"DO NOT HIRE GUNLOCK, specifically do not hire Caleb Gunlock. If possible, to give a lower rating, I would. There is a reason why They are rated so low with only a handful of ratings and only 1 being positive. They were paid to install and hook up an outdoor wood boiler. They came out and claimed to know what they were doing. Signed off on work. Now I am stuck with a outdoor wood boiler system that does not work. It does not heat either the shop or house. The OWB is working perfectly. They did not bleed the system. They fired up the system without checking their pipes. So my pumps ran dry for several hours due to their negligence Just not the parts they were hired to hook up and install. And to make it better my original heat that was working first is now not working. So, I am stuck with no heat with a wife and 2 under 5 kids. They agreed to complete work. Said they completed the work. Which they did not. When I approached them about making it correct Caleb told me to " MAKE MY DAY" This is the worst company I have ever hired. They said that all parts are included when they bid the job. Then tried to make me pay for adapters and argued about that. Caleb Gunlock is a spineless coward. Called me a liar to my face, and when confronted stumbled over his own words. Would not honor the agreement that was listed out on the invoice. caleb gunlock WILL NOT BE A MAN OF HIS WORD AND STAND BEHIND IT!!!! I now need to hire another company to fix what they messed up. I highly suggest someone else that has a better knowledge of how to properly do the work."

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

The best tool for cutting metal ducts depends on the duct's shape and thickness. For round ducts, a duct cutter provides accurate, clean cuts. Reciprocating saws equipped with metal-cutting blades are versatile and suitable for both round and rectangular ducts. They offer speed and precision, especially for thicker metal. 

Tin snips are handy for intricate cuts or smaller ducts. However, an angle grinder with a metal-cutting wheel is powerful and efficient for large or thick metal ducts. 

Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like handrails or lighting.

The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.

Also called metal pressing, metal stamping involves placing a metal sheet into a stamping press to create a desired shape using custom tooling. Ideal for mass production, stamping creates coining, embossing, and flanging effects when shaping metal. Meanwhile, sheet metal fabrication is a more cost-effective option ideal for one-off or low-volume projects because it doesn't require custom tooling.

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.
