The Crucible

Looking for quality custom work done right the first time? I run a fully equipped home shop in Poway specializing in metal fabrication, welding, woodworking, and custom forge work. My shop is set up for real fabrication work — not a hobby bench. I’ve got a solid workspace with dedicated stations for cutting, shaping, welding, and finishing. Whether you need something built from scratch, repaired, or modified, I can handle it. Capabilities include: Welding (steel fabrication, repairs, brackets, frames, etc.) Custom metalwork using forge & anvil (decorative or functional pieces) Woodworking & carpentry (furniture, structures, custom builds) Tool-based fabrication (cutting, sanding, shaping, assembly) Small to medium custom projects Equipment in shop: Welder setup for fabrication work Forge & anvil for custom metal shaping Full carpentry setup (saws, sanders, workbenches, etc.) Drill press, miter saw, belt sanders, and more Perfect for: Custom furniture (metal + wood combos) Repairs (gates, frames, brackets, tools) Unique forged pieces Home or shop upgrades One-off custom builds Located in Poway, CA – local jobs preferred. If you’ve got an idea, sketch, or broken part that needs fixing, send me a message with what you’re looking for and I’ll get back to you quickly. Fair pricing, solid work, no shortcuts.
