Anything welding

Ole Lincoln welds pretty good. The one cylinder is loud as heck but welds smooth!

 

Hey guys sorry I've never had to replace th tank yet but how much welding do you think I could get done. I've got to fully weld up a winch mount from scratch, pretty much a us offroad winch mount

 

the rig. She ain't much but she'll do.

 

You should be fine

 

welds pretty dang smooth.

 

Got lead? Running 400' of cable to my stinger for this job...

Patching old bolt holes in a water tower

 

I want to run the crane!

 

Thanks ill go until i run it out, or replace it after im done doing this bumper

 

Well tank is almost done for. Maybe a few passes.

Quite pleased today though I was fighting myself because my welds got sloppy then checked my tip and it was a done for. Then back to the good stuff

 

Saw this earlier. Insane!

 

I've been seeing that everywhere. I want to try and make the log. Looks like just 6010/11

 

Idk. Kinda looks stainless too.

 

Do you charge overtime if you're working for cash for someone? Like if you work 50 hours do you charge 40 straight and 10 OT or just 50 at the normal rate?

 

With me it depends on how the job was bid Time and materials or just X amount of money for the whole job.

Then emergency jobs the customer always paid at least double the normal rate sometimes more.

When one under bids a job as does happen you learn and move on.

 

Was that ever discussed in the bid? If OT time was never discussed and you try and charge for it they will tell you to pound sand.

IMO OT is a union, hourly, etc type of pay. You are working for yourself. You don't get paid OT. You set your rate and charge that.

That being said, if I'm working outside of regular buisness hours, like tonight I'm starting a job at midnight, my rate doubles. However the client knows this, I'm very upfront about that.

But if you start a job at 3pm at it takes you til 10pm you can't charge then for after hours rates unless you specifically say after X:30 pm my rate doubles.

 

Ok welding experts, got a question for you. Next month, I am replacing my firewall in my car. I am pulling out the 18ga original and replacing it with a 11ga sheet that I will cut and make a recess (4") for my motor. Question is, should I plug weld the new firewall to the 1" flange that I will leave from the original firewall or should I just use panel adhesive and rivets and only weld where the firewall meets the body mount.

 

I would definitely weld the entire thing.
