Every time i see a miller bobcat come up on craigs I run through these thoughts Don't think I'm quite good enough at it though to be comfortable doing it for pay.

I need to web wheel more often...

 

Millermatic 190

 

I'm faaaaaaar from good enough; I plan on doing free work for awhile to gain traction for that word-of-mouth advertising.

 

Looks mint to me

 

I've got 1/0 cable and a welding supply vendor I bet I could get a clamp and stinger from

 

Nice duty cycle on that bad boy!

 

This one even comes with a trailer:

Lots of arc time definitely feels like the way to go, especially if its a variety of situations.

 

That'd be legit as hell.

You'll have to text me the invoice once you're done!

 

My grandparents had one of these in their basement in Missouri, looked exactly like this. Every year as kids we'd be there 2 - 3 times to visit and our play area was down in the basement (was a crazy small house and my mom was one of 4 kids).



us kids had all kinds of ghost stories revolving around that toilet and I was scared shitless to be anywhere near it lol

 

I had no idea there was a name for this

I looked at a house built in the 80s that had one in a basement bedroom, carpet, closets, and all

 

My grandparents house has one right next to the furnace. Best spot ever.

 

I didn't know there was either until this morning, I always figured it was put there with the intent of making a bathroom but never got around to it. But apparently this was what it was

my grandparents' one was never operational as far back as I remember, which just added to the mystery of it

my cousin dropped a deuce in it as a joke once and my grandpa was fucking livid lol

 

They do! Especially if you're willing to work on construction equipment. Those fuckers will pay TOP dollar for a mobile welder to come on site.

But then you've got to be on call 24/7 (if you own your own business) I like my sleep too much otherwise I would've done it when I worked at the Bobcat dealership

 

Guy I saw round here was advertising 40/hour shop welding, 70/hour mobile. I bet he could do better than that with certain customers.

 

How long of cable leads do you want?

 

Huh. Yea 70 seems way to lol in my book, I knew a guy in PA that charged 200 an hour for the versalifts and things like that and he had to turn down work all the time

 

fuck.

*looks at that bobcat on craigslist again*

 

Yea, that guy was going to buy me a truck and welder to join his operation cause he was so busy. But I was 19 and wasn't confident enough in my ability to jump on the offer. Plus I was trying to have a social life so 24hr on call wasn't good when I liked dri king as much as I did

 

Can almost get a little roundabout going
