🏗️ Heavy Equipment Down? Not On Our Watch! 🏗️

​When a massive 20-ton industrial crane developed structural cracks, the job required precise prep, total pe*******on, and certified expertise to get it back up and running safely.

​At 4W Metal Works & Construction LLC, we don't just patch steel—we do it right.

​🔧 The Process:
​Gouging & Prep: Ground down and prep-grooved the cracked sections to clear out fatigue and ensure full-depth weld pe*******on.

​Precision Fit-Up: Cleaned, prepped, and aligned the structural plate sections.

​Certified Welding: Laid down clean, heavy-duty structural passes to restore full load-bearing strength.

​When dealing with 40,000 lbs of lifting capacity, there is zero room for error. Structural crane repairs require a certified welder who understands code, pe*******on, and safety.

​Big or small, shop or field—if it's metal and it's broken, we build it back stronger than before. 💪⚡

Smoker Modification & Tune-Up Complete! 🔥🍖

​Took this pit to the next level with a few key performance and usability upgrades:

​New Tall Smoke Stack: Upgraded to a larger, taller stack to dramatically improve draft and airflow—meaning cleaner smoke and better temperature control across the cook chamber.

​Expanded Firebox Door: Cut out and fabricated a significantly larger firebox door so feeding big splits is smooth and hassle-free.

​New Stainless Steel Spring Handle: Welded on a fresh stainless spring handle to keep heat transfer low and make opening the firebox safe and comfortable.

​Grate Adjustments: Fixed up and re-aligned the internal cooking grates so they slide easy, sit level, and give maximum usable surface space.

​Big airflow upgrades like this turn a struggling pit into an effortless wood-burner. Ready to lay down some serious BBQ!

Some builds hit completely different. 🤍🕊️

​Losing family is never easy, but being able to lay down welds for someone you love is one of the most personal things you can do in a shop. Every cut, weld, and bead on this cross was made with a heavy heart, honoring a life cut far too short (2006–2026).

​It’s hard putting feelings into words when someone you care about passes, but taking the time to build something solid and permanent that will stand out there for years to come meant everything to me.

​Forever in our hearts, AKW / LLAW. You will never be forgotten. Rest easy. ✝️🕊️

Custom Heavy-Duty Steel Bank Fishing Rod Holders
Tired of flimsy, store-bought rod holders that bend the first time they hit hard clay or a rock?
These are built to be absolutely indestructible. Hand-welded right here in the workshop, these heavy-duty bank stands are engineered to hold up against big fish, strong currents, and a lifetime of rough use. Whether you are targeting giant catfish, carp, or fishing the surf, these holders will not budge.
Features & Specs:
The Body: A massive 28" main rod made from solid 1/2" slick steel rod. It won't bend or warp when driving it into tough ground.
The Rod Holder: A heavy-duty 6" long piece of 2" diameter pipe, built wide enough to easily slide in thick foam or cork handles on heavy catfish and surf rods.
The Anchor: A premium, 1/4" thick solid stainless steel triangle welded onto the frame. It acts as a perfect foot-step or hammer-plate to drive the stand into hard earth, and because it’s stainless, it won't rust out from being buried in wet mud.
The Finish: Fully prepped, cleaned, and freshly painted to protect against the elements and prevent rust.

There’s nothing quite like giving back to the places that shaped you.

Today I had the privilege of fabricating the custom brackets and handling the installation for the new scoreboard on the very same ballfields I grew up playing on as a kid. Stepping back onto these fields to put our work on display hits a little different.

A huge thank you to the league for trusting 4W Metal Works & Construction with this project. We built it heavy-duty to ensure it keeps score for the next generation of ballplayers for years to come.
