Owner, Affordable Custom Welding, LLC

WHO IS BEN WALKER?

Affordable Custom Welding, LLC is owned and operated by Ben Walker. Ben is a US Army veteran with two deployments, one to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. Ben got his start in the welding field as a heavy construction mechanic through a union apprenticeship.

That apprenticeship included college level welding classes, and before long Ben found himself spending more time on the fabricating side of the shop than the mechanic side of the shop. After some time, Ben founded Affordable Custom Welding, LLC.

Ben truly enjoys the problem solving and engineering aspects of custom welding and fabrication projects. This includes restorations and repairs, sometimes restorations and repairs take more creative thinking than a new fabrication which makes them just as much fun as new fabrication. Regardless of what the project is, they are all unique, which makes every one of them enjoyable.

What is the largest project ACW, LLC has completed?2020-09-04T14:09:01+00:00

ACW, LLC was lucky enough to be asked to build a staircase, widow’s peak, and restore an old fence on the Pieper Mansion in Payson, Arizona. Being part of the restoration on a historic building was a great experience, but building something as large as the staircase and making it fit into the overall aged theme of the house a true pleasure.

What is the hardest project ACW, LLC completed?2020-09-04T14:08:41+00:00

Restoring mufflers for the first Super Bee to come out of the Los Angeles plant. Because the mufflers were date coded and the restoration of the car was being done back to factory original, replacing the mufflers was not an option. What made the project so challenging was the insides of the mufflers were almost completely rusted away thanks to a clan of rats having turned both of the mufflers into rat hotels. This was by far the most technical and challenging project ACW, LLC completed.
