Proud to Build for Our Community
From the Guinness World Record fishing lure to local landmarks — we build the projects that bring Lacombe together.
In 2020 we partnered with the Len Thompson fishing company to fabricate the World's Largest Fishing Lure — earning Guinness World Record recognition. The Yellow & Red Five of Diamonds measures 40 ft 5.25 in long, 25 feet longer than the previous record; the spoon alone is 27.5 ft long and 9.5 ft wide, with a treble hook 14 ft long and 8 ft wide.
We're a proud supporter of our community — our work shows up on landmarks throughout Lacombe, and we're long-standing members of the Lacombe Chamber of Commerce. Whatever the scope, we love turning a big idea into something real.

All Industries →Common Questions.
Did Comet Welding really build a Guinness World Record item? +
Comet Welding fabricated the giant fishing lure that holds a Guinness World Record. It's one of the more memorable projects to come out of our Lacombe shop, and it shows the range of custom fabrication work our team takes on beyond standard industrial and commercial jobs.
Does Comet Welding do community or landmark projects in the Lacombe area? +
Community builds and local landmarks are part of our history in Lacombe. We've contributed fabrication work to projects around the area over the decades, and we take those projects as seriously as any commercial job — they're part of what connects a shop to the community it's been in since 1984.
Can a local welding shop in Alberta help with a community or public art project? +
Comet Welding has taken on community and landmark projects in central Alberta, including the Guinness World Record giant fishing lure. If you have a community build, public installation, or local landmark project in mind, bring us your concept and we'll tell you what's possible.
