I wanted to build a 20 ton press for forge welding Damascus for knives, but I didn't trust my own welding ability to hold together under 20 tons of force. So I contacted Lake via email and sent a sketch of what I was looking for. Lake responded very quickly, and provided a quote within a couple days. Communication before work started was great, ensuring the sketch was clear, and we even discussed possible ways to reduce labor on the project. Once I gave the go-ahead, the work was completed within about a week. The fabrication work was top-notch...welds were great and ground smooth, ready to degrease and paint. The frame was dead-on square and to size per drawings.
Would recommend Lake as a fabricator for anyone needing this type of work. read more
