Decades of Workmanship, Modern Precision & True Metalcraft
At Steel Magnolias and Blade Customs, we believe that real craftsmanship comes from knowing materials inside and out. Based in Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), Eastern Cape, our workshop was built on a simple philosophy: give every job—no matter how small or complex—the time, structural integrity, and detail it deserves.
We aren’t a high-volume factory stamping out generic parts. We are an artisan workshop equipped with the machinery, heavy tooling, and specialized welding processes required to solve real-world mechanical and structural problems.
Our Core Welding Processes & Technical Capabilities:
TIG Welding (GTAW): High-precision, clean welds on aluminum, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and thin-gauge metals where aesthetics and structural perfection are essential.
MIG / MAG Welding (GMAW): Heavy-duty structural welding for steel gates, frameworks, vehicle repairs, and thick plate fabrications.
Stick / Arc Welding (SMAW): Reliable, high-penetration field and shop welding for heavy structural applications, cast iron repairs, and thick carbon steel.
Brazing & Hard-Facing: Specialized joining of dissimilar metals and surface reinforcement for high-wear mechanical components.
Custom Refinishing: Complete surface prep, rust remediation, and custom spray painting to match your project’s precise specs.
Whether you need assistance refining an initial engineering concept, modifying a chassis, or fabricating a one-off metal assembly, you work directly with the craftsman behind the mask.
