Hey man I appreciate your knowledge and I been doing flux core for about 6years on little projects. Now yes I'm in school and it's going pretty good so far as learning how to weld. I'm what y'all might call a late bloomer. I'm forty making a career change because I can't worry about the past would've and could've. Ain't no time like now! So thanks for sharing man. Looking forward to the video.
Howâs welding school? Never went cause I always heard they suck and seems like they arenât needed
@ RoLdHaR, I'm 51 been a farrier for 30 yrs. One more school year hear at the college and I'll have my cert in multi process. Practicing now for 1" vertical up and overhead unlimited. So keep on it you have some time.
Iâm 43 and a high school dropout, been welding for 10 years. 3 1/2 years ago I decided to attend a community college code welding program on a part time basis. In the fall is my last semester. So it seems your getting on the boat Iâm about to exit. Welding school has cleared up a bunch of misconceptions I had, and was told about welding. I feel I have learned more about welding in the last 3 1/2 years than the 7 years I welded before that. One thing about welding school, all instructors are not equal. If the instructor is not pushing you and checking your progress, chose another until you get a good one. Some of them are only there to collect a pay check and do very little as far as your advancement goes. Make sure your instructor can do the weld he is asking you to do, by showing you, and if they show you and weld like an inch or 2. Thatâs not enough, make them do more, donât waste time your paying for. The best instructor at my school does a hands on lecture every day, and pushes me aside when Iâm doing crap welds, and lays down a good portion of weld to show me my errors. Lastly, you wonât learn to weld if you spend only 2 1/2 hours twice a week when attending a welding program, you must put in overtime. Good luck in your welding program.
Bro same here man I used to be a high school teacher here in Houston just started attending HCC welding program
He is spot on!! I took my time and found majority of my tools between OfferUp and CraigslistâŠI came out pretty good and kept some coins in my pocket. Iâm in an area where there are 3 huge shipyards and folks are always selling equipmentâŠI prefer to buy things out right so I own and not have the worry of owing anybody anything.
Everyone that does a beginner setup video shows build a dedicated truck. When you are trying to get in the business and still work another job I feel like a trailer setup might be better. You can tow it with a light pickup that you still use as your every day driver and customize however you want once you start making profit you can build a dedicated welding rig
Lots of sites donât have room for a truck and trailer
I'm new to welding this really helps encourage me!
Thank you for the information and God bless you on your business and keep up the good work!
Definitely a lot of enthusiasm I wish you the best of luck
I definitely need a side hustle. Thanks for the info bruh : )
I have that same welder I love it for the farm work I do with it
I started my welding business in 1979. I bought nothing but used equipment for years. Later, I branched out to doing hydraulic repair. My current rig is a F550 with a Miller 325 efi, pto driven air compressor, 4 ton chain, and Smith torch set. The one thing I would add is getting 2 plus million in insurance. Some companies will require more than that.
Im soon to branch out and start my career as a rig welder slowly but surely i hope and will make it im located in riverside ca. been watching you since you started youtube and damn uve come a long way. I currently do some out calls and incalls but now that im getting a newer reliable truck ill be limitless FINALLY
You do any pipe work bro ? Either tig or stick ? I also live in the ie area
Welds leads can be had for cheap on marketplace sometimes depending on your area but personally if you have the cash Iâd invest in 150 foot of stinger and ground. More expensive but thereâs been quite a few times that 125 has screwed me and there was no way to get the truck any closer. Just my .02
I have a ranger 225 and run my plasma and miller AC/DC works great for when I do fences, gates, and other stuff
Let's go!! My guy đ°đšđŸâđ
Welcome back Rico!!! Love your channel!!!
Thanks homie
Good videos keep the good work bro đ
We have a Ranger 225 and it works. I prefer the preditor generator and omnipro 220. The omnipro pushes around 5-7lb of .035 a day. I can load the preditor and omnipro buy myself. The Ranger needs a hoist or it's tied to a vehicle for the whole project.
Good stuff wei youâre my idol
I'm in Las Vegas, and a buddy of mine are trying to figure out how to start a mobile welding Co. Truck, machine, Ln is what I need. I have everything else.
So now your a member of the tailgate sasquatch club. Joined several years ago running into the gooseneck trailer.
So you tell your friends the Sasguatch came at night and smashed it.
I also maybe recommend a small bench top drill press that you can slide into the hitch
great vid!
Top 5 welding chamnels on CZcams! Good shit man
đ„đ„đ„
Congratulations brother
Will s smaller machine like the one shown have a long enough run time to work in the oil field?
Iâm 14 and i just got my first job luckily itâs for a friend and I have a very portable welder but by the time Iâm 16 Iâm hoping to have a welding rig probably a shitty one but for the next two years Iâm gonna work my ass off and save my money to buy the stuff I need đ
How is it going now?
@@wadewilde5456 ehh not great Iâve had to fix a bunch of my four wheelers and life kinda punched me in the face so welding is on the back burner right now
Good job, keep it going.
Good vid !
Only in my opinion and itâs not tule of thumb
Iâd go to school for welding at least a year
Break out go out as a welder and take different jobs .
Field, Shop , Shipyard
pipe , plate
vessel, heat exchanger , pipe shops
You will learn something at everyone of those place that will build character and skill
And become well rounded
Thank you
Gracias por esa motivación que nos das quiero empezar algo pequeño radico en el estado de Yuta
Bro where did you get a cup for your finger when you were rooting the pipe?
If the DOT catches you transporting that oxygen cylinder laying down, you're going to have a long day.
Iâm planning on starting my own mobile welding business
Good video
Is a Miller multimatic 200 a decent small machine to start with or no?
I've got everything I need to rig up besides the right truck
Man, le diste recisimo a la puerta de la ram, durĂsimo đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł cosas que pasan, varias veces ya hemos reparado las nuestras de varios golpes diferentes, estĂĄn trabajando asĂ que eso puede pasar.
Hey Rico you should make a video on small jobs beginner welders can start doing as they break out on their own, itâll be helpful
You should already know what youâre doing for the most part, itâs all good trying to start and learn as you go, but if you donât have basic fab skills and know how to weld well I wouldnât start my own business
I highly suggest working for a fab shop or a structural company for a few years. Thereâs so much more to being a welder than just welding. Iâve been doing it full time for almost a decade and about 20% of my day is welding. Youâre going to make plenty of mistakes while learning, why not get consistently and reliably paid while learning.
@@sschwartz2509 also, you learn what tools you need for specific things, and you start accruing them before you go on your own
Thanx son great info ..Mike scotland
Excited for this one
can you pipe weld with that lincoln eagle ?
Hey man any videos on the build of that bed ?if so ket me no bro
May I ask where you learned to weld?
You can run ANY tool that has brushes on DC. These motors are called universal motors. Almost all vacuums are brushed motors, chop saws, grinders, anything that needs a butt load of power fast and hard. Never met an air compressor with a universal motor. Don't do that or you will burn up the motor and risk the welder as well. Anything with a transformer like a radio won't work. I have never checked switching power supplies like the newer cell phone chargers but I think those would be OK because they work differently than most other transformer type power supplies.
Damn I never get your video notifications and I have the bell and all that clicked.
What's the name of your wireless mic
That's how I know you know your shit when I see that acetylene bottle upright. The orange leads, where did you get them?
If you're going to do structural work out of a rig you need a suitcase and some c02 and your off to the races. You're behind the 8ball without a feeder in the structural game.
Question, should you be a welder if you're not willing to travel?
You can run the shop saw of the ol 200. Its ac/dc and used it so many times.
Which chop saw bro I havenât found a ac/dc
@@TheWeldLab Dewalt D28715 the one you showed looks like it. But Iâve ran some band saw from Milwaukee that is ac/dc as well with no issues on the ol girl.
You handle housing too? For your school?
No hot just fire videos âïž
ABC fire extinguisher!
A plasma cutter is a game changer when it comes to fabrication in the field. It can cut your fab time in half.
Which one do you recommend
@@Hardstyler981 I recommend anything Hypertherm. I would buy the biggest one your machine can run. That will probably be a 45 or a 65. I run a 105 on my truck and I can sever cut 3â steel.
Depends on thickness of the steel
Could us an LN 25 for thin steel, just change rollers, whip, gun, tips. But, you'd need a 305 or better to push
@@davidseanmacdonald1470 cut steel with a LN 25?
Idk how but these dudes ik welded thin guage fence material with 6013 i couldnt do it without pausing
Wat lincoln machine is that
bro always fukin up his tailgate đđ
I probably have all the tools with the exception of the welding machine đ
No prob, get yourself a plug in the wall lincoln at Home Depot.
You, yourself, are the welding machine lol
Get a plug in welder a cheap generator from harbor freight theyâre pretty good
No compressor?
not me breaking out with a lincwelder 225 DC welder 0.0 (im doing emergency stuff lol)
I've never seen the orange leads before
Hey brotha, names bowman, looking to get into welding myself for a career, wanting to learn more trades, become more of a wekder fabricator in sorts, I can't stop learning about this trade, and I need to get out of my shitty job so I can put my family in a higher spot, just like everybody else, im just ready to get on that money and not stop, I want to learn so much, any information I can further look into your school?
How much for the school?
Is it okay to start my rig with a trailer just starting off? I bought a 4x6 trailer an I was gone customize it up to start with
Iâve seen guys using a trailer. Itâs nice if you donât have the money for a 2nd vehicle. You can drop the trailer when youâre done for the day. Plus it you mount the welder up a few inches on a bracket. You can fit longer pieces of plate, angle, whatever in side
Yes
I got a bobcat 250. Do you think thatâs good enough to keep up with a mobile welding service
Plenty of power for sure. You can have a guy use a chop saw while you're welding.
For structural work and repair is good enough man.
Yes definitely!
Are there any remotes for a bobcat 225?
No. No amphenol plug.
I donât know much about welding but I do want to start. Is community college good way to start?
Yes it is.
30 years welding .take it from me markit place is where you want to get all of your welding equipment. Don't go into any debt.
Is the snake belly tig rig a flex head?
Yea it is
lol what if i make a fencing company straight of welding school???any tips or what ya think of my dumbass
Never use a yeswelder đ
Do you include gas as a consumable that is charged to the customer?
I do , as it costs me approximately $110 of fuel in my machine for a 10 hour day which would be out of my pocket if I didnât include that in my consumables cost. Sometimes I charge for travel time/fuel if itâs more than an hour drive.
Who needs to buy name brand welders when these 500$ multi process welders perform same if not better than Lincoln or miller
Basically this is how most young people think and itâs the truth they want a new truck brand new with all the bells and whistles cause they wanna look like ballers and they end up going bankrupt I seen it happen
Donât understand in America why everything is stick welded, here in the uk everything is mig welded unless it really has to, like out in a field with a break down with farm equipment but itâs usually done with little petrol generator welders not these big diesel ones. Literally stick welding is never done here at all donât understand this bollocks of yanks thinking stick welding is stronger, itâs just inefficient and slow
I wanna learn how to weld but I heard thereâs a lot of math in welding so thatâs whatâs holding me back âŠ.
That's if you're fitting. Welders weld, Fitters have their calculators đ
@@Ruben901 but what if he wants to weld for himself and has to do structural steel
đđ»
buy everlast welders. WAY better than a yeswelder and run with red and blue no problem at a fraction of the price. I run them all day every day.
