Hello my name is Mason.
Ive been in the pipe welding trades for 15 years. 6G certified in steel, stainless, aluminum
About 6 months ago I bought a 325 trailblazer, dynasty 200 and a 12 VS wire feeder. all is paid for. also bought a 2015 ford F250. (making payments on that one)
I live in las vegas, I work full time for a company and have been doing side work.
I have a state and county business lic. and liability insurance ect.
I have a add on YP, craigs list and google. and I know it takes time for word of mouth. I advertise that Im certified and weld carbon steel, stainless and aluminum. my adds are pretty good, I got a good facebook business page also.
Here is my questions, work is just hit and miss, more miss than hit although.
Just looking for some advice of welding business owners??
Cant really talk to other local welding businesses, because we a competing for work.
Example- 4 weeks ago in one weekend I did a pipe job for a fuel company 40 4in. pipe welds in one day, I took a fellow pipe welder with me. Next day sunday, I did a 8 hr job on a I beam and supporting beams. That was a great weekend.
The next two weekends almost nothing.
Any and all advise would be great
Thanks
Mason
