"Marvin was the first person who contacted me about my project and I informed him that I wanted to get two more bids before I made my decision. After getting the two other bids I ended up going with Marvin at MG welding. He completed my job within the same week that I contacted him. I would TOTALLY hire him again =)"

"I had a difficult time finding a fencing company in the San Antonio area that offered the right combination of quality, affordability, and reliability. After meeting Mark with Noah’s Ark Fencing, I knew I had found the right person for the job. I had an old chainlink fence from a previous project that needed to be removed. Mark provided a fair estimate, gave me a clear timeframe for completing the work, and followed through exactly as promised. From start to finish, Mark was professional, punctual, and committed to doing quality work. He used high quality materials and went above and beyond to address even the smallest concerns I had. His attention to detail and willingness to make sure everything was done right really stood out. I would absolutely recommend Noah’s Ark Fencing to anyone in need of fencing services. Mark’s work is 10 out of 10, and he truly goes above and beyond for his customers. Excellent work, fair pricing, and someone you can count on!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation. 

Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.

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. 

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

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.
