Workshop stories / Craft
Careful welding is not rushed welding
The sparks are the most visible part of the trade, but quality starts earlier. The joint must be understood, the material prepared and the sequence chosen before welding begins.
Preparation is part of the work
Clean contact surfaces, accurate presentation and controlled dimensions create the conditions for a sound joint. Rushing this stage often creates distortion and extra correction later.
Strength and finish belong together
A gate, structure and furniture base do not require exactly the same joint. After welding, alignment, spacing and visual cleanliness are checked alongside strength.
Professional judgement includes saying no
A repair should only be proposed when the surrounding material and expected use support a responsible result. EG Herreria does not repair machinery or agricultural machinery; our focus is architectural and artistic metalwork.
