Hey yall...
For those who dont really know me on here, im 17, and a high school welding student. A couple of my friends and I scrap alot of old farm equipment from around my place, and a few local farmers who are just trying to get rid of the stuff. Ive amassed a few good 3pt hitches and a pile of pins, and a fair bit of old angle iron, channel, etc that ive saved off of stuff.
I really wanna make something out of it, and im wondering what kinds of equipment yall have made in the past, and managed to make money off of... I have my tombstone, chop saw, a couple grinders and a torch, a few other various tools, and a lot of free time on my hands. Ive got virtually no overhead, since im working out of my moms garage, and i could make most of this from steel i got for free, or next to it. I can sandblast and paint, and get most of this stuff to clean up pretty well.
Any ideas? Im thinking of grader, box blades, and boom poles for starters. Im sure someone has been where i am now, and could help me out a little here...
Thanks guys
