Metal welding and fabrication

25


25 per hour - - Posted Jul 28, 2016

I can help you with mig, tig and arc welding, as well as general and specialized metal fabrication, design, and consulting. I work with aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel and cast iron. I use gears and pulleys, chains and cables. I like making things that will stand the test of time, and not fail. I also like to incorporate renewable energy into projects that require electricity, and I am no stranger to the electric motor, and efficient design. to give you an idea of my current projects, I have been working on sustainable transportation, namely the electric bike. To make an electric bike that could be used to tour the country, a dream I have been actively pursuing for about 6 years, you need some kind of energy input. my plan is to build a solar trailer that will go behind my electric bike, allowing the battery to be charged along the way, so long as the sun shines. I'd love to help you with a project that make ecological and sustainable sense. Lets work together!

Training & Qualifications


I am self taught. Ive learned through trial and error, and watching many instruction videos and reading several books about metal working. I started welding in high school, and have about 15 years experience in welding and metal fabrication, and about 6 years experience in engineering and design.

Availability & Preferences


as I am a bike mechanic on Wednesdays and Sundays, I won't be able to help on those days. open on most others days. I will be on a trip between august 10th and late October, so I won't be able to help during that time.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Rex Litwiller

Since growing up on a small town farm, with 80 acres and a dairy cow for each one, I've been a builder. Back then it was tree forts and fixing my bike with dads arc welder (learned by watching my olde...r brother) and I had no idea what I was doing, only that I wanted to do it. Now days it's staying up till the crack of dawn (1:53 am now) building things in my two car garage turned metal smithing shop. I love welding, blacksmith work, and fabricating original concepts and ideas from scratch. I don't often back down from a challenge if I have the tools to take it on. Sometimes the tools to take on the challenge have to be built, and might make the project take twice as long, but in my eyes there is no reason for compromise. Especially when the tool store is closed the next day, and it would be faster to build the tool, than to wait till Monday for them to open back up.show more
