PIE Weld & Machine recently completed another mobile stainless steel repair for one of our aviation industry clients here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
The issue was with a turbo jet engine stand stainless steel oil drip pan. The existing overflow drain tube was undersized and could not evacuate spent oil fast enough during operation, causing oil to overflow and create a mess and spill hazard.
Our client contacted us because the engine was already mounted in the stand and needed an on-site repair completed quickly and correctly. We arrived on site by 7:00 AM with our mobile welding trailer fully equipped for stainless steel fabrication and repair work. By 8:30 AM we had:

• Drilled and prepared a new opening
• Fabricated a larger stainless drain tube from material we had in stock
• Fully TIG welded the new tube assembly into place
• Completed the repair with minimal downtime for the customer

This week’s project: a custom surf fishing rod rack installed on a Jeep, built with marine use in mind.

The rack originally came off another truck, but with some modification and TIG welding, I was able to adapt it for a clean, secure fit on this setup. The mounting points required steel TIG welding, while the rack itself is aluminum keeping it lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for harsh saltwater environments.

This kind of project ties directly into the marine fabrication work I focus on. I specialize in aluminum welding for boats and fishing applications, including custom rod holders, surf fishing racks, and other aluminum fishing equipment built to handle real conditions on the water.

Serving Middletown, DE, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Chesapeake City, Elkton, and Ocean City, I’m focused on helping local fishermen with durable, functional aluminum fabrication whether it’s for your boat, truck, or surf fishing setup.

Check out the photos to see how this build came together from start to finish.

Completed a structural aluminum dock repair this week on a waterfront property along the Bohemia River, feeding into the Chesapeake Bay. This project involved a three-section floating aluminum dock system where the center 12 ft section—hinged to the fixed shoreline structure—suffered critical joint cracking due to stress fatigue.
After inspection, I identified the dock was fabricated from a 5000 series aluminum alloy, so I selected ER5356 aluminum filler wire to ensure proper strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility in a marine environment. Rather than simply rewelding the failed joint, I engineered a long-term solution by adding reinforced gusset plates to redistribute stress and prevent repeat failure—something often overlooked in dock repairs.
Although mobile welding service was an option, I recommended transporting the dock to my shop. This allowed for better positioning, improved weld quality, and access to specialized equipment—ultimately saving the client money while delivering a stronger, cleaner, and more durable repair.
The result: a fully restored aluminum dock, structurally reinforced and back in service with high-quality weld integrity built to withstand harsh marine conditions.
If you need marine welding, aluminum dock repair, boat lift repair, or waterfront structural welding on the Eastern Shore of Maryland or Delaware beaches, I provide both shop and mobile welding services.

If it’s aluminum or stainless and bolted to your boat, I can weld it, repair it, or build it.

Yesterday we completed a challenging cast aluminum repair for a valued automotive client in Maryland. The timing chain case cover was completely cracked, with one-third of the casting broken. In our shop, we performed precision metal repair welding, thoroughly cleaning the part to remove oil, grime, and dirt, and bevel prepping the crack for a strong, high-quality weld.

Because the part had a machined sealing surface, we mounted it on a surface plate to ensure it was perfectly flat and locked the pieces together for a seamless repair. Using careful AC welding techniques, we drew out contaminants from the pores, cleaned the area with a stainless wire brush, and completed the weld. The result: the part was flat, strong, and held engine pressure perfectly, saving the client weeks of downtime waiting for a replacement.

This repair highlights our expertise in cast aluminum welding, metal repair welding, precision machining, and high-strength metal repairs, delivering excellent results for automotive shops and clients across Maryland and Delaware.

🚁 LEAK WELDING REPAIR for the CH-47 Chinook rotary hub shipping container

We repaired a leaking storage container for a CH‑47 helicopter rotary‑hub. The container must stay airtight to prevent moisture‑induced corrosion during shipment, so it’s nitrogen‑purged when in service.
• Dye‑penetrant testing (DPT) revealed the crack locations.
• An air‑pressure test with soapy water pinpointed the exact leak point.
• We then applied a reinforced patch that fully covers the compromised area.

🚨 Weekend Rescue for a Marine Client in Warwick, MD! 🚨

When a critical gear drive sprocket snapped on a marina Boat lift on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake, I jumped into the shop on Sunday and fully rebuilt the part. It required to be turned on the lathe, cleaned, beveled, tack‑welded, welded and an added reinforced back‑weld. The finished piece was hand‑delivered early Monday so the crew could get back on schedule without missing a beat.

💪 Marine welding is my specialty—from boat hulls, propeller and skeg repairs to dock equipment, I keep the waterfront running smoothly right here in Warwick, MD.
If you ever find yourself in a jam, give me a call. I’m on standby 24/7 for the Chesapeake‑area marine community.

🚁 RESTORING A LEGEND: Custom Fabrication for the CH-47 Chinook

We recently had the distinct honor of supporting a historic preservation project for a CH-47 Chinook helicopter destined for a national museum. Because original components are prioritized for active-duty flight lines, we were commissioned to engineer a custom aluminum re-fuel mount fixture from scratch. Utilizing precision machining and specialized marine-grade aluminum , we successfully bridged the gap between rare OEM scarcity and museum-quality restoration. This build highlights our shop’s commitment to high-stakes aviation fabrication, ensuring that even the most legendary aircraft are restored with the structural integrity and precision they deserve.

From the shop floor to the edge of space!

We recently had the honor of completing a very specialized repair project for the world-renowned Bartol Research Institute at the University of Delaware.

This aluminum frame is a "gondola." Its job is to protect millions of dollars of sensitive scientific instruments as they are carried by a massive helium balloon to altitudes of 150,000 feet—that’s way higher than jets fly, right at the edge of space!

These payloads fly huge circles over places like Antarctica to study cosmic rays, and when the mission ends, they come down hard on the ice via parachute.

This specific frame took some damage on its last landing. We were brought in to perform critical aluminum structural repairs, ensuring it is flight-ready for its next mission.

The Bartol Institute right here in DE has been a global leader in space physics for 100 years. We are incredibly proud to use our TIG welding skills to play a small part in getting this amazing science back off the ground.
