History

My passion for design and fabrication began in the early 2000’s. I was bit by the off road bug and, over the course of a few years, I had used my father’s farm shop to transform my daily driven Ford Ranger into a respectable off road machine. It was my only vehicle up until December of 2014, and it took me places I never thought possible; including multiple cross country wheeling trips. I still own it to this day and drive it regularly both on and off road.

Building the truck was a learning experience. I used it as a means to implement what I was learning in school, as well as what I was learning through an independent study. Physically performing all of the work helped to refine my fabrication skills as well.

As life progressed, my passion for fabrication grew. I built a small shop of my own that was outfitted with tools similar to what I had used in the farm shop. As I learned more about various fabrication methods and equipment, I began to fill the shop with more versatile tools. Over a couple short years, it has evolved into the capable space that it is today.

Vision

I’ve been using the shop to experiment with different manufacturing processes, and the results have been enlightening. In the years to come, I look to continue honing my skills in pursuit of metalworking perfection.

I’ll continue to explore various metal joining, forming, and machining processes. While proficient in stick, MIG, and TIG welding, there’s room for growth as we continue to work with more exotic materials and welding applications. 

Shifting gears to machine work, our manual machining skills will be tested by creating projects that require both accuracy and creativity. I’m certain that this journey will ultimately lead to CNC, and I look for that to be a new learning experience as well.

I’m a firm believer that human potential is limitless. Nothing is more exciting than seeing a project through from concept to completion; developing and creating something truly original. The new skills that will be acquired in the coming years will surely prove beneficial for building new, exciting fabrications and assemblies. We’re excited to see where this journey leads.
