Replacing / Reinforcing Angle Clips for Car Wash Construction

This is the all-new 7 Flags Car Wash across from Ryan’s Automotive on N. Texas Street in Fairfield CA. I had to remove these angle Iron clips and replace (weld) them with larger ones. This is also what the finished establishment will look like. It is a fully automated, Self-Serve Car Wash, the vehicles are guided down the tunnel by a huge conveyor belt that the car sits on. Pretty Cool.

Who You Gonna Call When the Airport Concrete Runway Machine Breaks?

This was a fascinating job done for Antigo Construction out of Idaho who was contracted to break up a runway at Travis Air Force Base in Northern CA.

These brutal machines are remotely operated and have a 20,000 lbs. guillotine type breaker bar that is used to break (pulverize) concrete down to a depth of 3’ (36”). Not only does the breaker bar bit wear out, but these machines literally destroy themselves over time.

Here's a YouTube video example of this type of machine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mJBo0niBrk

I spent many hours replacing the breaker bar bits and repairing cracks in the mast carriage as well as the frame structure which is also the hydraulic fluid reservoir. Once a crack develops the machine has to be shut down and the failure repaired to minimize the environmental impact from oil loss.

EXPERTISE:

• Commercial Work, Classic restorations, Custom Exhaust, Frames, Structural welding
• Small to large scale piping jobs that operate under high pressure and temperature service, sanitary welding
• Platform construction and repairs including redesigning and or replacement
• Custom fabrication of guards, handrails, safety covers, and shields to comply with OSHA and Cal OSHA regulations.
• Overlay and weld build-up using Stellite and other hard facing Alloys.

Interesting Ornamental Welding In Fremont CA

Completed Project

This is why I need a C-23 license with CSLB.

(https://www.cslb.ca.gov/About_Us/Library/Licensing_Classifications/C-23_-_ORNAMENTAL_METAL.ASPX)

I have that license so I can do these fun ornamental projects.. The images shown are decorative Trellises in front of Lennar at Innovations living community in Freemont. I did this welding job for Column Concepts of Benicia. Prior to the welding, these are ratchet-strapped together as I tap weld them, then I can start removing the straps as I go, then start welding these together.

Welding Schedule 10 304 Stainless Steel Pipe and Fittings

One of my clients secured a larger shop and is in the process of moving his equipment to the new location. This doesn’t stop the need to stay on track on current projects. 

This job is over 4,000 ft. of various sizes of Schedule 10 304 stainless steel piping and fittings. Here I am doing 'Fusion Welding' where the joints are welded (fused) together without the use of adding filler rod. This requires carefully controlled conditions where the heat (amps) and speed (travel) must be in perfect balance to allow the arc to penetrate the two seams to form an internal bead without blowing a hole or causing the joint to suck back and become concave. A positioner helps to control the rotation speed. These are 2 ½” and 3” Tee fittings that get a 1 ½” threaded fitting attached to them.

As you can see, there is much to do here and a lot of focused, careful, and precise welding.

EXPERTISE:

• Commercial Work, Classic restorations, Custom Exhaust, Frames, Structural welding
• Small to large scale piping jobs that operate under high pressure and temperature service, sanitary welding
• Platform construction and repairs including redesigning and or replacement
• Custom fabrication of guards, handrails, safety covers, and shields to comply with OSHA and Cal OSHA regulations.
• Overlay and weld build-up using Stellite and other hard-facing Alloys.

Welder Hates The Ride, Adds Kelderman Air Suspension

Welder Don Crossley needed a heavier duty truck to transfer his highly personalized welder body to. The body weighs over 8,000 lbs., so he bought a Ford F450 Super Cab chassis fully loaded. He loves the truck, but hated the way it rode, thinking it was so rough riding. So he contacted Kelderman, the air suspension people, discussed their product, and had the complete system installed on his new F450. Now, he's a happy camper, or rather, a happy welder. Good ride, all the toys, and rides so smooth in comparison. The truck is owned by Croz Custom Metal Fabrication, Inc., home-based in Fairfield CA working much of Northern California from this great truck.

EXPERTISE:

• Commercial Work, Classic restorations, Custom Exhaust, Frames, Structural welding
• Small to large scale piping jobs that operate under high pressure and temperature service, sanitary welding
• Platform construction and repairs including redesigning and or replacement
• Custom fabrication of guards, handrails, safety covers, and shields to comply with OSHA and Cal OSHA regulations.
• Overlay and weld build-up using Stellite and other hard-facing Alloys.

Welding Truck Body Tour

Don Crossley of Croz Custom Metal Fabrication Inc., was kind enough to give us a tour of his awesome welding rig. He recently bought a new Ford F450 Super Cab chassis with all the toys, transferred his existing welding body so that he could have the capacity he needed. He got everything he wanted except he didn't much like the way the truck rode. So he took it to Kelderman and they installed a 4-link air suspension system and Don not only gets a great ride but some added benefits that are really helpful. Check out this walkaround of his truck.

All My Jobs Are Different And All Are Interesting Too

This job is a little different, but just as much fun. These doors were not hung properly and were hitting the side walls when trying to fully open them which ripped the hinges off the base. I had to remove the door hinges, fabricate 2 each of 2” x 3” x ¼” rectangle tubing so I could extend the mounting position of the door hinges so when fully open, would clear the front wall.

Often times it doesn’t really matter how it’s done just so it’s right when I leave.
