I’m in a town of 45 people and only 9500 in the county so not allot of welding jobs pop up especially when you have a guy 5 miles away that owns a welding shop he gets all the trailer repairs and such but he is getting older so I been trying to help him and maybe some day take over the jobs he can’t do anymore
Hey I am learning a lot from videos like this, so thank you for that, but my problem is how to get the clients to do the "jobs" for. Can you help with that?
Id love too see you slowly expand this series using the money from previous jobs to buy new tools, slowly expanding the tools you have along with the jobs you can do.
Love videos like this bro. Motivates people like me who can’t afford the big shops and fully built rigs.
Do you have a video about setting up your garage shop?
th-cam.com/video/2maQ_NBNAGs/w-d-xo.html
There is a video. Look at his videos . It should be from a year or so ago. Pretty inspiring and has a good point said at the end regarding dedication
I wished I would’ve learned welding in high school but it’s never too late right ? . I’m picking myself up a cheap welder to learn stick . Eventually I’d like to learn to fabricate some motorcycle stunt parts for myself !

Be careful grinding around glass, whether it's automotive or house windows, as the fireballs can stick to glass, and have a tendency to making it very hard to keep clean, as they catch wipers or cleaning rags, etc.
Amen. Sparks bounce off of most things but not glass!
I do these kind of jobs everyday, and your pricing is absolutely on point Justin 👌
The real question is, how do you find those jobs? I realize you've been doing this for a long time so the word of mouth advertising is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for you with regards to marketing but for a beginner, I think telling the stories of how you found your side jobs in the early years would be very helpful.
start by talking to people you work with and tell them your home fixes. then fix one or two of their things for cheap, not free. nothing is free. then their friends will want free too. start your own word of mouth in your own circles.
@@bobbilljim01 but I work remote and all my co-workers are hundreds of miles away from me. not sure the fuel surchage will help me land many deals with them. LOL!
@@TheNudnikNation buahahahahaahhahaha!!
I get me little work from neighbors and coworkers. Ive also gotten work from just chatting with people in different types of shops. Small engine shops and small production facilities love people like us. Personally invested in skill and pride but no overhead.
@@TheNudnikNation maybe a shippers account with Fedex?
I’d love to do small jobs like this on the weekends but I don’t know how to get customers. I’ve made a few posts of Facebook and have had a few people text me wanting stuff done then I never heard from them again
Yes sir! More of these please! I do a few odd jobs now and then to keep in practice. The tips in these videos are priceless!
Inspirational! FO SHO!
Thank you sir!!!
Thanks for the video.
More garage videos please. You put the most important info in your videos, time. What takes a pro an hour to do, then can be adjusted for how well my current skill level is.
Love these videos! Thank you for making great content. I work out of my home shop and enjoy these style content.
In addition to different jobs I would also like to watch a video about how to find said jobs as well as something about how to set your hourly rate. Someone starting out probably won't be doing a "$100/hour" quality, but even then they are probably worth more than "$10/hour".
Essentially let's pretend that you are new to welding, but do have some experience working on your own stuff. You moved to a new town and don't really know anyone, but decided to start a welding job shop. And for the fun of it let's say that you _think_ that you are a "$30/hour" welder.
Just bought a Eastwood MP200. Got a basic 2 car garage and basic training. We had twins on New Years Eve and my wife makes huge $ so I'm home doing landscape work and basic nonsense. Hoping to put the welder to work. Would love some ideas for how to do it
Some simple things I do from time to time is making mantles and hand rails.
Very cool I love this channel and you guys work
Fantastic this is excellent content hell yea man keep it up
Yes to more garage videos, definitely relatable. Thanks for sharing.
Be even more relatable if the garage was full of misc crap
@@richtes True that!
Hell Yeah , learn a great Weekend J.O.B. 👍, Thank you "" Barry ""
Great content! This is literally my side business/hobby.
Mostly intercoolers, brackets, stainless pipes and exhaust.
Only working on sundays since I have a full time job but customers can drop off parts most evenings.
I don’t know how to TIG weld and don’t have a TIG machine. As a beginner, I imagine some of these jobs could be done with a MIG welder. It seems it would certainly be harder. Titanium probably needs to be TIG. Any advice for starting out without a TIG machine?
That would be great. Keep up the great work
Absolutely fantastic video as always thanks now I’d like to ask all the professionals in the U.K. what would they realistically charge for these jobs
Every trade needs a guy like you on TH-cam showing how to get it done with run of the mill tools. Your selfless and transparent information are much needed in this world of click bait, money grab videos.
Is the knurling going to be outside of the bar clamp now?
i want to see the viper lol
But how do you get the jobs? Why would the client know to go to you instead of a body shop or muffler shop?
How are you supposed to find these jobs? I thought of marketplace but they take down services ads
great video. how do you account for the depreciation of your equipment as well as your overheads?
Hey mate killer series quick question, Did you ever finish the yamaha bolt project?
I love this series of videos please just keep them coming!!!!
Great video really like this content thank you 👏🙏🏻👍
Wow🎉
Great video! But by the time I've emptied my garage that's the weekend gone 😅
the weld section is as usual very good , but the real education in the video is how the pricing works ,,, many thanks
Anything you want to share I am all in for .... Thanks for sharing ... Stay safe and well...
Ya I like the home shop videos. Keep it up brotha 🤙🏼
Can you do similar things with a MIG? And thanks for the knowledge.
I’d like more ‘garage build’ videos.
Specifically though I like the basic business vids, and specifically like tips on coming up with work.
Great video, where can i get that table?
Nicely done Justin 👍 my set up is even smaller, wheel things out of the garage to do work. Same table but the one on wheels, same TIG, with water cooler on cart.
The problem is once your neighbors find out your a red seal welder. They never leave you alone! And I though I retired, I was wrong.
🔥🔥🔥
Super interesting :) Please more of this Homemade Garage Material. Keep up the great Work, and best wishes from Germany 🙂👍
Are you running that welder on 110 or 220 ?
Get yourself a die grinder and some cartridge rolls to clean out the holes.Saves a lot of time and they are really smooth.
He’s got all that. I think the focus here was getting the job done with the absolute minimum.
Love to see more of this stuff Justin. I will be doing a bit of this for drinking silver once I retire :)
love the way you explain time and material per minute, very helpful if their should be any payment problem or complaint.
Thanks for your instructions. What I like is that you reiterate basic information every welder is "supposed" to know but which keeps getting forgotten or overlooked when it comes to practice.
What's happening with the truck build ?
Thanks for the video Justin. Yes please do more of the garage/side hussle jobs. I learn from them and enjoy watching them.
Cool video! Here is my advice to a young fabricator getting started. After a couple side jobs like mentioned here, take some of that profit and buy another grinder. Keep one dedicated to cutting and one dedicated to a flap attack! I personally like the dewalt grinders as well. You will be so happy when you dont have to swap the cut off wheel and flapper. Plus if one ever takes a dump you have one to keep you going until you can get another. This has saved me twice in a decade. Its a solid CHEAP investment to have two!
Would you remember the brand if i asked? Fabricator Kevin used to sell that "drop seat" kit and SpeedKing Cycles also makes one. Just curious
I honestly don't remember. It was provided by my customer and I have no footage showing anything related to the brand. Unless I'm 100% sure, I can't say. I would say if I knew for sure.
I got a question, how are you finding these jobs? I'm learning TIG but I have been MIG welding for a few years now. I'm using next-door and apps like it for odd jobs but it's pretty slow through them and wondering other ways to go find some work
Thankx again for what you have done for me with these welding videos. Please keep them coming.
What is the dimension of your garage work shop
I definitely loved this video. Great inspiration and fun to watch.
Definitely do able making money from the garage but one needs to clean the feet and clothes before going into the living area. The women get pissed walking on metal swarf and grinding grit inside, I have been there, now my 9metre x 6mm shed dedicated to metal work definitely saves problems on the martial front. 😊
A scrubby door mat saved my marriage.
Curious Question: Do you absorb consumables costs? Seems like there should at least be a "Misc" line item to cover flap & cutoff discs, tungsten, filler rod, gas, acetone & paper towels--say $15-30 on each small job like this. I appreciate your thoughts on this, thank you!
Wondering the same thing. Probably not the “right” thing to do, but I generally tack on an estimated few extra bucks. Honesty is key. Did you actually completely use up a flap disc?
I’d bill it literally as “Consumables”.
@@GarageFab Right. If we wanted to get perfect, we'd have to weigh new flap disc and before/after the project to amortize what we used and bill accordingly. Nobody is doing that. You hit the nail on the head about honesty, and I don't think anybody would object to "ball parking" a generic use dollar estimate.
Money grows on trees. you just gotta put forth the effort to shake it out…
I like this comment.
Gotta water it and wait to shake it, too, but I like this comment.
Really good video. Would like to see more like this. Keep up the good work, love the content.
But, does your local municipality allow you to operate a "business "out of your home. And, does your homeowners insurance cover you if you're operating a business out of your home especially when it comes to welding and "flammable gases "used in addition to any a inert ones.
those are realistic considerations ....
Don't tell them.
It’s all about being hush hush, respectable to neighbors, and as safe as possible for as long as possible until you can move to a real shop.
There’s no laws (in Vegas) that prevent personal home fabrication.
Home owners associations are another thing though. 🤮
