 Aluminum welding in SETX
I need a few small things done. Nothing complicated fab-wise. I don't mess with enough aluminum to justify buying a setup for it.
Id prefer TIG so it would look nicer but a MIG would do.... Need to get this stuff done so I can move forward with painting my boat.
Can anybody recommend someone?? Haven't been able to get ahold of Jay lately.

 Re: Aluminum welding in SETX
Yeah, I knew of him. Ideally I'd like to stay with someone in The Beaumont/Port Arthur area. I know of a couple guys up around Jasper closer to Rayburn but that's farther than I really want to take it. If it were something structural or critical yeah, I'd travel but not for a couple brackets and minor stuff.

 Re: Aluminum welding in SETX
I called Mike this morning and he said he'd give me a holler if he went by his shop today and get it done for me. If not today then Mon-Tues. If that doesn't happen for whatever reason, I'll hit those guys up next door to him.
Trying to get everything ordered next week for paint. Painting the boat sorta has the brakes on everything else right now.
