need aluminum fabricator near Laplace or within 25 miles
I would prefer someone who has experience working on boats rather then just a metal fab guy. I just think there might be some things to do with boats that a regular fab guy may not know about the best way to do something. i think you know what I mean, when I say I want it to look like it was always there and that's how it was bought from the dealer. anyone know a guy who does good looking work so that wont look like it was something you added to the boat? I can travel more then 25 miles if needed but prefer someone in my area thank you for your help |

I'm not sure if they are still around, but it won't hurt to give them a call. They were in Laplace.

I love his work, haven't seen anyone do better work, a true artist and he is a guy I would recommend to anyone anytime but I have been on a waiting list from him since the end of October and it still doesn't look like he has time for me anytime soon so its time I start finding another option.

wish he would have been honest and upfront about it 5 months ago EDIT: after the way he handled this, I think I had way too high of an opinion of the kind of guy he was Last edited by keakar; 03-16-2014 at 12:31 PM. |

I'm seeing a trail of dissatisfaction with all feedback and advice people give you... |

just because I want to get the most opinions I can does not mean I don't value and accept your suggestions. its not dissatisfaction, its a desire to get more feedback and advice. do you go buy a car from the first dealer someone tells you about or do you ask to see what other choices you have so you can make a choice between options? I don't understand why you feel it is somehow wrong or your opinions are somehow not appreciated just because I continue to ask if there are any more recommendations on something. do I overthink things sometimes? I'm sure I do, nobody is perfect in this world but since when is asking for more advice a bad thing? I am shocked at such an attitude that you wouldn't feel you should share advice or label me as someone not worth helping because someone dares to not jump on the first suggestion offered to them or change to share the same opinion as you. that's more in line with the attitudes at LAS and not a friendly website like this one. or so I thought Last edited by keakar; 03-16-2014 at 09:08 PM. |

I have to admit normally when I see people who fail to come back to a thread and report if advice helped solve the issue I say to myself it was rude of them not to give and closure to the conversation. if I ever did that I am sorry. I just have about a hundred things going on all at once lately and I feel like im going in circles trying to finish things I usually don't fail to thank people for advice and im not sure why I didn't thank you there except to say I must have been side tracked by other things going on at the time. looking back I had failed to finish the threads with thanks in about 6 threads but I also pre-thanked those threads at the beginning in my first post which I often do just in case I forget to thank people later. but I don't see failing to say thanks at the end as a "dissatisfaction with all feedback and advice people give" but simple an impolite oversight which is totally different IMO anyway I thank you for pointing out my oversight because I don't like to be one of those people who don't thank others for advice or help.

just to close out the thread,
I got the boat back today and it was very professional looking work plus he did a lot of little extras like adding latches and locking tabs for the seats in case I wanted to secure things from theft. (i hadn't even asked for anything like that and told him I just needed lids, nothing fancy) they do small jobs right on side of big 1/4 million dollar fishing boats and make you feel like your job is just as important as those big ones are. it really shows in their work that they care about customers and the quality of work they do for them. I would recommend this guy to anyone: David Terribonne - owner Wego Aluminum & Steel Fabrication, Inc 73 LOUISIANA ST WESTWEGO, LA 70094-4161 (504) 340-9349 |
