Howdy all, Im not a licensed welder but work in agriculture and use one often. Been kicking around the idea of starting a mobile rig doing mainly ag related repairs along with building pipe fence. Im not where I need to be yet in order to charge folks. My question is broad but, what boxes or criteria should I be able to meet in order to pull the trigger on starting a little rig? Thanks in advance!

Reply:You would need to check your state contractor board, I am in California. But most states is not bad as California. If I only did repair I would made more money. Most building work is quoted with lots of rules it takes the fun out of welding. Dave
