Where to find a welder?
Where would I find someone to weld a metal sculpture or other small welding projects--both locally and in general?
Thanks.

I have used Gabriel's Iron Works (9th Street and 3rd Ave.) for many projects such as: framework for a bar, floating shelves for very high-end work, and a lumber rack in my shop. He has alway been on time and under budget. 'nough said.

look for existing or former pratt student if you're looking for an artist that does metal sculpture that can interpret your ideas and knows how to do some interpretative or creative stuff. small non-structural projects (ie not decks, beams for the house) are handyman type stuff that anyone with a stick or portable mig welder can handle.
just fyi if you are looking to do stuff with aluminum, stainless steel copper or unusual dissimilar materials, stuff with very thin metal, and with stuff where a seam should be invisible, you will want to find someone with a shop, they may need a tig welder and more experience.
I've used perfect circle metal works on 11th in williamsburg, don't know with the economy if they are still around, but they had a medium sized shop.

I do basic welding on light steel (no unlike metals, no stainless, no aluminum). Most of my Brooklyn work has been to repair steel entry gates. Considering the limitations in the equipment I use, my prices are reasonable.

Martel Fabrication or Perfect Circle. Down the street from each other in Williamsburg.
