Looking for a fabrication

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to commission a custom-built, dual-shaft shredder to process non-ferrous scrap metal for my foundry. I am looking for a complete, turnkey solution—frame, motor, gear reduction, hopper, and cutting box all fully assembled and ready to plug in.

Project Specifications:

Materials to Shred: Primarily copper wire and copper pipe.

The entire unit must run on a standard 110V wall outlet. I realize this requires a high-torque, low-RPM gear motor setup to generate the necessary biting force without tripping a standard household breaker.

I am located in the Houston, Texas area (Magnolia/Tomball). Local pickup/delivery would be great, but I am absolutely willing to cover freight shipping for the right builder.

Simple projects!

Been having a lot of fun with these projects this bath month!

I feel like I’m slowly improving in my Santa Maria BBQ builds!

Made a simple gallon rack and bottle holder for my buddies detailing company!

My dad and I helped my neighbors and made an affordable barn style fence and double gate to help them keep their dogs in the yard!

Currently making a rocket stove built into small cooktop table for my friend that likes to go out camping! Just need to weld in the metal great for the table top/ lower shelf and test it out!

Overall been a really fun month!

Help with lid appreciated.

I’ve tried posting to the welding sub, but I don’t have enough internet points to post there. I’ve got a smoker I’m building and am having trouble with the lid. I have some 1” flat bar to use as a lid-seal. The trouble I’m having is that if I use a trailer hinge the flat bar will impede the lid from opening. Any advice is appreciated.

If money was no issue, what project would you make?

If you had unlimited budget what digitial fabrication projects would you make?

I've been learning MIG welding at my engineering internship (tips wanted)

For my internship assignment I need to make a space frame for a research vehicle. I've been teaching myself how to mig weld for the last 3 weeks because of it and here's a practice piece of mine in the photos. I still suck ass at tube welding and those I want to ask

How are my current welds and what's there to improve?
What are techniques or tips to attack tubular welds and to improve?

Random project - Ammo Can Rocket Stove with baffle/re-burner for smokeless burn.

In 2021 I stumbled upon a maker on YT called “Random Chris”. He made a tiny tent stove out of an ammo can and I just loved it! I was determined to make one too. I followed his build as closely as I could and I also put some extras. Looking back, I can’t remember what was his and what I added but here is the final product.

It never worked! 🤷‍♀️.

Looking back, I think maybe I just needed a taller chimney to create more draw but honestly I don’t know.

Any ideas how to make this stove work? And by work I mean make the baffle/re-burner work so that once it hits temp it emits steam instead of smoke? I wanted to make it a cleaner burn.

FYI the large diameter “chimney” coming off the rhs is supposed to make it a “rocket stove” an air intake where small pieces of wood or pellets can be fed in…
