Need to hire a welder!

[mralexburrows]

Hey guys, I just received a seat loop for my cb350 project. Looking to hire a welder in Toronto to help me with this! Will pay cash. Can anyone recommend a good welder?

Member here, good friend and in Toronto (as am I). I've got a 180 MIG in my garage but have used it exactly 2 times so I'm no expert. Paul is in King City north of Toronto but well worth the trip and I'm pretty sure he'd be happy to take your frame and loop home one day.

Where in TO are you? I'm in the Junction.

Or Paul could do it in my garage with my welder if more convenient to both of you. Is your bike taken apart or rolling chassis?

I can go to your place Tim. Need to get out of the shop and house lol

Thanks guys. I'm up at Dufferin and St. Clair. Not far from the junction. The bike is torn down to the frame so it's easy to transport. Sooner the better because I am on a time crunch and want to get this to the powder coater!!

This should be an instructional opportunity. I mean it would be good for the guy to learn to use his new welder and this is welding 101 for sure... take a few scraps and get the welder setup for easy point and shoot hot glue gun mode and have him maybe run a bead or two on flat stock, then bump a chunk of decent wall tubing against a magnet and have him tack bead around the 360 end kind of like building up the end, then chamfer/bevel two chunks and see if the guy can weld, if so let him weld the hoop.

Give him fish or teach him to fish?

Thats right tuna fish! A man who cant weld should not eat fish! Besides its fun to learn.
