Welding & Fabrication across Mobile County, AL.
Metal fabrication here means the part the repair needs. Fabrication goes with repair — most of the time, fabricating the replacement bracket, mount or section is the repair. Bring a drawing, a sample, or the broken original, and Rod makes the piece and welds it in.
Welding and fabrication runs across aluminum, cast aluminum, stainless steel and cast iron, with MIG, TIG and Stick. Some jobs are a bracket. Some are a section of frame. Some have no part number at all.
Whether Rod takes a from-scratch job depends on the job: whether he can physically do it, and whether the machinery and supplies here are big enough for it. Tell him what it is and you get a yes or a no. Call (251) 753-7337.

Welding & Fabrication — Questions, Answered.
What does metal fabrication mean on a repair job?
It means making the piece the repair needs. Fabrication goes with repair — most of the time, fabricating the replacement bracket, mount or section is the repair. Bring a drawing, a sample, or the broken original and Rod makes the piece and welds it in. Call (251) 753-7337.Will Rod fabricate something from scratch off a drawing?
Sometimes, and it depends on the job — whether he can physically do it, and whether the machinery and the supplies here are big enough for it. Tell him what it is and you get a yes or a no rather than a maybe. That is a one-man shop being straight about capacity, not a brush-off.What metals do you weld and fabricate with?
Aluminum, cast aluminum, stainless steel and cast iron, using MIG, TIG and Stick as the piece demands. Call (251) 753-7337 and describe the metal in front of you.Can you make a bracket for equipment nobody sells parts for anymore?
That is a good share of the work. A discontinued mount, a bracket that has no part number, a section of frame that rusted out — those get measured off the original or off your drawing and fabricated to fit.How do I get a welding and fabrication estimate?
