Lars Helps

Custom Metal Fabrication + Handyperson

Hi, I'm Lars.

If you need help with a project, whether at home or in your shop, contact me. Chances are, I can help.

These are the things I do: Fixing, welding, fabricating and creating. Patching a boat hull, reinforcing a mast, building a trellis, making a belt buckle, various flatware creatures, remodeling my bedroom, welding brewing equipment or building a roller speargun. These are the projects that keep me going and feed my imagination.

The time has come for me to find a balance in my craft that will feed my soul as well as my needs in life. So here we are.
