How do you set a price on your work
meancoyote replied to billp's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
$65.00 an hour. for welding, forging, machining whatever, I just go at $65 an hour. Most of what I do is weld on heavy equipment and trailers and stuff. -
I have a 180c with the spool gun, it is very good for the money. The wire drive is all metal. Its welds all day with no problems.

the forge pan looks like it was part of a wire reel

I use HSS the most, but I like to use carbide too.

I cut them often. I take off the valve and fill them with dish soap and water and let it sit for a week or two, then cut with a torch or plasma cutter.

I do not know of any other store where a person can buy a gallon of milk, diapers, a can of spray paint, a shotgun and ammo, 15 live goldfish, a blender, a pair of spiderman underwear, a bottle of jack daniels, new tires put on the truck and a bag of manure, while you are waiting for your anti-depressant prescription filled.

Things are going slower then I want them too. I have not had much money to put into it lately, so Im making do with stuff I can get free. Dunno what the roof is gonna be made of yet, depends on what I find laying around. I made it a octagon shape to make the best use of the 8' angle iron I used to build it. Learning alot about electrical stuff right now. The electrical is the worst part of my current shop, so I want to do this one good.

Two weeks ago I called 911 twice, and the police never came. Its sad to say, but you are lucky the police came. I live in a very rural area, and crime is rare, but I keep a AR15 with 31 rounds near me most all the time.

oxy/propane or oxy/acetylene
meancoyote replied to phil shelton's topic in Welding/Fab General Discussion
I have both oxy-propane and oxy-acetylene in my shop, they both work. Oxy-propane is cheaper. -

I have 3 chop saws, a dewalt abrasive saw, a harbor freight abrasive saw and a evolution cutoff saw, like what you call a dry saw. I like the evolution saw the best, very fast cut.

I like that I can just turn around to use other tools.
