"Excellent work on TIG welding an aluminum c-channel beam to a trailer. Daniel Elwood has skills, was prompt, and got the job done quickly and at our site with his mobile welder. I would definitely use him again for future projects."

"Our 75 year old home was built with post-WWII craftsmanship. There are solid wrought railings on the front porch and steps, along the back stairwell to the basement, and on the stoop outside of the dining room. Over the years there were places of rust and corrosion so it was covered in layers of paint. In total it was over 1,000 pounds of solid wrought iron. Jay did an excellent job of stripping the solid railings and applying a black powder coating for protection. They look so new. We couldn't be more pleased."

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.

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.

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. 

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

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.
