Hi everyone my name is Brent I have been living here in Paraparaumu for eight years now.
I have over ten years experience in Metal fabrication and do it now as a hobby at home.
I’m looking to expand what I do to the wider community and offer to make, repair or modify almost anything made from metal, I am limited to mild steel, for now, due to what tools I have and mainly deal with tube projects.
Here is an example of a table I made for our BIG veg pod.
If anyone wanting something made out of tube, like a chair frame etc, please send me a message and I will get back to you and hope to help.
