Matt Makes It Happen LLC - Metalworks

05/24/2025

Good morning! First, I wanted to thank all of you following and engaging with my page! It has helped me get my business going.

With 6 years in metal fab, I started planning a business in April 2023. I built a shop that summer, and started Novak Metalworks LLC one year later.

I had a few jobs come in, but not many, so that fall I started a second business, Matt Makes It Happen LLC, for remodeling and construction. My dad is a self employed builder, and I grew up doing it. I figured if one business was moving slowly, I could keep an income with the other. So far, this has taken off!

Keeping both businesses operating as individual entities has proved to be an unnecessary headache, so I have decided to dissolve Novak Metalworks, and run the welding shop under Matt Makes It Happen as well. It happens to be a great catch-all name!

So if you are in need of metal fab, check me out at "Matt Makes It Happen LLC - Metalworks". And if you need remodeling and home repair, check me out at "Matt Makes It Happen LLC - Remodeling"!

Thank you all for your support.

Got the green light on the stone bin I drew up a while back! Made to be filled from a skid steer or dump truck(if tall enough), and scooped from with an excavator, to prevent material loss. This one is 2.4cy, 4'x4' base, 4'x8' opening, 3' walls. Roughly 1000lbs. Customer opted to paint himself. If interested in this or other fabrication projects, send me a message! I can create custom sizes too. Shout out to on instagram.

Emergency repair! A customer has an engine driven hydraulic pump on a farm trailer. The small engine died, and the bolt mounting pattern was very different on the new one. I built this replacement mount for the new engine.

I built this 6x10 utility trailer frame for a customer. Turned out great! They are painting and decking it themselves, as well as building sides for it. I would have preferred to move the axle towards the rear as the tongue weight is a bit light, but they wanted to be able to pick it up to move it around by hand.

Customer wanted a 12in star made from rebar as a flagpole topper. These could also be made as lawn/garden stakes or simply hung from the top point on a door or wall.

Customer wanted this wrought iron handrail custom built and installed. I found matching parts to the interior railing, and created this. If you have a custom project, send me a message!

From drawing to reality. Got a large project? I now have the capacity for it!

The stone box will weight around 1200-1500lbs. I'll need a way to move it around once tacked together to finish welding, so I desiged this gantry crane with a 2 ton capacity. If I start getting projects beyond 2 tons, I will be past the ability of this shop and will be looking for industrial space! Hope to have pictures of both welded projects up in the next couple weeks.
