Your really at the horizon of something amazing with the channel , keep doing what your doing bro only up from here bless you and the success coming your way 🙏🏽
Looks good. I just did 2 pole extensions at home . I had to add 2 feet to the too of them. One was a 3x3” box tube 3/16” wall and the other was a 3x4” box tub with 3/16” wall. I squared mine up with some old angle iron tacked in place and used ESAB Dual Shield 7100 Ultra with 100% CO2 for gas. Filled in nicely and worked like a charm. Keep up the videos. Love seeing those jobs.
So, what I've done in the past for connecting to brick is to find where i need to drill for the plate, mount the plate, and then tack the rail up to the already mounted plate. This way, I dont have to deal with gaps or putting stress on the bolts or plate when tightening the mounting.
It’s never just railing or whatever the case if you have that attitude before you know it your quality drops and then your just another welder out there you need to treat every job as if it’s your most important job ever
How do you accept payments? Straight Cash? CC? Invoice? Square? Something I have found very hard is finding a payment processor that is capable of being trusted 100%. Thanks for the great/informative videos!
We had a penny pinching tight ass customer who balked at our first invoice even though we agreed on the price prior to the door install. Something about "he doesn't pay taxes",well buddy it ain't my job to subsidize your whole fat family. I was just blessed with a broken leg so my kid picked me up and put the customer in his place. Kid went up years later to trouble shoot an op,guy refused to pay the travel charge. When we high lifted one of the doors my kid put dude made pizza and offered us nothing. Fat folks gotta eat. The last job we did for him was two doors on separate invoices,$500 deposit on each door and noted on the invoices. Job gets done and we get paid ,good to go. I get a call a month later,customer states that the inspector says that Mille Lacs county requires a wind load rating. Ok. I told him we can add struts to the big door and sticker them both for $125 total. Cheap ass says we should have known about wind load. I do what the customer orders,I am sub,his contractor should have said something about it. I don't do codes or law. Customer files a complaint with his card company and my son is down $500 because we double charged him. Liar. He was all butthurt because he obeys his ego. Sent both invoices to Square and my son had the money back in his account in two months!
gasless flux core he chose it first because it requires no shielding gas, dual shield flux requires a backup 75-25 mix he didn't like how it was laying so he said he wanted to make it look best he could so he switched to probably .035 70s6 hard wire for aesthetic purposes... Idk may be wrong but that's my guess he seems to think alittle like me idk only second video so far haha last one was the hand bend square railings
I know it sucks but are they strict about hot works & welding permits down there? I'm from Mass, its hard doin stuff the right way with permits...they make you feel like you're doing something wrong, bustin balls and then they don't show up for fire watch. Just curious, thanks
@@MeltinMetalAnthony I follow the spaceX spaceport build on Nasaspaceflight.com. that would be an interesting place to work as a welder making spaceships and launch towers. elon musk is building the future while MMA is keeping what we have functioning and safe. keep up the good work MMA! your channel is interesting and informative. thanks for the metabolic links. please give a review of the welding shirt in the future. i do a little tree work and it is amazing how safe i feel using both hands while tied off to the tree in my climbing harness. it is a game changer for working "outside the rails" at height. if you have 2 slings attached, you can move down the line of railings at the outside while one is always attached.
What mix of gas were you initially using and what did you change to? Sounds like you changed processes as well; from dual shield fluxcore to GMAW short circuit?
Those shirts are fire retardant yeah? I like that. I work for a utility and they only gave me a big ass jump suit. fits like siht and it gets wicked hot in it. Been trying to get a shirt and jeans. Idk if they need the company logo though but i usually wear a vest over it anyways so nobody would even notice
@@joe-en5vh Since he did not cope the tubes for a good fit to the pipe and flux core is more penetrating plus harder to fill gaps especially on light material, stick welding would be more difficult. Also, probably the reason he switched to MIG.
@@peetky8645 that’s to much for one stick I just bought 2. 24 footers for 85 bucks that still expensive but 170 for 1 stick of 1 is ridiculous don’t believe that. Yes I agree metal is up I sheet of 16 gauge 5x10 144 bucks here
