Welding & Assembly
Joining the metal once it's cut and formed — welded, riveted, seamed, or bolted, depending on what the part actually needs.
What this covers
Welding is part of the fabrication work rather than something I sell on its own. It's how the parts I build get held together, and how a broken one gets put back into service.
- MIG welding on mild steel, through shop work and trade training
- Sheet metal seams, locks, and riveted assemblies
- Mechanical fastening and bolt-together builds
- Repairs to racks, frames, brackets, and shop equipment
- Grinding, dressing, and finishing welds that end up visible
MIG on mild steel is what I'm set up for right now; TIG is the next addition. I'm not a certified pressure or structural welder, so anything that needs a welding procedure, an inspection, or a stamp goes to a certified shop — you'll hear that up front rather than after the fact.
How repair and assembly work runs
Send photos of the break
Close up on the failure and wide enough to show the whole piece, plus what it does and what it holds.
Repair or rebuild
Sometimes a weld fixes it. Sometimes the part failed because it was wrong to begin with and rebuilding it costs less than fixing it twice.
Back in service
Welds dressed, finish cleaned up, and back to you. Pickup and drop-off gets arranged around the schedule.
Common questions
What can you weld?
Mild steel with MIG. Aluminum and stainless welding isn't something I take on yet — that comes with TIG. If your part needs it, I'll say so and point you somewhere that can do it properly.
Do you take mobile welding calls?
Not currently. Work happens where the equipment is, so pieces come to me rather than the other way around.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace?
Depends on the piece. I'll give you both numbers and a recommendation, including when the honest answer is to replace it.
