My name is Dustin Moen, I have been a professional welder for the past 17 years. I started this business back in 2016. My history in “job shop” businesses has taught me valuable skills in custom fabrication and various types of welding including TIG and SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), and MIG. I have a background in machining, business management, and quality management. I ensure a quality product and building a great relationship with our customers. I'm offering a service that is a fraction of the cost found anywhere else, but with the matched quality that comes from the bigger guys.. Please give me a call, email, message on Facebook or Instagram, to setup a time to meet in person for any questions. I look forward to doing business with you! Dustin Moen

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.

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.

With the right tools, DIY sheet metal repair can be done for small, non-structural issues, but larger repairs usually require the involvement of an experienced technician.

Yes, metal fabricators work with clients to create custom sculptures, architectural features, or industrial components.

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.
