GMAW (MIG) welding

From thin-gauge decorative work to heavy-gauge alloy, this is the most common type of welding used for ornamental work.  It's relatively easy to do, but requires skill and experience to do well.  A quick glance at the welds will speak volumes about skills of the craftsman.

GTAW (TIG) welding

High-precision, high strength welding used in ornamental applications as well as more technical work such as tool and die repair.  Good TIG welding requires very steady hands, a discerning eye, and years of experience.  Using the newest squarewave technology available courtesy of a Miller Syncrowave TIG welder, we are able to fine-tune all aspects of the arc penetration and cleaning action while increasing stability.  This ensures the finest quality weld available.

SMAW (ARC or stick) welding

High strength, but not the neatest welding.  This type of welding is used primarily for structural work and on-site repairs.
 

                           
All of these processes are available
either in-shop or on-site.
         

Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC)

Plasma arc cutting severs metal by using a constricted arc to melt a small area of the work. This process can cut all metals that conduct electricity.  We use this technology to cut custom shapes and lettering for signs, rails, decorative art and much more.

Bending and shaping

Custom patterns, scrolls, intricate designs or sweeping curves - whatever you can dream up, we can provide.  Our craftsmen combine a mastery of traditional metalsmith skills and the newest technology to provide you with the style you're looking for.
