I rented a small shop for about three years and was fairly successful. But just being in that shop alone all day everyday sucked. And I would often not get out there early enough and end up working all hours of the night to get projects done. I think if I had a property where I could have a welding shop in my yard I would set up another welding shop to a certain capacity. But yeah running a mobile truck is so much better. You are not tied to one place everyday. And the day to day somehow just seems easier.
I do the same thing if I have a late night I don't end up staring until 9 or 10 then the next day drags late too. I make an effort to only be in the shop 3 days a week or so
@@DarlingtonFarm renovations, woodshop, farming, guns, welding, some wise words thrown in…you’ve certainly kept it interesting. RU-vid might stop suggesting you as its algorithm steers us towards other things, but I hope your viewers keep coming back and seeing what you are up to.
I got a 10 ft 110 ton press brake I’d sell for $10k. Has a cnc backgauge. 208/230v 3ph. Works flawless, still under power and gets used every day…however I upgraded to a 14’ 200 ton so time to let the 10 footer go.
I work big machine shops let's just say Big Fab shops in fact you're sitting in front of one of them when I work for Mega manufacturing piranha ironworker was a product not a company piranha was built by arrow machine which was a subdivision of Mega Manufacturing there electric bill was astronomical I work in the specialty division of Reno Technologies built mainly food processing equipment prototype several big jobs in that shop you're probably driving one of them mainly assembly line type stuff so I do welding fabrication as a rig service one of my welding Buddies has a small shop ironworker typical stuff a couple guys making fence panels and then a couple more guys installing the panels while he's out selling the jobs it is extremely hard to sell the work and then turn around and do it I don't know how you manage I mainly do weld out and then I'm pretty efficient at getting slabs ready to put sheet metal on so I'm not out knocking on doors looking for work people call me and ask me if I want to go to work I tried to do what you're doing and there was no way not for me anyway peace and blessings in godspeed with your business bro play the work of your hands be blessed
Keep a good set of pictures of the work you have done. Make sure you have your business stuff taken care of, LLC, insurance, Bank account, billing software and everything. There is good money in it but honestly I would wait until after the election I fear we're all n for a bumpy ride. Buy up a basic set of tools, welder l, saw blocks ECT. Breweries would be a good place to start to get some small jobs going
