Built From
Raw Steel.
KR Fabrications designs, cuts, welds, and finishes custom metalwork — from fire features and one-off parts to plasma-cut art. If it can be made from steel, I can build it.

Welding
TIG and MIG welding on steel and aluminum — structural, functional, and clean cosmetic work.

CNC plasma cutting for precision parts and custom metal art cut to any design or subject.

Fire features, brackets, enclosures, and repairs — bring a sketch, a part, or just an idea.
About KR Fabrications
KR Fabrications is a one-person sheet metal and welding shop — I handle every job personally, from a rough idea or napkin sketch all the way to a finished, coated part. Cutting, welding, and finishing are all done by the same set of hands.
The work runs from practical fabrication and repairs to custom fire features and plasma-cut artwork. Small-batch and one-off jobs are welcome — the kind of work that's too custom for a production shop is exactly what I take on.
