#welder #technique #craftsmen This welding technique is one every welder should have in his back pocket! You’ve seen me do it before, and I use it at least weekly! If one stick won’t fill that gap, that’s right Texas Tig! If your welding in a non code environment this is a great trick when your in a bind, otherwise I always suggest a backing bar if possible, but the situation we have ourselves in today will not allow that. These little welding tips and tricks will go a long way to help you in your welding and fabrication business! Here’s a few of the pieces of gear I use in the video- Stinger - https://amzn.to/3zazMRx Welding Helmet- https://amzn.to/3EDCxvT Welding Helmet Neck protector- https://amzn.to/3sKEYue Welding Gloves- https://amzn.to/3z9roBH Welding Rods- https://amzn.to/3HzMBbl

#tools #welding #welder For this Sunday Special I show off this must have tool for anyone in the welding industry at any capacity. It’s cheap, just $23 for the new version of my hammer cable crimper! I was lucky enough to inherit this in my crane truck El Caracol. I got a lot of cool tools when I bought this truck. None cooler than this one…. Well maybe not my crane ! If you weren’t aware of this quick way to crimp welding cables and battery cables, I’m glad I could show it to you. I figured while I finished outfitting my other welding truck I would show you this truck tool! Hope this helps! Here’s the link to the modern version https://amzn.to/3sA7ONO

#welding #brewing #beer A few months back Tim from Craft Life Brewing contacted me and told me about some issues he was having with another company in the area. He brought me in the projects they had and I repaired them and made them work once again! It got him back in business. But it wasn’t efficient, we had remedied a few of the issues his brewing system had, but not all of them. So today we wrap it up and weld the rest of the small items the brewery needed. Tim and his team have excellent beer! I encourage all of you to go check them out! Here is his Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/CraftLifeBrewing/ and Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/craftlifebrewingco/?hl=en Here are a few tools I used in the video- Hobart welding Helmet- https://amzn.to/3qo7dMv Welding Gloves- https://amzn.to/32tYv7c Empire Level - https://amzn.to/3HdX77A Welding Jacket- https://amzn.to/3Jjh5Qv

#entrepreneur #contractor #smallbusiness If your in Business long enough eventually it’s going to happen to you, especially if your a contractor. So what do you do when a customer bounces a check, or refused to pay? Take action and cut that project apart?! Today I talk about what legal action you can take in order to get paid and keep from getting screwed by bad customers or company’s. Being in business is tough, but not being able to collect your money can make a hard thing a lot harder. The situation can seem insurmountable. Again guys I’m not a business advisor or attorney, just a guy who got had by bad people and figured out how to get paid!

#entrepreneur #welding #fieldwelder The Customer needed it NOW! So I happily obliged. As a mobile welder I have to have a minimum to cover my truck moving. So like most of the guys in my area I charge $300 to show up. That will buy you 3hours of my time. Fortunately this job was 5 minutes away and with set up and break down only took me about a hour! The customer was happy to have such quick service and I rolled on to the next job. The Wc 24 controller I use to hook my spool gun to my trailblazer has paid for itself 100 times over. It really made welding aluminum on the fly easy. Here’s the link to how you can hook your Trailblazer to your Spoolmatic. https://youtu.be/gZlO1FGuX0I Here’s some of the gear I used.

#welding #emergency #isitpossible Today we test a old myth I heard about, welding with a car battery, some jumper cables and a coat hanger. I’ve wanted to put this one to the test for quite awhile now. So today we finally get to try it out! I also test 6010 , 7018 and some er70-s . The results in this video are for demonstration purposes only. So don’t try this at home!

#weldingmachine #breakdown #entrepreneur While taking care of a small job down in Dover Florida, my SAE 350 decided to quit on me in the middle of welding! So we go Visit John at Magne Gas in Clearwater to see if he can fix the old Lincoln welder up! I want to thank the people at Magne Gas for letting me film there and always helping me in my business! This place is like a Candy Store for welders plus John fixes machines on site. Here is there website : https://magnegas.com/clearwater/ Here’s the link to a few tools I used in the video.

#rebuild #equipment #welding Today we take care of this box blade repair for our good customers down in Lutz. If you seen last Friday’s video this is me finishing that repair up. I definitely underestimated the amount of work this thing needed. But it’s bound to happen every now and then. It took me about 20 hours to rebuild this thing. I was estimating 12. That’s the life of a independent mobile welder!

#migwelding #fatherandson #welderlife Of course I weld for free for the man that gave me life! this guy right here is as solid as they come. He taught me everything I know, well about business and life that is. He definitely aint no welder, but he is a legend around these parts for his trucking business. This guy is the reason I got into welding. I've been welding his stuff back together for about 10 years now. Since I started this crazy career I haven't looked back. I hope you enjoy getting to know Big Anthony as they call him, cause I know im happy he's my dad.
