Any welders in da house?

how much would you charge someone to fab and weld this frame???
>>
Have you figured the cost of materials?
>>
>>885325
Material supplied.
Only interested in fab costs.
>>
>>885320
3 hours

>>885328
add 1 hours for not letting me bend you over on material
>>
>>885331
assuming its steel, not aluminuim,or some other wierd shit
>>
>>885332
It's steel
welds have to be grinded down to appear flush.
>>
pretty much
>>
$300 for your time
>>
i would have it built in 1-2 hours so 8-16 euro i guess.

Where is your cross bracing? Are you just welding the legs to the top? Or is it all pieces to be welded? Worst case welding it all from separate pieces it would take no more than 2 hours, 3 if you're very slow for set up. 200 bucks for a hobbyists or retired welder that does it in his backyard. See if there's a hackerspace near you, someone there can do it moat likely or even better help you do it yourself.

no cross bracing
it's for a stylishass custom coffee table

200 bucks for a hobbyist sounds about right to me.

My shop would probably charge more like 4-500, you're looking at at least 3 hours of work when you factor in cutting the material and finishing all of the welds like OP wants etc.

We'd probably TIG it, MIG would be faster and cheaper but you'd end up grinding it for an hour instead of having nice welds that don't need much done to them after the fact.
