I feel that this sort of business should only have minimal overhead costs. Keep the advice comin fellas!!

If you define minimal as $6000.00+ for the first week as minimal ok?


Don't be one of the jokers I turn in every month that say the got a business and don't have a license insurance bond or what ever else you need in your area. One oops on your part and you and your mother could find your selves on the street. And I add your mother to this because you are living with her in her home the sharks will go after her and you.

My suggestion is go work as a welder get some experience. Find a job as a helper for some old guy that just wants to weld you do all the lifting. He'll know where to find the equipment you need and you wont go bust getting it.



Your eagerness is great it will take you in life.

Dabeldesign,
Yes, Kona is the "happening" place. Very rich people there, very hot, and VERY beautiful!!! Oh...VERY expensive !!! I talked to a gal from Air Liquide out there last year, and there were 7 personal run welding trucks doing there own thing. there is room for at LEAST 7 MORE!!! LOTS of construction going on, and the minimum they charge is $70.00/hour...Rent in the area for a 1 bedroom is around $1,200 to $1,500 on up. Not to far outside is cheaper of course...
Dabar39 Ok guys, as busy as this guy is, he forgot to mention all the help he gives on this forum!!!!!!!!!!KUDOS!!! Sorry haven't been here in awhile, burnt at my new job, learning LOTS about welding (basics I should have learned 2 years ago, but hard when you're working for a glass company!). Glad I didn't go half-cocked doing my own thing full-time, but I can't till I find a commercial space anyway.....
Going to Bayfest this weekend. Wifey is going to the neighbor island for work....

Dabeldesign,
