Sorry for the Ron White reference;-)

I had my boat at the welder today and I was very pleasantly surprised.
I went to Fusion Welding in Ft Myers. It was a little TIG job on my
boat but they worked me into the schedule right away, did a good job
and got me out the door for $60sumpin. I rounded it up to $70 and
left smiling. These guys are not really set up to make change.

They were doing some pretty cool stuff there and they have just about
any big metal machine you could ask for. One guy was cutting CAD based
patterns with a plasma cutter, they have a sand blasting bay and it
looks like they might even powder coat. They were certainly prepping
for it.
Best part, I picked out some primo stuff from the aluminum recycle and
they gave it to me (a piece of 6x6 1/4" square tube a couple feet long
and some 2x6 1/8" about the same size)
Great stuff for making brackets and other widgets

Thanks for posting. That's a good resource to know about.
