Anyone have a recommendation for metal shops in the metro area that could do things like precision cut a control panel face and/or sanitary weld stainless? Thanks!

tator2k, are you just doing 1/2" couplers or something, or are you having them weld some sort of heating element adapters too? I'd love to have screw-in elements, but I have no idea what the connectors there would be. Haven't thought through that enough yet.
We welding in 4 - 1/2 full couplers and 1 - 1" half coupling (for the element) as sanitary fittings. So we welded the inside of all the fittings (twice as long)
He's typically $80/hr but everything is neg. My project to drill and weld took over 4 hours.
I'm dropping my other kettle off this week and I'll mention I told folks about him and see if I can get us a grp discount.

This time around I'm going to have him just weld the 1" nut from Bargainfittings right into the keg. The 1/2 coupler gives just enough threads to hang on and seal for me. I've made about 6-7 batches so far without the element leaking.
