    Pro tip: After you torch your holes, drive a bull pin in there while the steel is still soft.

    Love the videos man you’re living my dream job I weld in a fab shop 10 hr a day here in south east Alabama I learn the hard way with the torch lighter great idea just put something with it if you hang it on something it will break easy and not hurt your self 👍👍

    Up here in Alaska this boat shop I worked at had these cool but expensive folding mobile tents that take up a medium sized duffel bag so he could weld outside, because the boat is too tall to get in the shop and it always rains hard up here. It would be a wise choice for your arsenal in the future😜

    something that can help with those long straight cuts is something called a whiskey hand. essentially a piece of angle, who ever long you need it clamped inline with what you want to cut. simply cut and go, makes it look like a machine did it.

    Hey Anthony I’m looking to get started on something similar to what you do. I’m having a dilemma with picking a work truck. The options are either a 3500 dually and custom building a welding bed the other option is going all out and picking up a a Cummins 5500 with a crane on the side….. I feel I’d regret not getting the crane but I’m wondering about the legality’s. Do you have to have the crane inspected every year? Does insurance charge much more for that? Please let me know thanks

      It really depends what you want to gear your business for. I own and operate a mobile welding business and I only need a 1 ton (3500) truck. Ive never needed a crane. I would suggest you save the money and buy you a skidsteer. Also a dually already isn't fun to drive around. I couldn't imagine a bigger truck with a crane lol
