"Carlos and his crew were very professional and friendly. They went above and beyond for my custom wrought iron gate and walk through gate on my driveway, as well as the wrought iron fence between myself and the neighbor and along the sidewalk in front of my lawn. I couldn't be happier with the way it all turned out!"

"If you could give them 10 stars I would. They walked me through the whole process, no extra pricing surprises. There were unexpected issue due to my yard is not level. I was told about it and given options to choose. I like that I made my own decision. The job was completed on the date given. They also let me inspect after each portion was complete. You wonâ t be sorry if you choose Abundant Metal Works!"

"Tony did an excellent job fabricating my 16 stair, with turn, front stair galvanized railings. I provided him a picture from a google search of the style I wanted which was a craftsman look. He reproduced it and installed it perfectly. In my backyard he fabricated 12 ft galvanized steel foot bridge, 3 sets of galvanized steel stairs and 90 ft of handrails. My only complaint was that some metal shavings created rust spots on my stone patio. In the grand scheme i consider that a minor issue considering Tony was totally responsive, flexible, easy to work with, and produces high quality work. His price was also excellent."

"Daniel did amazing work! The contract process was easy and simple to understand. We had no issues with communication and no misunderstandings. Daniel performed the exact work I hired him to do with no complications. We love our new fence! And he completely it faster than what I anticipated. I would absolutely use him again and I would recommend him to anyone seeking fence/metal work."

Welding questions, answered by experts

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. 

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.

Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.
