Salty Dog Fabricators is located in Gustine, CA and has been owned and operated by Blake Giles since 2023. Blake has a degree in engineering and mechanical design. He also has extensive hands-on experience in welding, fabrication, and industrial design.

Giles Iron was opened by Blake in 2014, a side business to his full-time job. Giles Iron primarily focused on CNC plasma cutting. In 2020 He resigned from his employed position and shifted his energy toward his own business. In 2023 the business was restructured, branded with the best dog ever, Kupe and formed Salty Dog Fabricators LLC.

In his free time, Blake is a volunteer firefighter. He enjoys hunting and spending time outdoors. You can also find him visiting one of our local watering holes enjoying a salty dog. We look forward to working with you. Cheers!
