Work Experience
Welder/Fabricator
Ernest Blaise - Commerce, GA
April 2016 to Present
I have been a millwright for nearly 14 years, I began welding stainless steel in the food industry while working for Larry Phillips and federal construction. At federal we were responsible for the fabrication maintenance at Smithfield's in cumming, ga where I have preformed complete sanitary Tig welds in holding tanks, vats, high pressure pipes, and have built work platforms from diamond plate stainless. When working in the food industry all welds must be a complete weld. Meaning that there can be absolutely no holes,pockets, under cuts or divots of any kind. Since I have been running my own fabrication shop I have been fabricating equipment and preforming solid sanitary welds for companies such as home chef, Suzanne's kitchen, Dupont where I have replaced the bottoms of their hold tanks to make them more efficient. My Tig welding skills have been called "picture perfect" by Larry Phillips, " like a machine has done it" Chris Lambert from kal-polymer, " better than I am" by Grady sullens a 30 year millwright and also one of my teachers in the millwright profession. I can weld 1100 feet of trench drain in one day. Had to make and install Switzer in Atlanta. I can go on and on but if given the opportunity I prefer to dazzle you in person.
Tig welding stainless steel is a passion of mine, it is an art form that very few people have the talent for. Anyone can pick up a paint brush and paint a picture. Very few of us can pick up a piece of stainless steel and make it a thing of beauty.
