Complete Welding Shop in Bethany, MO

For those who remember Bethany Welding and Machinery, this listing will feel like a walk down memory lane.

Tucked away in Bethany, Missouri, this old shop was once run by the late Bill Hogan — a man well-known in the area for his craftsmanship, ingenuity, and the kind of work ethic you don’t see much anymore. Bill wasn’t just a welder; he was a builder, a fixer, a maker. If it was broken, he could fix it. If it didn’t exist, he could build it. And everything he used to do that work is still here.

Walking into the shop is like stepping back in time. The walls are lined with tools — not just ordinary tools but carefully maintained machines and equipment that have seen decades of honest work. Lathes, milling machines, drill presses, welders, band saws — you name it, it’s here. Metal stock is stacked and sorted, ready for the next project. Wrenches, vices, hoists, and sanders fill the benches. Anvils rest heavy in the corners, while racks of blacksmithing tools and even leatherworking equipment round out the collection.

This wasn’t just a welding shop. It was a place where anything could be repaired, crafted, or reinvented. Bill’s shop was known for being incredibly organized — everything had its place, and nothing was wasted. That same sense of order and purpose still fills the space today.

In addition to the main shop, there’s an extra lot included with the property — a bonus for anyone looking to expand or simply have room to grow.

The listed price of $135,000 includes everything — the tools, the machinery, the extra lot, and the stories that come with them. It’s a rare chance to own not just a building and fully functional workshop, but a piece of local history.

The photos don’t capture the full character of this place — you truly have to see it in person to understand the potential and the legacy.
