Dear Trades I'd like to tell you about D.C.welding, a fabrication shop I've opened in the southern tier. D.C.'s uniqueness is it's ability to provide the high quality, precision welding skills found at large, well established welding operations at prices affordable to small, family owned, machine shops. Coming from a family of welders and iron workers instilled in me a fondness for the steel working trades. Drafting and engineering were a big part of my early education. Not being one to sit behind a desk, I soon felt the draw of welding. From my father, a metallurgist, I learned the value of a day's work. My father taught me the importance of thing's like integrity and accountability in business. Working in my father's fabrication shop I learned the welding trade.
