Hello WSC!!!

The powers that be were nice enough to give me this little space to showcase my work, and give you guys another quality option for Welding and Fabrication.
Unobtainium Welding specializes in custom exhaust, but is capable of almost anything.
Having started in the welding industry at a very young age, I've been building industrial and car products for nearly 20 years.
I have attained various certifications through the years in industry and post-secondary education.
I hold an Alberta Journeyman/Red Seal, ABSA B-Pressure, AAR stainless, AWS Chromoly, Nuclear and Aerospace certification with Titanium, Zirconium, Niobium, Inconel, and Titanium-Niobium Alloys.
Here are a few examples of what I have done in the past. I look forward to meeting more from this board.

They sure are some purdy welds!!!
You should consider making a few things that i think would be good sellers like light bars similar to the rally innovations one, H-braces, fender braces etc!! (I would buy them at least)
If I ever win the lottery I will get you to build me a full titanium exhaust for my car  :)

Glad to have you on board.

I have seen some of your work on the other forums and it is fantastic.  Anyone I speak with that has done work with you has nothing but good things to say.

Mitch's car runs on unicorn blood, its rubber is sourced from the hooves of pegasus', and it drives on rainbows and dreams.
It uses infi-boost, smells like Japan, and is fast as tits.

Where do you get your tubing mandrel bent? Or do you just purchase pre-bent elbows and cope them?

I just buy the bends and cut accordingly as needed.

Wow, unreal. If you need a donor car for a mock up over a weekend or something, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Would love to get a light bar made up.
