mobile robot cell separator for firewood processorbearing mounts cut and folded for a good customer who welds them himself...
Turntable for putting up poles arrived inwith snapped pin and butchered sleeve . Plasma out the sleeve was handiest option . Have since plated it up and fitted new sleeve . Needed a 41.5 pin in sleeve with a reduced end for ram but the guy turning it went mad on it and made a full 39mm pin so is...
Iv worked for all sorts and always found the ones people talk bout being the best to pay hardest get money from . As regards 100% up front I’d tell you to jog on way above standards for anyone in my eyes . I base my deposit on materials and minimum loss if I’m making gates for someone that cost...
Panic job for company up the road from us took from this with 20 extra holes to this with the necessary holes . Usually make a whole new piece but was a rush job and press being used for another job

There’s a long going idea that anyone can weld and that it’s not a real trade . Talk to most people and they will happily pay a chippy sparks or plumber double what the welder asks . Even in intustrial welder fitting brackets for a plumber will be on nearly double what the steel erector on the...
