GARAGE WELDING SHOP TOUR!! (NOTHIN FANCY)

Since my not to put together truck didn’t run you off I thought today we could do a little welding shop tour! My garage welding shop isn’t fancy but it continues to get the job done. Since most of my welding business is done on-site this continues to serve me for now. I’ve got plans for a bigger shop one day but I believe the best place to start is with what you have. This is what I have and am making full use of right now! I finally found some photos from my first welding shop that I can share in this video too. For the story on that check out my video before this one. Thank for watching and hope you have a good weekend!

What’s goin on Austin i want to get my own welding truck going can you do a video on like the bare minimum stuff you need to turn a flat bed into welding rig ?

[@petermccuskey1832]

An unkempt shop is the sign of work going on. Having been self employed all my life a shop that looks like yours means you are busy. A good thing. I am 65 and still working. Carry on young man

[@arosswelding]

This is true...

[@RYoung09]

You have the tools to make you money. Everyone's shop is messy. Keep it up

[@joepiker]

I really appreciate your good nature, honesty, and skills. I'm sure your shop will improve over time!

[@michaelnelson1924]

Another outstanding video from Austin 😀 straight forward honest humble and kind a one of kind person and also hard to come by these days 💯

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Austin, your shop is the same size as mine, WE BOTH NEED MORE ROOM !! I am feeling a little better about mine. You’re doing a great job, stay safe and keep having fun. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

[@bigal2298]

I love to weld and fabrication did it all my life , retired after forty three years. Thanks for the great information and videos stay safe

[@TheWeldProfessor]

Love this channel Austin. I don't get to ya till Monday but I be watching every week. Love this video the most. Respect brotha

[@boblasley5640]

As I've been known to say "Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do with whatcha got to do it with". It really doesn't matter what your shop looks like or how small it is. It's the quality of the work you put out that really matters. All the best to you and yours!

[@joederue2392]

Thank you so much. I love seeing other fab guys set up. I started welding in 80 in high school and and now I weld at an air base. Joe from selfridge airforce base. Welder dude

[@arosswelding]

You bet. Thank you for watching!

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Yep, done plenty on mcas cherry point, camp lejune, stone bay, marsoc..bogue field..all over...an under

[@barrylandry4447]

Ross same here. Lots of love man from south Louisiana.... I have pretty much the same rig, shop I have the Miller 350P mostly use for aluminum I build boat cabs for local crabbers. Anyhow. Thanks for your time and vidoes.. Hope everyone has a blessed weekend.

[@greggschultz9256]

[@arosswelding]

I hate to hear that Ruben. Hopefully you have a great weekend! Thank you for watching!

[@jvazquez53]

I wish I had seen this video three days ago! I spent about a day building a stand for my mag drill and that plate on top of the vise is 100 times better! BTW, that shop is just fine! For fab table I made mine with the mag drill, a 5/8' annular cutter , holes 4" apart and works like a charm

[@corydriver7634]

Classic “Clobber’s kids go shoeless” situation here. Thanks for the tour. Oh…old school pine scented air freshener for the truck is my favorite.

[@samuelscragg7052]

Your welding shop is not as messy as mind. I have found that no matter the clutter if you know where everything is and can work in it without problems that’s what counts. I even have hay implements in mind along with a small tractor. I really like your fitting up tips and welding tips thank you for sharing

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Looks good, nice story, and gotta start somewhere

[@davesnothere2113]

Those miller 252's are beautiful machines ive used them many times and produced some clean welds all day long!

[@brianpatrick8441]

Thanks for sharing your shop tour with us!! Us welders just have too much stuff to keep organized. I have been buying used lateral file cabinets for storage off craigslist, like 8 of them, lol. My favorite fragrance is midnight pasture!! Much respect!!

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Keep it up Austin ! Ebb and flow !

[@justinholman1096]

Best air freshener that I like is the pine trees black ice and new car together. Not sure why that combo works so well but it does. Gotten lots of compliments on them. Funny thing is I do not like either one by them selves but paired together......👌

[@logantarr1522]

Love your videos sir, fresh shave scented little trees are where it's at.

[@SteadArcFab_Ministries]

Nice Austin! You have a cool thing going man!

[@eddluireg]

Great video ! Ty for sharing

[@JacksonEngineering]

Oh man! Next project is a portable drill press for a trailer hitch. I never thought to use a bench vise for my mag drill like that! Genius!

[@woodworkbycorbin3281]

Looking good, really enjoy your videos.

You bet, thanks for watching

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

Austin, you are pretty dang good in front of the camera. Not everyone can get in front of a camera and do a good job with.

[@scarface-39]

Nice tour of your shop, mine is still a bigger mess!!! But I get a-lot of work done in there👍🇺🇸

[@mugshotbradley5505]

I bet you get better traction on ice with those beads on your bottle cart! I enjoyed the shop tour. I’m jealous, my rig is my shop. As far as the air freshener goes, I like “True North”. Work hard and be safe!

[@bigwhisky4676]

Hey Austin your shop that serves the purpose just like the one I got, I only have a garage and live in California and I’m sorry to say that, I’m an old pipe liner and all filled Rig Welder that is branching out and doing other stuff I just ordered a machine today that does mig stick tig I know how to build a lot of shit but I bought that machine so I could branch out and do other stuff to make money because the oil field is not coming back, anyway way too much to talk about man I’d like to talk to you more one on one if you read this message, I’m stuck in California taking care of my grandma for the last 12 years I’m supposed to move to Arkansas where my dad is and live there and work in Oklahoma and Texas and wherever, sorry about the long text man I hope you see this I love the stuff you do in the videos man for being a young man you really have your stuff together I’m 45 years old and still trying to get shit done but thanks a lot for the videos lol sorry if some of it might not make sense this talk texting don’t work very good man ha ha

[@joelbrown3479]

Brother you're taking care of your Gmail, most important job! All else will fall in place in due time. Work, be there for her, and you'll be rich beyond your dreams. Bronx Love jb... tin knocker that happens to weld .

[@bigwhisky4676]

@@joelbrown3479 thank you, damn I replied three months ago to Austins video thanks for the kind words man, still taking care of grandma just came out of the house right now from getting her medication now I have some time to crack open a cold beer and smoke part of a cigar thanks again

[@T5Chur]

those wheels are wicked

[@aldencharley4875]

I'm working out of something similar to your setup. And it keeps me out of the sun in the summer and out of the cold in the Winter. But I don't have garage doors so there is always a breeze going thru 😂

[@tonysparapani3077]

Its been worked in, for sure. :)

[@RT-fe1mu]

That's the way I like it cats and all good 👍job man

[@mandycole21]

Hey Austin I'm sure those who actually watch your videos they would know that you use those jack stands to build your projects on ...lol..... like in the video when you were building clothes rack for in the back of that van that rack was sitting on those jack stands and I'm sure that would be nice to have a brand new fab table but sometimes you've just got to work with whatever you've got at that time ..... it wouldn't make a whole lot of sence to buy the toolbox b4 you've bought the tools now would it bc I was always told... which is going to help you make more money at 1st the tools or the toolbox? But there's always going to be a time when you need both So I'm sure that you know this but good things and nice things just take time...... also thanks for another great video as always

[@sallybrokaw6124]

Back when I worked for a structural steel fab shop, all our mag drills were Hougens. Very good tools.

[@haroldphipps3457]

We use the low profile Hougen drills on truck frames. Most of the time, it saves us from taking tires off. Let's just say some of our fabricators are not very careful with them. Quality tools they are !!

[@sallybrokaw6124]

I worked in the truck fit out shop for a highway snowplow manufacturer. We had a low pro drill also.l liked it much better than the frame drill on a cart by Milwaukee.

[@smengine]

The old cologne Polo is a great air freshener smell, and put you 24x30 building up on about 4 or 5 rows of block

[@williamjohnson4153]

Black ice is what is my go to air freshener

[@fernandomarrufo8782]

Really interested in the air freshners 👌🏻

[@t.s7615]

Think it’s pretty cool

[@weldthefuture9833]

I like it 😀

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

Nice set up! I hope to get my house sold, and buy a bigger place to build a nice shop or two! Then I can get my video better and more consistent.

[@Liam19831]

Black ice air freshener. I also like the febreze ones that stick in your vents.

[@arosswelding]

I like the black ice Also.

[@MrJatradesmof0]

Simple shop but it gets the job done

[@thebeardedstork432]

Austin, how about some Ozone scented air fresheners? I love the smell of metal burning in the morning!

[@shortfuse43]

Thanks for the shop tour. You seem to be able to put out your work OK, so it's just fine. BTW, do me a favor...drill some holes in that sheet metal in the back and hang some small chains around those gas bottles!! Don't need no Oklahoma "rockets" taking off from your shop!!!!!!

[@jimlundstrom2986]

Good to see your shop area Austin. You can tell there's been some fabricating going on there. I've been a little worried about Karen lately, wasn't sure if she was still on the payroll or not.

[@arosswelding]

Oh yeah, she is holding on by a thread. Laugh out loud

[@leewelbanks6366]

Hey, my shop looks like yours, stuff everywhere but the deal is I know where that stuff is.

[@mariadoistoy1190]

greetings from beautiful state of arizona

[@arosswelding]

howdy! thanks for watching!

[@ricdenali4213]

It’s laid out pretty nice. Could you show details on the gate hinges you make with plate?

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

I found keeping a regularly updated materials log, lets me find ANYTHING almost instantly. My shop drawers, bins, racks, hangers, lockers, any place I might store something are each individually identified with a number, letter or combination. Quantities are adjusted both when I take an item out as well as when I put an item back for storage.

[@arosswelding]

I love some organization! It is definitely a full time thought process and priority for sure. Much respect to you. I plan to have an organized shop one day.

[@user-yi8pf8on6w]

Austin did you start LLC or S Corp? Thanks for all the content, ideas and inspiration!!!!!

[@rezyness]

As long as it's organized to you.

[@smengine]

Look straight up the bottom of the moving side of that vise that doesn't back up, right where the handle shaft goes through the moving horn you should see a hole in the shaft and a washer, put the washer up against the casting and put a cotter pin in the hole

[@arosswelding]

Thanks! I will definitely do that! Super helpful!

[@justiceforhungary2019]

It looks like I'm not the only one =))

Hahaha you think your shop is a mess I have a 2 bay garage with 16foot bench shelves all around from floor to ceiling all full of stuff. Then stuff one the floor fills one bay . then there's storage sheds 7, mine and then the old dolls . The bench I can hardly work on hahaha done some clean up . hahahaha packed things neater and tighter that's why one can hardly work on the bench . Austin you are lucky you have land to expand to . By the look of it time for a bigger shop to put more stuff in . Have a good one

[@johnjacobs4207]

Karen, my cat Giger has a full length tail you would like a lot. As for my welding shop I have to wait for the shade to come over me

[@arosswelding]

I love it! It's hard to beat working outside with a breeze under a shade tree. That's one of the reasons I love mobile rig welding.

[@germansmith3291]

Hey Austin, I have a dumb question. Is it possible to change the inductance settings on the miller 252? If so how. I’m trying to get the stack of dimes appearance. Thanks.

[@perryshook8507]

So are you done pipeline welding? Or just no work right now?

[@jebshsu024]

You should hire you an apprentice. Like high school kid looking to breakout he could learn from you personally and then clean up stuff like your shop for you. Just a thought.

[@Ruben901]

That would be cool, like a summer school program or something like an elective for high school.

Since youre mostly a 1 man crew do you only accept and work on 1 customers project at a time and put everyone else on a waiting list?

[@arosswelding]

Yes, When a customer calls I just tell them how far out I am. Depending on how long the project is will depend on wether I can get to it sooner or later. I'm consistantly moving projects around depending on weather and such.
