True North Fabricating

The inside of a weld is a fascinating thing! Here we took two pieces of aluminum bar and welded them together to create a cross section of an I-beam. The millermatic 255 did a great job of penetrating the .125" material and creating a super solid piece!

Every tool in our shop has paid for the next one and this Ellis bandsaw has been working pretty much round the clock for six years now! It has more than earned its keep and plays an invaluable role in darn near every project we do! Other than regular maintenance (cleaning and grease) and a new blade every so often this is the first part we have ever had to replace. The ball bearing simply wore out with use but a quick swap and we are literally back in business within a few minutes! #ellis #bandsaw #horizontalbandsaw #madeinusa #millerwelders #ironworker #welding #maker #build #fabrication #blacksmith #familybusiness #hardwork #bootstrap #smallbusiness

The guy who began his working career pushing carts at age 16 was back at it today only this time he was welding 85 of them that desperately needed repair. Thankfully we had our son who is just about the age Ed was when he started and he got to try his hand at wrestling them all over the lot!
