Can anyone recommend someone for a very small cheap welding job?
Hi,
I am looking to get an custom ac cage installed- no bars all the way up the window, just the cage. This should be a pretty simple job. I am looking for someone cheap do do the work. Any recommendations? Price estimates? Thanks!

Long shot: Anybody happen to have parts for this fence?
I know this is a huge long shot, but posting to the Forum is cheap: Don't suppose anybody out there has any finials salvaged from this fence design, do you? I have these two, and need about four more. It was pretty common in circa 1870s Brooklyn brownstones, but it is very hard to find now. I'd pay a good price. Thanks.

Finial for a Gate
Does anyone know who I can contact about getting a metal part cast for the top of an iron gate? The iron finials on both posts are missing. Alternatively, where's the best source of architectural salvage for something like this?

Cost of steel or cast iron fencing?
What is general cost per linear foot for either steel or cast iron fencing? I would also be installing one walkway gate and a driveway gate.
I understand that fences come in many styles and sizes, I was considering 3.5 ft high and relatively simple design.

To sell or scrap my scrap metal?
We are no longer in need of a 4x6 iron platform, railing and stairs that leads from our garden floor to the backyard. We're curious if there is an aftermarket for the iron. Enough so that an interested party would pay to come take it away? (Should we dream on?) Thought it was worth posting to the group to see if its worth anything. There are so many commercials on the air lately begging for scrap metal. Oh, and it was built by Vinnie's.

Iron Fence
I am trying to find an original or new iron fence that is identical to this one. Does anyone know of an ironworker that makes this specific fence? I've tried Olde Good Things and other antique shops and no one has this.
Thanks-

Need wrought iron fence installer
I own a 16' wide house, and I found 19' of nice old wrought-iron fence at an architectural salvage place. I wanted to get the fence installed. It will need some new posts created and some modifications to work properly with the layout of my house, but nothing too complicated. Most places just seem to have experience working with new fencing. Does anyone have experience with a metalworker who can do this sort of thing?
