Without it, you’re out of business with discriminating clients, which is why no project leaves our shop without my personal inspection & approval – that’s how seriously I feel about craftsmanship. We use top grade materials, supplies, tools, & equipment. Only trained and experienced professionals design & craft your order. Then, and only then, is it approved and shipped to you.
All of our work will comply with your plans and carry a certificate of compliance with materials certification; we also maintain a file copy of the work order for possible future reference.
CJO prides itself on getting the job done to specifications, and delivery to you when you need it for your project. Ask any one of our customers for their opinion – we’re that confident in our ability to deliver!
We clearly understand that every completion and maintenance center runs on a budget. We believe our prices are very competitive and unbeatable for custom work of this quality. Call CJO for a quote – we’re sure you’ll agree. Can others fill your order cheaper? Yes, but as John Ruskin said, “There is hardly anything in the world that some men cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man’s lawful prey.”
It’s sometimes difficult to appreciate what goes on “behind the scenes” to provide you with a product, so we’ve prepared a brief tour of our processes.
We examine the specifications of each order to thoroughly understand the application of the item, its composition, and special features- such as radius edges, recessed handles, and integrated drains.
When our technicians identify an anomaly in a drawing, we will resolve it with your staff before proceeding. Metals are selected based on your specifications- all aircraft components carry a certificate of FAA materials compliance. Individual pieces are cut precisely, then shaped on our late model, calibrated brakes.
Welded metal joints are joined using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), more commonly known as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. TIG is an arc process that uses a non consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as a plasma.
TIG welds are permanent and much stronger than soldered joints, which will eventually fail and require return to a shop for repair.
Clients’ unique requirements frequently include features such as recessed handholds, spring-assisted lids, and drain fittings. Each is carefully integrated into the overall piece for a professional fit and finish. Products are then cleaned and polished to specification. We then do testing and final inspection, prepare appropriate documentation, and carefully package the item for shipment.
A Final Product – it’s a shame that it’ll be out of sight!
