Lanse View Profile View Forum Posts Find Started Threads. Join Date Feb Location Texas Posts 1, Simple Money-Making Welding Project Ideas Goodevevening everyone!! Some of the most commonly asked questions I get through YouTube, and other such places, are from people, usually newer welders, looking to make a little side-money with their newfound metalworking skills And I've decided to do a mini-series on my channel, probably episodes, spaced out weekly, each one featuring a simple project idea that could make someone a few bucks.

I remember making Fence Unrollers, three-point carry all's, three point hitch receivers, and a few other things when I first started welding not that long ago, haha I'll ditch the fence unrollers Plus they take FOREVER to sell, lol But the carry-all's, I'll probably put in the series.

Same with a few things made of horse-shoes But I've decided to come to the forum and ask for your advice and ideas, for simple projects that a newer welder could complete to gain some experience and a make a few bucks Like I said, If I use your idea, I'll make a video of myself building aforementioned item, include the dimentions, materials, and everything else I used, and give you credit for the idea as well.

Ideally, the projects I complete will be fairly cheap to build, and can be done with simple tools Stick welder, maybe a MIG, angle grinder s , torch, etc And thoughts for this project would be much appreciated Have a nice week, everyone.

Figured with the shop extremely slow back in January it was a better use of time than sitting at home.

Perhaps you can put them on consignment at the feed stores or art galleries. You would be surprised what I see at the county fair and festivals. I was shocked a couple of years at the amount of yard art at the strawberry festival in Ventura, Ca.

Join Date Feb Location North of Philly Posts 20, Simple Money-Making Welding Project Ideas I'd suggest some of Wello's Or Yorkiepap's projects that they actually sell.

Niel's Wello candle holders, picture frames, plant hangers, drink holders and so on are quite well documented and from what I understand he makes decent money on them at the market. The one of Denny's Yorkiepap that comes to mind right away is some of his alum tread plate stuff he does.

The other biggies would be some of the horse shoe stuff that's been posted up from time to time.

Coat racks, wine rack, letter holder. Horse people eat this stuff up big time. No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

I think everyone will just find one thing they will gravitate to and start making them over and over. After the next one is done, I'm going back to my original plan and that is to make a sheet metal bender. It's bee on the 'to do list' for about a year. Just need to get my plans sorted out and do a video for others. Oh one of the first things I did was made a holder for my box of rubber gloves.
