About Me: I am a customer oriented fabricator. I enjoy working with wood and metal and can combine the two seamlessly. I have been working with wood for more than 25 years and have been fabricating metal for more than 15 years. I have an extremely well rounded background and can use my past experiences and knowledge to help create your vision. If your project is outside the scope of my knowledge, skills, or tooling I will tell you upfront so that neither of us wastes time or money.
About My Business: My business is here to serve my customers first and foremost. I strive to deliver top notch service and products on time for a price that is both fair to you and me. I have found that happy customer's become customer's for life and tell their friends and family.
About My Work: My work changes with every project. No two projects are the same. Here are a few examples: turned pine candle stick holders, pine end tables with matching coffee table all with marble tops, stainless steel exterior gates, horse rest stall, custom children's swing set that combined pressure treated wood and cedar, custom office furniture that used powder coated automotive roll bar tubing, stainless steel automotive headers, oak doggy gate, reclaimed plastic lumber deck, custom built in book cases, heavy duty truck bumpers, heavy duty plow frames for skid steers, heavy duty truck back racks, out buildings, wooden mantles, etc. As this list attempts to show, I can work with just about any material and can help make your vision a reality. If you can explain or sketch what you are looking for, I should be able to help you build it. Please don't hesitate to email or call to discuss your ideas. We can do this together!
I have shipped products nationwide as well as to other countries. I work with a freight brokerage company to make sure you never overpay for shipping and handling.

For Mike's Turn a Railroad track into BookendsAs someone who used to work for custommade, I can attest that Karl is one of the best! I went to him with a fairly tough project of cutting a rail down into awards. He was very creative in his approach, and finalized the project on time with tons of communication in between. Highly recommended !

For Hand Forged ToolsI've had a great experience with this maker. I'm in the UK and wanted a specific tool for my son who studies in the US. Karl was really professional and did a fantastic job for me. He also added extra bits, for example he put a personal inscription on the tool for me and was really helpful with delivery and making sure that a personal card was included. I can't fault his professionalism and I know my son is going to be so pleased because there isn't an off the shelf version of the tool that he wants. Thanks again.

For Established Family Name Sign - Dark Walnut StainCustom made & Karl were excellent to work with. The sign is beautiful & the workmanship of a very high quality. I asked for the sign to be ready in a couple of weeks & the turn around time was not a problem to meet. Very satisfied & would definitely recommend this site to friends

For Alex's bike rackI am extremely happy with the final product. Karl was very timely with the project, from the first accepted proposal to the completed project, including installation, was less than a week. The bike rack/hooks was made exactly as I had envisioned them, and for a reasonable price.
