From time to time i'll throw an add on craigslist to pickup some welding work on the side, little extra cash, the responses i get absolutely amaze me and the people i have dealt with are well
On the flip side i've done some really cool projects and even designed and blue printed out a few for people with great ideas. But i get bombarded with crazy crap that guys want me to weld up "roll cages" that are "just for looks" with cheap exhaust tubing, propane/natural gas tanks. Or my all time favorite i quote a price and they say well i think its worth xxx instead. Guy wanted me to build a bicycle trailer for a touring trip he was gonna take to washington to petition the government cause he was unemployed came up with a amazing blue print, accurate measurements, views etc. Wanted this crazy aluminum trailer on a gooseneck setup to weigh under 15 lbs (keep in mind were talking like a multi level 4ft wide-6ft long-3ft tall trailer with hubs tie downs etc. and cost him less than 250 including materials. He wasnt happy when i gave him MY price at a great deal on just the material going through my company was gonna run him almost 400.
So decided to lay it all out this time, think i got it all covered, you guys might enjoy it, few minutes after the ad went up i've already had some hillarious responses.
See if this weeds out some of the idiots. Atleast maybe give some folks entertainment. Its gotten to the point some emails i wont even respond to
