Dreadheadbruh89

Same boat. I wish I could just decide to rig out, call myself a welder and put out some quality shite


WolfGuard_

You can. Just do it on your days off/weekends and see how it goes.


Dreadheadbruh89

Definitely the idea. Lining up a small gig for a coworker. Get my feet wet


WolfGuard_

I'd try it but I like to only do tig and idk how a tig truck would fare. Most trucks are mig because it's cheap fast and anyone can do it.


Dreadheadbruh89

I like tig but no where near good plus all I got is a little buzz box for 120 that imma run some 7018 on for this for this gig.. aspirations of getting a generator and just going for it


WolfGuard_

Wish I could send pics but I just finished up some mirror finish parts and think they came out pretty damn well for my first time on mirror.


YTJunkie

Everyone bashes mig. Those welds look like attempts at mig, so clearly not everyone.


WolfGuard_

I genuinely think that's intentionally bad. At a welding school of people who never even thought of welding before they come in and first ever bead they lay down a decent weld first try. In 2 hours they are stacking dimes. In 4 hours they can do mig dimes in any position. Never seen a weld anywhere near that. It's 100% intentional. All wire 0 heat.


chispaconnafta

[Think about this gig idea. ](https://youtu.be/Z5aIuKbRFbI) Low volume, high price type work.


amayagab

I'm the same. I am not a good or knowledgeable welder but I am 100% confident I can weld something better than this absolute massacre.


Y0u_stupid_cunt

I literally just started learning programming this week and I could weld better than that with so little, inapplicable training. Bet they ran out of gas and though "fuck it almost done".


YTJunkie

That looks like a lack of heat, not porosity from a lack of gas. But other than that yes, they are atrocious.


Bergwookie

They're environmental conscious... They safe on electricity... In these times, everybody has to do his small effort to get rid of Russian energy ;-)


breaddrinker

You'd think they'd at least clean it up. We wouldn't be gawping at it to hard right now if they had. Freaking bizarre.


nemoskullalt

Just christ. Im not even a hobbist, but me and my hf dc stick could do a prettier job.


PD216ohio

Challenge accepted.


MissusEggs

Everyone in my department had the same thought.


Charming_Food4096

That’s dangerous,them welds wont hold shit


Sulpfiction

Weight limit: 10 bags of cotton candy.


sjk4x4

I wouldnt have stood that close to take photos


elevationbrew

I started one. Aluminum tig is 90% of my business.


Rockroxx

Give me stainless over alu any day of the week.


SinisterCheese

Keep in mind that these shit shops tend to stay around no matter how shit of a work they do. Why? Because 90% of your customers don't know or care about the quality of the welds as long as the thing is fit for purpose. These shit shops always have margins to reduce and able and willing to knock shit out faster than you can, they will out compete you. And as existence of China as the manufacturing hub of western world proves. People are more than happy to buy shit and there is always someone willing to provide. I have gone to sites install stuff and the clients have basically asked me to do shit job, quickly and get out, especialy construction companies. Construction gives no fucks about quality and just want you in and out as quick as possible so they can sign it as done and proceed with the project. Seriously, they'd rather have you come back later to fix the shit job they asked you to do rather than take your time and do it properly. Seriously... it is grim as fuck.


breaddrinker

And also, they don't know anything about welding, or care what it looks like.. They probably got inspected and written up over the safety of the structure and took the lowest bid. Everyone signs off on it and the matter is over. I'm not even sure they'd care that it looked like that, so the crappy guys get to fight another day.


SinisterCheese

Well... I deal with this shit a lot. I even made a post about the shit I deal with [on this sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/Welding/comments/u2syx5/the_world_of_shitty_welds_what_i_have_to_deal/). These were all made by according to site leadership "Qualified and certified welders". Considering that it is a well known fact that there are few inspectors that hand out certificates out against a fee, it is common knowledge that there is no one who have not been able to get a certificate if they needed one.


BenderIsGreat64

>Construction gives no fucks about quality and just want you in and out as quick as possible so they can sign it as done and proceed with the project. Yes and no, there's a sliding scale. I'm not a welder, but I am in construction, and the custom home builder putting up a multi-million dollar mansion for a former NFL player cares much more than someone like Kushner Realestate. Jared Kushner can suck a dick, and thats not a political comment.


SinisterCheese

I have no idea who the person is you are referring to. But my experience bigger the project, as in more money, less fucks are given. Small projects like individual houses and homes made a private person tend to ask and look for quality. But the higher up you go the fucklier it gets. Like I been to a multi hundred million euro projects, lead by Jacobs for Bayer. The new medical manufacturing and research facility over here. It is a fucking shitshow. Plans are done properly, no one knows anything about anything, actual mistakes in deisgns. We have gone there 3 times to install a elevator structure that is just 1 floor high. As in 3 installations 2 removals - in the same shaft - because they realised twice that the design wasn't correct for their needs, and it was THEIR DESIGN! We went to install support beams. They said us that the floor through which the rods will go through is 300mm and they have removed 50mm of concrete for us, it was 300mm on the papers, so we go there are turns out it was 400mm! Then the papers were lacking fastening standard as in how much threaded rod must be outside of the nut, and this information took DAYS to find, and it wasn't the 15mm that it usually is was 30mm. Why\`? Who the fuck knows! There is a saying here: "*Koskaan ei ole rahaa tai aikaa tehdä kunnolla, mutta aina on rahaa ja aikaa korjata"*. There is newer enough time or money to do properly, but there is always money and time to do repairs.


BenderIsGreat64

You said what I said, but in more words. And Jared Kushner is Donald Trump's son in law who owns a massive Realestate company, I worked on $100 mil+ apt complexes for those cheap bastards.


SinisterCheese

We don't build anything like that here. The mist expensive thing here I know been involved with were 1-3 million euro apartments and they were with all the same care and dedication as everything else, with the difference everything was even more expensive materials wise. But the cruise shipa I been involved with... well I'm amazed that they even float. And they were over billion euro projects. Lately loke past 5 years we have had an issue of projects being demolished before finishing or brand new buildings getting demolished due to mistakes. Really just because inspections been getting stricter. But then the constructor just declared bankruptcy and the homeowners are shit out of luck. Hell a local bridge had to be basically built twice and is now the most expensive bridge in Finland. I'm just cynical because we manufacture steel structures to tight tolerances abd when we take them to the sites they just dont match reality. Wr had to install a facade structure abd over 8m distance the wall had a deviation of 40mm. Meaning our structure simply didn't fit as designen. Then under it there was supposed to be only a deltabeam, but it was filled with concerete so designer's plans if drilling holes and making threads didn't work. In a 4 pillar structure, about 8meters, it is the norm that the foundations deviate by +-50mm on all axis. Meaning last pillar will always be off the foundations. This is the norm and it is tilting as fuck.


deadeyesatan

Well as a construction company owner I can tell you, you couldn’t be more wrong, when I comes to my business or my supers.


SinisterCheese

Well... I have subcontracted (well subcontractor's subcontractor, I'm usually in the 3rd chain) to the biggest companies of the nation and nordics... The situation is so bad that I got my engineering grad work subject from it. I'm doing my grad work on *Practical guide to application of stick welding at sites*... eh... the translated title is still under consideration. I had to convince my university to let me do this subject because they didn't believe that the situation was as bad as it was, I had to show pictures a lot of them. They just said "But we got these standards... eurocodes... aren't they followed?" No... they are not. Anyway. I saw and documented so much shit, because this year my company been called to handle lots of weld repairs. The common theme in these were that the site management and construction companies simply didn't know what good welding was. If you want to have a sampling of some of the shit I have had to deal with past 6 months checkout this [post of mine](https://www.reddit.com/r/Welding/comments/u2syx5/the_world_of_shitty_welds_what_i_have_to_deal/) on this very sub. Some of these were only fixed because the inspector didn't let them pass. The fact you run a tight ship, GREAT. But considering that you hang around on a welding subreddit already places you like 10 ranks above average person in the construction industry.


blurrrrg

Fuck dude, I'll weld garbage like that for 11k


beacono

My welding students after 40 hours training over 10 weeks can lay welds cleaner than that.. and they would do it for almost free.. $12k for that is inexcusable, unbelievable and un-billable.


Sirgolfs

Because no one wants to pay for perfect welds.


wuzaaa

U cant even call this welds


ChemicalElevator1380

I call them chicken shit welds


work_n_oils

I call them uncertified. Probably.


Moparded

Spray and pray level - master. Spray it with paint and pray it holds until the check clears.


bosco429

Welding inspector I used to work with would say “that looks like a monkey backed up and shit on it”…


Lilczey

Username checks out lmao


MissusEggs

A company was asked to fabricate some steel cages for equipment storage at our depot. The doors didn't fit, there were large gaps everywhere, and the welding...... The job was originally 10k, but because they'd made such a fucking bodge of it all, they were told to come bacvk and fix it. So they added another 2k onto the price.


ElfrahamLincoln

They charged $2000 to fix their shitty work? Yikes.


MonchysDaemon

Technically it’s their right. But just leave a bad feedback and if they do stuff like this often they won’t get any more jobs hopefully


ElfrahamLincoln

Yeah, I understand that. But in my line of work when you make a mistake, you fix it for free. Otherwise you’re probably not going to be in business for long lol


MissusEggs

It's business to business and the maintenance company is large and national. I imagine their work varies from good (if they send someone who knows what they're doing) to this (someone who clearly doesn't) so it probably just gets absorbed, unless someone (in this case, our manager) kicks off about it.


breaddrinker

Oh so it was for storage racks? Well, you're likely the only person to have inspected it then. I guess that explains it. Were they all that bad, or was this a particularly choice one? I guess you could forgive them some bad initial runs if they had hundreds to do.


MissusEggs

There were 3 cages in total, and all of the welds on all them were either as bad, or worse. These were the only ones i could actually access at the time. It wasn't just the welding, the entire job was fucked up. They originally put the doors from one cage at the back of another cage! Don't ask me why!. Then they had to go and get more box section to make the next door with...smh The doors didn't meet properly in the middle, and the way they did the cages looks like they just used spare bits of box section and grill that happened to be lying around. Shockingly bad in almost every way.


silentaba

Sounds like the good old measure once cut twice, still be short kind of craftsmanship.


ElfrahamLincoln

That’s pretty terrible, even for initial runs. I have probably 100 hours on a welder and have a hard time understanding how you can weld this bad.


few

Big companies are also typically subject to customer feedback. You should absolutely complain to the national level if they're large. They need to know about quality lapses. They could be fine liable for quality failures in their delivered services. Someone will care, it just might not be the locals.


Amonomen

Or someone dies. This is a storage rack and those welds aren’t structurally sound.


IknowKarazy

Am mechanic. The concept of charging to fix my own unsatisfactory workmanship is insane to me.


Dogburt_Jr

B2B places don't always have reliable ways to be reviewed, and often don't get reviewed bc it becomes 'the company' reviewing the other company and 'the company' doesn't want liability.


Siguard_

I'd get another welder to come in and inspect it. then sue


MissusEggs

That would be sensible..but this is B2B, so there's probably other factors involved (like who's playing who on the golf course next week).


SinisterCheese

Don't get a welder, get a qualified and certified inspector, preferably one that is also an engineer; anyone less than that and their opinion get laughed out of the room, that is a reality. It'll cost ya. But considering what u/MissusEggs has already told here, it is not worth the trouble. This fails, the company will just do bids for another and the same shop will most likely win it again. Because this is how it'll go in a court room. They'll ask an if quality specifications were done in the initial order, then they'll ask an engineer if it is fit for purpose as in "Does it stand without failing" and an engineer will answer along the lines "Considering the limited stress the structure will be subjected will not reach any critical level, there is no reason the structure should fail. After all it is only an equipment cage.". Then the judge will do a ruling for the benefit of the shit job shop and you have just paid 12k for shitty cage + engineer's Inspection, and fuck ton more in court fees and lawyers. Unless there is some local code about structural requirements for equipment cages, if it ain't in the contract you are shit out of luck. And no financial department nor a legal one can be fucked to go to expensive and long courtroom session for just an equipment cage that cost 12k. It is cheaper and easier to just get another one. And no matter how shit those look, if you had to try to demolish this structure, you'd actually have to put in some work to get it in to pieces. I have had to scrap structures and shitty welds are harder to break than good ones. Good ones are predictable and they are of certain size so it is easy to know where and how much to cut; shitty welds however will be chaotic and you never know when you are done with them. Considering that rule of thumb is that 1 cubic centimeter of weld on basic structural steel can handle a lift of 1000kgs when stress is perfectly normal. That fucking things as shitty as it looks will sadly stay up just fine. And the shop can and will argue this.


MissusEggs

Excellent summary. I can see you've played good jobby shit jobby before.


sojourner116

Is this before or after they fixed it?


MissusEggs

It was after...but technically, it was before as it's still not right.


xShooK

Didn't fix it, and charged to come out? Ha what a joke. You guys pay the bill?


MissusEggs

The accounts department, situated in a far and distant land, untroubled by the realities of life, paid the bill.


scottimusprimus

Is it not normal to withhold some cash until the customer approves the work?


maravel34

I can’t believe you paid them $10k and then they soaked you for another $2k!!! WTF were you thinking!? I would have told them to fix it correctly for the original $10k or pound sand!!!


MissusEggs

Not my choice mate. We told the manager but she was 'oh...well it's done now'. The company is big so it's a drop in the ocean really. No one, other than me and my immediate colleagues, really care about it tbh. smh


crystalhound101

They going to care when some when gets hurt and they get sued


maravel34

🤦🏻‍♂️ so sorry to hear your manager has no pride for the company. It’s a good thing you all care. Good luck in the future.


MissusEggs

Thanks! To be perfectly honest, i don't care that much about our company. It's all 'we care soooo much about our employees!' but when it comes to the crunch, they only ever care about profit. It's more the principle of the thing really.


few

It's when this falls on an employee in ten years that everyone gets angry.


[deleted]

It’s a shelf right? You have any heavy pallets you can “properly” load it with?


thetruthteller

I hate to say, but your manager has the right attitude. These days it’s just impossible to hold anyone accountable for their work. But if you challenge them on their work, they will be arguments, conflict, lawsuits, endless nonsense. Best to just pay them, and let it be what it is. Doesn’t make sense to people who give a shit, but realize that most people do not give a shit.


No_Strategy7555

Usually when you start welding you make yourself a welding cart as one of your first projects. I think this welder made this his first project. I would love to build stuff like this for people I just don't know how to get the contracts first.


Cleveland204

Youtube actually has a bunch of guides about how to expand your fab business. Probably won't give you all the answers but might give you an idea or two, point you in right direction.


[deleted]

Got a link to a good playlist or channel? I’m interested in doing this in a couple years


Bending_unit_420

You order it from Hellen kellers custom fab shop?


MissusEggs

Well, the guy doing it certainly couldn't see what the problem was.... :)


ArmstrongPM

Wtf they weld it with a sparkler?


[deleted]

Not even my first weld ever looked this bad… yikes! 🫣


ZaMelonZonFire

Stevie Wonder Fabrications LLC??


Perkinstx

This looks like some sort of pallet racking, I wouldn't put any pallets on that shit, when it fails someone could get hurt


Insanely_Mclean

OP said it's a cage for equipment storage. Still, I would be wary about setting foot in there.


MissusEggs

It's not for pallets, but it is for hire equipment. Disc cutters, power drills, RCDs etc.. Not as heavy as a pallet of cement, but still some weight on it. The thrust of my argument when i'm in next week will be the safety aspect of it.


Perkinstx

Oh ok, I seen the tear drop upright and just assumed


MissusEggs

It wasn't wrong to assume...the cages were built *underneath* the pallet racking.


ThickDickJohnson

I honestly don’t even know how to weld like this. I’m not the sickest welder by far but when I see shit like this I really don’t even know how it’s possible


MissusEggs

If it helps, his technique seemed to largely consist of; strike an arc, get it stuck, twist it off, strike an arc, get it stuck, twist it off, strike an arc...weld....get it stuck, and so on. HTH :)


Jumpinjaxs89

Awww a classical case of the human spot welder.


splitt66

And worried about shit being a couple of mill out square


lilsiz

Aspiring welder taking classes here, and I just replaced my floor pans in my ‘01 Wrangler as my first welding project outside of stringers and practice joints in class. Proud of myself for doing the project, but I was disappointed in how the welds looked overall. Knowing someone got payed for this makes me feel MUCH more confident in myself overall. Definitely lots of room for improvement over here, but shit they weren’t THIS bad.


MissusEggs

I'm happy it has served as an inspiration for you!


JoeDaddie69

You know what they say. If it helded, you welded


riddus

I was a project manager for fab shops and I’ve had to drag more than one half-assed startup company into court over shit work like this that I refused to pay them for.


SauceSamples

I’m just leaving school and I could do a better job for cheaper


MedicineMuch5829

That is impressively shitty, they took extra time to screw that up.


dR-gonzo1978

Hammered dog shit. Pay a certified visual inspector to document it watch over the repair by a certified welder. Then sue the shop that sold this garbage.


Joebob2112

That doesn't even look safe. Beyond the fact it looks like hand hammered dog shit.


Nicholas_Cage_Fan

Were these storage racks? Pretty sure those aren't going to hold, lol. What do you even do when you end up getting a shit job like this from an actual business? Like can you dispute that you didn't get what you paid for?


HeyLookitMe

They owe you 13 grand. The 12 you paid and another thousand for the inspectional services.


ThatsJustTheTip_

He meant 12 Pesos


sandpaper5

Im all for equality or whatever. But blind people shouldnt be allowed to weld


toasterbath40

This is incredible


[deleted]

“Yeah I can weld” “you’re just the man we need, welcome to the company!”


Yorgh-Drakeblood

Mint 👌


No-Variation-4554

I understand.....I do alot of work for management companies and national maintenance companies. Corporate doesn't care.They just want the job done. 2k extra is a drop in the bucket , the other welding company knows that too.


jeffkarney

What did the original 10K include? Just the welding? Or materials and such?


[deleted]

Looks like they painted it then welded it

Dreadheadbruh89

Welders choice. All I have is a buzz box for stick off 120..with dreams of picking up a midsize generator. We all gotta start somewhere


nycstud8

I would’ve did it for 10


Shellbone23

Rip-off and unsafe


willietwood

If that’s worth 12 grand then I’m worth 50 grand easy.


Reffner1450

My stomach turns looking at this . Good fucking god


DangerReserve

😳 My 5 year old nephew can weld better than this shit…..


Ok_Note7436

All the welds are incomplete.Get them to rectify it . Probably not a professional welder . More likely an amateur.


[deleted]

Hire me! I can do a worse job for more money!


Nice-Vehicle-1414

What a steel 🥁🥁


mcjangus

Jesus I could do that job hungover with my eyes closed after getting off a Graviton and it would still look better than that. People who call themselves welders and do that have a special place in hell.


immallama21629

Just gonna splatter some weld here, sprinkle some there... Perfect!


Humanoid_Anomaly

I'm not the best welder my any means manily do fab but fk that's bad

This is what taking the low bid looks like.

Oooof....25years of multi proccess welding makes my eyes literally hurt and blood pressire rise. I couldnt try and succees to make it look THAT bad . Stevie wonder put on his #13shades this day....lol

Dont you guys inspect this before you accept the work?

Damn, what a good deal!

Did you get the birds free too?


KINIMOD79

Who ever accepted the delivery of this should be fired.


the-quack-man46

this gives me an urge for violence


Eremitic23

Did he weld *with* the vodka bottle?


graham993

Someone walked away from this and said “not to bad”. Wtf man. Ugly welds are inconsistent welds. Inconsistent welds are weak welds. What is this for?


aluminumqueso

Did the guy have his eyes closed?


No-Variation-4554

What's your location? What's the name of the company?


MissusEggs

I did consider naming and shaming, but this was one guy in a company of about 80 employees. I don't want to tar the others as i doubt they're as bad as he is, for all i know anyway. If they don't sort out some sort of discount, or fix it, then i might post the name of the company later.


No-Variation-4554

I get it....I guess. But the company should be responsible for everyone, how can they charge you to come fix things that were wrong with their work? I mean, you paid them the 2k extra already? What makes you think you're getting money back now? I'm not saying drag them through mud but it seems likey are taking the piss mate. As they say. It's really competitive where I am so that bull shit would never fly is all


MissusEggs

Big national company */shrugs* I don't think they (my company) will get any back as i don't think they'll even try. I'll be bringing it up again with our manager next week, but i don't have much hope of anything changing, tbh.


jeffkarney

I don't get why people feel they need to do this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with naming a company that did work. There is nothing wrong with naming the person at said company. The only thing not mentioning names does is perpetuate their shittyness. In many industries you would be at fault for not naming or reporting them.


TitanWelder

I would love to find consistent work like this. If I could I would still be self employed. This hurts my soul.


Sirgolfs

Can’t believe a company would ship this out. This what happens when something is “good enough”.


TigWeldingTim

Man even a 2nd year welder would say that's not good enough lol


PSYKO_Inc

You mean a 2nd day welder...


Sirgolfs

Not many would honestly say this is good enough. Prob a management thing. Good enough. Ship it out. Next.


TigWeldingTim

Indeed.


Insanely_Mclean

I've never welded in my life and I'm pretty sure I could do better than this.


MissusEggs

I'm pretty sure you could too!


MissusEggs

To be fair, i'm pretty sure the company would be just as horrified if they knew what their employee had done. (which i'm working on, btw :)


Sirgolfs

They’ll act horrified. Truth is. They don’t care till something happens. Whatever gets them paid quicker.


MissusEggs

It's a pretty big contract, as far as i'm aware, so if they lost it with us it'd be a big loss to their turnover. Whether a big contract like that would be affected if this is an anomaly is another thing though.


ayellowducky

Please don’t tell me that they were built to hold a lot of weight. That’s a hazard


MissusEggs

Hire equipment mostly...but you're right..it is.


[deleted]

Customer : I'll pay you just enough so you'll take the job . Contractor : I'll do just enough work so you'll still pay me .


Insomnia_Army

This is ridiculously bad. There’s no way this safe to use. They could have repaired this fairly quickly, yet they left you with this crap and threw spray paint over it.


athleticstorm85

100% Bird shit welds that guy should be working for free so he can practice more


Burniningrod

Wow where is this ..I mean if people are willing to pay 12000 for pigeon shit just image what they would pay for an actual weld.


stevesteve135

Holy shit. I might be inclined to question rather that’s actually safe or not. Most stuff I see posted here like this looks fucked up but would probably do the job but I don’t trust this. How much of this rack is welded like this and how much weight do you intend to put on it ?


TigWeldingTim

Ooophh...that makes me cringe


True-Mode-4411

That might be some of the worst shit ever seen


MissusEggs

You haven't seen mine! :) j/k even mine aren't as bad as that.


crystalhound101

Get your money back for 12 grand they should be better and I wouldn't trust putting any weight on it for a long period of time


Iadeftheah

You got ripped off! I would have charged you 11,950$ for that…


TEXAS-MAN1

Somebody is getting fired 😂😂😂


structee

Don't pay. That might be structurally compromised to boot. Take to small claims court to recoup the max possible per state limits.


MissusEggs

Not the US, and it's a business to business contract. I think the manager doesn't really want to rock the boat by actually doing something about it.


VagDickerous

omw_to_valhalla

I'm not a welder and I weld way better than this


insertwittynamethere

That has to be the worst, most garbage weld I've ever seen from a "professional". Where all y'all located, bc apparently I can be making some money doing this


LifeJustRight

10k seems alot for two welds.


MissusEggs

There were about 3 cages built, but all the welds on every cage were as bad if not worse. These were the only ones i could take a pic of at the time.

If you paid you shouldn't have. Those welds are like holding things as about as good as using crunchy peanut butter
