Unhappy HELP! Need inexpensive reputable Welder in the Seattle area?

I'm just gonnna throw this one out there cus I need help in finding a welder to weld up my sliders. I've phoned and went to several locations pricing the job and 95/hr is like robbery for me considering I have other projects. My good friend who usually does my welding projects for me is in the Police Academy right now or that would be my hook up. I want to get the legs of the sliders welded up before I bring em in for Powder coating. Any suggestions? I've only been finding commercial and mass production welders...frustrating.

Cheers, james w.

I'd do it for you but you'd have to come to OKC, hey if you decide to come bring the Sonics with you.

Most shops charge around the $100 mark. That said a good shop, good welder, shouldn't take very long. I'm in the interior of BC (and a welder) and would do it if you're ever in my neck of the woods. You're needs are not diffcult even for a rookie welder. Check with a tech school they will usually do it for free.

Thanks guys for all the insight. I understand that good and cheap don't normally go hand in hand for a quality job. I am meticulous about the work others do on my Runner, I do most myself...was just trying to save some chips.

Brentcole-I pm'd you if you're still available
