Welding on the side for extra money I got a job tig welding aluminum 6 months ago. I only have 6 months of experience and i weld in different positions, mostly corners and flat surfaces.
I've pretty much mastered this. I'm getting really good at the whole tig welding thing. I can make pretty welds if i take my time, or ones with V shaped beads if i go really fast. I weld on a miller syncrowave DX.

I want to buy one now and weld somethign myself that i can sell or put the welder i buy on a truck and do mobile aluminum repairs or whatever. What chances would i have of surviving in doing aluminum welding repair for other people? I could try to spend a few months putting together a 5' x 10' Steel utility trailer or something of the kind.
Just buy yourself a good v mig and you will be the king of your neighborhood fixing stuff for everybody. I get people a day bringing stuff over to fix and i don't advertise much, except for my website that no one sees, its all word of mouth.
But you never know whats comming in and you need to be prepared to do it all or turn it down to someone else. Also start making small wrought iron stuff to sell the women love them and they talk alot I have lots of idea's if you need some Bob Wright Spool Gun conversion.

But some times I might do something for free just to split the difference in cost,and they seem fine with that. So my point is if your going to spend the money and get a welder for portable repairs do it and have fun but also make sure you know how to do the job right and if someone ask any questions you should be up on any info you can becuase they will allways ask if you know what your doing just to pick your brain.
Ideas 4 Welding Projects. Originally posted by WACKO WELDER View Post. I am in the same boat. Soon to finish fast-track welding class. Looking for ideas to make a few extra dollars on the side. Thanks in advance to anyone who may have some suggestions. Steve aka Wacko Welder.
More to think about Krazay, I was just where you are a couple of years ago. You have a talent and want to expand on it, possibly to pad your pocket a little. There is definately potential there to make additional money doing different welding side jobs. If there is one thing I would recommend, it would be to "start small".
What else will you need to fabricate a trailer, repair a broken bicycle seat post, put an addition on an aluminum or steel canopy? You can't imagine the types of requests for jobs make money welding on the side get. If you already have a good paul roche stockbroker ma of tools, then you're probably good to go.
If not, this is where starting off small comes in. If you're going to buy equipment, start with the items you'll need for cutting, preparing, fitting, clamping, etc Once you have this type of equipment, lean toward adding the machine to do the work you'll be doing at first. You'll soon find out that you're going to have to add more equipment to your arsenal. Unfortunately, one machine won't do "everything". If you're truly make money welding on the side in doing this for extra money and still have some things to learn like all of uspick up some books or magazines and read, read, read!!!
Just like you'll here by most other members of this forum, you can be successful doing your own stock market simulation game lesson plan, but it'll take a lot of quality work, a kind heart and word of mouth. Start with a small plan for yourself and go from there. Lots of luck to you and DON'T EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU, "YOU CAN'T DO Stock market dow jones history I've come a long way, let me know if I can help with anything.
You can private message me on this forum also. Have a good indiana stock market simulation I have lots of tools but what i really need is a chopsaw for myself and clamps! Keep on welding what ever you do, it pays the bills. I understand you must be pretty good already at tig aluminum. I have done nothing but tig aluminum for 11 seasons straight. I would call myself what ever name you choose and include aluminum welding in my name Then if you get a biz phone when you get simply listed in the yellow pages you will get the majority of the first calls.
I did it and didn't realize it would work out that way. I used to get fancy ads but with this biz I stumbled into this great knowledge I have a Bobcat welder but I now have a Dynasty dx and if I was to choose only one it would be the Dynasty. Times are a changing. If you spend your hard earned money on a engine drive make sure it will run a newer inverter if you wish to weld aluminum mobile.
The inverter will go indoors and weld in places you would have to string leads otherwise. Everybody knows me because I drive a junk truck hauling TOP-NOTCH welding equipment and I get all the good jobs from the guys who drive newer trucks hauling old junk wore out underpowered welders.

I also stay at the top of my game by sticking to aluminum. PULSE SPRAYIN' MONSTER Miller Dynasty with AC independent expansion card Miller Dynasty DX "Blue Lightning" Miller Bobcat NT what I began my present Biz with! Miller A Spoolgun Miller WCA Miller Spectrum Miller Thunderbolt my first machine bought new Miller Digital Elite Titanium I recomend making a product out of aluminum or stainless steel instead of doing metal railings unless they're fancy fancy.
With aluminum and stainless you can do custom one-off pieces and charge more. If you're planing on going into business making custom rails, than thats a different story.
