    That is so cheap, I just went and bought one. I was going to build a cart but I keep putting it off and it’ll cost more than $$40.

    So all you welding pros. Have a shop welding me in some vbands between my headers and exhaust on my v8 Caddy. Also an o2 bung for a wbo2. I'm supplying the parts so just labor. Wondering how much labor is a reasonable price. Been many years since I've paid for some welding labor. Every shop I called wouldn't work on my "offroad only" exhaust due to this epa crap. I have a mig, really thinking in need to get my own tig for SS.

    Even if it's a 10 minute job, you still are paying for an hour.

    $125 minimum.

    Structural iron is so much fun to weld. Zero chance of burn thru.

    The fact no one wants the work means expensive .

    Jesus that goes so low. You could use that for a ton of stuff besides fab. Working on motors, motorcycles, heavy equipment, and like you said can load shit on and off a truck. Awesome idea.
