Maybe a stupid idea or dream I came up with was to have a go at a bit of mobile welding.
I have varius qualifications, including a year welding training. Im only 18 so like all other unemployed peeps looking for work, its very hard to get a job without University grades.
Im thinking of doing a little mobile welding for repairs and light or very light construction. MY aim is not to make a fortune, mearly to do a part time job that I enjoy and earn a little money from it as I live at home and am fed up of it
Will have a driving licence shortly and can use the company VW van where I live so space wouldnt be a problem untill I can buy something more suitable.
Crazy? probably. Any advice to stop me doing this would probably be apreciated
If this could work out, what kind of generator would you suggest? I would also buy a bigger Mig from Weldequip (Portamig) and already have a Plasma cutter on the way. I can Tig, Gas, and Mig weld, never did much Arc welding however. But I could do evening courses for it at a local college where I studied Mig Tig and OxyA welding. I do own a Tig welder that works very well and could get me going. Would I need an Ac/Dc generator?
I currently fix small tools and wheelbarrows, though fun, I would prefer a little more variation, and being on the road a little.
Also would insurance be a problem of carrying gas? other I could do disposable cylinders.
Hope I dont seem like a nutter, im just getting a little desperate to be outside of home more
