Daily follower snapshots from CreatorDB's longitudinal index.
Greg is the owner and operator of On Fire Welding, a mobile welding and heavy fabrication business based in Central California that serves clients across the western United States. His YouTube channel, branded under the OFW handle, documents real field work rather than scripted tutorials — content spans line boring large bearing housings, heavy equipment repair, machining operations, and the occasional job that goes sideways, as the candid titles suggest. The format leans heavily toward process and problem-solving, giving working tradespeople and equipment operators an unfiltered look at industrial fabrication at a professional level.
The audience is almost entirely male and skews older, with the largest concentration in the 35-and-above bracket — a demographic that reflects an experienced trades and heavy-industry viewership rather than a casual DIY crowd. That audience composition has attracted partnerships aligned with professional-grade equipment, including a visible association with Optima Batteries. Engagement running well above category norms for a channel of this size signals genuine community investment from viewers who treat the content as practical reference material. As skilled-trades content continues to find a dedicated audience online, OFW is well-positioned as an authentic, field-tested voice in heavy fabrication and mobile welding.
#ofw reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through Instagram, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations. As an education creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Engagement on Instagram runs around 9.1%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

On Fire Welding is a genuine, operating welding and fabrication company owned by Greg — not a content brand built around a fictional persona. The channel documents real jobs including mobile welding calls, heavy equipment repairs, and field machining across the western United States, giving viewers an unfiltered look at running an actual trade business.
Greg is the owner and operator of On Fire Welding, a mobile welding and heavy fabrication company based in Central California. He runs the @ofw channels himself, filming real job sites, equipment breakdowns, and the honest frustrations that come with owning a trade business.
On Fire Welding is based in Central California but regularly travels across the western United States to meet clients where their equipment is. The mobile welding and heavy equipment repair nature of the work means Greg and his crew go to the machines rather than the other way around.
Line boring is a precision machining process used to restore worn or out-of-round bearing bores in heavy equipment, extending machine life without replacing entire structural components. On Fire Welding is equipped specifically for this kind of field repair, and videos like the Link-Belt 750 line boring job and the large bearing housing job show the process in real working conditions.
The video followed a repair job that turned into a serious problem when a homemade track press failed mid-job, making what should have been routine work into a difficult situation. Greg's willingness to film and share these setbacks honestly — rather than only posting clean, successful outcomes — is a core part of why the channel's audience is so loyal and engaged.
Optima Batteries is a named brand consistently featured in On Fire Welding's content, appearing as one of the channel's recognizable commercial associations. For a trade-focused channel whose audience is made up largely of working equipment operators and fabricators, pairing with a battery brand that demographic already buys is a natural fit.
CN-SEAMLESS is a tooling or product solution that Greg has featured in his content, with one post specifically crediting it with making a difficult machining job significantly easier. The channel tends to showcase tools that play a real role in the actual work rather than products inserted for commercial reasons alone.
On Fire Welding handles excavators, large machinery with heavy bearing housings, tracked equipment, and other construction and industrial machines that need field repair rather than a shop setting. The Link-Belt 750 excavator is one example of the equipment that appears on the channel, alongside heavy fabrication and vehicle repair work.
On Fire Welding's engagement runs dramatically above the category average for a Micro-tier channel — a pattern common when content is genuinely niche and the creator is a real working practitioner. The audience skews older and is overwhelmingly male, matching exactly the demographic of working tradespeople and heavy equipment operators who watch to learn or relate, not just to be entertained.
On Fire Welding's primary platform is YouTube, where the longer job-documentation and repair videos live under the @ofw handle, with a supporting Instagram presence as well. The audience is heavily concentrated in the United States, with additional viewers in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Germany.
