Today we're featuring Frank Pagano of PAG Welding and Fabrication. He fabricated 4 standoffs for a boat lift fixture's crossmembers. He used round stock instead of pipe and stepped up the saddle thickness to .312" to make it more durable.

He says, "Lots of positive lessons learned on this job both personally and technically. It was a job that no one wanted for various reasons but I felt compelled to help this person because he is an 83 year old man who thought his boating season was over once his lift failed. He just wanted to fish!! I grew up without grandfathers (both deceased before I was born) so I have a soft spot in my heart for scenarios like this. I love where welding takes me sometimes!"
