I'm gearing up to make several copies of my Blade Box. Originally, I took the box to Tijuana and had them weld up the frame around the box itself...but Tijuana is too iffy and dangerous for me to mess with...
My alternative is to take it to a Studio Shop and have it made right, but expensively...but am concerned with the price. Does anyone know of an L.A. welder who can do simple Strap Steel welding, but with strong steel? I can make the box, they'll build around it. Thanks.

Scene shops are expenive and like to do things their own way. Do like Paul Osburne suggested, go to a small shop that fabricates race cars. They are usually open to anything, and they usually have access to a spray booth. LA is the center of race car and custom fabrication, so you can shop arround.

Although I've never gone this route, I just did a quick search for welders on Craig's List for your area, and it turned up a lot of hits. I suspect there are guys out there that have the means and the ability but are looking for extra work, or just work in general. Phone calls are cheap and emails are less.

I've used a shop in Venice to weld for me. They did a good job.

Welding Unlimited in Castaic. They will weld in their shop or in the field. I once saw them weld 6" square by 4 foot long bars of solid steel to the 3" square hollow tube frames on the bottom of 4 motion simulators for ballast. When the ride closed 5 years later the bars were still firmly attached! If you are not out this way, you might try looking into custom wrought iron fence fabricators. Just look for a certified welder and you should be fine.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. Visualize Whirled Peas! |

Well, I didn't travel with my workshop en tow, but I was in LA yesterday, leaving now. Was shooting for a Mexican tv show in Burbank, go figure!
PM's should be done on military time, that way it's ALWAYS pm.
