Chico - NS MetalCrafting

Welcome to the NS MetalCrafting YouTube channel. My name is Chico, and I've been welding since I was 13. I'm based in the beautiful southwest part of the UK. In this channel, I will share with you how I turn raw steel and aluminium into custom gates, railings, and other bespoke metalwork for my real customers. I've always said I have the best job in the world. What man doesn't love using dangerous tools to create something meaningful and lasting? Whether you're a welder or simply curious about the fabrication process, watch as I turn metal into my dream business while documenting my journey. Thank you for being here and for your support.
