well its getting up to the time for me to get are job but i dont want to work at kfc or somthing like that cause i dont want to stand up all day taking orders lol, basicully what i am saying is i would like to be my own boss doing work wenever i want and just chilling not making chicken haha.

what i'm basicully thinking about doing is making are scooter company that would be cheap as and sell good parts to australia and the rest of the world like bars (lol), forks, decks etc. etc. and plus even making my own clothing (most likly shirts).


but first i need to know how to weld?

welding to me is putting two pieces of metal together melting them with are very hot flame till they join to foam one piece of metal (correct me if i'm wrong) but idk the other things about welding like........

if you need are liscence?
how to get the liscence?
can i get are liscence through school?
can you just weld any sort of metal together?
whats the age limit to start welding?
how much is are welder?
do you reckon i should get are professional to do it (lol)?

(if you's can awnser those quetions that would be sweeeeeeeettttttt!!!!! and soz for being are noob)

now on to the shirts?
would you's (the aussie land people lol) wear the shirts?

heres an e.g (dripping scoot. style)

(and i have more design's for shirts and parts)

hahaha, do it.
If you make descent shirt designs people should buy.
I rmember going to melbourne and people would constantly were i (L) axis and shq ones etc.
 
k my brother is a welder and he done sum pre apprentiship coarse at tafe and u cannot just weld any type of metal together and some welder cost alot but u can get cheapish stick welders bu no1 will buy if its stick welded. im not sure bout the lincence i dont think u neen one but i think u can become 1 if u no what i mean, im pretty sure theres no age limit to weld. in conclusion i think if u want to do that u should do a aperintiship in boilermaking (welder) then after work use there welders to make parts and then save up and start a bisness

Have scoot in bubble wrighting like on a nike shirt!
Get it done by a pro unless ur interested in welding, carpentry, metal work ect. then do an appreticeship
You have to do ALOT of research on material, grades inches and designs or it WILL fail.
 
i dont think itll b a fad because thay uasually dont go this far (like have costom bars forks etc) and im pretty sure if u make good quality parts u wont have much trouble with people buying but im not sure that u would get enough money to make a living you would have to ask andrew. oh i would do a welding coarse like at tafe or sumething and if u like it continue if not dont.
