Got a call about a grapple that snapped after some previous welds gave out. We cleaned it up, chased out the cracks, and burned in some fresh dual‑shield to get it back in working shape.

This is a temporary fix—the plate is stressed and already showing fractures. A proper long‑term repair means fabricating a new bracket and rebuilding it the right way.

For now, it’s back in service and holding strong until the full rebuild happens!

Give me a call at 605-252-2034 for your welding repair needs in the Leola and surrounding area!

Wrapped up a small but important job Sunday — a brisket bar that didn’t match the customer’s cattle chute. I reworked the bar, fabricated new mounting points, and fit everything so it operates the way it should. Clean, strong, and ready for work 💪

I am now accepting orders for portable panels, gates & custom requests!

Portable 10' panels are built from 1x1 square tube. $195 per 14 GA panel @ 85lbs or $145 per 16 GA panel @ 66lbs. These are lightweight but stout panels, easily moved by hand.

Supporting two options for gates. A heavy-duty option built from 1.5" 11 GA frame and 1.25" 14 GA rungs and a medium-duty option built from 1.5" 14 GA frame and 1.25" 14 GA rungs. These are competitively priced against typical competitors while being much stronger. Welded hinges support 3/4" J bolts (also included with price) & come with 40" chain & keeper. Up to 14' will be bent tube frame, but can support non-bent up to 20'. Gate size measures 5" short to account for hinge spacing (ie. 10' gate measures 9' 7" actual). Pricing and weights are listed in pictures.

Prices are for bare metal. I can paint for an additional $50 / product.

I currently have a 10' 11GA gate and a 12' 14 GA gate available on hand.

I can support whatever hinge spacing needed on panels or gates if you want something compatible with what you already own.

I can also support custom sizes or requirements. Included in pictures is a custom creep gate I built. The one shown priced out to $335.

I am also offering delivery and gate hanging services. I can support your standard j-bolt through wood posts or welded on hinges.

I also plan to keep 3/4" J bolts, chain keepers & quick latches on hand if you need just those.

I am experimenting with some clamp on hinges for my 1.5" gates as well as some quick spring latch options, I will update when these options are available.

Please reach out to Willem Hoffman @ 605-252-2034 anytime for orders or quotes!

How much stuff can I fit in the back of this longbed 😂

Moving some portable panels I built for temporary calving pens. A guy can never have too many panels on hand! These are 10' x 5' built from 1x1 14 gauge, easy to move by hand.

I've got some gate projects going on as well. I'll post at a later time some standard sizes and pricing that i plan to produce. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to get a quote or submit an order!

Built this torque wrench stand for a good friend of mine. Works great to support extensions on torque wrenches/breaker bars for deep well rims (duallys, tractors, trailers, etc.). Supports up to 1" drive (opening measures 1.25" on each slot). The one pictured is 48" height to support tractors. I can build to any height requirement. Price on a 48" stand is $265.

Please reach out to Willem Hoffman at 605-252-2034 or on messenger if you would like one!

Got this bale processor door repaired. There was way too much stress in the corners of the factory 1.5" tube and kept ripping out. Added a second tube and some bracing between the two. Way more firm now!

A mobile welding repair I did to a calf shelter on skids. This door had two of the hinges malform and completely rip out and one hinge snap at the old weld. Due to the design, I had to cut out the old hinges and weld in new hinges in two halves. Additionally the flat bar that the door hangs on in the closed position was tearing out. Got everything braced up so this doesn't happen again. Door swings open with ease now!

Designed and fabricated this welding skid for my mobile welding setup (welder, torch, leads). I can now transfer my setup between trucks with ease. Happy with how it turned out, the custom bent 1.5" tube looks slick!

Paint will come later this spring after I get things finalized.
