Temporarily closed\nMy name is Brett Myers I am 19 years old and a 3rd generation business owner. I have been welding for 5 years and I started this business out of the bed of my truck with a welding machine and generator. I started by welding fence pipe and recruiting my nephew or a buddy who was laid off and needed quick cash to go work on ranches, homes and business's. I left the company alone and started working in shops for the last two years due to not enough business to afford to survive. All jobs are T&M and only taking small simple fabrication jobs for the time being. I hated leaving it behind and now I want to see it grow and flourish to something I never even expected.\nAs a man of faith and my belief the companies moto is this\n”Don’t work only while being watched, as people-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing God’s will from your heart.“\n‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬ ‭CSB‬‬\nI believe god has a great plan for me and everyone on the face of the earth. I’ve been called back into my business and I can’t wait to see where it goes. \n

Welding questions, answered by experts

Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys. The most common types of welding include:

  • Stick welding: $100–$1,000

  • Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Gas welding: $150 and up

  • Forge welding: $15–$25 per hour

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation.
