"The Welding Connection was an awesome experience. They fixed our Veterans' US flag pole with honesty and gave us a veterans discount. Both Warren and Suzy were very friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to doing business with them again in the near future."

"I drive a tractor trailer for a living and my trailer blew a tire out and broke my mud flap completely off. I hired Bail Out Crew to come fabricate and weld a new bracket onto my trailer to hang a new mud flap. I have to say that the timing and performance of this crew was spectacular! My mud flap looks very similar to factory and I couldn't have asked for a better looking job. I would recommend this business to anyone with ANY metal fabrication needs."

Welding questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.

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’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’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.

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.

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.
