Really good to see the way you treat Tommy👍 A little bit of praise,respect and appreciation goes a long way. A boost for his self esteem and a boost for productivity. Win win, Happy crew = happy you.

There's a lot to the production welding I didn't realize before I started doing it back in my younger day and learned fast the importance of the proverbial jig, I'd have to make 3 1/2 units per 8 hr shift to get top pay (piece work) and maybe rework some that didn't pass inspection and still do the jobs setup for that 8 hrs..it's was a year and a half of learned something daily. Makes a mind twirl some but it was fun. Thanks for the chatter here Richard, memories don't pass till you do (my memories and my passing) !!

Hello boss

I love watching this man! You've got a great setup going over there!

your energy and enthusiasm for figuring out and implementing a better way are contagious. i hope your shop survived the past year. i like those pocket welders. fun, versatile and very capable. that thing where it is set up above the work is total money. i'm used to LN25's with 1/16" 232 or esab .072. looking forward to more on your channel.

Your an inspiration to anyone who has aspirations of starting their own business, myself included. Very good sir. I will get there one day

Total Bid,21,000, materials 5,300 includes wire, 4,150 in labor ,1,250 for overhead(utilities,power, property,ect) profit 10,300.

I use to do just what you are doing using SMAW. That was long time ago. The process you are doing I would do. Still got the touch with the stick welding just as good as the MIG. This brings back memories. Keep up the great work showing others the working process.

that phantom head nod is so relatable.

This is at least 6 months of Fab experience in one video! I appreciate the knowledge

Thumbs up for how you treat your employees!

Straight forward and to the point. EXCELLENT Explanation!!

Being open and willing to learn is always great asset for an employee

after listening to the last part of the video, you're a good boss. My rule has always been and this was taught to me by my father - never ask an employee to do something you wouldn't do yourself. One in all in.

As we start our shop this just helped me a lot 🙏

Can’t wait to see the next video, with install and payment

I admire your honesty about sponsorship. Even more, I enjoy your approach to content. Keep it up!

Nice job, I enjoy your videos and hope you continue to do more. Would love to start my own business and stop working for the man but haven't been able to bring myself to take that leap yet. Keep up the good work.

FYI we had 2 weeks ago a scrap steel price of $450 now it's back down to $350 so always watch within 2 weeks the price jumped and than 2 weeks later dropped so check them out weekly every Tuesday with your biggest Rail attached Scrap Yards, because those give you better pricing.

You should put your welder on a boom (long swing arm) so u can access half your shop with the one welder. Build the base with pipe and then the brace arm with "I" beam.

You may want to build an adjustable "crane" for the 15 feet of gun welding lead. Nothing outrageous, maybe from some 1.75" inch pipe thin wall, (6' Ft. long) and some 1.5" inch pipe thin wall.(4' ft. long.) Ideal, the "fall" of the welding lead, should be to the middle of the welding table. The crane should pivot equal to the center of the table. If you want, hit me up via E-Mail, I have a "MAST" design from March 2004, I'll send to you, DXF format. If I remember correctly, I was copying from a major manufacture of welding supplies. With the mast in hand, you just need to build a vertical (adjustable 6'ft. to maybe 10' ft) support, wouldn't take much.

good to see actual work nowadays

I have been doing production for a while now and I never buy local unless it Argon Gas. I just bought a Thermal Dynamics (Esab) 60 amp plasma cutter. Got it delivered for $1650 all included (Ebay. I called my local welding supply they don't even buy it for that price from their supplier. I also get 44 pound rolls of mig wire $70 , cant beat that. Ebay is a great source for a manufacturer. Hi volume lower prices. This is where the money is made. Of coarse i'm good at material prices but I need to work on speeding up my production.

Very nice jig makes you bang out the products super fast

Accuracy is not always consistent with welded place holder jigs. Especially if your running more then one jig. It just depends on how much accuracy a job requires.

I'd love to get some production jobs that I could complete with my everlast welders. It sure would help pay some bills around here.

It is a amazing workshop

Iam working on a production welding job right now of 216 pieces. Each piece requires 20 inches of torch cutting, grinding and 60 inches of welding

i am also a welder, may I apply for a job at your company because I am impressed and amazed by your company

Jig is very critical to keep spec's within it's torance's, thank's for showing this part. Do you buy wire in bulk for discount? Shop I worked out of bought pallet at a time. Love the big shop, the big table's, weld er up. Production work having good set up help's on production time saving money. Look's like Quality is key in production, being consistent from start to finish is harder then most factory in. Moving part's on jig's have to be checked, QA engineer that can read spec sheet's saving time but QA, is expensive. So doing all the assembly on this job you all killed it. Nice work.

Hey do you have a video on what buisness you built. As in s-corp, llc, soal.... what insurance do you have and what does it cover? What licenses did you have to have, what permits with the city? How did you go about getting it all set up? Thank you.

@42Fab

3 жыл бұрын

Something like this is possible, but a limited topic as each area is going to be different. We're an LLC, require worker's comp, most cities in my area require a license, which is just a "pay a fee" tax in disguise, permits for each job (again, mostly a fee and making sure any electrical is permitted or allowed), Everything but the insurance is a matter of calling the city or state to get it started. Insurance is about shipping for the right agent to handle your needs. There are tax benefits over an LLC, but when you're starting out, or have a high reinvestment rate, they are not worth the additional admin costs.

Jig vs fixture A jig might hold the work piece(s), but it always guides the tool. A fixture only holds the work piece(s). My friend, you are definitely working with a fixture.

I design machines, fixtures, and jigs for a living and some of my customers, who are themselves engineers, would poo poo anything that was mislabeled. I used to use jig and fixture interchangeably, but I can no longer do that.

Cracking programe a jig saves so much time in the long run 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁✌️

Guessing about $4900 in materials, and $9,800 in labor. Working in rough numbers of course. Do you total your materials and mark them up, or do you mark them up by item? I use a sliding scale, the less an item costs, the more it is marked up. Using a rough rule of thumb labor is typically double the materials.

make table jigs where i work but its basically the same thing all day everyday just different sizes

I need to work with you!!!

we spent a week building a jig for a catwalk standard section(20ft) and then used it for the next 10 years making those sections for the tops of grain silo's, they were so good that the engineers saved time and money by using them as their standard.(i "helped" build this jig as an apprentice then used it as a Jman) Just curious,, why dont you use a plywood table to weld stuff out on? that way you can sweep the splatter off instead of grinding it off?(is it a space issue or not wanting to move the plate top you have sitting on that table?) i've always built jigs as a frame i can put on a table instead of welding them to the table for this reason, that way i get to keep the jig, label it, and use it again later if needed?
