Due to recent thread in tech, simple question of are you good enough that people that pay you to do a job are not getting ripped off?

My response exactly. I even have a good buddy who I get the buddy discount from.lowbudgetjunk said:Hell no! But my welding does look better than that abortion in said thread. I do have a good buddy that hooks me up from the fab side though.

I work as a heavy equipment field service mechanic for Caterpillar 50+ hours a week. I deal with other peoples big problems daily. It is my career and keeps my family stable.
I only do fab / mechanic work for close friends who need the help, usually in return for helping me somehow. and never accept $$ in return.
The minute you begin to charge for you work things change and you have to treat it as a business.
I prefer to keep my friends and business separate. That way I can enjoy all this off road stuff as simply a hobby and not loose a friend over a couple buck$.
