NOTE: This is **NOT** about me!

I have a friend, who is 50 years old, all around very handy guy, knows
how to MIG weld, generally decent at fabrication, small engine repair
etc. His English, I would say is B-. He is energetic.

He has a dream, to have a "welding business" that he would operate
from his garage. To have people stop by with their welding needs and
to pay him live money for this kind of work.

He wants to learn learn to do stainless and aluminum TIG
welding. Right now he knows only MIG and stick, mostly MIG.

His funds, shall I say are LIMITED.

I am just wondering what do you think about the prospects for that
business idea. Maybe you are, were or know someone with that sort of
business plan and know how it worked out.

I do have some opinions about it, but I will withhold them to see what
you think. I just laid out pertinent facts.

Thanks

Have him hook up with motorcycle shops and Marine repair centers. Good
market for machining too.

When I hear "motorcycle" I think "no money"

Depends. There are the Rubbies and the Grubbies. Rubbies have money
(Rich Urban Bikers) Grubbies genreally do not, and if they do it's
generally "dirty"
