Q: Can I do my own welding?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t have the proper equipment. As such, it&rsquo;s usually better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-things-consider-when-hiring-welder.htm">hire a professional welder</a> for your welding projects.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain custom metal structures?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, rust prevention treatments, and protective coatings extend lifespan and appearance.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect custom metalwork costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on metal type, fabrication complexity, labor, finishing, and shipping or installation requirements.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common types of welding?

• <div><p>Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys. The most common types of welding include:</p><ul><li><p>Stick welding: $100&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Gas welding: $150 and up</p></li><li><p>Forge welding: $15&ndash;$25 per hour</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

I hired Mr. Kim to restore our gym equipment pads and benches. The quality of work was great and was completed as promised. I gave the value a 4star only because I felt the price was too high but so is everything else. We plan on using Mr. Kim again in the near future... Thank you, Mr. Kim

I'm more than pleased with the work he did. Paul was able to restore the interior and exterior of my wife's car to like-new. The price was on the high end but was well worth it. I plan to have Paul work on both of our cars at leas once a year to keep the paint in good shape.
