"He did very well. He came several times to measure the railing requirements, and designed/built the railing, that had to be customized, because the steps are not exactly level or always the same. not surprisingly not everything fitted immediately, but he fixed whatever needed to be fixed as soon as possible and was always very pleasant about it. It was clear for the very beginning that he wanted to please the customer and we truly appreciated that attitude. I enjoyed discussing with him what the best way to build the railing would be, and my wife and I are very satisfied with the finished product. If called we will be very glad to recommend him to whoever has a need for the services he provided."

"We hired Donnie to repair the welds on the folding legs of our ironing board which we've had for over 10 years. We took the ironing board to his shop and waited for it. Donnie was pleasant and informative about what needed to be done and then said, "not a problem; I can fix it." It only took him 15 minutes to complete the job. The ironing board is as good as new and we couldn't be more pleased. His price was very reasonable. We also learned that Donnie is a certified welder, having graduated from trade school. He is young, smart and courteous. We could not be more pleased and would definitely use him again for any other welding needs."

Welding questions, answered by experts

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

The best thing to cut metal pipe is a durable pipe cutter that is made for metal. You may want to measure the diameter of the pipes before purchasing a pipe cutter to ensure it will be able to cut your metal pipes. Opt for a heavy-duty option to cut through metal like steel or cast iron.

To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.

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.
