Using social media to grow a side business focused on automotive aftermarket parts
The Fabricator
Being a small company has its challenges, especially navigating how to best market it on social media. It’s a job that never really turns off. I've been handling social media for Barnes Metalcrafters since Twitter was in the early stages and before Instagram even existed. Using social media has helped showcase our capabilities, but it wasn’t until Mountains2Metal came along that we had products to push.

Making one-step beveling a reality in the metal fabrication shop
The Fabricator
As with many things in metal fabricating, beveling of thick materials is not an exact science. Sometimes a metal fabricating shop avoids trying to put a bevel on a part made from 1-in. plate, for example, because its table doesn’t have enough power to make the thicker cut that’s necessary for something like a simple groove bevel or because the attempt to make such a bevel results in material loss toward the bottom of the bevel. It’s not worth the hassle, so a secondary process is used.

How metal fabricators can protect themselves from inflation in 2022
The Fabricator
We’re only in the first half of 2022, but it’s already shaping up to be a challenging year across the board. And while some of these challenges are not new — the supply chain has been in low gear for well over a year now, and labor shortages have affected everyone — the added complexity of inflation and rising interest rates will affect bottom lines, both in 2022 and beyond.

Local man becomes underwater welder
Daily Press
Maximus Krachinski graduated from CDI Technical Institute Jan. 28 in Jacksonville, Fla. Krachinski, a North Central graduate, is the son of William and Christine Krachinski of Bark River. Prior to enrolling at CDI to become a commercial diver, Maximus attended Bay College, where he earned a certificate in welding, and an associates degree in applied science in addition to several American Welding Society certifications. Krachinski spent 800 hours over the course of five months to complete the commercial diver (underwater welder) program at CDI. Becoming an commercial diver/underwater welder is perhaps one of the most difficult paths a welder can choose to take.

The problem of anisotropy in metal forming
The Fabricator
When trying to determine the source of splits and wrinkles in their formed components, metal stampers often forget about anisotropy. Also known as directionality, anisotropy is a change in the crystalline structure of metals during the rolling process. Both cold- and hot-formed coils are subject to anisotropy from the intense force of the rolling operation. As a result, the mechanical properties can be significantly different at different directions across the plane of the sheet material.

How It Works Small amount of air is drawn into the helmet.
Streams of air flow inside the helmet.
Face stream prevents lenses from fogging.
Air cools helmet and expels carbon dioxide.
Air dams block fumes from entering helmet.
No Cords or air hoses to deal with. Lightweight device reduces fatigue.
