Made by hand with wood, steel and fire.
Craftasaurus is a one-person workshop. Furniture, forged hardware, and laser-cut pieces, each one drawn, built, and finished to be kept.
Three materials, one bench.
Wood, steel, and a laser. Different tools, the same rule: cut it well, finish it honestly, and leave the marks that prove a person made it.
-
Wood
Furniture and knickknacks, cut and joined by hand. Beautiful wood grains sanded to a glassy finish.
-
Steel
Forged hardware and ironwork. Heated in the coals, hammered on the anvil, then quenched. The hammer marks stay.
-
Laser
Clean cuts and engraving for signs, boxes, and inlay. Drawn first, then cut with precision.
The making
Nothing hides on a piece made by hand.
Three stages, start to finish.
- 01
Drawing
Every piece starts on paper. Sizes, the joinery, the stock. Nothing gets cut until the drawing is right.
- 02
Making
Then the bench. Sawdust, forge scale, the tool in the hand. This is where the hours go and where the marks are made.
- 03
Finishing
Oil, wax, or a hand-rubbed patina. Sanded, checked, and signed on the underside before it is packed and shipped.
Recent pieces off the bench.
A few things made lately. The shop opens soon. Until then, commissions are open and every piece can be made to your size.
Made by a passionate crafter
I run Craftasaurus on my own. I draw it, cut it, forge it, and finish it. No production line, no outsourcing, no piece leaving here that I would not keep myself.
When something carries a plane mark or a hammer face, that is not a flaw to sand away. It is the proof that a person made it, for you, out of a real material that will age and last.

Have something in mind?
Tell me what you want made. I will say honestly whether wood, steel, or laser is right for it, what it costs, and how long it takes.
