Warning. ⚠️
DO NOT DO AS I DO!! THE THINGS MY VIDEOS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. ALWAYS USE PROPER PPE and follow manufacturers recommendations!!!!!
Welding and cutting can cause fire, electric shock, and/or severe burns to skin and eyes. Always wear proper clothing and eye protection while welding and grinding!!!!!
I am a welder that does side jobs. But now I work for myself cause when I can make over a grand a day compaired to all week at my old job who the hell wouldn't tell the man to go fly a kite??? lol
Thats right! Thats awesome that you are making it on your own buddy.
I work in a shop and make about 1000$ a week really tired of any advice and how to brake out and get side jobs anything will help I love welding but I’m more of a let’s fix this shit kind guy then laying 1000s of clean welds all day long production welding is mindless work pays the bills but not really 😂 help a welder out
@@curtislathrop Hey Curtis I would help ya out but you live to far away. If I could do youtube videos I would but dont have the time nor patiece to do them. I now do my own welding business full time and i do it all. Mig and stick everything!! Mobile just bought a 08 F550 service truck with a crane free and clear. Have my own shop. I cover 3 states. Live in mn but work in sd and ia too. I only abvertise on craigslist rest is word of mouth. Keep at it looks like you pretty good work.
@@curtislathropI feel the same way
Cleaning aluminum in the field is hell! Ive done it many times on aluminum tow truck deck repairs and that stuff is always greasy and nasty. Makes me wanna tote around a pressure washer sometimes 😂
Yeah it sucks. It's almost impossible to get it as clean as it needs to be.
Do you charge a minimum per job even if it's less than an hour?
I usually charge a 2h minimum. But it really depends on who I'm doing the job for and how far I have to drive. If it is a few small jobs for the same customer on the same day I just charge hourly. The whole time I am there.
@@THEREALISTICWELDER appreciate all the videos. Trying to get my own thing going and these videos are helpful.
That's awesome man. I'm glad my videos are helping you out. I wish you the best in getting started out. If you need advice on anything let me know and I will do my best to help you out.
Yea man the decision between being fully independent or contracting to a company is always a tough one. I jump back and forth. But this summer I have been flat out, being fully independent. But I always seem to have more money in my pocket while contracting to someone. But always seem to be happier, being independent. So I guess it's nice to have the option. Because when its slow its slow. And when it rains it pours. So you get it while you can.
You nailed it Buddy.
I've been welding for a company for about 14 years and I also have my welding company part time, I've been thinking about going fully independent, any advice will be greatly appreciated.
It's really just meeting people getting your name out and doing the best job you can on every job you do. Because if you do a good job they might tell 2 people. If you do a bad job they will tell everyone they talk to that day.
Thank you very much for the advice.
You're welcome
Man your work is amazing these are really good jobs with variety too. Really would love to see the arc time and shots if you can
Thank you. I have been working on arc shots. So hopefully I will be able to get some decent ones soon.
Nice to see a welder keeps it real
Thank you. I do my best to not miss lead anyone.
New to welding... cleaning aluminum in the field ->😬 Got it. Thanks for the vid!
Your welcome thank you for watching. If there is anything I can help you with just let me know.
I have the same problem with most of the aluminum jobs I get. On occasion someone will bring me two pieces of clean aluminum to weld on. Usually though it’s nasty worn out stuff. Like the one was an aluminum dump box on a quad axle dump truck used to haul anything and everything from the quarries. You spend 20 minutes cleaning a spot that’s going to get a 3 inch weld and it’s still not clean enough. That stuff just absorbs all the grease and dust from the stone. It’s eye opening though because now I started actually looking at them aluminum boxes and mostly all of em are cracked in multiple places if the trucks are actually being used.
Yeah, the worst part of it. People expect Instagram welds, too.
How were those peppers my friend? I am a mobile welder and fabricator by default. I do small engine repair and machine work because I love it. Thanks for these great videos.
Thank you for watching and to tell you the truth. I was too afraid to try the peppers.
ok i gotta be that guy, throw away that spool gun haha i know its faster i get it, but taking the time to tig that would of been a lot nicer. i know its a bear to make it clean but a spool gun seems to never get it dialed. still solid ass work brotha!! That shank repair was a big basterd! love the content!
Thanks buddy and You are right about the spoolgun it never turns out as good as it would tig welding.
It's more of a business move to you use the spool gun when you are a one man show you gotta bide your time
What’s your hourly rate for this kind of work?
I charge $75h
@@THEREALISTICWELDER fuck yeah good for you thats awesome
Nice work Mr
Thank you sir
Man how do you get your name out there? I’ve tried several things
I just knocked on doors passed out cards and talked to everyone that I know that works in the construction industry. It's hard to get your name out and for people to trust you.
Do you you have an Instagram
No I don't have one.
Hell yeah nice work! What setup do you use for mobile aluminum?
Thanks buddy I was using a Hobart mig with there spoolgun but I'm going to fix my old straight mig gun and start using my LN-25.
Why not a tig setup
To tell you the truth it's just easier on most of the stuff I do. But I do use tig on cast aluminium and smaller aluminium jobs.
@@THEREALISTICWELDER fair. When I welded on navy/marine corps LCACs we could only tig the aluminum
Awsome, hang in there, have a blessed day bro
"Thanks, you too." I really appreciate your support.
I want to start a side job like welding small trailers and what do i need to start without getting in trouble legal advice
I'm not sure exactly what you will need but I can tell you how I set my stuff up. I fist talked to my cpa and she helped me figure out what I needed to set my bisness up as. We decided on a LLC. Then I got my local and state bisness license, bisness bank account and some insurance. Hope this help if there is anything else I can help you out with send me a email and I will do whatever I can to help you out.
@@THEREALISTICWELDER can I send you an email ? I can’t seem to find it but if you have a spare minute ? God bless
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. But my email is therealisticwelder@gmail.com
What do you use to weld aluminum
Wow man my last name is Sisk too. But anyway I was using a Hobart mig with a Hobart spoolgun.
@@THEREALISTICWELDER haha no way and thanks, good work by the way man.
What editor do you use? I'd like to make one but not sure how to compile different videos all into one?
I use three different ones. I do all my editing on my phone. So sometimes I use the built it video editing on my phone but I usually use Adobe Rush and the Kinemaster apps.
Charge more
I can't change much more than that in my area. But in my defense that wasn't all day just just a few hours in the evenings after work.
@@THEREALISTICWELDER how much per hr?
@@THEREALISTICWELDER got insurance and certs?
You have a spoolmate or something for that aluminum?
Yeah I have a Hobart spoolrunner.
