Contact Welder: Cottage Grove, Minnesota

Thanks for stopping by! My name is a Christopher Ackerman and this is my gallery. Here, you will find a collection of unique artwork. Some pieces are functional, some will just make you think. Every piece is forged with thoughtfulness and emotion.

Trusty Shellback Welding (TSW) is a Small Business located in Cottage Grove, MN. I am a qualified welder with thirty seven qualifications obtained partly through Advanced Welding Institute Eagle River, Wisconsin (AWI). 

Born in Japan to a military family, I had the opportunity to travel but didn’t have a “hometown”. My Parents grew up in Cottage Grove. I have great memories of coming home to Minnesota for the summer when I was younger. It’s always been a dream to call Minnesota my home. Dreams do come true! 

At TSW I strive to exceed every client’s expectations. I go above and beyond to make sure everything is done safely and correctly the first time. We demand discipline, we expect innovation.
