    how long do you think it would take you to break even on it? You going to make business cards? If I was you I would start an LLC to protect yourself and your assets in the event of a legal issue, in the sue happy culture we live in in the good ol' USA.

    It may take a while. May not. Depends how lucky I get. Can’t really judge the market as you can’t bid or get welding jobs without having the machine ready.

    I would make cards and advertise as much as I can. I’m terrified but can’t be scared forever and I want to get more into welding. So I gotta do this.
