7 SIMPLE Welding Services That Can Make You MONEY 

I’m a sophomore in highschool and I’m saving up for a pancake hood and a stick welder.Hopefully by summer I’ll have all my tools to start hustling.

Been running a welding business for the past year, love this channel and how transparent you are with everything, it gives me confidence I'm doing things right, and teaches me when I'm not. Keep this content going, I think you're helping many more people than you may realize. Cheers Rico

I had a welding business for about 7 years. I agree with all the job opportunities listed. Probably 70% of my work was architectural: railings, AC cages, gates, and security doors. The only thing I would add to the video is that I repaired a lot of trailers and lawn equipment. I am getting close to retirement and I am going to start welding again part time.

Your doing it! Thanks for being real about this. You got some great ideas, and I’m not ashamed to tell you I’ve picked up a couple things… I appreciate your perspective.

Whatsup bro thanks for the video .. I work in the citys of Southern California my full Time Welding Business Is Welding up Iron Gates And Fences!! All you guys inspired me to start my own welding business and now I started a RU-vidchannel 🤟🏼👨🏼‍🏭👍🏼

Got out of welding school right when you started posting on RU-vid been along for the whole journey keep doing your thing bro

This video is solid compa. I’m 20 and finishing school and You’re making a huge impact in the career / business I am trying to figure out, la neta. Ima get a Mig/flux inverter this summer and try to get some fence jobs down. Keep it up bro you killing the game 💪💪🇲🇽. Saludos desde the Bay Area. Puro Michoacán 😂😂

10 year business owner, I feel ya bud. im either working or im not 😂😭

I don’t know if your company is a llc but if it is can you go into that and how you do it like insurance and taxes all that? Thanks for your vids bro

Thanks for the video man. I just ordered my first machine today. I started an LLC and got some sanitary welding work but its only on call so I want to get the ball rolling on my own work at home.

just came across this page. Awesome stuff!! I recently moved back to Houston and looking for a welding job!! Hmu if you know anyone please. I’m certified from TWS. I worked for Sabre industries 2 years. Polaris 3months contract in Alabama. the rest is light fab work repairing and installing fences, stairs , sprey painting. Anything helps. Available to start anytime 🙏

Excellent drive ya got! That's what keeps me busy- Lake Havasu 🌞 Az

I’m over here by Beaumont not far from you man, ran my welding company for 3 years before got shut down by Covid, had a nationwide contract doing all of the Urban Air Adventure Parks, ended up building 54 parks across the nation. I just got started back up 2 weeks ago, keep it up man doing great

Man you hit everything i do on a daily basis. Backyard choppers is everything in a backyard

Rock plants and small construction company's always need repairs,resurfacing and hard facing. i have 2 contracts that keep me busy just about year around. A paving company and a rock plant. Besides that tons of fencing and trailer repairs. Hauling companies and landscape companies often need trailer repairs.

Glad you are recovered and back!

Dude I know I'm late to the video but this content is so inspiring for me as a student in a small welding school

I did welding out of back of a pickup for quite a few years, 1 bad customer & I quit, I had a Lincoln Ranger 9, and used a 1987 Toyota 2WD small truck, but long bed. so vehicle doesnt matter, I had generator, along with electric stick & mig machine, or bring the big engine drive. the truck was only vehicle, besides a motorcycle, so I had to load & unload everyday, as also had a primary job. I still do small jobs for people at my home, and field repairs, for people I know, I am slowly coming around to idea of going back out, but for the last decade, 1/2 or more of my work has been auto-body metal fabrication. cutting out & replace rusty metal. but I am tired of that, as I have done that off & on for 35 years. I like idea of making something from what I have, but cant get decent ideas, but I probably have over 1,000 grocery store shelves, and many racks, displays, all were free, ddint haul off due to cheap steel prices. but at a loss to design something to make money from

Keep working! Keep teaching - I learn as much from teaching as I do welding/school

Good job bro your a real professional and I like where you going with this.! All it takes is motivation and hard work and persistence to make business happen and the fact that your teaching others is outstanding.! I’m inspired by you…😎👍🏽

Straight and to the point no BS. BTW when your shirts get back in stock don't forget to stock the larger sizes for us big boys.

What kind of generator does the guy use to run his machine and would u be able to run a tig welder at 150 amps ?

Question what size/type of generator do you use to run that Lincoln electric 140 because I have one and I’m tired of having to find a wall outlet all the time

Great business acuity! Thanks for the ideas

My manz sounding like he wanna cry but low-key holding back them tears. Listen to his voice quiver😥😢

Damn great video!!!!! I just bought a Miller 211 and a hypertherm 30xp plasma, and want to do side gigs and came across this video!!!!! 💯

another good one man, keep up the hard work!

my dad can make you a welding bed . he's on the east side. i just started to learn to weld cuz I'm the only one in my family that doesn't know how.

Very cool, I just started learning to weld like a year or two ago, I really love it so I’m trying to learn what I can make the same thing of over and over I guess you guys call it production welding anyway I fab like canopies and the rafters and wall brackets but I want something I can do on my own like a product, any ideas?? Oh it has to be preferably aluminum

You should weld some kind of lock on those heavy doors so the wind won't blow them down on someones head

Much respect to you brother. Your videos are very helpful to me. One day I'll try to help with merch. Thank you for your content.

Hell yeah brother! Thanks for your advice

my man straight kills me with the humor. He said to who stole those ac's throug cage congrats your a professional crook lol

Service tech. A 10000 watts generator can run must under 250 amps welding machines for those that don't have big welder

Liability insurance for the small business has been most difficult. The limitations imposed by the insurance companies prevent common repairs that people need. Read all the fine print so you won't do a job and find you have no coverage just when you need it. If you get sued the judgment won't go away. This problem started for my little sanitary process welding-fab company in 2007 and eventually caused my husband to retire. As we own our california home failure to have adequate liability will distroy us financially. So any thoughts out there welders ?

I really enjoy your videos. Great content!

❤ I love dis my son is into welding

How you a welder and you ain't got no welding rig 🤭 You wild foe dat one. Good risa doe. I been seeing ya vedios from time to time. I remember when you was renting a machine and now you got ya shop. Dazz wuz'up. If you don't have a plane run, if you can't run walk and if you can't walk crawl but by all means keep moving. Keep doing ya thing bruh. It's inspiring. Heck, I'm finna hit dem streets tomorrow. Da mail man ain't got nuttin on me.

Keep doin what you do baby! _God bless_

Help me out, you charge hourly based on your experience? Or you have a idea of the price of the material? You ever price the material first then give a estimate to the potential client?

Thank you man

How much would you bid to do a stainless pipe job upgrade from 3/4 inch pipe and 1 inch pipe to 2 inch and 3 inch stainless re a d blue prints have another fitter welder working with you. The company will provide material argon and wire. About a month long working 50 hours a week what would you bid be here in Texas. Give me an idea I might need another pipe fitter too

Awesome video too thanks

Can you make a video on how to estimate jobs like simple jobs for welders, for example like how to estimate on building a gate etc etc that’ll be great content

Good info Thanks

How do you go on about quoting jobs like fence repairs/fence additions? Especially if they provide the material. Is there different situations when you should charge hourly vs for the job? Or should one charge hourly overall?

I just bought a cheapo HF welder yesterday, and have NO idea what I'm doing, and don't have anyone to show me. Just vids.

Thanks , like that , Buddy ..

How much you charge to build a/c cage installed included

What part of Houston?

Oye mucho ayuda, ahora puedo usar mi 3g cert sience no jobs outhere

Be careful with the teaching part. If you are not accredited and can not provide a legal certificate upon class completion or even provide an inspector with your extended education credentials it could mean lawsuits. A local welder of over 30 years started teaching people to weld after he retired. He was a great welder that worked on everything from pipelines to nuclear plants to oil rigs. He was just teaching the basics to hobby guys. One of his former students took a job building weight benches for a local high school. This would be considered high stress or structural. After two of the benches collapsed and injured high school kids the school and parents came after the guy who in turn implicated the teacher. Even though technically the teacher was not to blame for this guy's stupidity, he was also charged and sued. He never taught another person to weld. Luckily he kept a copy of all of his students information and had a lawyer draw up a letter to explain that he only had taught simple, basic and decorative welding for personal use only. He required all of them to sign a no liability letter.

I need help how do you quote a a/cage? And where do you recommend to buy metal to fab in Houston???

People stealing ACs out here in LA too
