About
I'm a 50 year old guy with a love and passion for all things mechanical. I love designing and building things, so work is not really work! What started as a hobby in 2014 evolved into a full-time venture in 2022.
With over 35 years’ experience in designing, fabrication, machining, and welding we can provide the level of craftsmanship you require in your project. Located in the Midwest, we have quick access to suppliers and subcontractors. We can ship your order anywhere in the lower 48 in a few days or less. Driven by challenge, each new project is a new opportunity to help you succeed.
The other half of "WE" are Porkchop (CEO) and Brisket (COO). These two were the smarter half of the Bulldog Machine Works team! Sadly, in 2024 they passed on. Without their wisdom and guidance I'd have been lost. Porkchop and Brisket ran the shop AND are were in charge of collections!
