About the shop

Learned in Texas. Built in Toledo.

Red Beard Fabrication is a locally owned fab shop on Marine Road in Toledo. Tory learned the art of welding in Texas more than a decade ago and spent years working in fabrication shops, advancing his knowledge of the trade, before opening Red Beard.

“A company focused specifically on quality and customer satisfaction. We are here to work with you and your family to make your thoughts come to life.”

The shop specializes in stainless steel and aluminum, and takes on jobs big and small: a one-off header for a race car, a railing for your stairs, or a rusted-out classic that needs new metal. You'll find the shop at the Performance Racing Industry show and at burnout competitions, and new work goes up on Facebook regularly.
