So, Bob- what do mechanics charge there? Doctors? Oil change places? Auto  
repair is around $85 here- lots more overhead than most of us have, but  
thought provoking. Marine specialty fabrication is over $100 in most cases.
What about if someone brings in a welding job and you whack it right out  
while they watch? So far theyr'e impressed and happy to pay rate and then  
some, here, for little fixit jobs.
