Our story

We are a family of 5 in a southeast Alaska town, Ketchikan. Aren (the machinist) and his wife Shalie (the matriarch) are both born and raised in Ketchikan. Having spent years away from Alaska, both returned, re-met each other and started a family. We have a few in line, if willing, to be the next generation of Weldworks llc.

Aren grew up building, fixing, and creating. He has decades of experience as a mechanic, welder, and manual machinist. He is dedicated to quality and problem solving.
