Honored to receive the responsibility for this piece! This casted case is part of the early 1907 Production run from Ford. An original part of the Model N series (predecessor to Model T). This is one part of less than 150 originals left. It was handled with caution and care, thought out slowly, and worked methodically. As always I am impressed at how clean old aluminum castings from America actually are. There were many cavities in the casting, but even with all the fluid it housed over the years it was fairly clean and welded well. Careful testing, welding, re-testing, and heat cycling hopefully will allow this piece to be part of a lightly used working machine, not just part of a stationary show-piece. The Ford stuff becomes more and more rare, but one more lives on! #1907

What is a welder in your mind? Is it the big truck with spools and giant wheels and a skid? Sitting in the shop, welding in a clean environment and making parts.. yeah that makes money. But every now and then you have to go lay in the dirt and just do a simple repair to remind the world that you’re there to serve. The one true constant about machines.. they break!! I wouldn’t trade that fact for any other comfort in business!

No shop crew. No helper. Just the prints, the beam, and the work with a bad ass carpenter on-site
Cut it. Grind it. Drill it. Fit the plate. Hang it. Bolt it. Weld it. On to the next one.
This is what Custom Cut and Build actually looks like — field cuts, mag drill holes, connection plates, and steel in the wall the same day. Engineered builds are a cake walk. CC&B is happy to do it for you, with you.

We used to build “whatever you need.”
Now we just build handrails.
Handrails on the floor. Handrails on blocks. Handrails leaning on the shop. Handrails haunting our dreams.
Custom Cut and Build.
Northern Michigan. Mobile welding. Custom parts. Fabrication.
And, apparently, every railing in a 50-mile radius.
Need one that actually fits and doesn’t look like it came from the big-box clearance aisle?

It doesn’t have to be hard or complicated, and it's not always really "involved." Sometimes you just process it quick, send it on, and all parties involved are happy!

When you receive a piece of steel tube that isn’t straight, don’t panic, just straighten it. Oxy/fuel targeted heat and quenching goes a long way! Heat the convex side, quench it, it shrinks and becomes straight. There aren’t calculations.. no formula or ai.. just eyeball it, straight-edge it, and make it work!!

Any time I go out wearing my business merch, I expect compliments because strangers really do take a moment to tell me they love my gear, ALL THE TIME!

Simple bends = Simple process! Don’t get rid of your cheap 20T press with the SWAG kit.. there are tons of uses for it! Setting up a bend program is fun and all.. but what’s more fun, is doing stuff the manual way. It keeps your mind on theory. Be able to make a bend when the power is out if you have to!
