Jaytech Welding & Fabrication

Here is just a couple of examples of some of the exotic metals we frequently work with. The first is the repair of a crack on a titanium exhaust. These always need to be purged with argon to ensure there is no corruption on the inside! The second is a large piece of magnesium that needed holes filled. Titanium can be welded using a direct current, similar to steel/stainless steel alloys, whereas magnesium needs an alternating electrical current, like aluminum. But it is imperative that you use the correct filler rod!

Recently the shop was occupied by a statue of a woman made entirely out of steel washers! She had fallen down and broken her leg off with a bunch of pieces missing. We carefully put her back together using all the pieces our customer could find and also added a few of our own washers to reinforce her leg so she wouldn’t break again! We think she looks pretty good considering she had already been missing her head! (Her other leg had already been missing too)

We worked long and hard on these riser bases, but now they are ready to go. These large structures stand at slightly over four feet tall and are made from aluminum. We love this kind of precision fabrication! Now that these are all wrapped up, they are ready to be delivered to our customer!

This new customer needed this ladder shortened so he cut off the ends of the legs and had us cut caps and weld them on. We love small fab-and-repair jobs like this!

These stainless steel sprockets are one of Haley’s favorite things to do! Super tiny steel welds are what she’s best at. We are grateful for our loyal customers who keep bringing in these familiar jobs and keeping us busy during these difficult times.

Remember all those trusses we did a while back? We just completed some more work for this customer! The first thing you see here is these bezels. They are meant to go around the rim of a box to prevent damage in case any accidents should occur. The second thing is these plates. We machined all these holes manually. Each component gets a front and a rear plate, which you see here. Both of these jobs were made from aluminum – our specialty!

We are so glad to stay open during this COVID-19 crisis because of jobs like this! Last week we made 1,000 of these aluminum posts which will hold up glass as a barrier at cash registers in grocery stores. We are so grateful to be able to provide these products to help protect fellow essential workers!

This large sculpture is something we had in the shop recently. It will have lights strung through it and will be hung on the side of a building. We included an picture of another one that is already mounted so you can get an idea of what it will look like. The angles the bars sat at and the way they all laid within each other proved to be an interesting challenge!

Being that we are a part of the manufacturing of defense and medical supplies, we are staying open during these uncertain times. However, we are taking extra precautions to keep all of our employees safe! We are practicing social distancing by staying at least 6 feet away from each other, which, luckily, is easy for us with our small number of employees and the size of our shop! Our office manager, Peggy, is also taking some time off of office work to sew masks for all of our workers and their families!

This is a picture we forgot to post when we had this thing in the shop! This massive structure took a lot of man power and a lot of hours. It’s a perfect example of not only our welding skills, but also our fabrication skills. We built this whole thing from scratch, starting with bringing in the material lengths and cutting/angling it to size. we had several plates we had to machine as well. This whole thing was built out of over forty pieces and was about seven feet long! This picture shows our top guy, Terry, welding a part of it from underneath while it was lifted by the forklift.
