My destiny to be a Decorative/Structural Ironworker started right out of High School. I happened to be searching for a job, and ended up working for an Ornamental Iron Shop back in 1981, which shall remain nameless since it remains one of our competitors/friend, I worked there for about 3 1/2 years, learning all aspects of Decorative Iron Railings, fabrication and installation technique. I found myself laid off in 1984. I then ended up working for a large structural steel fabrication Nationwide Steel , This shop was quite organized.They had 3 overhead cranes a beamline & many other large iron working tools , It was here where I honed my welding skills & achieved certification for vertical up (3G) welding & learned all the facets of fabricating & erecting steel buildings and staircases. In 1986 I purchased a flatbed truck & portable welder & started to rent out my truck and welding equipment to Nationwide Steel on a weekly basis, Not long after this the company decided to close it's doors to concentrate on its roofing business, With that, I decided to go it alone and in April of 1987, formally started my own business named E.F. Ironworks, I started subcontracting installations and field work from other railing & structural shops who got the word I was available at a reasonable rate. I even did a lot of work for the Ironworks where I started my career.From that point I ended up getting a small shop (1500 sq feet) to work out of with a friend who was also starting a similar business under a different name , We shared tools & each had a small desk with separate phone line each answering the phone by our respective names. We shared the shop for 2 or 2-1/2 years until he ended up moving out & I took over the whole shop by myself. I was there for another year or so when I finally outgrew the shop & had to move to a new 3000 sq foot shop. At this point I had a great reputation & obtained lots of work by referral.
Finally we moved to our present location in which we have about 3500 sq feet with an overhead crane and yard space, Still a relatively small operation you will be dealing directly with me the owner
