Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Metal casting involves creating a prototype and a mold into which metal is poured and allowed to cool and set up. Pieces are cast in molds, making the reproduction of many identical pieces more efficient for larger quantities. Metal fabrication involves creating pieces and welding them together into a larger project, involving more skilled manual labor than metal casting. Fabrication can be more cost-effective in smaller runs but can become less efficient for producing mass quantities of identical pieces.

Welders typically charge about $65 to $150 per hour, often charging a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel as applicable. Even if the job takes less than an hour, you’ll still pay the minimum charge to cover the welder’s transportation costs if they come to you. You may still pay a minimum price if you take your project to the welder, as they still have overhead of a workshop and materials to expense.

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.

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:

  • Stick welding: $100–$1,000

  • Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Gas welding: $150 and up

  • Forge welding: $15–$25 per hour

Costs range from $500 to $10,000, depending on the type of metal, design complexity, and labor. Larger or more intricate projects require custom quotes.
