"I went online at 1:00 AM and got an immediate response from Branagan's Metal Works. I read the email and went to sleep. I texted Mr Branagan at about 12:30 PM and he said that he would be at my house to pick up the piece that I needed repaired. By 6:30 that evening Mr Branagan had the piece repaired and delivered back to me. This was an exceptional service. The piece looks brand new and works very well. I would recommend Branagan's Metal Works to anyone that needs any welding done. It was really a great experience, and I am very grateful for his exceptional work."

"Kevin replaced our front porch metal railings and added metal railings to the back porch. We are so very pleased with our new railings. Kevin impressed us at the initial consult visit. He listened carefully to what we wanted and thoroughly explained his work process and what to expect. Kevin took care to protect the exterior of our house during the job and cleaned up after each day. The railings are beautiful!! Impeccable work!! Please contact Kevin at Cardinal Metal Craft. We highly recommend this company if you are wanting to replace or add metal railings to your home or business."

"Mr. Sheppard is a very professional and methodical welder with a clean and organized shop. This is reflected in the high quality of his precision work. His welding equipment is modern and capable of executing jobs in TIG, MIG, and Stick welding in various metals at his shop or on site. This provides good flexibility to attend to simple jobs as well as the more complex ones like mine. He worked very well with me (I am a retired Mechanical Engineer) on a delicate project involving welds in a structural 316 stainless steel assembly subject to a corrosion environment. The quality and temperature management of his beads on 316 stainless using TIG speaks volumes of his ample experience and knowledge with this difficult metal. Communication was superb, and his willingness to work and deliver during the weekend was another plus to his service. His price was in line with internet estimates for this project. I highly recommend Mr. Sheppard for any welding job!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. 

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.

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.
