Who's Turning The Wrench

Welder by trade.
Angler by heart.
Dad above all.

Dave's been running a rod and a torch for longer than most of his customers have been driving. These days the "shop" is his own driveway — no overhead, no waiting room, no runaround. Just a guy who shows up, looks at the problem, and fixes it right.

He learned patience raising kids and testing it on stubborn fish, and it shows in the work: nothing leaves his driveway until it's done the way he'd do it for his own boat, his own truck, his own family.

"If I wouldn't trust it on my own trailer, I'm not sending it out on yours."

What Gets Fixed

Services

If it's metal and it's broken, bent, rusted through, or missing entirely — there's a good chance it's a driveway call.

Freshly welded boat engine exhaust and muffler
STEEL · STAINLESS

Marine & Exhaust Repair

Exhaust risers, mufflers, flex joints, and through-hull piping — welded belowdecks or on the trailer, wherever the boat happens to be sitting.

Repairing a rusted boat trailer tongue in the driveway
MIG · STICK

Trailer & Tow Repair

Cracked tongues, rusted-out crossmembers, bunk brackets, and hitch work. Trailer fails at the ramp, not on your watch.

Truck fitted with a custom-built ladder rack
STEEL · ALUMINUM

Custom Truck Racks

Ladder racks, rod holders, and bed rigging built to fit your truck, your gear, and how you actually use it — not a catalog size.

Custom fabricated steel spiral staircase
ONE-OFF BUILDS

Custom Fabrication

Stairs, shelving, gates, brackets — if you can sketch it on a napkin, there's a decent chance it can get built.

We come to you

Driveway, dock, job site — the truck and torch show up where the problem is.

Fair, honest pricing

No shop overhead means no shop markup. You pay for the weld, not the waiting room.

Angler owned

Knows boats and trailers because he lives on them — not just because he's read the manual.

Family business

One guy, one truck, one name on the work. Dave shows up — not a rotating crew.

A Driveway Side Project

Meet Spot

Built from scrap and offcuts on a slow afternoon — proof that not everything that comes off the welding mat has to be practical. Spot's had one repair since he was born, and yes, it really was a spot weld.
