Had a go at the friendly chat that is our Podcast the other day. It was great to chat, though I don't think we got through a full topic before we shot off to another one. Just like a normal conversation I suppose.
Perhaps you can direct me to the episode. I'm looking or one on smaw. One that talks about rods, when to use each one and why. What arc force does and hot start. Inverter vs transformer vs the rotary style found on gas powered units. Buzz boxes and the limitations on ac only machines. I know Jody has experience in pipe, but what about structural steel welding, wether on a skyscraper or oil rig or a road bridge.
I personally don't have much interest for the small, tight tolerance that Crummy does (don't think that I don't respect what you do, you are a VERY skilled welder. It's just not my cup of coffee). I always had more of an interest in out door welding. Either putting some 36" gas pipe together, or glueing a broken excavator back together.

No idea mate, 4 separate microphones catching all manner of interference, and its heavily edited. Could be anything. (Not a cow though. At least from my end. )
Glad you like the show. I loved the chance to chat, Pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.

It's interesting, but definitely not for everyone. There is heaps of repetition. The job I'm on at the moment is part of an order of 1200 vehicles, so there will be the same welds for a while.

I've found i prefer the layout at this site, seems to be organized a little better. Altho who thought light grey text on a white background was a good idea.Otto Nobedder wrote: All the episodes are archived here:

Glad you liked it, Dave. I didn't think I could offer much but I reckon I could have talked for another couple of hours.

Artie,
Thank you very much! It's been a long time coming but I finally made the jump. So far it has been a blast and a learning curve. You think you have it all figured out and something new comes your way (or more specifically difficult customers).
On this note, the next episode, 61 or 62 depending on how it all works out, will specifically deal with growing your business. I asked a lot of questions and am hoping that you, yes you reading this, can offer some incite and opinion.

My advice is to be near a large city or you better have a niche! Now I just need to find a niche!Superiorwelding wrote:Artie,

A thought on the "first job is free" strategy: make sure you put the invoice into the hand of the decision maker, and make sure you explain to that decision maker right then and there why he's getting the credit. If you don't, or if you leave it for them or mail it in, the invoice may get swept up into the accounts payable process, and the only person to notice is the a/p tech. Also, give a copy of that invoice to your tax guy ao he can take it out of the tax bill.

More thoughts on the "finding new business" episode. City / county / state agencies put jobs out for competitive bid. Sometimes repair and sometimes new construction. I've seen state DOT ads needing welders to be available to fix snow plows during storms, not sure if the welders were on call to appear at the DOT depot or on call to appear out on the highway somewhere. Anyone on this site pursued these types of contracts?

At work we do mechanical repairs for state agencies. I know they pre bid a set labor rate for different regions of the state. And a set rate on materials markup. That gets you authorized to do the repairs. Often they have a 2hr arrival window, meaning that you agree to be onsite within 2hrs of the call for service. Not sure if all states are the same.
I have more questions than answers
