"I had a specific portion of an aluminum car to be welded. I called five or six shops and got nowhere before I found Dalton. He was extremely communicative and did a great job and offered options all along the way. Highly recommend. You won’t go wrong with him."
"Young Gun's was extremely prompt, reasonable, and did beautiful work on an indoor balcony railing for our mountain home. I highly recommend Young Gun's!"
"April has done several jobs for me - some small and some large. She did some pipe welding for and welded some frames for my truck. I would definitely use her again and have already recommended her."
"Had a patio glider sofa that was broken on one side that needed to be welded. Did a great job.
On the other side had a bar that needed repaired. Was able to drill through the leg and attached new screw.
Sofa looked great. Work was done at my house and left no mess.
Arrived on time. Was very professional and polite.
Would use this company again and will highly recommend ."
"I am the former President of our gated townhome community.. A vehicle ran into our heavy steel gate and bent it. It was not operating correctly because of being unbalanced and not shutting securely. These two young men were reliable and dependable and repaired our gate on the premise. The price was fair and we would definitely call on them again if needed. Experienced welders for sure!!!"
Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective.
Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation.
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.
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.
Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.
To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
