About the shop

We weld with TIG because it's the careful way to do it.

DFW TIG Welding is built around one process. TIG is slower than the alternatives, and that's the point: the welder controls the heat, the filler and the finish separately, which is what aluminum, stainless, thin steel and chromoly need. They're the metals that punish rushing.

Small parts get the bench: fixtures, good light and time.

How we work

Four habits that show up in the weld

1.

Photos before prices

We'd rather ask two questions than guess. A clear photo and a measurement get you an actual number, not a wide range that only protects the welder.

2.

Prep is most of the job

Grinding out a crack, scrubbing off oxide, fitting the joint tight. Nobody sees this part, and it's the reason a weld holds.

3.

Heat is the enemy on thin metal

Too much heat warps sheet, burns through tube and leaves stainless open to rust. Short, controlled passes take longer and come out straighter.

4.

No is a fair answer

Some parts shouldn't be welded: certain heat-treated pieces, safety-rated components, things worn past saving. When that's the case we say so, and point you somewhere useful.

Two ways to get the same weld

At the shop

For parts that can come off

The bench gives us full control: fixtures, back-purge gas, good light and no wind. If the part can travel, this is usually the cheaper option and the cleaner result.

At your place

For things that can't move

Gates, railings, kitchen equipment, trailers and anything bolted down. We bring a portable TIG setup and gas, and screen the work from wind.
