America was made by makers. Carpenters. Blacksmiths. Welders and woodworkers. Together, they made more than things. They made America the greatest nation on earth.
And that same spirit of craft and quality lives on to this very day – in the lives and work of those who carry the storied tradition of making. We believe their stories deserve to be told and we couldn’t be more proud to share them. Because at Sawblade.com, we are Made for Makers.

In just a few short years, Jordan has grown the brand from a small garage start up to one of the leading custom fabrication studios in Texas.

Sarah Conway
Blacksmith
The trades are a great way to make a living. But for Sarah, it completely changed her life. As a teen, she loved making jewelry. But it wasn’t until she took her first welding class, that she realized the true potential she had within herself. Now, she helps create stunning pieces of metal art, while inspiring others to follow their dreams.
