In this week's episode, Beau chats with self-taught fabricator and structural engineer Jake LeGrand about his journey from college research labs to hand-cutting custom metal signs and flatbeds in his Kansas City–area shop. Jake shares how learning a broad range of skills—from plasma cutting to welding—opened new doors and fueled his passion for “collecting” techniques. If you've been curious about taking on sign-making, turning your hobby into paid work, or just leveling up your fabrication game, this episode is for you. In This Episode, You'll Learn: 1. Jake's Beginnings • How a college job in a research lab led Jake to discover a love for welding and fabrication. • The crucial first “yes” moments that sparked his passion for fabrication. 2. From Hobby to Side Business • Making pheasant silhouettes and farm signs for friends and professors—and how word-of-mouth grew his clientele. • Balancing a day job as a structural engineer with an after-hours metalworking hustle. 3. All About Plasma Cutting • Going from a compact Hobart unit with an internal compressor to setting up a larger shop space. • Why dry air and proper equipment maintenance can save you money on consumables. • Hand-cutting vs. CNC: Why Jake still loves the artistry and freedom of freehand plasma cutting. 4. Building Large-Scale Projects & Shipping • Creating oversized signs and the shipping challenges that come with them (including freight costs and oversize fees). • Safety tips for cutting into tanks, including thorough cleaning and venting. 5. Sign-Making Logistics • How Jake sketches sign designs using an iPad and overhead projector to achieve accurate proportions. • Lighting options (like Govee LED strips) for durable, easy-to-control sign backlighting. • Simple mounting solutions that help customers install heavy metal signs. 6. Tool Talk & New Adventures • Jake's recent partnership with ESAB and how it aligns with his preference for genuine, “non-salesy” endorsements. • Venturing into building custom truck flatbeds and the opportunities on social media platforms (like TikTok) for new projects. 7. Mindset & Advice for New Fabricators • Keeping the passion alive and avoiding burnout: why loving what you do is key. • The importance of doing your own research and respecting others' time when asking for help. • Embracing a “skills collector” mentality—never know which skill you'll need next!

In this week's episode, Beau chats with Keenan Maines, a seasoned welder fabricator, who recounts his 35-year career. He talks about getting his start in welding at Braun where he held multiple positions and advises new welders to get into manufacturing to get exposure to all kinds of jobs. He then talks about learning to weld aluminum after hours at a shop to get another job building car wash systems before walking in the door of DeAngelo Marine Exhaust and telling the owner's wife he could weld better than the guy out in the show who happened to be the owner and put his skills to the test getting a job right off the street. He then left to pursue work building turbine boats and power generators before coming back to DeAngelos where he currently works in the fabrication department. He leaves the audience with advice to own up for mistakes you make, and do you best every day and the money will find you.
