What is a metal fabricator and why I chose to be one.

It’s common to confuse the metal fabrication trade with the welding trade, and there is certainly some cross over. “Bob’s Welding” would likely be a do it all metal shop, more closely related to fabrication than welding. So what’s the difference?

As a trade, welders study the art of fusing metal together. The knowledge of sticking metal together properly is truly endless. At Shelter Studio we work with steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, copper, and alloys in between, at various thicknesses. Each one requires its own welding process. Some welding processes are simple, and some are very difficult, for me anyway. I’m not a master welder, and might never be one.

There was a time on a jobsite that I watched a welder TIG weld a stainless steel boiler pipe that was cracked on the underside, where it wasn’t visible. To see where he was welding he used a mirror, and he controlled the welder with his knee on a foot pedal. Imagine being skilled at a precision task; now imagine doing it backwards because you are looking at a mirror, while operating a machine with your knee. To make the scenario more daunting, the weld will need to hold out boiling oil.

Could I do that? Maybe with a bit of practice.
