For 10 days it’s a citywide celebration of true western hospitality in a party atmosphere!
So much to see and do…

The Calgary Stampede has grown into one of the world’s richest rodeos, one of Canada’s largest festivals and a significant tourist attraction for the city.

The Stampede attracts over one million visitors per year and features an exciting parade, thrilling rodeos, the midway, concerts, stage shows, agricultural competitions, chuckwagon racing, First Nations exhibitions and so much more…

Don’t miss out! Head downtown to the parade Friday morning and on to the Stampede grounds for some foot-stomping, heart-pounding action and a truly memorable experience.

Worlds Best Ping Pong Table

The Welding Shop Calgary Solid Metal Ping Pong TableBefore you make the worlds best ping pong table you have to take a moment to see where the common particle board, stuck in the corner of the basement, suburban ping pong table came from.

Table Tennis or Ping Pong, originated in Victorian England, where it was played among the upper-class as an after-dinner parlour game.

It has been suggested that makeshift versions of the game were developed by British military officers in the 1860s or 1870s, who set up books across the middle of a normal table and hit a golf ball back and forth using other books as paddles.

The next major innovation was by James W. Gibb, a British enthusiast of table tennis, who discovered novelty celluloid balls on a trip to the US in 1901

In the 1950s, paddles that used a rubber sheet combined with an underlying sponge layer changed the game dramatically.

The table itself underwent various iterations as technology advanced until 2018 when The Welding Shop Calgary hand welded the first Full Metal Ping Pong Table.

Want one? Get one!

Give us a call 403-273-7717 or get in touch and we’ll build you a Ping Pong table to last a lifetime.

Need Extra Tool Storage?

As your business expands so will the amount of equipment and space you need to haul that equipment around.

What are the solutions to the need for more space.

Well, you could go out and buy a big new expensive trailer but if you just need a little more room for some new tools, why not give The Welding Shop Calgary a call at 403-273-7717 and see if we have a solution to your expanding business needs.

This trailer was just running out of space when it’s owner decided that it still had a few more good years in it and with an add on tool cage to the front he gained the extra space he needed for his expanding tool needs.

How to Fix Your RV/Trailer Hot Water Tank

The Welding Shop Calgary RV Water Heater RepairWith the great weather everyone is getting their RV’s and Trailers out of hibernation. Some stored in good health in the yard or driveway, others at a local self storage facility just waiting for their owners to come and dust of the dash board.

Here’s a common occurrence that many will encounter after such a cold winter. If you left some water in your RV or Trailer water heater you could be left with a nice crack in the casing.

If you are one of the unlucky one’s, don’t panic.

Everyone Needs an Upgrade

Every now and then everyone needs an upgrade.

The Welding shop Calgary built these brand new hoppers for the City of Calgary asphalt plant but that was only half the battle. Getting them into place took a little nudge and a big crane but the upgrade was a success.

Check back next week to see a really cool custom tilt deck trailer we’re working on.
