Scott and Clayton did a fantastic job repairing the cast aluminum hub on my 2008 Husqvarna TE610. I had come out from Maryland to ride Colorado's beautiful trails when my sprocket fasteners backed out causing excessive stress on the hub - cracking it. In that realization i felt royally screwed and called different welding shops in town that actually recommended that six line metalworks can weld aluminum. Low and behold within 12 hours he did a beautiful job with a TIG weld repair on the hub that is still holding up after enduring the alpine loop and some HARD trails. Shout out to these two guys

We used Six Line to do some small handrail projects, then to fabricate 40 pieces of 3' x 10' steel louver for an apartment project. They are super easy to work with. From design through fabrication and delivery, they are always professional and on time. I would highly recommend Six Line!
