Artist Bio
My name is Joey O'Neill. I have been welding since 1991.
I gained my experience initially by visiting a friends shop who was working on different projects. Welding intrigued me immediately, so I asked to be taught. I worked for him in a small fabrication shop as well as a few others on my days off over the next ten years.
I then decided to enroll in a welding school to learn more of metallurgy, blue print interpretation as well as different welding processes.Once completing that school, I began to do shipyard work. Once the contract ran out, I began working in a large fabrication shop.Eventually, I moved on to becoming a welding instructor where I went to school. This is where I have found a home. In addition, I've been a member of the American Welding Society since 2003.I also started this small company after learning that there is a demand for new fabrication and weld repair work. I have also discovered a talent of turning metal into artwork. I have numerous pieces on this site under 'Local Artists', JFOWELDER.
