| About our business |
My name is Todd Durdella and I opened this business reluctantly because even though all
those who know me have complete confidence that a fabrication shop owned and run by
myself would be a huge success, I've always been partial to working meticulously on projects
owned by myself and my closest friends as a hobby. As my friends spread the word about my
abilities I began to do work for more and more "strangers". I soon realized that I had a
business whether I was ready for it or not. More importantly, I realized that, because I make
sure to inform and involve the customer in all aspects of the build process; through the
constant conversation with my customers I was making new friends too. By the end of the
build I was no longer working for a stranger I was working on a friends project.
I have over 15 years of experience as a machinist and I am proud to be a part of the skilled
and storied workforce that is the American Machinist. I started out in the machining field
sweeping floors and cleaning machines right out of high school while I attended classes to
become a Journeyman Mold Maker. I proceeded to work my way through the ranks and
became the foreman of a Tool and Die shop that had 13 employees. As I proceeded through
my career as a machinist I also began building my skills as a fabricator. Over the past 12
years I have used my fabrication skills to build prerunners, rock crawlers, lifted show trucks,
and all kinds of other toys. I also owned and operated a company that built apparatuses for
cellular sites and microwave repeater sites. I now make a living as a Tool and Die machinist
and as the owner / operator of 151 Fabrication Co.
I look forward to hearing from you, working for you, and being counted as one of your friends.
Please contact me with any of your questions or comments.
