I’m available to do custom welds for repairs or new builds. My main career is in rapid-prototyping so I do a bit of everything, but metalworking and blacksmithing is something Ive done since I was a kid, and Id like to help people with it more.
For small jobs I tend to hover around the $10-$20 price range, but I tend to charge about $25 an hour for bigger projects. Of course Im willing to also take trades as payment, and im not a stickler on the pricing.
I can weld steel pretty well however Im still just learning TIG welding. My main welder is a MIG however if you have some thick stuff to weld I could try to borrow a big 1930s arc welder to make a super secure weld.
Itd be great if you could bring the parts to me and we weld it, or maybe you leave the parts with me and I do it over night (I’ve gotten heatstroke so many times in my life that I mostly work at night in the summer to avoid the heat). I could come to you if its a big thing like a vehicle or part of a building and you live nearby.
If you want more work after the welding I can also clean it up and paint anything you want. I have a small selection of enamel paint i use so you wouldnt need to buy a whole can just for a small project.
