hey guys.
i want to make a clothes line like this,http://bp3.blogger.com/_jRSOlQdv-ks/...-h/May+005.jpg
except i'll be making it out of 1 inch square tubing.
i remember we had one of these when i was a kid, and it used some kind of pulley system that i don't remember the details about. After I make the basic clothese line like the one above, what route should i go for stringing up some lines? i was thinking about welding a several eye bolts to the thing. But I know when you put wet clothes on the line they will sink down close to the ground if you don't have a pulley system to crank that line tighter?
any suggestions on what to buy from home depot? thanks

Help me design a Clothes Line
You don't need a pulley system unless you don't want walk to the other end.
You just need a Turn Buckle to tighten up the line.
Pick up steel rings instead of Eye Bolts.
Most are Zinc Plated or Hot Dipped, which will need to be removed to weld up-
They may have Weldable rings- look for those first- much easier to weld up since you do not need to remove any coating.

I wouldn't use 1" square either. Maybe 1.5" round on the small side - I'd go for 2" or better. You might be able to get some aluminized exhaust tube that would work, but expect to pay for it.
The strength in these shapes comes from the diameter and shape, not the wall thickness. You could use 1" solid bar and it might not deflect too much, but it would also cost you dearly on acquisition expense. Conversely, you can buy larger tubing with a .060 wall that will be more rigid than your 1" square and cost far less.
Water is heavy. The lines sag because there's a buttload of weight on them when you start hanging soaked clothes and blankets on them. You'll want something substantial in the ground to anchor whatever you end up making.
Our house had a retractable line with a removable pole which ended up being dug out when I put the shop addition on. The base receptacle for the 2" upright was about a 5 gal bucket sized piece of concrete with a pipe receiver in it. The concrete was buried 2' down, and our lines were only about 15' (I think there was 4 lines in the thing).Syncrowave 250DX

I have to agree with these guys, you dont want to use 1" square stock, use 2" round minimum. You not only have the water weight but the pressure from the wind. Where you fasten it in the ground will be the first place it snaps off. If you use 2" round you can make some nice designs so it doesnt look like 20,000 others out there, make some kind of scroll design for your gussetsKen

Lightweight I-beam will probably twist without some bracing.
How about using drill stem? Around here it's fairly cheap for the strength.
You're going to need some sort of horizontal bracing. To keep the line from sagging you'll need a lot of tension. Assuming all the load is hung in the middle of the wire, tension = 0.25 * weight * length / sag (if I remember my physics and math correctly). So a 50 lbs load of laundry in the middle of a 20ft line with 1/2 foot of sag will give you 500 lbs of tension.
Even with a large concrete base, if it's in soil it will creep and the pole will eventually lay over. A simple diagonal pipe from the top down to another smaller concrete base will solve the problem. This also gives a nice lever arm to help resist twisting when you only hang laundry on the wire on one side of the tee.
You might also consider stainless wire/cable so you don't get rust spots on your clothes. Galvanized steel might work on also. The wire/cable should be tied or clamped so you won't be welding the galvanized.

ok, well i actually found the hardware at walmart of all places- i got S hooks, one pulley, and a volleball/clothes line tensioner.
I was doing this project on the cheap so I did use my 8 feet long 1 inch square tubing- but that was all i had so i followed one of the earlier post's advice and bought a 2 1/2" gavanized fence post. I also had some angle iron, so the angle iron got welded on top of both posts for the horizontal supports that the clothes line attaches to.
Well you guys do know your stuff, but i had to be frugal. When I tighten the clothes line- the 2 1/2" round fence post stays nice and strong doesn't lean. I'm amazed at how much my square tubing post bends! I'd guess the top of that post flexes in toward the other pole a good 2 or 3 inches from its base! So you guys were right on that that wasn't the best choice. I'll take some pics soon so you guys can get a good laugh and prove you know your stuff.
But, now my wife is not using the dryer and we should be seeing some electricity bill savings next month!
thanks for your replies

Homemade Ring Angle Claw
Homemade Ring Angle Claw hook. During the 1970's it was common to take an old ring angle piton and bend it into a larger hook than what was commercially available at that time. They were flimsy at best and would flex under body weight. This hook was made from iron angle stock and had more rigidity to it than ones made from ring angle pitons.

Punic Town of Kerkuane and its Necropolis
Punic Town of Kerkuane and its Necropolis
This Phoenician city was probably abandoned during the First Punic War (c. 250 B.C.) and as a result was not rebuilt by the Romans. The remains constitute the only example of a Phoenicio-Punic city to have survived. The houses were built to a standard plan in accordance with a sophisticated notion of town planning.
Cité punique de Kerkouane et sa nécropole
Cette cité phénicienne, sans doute abandonnée pendant la première guerre punique (vers 250 av. J.-C.), et n'ayant de ce fait pas été reconstruite par les Romains, nous offre les seuls vestiges d'une ville phénico-punique qui ait subsisté. Ses maisons ont été construites selon un plan type, suivant un modèle d'urbanisme très élaboré.
مدينة كركوان البونيقية ومقبرتها
هذه المدينة الفينيقية التي هجّرت دون شك خلال الحرب البونيقية الاولى (حولى سنة 250 قبل الميلاد) والتي لم يعد الرومان بناءها تتضمن الآثار الوحيدة لمدينة فينيقية بونيقية متبقية، وقد تم تشييد بيوت هذه المدينة حسب مخطط نموذجي يعتمد اسلوباً متطوراً جداً في التنظيم المدني.

Пунический город Керкуан и его некрополь
Этот финикийский город был, вероятно, покинут жителями еще во время Первой пунической войны (около 250 г. до н.э.), и впоследствии так и не был восстановлен древними римлянами. Его руины представляют собой единственное дошедшее до нас свидетельство о финикийско-пуническом городе, где дома были построены по единому плану в соответствии с наиболее развитыми взглядами на градостроительство того времени.

Ciudad púnica de Kerkuán y su necrópolis
Esta ciudad fenicia fue abandonada al parecer durante la primera guerra púnica, hacia el año 250 a.C., y el hecho de que no hubiese sido reconstruida por los romanos se debe probablemente a esto. Sus vestigios son los únicos existentes de una ciudad fenicio-púnica. Las casas de Kerkuán se construyeron con arreglo a un plano estándar, elaborado en función de una concepción de la planificación urbanística muy perfeccionada.

Punische stad Kerkouane en haar necropolis
Deze Fenicische stad werd waarschijnlijk tijdens de Eerste Punische Oorlog (circa 250 voor Christus) verlaten en daarom later niet meer herbouwd door de Romeinen. De huizen van de stad waren gebouwd volgens een standaardplan dat berustte op een verfijnde opvatting van ruimtelijke ordening. De necropolis van Arg el Ghazouani, gelegen op een rotsachtige heuvel minder dan een kilometer van de stad, is een waardevolle getuigenis van Punische funeraire architectuur. Deze necropolis is het best bewaarde deel van de grote necropolis van Kerkouane,waar de graven verspreid liggen over de kustheuvels op het puntje van Cap Bon.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The Punic Town of Kerkuane, located at the tip of Cape Bon on a cliff that dominates the sea, bears exceptional witness to Phoenician-Punic town planning. Contrary to what took place in Carthage, Tyre or Byblos, no Roman city was built on this Phoenician city, and its port, ramparts, residential districts, shops, workshops, streets, squares, temples and necropolis clearly remain as they were in the 3rd century BC. The site of the Punic Town of Kerkuane was discovered in 1952. Excavations were carried out by the National Institute of Archaeology and Art. The earliest known testimonies at the site would date back to the 6th century BC ; whereas the ruins, today visible at the site, date back to the end of the 4th, first half of the 3rd century BC and bear witness to sophisticated town planning.
The Necropolis of Arg el Ghazouani, located on a rocky hill less than one kilometer from the town, bears invaluable witness to Punic funerary architecture of this period; it concerns the most well preserved portion of the great necropolis of Kerkuane, the tombs of which are scattered throughout the coastal hills at the tip of Cap Bon.
Criterion (iii): The Punic Town of Kerkuane, never reinhabited since it was abandoned towards the middle of the 3rd century BC, bears exceptional witness to Phoenician-Punic town planning. This is the unique known Punic city in the Mediterranean harbouring a mine of information on town planning (development of space respecting a pre-established general plan: wide and fairly straight streets form a checkerboard network, the squares of which are filled with the insulae) and architecture (defence, domestic, religious, artisanal structures, construction techniques and materials). Based on the data discovered, the archaeologist is able to trace the profile of a Punic city as it was between the 6th and the middle of the 3rd century BC. The discovery of Kerkuane contributes considerably towards improved knowledge of Phoenician-Punic sites in the Mediterranean.
Integrity (2009)
The Punic Town of Kerkuane has preserved all its architectural and town planning components, which are located at the boundary of the property. Following its destruction by Regulus around 255 BC, the town was abandoned and, contrary to other Punic cities which after the fall of the Carthaginian metropolis, were Romanised and lost their Punic features, Kerkuane was never reinhabited. The integrity is threatened by sea erosion. The presence of a modern supporting wall on the cliff side aims at slowing down erosion of the site and preserving its integrity. As concerns the Necropolis of Arg el Ghazouani, the boundaries of this sector contain the most well preserved part of the great necropolis of Kerkuane.
Authenticity (2009)
The « punicity » of Kerkuane is perfectly reflected in the architecture, town planning, life style (it appears to have been largely city-dwellers), the socio-economic life (diversity and wealth of economic activity), as well as some religious and funerary practices. The functional relationship of the two portions of the property, the city and its necropolis, must also be perceived in visual terms.
Protection and management requirements (2009)
The property is protected by the Law 35-1994 concerning the protection of the archaeological and historical heritage as well as the traditional arts. The property, State-owned, is managed by the National Heritage Institute (INP) which is responsible for the application of the Heritage Code. The enhancement of the site is the responsibility of the Agency for Heritage Presentation. A team attached to the INP is responsible for its safeguard and daily management. A supporting wall has been built against the cliff to counter the negative effect of undertow on the vestiges. The necropolis is enclosed and a permanent guard is maintained. Archaeological excavations as well as safeguarding (restoration) of the monuments are planned. A buffer zone which shall be submitted for control by the INP is being studied. Its boundary should enable the integration of the two elements of the inscribed property and the administrative and regulatory measures for its management should be defined.
Long Description
Kerkuane, which has never been reinhabited since it was abandoned, bears exceptional witness to Phoenician town planning and daily life in a Punic city.
At the tip of Cap Bon, the archaeological site of Kerkuane has enriched knowledge in the area of Punic town planning thanks to the discovery of a city (Tamezrat?) which was fossilized after being abandoned during the first Punic War (c. 250 BC). Unlike Carthage, Tyre or Byblos, no Roman city was built upon this Phoenician city whose port, ramparts, residential districts, shops, workshops, streets, squares, temples and necropolis clearly remain as they were in the 3rd century.
The rectangular houses have a single entrance and a corridor which afford access to an interior courtyard containing a well, a washbasin and a bath; around the courtyard there are reception rooms. In proving the repetitive nature of this particular plan, which was taken to be a typical plan, the excavation made it possible to confirm the existence of an authentic town-planning programme that gave considerable importance to hydraulics and hygiene.
Through the study of small artefacts and structures, it is possible to understand a city that was cut off from the hinterland and lacking in agricultural and pastoral occupations, preferring to focus its efforts on industry (manufacture of purple dye through murex processing) and arts and crafts (stonecutters, masons, stucco workers, potters, and makers of clay figurines abounded there). It is believed that this Phoenician port traded with the Punic cities of Sicily, particularly Motya, as early as the 6th century.
The links between Punic culture, Hellenic culture and natives cultures can be analysed over three centuries on the basis of architectural forms and on a number of iconographic documents illustrating Assyro-Babylonian, Phoenician, Greek and Sicilian, etc., influences.
The necropolis of Arg el Ghazouani, located on a rocky hill less than 1 km north-west of the city, is the best conserved portion of the great Kerkuane necropolis whose tombs are scattered throughout the coastal hills at the extreme end of Cap Bon. In the protected area there are approximately 200 tombs, including 50 that have not been excavated. Investigations of the site revealed two types of tomb: these hewn in rock and these comprising a funerary chamber, with dromos in tiers and an antechamber. No other example of this type of tomb with steps has been found outside the area of Cap Bon.
The funerary chambers reveal a rich collection of seats, niches and dug-out sarcophagi never before found in other necropolises. Decorations painted in red ochre and inscriptions of the name of the deceased engraved above the entrance doors are a basic source for the study of funerary rites. Exceptionally rich furnishings (ceramics, bronze artefacts, jewellery, coins, etc.) add to the value of the site. Burials at the site cover a long period, from the 6th to the mid-3rd centuries BC.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

This is an interesting new release. It features four orchestral compositions by Norwegian composer Arvid Kleven. Kleven was flautist in, what is now Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. Largely self taught as composer, Kleven penned the title work "Lotusland" in 1922 when he was 23 years old while "The Sleeping Forest" dates from 1923. These two compositions, both amply scored, could be easily called tone poems and the titles seem to reveal some influence from England (Arnold Bax pops to mind). "Lotusland" reveals young Kleven as a master of orchestration, a natural talent for this musical form – one can never feel the lack of formal education in this score. Despite being praised by the contemporary Norwegian critics, the piece disappeared from the repertoire even before composer's premature death (Kleven died in 1929, a few days short of his 30th birthday). One of the reasons for this musical injustice could be found in total fiasco of "The Sleeping Forest". The critics found Kleven's impressionist interests disturbing and completely inappropriate for Norway whose musical scene was still under strong influence of Edward Grieg and his lyricism. Despite this, the composer did not give up his interests as evidenced in Symphonic Phantasy op. 15, written in 1926. In here Kleven mixes (and indeed well-balances) dissonant and powerful episodes with more melodic and lyrical ones. The reception of Phantasy was similar to that of "The Sleeping Forest": according to the well-written and informative CD notes it was 'the greatest scandal of the decade', with the music being described as 'disgustingly ugly'. The last work, Sinfonia Libera in due parti, op. 19 written while Kleven studied under Schoenberg in Berlin 1926-27 was greeted in the in the same negative spirit after its first performance in 1927.
Truth to be told, at least in my opinion, Sinfonia Libera is probably the least successful work on this CD. Is this the result of Robert Ronnes arrangement, the performance or the work itself? It is hard to say. Maybe Kleven himself was not ready for a strong influence of Berlin school of music. But, whatever is the case, the overall CD is very enjoyable. It offers a unique and not commonly encountered opportunity to meet an unknown yet greatly talented musician and at the same time follow the rapid development of his musical ideas. Despite the change in stylistic interests, his orchestration always remains rock-solid. Ms. Susanna Malkki leads Stavanger Symphony orchestra in well-balanced performance coupled with very good sound quality. They play the music confidently and show that they really believe in it. The two early pieces. "Lotusland" and "The Sleeping Forest" appeared previously on Simax label (catalog number PSC3106) coupled with Kleven's Sonata for violin and piano. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to hear this performance by Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra under Christian Eggen so I cannot give any comparison. One way or the other, this music is worth hearing – the CD gives you an hour (and a few minutes) of excellent and varied orchestral music by a talented and promising composer whose life was cut tragically short. Recommended!
In one of my previous posts I wondered "Where is technology taking us these days" Naxos Music Library is one of the web-sites that makes me wonder the same thing. This library, a subscription based service, is an archive of over 38 000 CDs with more than half a million tracks available for streaming (not download, unfortunately) and listening around the globe! Each day new CDs are added to the library (about 10 of them per day). For a monthly rate of US$25.00 (or annually US$225.00) you get a high bandwidth access to the amazing worlds of classical music, film music, jazz, blues, world music, nature sounds and so on and so on. And you can choose the quality of your stream (FM, near-CD & CD) with the choice of three plug-in players: SilverMedia, Flash Player and Media Player (Flash Player has additional useful features). Of course, as expected, the overall experience depends on our internet connection and sound system on the computer. For me, everything went smoothly: not server-down times, no freezing or similar IT issues that can plaque a service like this. Institutional subscriptions are also available on demand. The labels featured are as varied as the genres: from world-leaders (BIS, Chandos, Naxos, CPO, ATMA) to those lesser known ones (2L, Urtext, Zebra art, Amon Ra, etc.) As a subscriber you can make your own play lists, browse the content by composer, label, period and genre. If you want to skip this, you can use quite good search engine. Many composers and artist have a short biography and works in the library have some basic information about them (year of composition, publisher, orchestration etc.) The library is an 'archive' since you can find in it many out-of-print recordings. 'Naxos Classical Archives' titles add a particular dimension as well. This imprint is not available in stores and covers over 700 historical recordings from 1950s and 1960s digitally transferred. If you would like to hear Malcolm Arnold conducting his symphonies, or Rubinstein playing Beethoven's piano concertos this is the place to go! I personally have made many new discoveries using NaxosMusicLibrary, some of them featured in my '10 for 2010' post (Harald Weiss comes to mind…). If you are a musician, educator, or plain music lover (like yours truly) this place on the virtual map is for you!
This was not an easy task for me. Not at all. I am a person who likes to see the forest but be still aware of as many individual trees as possible… or vice versa. After all, those trees, their individuality, are responsible for the variety and colorfulness of the forest as a whole. After quite a bit of internal self-debate, here are ten handpicked individuals for 2010 in music. (Each name is a link to the official web-site – explore more!).
September is over and with it our topic of the month – anniversaries. The anniversaries usually bring reflections on the times past. In these reflections we remember the moments that defined us, our environment and in the case here at A+C – the moments that changed our artistic discipline. The moment that we reflect on and remember can be different, dependent on us and our interests and experiences. Thus we traveled in time all way back to Henry Purcell, Handel and Haydn, but we also found space for our close contemporaries. We remembered those jazz and classical recordings that influenced musical scene or us as listeners, composers, and performers. We also remembered those defining moments in art when profound change in thinking and understanding of musical expression took place. Of course, what would musical world be without various lively venues in which it is presented to broader audiences – and we have met several of them on A+C pages devoted to this month's topic.
October is looming large ahead of us and with it a new topic of the month – Archives – which will be introduced soon by our very own and insightful Christopher Willes!.
If there is a recording that really stuck to my mind it is Bernstein's recording of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony made almost exactly 50 years ago – in October 1959. This was not only my introduction to Shostakovich's opus but also to one of my favorite symphonic pieces. Bernstein took his New York Philharmonic on the tour of Europe and the (than) Soviet Union. The high point of the tour was their performance of Shostakovich's 5th in the presence of the composer who came on stage to shake Bernstein's hand. On their return, the conductor and orchestra recorded the piece for CBS Masterworks (now this archive belongs to Sony Classical). Even though many have recorded this symphony (Bernstein himself made new recording with the same orchestra in Tokyo some 20 years later) none of them have the same power, same thrust, same uninhibited ecstatic energy like this one. This one grabs listener's emotions from the first to the last bar!
And the symphony has emotions to share. Shostakovich officially described it as 'Creative reply to just criticism', criticism he received for his opera "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District', which was after initial success heavily criticized by political apparatus in the USSR. Needless to say, Shostakovich after this was not in favor with the political regime in Moscow. Probably the most controversial part of his "creative reply" remains symphony's final movement. Shostakovich described it as providing "cheerful, optimistic resolution". Many disagree, and if you really listen to it, you'll see why…

As anyone knows who has learned the old saying "Leaves of three, let it be" the hard way, poison ivy has a nasty habit of rewarding those who touch it with two or three weeks of blistering misery.
- Poison Ivy's "leaves of three" are glossy-green, but are tinged with pink in the spring, and take on a brilliant orange in the autumn.
- It has small, pearl-colored berries. These are a favorite treat of many birds, which spread poison ivy seeds around the countryside.
The Poison
The poison is an oily resin called urushiol that occupies every part of the plant, including the roots.
- The leaves, especially young ones, contain the most toxin.
- The oil can remain on tool handles and clothing for as long as a year. Dogs and cats can carry its potency on their fur. This is why you can come down with a rash without having seen poison ivy in months.
Fortunately, the oils don't always go to work immediately, especially on dirty or work-hardened hands. If you come in contact with poison ivy, wash up at once and launder your clothes using old yellow laundry soap or boraxo to cut the oil. (Soaps made with fat are ineffective.)
If you become affected, there is no shortage of remedies, but many of them are useless and some can even make matters worse.
- Mild cases can be helped by calamine lotion, over-the-counter cortisone creams, and saltwater soaks, but severe cases require prescription cortisone.
- A barrier cream, IvyBlock, containing quaternium-18 bentonite, which bonds with the urushiol, promises to be effective 68%of the time, if applied before any contact with poison ivy.
- Eradicating poison ivy is probably the best way to remain itch-free. The plants can be destroyed by covering them with black plastic or spraying them with appropriate herbicides. But beware—even dead plants are infectious.
Perhaps someday, plant scientists will develop a non-poisonous variety. Rumor has it that they have already crossed poison ivy with four-leaf clovers, hoping to get a rash of good luck.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (9/2/13) – The University of Kentucky women's soccer team dominated every statistical category en route to a 2-1 win over the Toledo Rockets on Sunday afternoon, completing a weekend sweep for the first time this season, bumping its record to 2-1-1 on the year.
"We are a very young team," UK head coach Jon Lipsitz said. "We challenged them at halftime to continue to be active in the attack, make dynamic runs and keep pushing forward. We obviously were not happy with the way we played last week, and they all understood that, and responded with a great weekend of soccer. Toledo presented some challenges that we haven't faced all season, but we came through in a big way and got a solid road win."
Kentucky broke through in the 55th minute after leading the Rockets 14-0 in the shots category before Stuart Pope tucked away her third goal on the weekend, giving the Wildcats the 1-0 lead. Pope got a great centering ball from Arin Gilliland at the top of the six-yard box, who then beat the keeper to her left, piercing the back of the net for the goal. The ball from Gilliland came from the wide side run of Zoe Swift, who then served the ball to Gilliland to give the Cats the scoring chance.
Less than three minutes later, UK doubled their lead to 2-0 when Swift punched through her fourth-career goal, and fourth goal on the weekend in the 57th minute. Senior Caitlin Landis played a ball from the far side into the box just above the penalty stripe, and it was buried by Swift, who continued her stellar weekend. The ball to Landis on the far side came in from sophomore Courtney Raetzman, who played the ball out of midfield to a running Landis down the left flank.
The game for Swift comes directly after she recorded the first hat trick by a UK player since 2006 on Friday night in a 7-0 win over Eastern Kentucky. Between the attacking duo of Gillland, Pope and Swift, the three combined for 21 points on the weekend.
Kentucky dominated the stat categories, outshooting the Rockets 25-4 in the 90 minutes, and earning 11 corner kicks to Toledo's two. The Rockets managed just two shots on goal in the match.
The next match for the Wildcats will be on Friday night with the Louisville Cardinals coming to the UK Soccer Complex for a 7:30 p.m. ET fixture. Last year, the Wildcats toppled the Cardinals 2-0 at Cardinal Park thanks to two goals in the second half.

OK fellas I need some input from you guys. From time to time I do fabrication work for my company, usually consisting of steel counter supports, legs, and sub frames for granite, with the occasional architectural piece here and there. So up until now I have been doin the hit or miss style of estimation for pricing material + mark-up + what ever seems right.
Is there a going rate for labor, I'm sure it varies depending on the application but I have a good size project that I need to bid and am not sure where I need to be. The project is some free standing architectural canopies for a penthouse. They will be holding shades and they will be powder coated by others so everything needs to be finished quality.
Thanks for the input ahead of time guys

SinGear I don't care if your have your own big business and are licensed bonded and insured or if you are some guy who does the odd side job once in a while for some spare cash. Its none of my business.
I've been working hard at starting my own business and have had the same question. This is what I do and in no way am I saying that this is the right way but I have had to figure it out on my own so I am open to better ways if someones got some
I look at the whole job and break t down bit by bit.Ffigure out how much steel is needed for the job. then figure out how much steel you actualy have to buy i.e. if you need a total of 28' of square tubing but it comes in 20' lengths then you may have to buy 40'.
Then I look at how much prep work there is like cutting and drilling and try to figure out how long a cut will take me to set up and cut then multiply that by how many cuts I need to do or holes or whatever. you get the idea.
Then the same for fitting and then the same for welding and so on until every little detail is acounted for then add it all together for a total multiply buy your hourly rate add in a percentage for supplies (gass, rods, etc) and there you go.
That works for me and if anyone knows a better way then let me know like I said I am new at the hole price quote thing.Hobart Mega Arc 5040DD (with built in air compressor)

There are only 2 tools needed in a tool box. 1) Duct tape to fix any thing that moves that isn't supposed to. 2) WD40 to fix anything that doesn't move but should.
If you were hoping I'd say "charge X dollars for this or that,"
you're in for a disappointment.
Preparing a good bid is a science and an art. And it will make or break you.
The simple part is knowing that you should tally all costs associated with doing the job including the value of your time. Then include a healthy profit and an allowance for the unforseen.
Major pitfalls:
Not planning enough-The more time you spend thinking about how you are going to execute a job and planning every detail, the less unforseen things there could possibly be. But you can never eliminate the unforseen. Murphy is out there.
Failing to include all costs associated with the job-Do you own a garage? How long will it be until the next job comes? 2 weeks? Are you including 2 weeks of your property taxes in the cost of the job? How many miles will you put on the truck going back and for to the job and to the supply store? If you get 100 jobs out of your welder, are you including 1% of the replacement cost of the welder?
Failing get accurate costs for things you know you are going to need-Did you know there was a 10% surcharge added at the steel dealer last week? Did you know that it really costs around $1 per mile to operate a pickup truck?
Failing to realize the time value of money-BIGGIE-Especially now in this time of high inflation and sliding value of the dollar, if you have to tie up a large amount of money in materials for say, 2 months, are you including interest on the money you will have tied up?
Failing to plan for the expected-Expect to eat a job here or there for whatever reason... customer went bankrupt, you got shut down and couldn't finish, owner tries to redesign your job in progress, you got sick. Whatever the reason, we all know these things happen. If you are out there working, you may eat one job in 20 just 'cause you have to. Add 5% to total job to cover these situations. You can make a profit on 19 jobs and the one that went to heck can erase that right away.
Lowballing-Don't try to compete with jacklegs by cutting your price. What are you going to cut out of your price? You costs should include everything that costs or is likely to cost you, and nothing else. If you lower it, you'll have to gamble that bad things never happen to you. Besides, they'll call you back to fix the jackleg's work when it becomes clear that he was using the customer as a welding school.
Failing to figure the price of NOT getting the job!-Don't be cocky and highball just because you think you can milk it. You won't get it and you'll have to pay your bills without work.
That said, only you can figure your price. Someone else's price is exactly that... someone elses price. Oh, and if you run around without being legit, it will catch up with you. Nothing in business is quite as embarassing as getting shut down by the building inspector because you thought you'd save a few bucks on this short job by not getting the permit. How do I know?
80% of failures are from 20% of causes
Never compromise your principles today in the name of furthering them in the future.

I really apprecaite your input and honestly that was about the response I figured I would get just looking for some additional input here and there never helps. I just applied for my bussiness license taking one more step to become a little more legit. Gotta start somewhere but also gotta feed the family first.

As you can see I fixed the issue of where in the world I am, thanks for pointing it out.
Underbid all you want, just play on the same field as the people you are competing with. If the people you are taking work from are not licensed bonded and insured then more power to you.
Clearly that is not the case, or you would have humbled your self.
I did start out day one with a bond liability insurance, work comp insurance, followed two weeks later with the two licenses I need. Total spent $1900.00.

How to price your work is often the biggest challenge for a new shop. Since I deal exclusively in ornamental ironwork and work exclusively for a high-end designer on multi-mil$$ homes, pricing is more of an art than a science.
Sometimes I charge by the hour, that is pretty simple, hours * rate plus materials plus a markup of about 25 to 50 percent on materials.
Sometimes it is by the job, some custom who-knows-what design based on 17th century French ironwork, whatever. If I am making 100 of them, I will get better as time goes by. Otherwise, I'm always doing "onsies" or prototypes and those kill you, time-wise. You can't always charge for that.
So, I "ball-park" it based on how long I think it will take. I look at how much I'll gross minus materials and make a decision to bid the job or not. If I get the job, I do the absolutely best job possible... design, construction, finish. If I think it will take 250 hours and it takes 400. Tough on my part.
I don't want all the business, I couldn't do it all anyway. I have no competition other than the big companies that farm their work out to Mexico. My work is my signature and my customers are always satisfied.Artist Blacksmith

If someone has the guts to ask for help then either give some helpful advice or simply say you disagree. You don't need to try to get everyone else to not help. You trying to make it harder for SinGear to build his business enough to do it by the book is worse than steeling customers. Wich I do beleive you were saying he was taking customs from legit busness people like you.
It's hard enough to start a business without you trying to make it F**KING harder by telling people not to help him.
Now I would like to say I am very sorry to everyone (other than fatfab) who I offended.Hobart Mega Arc 5040DD (with built in air compressor)

I'll bet you are the first one to rile against the cheats that started the mortgage bust. Or the Enron (sp) pension theft.
Its ok to steal as long as you have a good enough excuse great lesson for them kids you are feeding.
This is one of them black and white issues, you know I am right and you know you are wrong.
Once he plays by the same rules I'll be first in line to help competition is good for business, the consumer and in general the economy. Till then no way, he is stealing work from some one who is trying to do it right.

Yesterday I was listening to No Agenda Netcast with John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry (#123). I've always been usefully entertained by Dvorak's tech columns and his skeptical view of just about everything. Adam Curry is the father of podcasting.
They spent a little time admiring a Glenn Beck segment with Democrat swift-boating apostate Pat Caddell called "A Look at Chicago-Style Politics".
Normally I would dismiss something like this as wingnuttia just stroking itself again, but this certainly is interesting:
BECK: America, does the name Whitacre, the guy who helped Rahm Emanuel make $16 million, does the name Whitacre ring a bell? Pat?They have a whole web of intrigue that goes along with this, including Emanuel's work with Wasserstein Perella, a Wall Street "deal company", where the $16 million came from a deal involving phone company SBC.
CADDELL: Because, when they appointed the new chairman of G.M., who announced the day of his appointment, I know nothing about the car business, his name was Edward Whitacre.
Say what you will about wingnuttia and its bright lights that shine only in one direction. But how these Obama-administration characters with a history of self-enrichment are handling the public interest certainly deserve more scrutiny from credible media. It's sad that these things are left for Glenn Beck.

This is probably heresy, but how can I remove the printed decoration on a brick?

Brasso (yes, the metal polish) works wonders as far as removing print. Yes, you still have to rub it, but it won't damage or scratch the surface and it works fast. Just use a soft cloth, pour some Brasso on it and wipe away the print.
Also, pure Eucalyptus Oil works really well. It requires a bit of soaking, but it will remove the print wonderfully and it smells good to - unlike Brasso. Saturate a piece of cotton in Eucalyptus Oil, place it on the printed surface, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe away the print. It may require a bit of rubbing too, but usually not much.
Hope this helps!...(c;
