redkow97 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Nice work. What's your hourly rate for OR members? Or is it more "depends on the project?" If I ever find a project bike, I would probably have some simple welding projects to outsource. Things like sub-frames, maybe a custom luggage rack, etc. Nothing that would have to be as pretty as the work above, but I understand the need to do it well and not just well enough.

If its brought it clean and ready to weld it'll be cheaper. Fabrication, sand blasting, and polishing would add more. As far as quality, no matter what the job is I won't sacrifice my quality. Doesn't matter if its a $1 job or $1000. Edited July 26, 2014 by rawlins87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 not sure what industry you're in now, but my buddy who used to work in drilling said the bit welders make disgusting money. Every job is a rush-job, and the drilling companies pay accordingly. So it's crazy hours that kill your social-life, but an excellent living. He worked in drilling for 4 or 5 years. Lived in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Dubai, and Oklahoma over that stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawlins87 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) A little sand blasting today304 stainless I can sand blast large parts if anyone needs something done. Easily a xr100 frame.These parts we put in a tumbler to remove burrs from our punch press. The sand blasting was purely for a finished look. Can tumble parts for anyone as well.

fizzer Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 A friend of mine is looking to get some 304 stainless fittings welded into stainless kegs, he has 3 kegs and a total of 3 or 4 1/2" NPT fittings. If we drill the holes and prep and just bring you the kegs/fittings, do you have an estimate on price? You can PM me if you prefer. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
